It was clearly a congratulatory message, but Yang Xin almost burst into tears after she finished speaking.
She warned herself not to cry. You came here today to cut off the past with Brother Mu, not to get entangled with him.
[It takes a lot of courage to wish your beloved to grow old together with someone else.]
【The time-traveling girl is really abominable. 】
The fifth princess patted Yu Yiluo and comforted her.
[Why is Mu Chen here? You must have heard everything Yang Xin said just now. I'm sure your heart is broken into pieces.]
Judging by Yang Xin's current attitude, he's likely to receive even harsher words. He'll have to endure this.
As soon as Mu Chen stepped into the yard, he heard Yang Xin's words of blessing. The smile on his face froze instantly, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"Master, you can't..."
Upon hearing this, several people immediately looked towards the gate of the courtyard.
Mu Chen, dressed in white, stood frozen at the gate of the courtyard. The words just now were said by the servant who was chasing him.
"Sorry," he came back to his senses and bowed, "I didn't know mother had a visitor. I'm sorry."
He turned around and was about to leave the yard, but he heard the voice of the person he had been thinking about day and night.
"Brother Mu, come along. These are all the princess's friends."
The Fifth Princess nodded and said, "I am familiar with the princess, so Lord Mu, there is no need to be so rigid."
Mu Chen's breathing stagnated. When he heard Yang Xin's words to keep him, he turned around and his feet unconsciously walked towards the few people.
Since there was an empty chair next to Xu Xiaoxiao, he sat down next to her.
"Chen'er came just in time. Xin'er just delivered a wedding gift to you and Xiaoxiao."
Mrs. Mu felt extremely regretful for letting Mu Xue bring someone she knew.
I thought only Qin Qianqian would be there, but I didn't expect that the fifth princess would also come. Fortunately, the fifth princess is not arrogant.
Xu Xiaoxiao handed the box to Mu Chen, "It's from Sister Xin'er."
Mu Chen tightened his grip on the box, looked at Yang Xin, and said thank you with difficulty.
"You're welcome." Yang Xin's hands trembled slightly, but he said sincerely, "I came here today to say sorry to Brother Mu and the Mu family."
Mu Chen pursed his lips, his heart growing uneasy as Yang Xin spoke.
"Xin'er, why should you say sorry? Marriage is a matter of mutual consent."
Mrs. Mu did not blame Yang Xin in her heart, but she did want to know why Yang Xin wanted to break off the engagement.
"Actually, I've always considered Brother Mu my older brother. A few years ago, when I was younger, I mistakenly thought it was some other affection, but I finally understood later."
Yang Xin tried her best to stay rational, sighed, and said casually: "Fortunately, Brother Mu already has a sister-in-law now, otherwise I really would not be able to face coming to the Mu Mansion."
[Injuring the enemy by a thousand means injuring oneself by eight hundred. Mu Chen, who was sitting next to him, was almost broken.]
Mrs. Mu didn't notice anything unusual about Yang Xin. She smiled and took Yang Xin's hand.
“Since you treat Chen’er as your brother, and I don’t have a daughter, Xin’er, if you don’t mind, you can be my goddaughter.”
Xu Xiaoxiao also smiled and said, "Sister Xin'er can come to the Mu Mansion often."
Yang Xin readily agreed.
Seeing the three people having so much fun, Mu Chen finally couldn't hold back and stood up.
"My child is not feeling well. I'll excuse myself for now."
He stood up and walked out of the yard in a daze.
Xiner said she only regarded him as a brother?
"I'm going to see my cousin."
Xu Xiaoxiao stood up and went out of the yard to catch up with Mu Chen.
"Cousin," she walked to Mu Chen's side and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
I saw that my cousin's face didn't look very good just now, and after hearing what Xin'er said, I guess he must be feeling bad.
She should have been happy to hear that her sister Xin'er had cut off ties with her cousin, but seeing her cousin in pain, she couldn't be happy.
"I'm fine," Mu Chen shook his head, "You go back and stay with your mother."
Xu Xiaoxiao insisted on sending Mu Chen back to the yard, poured him a cup of tea and then returned to the front yard.
"Don't worry, aunt. My cousin probably didn't get enough rest."
Yang Xin lowered her eyes slightly. How could she not see from Mu Chen's expression that he was hurt?
But she had no choice. Apart from ruthlessly giving up this relationship and letting him get over it as soon as possible, she couldn't think of any other way to make him get over it happily.
Xu Xiaoxiao is gentle and considerate, and is the best wife. She and Brother Mu are no longer destined to be together. I believe that it will only take some time for Brother Mu to forget her.
…
Yang Xin didn't remember what Mrs. Mu said later. She only remembered that she kept laughing, afraid that showing an inappropriate expression would cause misunderstanding.
She even had the mean thought that if Big Brother Mu's wife was showing off to her, she might not have to be so cautious, but she could not sense any malice from Xu Xiaoxiao.
After leaving the Mu Mansion, the wind outside blew over the hem of her skirt, and the warm sunshine shone on her body. Yang Xin breathed a sigh of relief, stopped and thanked Mu Xue and the others.
"Thank you, Princess, Princess, and Miss Qin today."
She felt relieved when she saw a few people when she entered. Otherwise, if she was alone facing the Mu family and looking at their whole family, she might not be able to suppress the sadness in her heart.
"Miss Yang, you're too polite. Please go back quickly."
After listening to Yu Yiluo's heartfelt words, the Fifth Princess felt that compared with Yang Xin's love that ended in separation, her forgotten past seemed nothing.
She admired Yang Xin from the bottom of her heart. If she were in his shoes, she knew she couldn't be so selfless.
[Yang Xin's values are truly amazing, and truly heartbreaking.]
Qin Qianqian looked at Yang Xin's back as she got into the carriage and sighed.
"I just don't understand. They obviously like each other, so why aren't they together?"
Although Yang Xin disguised herself very well today, she saw it clearly in the restaurant that day. Yang Xin looked at Mu Chen's departing back with more affection than anyone else.
"It's hard to have it all, and there are always regrets in life."
Mu Xue patted Qin Qianqian's shoulder and said, "Don't tell anyone else about this."
Yang Xin mustered up the courage to say this. If her cousin heard it, all her efforts would be in vain.
This is Yang Xin and his cousin's business, they should solve it themselves.
…
As soon as the few people here left, Mrs. Mu went to Mu Chen's yard.
"Aunt and cousin, please talk. I'll go see what we have for dinner."
Xu Xiaoxiao knew that the two had something to say, so she made an excuse to leave the house, closing the door behind her.
"Mom, why are you here?"
Mu Chen heard the sound, stood up, helped Mrs. Mu sit on the chair, and poured her a cup of tea.
"Chen'er, did you hear what Xin'er said today?"
Xiner said this, she hopes her son will let go of the past and live a good life with Xiaoxiao.
The two have been married for several months, but have not yet consummated their marriage. This is something that worries her.
"Mom, you also know that I only have Xin'er in my heart."
Mrs. Mu also felt sorry for her son. Seeing his face full of sorrow, she began to regret her previous deception.
"Xiaoxiao is a good girl. Xin'er has no feelings for you. Can't you just be kind to the person in front of you?"
Mu Chen closed his eyes and then stood up.
"Mom, I'm going out for a while."
