"I wonder why Lord Li came to your house?"
Mu Zhengfeng didn't know that Li Yunhe only followed Yu Yiluo to the Mu Mansion because of her, and thought that he had something to discuss with Mu Chen.
[I'm just following someone for a free meal, what could possibly happen?]
Yu Yiluo complained in her heart.
[He looked even more energetic after leaving court than before. No wonder Madam Mu wanted to help him tie the knot.]
Look at the little peach blossoms embroidered on the hem of his shirt. Wow, and the fragrance on his body, he's such a sophisticated boy.
The Sixth Princess suppressed her laughter and glanced at Li Yunhe.
"Nothing, I just met Brother Mu and we came to your house for dinner together."
[Here's Brother Mu, are you two familiar with each other? ]
Yu Yiluo rolled her eyes silently.
"Brother Mu, where is Sister Xiaoxiao?"
Qin Qianqian asked curiously as she hadn't seen Xu Xiaoxiao since entering the house.
Is it because of Yang Xin's matter that he is worried about facing Brother Mu?
The Sixth Princess said this was a good thing, but she didn't know what was good about it.
"Xiaoxiao is resting in the yard," Madam Mu continued, "If you want to see Xiaoxiao, I'll have someone take you to her yard."
"good."
Led by the maid, the three of them went to Xu Xiaoxiao's yard. Xu Xiaoxiao was very surprised to see them.
"Meet the Sixth Princess and the Little Princess."
"No need to be so polite," the Sixth Princess helped Xu Xiaoxiao up, "Is it okay to disturb you?"
"No."
Xu Xiaoxiao stood up and asked everyone to take a seat.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry. Brother Mu already knows what Liu Qian asked you to do. I'm afraid..."
Before she finished speaking, she heard Xu Xiaoxiao say, "It's okay, it's good that my cousin knows."
Now Sister Xin'er has been away from Beijing for a few days, and the envoys of the two countries are about to enter Beijing. My cousin has no time to pursue Sister Xin'er at all. The two of them can take this opportunity to calm down.
"Ah," Qin Qianqian looked puzzled, "If Brother Mu knew it was you, he would definitely blame you."
"It's okay," Xu Xiaoxiao picked up the tea, "Actually, I should thank Liu Qian."
Qin Qianqian was confused. Xu Xiaoxiao just smiled and didn't explain. They sat for a while and then got up and left.
As soon as they left, Xu Xiaoxiao said to her personal maid, "Go and ask the young master to come over. Tell him I have something to tell him. If he refuses to come, tell him it's Sister Xin'er's fault."
"Young Madam, aren't you courting trouble?"
The young lady clearly knows that the young master cares about Miss Yang, yet now she invites the young master over to add fuel to the fire. I really don't know what the young lady is thinking.
"Just go if you're told to."
…
The maid went to the front yard and found Mu Chen in the main hall.
"Master, the young mistress asked me to invite you over."
"I still have things to deal with. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
Mu Chen put down the tea in his hand and politely declined.
"The young lady said it was Miss Yang's business."
Hearing the three words "Miss Yang", Mu Chen stood up and strode towards Xu Xiaoxiao's yard.
Xu Xiaoxiao heard a knock on the door, stood up and opened it, looked at the tall and graceful person at the door, and said softly, "I knew that as long as I mentioned Sister Xin'er, my cousin would come over."
Mu Chen walked in, sat on the round stool in front of the wooden table, and spoke bluntly.
"It was you who made Xin'er leave the capital."
When Mu Chen said this, he was not asking Xu Xiaoxiao, but speaking in an affirmative tone.
"Um."
Xu Xiaoxiao sat across from Mu Chen and said, "I did it."
"Why did you do that?"
Mu Chen suppressed his anger. "Xin'er's parents are both in the capital. She has been spoiled since she was a child. How will she survive outside the capital?"
"Is my cousin very angry now?"
Xu Xiaoxiao poured him a cup of tea. "Since you are so angry, why don't you tell your aunt that you still like Xin'er? Why do you let your aunt keep me at home?"
"You think I don't want to?"
Mu Chen stared at Xu Xiaoxiao, "I think Ke Xin'er has no feelings for me."
If Xin'er had any feelings for him, he would have kept her by his side even if he had to force her, but he couldn't. Xin'er only treated him as a brother. What if he forced her to stay? Wouldn't it make her unhappy?
"So you let Auntie keep me at the mansion because Sister Xin'er has no feelings for you. Now I'm telling you, Sister Xin'er does have feelings for you, but she chose not to tell you because of me."
"Are you serious?"
Mu Chen's eyes lit up, but then he remembered what he had asked Yang Xin in the Yang family yard last year. His eyes dimmed again and he whispered, "No, Xin'er said it herself. She has no feelings for me."
"If she has no feelings for you, but rather a brother-sister relationship, then why did she leave the capital?"
Yang Xin looked gentle, but if she really had no feelings for her cousin, she would have stayed in the capital firmly instead of leaving without any argument.
"Don't you understand now? Sister Xin'er is lying to you."
Mu Chen looked at Xu Xiaoxiao suspiciously after hearing this.
"Why are you telling me this?"
Xu Xiaoxiao gave a wry smile and spoke in a low voice.
"Because it's better for me to be sad alone than with three people. I know exactly how it feels to like someone and not have them return the favor. My cousin has been suffering every day these days, and I think Xin'er is suffering too."
"sorry."
Mu Chen felt guilty for his previous anger.
"You haven't wronged me," Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head. "If I were to live with someone I didn't like, I might not be able to do as well as you."
Xu Xiaoxiao paused here and looked at the swaying branches outside the window.
"After the exam, I understood. I didn't understand you. If Xin'er had been by your side at the time, she would have firmly believed that you could pass. She wouldn't have been like me, saying it was for your own good, but in fact, she didn't trust you enough."
At that moment she deeply realized the gap between them.
"You and Xin'er are really a perfect match," Xu Xiaoxiao retracted her gaze and smiled. "I don't know if Xin'er had to break off her engagement with you for some reason, but I hope you can resolve the misunderstanding this time."
"Thank you," Mu Chen stood up, wishing he could fly to Yang Xin right now and explain everything to her.
"what you do?"
Xu Xiaoxiao tugged at his sleeve and said, "The envoys from the two countries are coming to the capital. You can't leave now. Don't worry, Sister Xin'er can't run away."
"I will explain everything to my aunt and divorce you and leave the Mu Mansion."
At this moment, the door was suddenly knocked by someone. Xu Xiaoxiao stood up and opened the door. The two people at the door stood up straight and pretended to look around.
"Aunt, uncle, what are you doing here?"
The two smiled awkwardly, "To help digest the food, we came to your yard, Xiaoxiao."
"You all heard it, come in quickly."
Xu Xiaoxiao directly exposed the two and let them in. "Since you all heard it, that's perfect."
"Xiaoxiao," Mrs. Mu looked at Xu Xiaoxiao with a look of reluctance.
"Aunt, if you really want to do this for my cousin's good, then don't let me stay at home all the time, unless you don't want Xin'er and my cousin to be together."
