In the sweltering summer, even the cicadas have stopped chirping.
At the entrance of Prince Ping's residence, Mu Xiangyang raised an eyebrow: "Oh, so the busy man still knows how to come back?"
Ning Nanxiao chuckled, leaning against the stone lion, his back to the sunlight, and said, "How's it going on your end? I heard you're looking at potential partners?"
"It's all because of Mu Yangrun!" (Prince Ping and the Emperor are brothers, so they both have the surname Mu. The previous sentence was a mistake; this is correct.)
Mu Xiangyang's face showed a hint of impatience: "He wanted to find a noble lady to help him, and thought that I wanted the same thing, so he disregarded my wishes and forced me to get to know those noble ladies. Heh, not only did my parents find out, but my grandfather also found out and wanted me to be with Su Shishi, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites."
"Don't think I don't know what they're up to. They just want to use marriage to tie us to the Minister of Rites and drag Lord Su into this mess."
Ning Nanxiao raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "The Emperor already warned Prince Ping back then that part of Prince Ping's army was in your hands, and another part had been subdued by Yang Wei. What, Prince Ping still hasn't given up that idea?"
"Heh, if my grandfather could dissuade me, it would be like the sun rising in the west." Mu Xiangyang's face showed a mocking expression. "My father and uncles are also overconfident. They actually think that my grandfather is destined for great things. Little do they know that the Emperor has seen everything they have done! Otherwise, why have their official positions either stagnated or been dismissed in recent years?"
"A bunch of short-sighted people!"
As he continued, Mu Xiangyang rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.
Ning Nanxiao chuckled softly: "What are you thinking?"
Mu Xiangyang sighed: "I spoke frankly with the Emperor, and he promised me that as long as the consequences are not serious, he will spare their lives. That's all I can do."
Mu Xiangyang shifted his posture, raised his chin, and looked at Ning Nanxiao: "Don't talk about me. I heard Bai Tuantuan is coming back. Aren't you going to propose marriage?"
"No rush." Ning Nanxiao rubbed his fingertips together. "There's still one person we haven't dealt with."
Mu Xiangyang thought for a moment, then immediately realized: "Xiao Ruyan?"
Before Ning Nanxiao could answer, Mu Xiangyang continued, "Xiao Ruyan is not to be underestimated. She helped Lord Lin rise through the ranks, and now Lord Lin is a member of the Dali Temple and is on good terms with Mu Yangrun."
"The Third Prince is currently very interested in Xiao Ruyan, so you should be careful."
Ning Nanxiao lowered his eyes: "Isn't this courting death?"
"Brother, what are you doing here?" A woman dressed simply in white walked over. When she saw Ning Nanxiao, her face flushed slightly. "Greetings, Your Highness."
Ning Nanxiao didn't even look up: "I'm leaving now."
With that, he patted Mu Xiangyang on the shoulder and left.
Mu Xuerou opened her mouth, a look of disappointment appearing on her face.
Seeing this, what else could Mu Xiangyang not understand?
He glanced at Mu Xuerou with a mocking look: "I advise you to give up this idea. Ning Nanxiao is not someone you can covet."
"Why can't I?" The previous gentleness vanished, replaced by arrogance.
Mu Xuerou gritted her teeth and said, "Among the noble ladies of the capital, who has a more prestigious status than me? What's wrong with me being a match for Ning Nanxiao? Besides, my uncles, father, and grandfather have all agreed. Brother, you have to help me!"
“You’re Ning Nanxiao’s brother. Why don’t you take me with you when you go to see him and create opportunities for us?”
At this point, Mu Xuerou's eyes lit up: "They say that those near the water get the moon first. With your help, brother, I will definitely become the Crown Prince's wife!"
"Heh." Mu Xiangyang chuckled, glancing sideways at Mu Xuerou. "Are you worthy?"
After saying that, he ignored Mu Xuerou and left.
Realizing what was happening, Mu Xuerou stomped her foot: "Brother has gone too far! What's wrong with me marrying Ning Nanxiao? Why won't he help me! No, I'm going to tell Grandfather!"
With that, Mu Xuerou ran off.
The maidservant beside him quickly followed.
Mu Xiangyang naturally knew that Mu Xuerou would complain, so in order to have some peace and quiet, he simply went to Erdong Restaurant.
"Young Master Mu is here? Same as usual?" The waiter greeted him with a smile.
Mu Xiangyang nodded: "Mm."
"Oh, and add another pot of wine."
The waiter quickly agreed.
"Mu Xiangyang, can't you watch where you're going?"
Mu Xiangyang was lost in his own thoughts because of his annoyance. He only came to his senses when he realized that he had bumped into someone. Hearing the voice, who else could it be but Huang Lian?
Huanglian is now a young woman. Her body has been cleansed of toxins, and she drinks a nourishing tea with white, round lips. Her features have matured, and she has become a pretty young woman.
However, his temper is getting more and more fiery.
Mu Xiangyang breathed a sigh of relief and said helplessly, "I was just thinking about something. I'm sorry, Miss Huanglian, please have a drink."
Huang Lian handed the medicinal herbs in her hand to the maid: "Take this medicine to Xin'er."
After saying that, he followed Mu Xiangyang into the private room.
Meanwhile, Guan Xin was drinking tea with the butler when she received the medicinal herbs delivered by Huang Lian. She said calmly, "Go and deliver them to the Second Miss."
"Didn't you catch a cold? Then you should take good care of yourself."
"Yes, Miss."
Today's chips are capable of standing on their own, exuding a powerful presence with every move they make.
As for Guan Baozhu and Guan Chang, even if they were dissatisfied, they couldn't shake her position.
After all, even Director Guan listens to Guan Xin now.
Because the money earned by the tube chip is already hundreds of times that of the tube master.
"Tuantuan is coming back. How is Xiao Ruyan doing?"
As soon as Guan Xin finished speaking, Cheng Er appeared: "Miss will arrive in the capital in three days."
Guan Xin looked at Cheng Er, coughed lightly, and said, "Why did you come out?"
Cheng Er looked at Guan Xin and saw her helpless expression. He smiled and said, "I will explain things to the masters. Wait for my news."
"Actually..."
Tube Core wanted to say something more, but Orange Two had already left.
Tube Core sighed helplessly, "Why are you running so fast! It's not like we're stopping him from going!"
"Naturally, it's because Young Master Cheng wants to settle Miss's affairs as soon as possible!"
Guan Xin's head maid, Xiao Guo, teased with a smile, "Miss, it's so wonderful that you've found happiness!"
Xiao Guo is an orphan that Guan Xin picked up after Bai Tuantuan left. She watched Guan Xin grow up step by step and also watched Guan Xin and Cheng Er confirm their feelings for each other.
The Zheng family.
Zheng Yinrong rested her chin on her hand: "Are you really coming back? You finally decided to come back!"
"Miss, aren't you happy that the princess has returned?"
"Hmph!" Zheng Yinrong turned her head away haughtily, then pouted after a while, "When she gets back, I'll definitely teach her a lesson!"
Amidst everyone's anticipation.
The white-clad carriage finally arrived at the gates of the capital.
Bai Tuantuan lifted the curtain, her eyes filled with undisguised joy. She was finally going to see her family!
