Chapter 232 Treating her as a love rival

"This must be Sister Xu, seeing is believing, no wonder..."

When the cousin Ding Pingting of the Feng family saw Xu Muhua, she stood up immediately and greeted her warmly. She also stretched out her hand and held her hand intimately.

Xu Muhua almost couldn't help shivering when the warm hand came close to her.

It's the first time they met, there's no need to be so intimate, right?

She retracted her hand inconspicuously and rubbed it in her sleeve.

Eh, if you are too attentive for no reason, you are either a traitor or a thief!

"I see that you are dressed like a virgin, but I'm not yet, so I don't deserve to be called sister. Just call me by my name, my name is Muhua."

Ding Pingting blinked and covered her mouth lightly with one hand, looking surprised. Then she looked embarrassed and said, "Blame me, then I might as well call you Sister Muhua along with my cousin!"

Xu Muhua smiled and said nothing.

After talking about this and that for a while, Ding Pingting finally got to the point.

"Sister Muhua, are you here to see your cousin? As far as I know, your cousin and your elder brother are good friends, but didn't your elder brother go back to the border a long time ago?"

The implication was that your elder brother is not in the capital, so why are you, a girl, looking for my cousin?

Hearing this, Xu Muhua seemed to understand why this cousin was looking for her.

She was a little amused.

Even if this cousin was interested in Brother Feng, she didn't need to be so nervous, right? She acted like a serious fiancée when she saw a woman associating with him.

Xu Muhua rolled her eyes in her heart, but said gently, "I had something to trouble Brother Feng before, and now that the problem has been solved, I came to thank him. I didn't expect Brother Feng was not at home."

Ding Pingting immediately asked, "Cousin helped you? What did he do?"

This time Xu Muhua did not answer her, but just looked at her with a smile.

Ding Pingting's expression froze for a moment when she met her gaze, and then she immediately acted as if nothing had happened, pursed her lips and smiled, with a small dimple on her cheek, looking extremely cute and naive.

It's just that what she did didn't match her appearance.

Xu Muhua thought with some regret.

It's a pity to have such a face, with a different appearance.

"Sister Muhua, do you think I'm asking too many questions? I don't mean anything else, I just care about my cousin. You know, the Feng family is a noble family in the capital, and my cousin is young, handsome, talented, and clean. I don't know how many families in the capital hope that my cousin will become their son-in-law."

As she said this, she suddenly smiled shyly, "If it weren't for my aunt saying that she wanted to find someone who knows my cousin well and is a good match, I'm afraid..."

Xu Muhua's mouth twitched.

You might as well just say that your aunt has taken a fancy to you and wants you to be her daughter-in-law. There's no need to beat around the bush.

Xu Mu also felt that this cousin probably hoped that she could say something flattering, such as saying: I think you and Brother Feng are a good match, and you are cousins, which is a close relationship...

But she refused to say it!

Firstly, her relationship with Mr. Feng was not so familiar that she could make comments on his life. Secondly, this cousin treated her as a love rival without any reason, and she was very unhappy to let her sit here and listen to her words.

Since she was unhappy, this cousin would not be happy either!

"Yes, Brother Feng is a very good person, and his future wife must be a very good person! I think even the princess in the palace is worthy of him! The ladies of ordinary families are not worthy of Brother Feng! At least... well, at least she has to be the legitimate daughter of a first-rank official!"

Ding Pingting's expression froze, and her hand holding the handkerchief tightened.

First-rank official!

Her father was only a fifth-rank official, and her best identity was just the cousin of the Feng family. If her aunt hadn't taken pity on her for losing her mother when she was young and was worried that she would be bullied by her stepmother, and hadn't taken her to the Feng Mansion to be taken care of, she probably wouldn't even have had the chance to get close to her cousin!

Ding Pingting was a little unhappy, but when she thought of Xu Muhua's background, she instantly became proud.

At the very least, her father was an official, unlike Xu Muhua, who was an orphan and a bastard! She was lucky enough to be adopted by the Chengguo Mansion, otherwise she would have been a country girl!

"Yes, sister Muhua is right. The one who is worthy of my cousin must be a lady from a first-class family, and must be a legitimate daughter. Those from side branches or adopted ones are definitely not worthy of my cousin! My aunt will definitely not agree!"

After saying that, he seemed to realize something, and pretended to cover his mouth, blinked his eyes, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, sister Muhua, I'm not talking about you, I just..."

Xu Muhua didn't care, "It's okay, I know you are not Talk about me. Although I was adopted, I am at least listed in the family tree, and I am the legitimate eldest daughter of the Chengguo Mansion. I am different from those who are borrowing to live in other people's homes!"

Ding Pingting frowned: "Sister Muhua, are you talking about me?"

Now it was Xu Muhua's turn to cover her mouth pretendingly, "Oh, sorry, cousin, I absolutely didn't mean that. I just said it casually, not referring to you, really, don't think too much!"

Ding Pingting almost died of anger!

She has been in the Feng Mansion for so many years, and she is nominally a cousin, but there are no girls in the Feng Mansion. She is actually like a legitimate daughter of the Feng Mansion.

She has never been so angry! Her eyes immediately turned red and tears fell down.

Before Xu Muhua could marvel at her ability to cry so easily, the maidservant called out first.

"Miss Xu, what do you mean? My lady kindly invited you in for tea, why are you bullying my lady? Is it because my lady is not a proper lady of the Feng Mansion, but just a cousin, that you look down on her like this?"

Xu Muhua was shocked!

When the maidservant yelled like this, other servants in the yard also heard it. Someone immediately ran to find the mistress.

Xu Muhua frowned, deeply suspecting that this was the purpose of the cousin inviting her into the mansion for tea!

Isn't this too perverted?

She really has nothing to do with Brother Feng!

Xu Muhua didn't know that she happened to go out of the city to Xuanqing Mountain to look for someone two days ago and ran into Feng Shaoqing. Feng Shaoqing accompanied her for her safety. Ding Pingting had known about this a long time ago!

Feng Shaoqing never gets too close to the opposite sex, and he is always more distant than close to his dear cousin.

Now that Ding Pingting knows that he accompanied Xu Muhua out of the city, she is of course nervous! She immediately regards Xu Muhua as her number one love rival and wants to get rid of him as soon as possible!
