Chapter 70 It seems that Xu Muhua is the biological child
When Xu Jinyu chased out, she didn't catch up with Xu's mother. After thinking about it, she retreated back and waited in the tent.
The person she was waiting for hadn't come back yet. Xu Nan, who heard the news, came back and asked anxiously as soon as she came in: "Where is the eldest sister? I heard that the eldest sister was bullied by Princess Qingning? Second sister, why didn't you help the eldest sister!"
Xu Jinyu was unhappy when she heard this, "How can I help the eldest sister? That's Princess Qingning! Who dares to offend her? The eldest sister has already offended her. If I offend her again, won't both sisters suffer? Have you thought about your mother's feelings? I also want to help the eldest sister, but how can I help?"
Even the princess has to give in to Princess Qingning, not to mention her, a little daughter of a duke.
My father and elder brother have been at the border for many years and rarely return to the capital. They have no status or power in the capital. The title of Duke is just a nice title. What's the good of it? It's not as good as a third-rank official in the court!
How dare she offend Princess Qingning when their family is in such a situation?
"But, but you can't just watch your elder sister being bullied!"
Xu Nan knew that what she said made sense, but could she just watch her sister being bullied and hide aside?
Xu Jinyu said angrily: "Anan, do you have to watch me and my elder sister being bullied by Princess Qingning before you think it's right?"
Xu Nan was choked by her words and said hesitantly: "That's not the case..."
Both of them are his sisters, and he certainly doesn't want to see either of them being bullied by others.
"Forget it, I'll go out to find my mother!"
Xu Nan rushed out in a hurry and bumped into Xu Muhua who was about to come in!
Xu Muhua was knocked back several steps by him and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Shi Liu and Wu Er who heard the noise and rushed over supported him.
Xu's mother took a closer look and immediately scolded, "What are you doing?"
Xu Nan shouted happily, "Mom, elder sister, you are back! I was just about to look for you!"
He strode to Xu Muhua and asked worriedly, "Elder sister, I heard everything. You were not bullied, were you?"
Xu Muhua thought to herself, how many times has she heard this sentence today?
"No! I'm fine. Look, the emperor has also rewarded us with so many delicious foods. We will have a feast tonight! An Nan, tell me how you want to eat, and elder sister will make it for you personally!"
Xu Muhua said excitedly, with all her mind on the basket of meat.
"Ah?"
Xu Nan's mind was stuck for a moment, and she didn't turn around in time.
Didn't the eldest sister get forced by Princess Kang to stay behind to take care of the injured Princess Qingning? Why did she come back with the emperor's reward now?
Xu Jinyu, who followed closely, was also stunned for a moment, and his eyes fell on the two little eunuchs subconsciously.
"Just put the things here, thank you for your hard work."
Mother Xu pointed to the side and winked at the maid beside her.
The maid sensibly handed over two small purses, and the two little eunuchs left with smiles on their faces.
Xu Muhua instructed on the side: "Shi Liu, Wu'er, go find someone to deal with these ingredients, and then ask them to prepare some charcoal, and..."
She rattled off a list of things to be prepared, and Shi Liu almost didn't remember them!
After giving the order, she took Xu's mother's hand and said happily: "Mom, I will let you taste my cooking skills tonight!"
Seeing that she was not affected by Princess Qingning, Xu's mother was also happy. As for other things, it would be the same to ask later.
Since the emperor has given the reward, it means that he will not pursue the matter between Mu Hua and Princess Qingning anymore.
"Okay, okay, I'll try your cooking skills. You look so proud now. Don't slap yourself in the face!"
"Mom, how can you look down on me like that! I promise you'll have an unforgettable aftertaste!"
Xu Nan shouted unwillingly, "Sister, there's me, there's me, too, I want to eat it too!"
Xu Muhua reached out and pinched his cheek, "Sister will certainly not forget you."
Xu Jinyu stood not far behind them and watched. They were obviously a family, but why did she always feel that she was excluded, as if she was the adopted one and Xu Muhua was the biological one.
She walked over and said guiltily, "Sister, I'm sorry, I... I didn't stand up to help you at Princess Kang's place before..."
Xu Muhua really didn't blame her for this. On the contrary, she understood that under the circumstances at that time, Xu Jinyu was right to protect herself. Even if she stood up to speak for her, it would not change anything, but would put herself in trouble.
"Don't think about it, you are right. Princess Qingning and Princess Kang are just like lunatics, they are completely unreasonable. If you stand up, you will only suffer and be made difficult."
"But Sister Pei..."
Xu Muhua was silent for a while. She really couldn't tell her that Pei Shaorong was the heroine. No matter what happened, she would turn danger into safety. Others couldn't compare with her.
But her silence made Xu Jinyu misunderstand, and their hands unconsciously intertwined.
"Arong... you can't compare with her, she... she will be fine no matter what, but you are different. Anyway, don't think too much, no one will blame you for this, and you haven't done anything wrong."
Xu Muhua could only comfort her like this.
In fact, Xu's mother and Xu Nan never blamed her, and they understood that just like Xu Muhua said, she couldn't do anything at all, and the most important thing was to protect herself. It doesn't mean that you have to go through things together to have true feelings and to be caring.
Hearing these words, Xu Jinyu should have felt happy, but she just couldn't be happy!
She forced a smile, "I hope you don't blame me."
"No, no, I really don't blame you!"
She is not that narrow-minded, she is not that perverted!
"Anan, let's go prepare the barbecue for tonight!"
She dragged Xu Nan and ran away.
As for Xu Jinyu, it was not that Xu Muhua deliberately left her out, but according to the original owner's memory, Xu Jinyu never liked to do anything other than playing chess, calligraphy and painting with the original owner. It seemed that she was very disgusted with it. After so many times, the original owner knew better and stopped dragging her along.
Not to mention that Xu Muhua already suspected that there was something abnormal about her, so he would not drag her to do something intimate.
"Jinyu, aren't you going?"
Xu's mother asked. She felt that her younger daughter was too quiet and not as lively as her older daughter.
Xu Jinyu shook her head and said, "I won't go. I don't understand. If I go, I might even make things worse."
