Yan Xi looked up at him, and Mu Beichen quickly lowered his eyes, not daring to look him in the eye. His heart was pounding, and he felt both nervous and guilty.
Seeing this, Yan Xi looked away. Facing Jiang Yunhe's cordial invitation, he smiled politely and said, "Thank you for your invitation, but I've been busy these days and may not be able to make time. I'll find a chance to visit my aunt another day."
As for which day, he didn't know.
Jiang Yunhe's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "Okay! I'll wait for you! Then I'll go first, see you another day."
The little girl walked away briskly, looking back every few steps, and each time she looked back, she was smiling.
As Yan Xi watched, the strange feeling in his heart became more and more severe.
Why does the heroine's reaction seem a bit like... being in love?
Thinking of Jiang Yunhe's reaction to him, Yan Xi's heart skipped a beat and he exclaimed, "Oh my god!"
Apart from the narcissistic element, he had some suspicion that Jiang Yunhe...had taken a fancy to him.
No way, no way? Is this so ridiculous?
Yan Xi swallowed, a little frightened.
No, I still have to keep some distance from her in the future.
Yan Xi was immersed in shock, but in Mu Beichen's eyes, it seemed that he was looking at Jiang Yunhe, reluctant to leave and unwilling to look away.
The irritability and anxiety accumulated in his heart, almost drowning him.
After spring plowing, everyone can finally take a break.
At this time, the village chief's son was getting married to a beautiful girl from the neighboring village.
There was a big happy event in the village and everyone went to celebrate, so it was very lively for a while.
Jiang Yunhe was no exception and came to congratulate with gifts.
When she went there, she found a group of strangers in the village.
The middle-aged man in the lead had a handsome appearance and was dressed luxuriously. He was surrounded by guards in black clothes and had gifts in his hands.
As soon as they arrived, the village chief bowed and greeted them with a smile, and quickly invited them in.
The villagers present were all whispering, discussing this person's background.
"Who is that man? He looks quite important. Judging from the clothes he's wearing, could he be a high-ranking official from the capital?"
"Is it possible that a relative of the village chief is coming to the wedding?"
"That's impossible. We've lived in the village for so long, don't we know what the village chief's family situation is? The highest official his ancestors ever held was a county magistrate. It's impossible for them to have held an official position in Beijing."
"That's strange..."
Listening to everyone's discussions, Jiang Yunhe secretly looked at their clothes.
She used to love history class the most and would go to museums in her spare time. Her best friend was a Hanfu enthusiast, and if she was not mistaken, the clothes on the middle-aged man were made of brocade.
Most people can’t afford this, nor do they have the status to wear it.
It is possible that he is really a high-ranking official from the capital.
Everyone in the front hall was speculating. The village chief was afraid of neglecting this lord, so he was a little nervous and didn't dare to look him in the eye. "I wonder if Lord Yu has suddenly come here. What do you want me to do?"
Yu Zhiyi took a sip of tea, looked up at him, and said calmly, "I came here for only one reason: to find my son who has been missing for sixteen years. Before coming here, I had already found out that he was Mu Yanxi, the adopted son of the Mu family in Wenfeng Village. However, I discovered that he had not been in this village for a year. I heard that you ordered him to leave."
Upon hearing this, the village chief felt a chill run down his spine. His legs softened, and he sank to his knees, his lips pale. "Master Yu, please spare me. I didn't know he was your son, so... at that time, Mu... your son adopted the monster that everyone in the village hated. The villagers were afraid and wanted your son to drive him away, but your son refused. Your son, Liu, didn't say anything else, but not long after, your son and that little monster disappeared, and we don't know where they went."
As if thinking of something, he quickly looked up and said, "Oh right, after they left, the Mu family's yard disappeared too, and the Mu family's fields are still being cultivated. Everyone thinks they are still here, but we don't know where they live. If you are looking for your son, I will take people to look for him immediately."
Yu Zhiyi just wanted to trick him, but seeing that his expression was sincere and didn't seem fake, he felt relieved. "Get up, there's no need to alarm the villagers about this matter. I will make the decision myself."
"Yes, thank you very much, sir!" The village chief stood up quickly, still feeling frightened.
But when I thought of Mu Yanxi being with that nemesis, my heart started pounding.
If Mu Yanxi was killed by him, this... shouldn't be blamed on him, right?
For convenience, the village chief arranged accommodation for them.
Yu Zhiyi did not refuse and stayed there.
Yu Zhiyi didn't want to alarm the villagers, but he couldn't stand the gossips of the village chief's family.
Word spread quickly, and soon the whole village knew about it.
Those who had thrown things at Mu Yanxi's house and insulted him began to feel nervous, fearing that they would get into trouble.
Jiang Yunhe was shocked when he learned about this.
Yan Xi's biological father turned out to be a high-ranking official in Beijing with a prominent background.
Then isn't he a real nobleman?
Thinking of Yan Xi's noble temperament and unparalleled handsome face, she suddenly felt not surprised.
Jiang Yunhe was just preparing to find an opportunity to go to the valley to tell Yan Xi about this matter, but who knew that the high-ranking official came to the door with his men.
