Mu Hanyan, on the other hand, was the most relaxed and at ease, currently leisurely drinking tea and eating cakes under the grape trellis in the courtyard. She had even instructed Huayue and Zirong to go out and buy her some Li's dried fruits.
Huayue and Zirong knew that tomorrow was the day of the competition between Mu Hanyan and Mu Feng. After spending the past few days together, they had already developed a special feeling for Mu Hanyan, so they were worried about her at first. But seeing that Mu Hanyan was enjoying herself so well, they felt inexplicably relieved.
After buying things, the two met the chief guard at the gate of the city lord's mansion. When the chief guard saw them, his eyes lit up and he waved at them, signaling them to wait.
"Leader, what's the matter?" Zirong and Huayue stopped and asked after bowing.
"I say, you two, are you going to buy snacks for the young master?" The head guard asked, his mouth twitching, looking at the things the two men were carrying. He actually asked a personal guard to do such a thing! This dandy, truly a dandy! Is a personal guard the kind of person who would do such a thing? Isn't this something a servant can do? Such a waste of talent, such a dandy, too much, too much!
"Yes. The eldest master said it tastes good." Zirong nodded and said seriously, "I tried it and it tastes really good."
The corners of the guard leader's mouth twitched even more violently. The focus on appearance was wrong!
"It's already this late, and you still have the time to do these things. Don't you know that the eldest young master will compete with Young Master Mu Feng tomorrow?" The head guard said in a low voice.
"I see. So what's wrong?" Zirong took out a broad bean and put it in her mouth. It was so crunchy. She didn't feel embarrassed at all about stealing the eldest son's snack.
"What else is wrong? I think you two are good candidates. Are you really willing to follow the eldest young master?" The head guard's voice became even lower. "To tell you the truth, Master Mu Cheng came to me today and told me to tell you that if you are willing, you can follow him. Don't worry about the eldest young master, he will take care of it."
Zirong raised her eyebrows and laughed. Oh, here comes the poacher. The problem is, he's so unskilled! Are they treating them like fools or are they just stupid?
At first glance, the guard leader's words seemed to make sense. After all, tomorrow was the day for the duel between the dandy eldest son and Young Master Mu Feng. Anyone with any sense could predict the outcome: the dandy eldest son would lose miserably. Following the eldest son offered no future and would only lead to contempt. Now someone was offering an olive branch, which seemed like a good idea.
However, Huayue and Zirong were not normal people. One was stubborn, the other was incredibly mean, but they had one thing in common: once they committed to someone, they were loyal until death, and no one could change their decision.
Zirong was much more intelligent. They were the ones who had caused Mu Cheng's lover, Miss Zhao Si, to lose such a significant position, and Mu Cheng had come to poach her. What good would they gain by following Mu Cheng? I'm afraid Mu Cheng was trying to kill two birds with one stone. If he could poach them both, he could not only strike a blow against Mu Hanyan, but also keep them under his wing and do whatever he wanted with them, thus venting Miss Zhao Si's anger.
"No need." Hua Yue answered briefly, and walked straight past the head guard and went in.
"Hey, Huayue, wait a minute, kid!" The leader of the guards hurriedly called out to Huayue.
Hua Yue stood still, and slowly turned her head as if she was paralyzed, looking at the head guard without saying a word. But the impatience in her eyes was so obvious. The head guard felt a pang of pain in his liver. How could this kid be so ungrateful?
