Chapter 81 Stunning
The scarlet embroidered shoes stepped over the threshold and disappeared in a flash among the purple skirts.
Then a bright and pretty figure jumped into people's eyes.
Everyone in the room couldn't hide their amazement.
The girl has white teeth and starry eyes, a pair of watery eyes that look at you affectionately, an exquisite figure, and light steps, which highlight her slender waist, which sways like a willow, making her lovable.
It instantly caught everyone's attention, making Jiang Ruoxi and Gu Wanru, who were dressed in their best clothes, look dim.
Gu Wanru always knew that her half-sister was so beautiful that she could never catch up with her.
But I have never seen her dressed luxuriously. This style not only makes her look more like a legitimate noble lady, but also makes her even more beautiful.
Even the old lady's eyes lit up. Having seen countless beauties, this was the first time she felt she couldn't take her eyes away.
However, he soon returned to his silly smile.
Gu Huan looked directly in the direction where the sense of oppression was strongest, and met someone's ambiguous gaze.
Mu Junyan frowned slightly. He asked her to dress more solemnly, but why did she look even more gorgeous?
Could it be because of...the two young men?
His eyes fell on the magnolia hairpin in her hair, and he was very satisfied with it.
Then, looking at her expression with a hint of resentment that I inadvertently noticed, I wondered if I didn't let her sleep enough last night?
Is she still feeling wronged?
He remained calm and helped the old lady sit down.
Gu Huan felt a little uncomfortable when she saw the people in the room, so she walked straight towards the old lady who was smiling and waving at her, without even having the time to salute.
He was stopped by Gu Wanru.
She gritted her teeth, but tried to act like the eldest sister, pulling her back and blaming her.
"Why are you so slow, second sister? Father asked you to come meet the distinguished guest, but you are so slow. Why don't you apologize to the county lady?"
Gu Huan glanced at her.
I really don’t understand why I died at the hands of such a stupid person like Gu Wanru in my previous life?
Uh, does that mean she's dumber?
Jiang Ruoxi immediately took over the conversation and said sarcastically, "She turned out to be the concubine sister of my sister-in-law's family, who was born in a merchant family. I was wondering which princess she was, but the old lady praised her like a fairy."
Her words deliberately belittled Gu Huan's status.
No matter how beautiful she is, at worst, after she marries in, I will reward the little witch with the status of a concubine.
With a humble background, how could she be qualified to compete with the county lady for her husband!
Mu Feng spoke subconsciously: "Sister Huan is like a fairy, who says only princesses and duchesses are like fairies?"
After saying this, I realized that it was not a good idea to say this in public.
His pale face suddenly turned as red as a ripe apple and he looked at the beauty in panic.
Gu Huan didn't expect that he would help her in public, and couldn't help but glance at him.
When Mu Feng saw the beautiful woman's grateful look, his back straightened immediately. He didn't care about his flushed face anymore and nodded vigorously at her to encourage her.
Mu Junyan's eyes suddenly turned cold, he lowered his eyelids, and rubbed his back slowly with his fingers.
It is indeed easy for young boys and girls, who are in love for the first time, to make eye contact.
Is she trying to find a way out for herself?
Gu Huan would not have too much interaction with a strange man in public, especially since Mu Junyan was present.
Then she retracted her gaze and whispered, "Sister, I need to greet the old lady first."
Gu Wanru then realized what was happening and looked down at her hand, then let go with a grim look on her face.
Gu Huan walked towards the old lady and bowed with a smile: "Old lady, your name is Huan'er?"
"Little fairy, come here quickly."
The old lady waved to her happily.
Gu Huan obediently lifted her skirt and walked forward, placing her hand in the old lady's palm.
The old lady held her hand with one hand and pointed at the Jade Guanyin carried by two maids with the other hand: "Hurry up and worship the Guanyin who will give you a child."
Gu Huan almost choked on her saliva.
Let her pray to Guanyin for a child in public?
She quickly looked at Mu Junyan, looking for help, but he didn't look at her.
How can she step down?
Gu Huan's eyes drifted, and suddenly met Jiang Ruoxi's resentful eyes, and then looked at her left cheek.
Hey, were you beaten?
Jiang Ruoxi immediately turned her face away, avoiding her sight, but could not help but say, "Madam, this is the Guanyin that Xier went to the Wanfo Temple to pray for. It is to bless you with good health. Not everyone can worship it."
The old lady was overjoyed, but her smile froze when she heard this: "Ah, what's the point of having a jade Buddha if people are not allowed to worship it? Take it away, and I will take the fairy Huan'er to the Wanfo Temple to burn incense and pray for a child myself."
Jiang Ruoxi was so angry, but she couldn't vent her anger. Her face turned red and the marks from the slap became clearer and clearer.
Seeing this, Gu Wanru hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Grandmother, the county lady is mother's biological sister, how can you not accept the birthday gift she gave you?"
The old lady frowned and glared at her: "Who are you?"
Gu Wanru froze. She couldn't lose her temper in front of so many people.
I had to smile and say, "Grandma, I am your grandson's daughter-in-law."
As she spoke, she reached out to the old lady's arm, wanting to show affection, but she was frightened, fearing that she would be beaten again.
That look was really embarrassing to watch.
Unexpectedly, the old lady waved her hand like she was shooing away a fly and said, "My son hasn't married yet, so where can I get a wife for my grandson?"
Mu An and Gu Wanru's faces changed drastically.
Mu Yong and Mu Feng looked at each other.
The whole room was silent, no one dared to say a word.
Cough cough.
Mu Junyan coughed twice and said, "Second Miss Gu, you and Yi Niang should take the old lady in. She must be hungry."
"yes."
Gu Huan and Yi Niang supported the old lady on the left and right, and left in a mighty manner with a large group of servants.
"You four should go and accompany them."
Mu Silang and Mu Liulang hurriedly followed.
Gu Wanru, with red eyes, bowed to Mu An and also retreated.
Mu Junyan turned to Jiang Ruoxi, who was about to cry out of grievance, and said in a calm and emotionless voice: "County Lady. My mother has been suffering from dementia for a long time. She doesn't even know what she said. If it makes you uncomfortable, please don't blame me."
Jiang Ruoxi couldn't help but shed tears, and called softly and tenderly: "Brother-in-law, Ruoxi certainly doesn't dare to blame the old lady. Ruoxi likes you, and the old lady will be Ruoxi's mother-in-law in the future..."
"Of course I have to accept the county lady's gift. I have to accompany my mother for dinner, so I won't accompany the county lady. Dong Mo, take it. Zhou Chunyu, see the county lady off."
Mu Junyan seemed not to hear her words. He turned his head and gave instructions to Dong Mohe Zhou Chunyu who was standing not far away. After he finished speaking, he was too lazy to continue and turned around and left.
In the huge hall, only Jiang Ruoxi and the few people she brought with her were left, as the host family had all left.
She was so angry that she burst into tears, stamped her feet and ran away crying.
Zhou Chunyu hurriedly ran out of the door and shouted, "County Lady, please slow down. Be careful not to trip."
Seeing her rushing out with others, Zhou Chunyu instantly lost his concerned expression and spat at her back.
"You don't even know your own weight, and you dare to covet my master."
At the family dinner, everyone had a different expression.
Mu Feng and Mu Yong didn't dare to talk nonsense. They tried their best to tell jokes and interesting stories about Beijing.
Gu Huan and Zhou Zhilan sat next to the old lady, one on each side, smiling happily and trying to make her happy.
The old lady laughed happily.
Gu Wanru and Mu An sat stiffly at the table, totally unable to fit in.
When Mu Junyan walked in, he saw his mother laughing so hard that she was bent over, and his heart felt warm.
Over the years, the one who has worked the hardest is my mother.
While she was stationed in Bian Jing, controlling information from the rear for him, she was also a hostage under the noses of the emperor and his mother, pretending to be crazy to confuse those who had ulterior motives.
He knew very well that his mother's attitude towards Jiang Ruoxi today was actually for someone in the palace to see.
As a mother, what I hate most is someone using my son’s marriage as a tool to fight for power.
Although Zhou Zhilan and the others tried their best, they were servants after all, and my mother was wary of everyone.
He would feel more at ease if she had someone who understood her and cared about her by her side.
Mu Junyan's gaze fell on the girl's smiling face. It was rare for her to smile so happily.
Mu Feng, who was sitting opposite her, stared at her intently, not hiding his excitement as a young man in love.
"Father." Mu An suddenly stood up with a very unhappy look on his face.
Mu Junyan glanced at him and said, "Have your meal first, and we'll talk after you finish eating."
When Gu Huan saw him coming, she quickly stood up to make room for him, but he waved at her and asked her to sit down.
He walked straight to the empty chair next to Gu Huan and sat down.
Gu Huan suddenly became nervous, her smile disappeared, and she sat up straight.
The Mu Feng brothers quickly stopped laughing and waited obediently for their master to speak.
Mu Junyan wanted to make his mother happy, so he rushed back to celebrate her 50th birthday. However, he was disturbed by irrelevant people and felt unhappy.
The air pressure is extremely low all around.
Gu Huan was so nervous that her palms were sweating.
