After wiping Mu Tiantian's body, Bena helped her to the bedroom.
There are many formal dresses prepared in the wardrobe.
"These were all prepared by Duke Neu for your wife. Tomorrow is the court banquet, and Duke Neu asked me to wait for your wife to wake up so we can help you try them on."
As she spoke, Bena helped Mu Tiantian put on her dress.
Wearing court dresses usually requires a cinched waist, but Mu Tiantian's waist is so slender that she doesn't need one at all.
These dresses all fit perfectly.
Beanna said enviously, "Madam has a great figure and doesn't need a corset at all."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a knock sounded on the door.
After putting on her dress, Mu Tiantian prepared to open the door.
Beanna was one step ahead of her.
When the door opened, Blain saw Mu Tiantian inside, dressed in a magnificent and elegant court dress.
She resembles a gentle and serene princess, yet remains unattainable.
Mu Tiantian walked up to him and asked, "Is there something you need, Blaine?"
Seeing that Blaine was lost in thought, Beanna nudged him with her elbow. "Brother, the lady is asking you a question."
Blain snapped out of his daze, his cheeks flushing. "I...I just...Noy said he went to pick up Grandpa Mu from the hospital...he'll be back later."
Mu Tiantian opened her mouth, about to say "okay," when Blain fled in panic.
Beanna naturally wondered why Bryant was acting this way.
My brother used to tell her whenever he came home that he had met a very kind human girl who had saved him.
He liked her very much, but he didn't know if she would mind that he was a mermaid.
So after a year or two, he went back to land, wanting to find her.
Although her brother never told her the girl's name, she had heard him describe her.
The moment she first saw Mu Tiantian, she instinctively knew that Mu Tiantian was the girl her brother had been talking about.
only...
Beanna sighed, then smiled at Mu Tiantian and said, "Madam, my brother might be... not quite... normal lately, please don't mind."
She made up a reason, and she didn't know if the lady would believe it.
Mu Tiantian smiled and said, "It's nothing."
Perhaps, reducing contact is really the best approach...
...
Nuoyi went to pick up Muxian from the hospital, with Luya by his side.
Mu Xian used the excuse that he had something to say to Nuoyi to let Luya ride in a car alone.
Seeing that Noy was there, Luya had no choice but to reply, "Okay."
She watched the two get into Noe's car, then lowered her eyes in thought.
Mu Shaocheng was arrested, and evidence from so many years ago could be found. She thought that apart from the King or Noy, no one else had the ability to do so.
If that's the case, her identity might have already been exposed, and she needs to find a way to protect herself.
In the car, Anlu helped Muxian sit opposite him.
"Duke Neui, were you the same Mr. Hai who sent me letters a couple of days ago and more than two years ago?" Mu Xian asked.
About two and a half years ago, a man named Mr. Hai sent him a letter saying that he had a granddaughter, born to his eldest son Mu Shaojun, who was still alive.
The letter included a portrait of her; she was the daughter of Mu Shaojun and the woman who saved him after he fell into the sea.
At that time, Mu Shaojun fell into the sea and his body was never found. Mu Xian thought he was dead. After seeing the letter, he first sent people to search for Mu Shaojun's whereabouts. Since he had a child, he must still be alive.
But what they found was his remains. However, the locals said he did have a daughter named Mu Tiantian.
After that, Mu Xian began to place advertisements in the newspaper to search for him.
He had only found her a few months ago, but at that time Alec had placed a reward notice in the newspaper, and he had also heard that Noy was secretly looking for her.
He thought that she might have offended both of them, so he kept it a secret and continued to send people to search for her.
Not long after, she said that Duke Alec had rescued her from the slave market, and that they were in love and wanted to get engaged.
He had asked Alec why he had put a reward on Tian Tian.
Alec said it was because she had gone missing, and he was very worried. This was the only way to find her quickly.
Although Mu Xian had suspicions, he couldn't find any loopholes.
Noy replied, "It's me."
He did this simply to find Mu Tiantian quickly, as more people searching would create more opportunities.
However, he did not expect that Mu Xian had been found but not announced, and instead continued to create the illusion of searching for Mu Tiantian.
So he didn't know someone would impersonate her.
Now that he knows about Raine's plan, he is prepared to settle things at the court banquet.
Mu Xian recalled what he had mentioned in the letter, "Duke Neui, you said that my current granddaughter, Mu Tiantian, is fake? And that she's a mermaid named Luya? What's going on?"
Noy took out a sharp knife.
Mu Xian was startled and instinctively backed away.
Anru exclaimed in alarm, protecting him, "Duke Neu, what are you doing?"
“As long as you scratch Luya, she will show her mermaid features. Then you will know whether I am telling the truth or not. If she reveals her true form, you can kill her.”
Noy held the blade and handed the hilt to Mu Xian, saying, "I think you don't want your property to fall into the hands of that merman posing as a duke."
Mu Xian values the family business left to him by his ancestors very much, and he does not want the business to be destroyed in his hands.
If there is no suitable heir, he would rather donate it, erect a monument, and leave a good name for the Mu family.
Therefore, Mu Xian will try it as Nuo Yi said, no matter what.
"You said in your letter that you would let me see my real granddaughter. I want to know when?"
"After the court banquet ended," Noy said, taking out a blood-red pearl. Sunlight streamed through the car window, illuminating the pearl, which gradually turned blue.
He gave the blood pearl to Mu Xian, saying, "Keep this with you; it will protect you if you are in any danger."
Mu Xian was always Mu Tiantian's only family in this world.
At the very least, he didn't want Mu Xian to lose his life because of his plan.
...
night.
Noy returned to the Duke's mansion.
Mu Tiantian baked cookies and made some snacks.
When Nidabray and the other man saw him return, they quickly put down the dried mangoes they were holding and stood ten meters away from the table.
Benana was a little slow to react, stuffing two cookies into her mouth before standing next to Blaine.
Mu Tiantian: "......"
Is her son Noi really that scary?
Mu Tiantian pulled Nuoyi to sit at the table. "These are the snacks I made today. Do you like them?"
"I like it." He likes everything as long as she's there.
She waved to the three of them, "You three come and eat with us."
Nida and Blain hesitated, and seeing that the two were not moving, Beanna did not dare to make any other moves.
Mu Tiantian heard Nida say that Noi doesn't like other people getting too close to him and would find it very offensive.
This is similar to what Ryan did, but as long as he doesn't have a physical aversion to it, everything is fine.
"Noyi, let them come and eat together, I like a lively atmosphere," Mu Tiantian said coquettishly.
Noi was a little confused, but subconsciously agreed, "Okay."
"You're so sweet." Mu Tiantian kissed his cheek again.
She showed her love for him without reservation.
System: [Noy's hatred level decreased by 5, currently at 25.]
Noi couldn't help but smile.
Nida stared wide-eyed at Noe's expression.
The owner's smile is...so silly...
