Princess Pingyang blinked and looked at Mu Qianxue for a long time. She felt that she looked very familiar, but she couldn't remember who she was. She frowned slightly and said, "I want this headdress."
Mu Qianxue didn't let go, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, this is my second sister-in-law's favorite headpiece, I can't give it to you."
Princess Pingyang glared and asked, "Who is your second sister-in-law?"
"My second brother is Mu Qianchen, and my second sister-in-law is naturally... the eldest daughter of the Gu family." Mu Qianxue handed the head ornaments to the female shopkeeper and said softly, "Please put them in the dressing box."
The female shopkeeper nodded in agreement, then turned around and placed the gold and silver filigree headpiece chosen by Mu Qianxue into the dressing box, and then handed it to Mu Qianxue.
After Mu Qianxue left, Princess Pingyang was still standing there in a daze until the maid beside her called her and she came to her senses.
"Walk."
Princess Pingyang rarely left the palace, and today she was even more disguised. Few people recognized her. After leaving the shop, she watched the Mu family's carriage drive away, biting her lip and saying, "I remember now. That bitch was the second daughter of the Mu family. She used to bully me when we were little. But later I heard that she was in poor health and was sent away by the Mu family. I didn't expect she would come back."
"And you snatched the headdress I liked to please Gu Yunran, humph!" Princess Pingyang snorted coldly, "It's true that people of the same family are alike. They are all disgusting people."
"What does the princess mean?" the maid beside her asked in a low voice.
"Find an opportunity to teach her a lesson." She paused and continued, "And that Gu Yunran, she stole my brother Chen away."
"I understand."
Princess Pingyang left with a feeling of indignation. Mu Qianxue sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked at her departing figure from afar, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
She had known for a long time that Princess Pingyang was in love with her second brother, but she probably didn't know that her second brother had already married Gu Yunran. Now that she knew, she didn't know what she would do.
The carriage was moving steadily, but because there was a thick layer of snow on the streets, the carriage was moving very slowly. It took a long time to reach the market that Su Xin mentioned.
"Second Miss, please slow down."
Su Xin jumped off the carriage first and reached out to hold Mu Qianxue's hand. Lian Xin took a wooden stool and placed it on the ground, letting Mu Qianxue step on it and slowly walk down.
When we walked into the market, we heard a lot of noisy sounds, including hawking, animals crying, and quarrels between customers and sellers.
Mu Qianxue frowned slightly. This was her first time in a place like this, and she felt a little uncomfortable. Su Xin kindly said, "Second Miss, please sit in the carriage while I go and choose."
"No, I'll choose it myself."
Mu Qianxue insisted on choosing it herself, so Su Xin said nothing more. She accompanied Mu Qianxue shopping for a long time, and finally they chose the same cat in a store.
"Boss, I want this cat."
"Okay."
The shopkeeper took a look at Mu Qianxue and felt that this girl was not only beautiful, but also well-dressed. She must be a lady from a wealthy family. So he found an exquisite box, put a thick cushion in it, carefully placed the cat in it, and handed it to Mu Qianxue.
"Miss, hold on tight."
Mu Qianxue nodded, and Su Xin took the bamboo basket. The shopkeeper also carefully covered the cat with another layer of mattress. The cat would look up from time to time and meow.
"Miss, it's too cold, let's go back."
"good."
Mu Qianxue walked back holding up her skirt, but she felt alert as she walked, as if someone was following her, but when she turned around, she could not see any figure.
"Second Miss, what's wrong?" Su Xin asked.
Mu Qianxue said: "I'm being followed."
Su Xin was surprised and a little scared at the same time, "Who would follow us?"
"I don't know." Mu Qianxue quickened her pace, lifting her skirt. She said to Su Xin, "Take the cat and get on the carriage."
"And you?"
"I'll go and distract them."
Su Xin was unwilling and gave the basket to Mu Qianxue, "Second Miss, I will lead them away, you go back first."
"No, I guess they're coming for me."
"But Second Miss, who did you offend when you just came back?" Su Xin was puzzled, and at the same time worried about Mu Qianxue.
Mu Qianxue pursed her lips and shook her head, then pushed Su Xin and ran in the other direction, lifting her skirt. She ran so fast that she accidentally slipped and fell to the ground.
In an alley, Mu Qianxue was surrounded by people.
"Are you still running?"
The leader was a bearded man. Mu Qianxue looked at him nervously, "You... I don't know you. I have no grudge against you. Why are you bullying me?"
The man stroked his beard and didn't answer Mu Qianxue. Instead, he asked without thinking, "Seeing you're riding in the Mu Mansion's carriage, you must be from the Mu Mansion. Then, do you know Gu Yunran?"
Mu Qianxue nodded: "She is my second sister-in-law."
"That's it." The man's face darkened, his eyes gleaming with viciousness. "Last year, I did grain and oil business with her and owed her some money. This cruel woman had everything in my shop stolen, causing me to lose my livelihood. It's freezing today, and I don't even have money to buy charcoal. My mother froze to death last night."
He sneered at this and looked at Mu Qianxue. "I was planning to seek revenge on her, but I didn't expect that she would remarry and move into the Mu Mansion. I haven't seen her leave the house for a few days, and today I saw the carriage from the Mu Mansion. Since you are a member of the Mu family, then Gu Yunran is also a member of your Mu family now. You should pay for the evil she did."
