"I dare not drink."
"Don't want to drink?" He raised his eyebrows, and the dagger flew out, brushing against Li Yan's cheek, scaring Li Yan so much that she collapsed to the ground.
"If today wasn't Grandpa's birthday party, you wouldn't have the chance to talk to me here."
"drink!"
His voice was soft, yet chilling.
Li Yan held the wine glass with tears in her eyes, tilted her head back and drank the wine. As soon as it entered her mouth, a centipede crawled in her mouth, making her feel uncomfortable.
"vomit!"
She wanted to vomit.
Mu Qianchen said coldly: "You dare to vomit? Don't you give me face?"
A foul and disgusting taste was stuck in her mouth, and Li Yan swallowed it hard.
Li Yan felt like a centipede was crawling in her stomach, her body was trembling, she wiped her tears and ran away.
The room was silent.
Everyone watched this scene quietly, not daring to breathe.
Lu Jiajia's face turned pale. She reached out and tugged at Gu Yunran's sleeve, "Fourth sister-in-law, I heard that you and Master Mu have been childhood sweethearts. If you introduce him to me, he shouldn't make things difficult for me, right?"
Gu Yunran said with a cold face: "You'd better not provoke him."
Mu Qianchen is moody and she doesn't want to get into trouble with him.
Lu Qingzhou was unwilling to do so. "Yun Ran, Jia Jia finally fell in love with a man, and you didn't even help her. How unkind!"
Gu Yunran frowned: "You saw it just now, are you willing to let Jiajia get into trouble?"
Although Lu Jiajia was very scared, she didn't feel any fear when she saw Mu Qianchen's face that brought disaster to everyone. She mustered up the courage to say, "Fourth sister-in-law, I believe I am special to Lord Mu."
Gu Yunran curled the corners of his mouth. Lu Jiajia had no other advantages, but she was really confident.
She said, "Okay, I'll help you."
After Li Yan ran away, Mu Qianchen said a few polite words and left. Lu Jiajia was anxious and pushed Gu Yunran: "Fourth sister-in-law, he's gone."
Gu Yunran took a deep breath. Mu Qianchen had a changeable personality and she was not sure.
But she still chased after him with Lu Jiajia and shouted, "Master Mu, wait a moment."
Hearing the familiar voice, Mu Qianchen stopped, turned around, and looked at Gu Yunran with a smile, "You..." Miss me? Before he could say it, he saw Lu Jiajia behind Gu Yunran.
He frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter?"
Gu Yunran took a deep breath, pushed Lu Jiajia in front of Mu Qianchen, and said, "This is my fifth sister, Lu Jiajia. She wants to meet you."
Lu Jiajia bowed to Mu Qianchen in what she thought was the most standard gesture, and said with a smile, "Master Mu, I am Lu Jiajia."
She looked up at Mu Qianchen, then quickly lowered her head, her face flushed red with nervousness and excitement.
Mu Qianchen narrowed his eyes and thought of some of Lu Qingzhou's recent actions. He instantly understood and suddenly curled his lips in a playful smile.
"Okay, let's talk inside."
Mu Qianchen pointed to a room not far away, which was a side hall and a place for him to rest.
Lu Jiajia pursed her lips. Thinking of something she had recently read in a book, her heart was excited and she agreed without thinking.
"good."
Mu Qianchen walked in front, and Lu Jiajia followed behind, taking small steps like a shy young wife.
Gu Yunran was in a trance for a moment.
Did he agree?
And took Lu Jiajia to his private side room?
Somehow, Gu Yunran felt a tightness in her chest, but Lu Qingzhou was extremely happy. "It seems that Master Mu is very interested in my fifth sister."
"From now on, our Lu Mansion and the Shogunate will become even closer."
He clenched his fists excitedly and pulled Lord Mu into their camp. They would definitely succeed.
"Yun Ran, thank you!"
Lu Qingzhou wanted to hold Gu Yunran in his arms, but because they were in public, he controlled his impulse.
He whispered in Gu Yunran's ear, "When we get back to the Lu Mansion, I will treat you well."
Gu Yunran glanced at him, shook off his hand, and said indifferently: "Fourth Master, it's time to take your seat."
After she finished speaking, she walked straight to her seat and sat down. Yuling waited on her side. Suddenly, Yuling covered her stomach and said, "Madam, I think I have an upset stomach. My stomach hurts so much that I need to go to the toilet."
Gu Yunran: "Go ahead."
"Why."
Yuling clutched her stomach and was about to turn around when Gu Yunran warned her, "Don't run around."
"Yes, ma'am."
The guests had already taken their seats, the servants were serving the dishes, and everyone was chatting away. Gu Yunran often stayed at home, so after chatting for a few minutes, she would just sit quietly and eat a little.
“Ouch!”
Nanny Li spilled the golden jade soup all over Gu Yunran. She wiped it with a handkerchief and said apologetically, "Madam Lu, I'm so sorry. I didn't hold it steady for a moment."
"fine."
Gu Yunran didn't want to blame him, so she took a handkerchief and started wiping it together.
Madam Li said, "I'm afraid this dress is no longer wearable. Madam Lu, we have some clothes for the ladies in our house. If you don't mind, I'll take you there to change into one."
A bowl of soup spilled all over her body, and she really couldn't wear it anymore. Gu Yunran didn't think much about it. She said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Madam."
"Mrs. Lu, you're too polite."
Nanny Li gave the soup bowl to the maid and ordered her to clean up the soup on the floor. She took Gu Yunran to the side hall to change clothes.
Walking out of the reception garden and passing through a screen, Nanny Li took Gu Yunran into the side hall, where they happened to meet Princess Pingyang.
Gu Yunran's eyebrows jumped. She could meet Princess Pingyang even if she changed her clothes. Thinking of the last time she was at the Zheng family, she always felt a little uneasy.
