Chapter 588: A Rumble in the Sky
Su Nuan's heart trembled. If this Mu Man was a reborn person, then she must know every step Ling Cang would take next.
And what will become of the North? Will it be a city consumed by war, or...
Although this was not the first time she had met someone who knew the future, the sharpness and certainty in this woman's eyes clearly showed that she had witnessed something with her own eyes.
Ling Cang also noticed that Mu Mian's eyes were too passionate, and he frowned slightly.
His scrutinizing gaze lingered on Mu Mian's face for a moment, and his tone was somewhat stiff and tentative: "Girl, have we met before?"
Su Nuan almost couldn't hold back her expression, as these words sounded like a clumsy pick-up line.
Mumian seemed to realize that she had lost her composure. She said shyly, "I have admired you for a long time."
Su Nuan widened her eyes. This girl is too straightforward. I really admire her.
Looking at Ling Cang again, he was stunned for a moment, then responded very politely, "Thank you, I admire my own as well."
Everyone: “…”
The atmosphere in the room became awkward and fell into an eerie silence.
Mu Man's expression froze on his face, and the heat in his eyes gradually cooled down, turning into a hint of embarrassment.
The old lady's rattan chair creaked slightly, and she broke the silence by saying, "Hurry up and eat, it will get cold soon."
Everyone picked up their bowls and chopsticks in silence.
Mumian rolled her eyes, and she came closer to the old lady and said with a smile, "Old lady, let me serve you some food."
Su Nuan glanced over and thought, this woman is still a thief with evil intentions.
Xue was about to explode, but the old lady smiled and nodded, "Okay, then let me see how well-educated you are."
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Mu Mian saw that there were no serving chopsticks, so she reached out and grabbed Su Nuan's chopsticks.
Su Nuan raised her eyebrows and watched Mu Mian's performance quietly.
Seeing the red jar of meat on the table, Mu Man picked up a piece and put it in the old lady's bowl.
"Old lady, this jar of meat is very soft and tender, please try it."
The old lady said coldly, "Don't you know that the elderly shouldn't eat fat? Are you trying to kill me?"
Mu Mian quickly shook her head and explained, "This servant has no intention of harming you. Eating less will not harm your health."
Su Nuan said calmly, "Fat meat causes phlegm, so it's better for the elderly not to eat it."
Mu Man gritted his teeth, glanced around, reached out and picked up a piece of braised fish and put it in the old lady's bowl.
"Then you eat fish."
The old lady nodded, "Yes."
Then he didn't move his chopsticks for a long time.
Xue said dissatisfiedly, "How can you be so rude, maid? You actually put fish with bones in the old lady's bowl. Do you want to kill her?"
After saying that, she picked out the fish bones herself, and the old lady started eating.
Mu Mian took a deep breath and regretted it. Why did she rush to serve this old woman?
She didn't do anything, but she said she wanted to harm her. Why didn't she just choke to death?
As soon as this vicious thought came to her mind, she realized that she had lost her composure, and hurriedly lowered her head and clenched her fists.
But she didn't realize that Su Nuan caught her resentful look.
Ling Cang stroked the wine glass thoughtfully, his eyes wandering to Kapok's white knuckles.
Su Nuan secretly asked: "Space Spirit, does this woman have a system?"
The space spirit replied: "No, she has a soul space, I don't know if Hai Lan can swallow it."
"This soul space is connected to her life. It will only disappear when her soul is scattered."
Su Nuan was a little disappointed. Hai Lan could eat up other people's systems, but she had never eaten up something like space.
She didn't have chopsticks now, so she simply stood up and went to the table next to her to get some spare chopsticks.
Just as she stood up, Mu Mian said, "Are you going to serve the old lady yourself? Then please do it. I just want to learn."
Su Nuan's eyes turned cold, and her gaze slowly fell on the chopsticks that Mu Mian casually handed to her. A sarcastic arc appeared at the corner of her lips.
"You are a lowly slave, who allowed you to call yourself 'I' in front of me?"
Mu Man's fingers stiffened and the tips of his chopsticks trembled slightly.
She raised her eyes to meet Su Nuan's, a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes, but she had to lower her head, "I know I'm wrong."
Her clenched knuckles revealed the resentment in her heart.
Bai Chen couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Cousin, did this maid really grow up with you? How come she hasn't learned even one tenth of your rules?"
"I'm going to thoroughly investigate the Bai family's servants. If they all cause trouble for their master like she does, they'll be sold off early."
Bai Tong glanced at Bai Chen quickly. She wanted to speak, but she had been bullied by Mu Man for many years, so she had forgotten how to speak for herself.
Su Nuan smiled again and said, "I think she's pretty, why not sell her to me? I'm in need of a foot-washing maid, and I can train her well."
Mu Mian couldn't hold it in any longer. She raised her head and glared at Su Nuan, "Why are you so arrogant? You're just an exiled prisoner, no more noble than me."
"If we really want to compete for a higher ground, I'm much better than you. You can't even leave the Northland, but I can move around freely."
Su Nuan didn't get angry when she heard this, but laughed instead, just looking at her furious look quietly.
Mumian's chest heaved violently, and the rage in her eyes threatened to burst forth, but before she could speak again...
“Bang!”
The old lady put down her chopsticks heavily, a cold look flashing in her eyes, "When did it become the turn of a servant to give orders in the City Lord's Mansion?"
Ling Cang suddenly chuckled, "If you come to think of it, this city lord is also an exiled prisoner. Didn't you release him because you admired me?"
"Also, my grandmother was also an exiled prisoner, yet you diligently served her food."
"Tell me, what is your purpose that you can abandon your master and please us?"
The air froze instantly.
Mu Mian's face turned pale, and he finally realized what he had done.
She gritted her teeth and sneered, as if she didn't want to act anymore.
Then, Mu Mian placed her hands on her abdomen and said arrogantly, "I am the head of the Bai Fengyu family."
Ling Cang remained calm and asked, "As far as I know, Bai Fengyu is Bai Tong's biological father. How can a mere servant like you be their master?"
Mu Mian looked at Ling Cang and said, "I have something to tell you alone."
Ling Cang said nothing, just looked at Su Nuan.
Ling Yun said angrily, "Brother, this woman has bad intentions. If she were alone with you, she would definitely tear off her clothes and throw herself into your arms to slander you."
"How will you be worthy of your sister-in-law then? Will you marry her or kill her?"
Ling Cang looked at Ling Yun as if he were a fool, and said in a tone of disapproval, "Did you not eat? Your brain has become thin because of hunger?"
Even if a woman threw herself at him, he couldn't do anything. How could he forget?
Su Nuan didn't react at all and was watching the show with great interest.
Mrs. Xue was speechless when she saw her daughter-in-law's excited look. If it were another woman, she would have caused a huge commotion.
The old lady picked up the chopsticks again and picked up a piece of rabbit meat in lotus leaf, put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly, then watched the show with relish.
