"Of course it's my sister." The two brothers said in unison.
Mu Chong and a group of old foxes were so shocked by the shock that their eyes almost popped out of their heads, but after the intense surprise, they were filled with even greater joy.
It’s better if it’s not Dr. Mu Bai!
No matter whether it is Doctor Mu Bai or Doctor Mu Hei, all they want is to be the first to see the moon because they are close to the water.
"Brother Jiang, you are so lucky. The biological daughter you found is actually a miracle doctor."
"No wonder Madam Jiang treats Miss Jiang like the apple of her eye. Who wouldn't love such an outstanding, sensible, polite and beautiful girl?"
"Wan Jie'er! What are you still standing there for? Come here quickly."
The flame of desire for health in Mu Chong's eyes was rekindled like a prairie fire. He pulled Mu Wanbai and pushed her in front of Jiang Ying.
"Miss Jiang, this is my granddaughter. She used to help her father manage logistics at the Imperial College, and she's an old acquaintance of your brother, Chen Ge'er."
"You sisters should spend more time together in the future. Our Mu Mansion has a history of a hundred years of scholarly tradition, while the Jiang Mansion has a history of a hundred years of military service. We are both civil and military, and we complement each other quite well."
At this moment, Mu Chong's throat suddenly stopped itching and his lips stopped trembling.
He said all these words passionately in one breath, and his words and deeds were no different from promoting his own granddaughter.
Are you planning to marry into the Jiang family again?
Regardless of what Jiang Shang and the old lady were thinking, the masters and ladies of the other families beside them all showed a bit of contempt on their faces.
Don’t be too obvious about being rude at first and respectful later!
It is obvious that he changed his stance again after seeing that the Jiang family gained power, Jiang Yuanchen recovered as before, and there was an additional medical expert like Jiang Ying who could benefit the family!
Jiang Ying's medical skills are comparable to those of the genius doctor Mu Bai, which means that all the wealthy families in the capital, unless they have mental problems, will not take the initiative to offend the Duke's Mansion. Those who have seriously ill patients at home will even try to curry favor with them.
But when Jiang Yuanchen was stupid before, the Mu family hurriedly distanced themselves from Mu Wanbai and Jiang Yuanchen. Even at the beginning of the banquet just now, Mu Wanbai confronted Jiang Ying about the fake Jiang Yilin. How shameless of them to think everyone was blind?
Madam Pei took out a handkerchief and covered her mouth with it. "Oh, why is Lord Mu trying to match up his granddaughter with Jiang Erlang in front of so many people..."
Mu Chong wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, he stroked his beard as if it was natural. "As the saying goes, men should marry when they are old enough, and women should marry when they are old enough. Jiang Erlang hasn't got a date yet, so how can I not bring them together?"
"I'm afraid that while Elder Mu has good intentions, Miss Mu doesn't share these feelings. No matter how good Jiang Erlang is, how can he compare to the royal family? Furthermore, if I'm not mistaken, the person Miss Mu placed her bet on was Prince Yan, right?"
Mrs. Pei exposed it bluntly.
Mu Wanbai knew that Jiang Yuanlang was present, but she did not vote for him to support the Jiang family. Instead, she chose Yan Zhuo, whose identity was unknown at the time. This shows that she was not optimistic about the Jiang family at all!
If you don't even give me face, how can we even talk about marriage?
Mu Chong's face froze for a moment after being confronted, and he touched his chest with an uncomfortable look.
Mu Wanbai hurriedly tried to calm him down while standing up pitifully. "I was inconsiderate just now. Madam Pei, please don't insinuate this onto Grandfather. I... I... I'm sorry!"
She half lowered her head, her voice small and choked with sobs.
Those who didn't know thought she was apologizing for the bet, while those who knew, such as Jiang Ying and Jiang Yuanchen, knew clearly that she was embarrassed for having treated Jiang Yuanchen like a dog-skin plaster before.
It’s a pity that I have become a villain. Is just saying sorry enough?
Jiang Yuanchen stepped forward, his attitude distant and indifferent. "Master Mu, please be careful with your words. Miss Mu and I only lived under the same roof for a short while, and we only met twice more than the others. There is no romantic relationship between us. Besides, the Duke's Mansion has been a family of warriors for generations, crude and poor. We are not the same kind of people as the noble and far-sighted Scholar's Mansion."
The rejection and disgust are particularly obvious.
Mu Chong frowned tightly, feeling embarrassed, confused and puzzled.
Mu Wanbai lowered her head even lower.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Jiang Shang quickly laughed and said, "It's getting late. This Peking opera is fun, but it's a bit too noisy. Please move to the flower hall, enjoy some fine calligraphy and paintings, have some tea and snacks, and when dinner starts, let's get drunk!"
Everything about this homecoming banquet was arranged by the Lian family.
It is extremely thoughtful and luxurious, with many items to choose from. It is guaranteed to make visitors have a happy day and not want to leave.
Minister of Justice Pei Yanan secretly pinched Madam Pei, blaming her for speaking without restraint and making such a mess of the atmosphere.
Following Jiang Shang's words, he acted as a peacemaker and said, "Yes, yes, the weather is indeed not very good. It might rain. It would be better if we move to the inner room to appreciate the calligraphy and paintings."
No one had any objection.
Yue Weimo smiled and ran forward, bowing to Pei Yannan and Jiang Shang. "Uncle and the elders, please move on. We kids aren't done yet. We still have to distribute the prizes to Sister Lu's team, who won the bet just now."
Yue Weimo's father was only the fifth-rank director of the Imperial Observatory, while the Shangshu was a second-rank official. Yue Weimo actually dared to speak to Pei Yannan like that. Yue Xuanfeng broke out in a sweat.
"How dare you! We're at a banquet at someone's house, how could you just be thinking about having fun?"
The words sounded harsh, but the tone wasn't actually mean at all.
It also makes people feel pampered for no reason.
Yue Xuanfeng had the confidence to be so casual. He was not a high-ranking official, but he had the emperor's trust.
Since the previous dynasty, all festivals, sacrifices, and ceremonies throughout the country, big or small, were decided by Yue Xuanfeng's fortune-telling.
Moreover, no matter whether it was the previous dynasty or the present dynasty, as long as he calculated the days, they were all sunny and there was never a mistake.
People outside joked that Yue Xuanfeng had to bear the main credit for the success of Nanzhao.
