Chapter 219: Do you have to be so exaggerated? Are you deliberately looking for trouble?
Together...
Mu Nanzhou subconsciously raised his head, his eyes fixed on the several dots drawn by Xu Yanyi on the map. Slowly, those dots were connected in his imagination. This shape...
Suddenly, Mu Nanzhou reacted: "This looks like the mountain range in the painting of thousands of galloping horses left by Emperor Taizong?"
Unexpectedly, Mu Nanzhou saw through it.
Xu Yanyi snapped her fingers, jumped down and turned over the painting. She had asked Xiaoyu to put it in the library, but she didn't expect to use it now. She unfolded the painting.
There is no need to compare, you can tell at a glance.
Xu Yanyi's heart moved slightly. Could it be that the mountain range in the painting was nearby?
Mu Nanzhou glanced at her and couldn't help asking, "This is the map of the Princess's Mansion, but why is the shape the same as the mountain range background?"
"The map is a two-dimensional map, while the Galloping Horses map is a three-dimensional map. That is to say, the plane view of the Princess's Mansion from above is exactly the same as the three-dimensional mountain range in the Galloping Horses map. But what kind of mountain range has a three-dimensional map and a two-dimensional map that are exactly the same? Isn't this very strange?"
Xu Yanyi frowned, unable to figure out the answer for a moment, and did not answer Mu Nanzhou's question.
Both of them seemed to have fallen into silence.
Knock knock knock.
There was a knock on the door.
Mu Nanzhou and Xu Yanyi both came back to their senses. Xu Yanyi rolled up the painting and was about to open the door when it was slammed open by someone. Even Xiaoyu, who was locked outside the door, was pushed to the ground.
As the door opened, a cold female voice came in: "In broad daylight, the door is still closed. Are you doing something shady?"
Mu Nanzhou and Xu Yanyi were startled and turned around at the same time, and saw a woman walking in coldly. The guards outside did not dare to stop her.
Suddenly, Xu Yanyi recognized her. If the original owner's memory was correct, this woman was Mu Nanzhou's aunt Mu Liufang. She married into the Lin family when she was young, and later moved out of the capital with the Lin family and rarely came back.
Mu Liufang had always been exchanging letters with the Mu family. Three years ago, when the rebels broke out, she rushed back just in time to rescue the seriously injured Mu Nanzhou. She also arranged for Li Qiuer to take care of Mu Nanzhou. The relationship between the two was pretty good.
It’s just that the Lin family…
Xu Yanyi frowned and was just feeling a familiar feeling coming to her mind when she saw Lin Mengyan following behind Mu Liufang.
Suddenly, Xu Yanyi reacted. Isn't Lin Mengyan's surname Lin? The Lin family that Mu Liufang married into was specifically for the purpose of being a concubine!
Therefore, Mu Liufang is Lin Mengyan's stepmother in name only!
Xu Yanyi was just thinking about this when she heard Lin Mengyan speak: "Mother, I told you that the prince married a bad person. He married someone who was disloyal and unfilial. If the prince didn't go to court before, he would go to the barracks. Now he hangs out with her here every day."
It really is, this world is really small.
However, Xu Yanyi admired Mu Liufang very much. Generally speaking, the children of the original wife would not recognize the later woman.
Even though Mu Liufang is the second wife and the legal wife, they are still in opposition. However, Lin Mengyan and Mu Liufang obviously have a good relationship, and Lin Mengyan even calls Mu Liufang mother, which shows that Mu Liufang does have some abilities.
However, the original owner did not have a deep impression of Mu Liufang. After all, she got married and left the capital very early. Even if she had contact, it was only with people within the Mu family. She had little communication with the original owner, the eldest princess.
Others would not be able to tell whether he was an enemy or a friend, but Xu Yanyi could see the black progress bar above Mu Liufang's head at a glance.
Good guy, he is worthy of being in the same group with Lin Mengyan, and he has no good intentions towards Xu Yanyi.
Mu Liufang glanced at Xu Yanyi coldly, and bowed in a pretentious manner: "See you, Princess."
She glanced at Lin Mengyan, who looked disdainful, and signaled Lin Mengyan to behave properly. Lin Mengyan reluctantly followed suit.
Xu Yanyi raised her eyebrows slightly and was about to speak when the painting that had been rolled up and placed away earlier fell down and hit Mu Nanzhou's feet, perhaps because it was not placed securely.
Mu Liufang immediately ran over worriedly, elbowing Xu Yanyi away, and nervously supported Mu Nanzhou, making Mu Nanzhou look like a three-year-old child who was about to die: "Nanzhou, are you okay? Is your foot injured? Doctor! Doctor!"
"Aunt, it's not that serious."
Mu Nanzhou frowned and patted her hands.
Lin Mengyan quickly spoke up: "What do you mean it's not that serious? My mother has no biological children, so she treats me as her own daughter. Not to mention that you are her brother's son, so she has always treated you as her own son. Prince, it can be a serious injury to your foot. Let's get a doctor to take a look. I'll go find the doctor."
After saying that, Lin Mengyan turned around and ran out.
The corners of Xu Yanyi's mouth twitched, and she reached out to rub her hurt arm. Why was she exaggerating so much? It was just a painting that hit her foot, and it was a rolled-up painting, how could it be broken?
Seeing this, Xiaoyu ran in quickly and said, "Madam, you insisted on saying that you are the prince's aunt and insisted on coming in. The servants did not stop you, but you are still not following the rules in the princess's mansion. Do you think you can bump into my eldest princess?"
These words ignited Mu Liufang's anger. She turned around and said, "What's wrong with a collision? Since it's the princess's mansion, it's her responsibility. Today it's a painting that fell, what about a brick tomorrow? Nan Zhou is the King of Nanling! Not even a little damage is allowed!
I have already given her a lot of face. If she lost the protection of the Southern Zhou Dynasty and the title of Princess of Nanling, do you think she would be hacked to death by those who were harmed by the rebels when she went out?"
Xiaoyu stood in front of Xu Yanyi in a rage and said, "My princess said that the rebellion had nothing to do with her!"
Mu Liufang said angrily: "Who do you think you are? You dare to talk to me like this here! So many people in my Mu family died so unjustly, and she said it doesn't matter? I think she wants to kill Nan Zhou too!"
"Aunt, I'm really fine..."
Mu Nanzhou couldn't help but explain, but Mu Liufang wouldn't listen at all. She gritted her teeth and said, "Nanzhou! Shut up! If you still think I'm your aunt, don't say anything! I heard it on the way to Beijing. Since she wants to divorce you, why do you care whether her divorce letter has a golden seal or not! Just take it as your consent! Don't have anything to do with this vicious woman in the future!"
"How could you…"
Xiaoyu was so angry that her face turned blue.
Xu Yanyi held her arm and shook her head gently: "The Mu family is in trouble, and it is understandable that Aunt Mu is upset. Everyone who comes to our house is a guest, so there is no need to worry about these things."
Hearing this, Mu Liufang not only did not feel relieved, but became even angrier.
She pointed at Xu Yanyi angrily: "Don't pretend to be so generous. Who knows what evil things you have in your mind? Tell me the truth, what did you want to do just now?"
Xu Yanyi was confused: "What do you want to do?"
