Chapter 229 Are you crazy?

Lin Mengyan and Mu Liufang, who had been waiting at the door early, looked at each other and pretended to salute: "Greetings to the King of Nanling, and to the Princess of Nanling."

They naturally knew that Xu Yanyi didn't like the title of Princess Nanling, and was even unhappy when it was mentioned, but they still wanted to mention it, and even shouted it in front of so many people. After all, they had to remind Xu Yanyi to remember her identity at all times to avoid doing anything embarrassing.

There was a hint of impatience in Xu Yanyi's eyes, but she didn't say anything.

Lin Mengyan, however, said to Master Yue who was following behind her in a gloomy tone: "You and Princess Nanling are also on good terms now. Are you two going out together?"

Master Yue said calmly: "I just came here to celebrate the old lady's birthday and help the princess."

Lin Mengyan sneered: "Really? I heard that you put aside a lot of your things and have been in the Princess's Mansion with Princess Nanling these days. The two of you were reading books and discussing knowledge in the library. If you didn't know, you two would think you were going to take the imperial examination."

As soon as these words came out, all the guests looked at him with strange eyes.

That kind of stare was completely like that of an adulterer. If Master Yue hadn't been wearing a mask, and many rumors about him told us that he was disfigured, I'm afraid now it would have been confirmed that they were having an affair.

Master Yue frowned and was about to speak again when Xu Yanyi took over the conversation: "Miss Lin, today is Madam Lin's birthday banquet. You invited me here. Since you invited me, please stop being so shady here. I don't discuss academic matters in the library. Am I going to be like you, pestering men to marry me in the Buddhist temple?"

"you!"

Lin Mengyan's face turned green.

Xu Yanyi raised her eyebrows in disdain: "Mr. Yue is a busy man, and you are willing to help me. That's his kindness, but I am not that gentle. If you asked me to come here to find trouble, I will leave now."

After saying that, Xu Yanyi turned around and left.

Mu Liufang glared at Lin Mengyan quickly, then spoke: "Princess Nanling, don't be angry. Mengyan is young and ignorant. You are more generous..."

"Young?" Xu Yanyi sneered, and her eyes were full of sarcasm when she looked at Lin Mengyan. "Not young, right? She's three years older than me. Why is it that your Lin family's definition of young is so different from others?"

“…”

Mu Liufang was extremely embarrassed. Lin Mengyan was so angry that she wanted to speak, but Mu Nanzhou coldly scolded her: "Enough! Today is Madam Lin's birthday banquet, what are you doing? Do you want to go in or not? You are being laughed at here for nothing!"

"My Lord, I am just..."

Lin Mengyan stamped her feet with red eyes and added softly, "I am just standing up for you."

Obviously Mu Nanzhou does not agree to divorce, and divorce does not count, so Xu Yanyi has to abide by the code of conduct for a wife. Why should she do such shameful things with Master Yue? Doesn't a man like Mu Nanzhou feel aggrieved?

Master Yue's face darkened: "Ms. Lin, I won't bother with you for the sake of your sister, but if you continue to talk nonsense and slander the innocence of me and the princess, I'm afraid we will have to go to court!"

After that, Master Yue looked at Mu Nanzhou seriously again, "Prince Nanling, since you said that the divorce letter will not count without the golden seal, then the eldest princess is still your princess consort. If you still don't know how to protect her, don't blame her if she really asks the queen mother for the golden seal and breaks up with you!"

Mu Nanzhou's handsome face looked extremely unhappy. He glared at Master Yue fiercely before speaking: "Aunt, I have also been in the library these days."

What this means is that there are not only Xu Yanyi and Master Yue in the library, but he is also there.

This is indeed the truth. He couldn't bear to see Xu Yanyi and Master Yue alone together.

Mu Nanzhou simply went to the library under the pretext of looking for books and stayed there every day. No one knew what Xu Yanyi and Yue Gongzi were looking for. They were buried in the piles of books all day long. Xu Yanyi would occasionally copy books with a pen and even drew some pictures in the books.

Of course he wanted to ask, but since they didn't say anything, it would be cheap for him to ask on his own.

So during these few days, the three of them were really reading books in the library. Although they were reading different books and didn't talk to each other, the atmosphere was particularly weird, but they really didn't do anything out of the ordinary.

"This……"

Lin Mengyan was held back by Mu Liufang.

Mu Liufang held back her anger and said, "It's all my fault. I didn't teach Meng Yan the rules. Prince, Princess, please don't be offended. Meng Yan, why don't you hurry up and apologize to Prince?"

Good man, the ones who were insulted were Xu Yanyi and Master Yue, but the apology was made to Mu Nanzhou who was just watching the show?

Xu Yanyi said bluntly: "Let's go. He doesn't even know who he just insulted. He apologized to the wrong person. What's the point of us coming to celebrate his birthday?"

Seeing Xu Yanyi and her people leaving, the Lin family just rushed out. Old Madam Lin leaned on her cane and said, "Princess Nanling, please stay!"

Xu Yanyi raised her eyebrows.

Master Zhu came out with the old lady and a bunch of Lin family members. Master Zhu looked at Mu Liufang and Lin Mengyan with a cold face: "What are you doing! Everyone is a guest, why are you making a fuss here! Why don't you apologize to the princess quickly!"

"father……"

Lin Mengyan stamped her feet, extremely reluctant.

Mu Liufang suppressed her anger and bowed: "Please forgive me, Princess Nanling. I was just..."

Xu Yanyi interrupted coldly: "No need to apologize. I was going to leave, but seeing that Mr. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu are reasonable people, I'll let it go."

After saying that, Xu Yanyi told Xiaoyu: "Send a gift."

Now that you are here, you should be polite.

Xiaoyu stepped forward and opened a brocade box in front of everyone, revealing one thousand taels of silver.

I asked Mu Nanzhou for this. Anyway, Mu Nanzhou owed me so much dowry, so I have to give it to him, right?

Lin Mengyan and Mu Liufang were both stunned.

What kind of operation is Xu Yanyi doing? Who would open a gift in front of everyone? And give silver directly? This is too...

"The Lin family is rich and powerful, and they have all kinds of treasures. I think it would be better to just give them silver. You can buy whatever you like. Isn't that great? Oh, by the way, in case you think the silver I give you is fake, come on, Xiaoyu, take it all out and check it with the Lin family's accountant."

Xu Yanyi waved her hand.

Xiaoyu came forward holding the box.

Lin Mengyan and Mu Liufang's faces changed. Was this woman afraid that they would tamper with the money? Otherwise, what was the point of doing such a thing!

Mu Nan grabbed Xu Yanyi on Monday and said with gritted teeth: "Are you crazy? You are not ashamed to do this!"
