The last time the Purple River Chariot incident happened, Qing Wu took Mu Ying and Huo Hongying to Ruyang Palace and rescued the second wife of the second branch of the palace.
At that time, the old princess expressed her hope to spend more time with Mu Ying and restore the friendship between the two families.
After that, Prince Ruyang's Mansion would send gifts to Prince Yan's Mansion from time to time, and Qing Wu and Mu Ying both received gifts from the old princess.
Xiao Yulang walks in the underworld at night and studies and practices martial arts during the day. He is as busy as a small spinning top.
He made many ghost friends, and his only living friend was the little boy Chu Xiu from the Prince of Ruyang's mansion.
But there was nothing he could do. Xiao Yulang was too busy with his work and had no time to meet Chu Xiuyu, but they kept exchanging letters.
The old princess held a banquet, firstly to thank Qing Wu for her help last time, and secondly, she had other thoughts.
Mu Ying didn't think of anything else at first, but when she met Asuna at the door and learned that she had also received an invitation, she had more ideas.
The last time we went to Prince Ruyang's Mansion, the old princess mentioned her grandfather. At that time, the old man said that Qing Wu looked very similar to Old Master Mu.
Although Mu Ying had not had much contact with the old princess, he could sense that the old lady was a very smart person.
I'm afraid I had my guess the first time I saw my cousin.
Huo Hongying didn't say much along the way, just looking at Mu Ying's expression.
In fact, she had a lot to complain about, especially about that 'Qingwu County'.
Just after she finished scolding, she returned to the carriage and remembered Mu Ying's feelings for Qing Wujun. Huo Hongying was a little annoyed that she didn't control her mouth.
Although Qingwujun was indebted to him, wasn't it also not nice for him to scold her cousin like that in front of Sister Mu Ying?
Will it hurt Sister Mu Ying's feelings?
Huo Hongying couldn't help but feel nervous. Mu Ying was her destined sister-in-law, and after spending some time together, Huo Hongying even regarded Mu Ying as her best friend.
Even if Mu Ying and her stubborn brother couldn't get along, Huo Hongying still considered her as her friend.
The more Miss Huo thought about it, the more flustered she became. She simply raised her hand and slapped herself in the face.
She grimaced in pain.
Mu Ying and Wang Yulang looked at her in astonishment.
Huo Hongying: "Sister Mu Ying, blame me for being mean just now. I just felt that Qing Wujun's words were not well-intentioned. I scolded her in person just now, and I didn't care about your face. Don't bother with me."
"You tiger girl." Mu Ying was both angry and amused when she heard this. She held Huo Hongying's face and looked around, then breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, it's not swollen, otherwise I wonder how you will be able to face people later."
Huo Hongying laughed, "Of course I can. I slapped myself on the face, so I must have taken it lightly. If it turned red, wouldn't it be Sister Mu Ying who would feel bad~"
Mu Ying poked her between the eyebrows with his finger in an angry tone: "You."
Wang Yulang was also laughing beside him, and when Huo Hongying saw this, he gave her a thumbs up and said, "Little Sister, this is it."
The second Miss Huo raised her chin and clicked her tongue, looking like a gangster daughter of a military employee.
When Mu Ying saw her like that and thought of the stern Huo Yi, he thought that this tiger girl must have been beaten a lot at home.
With General Huo's temper, he must have a headache every day dealing with such a lively sister.
Realizing that he was thinking about Huo Yi, Mu Ying's eyes flickered. He threw the other person out of his mind and said to Huo Hongying:
"You did nothing wrong yesterday. How could I be angry with you?"
Huo Hongying breathed a sigh of relief: "I was so scared. Sister Mu Ying, you didn't say a word the whole time. I thought you were mad at me."
Mu Ying shook his head, knowing that she had misunderstood.
But it's not surprising that Huo Hongying misunderstood. The fact that the 'Qingwujun' was a fake was not known to everyone even in Prince Yan's mansion.
People outside the palace have no idea.
Xiao Yulang suddenly said, "That woman is full of bad intentions. She stinks. What the little nun said was absolutely right."
"Besides, she is not my Aunt Qingwu at all."
Mu Ying looked at her son with an anxious look in her eyes. It was not that she wanted to hide it from Huo Hongying, but she was worried that her cousin and Prince Yan had other arrangements in this matter.
If we make it known rashly to the outside world, something unexpected might happen.
However, Xiao Yulang gave his mother a reassuring look.
Mu Ying knew that his son was not the kind of person who would do anything reckless, and he breathed a sigh of relief, but he also wanted to know why Xiao Yulang confessed.
Huo Hongying opened her eyes wide in shock: "Is she a fake?"
Xiao Yulang nodded: "It's fake, she smells like dirt. But don't be afraid, little sister-in-law, I will protect you."
Huo Hongying was shocked. After hearing the word "dirty things", her mind was filled with all sorts of fantasies. She had read a lot of ghost stories recently and was much more knowledgeable than before.
"A storybook I read a while ago mentioned a kind of painted-skin ghost. Could this fake one be a ghost in disguise?"
"Come to think of it, I heard someone say that her face is exactly the same as that of Major General Yun. Could it be that she is..."
Mu Ying's eyes darkened as well. She suddenly asked, "The old princess is hosting a banquet today. Do you know who else she is inviting?"
Huo Hongying: "I heard that they invited several old ladies from other palaces. They are all good friends of the old princess. There are no outsiders among the younger generation."
Mu Ying understood.
If she were an elderly person in Beijing, she would naturally know what her maternal grandfather looked like. Moreover, when my cousin was a child, she was often brought to banquets with her relatives. The older generation might all know that my cousin looks more like her maternal grandfather.
Mu Ying began to understand the purpose of the old princess's banquet that day.
I'm afraid the old man heard that the counterfeit looked similar to Yun Zheng and had some guesses in his mind, so he invited the older generation to the banquet. Is he preparing to "expose the fake" for his cousin?
Mu Ying felt deeply moved that the old princess was really thoughtful.
But she couldn't help but worry.
What if the counterfeit has something dirty on him and he notices something and gets angry and attacks the old princess and the others?
Xiao Yulang saw through his mother's anxiety.
He held Mu Ying's hand and smiled sweetly, "Mother, have you forgotten what Madam Huang said?"
Mu Ying came back to his senses, felt relieved, and couldn't help laughing.
"Yes, mother remembered."
She was worrying too much.
My cousin didn't come today, so of course she had a reason for not coming.
She could guess the reason why the old princess held the banquet, so with her cousin's ability, how could she not guess it?
Since you have anticipated this, why would you be afraid of the other party taking action?
Maybe this banquet was deliberately held to give the other party an opportunity to take action.
The banquet was held in the Plum Garden of Prince Ruyang's Palace.
Qing Wu picked a red plum blossom and played with it in her hands. The wasp chewed the plum blossom and sucked the nectar in its mouth, and said in confusion:
"Princess Di, that fake guy is a complete idiot. It's not worth your personal effort. Is it worth it for us to go through so much trouble?"
"It's just a matter of moving a finger to expose her fake face."
"A fool who was thrown out to divert attention is certainly not worth my personal effort." Qing Wu smiled lazily: "The other party let this guy appear with my brother's face, isn't it just to attract my attention."
"They've put so much effort into this. If I don't cooperate with them and perform hard, how will they have time to do what they really want to do?"
Red Plumã±—Her fingertips were crushed, and the bright red flower juice looked like blood.
Qing Wu murmured, "A fake with my elder brother's face, a man with a Nuo mask who is eyeing Xie Shu covetously..."
"What is the real purpose of the Wu Clan doing this?"
Seize Xie Shu's seven-aperture exquisite heart?
This is just the superficial purpose, but this matter itself hides a huge loophole.
If the Seven-Aperture Heart was useful to the Witch Clan, the Witch Clan would have had tens of millions of opportunities to attack Xie Shu in the past ten years.
What is the reason that makes them have to wait until now?
In other words, only by seizing the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart now can it be put to the greatest use?
