When Mu Wan'er arrived at the main hall, Xu was chatting enthusiastically with Mu Jingyue.

Mu Wan'er listened outside the door for a while before pushing the door open and bowing with a smile, "Mother."

[The sun really rises from the west today. How come these two have so much to talk about? ]

Mrs. Xu was sitting on a mahogany chair. Hearing this, she just glanced at her and waved her hand to signal her to sit down.

Mu Jingyue raised her eyebrows imperceptibly, and said with a dagger hidden in her smile: "Second sister, you are finally here. I have been chatting with mother for quite a while."

[No, it wasn't long, was it?]

[Didn’t I just change my clothes and wash my face? ]

Mu Wan'er was quite speechless, and said "oh" with a fake smile: "Sister, don't you want to talk to mother?"

Mu Jingyue was startled after hearing this, and hurriedly explained to Xu: "Mother, my second sister misunderstood. Jingyue didn't mean that..."

Xu glared at Mu Wan'er with dissatisfaction. Her eyes were as cold as ice and showed a hint of displeasure.

She turned her gaze to Mu Jingrui and said with a soothing smile, "Okay, mother understands."

In her opinion, this concubine's daughter is more pleasing to the eye than Mu Wan'er. After all, she is sweet-mouthed and does not look like Yunniang at all.

Mu Wan'er was fine when she first came to the mansion, but as time went on, she began to eat and do nothing.

Xu took a sip of tea and said seriously, "I summoned you two sisters here today for the spring hunt in three days."

She only called the two of them and did not call Mu An Ning, because Old Madam Mu had instructed that Mu An Ning must go on the spring hunt.

It would be best to take this opportunity to let Tan Wenhuai take the initiative to propose marriage to the Mu family.

Mu Wan'er frowned involuntarily, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

[What is this plot? Why can’t I remember it? ]

[But... Spring hunting should be fun. 】

Seeing Mu Wan'er's absent-minded look, Xu couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.

She tried her best to keep a calm tone and said calmly, "Wan'er, don't go to the spring hunt the day after tomorrow. Stay indoors and practice your embroidery skills."

Mu Wan'er came back to her senses immediately, sat up straight, and argued for herself: "Mother, let your daughter go. It won't interfere with my practice if I go."

In the past few days, Xu had not asked her whether she had practiced embroidery. Why did she suddenly start to ask about it now?

She had never been good at embroidery, especially the stuff like that which made the cover, which she could never embroider properly.

Xu frowned and was about to explode, but then she remembered Mu Wan'er's future identity as the Crown Princess, and had to suppress her anger.

She put down the teacup in her hand and said calmly, "You have been to many banquets during the days since you came to the mansion. This time, I will let your sister attend."

If each family could only have two girls and one boy participating, and Mu Jingyue came to her for help, she would not have interfered in the matter.

In the past, there was only one girl, Mu An Ning, in the family, but now there are three. Even if she wanted to have less trouble, it was impossible.

Mu Wan'er glanced at the complacent Mu Jingyue, and then at Xu who was obviously a little impatient. She knew that it was useless to pester her any further, so she could only shrug her shoulders in a submissive manner: "Okay, then I'll listen to mother."

[This is very strange. Could it be that Xu is one of the characters with problems? ]

Mu Jingyue had a smile on her face. Seeing that Xu was particularly easy to talk to today, she took the opportunity to bring up another matter: "Mother, Jingyue has another request. Can you bring Jingrui home in a few days?"

The old lady had said before that after Xu recovered, she would send someone to bring Mu Jingrui back to the mansion.

But now that Mrs. Xu's illness has been completely cured, the old lady has never mentioned this matter again.

Xu frowned, and couldn't remember why Mu Jingrui was not in the house: "Jingrui?"

Mu Jingyue nodded obediently, pursed her lips and said: "Mother, Jingrui has lived in the other courtyard for quite a while, and his body can't bear it..."

Xu nodded in understanding, and without much hesitation, he waved his hand and agreed directly.

Mu Wan'er felt more and more uneasy as she watched the two of them being as close as real mother and daughter.

Didn't Xu hate Mu Jingyue and her brother the most in the past? How come she has become so kind to them now?

The system did not reveal which characters had problems, but in her mind, Xu was already listed as one of the suspicious characters.

While she was thinking about it, Xu suddenly said that she was a little tired, so the two sisters had to leave first.

When walking out of the door, Mu Jingyue noticed Mu Wan'er's solemn expression, and secretly guessed that she was unwilling because her opportunity was taken away from her.

Mu Jingyue was quite proud in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She just bit her lip and apologized softly: "Second sister, I didn't expect that mother would let me go."

Mu Wan'er just smiled and said nothing, staring at her left and right.

Mu Jingyue suddenly felt as if he had punched cotton. His voice paused and he continued to speak a few more words.

Mu Wan'er suddenly interrupted her and pointed at her eyes in surprise: "Sister, you have eye boogers!"

Mu Jingyue's face froze, and he subconsciously reached out and rubbed the corners of his eyes, but found nothing.

By the time she realized she had been tricked, Mu Wan'er had already jumped away.

Su Nianci's clinic is located on the most prosperous street in Shangjing.

As soon as Mu An Ning stepped into the door, he was surrounded by a strong medicinal aroma and felt extremely comfortable and pleasant.

She looked around and was surprised to find that the clinic was uniquely decorated and exceptionally spacious and bright, as if it could be opened right away.

She originally thought that Su Nianci just had an idea in her mind, but she didn't expect that she had already put it into action.

Su Nianci took her hand and sat down in the empty hall. She said slowly, "Ning'er, I've sent people to collect medicinal materials these days. If nothing unexpected happens, we can open the store in a few days."

Mu An Ning looked thoughtful and confused: "Sister Su, An Ning is confused. How can I help you?"

I originally thought I could give Su Nianci some financial help, but she obviously didn't need it.

Mu An Ning lowered his head and smiled, secretly joking: "I have only read a few medical books, it is impossible for me to be a doctor in Sister Su's clinic."

Given the size of this clinic, it is obviously impossible not to recruit good doctors.

Su Nianci couldn't help laughing when she heard her friend's words. She looked at her and said, "Ning'er, I've already hired a doctor, so there's no need for you to be the doctor."

Mu An Ning smiled, nodded without surprise, blinked and continued listening.

Su Nianci looked at the small compartment on her right and said slowly, "Ning'er, I know you can't solve all the difficult and complicated diseases, but I believe you can still handle minor illnesses."

Mu An Ning thought for a moment. If it was common illnesses such as colds, coughs, and irregular menstruation, then she did know how to deal with them.

But any doctor can treat these diseases.

Since Su Nianci has already found a doctor, why bother looking for her?

Seeing her friend remain silent, Su Nianci smiled and said, "Actually, my mother and I have had this idea for a long time."

She took the handkerchief and covered her mouth with it, coughing, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes: "Most doctors in this world are men, and very few women can become doctors. But women can also get sick these days, but when facing men, they can't tell everything..."

She has been ill for many years and knows the harm that this brings.

Mu An Ning's eyebrows twitched and he nodded in agreement.

It is true. There are not many opportunities left for women in this world.

The few women who could become doctors would be squeezed out by men, and the clinics they opened would rarely last long.

Thinking of this, she finally understood a little and expressed her guess: "So Sister Su wants me to assist the doctor and treat women?"

Su Nianci knew that her friend understood immediately, so she nodded with a smile and said, "Ning'er, are you willing to help me with this?"

She added gently, "I'll pay you then, and let me experience what it's like to be your employer."

When Mu An Ning heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

How could she not see that, rather than saying she was helping Su Nianci, it was Su Nianci who was helping her?

Halfway through the journey, Gu Huaizhi suddenly stopped and turned around.

Gu Ji was holding a bunch of things in his hands, and was frightened by Gu Huaizhi so much that he almost lost his balance.

Seeing that Gu Huaizhi looked very unnatural, Gu Ji's heart tensed up and he asked cautiously, "Sir, what happened?"

Could there be an assassin lurking around?

Gu Huaizhi glared at Gu Ji with a strange look on his face, and whispered, "Don't make a sound."

Gu Ji's expression suddenly became uneasy. He glanced sideways and finally fixed his eyes on the two people who were about to get on the carriage.

It turned out to be...Miss Mu and Miss Su.

Young Master wanted to go directly to the Mu Mansion to see Miss Mu this morning, so why is he afraid to see her now?

After a while, Gu Huaizhi suddenly coughed lightly.

Gu Ji understood instantly, tilted his head, and found it a little funny: "Sir, Miss Mu just left."

As expected, only Miss Mu can make the young master so nervous.

Gu Huaizhi's stiff body relaxed instantly, but seeing Gu Ji's sly look, he couldn't help but kick him: "Go."

The moment he turned around, his hand slowly touched his heart.

Fortunately, Mu An Ning didn't see him acting like a nouveau riche.

Having been inspired by Gu Ji and the old man just now, he bought all the men's clothes in the clothing store in one go.

Some are in Gu Ji's hands, and the rest will be delivered to the mansion in a few days.

In the blink of an eye, the day of spring hunting has arrived.

Mu An Ning didn't want to participate, but her grandmother told her to perform well.

In fact, she was not good at archery and had no experience in horse riding. Even if she got there, she could only watch others return with full loads.

How can we perform well?

She had never missed a date in the past, just to catch a glimpse of that man, but now, she no longer had any interest in him.

Inside the carriage, Mu Jingyue's eyes were slightly tentative: "Big sister, can you shoot arrows?"

Mu An Ning raised her eyes and saw Mu Jingyue smiling, obviously looking forward to the hunt.

Mu An Ning withdrew his gaze from the car window and shook his head: "No."

In fact, in order to be looked at with respect by Gu Huaizhi, she had secretly learned it in private, but unfortunately she was completely clueless in this area.

Now she no longer has to embarrass herself by learning something she doesn't like.

After hearing this answer, Mu Jingyue pursed her lips to hide her joy.

Since Mu An Ning doesn't know how to shoot arrows, he definitely can't go on the field.

But she was different. She had studied with Mu Jingrui for quite some time.

With Mu An Ning as a comparison, she will definitely attract the attention of Prince Gu later.
