Chapter 112 Xie Guanlan is clearly deliberately shielding Wen Xingluo
Mu Zhiqiu believed that Xie Guanlan and Wen Xingluo were just half-time siblings and should not have any feelings for each other. It was obvious that Wen Xingluo's deep scheming and powerful means had deceived him, which made him treat her with so much pity.
And now, she has exposed Wen Xingluo's false face and prevented the Xie family from being deceived further.
She should be regarded by Xie Guanlan as the benefactor of the Zhenbei Palace.
She suppressed her expectations, held her breath, and waited for Xie Guanlan to get angry.
But Xie Guanlan still fed the medicine slowly and calmly.
He scooped up a spoonful of brown medicine with a white porcelain spoon, blew on it gently, and then brought it to Wen Xingluo's lips.
Mu Zhiqiu frowned, "Commander-in-Chief?"
Xie Guanlan said calmly, "I heard that Miss Mu has studied the art of medicine. Don't you know that not all injuries are external? Ningning is delicate and frail, and is often worried and sick. I'm afraid the heart palpitations may have been caused by the fall."
Mu Zhiqiu: “…”
What he meant was that Wen Xingluo deliberately fell lightly and broke his own heart? !
Is she made of paper?!
He was clearly deliberately shielding Wen Xingluo.
But she couldn't refute a single word...
Wen Xingluo sipped the wine carefully from Xie Guanlan's hand.
What was scooped up from the spoon was not bitter medicine juice, but sweet brown sugar water.
She slowly raised her eyes and met Xie Guanlan's gaze.
Xie Guanlan's narrow eyes were indifferent, as if asking her whether she was satisfied with his cooperation.
Wen Xingluo curved her almond-shaped eyes at him calmly.
She was very satisfied.
She pretended to cough twice, pressed the corner of her lips with a handkerchief, and looked provocatively at Mu Zhiqiu with a smile, passing by Xie Guanlan.
After catching the anger in Mu Zhiqiu's eyes, the girl curled her cherry lips coldly.
No wonder my father, brother and sister are so keen on pursuing power.
The feeling of blatantly bullying others is really good.
…
Mu Zhiqiu returned to the dormitory and smashed the entire set of ice crackle gold-painted tea sets.
The maids knelt on the ground with their heads lowered, holding their breath and not daring to speak.
Mu Zhiqiu brushed his sleeves and sat down. He stared at the sky outside the window for a long time and ordered, "Go and invite Wen Yueyin."
When Wen Yueyin came over, the dormitory had already been cleaned. Mu Zhiqiu was sitting behind the piano table, playing the piano with his hands. He seemed to be immersed in it and did not even respond to her greeting.
Wen Yueyin couldn't help but secretly dislike it.
She is just the daughter of a prefect. I heard that her father made a living by weaving straw mats when he was young. The family came from poverty. I don’t know what she is pretending to be, as if she is very artistic!
She coughed twice and raised her voice, "Miss Mu?"
Mu Zhiqiu pressed the strings of the zither, "I heard that although you and Wen Xingluo are sisters, your relationship is not good."
"That's not true." Wen Yueyin couldn't figure out what she meant, so she pretended to be weak and innocent as usual. "Xingluo and I have always had a deep sisterly love, but she's been a little rebellious recently, so the rumors spread. In this world, how could an older sister not like her younger sister?"
"Really? I actually hate Wen Xingluo so much that I want to kick her out of the Zhenbei Palace."
Wen Yueyin's eyes lit up, and then she smiled as if to hide it, "My sister has a bad temper, and it's not uncommon for her to offend people. I didn't expect that this time she would offend Miss Mu. I apologize to you on my sister's behalf."
Mu Zhiqiu watched her bow and saluted, and said meaningfully, "I don't know what tricks she used to make the commander-in-chief love her so much. If only there was a good way to make the commander-in-chief hate her..."
Wen Yueyin observed her expression carefully and saw that she truly hated Wen Xingluo, and her heart beat faster.
She also didn't want Wen Xingluo to stay in the Zhenbei Palace all the time and put herself above her in everything.
If Wen Xingluo was driven out of the palace, he would definitely become the laughing stock of the entire Shu County.
Wen Yueyin suddenly remembered that in her previous life, she risked her life to climb onto Xie Guanlan's bed.
At that time, Xie Guanlan looked at her as if he wanted to kill her, which frightened her so much that her heart and liver were broken and her legs went weak. After being thrown out of Canglang Pavilion, her legs were trembling and she crawled back to her own yard with her hands.
If Wen Xingluo also climbed into Xie Guanlan's bed, she might have to crawl back to Rongcheng with her own hands!
Wen Yueyin suppressed the smile on her lips and said softly, "The commander-in-chief is very chaste and hates being touched by women. If my sister develops any inappropriate thoughts about him, or even puts them into action, such as climbing into his bed, he will definitely despise her. Maybe even ruin her reputation and get kicked out of the Zhenbei Palace!"
After she finished speaking, she covered her mouth in fear. "Oh, look at me, how could I say anything?! I hate myself..."
Mu Zhiqiu glanced at her with disdain.
I thought Wen Xingluo was very pretentious, but I didn't expect her sister to be even more pretentious than her.
She maintained a polite appearance. "Of course I know that Miss Wen is not a malicious person. I felt a strong connection with her from the moment I met her. Tomorrow is my coming-of-age ceremony. I wonder if you would be willing to do me the honor of attending it?"
Doesn’t Wen Xingluo hate her brothers and sisters?
She insisted on inviting him to the banquet, which only made things more difficult for her.
After Wen Yueyin left happily, Mu Zhiqiu plucked the strings of the zither.
Due to her status, Wen Xingluo naturally wouldn't like Xie Guanlan. But if she fanned the flames behind the scenes, drugged Wen Xingluo, and made her climb into Xie Guanlan's bed while unconscious, causing everyone in the world to misunderstand that she had bad intentions towards Xie Guanlan...
Presumably, both Xie Guanlan and the Zhenbei Palace would hate her to the core, right?
A sinister glint flashed across Mu Zhiqiufeng's eyes.
Since she has decided not to be a knife of the imperial court anymore and no longer be sucked dry by the royal family like Du Guanghong, then her Mu family must get both Xie Guanlan and the forces behind him!
If Wen Xingluo dares to block her way, don't blame her for being cruel!
The next day.
Today is Mu Zhiqiu's coming-of-age ceremony, and the prefectural mansion has been bustling since early morning.
