As soon as Ah Lian entered, she smiled and said, "Who came to your house? He even got you to chase him away."
In Ah Lian’s eyes, Ji Xinhe was really good-tempered. Shulan, the maid, made mistakes all the time, and Ji Xinhe mostly tolerated her, hardly scolding her, and treated others the same way. So today’s scene surprised Ah Lian a bit.
Shulan said irritably, "If it weren’t for shameless people, our lady wouldn’t have had to do this!"
Xin He spoke softly, "Some people need kind words, but for others, it’s a waste of saliva to talk to them; it’s more effective to take action directly."
Ah Lian laughed, "That’s true."
"How is it going? Is there hope for what you were planning?" Xin He asked.
Ah Lian’s expression became more serious, and she nodded, "He said he would take me with him." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Xin He laughed, "What?!"
She really hadn’t expected to encounter such a melodramatic plot. Could this prince, who had grown up in the Imperial Palace, be so impulsive?!
Ah Lian shook her head with a slight laugh, "Anyway, he said that, and it seems somewhat believable. After all, he is a straightforward man."
"I hadn’t expected it, the Great Prince is really a devoted person." Xin He laughed, "It’s interesting, but the situation is such that even if he wants to take you away, it will probably be difficult."
Ah Lian nodded, "Yes, at most it will only delay the time."
After thinking for a while, Xin He said, "It’s not bad to be able to delay for a while. Let’s see how the Song family reacts."
"Okay."
——
At this time, Lady Song had left the Mu family and angrily returned to the prefecture city.
Song Ya Lan had been waiting for a long time, and she could barely suppress the excitement in her heart.
As soon as Lady Song entered, she rushed up, "Mother! How did it go?"
Lady Song glared, "That mean girl is ungrateful, what else?"
Upon hearing this, Song Ya Lan knew that things did not go well. Disappointed and annoyed, she said, "Does she still shamelessly keep the position of Lady Mu? Doesn’t she measure her own weight?! Mother, if you can’t deal with her, you should go find Master Mu! Why did you ask her opinion for such a selfish woman?"
Lady Song naturally felt embarrassed to say that she was beaten out by Ji Xinhe’s servant with a stick, which was too shameful. Therefore, she could only grit her teeth and say, "Master Mu is not in the mansion."
"Then, then... just send someone again! I am a girl from the Song family. Once I marry him infamously, he will have the Song family as his backing in the future. His humble family can certainly prosper soon. He will certainly be pleased! Mother, go quickly!"
Men and women are different: in such matters, women think naturally about their own happiness, while men think about their future. Lady Song originally wanted to use the simplest method. If Ji Xinhe was a weak woman, a few words of ridicule and warning would be enough for her to step down. But Ji Xinhe isn’t, so they have to deal with the men.
Lady Song felt that Master Mu had no reason to refuse this marriage, after all the gap in their family status was too large. Look at the current status of the Song family – if Song Ya Lan hadn’t ruined her reputation, could it be his turn? Song Yalin is matched with a prince!
"Don’t worry, I have a plan for this matter." Lady Song said in a deep voice, "This Ji Xinhe, I am determined to teach her a lesson!"
Song Ya Lan gritted her teeth with hatred, "When I kick her out one day, I will teach her a good lesson!"

Marquis Mu Houchu came back very early today, probably because he had severely beaten Duan Lan. Duan Lan would hardly be able to make a splash in the near future, which saved Marquis Mu a lot of energy.
At this time, it was dusk, and Marquis Mu Houchu rode back with his back to the setting sun. When he just arrived at the door of the mansion and dismounted, the doorman immediately came to lead his horse, "Master, you’re back? The lady is in the back garden taking care of the flowers."
The first sentence Marquis Mu Houchu said every time he came back was "Where is the lady?" The doorman had learned to be clever now, and the first thing he did when Marquis Mu came back was to inform him of the lady’s whereabouts.
Marquis Mu nodded, and was about to walk in, when suddenly a figure rushed out from the corner and jumped in front of him.
"The servant pays his respects to Master Mu!" This child was very polite and bowed.
Marquis Mu looked at the face he didn’t recognize, his expression was as cool as ever, "Who are you?"
"Master Mu probably hasn’t seen me before, I am a servant of the Song family." As the servant spoke, he took out the badge from his waist and handed it to Marquis Mu to prove his identity.
When Marquis Mu heard the words "Song family", his pace halted. He thought it was someone sent by Song Xi, so he unusually asked more patiently, "What’s the matter?"
The face of the little servant lit up. As expected, Master Mu was very familiar with the prestige of the Song family. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be willing to ask what he was doing upon hearing the name of the Song family.
The little servant was thinking of this, and seemed a little more tolerant, being very pleasing, "It turns out that recently, Master Mu has been doing business in flowers and plants. Our fifth young lady fancies flowers and plants, and she made a sachet with begonia flowers a few days ago. She specifically asked me to bring it to Master Mu for appreciation."
The business of flowers and plants was a cover that Ji Xinhe casually came up with for Marquis Mu.
Upon hearing this, Marquis Mu frowned, and his face became stern, "What the heck?!"
His Miss said it?
It’s not someone sent by Song Xi?
Marquis Mu glanced at the little servant coldly, and walked past him without any intention of stopping.
The young servant was so terrified by Marquis Mu’s gaze that his legs went soft, and he almost fell down. If a smart person was there now, they should be able to hear from his words that their young lady is interested in him. But what about Marquis Mu’s attitude? Didn’t he hear it or was it not clear?
The young servant didn’t dare to miss this opportunity, and quickly ran up again, "Master Mu, please wait. Is Master Mu’s flower and plant business going well? It’s always incredibly tough for one person to bear the load alone. If Master Mu is willing, the Song family can certainly lend a hand, it just depends on Master Mu’s sincerity... ah!"
Marquis Mu kicked the little servant five meters away, and commanded Ling Feng coldly, "Order the secret guards, not to allow such people to appear around the Mu mansion."
Ling Feng saluted, "Yes!"
The doormen and maids at the entrance of the mansion were stunned at first, then they seemed very calm, after all, they were used to their master’s temper. This guy dared to take risks, but was only kicked half to death, not to death. He was really lucky, probably to accumulate blessings for the child in their lady’s belly.
