The legitimate daughter returns, and the princess goes crazy

As soon as the sky was slightly bright, Mu Yan was called up early to wash and pack.

After breakfast, she deliberately turned around in front of the mirror and seemed very satisfied with her outfit today.

Today is Madam Lin’s birthday. In order to avoid stealing the limelight from the host family, she specially changed her usual favorite red dress into a magnolia-colored green silk dress.

The fabric of the dress is as light and transparent as smoke, and it is tied with a jade belt around the waist, which makes her slender figure look even more graceful. The cuffs are ingeniously changed into a strap style, and a silver lotus is embroidered on them, making her look heroic and luxurious.

Because the Lin family and the Mu family usually have little interaction, the elders of the Mu family did not receive an invitation, so only Mu Yan went to the banquet today.

But surprisingly, when she arrived at the door, Mu Xue was already waiting there.

When Mu Xue saw Mu Yan, she quickly came over and said with a smile, "Big sister."

"Second sister? Why are you here?"

Mu Yan raised an eyebrow and asked, her tone cold and distant.

But Mu Xue didn't care at all and still looked gentle and naive.

"Big sister, I also received an invitation from the Lin family, so I am waiting for you here. I want to go with you. After all, we are both girls from the Mu family. If we go separately, it will inevitably cause others to talk about us."

Mu Yan smiled without saying anything and walked straight towards the carriage. She didn't care what others said or thought.

Mu Xue's invitation should have been given to her by Lin Yanyan. If it was Lin Shishi, then the invitation she sent at that time should have been written for two people.

Lin Yanyan's purpose of inviting her there was probably to let her watch a good show, but unfortunately these people will be disappointed today.

Mu Xue was not annoyed when she saw that Mu Yan ignored her, and continued to follow her slowly.

Mu Yan stopped, turned around and said, "Ling Yu and Shi Ying are going with me today, so one carriage won't fit them all. Second sister, you should get your own carriage."

Mu Xue bit her thin lips and wanted to say something.

But Mu Yan did not give her a chance to speak again. He turned around and got on the carriage. His back was as cold as the moon, piercing his bones.

Mu Xue's personal maid stood up for her and said indignantly, "Second Miss, the eldest lady is really going too far. Can't the maid just sit outside in the carriage? She is deliberately looking for an excuse to reject you."

Mu Xue immediately scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, my elder sister has her own plans, you must not stir up trouble between us sisters."

Then he slowly walked towards his carriage.

On the other side, Lin Mansion.

"Ningxiang, you have prepared this banquet very thoroughly, that's great."

Old Madam Lin was very happy when she saw the Lin Mansion was decorated with lights and the servants were busy but working in an orderly manner.

Meng was delighted and said modestly, "Mother, as long as you are satisfied."

"Today, you should take this opportunity to help your two daughters choose a good husband, especially Shishi. This child has a miserable life. Her mother died early, and her newly engaged husband suffered a misfortune. As a stepmother, you should make a good plan for her and let outsiders see how you, as a stepmother, act."

Old Madam Lin said earnestly that she knew that Meng had always minded Lin Shishi's existence, so she would warn her from time to time not to be too obviously partial, and warned her that outsiders were also watching how she, the stepmother, did things.

Meng looked respectful, but a hint of impatience flashed in her eyes: "Mother, don't worry, I have long regarded Shishi as my own daughter, and I will definitely find a good marriage for her."

Madam Lin nodded and reminded again: "Let the two children help you today, and take this opportunity to let the ladies take a good look at them."

"Yes, Mother, I understand."

Mrs. Meng rubbed the handkerchief in her sleeve vigorously. How could that little bitch be compared with her daughter? She wanted me to find a good marriage for her? She was dreaming. She was only worthy of marrying the lowest person.

After today, this little bitch will disappear from under my nose.

After Madam Lin left, Mrs. Meng had Lin Yanyan and Lin Shishi called over and said, "Yanyan, you and mother will welcome the distinguished guests today."

Then he asked quietly, "Have you memorized the list that Mother asked you to memorize and the preferences of each lady?"

Many distinguished guests will come today, so Meng specifically asked Lin Yanyan to remember their identities and preferences in advance, so as to leave a good impression on the ladies.

The love of the parents is far-reaching.

Meng spent a lot of energy and money to get the list, but everything she did was worth it for her daughter to marry into a wealthy family in the future.

Lin Yanyan gave her a reassuring look: "Mom, don't worry, I have already engraved it in my mind, and I will definitely not make any mistakes today."

The two smiled at each other, showing the deep love between mother and daughter.

After explaining everything to Lin Yanyan, Meng turned to look at Lin Shishi and said with a wry smile, "Shishi, go and help your mother to see if there is anything she can do to help in the kitchen. The dishes for this banquet cannot go wrong at all. Your mother has entrusted you with the most important task."

"Yes, mother."

Lin Shishi replied calmly. She never expected Meng to treat her as her own daughter. She just hoped that she would not do anything vicious to her again.

"Princess Pingting is here! The second young lady of the Mu family is here!" the Lin family's doorman shouted.

After hearing the name, Lin Shishi's face lit up with joy and she went to the door to greet Mu Yan in person.

Mu Yan specifically asked Ling Yu to open the gift box in front of the Lin Residence's gate in order to give Lin Shishi some face.

Inside the brocade box is a full green jade Buddha statue, which is icy and translucent. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that it is the best jade.

The guests passing by could not help but be attracted and stop to take a look.

Mu Yan smiled and said, "I know that the old lady worships Buddha all the year round, so I specially picked a good one from Linglongfang."

Lin Shishi was very touched: "Yan'er, you are so polite. Grandma will definitely like this gift."

She knew that Mu Yan gave her such an expensive gift just to show her support.

Whether it was a coincidence or intentional, Wang Peiru arrived the next second. She snorted coldly after seeing the gift sent by Mu Yan.

Supported by two maids, she walked towards the Lin Mansion with great pomp and ceremony.

At this time, Mrs. Meng also came out to greet him in a flattering manner, "Hey, Peiru, your aunt has finally seen you coming."

When Mu Yan came just now, she was not so enthusiastic and pretended to be busy and did not greet her.

If Mu Yan was just an ordinary junior, there would be no need for the elders to come and greet her, but she is a princess with a title, so it was really unreasonable for Meng to do this.

But because of Madam Lin's birthday party, Mu Yan couldn't say anything.

Wang Peiru was very satisfied with Meng's performance. She looked at Mu Yan provocatively. So what if she was a princess? How could she compare with her, the future crown princess? She stroked her lower abdomen with her hand and a look of relief appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Lin Shishi patted Mu Yan's hand, signaling her not to mind, and then warmly invited her into the main hall.
