Morning Star

After a pause, he continued, "You may not know this because you have three sons, but I know it very well because I have two daughters. Girls love beauty and they always dress up for any banquet."

"So that's how it is." Mo Hengsong said with a smile.

The four parents burst into laughter.

At this time, a subordinate came in and reported: "Master, the third young lady is back."

The smile on Chu Congnan's face immediately disappeared. Next to him, Xiang Tingqin's smile also disappeared and turned into worry. She glanced at him who was hiding his anger, reached out and quietly pulled his sleeve and gave him a look, suggesting that he should not do anything weird.

He received the look and coughed lightly, saying to his subordinates, "Got it. Go and call the Third Miss and the Second Miss over."

The subordinate took the order and left.

Besides, after a busy night, Chujiu ordered his servants to prepare water for washing as soon as he returned to Taoyuan.

Afterwards, she lay on the table with dark circles under her eyes, listening to Luluo, who was sitting next to her, telling her the rumors outside.

it is as expected.

However, considering that today is her cheap father's birthday, she will put the matter aside for the time being and settle the score with her tomorrow.

This cheap old man really doesn't trust his daughter. She even prepared a gift for his birthday, but it was all in vain.

She had not rested for long when someone reported that Chu Congnan asked her to go to the guest hall.

She responded with a sigh, changed her clothes with the help of Green Rose, and went to the reception hall.

Halfway through the journey, I met an acquaintance, Chu Furong, who was also going to the reception hall.

She smiled and took the initiative to go over and say hello: "Hey, hello, second sister."

"Hello, Third Sister." Chu Furong was stunned for a moment and mechanically replied a few words. After replying, she quickened her pace and left Chu Jiu behind. She looked guilty.

Chujiu looked at her back, pursed his lips, and shrugged.

Then he continued to walk forward. But when he reached a fork in the road, a man ran over from the side and bumped into him.

"Ouch!"

Chujiu and the others fell to the ground.

Chujiu covered his butt and glared at him angrily: "Are you in such a hurry to reincarnate?"

It hurt so much that she felt like her butt was bruised.

It turns out that this person is someone the original owner knew, and had been bullied by the original owner before.

The person who came looked about fourteen or fifteen years old. Her name was Gao Qin, and she was the granddaughter of the Great Elder. She had an older brother named Gao Yashan, whose cultivation was considered the best among the younger generation.

"ah!"

Gao Qin, wearing a green silk dress, squatted on the ground, looking distressed at the broken jade piece that had fallen to the ground when she fell just now. It looked like a jade bracelet.

She ignored Chujiu's words and glared at him angrily: "You broke my..."

But she stopped talking halfway because she found out that the person opposite her was Chujiu. Thinking of Chujiu's bad temper, she dared not to speak anymore.

But she was so angry that tears streamed down her face and she buried her head picking up the fragments.

Chujiu was stunned for a moment and was about to say something when he saw her pick up the jade piece and run away.

Chujiu was left standing there blankly, blinking his eyes.

……

After a while, she finally arrived at the reception hall.

It’s just that… the atmosphere seems a little off.

She looked around and stopped at Mo Xinglan. Mo Xinglan was also looking at her. Their eyes met for a few seconds and then looked away.

She looked at Gao Qin, who was standing next to Xiang Tingqin with her head down. Gao Qin was holding the broken jade piece in her hand.

My goodness, no wonder he ran so fast, it seems like he is the first to complain.

"Why did you come just now?" Chu Congnan started to scold, "You are always the last one to come. Do you feel ashamed to make everyone wait for you?"

Chujiu pursed his lips and muttered quietly: "It's not me who asked you to wait."

It's still early. Why are you in such a hurry? Are you in a hurry to be reborn?

She spoke softly, but everyone present was a cultivator and could hear what she was saying. This immediately made Chu Congnan furious.

He shouted angrily, "Do you dare to speak louder?"

"Okay, talk less." Xiang Tingqin tugged at his sleeve and glared at him.

Only then did he suppress his anger, but glared at Chujiu.

But when he said that, Chujiu felt unhappy. What had she done to deserve his scolding for no reason?

She didn't sleep for a day and a night to prepare a birthday gift for him, and was scolded when she came back. Why was she so unlucky?

But now is not the time to lose her temper, she has to endure it.

Although she kept her head down and said nothing, her hands hanging by her sides were clenched tightly.

"When your brother and sister came, they knew to call for help. Don't you know? Didn't I teach you?" Chu Congnan suppressed the anger in his heart and glared at her.

"Calling someone?"

She looked at the Mohist people sitting nearby.

The young man in the lead looked about the same age as Chu Congnan, and was also extremely handsome, even more handsome than Chu Congnan.

He is somewhat similar to the other two young men, but not much in common with Mo Xinglan.

Mo Xinglan should look more like his mother, right?

The second was a woman who looked about the same age as Xiang Tingqin, with an equally beautiful appearance. She must be the Mo family mistress Su Rong.

But she heard that the head and mistress of the Mo family were about three hundred years old respectively, and their eldest son was about a hundred years old.

Why do I feel a little uncomfortable?

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and exhaled, then greeted them one by one with a fake smile showing her eight teeth: "Hello, Uncle Mo."

Mo Hengsong smiled and said, "It's okay. We are all familiar with each other and are almost like a family. Uncle doesn't care about etiquette that much."

"That won't work?" She smiled with a hint of helplessness, "My dad will definitely scold me again then."

"Hey, you!" Chu Congnan was furious.

She glanced at him and quickly said to Su Rong in a respectful manner, "Hello, Aunt Su."

Su Rong smiled gently: "Okay, Xiaojiu is fine too."

Chujiu smiled and said to Mo Yan again: "Hello, Brother Mo Yan."

"Hello, Xiaojiu." Mo Yan also smiled, but he felt awkward inside.

Mo Mingjie, who was beside him, saw that Chujiu was the next one to call him, so he quickly sat up straight and put on a superior attitude.

She has come to this day. She bullied him before, but now she has to call him brother.

However, Chujiu didn't even look at him and came straight to Mo Xinglan.

"You..." Mo Mingjie looked at her in disbelief as she walked in front of Mo Xinglan.

Chujiu completely ignored him, instead he looked up at Mo Xinglan with a smile on his face, raised the corners of his mouth, and said crisply: "Black-hearted... No... Brother Xinglan is good."

Fortunately, she made up for it in time. She hoped that he didn’t hear what happened before.

However, it is really strange to call a kid who is two years younger than you "brother".

Mo Xinglan raised his beautiful eyes slightly, his eyes were light and a little cold, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. He replied nonchalantly: "Very good."

"..." The smile on her face froze and she shuddered unconsciously.

What is good? What is good? It feels like what he said is "very good" instead of "very good"?

After coming to his senses, he gave a dry laugh and quickly looked away, moving away from him.

Chu Congnan noticed that she didn't call Mo Mingjie. Confused, he asked, "Why didn't you call Mingjie?"

Chujiu was a little impatient and secretly sighed. But the relationship between the two families was there, and the elders were there, so she had to put on a fake smile and looked at Mo Mingjie: "Brother Mingjie."

Mo Mingjie crossed his arms and chuckled smugly. Then he put on a generous look and said, "It's okay. Sister Jiu is still young after all. I won't argue with her."

The ninth day of the lunar month: "..."

Look how capable he is. Just give him some color and he can open a dyeing room.

Chujiu rolled his eyes at him and turned to look at Chu Congnan: "Um, do you have anything else to say? If not, I'll leave first."

"Leave? Where to go? Did I ask you to come here to let you leave?" Chu Congnan said unhappily.

The ninth day of the lunar month: "..."

"I won't hold you accountable for yesterday's incident. Let's talk about today's incident. Fortunately, your uncle and aunt Mo are here. Let them judge for us." Chu Congnan glared at her sternly, then looked at Mo Hengsong and the others.

Sure enough, what is supposed to come will come.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked up at Gao Qin. Thinking of the scene on the road before, and looking at Chu Congnan's look of interrogating a criminal, she said speechlessly: "Anyway, you have already determined that I was wrong, what else is there to judge?"

Judge for the right? He already believed that it was her fault, so what's the point of judging for the right?

"You!" Chu Congnan stood up and pointed at her angrily, "Is this your attitude of admitting your mistakes?"

"I'm not wrong! I'm not admitting my mistake." She glared back.

Chu Congnan was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "You still think you are right!"

"I didn't do anything wrong, why are you ignoring me?" Chujiu was not afraid at all.

"puff!"

As soon as she finished speaking, an inappropriate chuckle was heard.

Chujiu turned his head and glared at the laughter, just in time to see the second young master of the Mo family, Mo Mingjie, covering his lips as if to hold back a laugh. The eldest young master of the Mo family, Mo Yan, who was sitting next to him, was covering his forehead with a headache.

The original owner had been taken to the Mo family when he was a child, and he bullied Mo Mingjie a lot during that time, so the two of them never got along.

Besides, Mo Mingjie is not a good guy either. He has often bullied others by taking advantage of his power.

Mo Mingjie also realized that he was wrong at this time, cleared his throat and laughed dryly at Chujiu. It looked like he was making fun of him.

Chujiu narrowed her eyes slightly, with a smile on her lips but without any smile. Yes, she learned from Mo Xinglan.

She looked as if to say: Just wait, you're in big trouble.

When Mo Mingjie saw her gaze, he seemed to recall the bad past. He shuddered and quickly adjusted his expression.

Chujiu secretly rolled his eyes, and the smile on his face disappeared immediately.

At this moment, a familiar and pleasant voice came to my mind, but with a hint of ridicule: "You have learned it quite well."

When she heard the voice, she recalled the unpleasant past events not long ago. She shuddered secretly and glanced at Mo Xinglan who was sitting leisurely next to her.
