Xiao Wan was dragged away, and her crying and screaming gradually disappeared in the inner courtyard. Mu Chen looked at Mu Yun and asked, "Where is the third lady?"

The maidservant beside her whispered, "Mrs. San is invited to attend the boat banquet."

Mu Chen asked: "Whose invitation is this?"

The maid whispered: "Lu family"

Mu Jinan actually hoped that Mu Yun would marry Lu Mingxu so that she would not team up with Li Heng to deal with her, but she didn't know that Li Heng had already taken action.

Mu Chen said: "The affairs of the inner court in the mansion will be temporarily handed over to Nanny Li for management."

After Mu Jinan was settled, she and Meiluo were the only ones left in the room. Meiluo whispered:

"Madam, why did you plead for the stepmother just now? When she gets to the farm, those tenants will definitely make her suffer. Why not use their help?"

Mu Jinan let out a long sigh: "Once she goes to the countryside, she will be picked up by her parents."

"It's better to keep it under your nose, maybe it will be of greater use."

When Xiao Wan was young, she liked to act delicate and weak. She also acted delicate and weak once.

"Her big show is yet to come, it's not too late to kill her after watching it"

Meiluo said, "Now that I'm back, my wife can eat freshly made cakes by Li Mama every day. She no longer has to make so many fruits and send them to Xuanzhou, which always break and rot."

Mu Jinan nodded and said, "Talk to Nanny Li in a few days and don't let father worry too much." She was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep after drinking the medicine.

The breeze is gentle, the moon is bright, and the stars in the night sky illuminate the pedestrians on the shore. The boats on the river add exquisite beauty to the scene, and the lights are just coming on.

The women smiled as beautifully as flowers, and the men drank wine from jade cups and recited poems.

"Linging in a drunken dream in Chang'an City, soaring straight up to the sky and ascending to the palace, not longing for the jade liquor of Yaochi, but enjoying the sound of jade flutes in the world"

The man drank it all in one gulp and became one with the singing and dancing.

The dancers are dressed in red and green, their jade feet lightly turning, their veils floating in the air, and the jade flutes and pipa playing elegantly, all of which demonstrate the peace and tranquility of the prosperous country.

Everyone cheered and applauded with admiration:

"it is good"

Mu Yun's jade-like fingers gently waved the silk fan embroidered with crane patterns. Her face was slightly red. She looked around, as if waiting for someone.

Qiuyu, the maid beside her, whispered, "Third Madam, I just saw Mr. Lu over there."

Mu Yun stood up and looked at the scenery on the shore, while deliberately coming to Lu Mingxu's side. When the men saw Mu Yun, they understood what she meant and stood up and left.

Lu Mingxu took her hand and saw her almond-shaped eyes turning slightly, and he couldn't help but become obsessed with her. Mu Yun said angrily:

"My dear, when can you come to my house to propose marriage?"

Lu Mingxu took her fan and felt that she was very soft:

"That day, I told my mother about it, and she told me to wait until General Mu came back."

At this moment, Mu Yun didn't know that her father had already returned to Chang'an at full speed, so she said coquettishly:

"My dear, you must promise me that you will only love Yun'er and never take a concubine."

Lu Mingxu was unhappy and perfunctorily said:

"Yun'er is as beautiful as a fairy, I will never let you down"

Seeing that no one was paying attention, he whispered:

"Yun'er, I want you"

Mu Yun turned pale and lowered her eyes shyly. Lu Mingxu approached her and his hot breath covered her lips.

Suddenly, she thought to herself:

"If the marriage changes, I will be embarrassed."

Then he pushed Lu Mingxu away and ran out. He calmed down. Lu Mingxu was a little angry because his wish was not fulfilled, so he threw the fan in his hand into the lake.

When Mu Yun came to the boat and turned around, she accidentally bumped into a man. She almost fell down. The man gently grabbed her arm, supported her, and whispered:

"Madam, be careful"

This person is Li Heng.

Mu Yun raised her eyes slightly and saw that Li Heng had handsome features, a handsome face, and a hint of melancholy in his eyes. He looked even more elegant and gentle in a light blue robe.

Qiu Yu, the maid beside her, said quickly: "Madam..."

Li Heng let go and said, "I was rude just now, I hope you can forgive me."

Qiuyu asked, "Excuse me, which family are you from?"

Ce'an, who was standing behind Li Heng, bowed and said, "This is His Royal Highness Prince Rui."

Mu Yun quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Prince Rui."

"I just offended King Rui, please forgive me, King Rui."

Li Heng looked at Mu Yun tenderly, as if he had fallen in love at first sight.

"May I ask your name?"

Mu Yun's eyes sparkled with stars, and she smiled shyly: "I am Mu Yun, my father is General Huaihua."

Li Heng immediately praised her. He knew Mu Yun's ending and had carefully selected this chess piece himself:

"So she is the general's daughter. When she is still, she is like a lotus flower emerging from the water, cool and detached from the world. Her smile is as gorgeous as the morning glow. She is truly a rare beauty in Chang'an City."

Mu Yun lost her mind because of his praise. She pursed her lips and smiled:

"King Rui's praise"

Li Heng was somewhat hesitant, playing hard to get:

"I have something else to do, goodbye."

Mu Yun saw him leave. Although Prince Rui had been away for many years, his appearance and temperament were no less than those of the princes. He was much more handsome than Lu Mingxu. She couldn't help but feel regretful.

It was midnight, and in the General's Mansion, the east wing of Xiyue Hall was extremely quiet. Mu Jinan was half asleep and startled by the sound near the window. She immediately said alertly:

"Who? Come out"

She stood up, picked up the Tao Yu sword beside her pillow, walked carefully to the window, held her breath, and looked out, only to see a kitten running by.

She breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head, thinking that someone was going to harm her as soon as she returned home.

Just as Mu Jinan was about to turn around, someone behind her gently tapped her shoulder. She kicked back with her right foot, but the person dodged.

She turned and punched the man in the stomach. He caught the fist with his right hand, clenched her fist, and whispered, "It's me."

Mu Jinan had never thought that he would come to her boudoir, and hurriedly pulled at her clothes to cover her face:

"My Lord, why are you here?"

In the dim room, the moonlight shone on his face through the gauze window. Li Huaijin's eyes flashed. Bai Ri had already given her the best medicine in the palace.

Seeing her as shy as a little rabbit, ripples appeared in my heart:

"I am a little worried, come and take a look"

"Does the wound still hurt?"

Mu Jinan immediately understood his thoughts and felt that he was a bit clingy:

"I'm fine, my stepmother has been locked up."

"How could a normally serious prince visit his lady's bedroom at night?"

Li Huaijin pursed his lips slightly, his eyes full of fireflies, watching her in the dark night:

"If I want to see you in the future, it won't be as convenient as it was in the palace before."

Mu Jinan smiled and said, "Our dynasty is open-minded. It is common for men and women to meet on weekdays. If you want to see me, just send someone to tell me."

Li Huaijin was reluctant to leave. It felt like months since he had seen her for only a few hours. Ever since she left the palace, Li Huaijin had been waiting for the night to come. He wanted to come and see her, but he was also worried about her wounds, so he asked her to rest early.

"Then you should take good care of yourself. General Mu is a skilled martial artist. If he is discovered, I am afraid I will be beaten by mistake."

Mu Jinan said: "My Lord, go back."

After Li Huaijin left, Mu Jinan lost all desire to sleep. He heard a heavy sound of a door opening from Shuyueju, the west wing.

It turned out that after Mu Yun returned home, she learned that Xiao Wan was locked up. She came to the inner hall Qingyue Hall crying and knocked on the door, saying:

"Father, I made a mistake, please forgive me."

"Father, you were away from home all year round, and Mother took care of all the family affairs. I still remember that year when you lost the battle and were reprimanded by His Majesty, it was Mother who ran around for you in Chang'an. She didn't have any credit, but she worked hard."

"Please let my mother out and put her under house arrest. Yun'er will definitely persuade her to mend her ways."

Mu Jinan saw that she was not as reckless and ignorant as Xiao Wan, and knew how to bow her head and submit. She observed Mu Yun carefully.

Every word he said was well-measured. He did not avoid Xiao Wan's mistakes and was willing to take responsibility. His old feelings also touched Mu Chen's heart, which showed some ability.

Mu Yun kowtowed one after another on the stone steps. Suddenly, she fainted. Qiuyu, the maid beside her, shouted:

"Third lady, what's wrong with you?"

"Sir, Miss San's forehead is covered in blood and she has fainted on the ground."

Mu Chen immediately opened the door and hurried out, saying worriedly:

"Yun'er, wake up, go call the doctor."

Mu Jinan closed the window, a smile appeared on his lips, and he felt that Mu Yun was still a match for him.

"I have to think of a way to make my father trust her less and turn the passive situation into active one. I can't wait for her to attack me."
