Cining Palace

"My son, please see your mother!"

The Queen Mother nodded to the Emperor and Jun Feimo, then looked at Jun Feimo, "Why didn't you come to the palace to see me the first time you came back?"

"I have something to deal with." Jun Feimo's voice was light, like frost in autumn, cold and clear.

The Queen Mother frowned slightly, obviously not satisfied with his answer: "You just came back, what could be the matter? Send someone to the palace to tell me, but you are not available?"

There was a barely perceptible fluctuation in Jun Feimo's eyes. He recalled the night in the back mountain of Yuchan Temple, which was his humiliation, and he couldn't help but shiver all over.

"I was just scratched by a cat, and then the cat ran away." Jun Feimo collected his thoughts and put away the cold air emanating from his body. His low voice echoed in the hall.

The Queen Mother and the Emperor were both stunned, and the Queen Mother was even more surprised: "Cat?"

The emperor frowned tightly, he seemed to think that this cat was not simple. He had just clearly noticed the coldness emanating from his royal brother's body. He was curious about what kind of "cat" could make his royal brother's emotions fluctuate.

"Is it really just a 'cat'?" the emperor asked in a deep voice.

Jun Feimo shook his head and suppressed his anger: "Well, it's just a wild cat."

But there was a complex emotion in his eyes, which was deeply imprinted in the memory of that night.

The Queen Mother did not seem to believe him completely. She changed her mind and brought up another matter: "Let's not talk about other things. It's time for your Zhan Prince's Mansion to have a mistress. Now that you are back, it's time for your Zhan Prince's Mansion to have someone. I think Qi Simiao, the legitimate granddaughter of Duke Qi, is a good choice. She is both virtuous and talented. You see..."

Before the Queen Mother finished her words, she was interrupted by Jun Feimo: "Mother, it is better not to match people up randomly, otherwise, I cannot guarantee what I will do."

The queen dowager was obviously dissatisfied with Jun Feimo's answer: "What do you mean by matchmaking? It's because of you that you are reluctant to marry the princess. I am worried about you. And you are threatening me? Who am I doing this for?" There was a hint of blame and helplessness in the queen dowager's voice. She looked at her most beloved son with mixed feelings.

Jun Feimo was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Mother, I have my own plans." Although his voice was still cold, there was a hint of firmness in it.

The Queen Mother looked at him, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, and finally she could only sigh and said no more.

The emperor said: "Mother, when my brother meets his ideal woman, he will ask for marriage himself without you urging him. Don't be anxious."

The Queen Mother rolled her eyes at the Emperor and said, "Hmph! Who knows how long it will take for him to meet his ideal person."

Afterwards, the Queen Mother had lunch prepared, and Jun Feimo and the Emperor had lunch with the Queen Mother in the Cining Palace.

The old lady rubbed her eyes, looking a little tired. Seeing this, Murong Zixi hurriedly stood up and supported her, "Grandma, you must be tired in the afternoon, why don't you take a nap?"

The old lady nodded, her eyes full of reluctance, "Xi'er, you must come to the Marquis' Mansion to see me often."

Murong Zixi felt a pang of pain when she heard this, but she quickly adjusted her mood, held the old lady's hand, and said firmly: "Grandma, don't worry, Xier will come to the Loyalty Marquis Mansion often to visit you in the future."

The old lady felt relieved and lay down on the bed. Her eyelids gradually became heavy and soon she fell into a deep sleep.

Murong Zixi gently covered the old lady with a thin blanket, her movements were so gentle as if she was afraid to disturb the kind old lady.

At this time, Yun Yubing walked in from the outer room. She leaned over and glanced at her grandmother on the bed. Seeing that she had fallen asleep, she glared at Murong Zixi and said in a playful and serious tone, "I heard you just now in the outer room. You said that you would come to our Loyalty Marquis Mansion often from now on. If you break your promise, I will go to the General's Mansion to find you and teach you a lesson."

Murong Zixi smiled slightly. She now knew Yun Yubing's temper, so she responded gently: "Don't worry, cousin. My Zhongyi Marquis Mansion is my maternal grandfather's home. I will come here often in the future."

Yun Yubing nodded with satisfaction, "That's good."

The two of them left the room and walked outside. Yun Yubing and her cousin hit it off right away and she was reluctant to let her leave. "What's so good about the General's Mansion that's worth going back? Wouldn't it be better for you to stay in the Marquis' Mansion?"

"Cousin, of course the general's mansion is not as good as the marquis's mansion."

"Then why did you go back?"

Murong Zixi's eyes were deep, "Cousin, I have something else to do. Besides, some people are missing the dowry left by mother. If I don't go back, I'm afraid that Ziwei Pavilion will be empty."

Also, if she really has something to do tonight, Murong Baixue? Dare to drug her? She must be prepared for her revenge.

As for the suffering that the original owner had endured, she had to make sure that those in the General's Mansion who bullied the original owner would get what they deserved. After these things were dealt with, she would move out of the General's Mansion.

Hmm? It's time to buy a house outside and get ready.

Yun Yubing didn't try to persuade him after hearing that. She had also heard about the General's Mansion from her mother and others. Yun Yubing sent Murong Zixi to the gate of the mansion and waited until Murong Zixi walked away before going in.

The busy streets are crowded with people and the shouts of various vendors can be heard one after another.

"Miss, are we going back to the general's mansion now?" asked Nanny Li respectfully.

Murong Zixi shook her head slightly, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "It's still early, let's go shopping. I want to buy a house, do you know where I can find a suitable one?"

Xiao Cui opened her mouth in surprise when she heard this: "Young Miss wants to buy a house?"

Murong Zixi nodded.

Nanny Li thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Miss, let the real estate agent handle the purchase of the house. You don't need to go there in person. Let Xiao Cui choose. When she has made her choice, you can go and see if you are satisfied."

Murong Zixi nodded slightly to show her agreement.

However, at this moment, a teasing voice broke the silence: "Hey, where did this little girl come from? She looks pretty from behind."

Murong Zixi stopped, turned around and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a young man in gorgeous clothes, looking Murong Zixi up and down with a pair of peach blossom eyes.

This person is none other than the famous dandy in the capital, Mo Xuanyi. When he saw Murong Zixi turning around, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes: "Huh? You are actually the silly girl from the general's mansion. Ha, did you know that I am going to Baihua Tower today and deliberately wait for me here? Silly girl, don't you see your status? How could I possibly like you?"

Murong Zixi's expression did not change when she heard this. She just replied calmly, "Same here."

These four words hit Mo Xuanyi's heart like a heavy hammer. He widened his eyes and looked at Murong Zixi in disbelief. He had never seen Murong Zixi like this before. The silliness in her clear eyes was gone, replaced by a sharpness and determination.

"You silly girl, what did you say? Wait!" Mo Xuanyi pointed at her in shock, "Are you not silly anymore?"

Murong Zixi glanced at him coldly and said lightly: "You are stupid." After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, but was blocked by Mo Xuanyi.

"You are not allowed to leave!" Mo Xuanyi's voice was filled with anger and unwillingness, "You silly girl, what did you just say? Want to play hard to get with this prince? Even if you are not stupid anymore, so what? This prince will not fall for your tricks! But since you are not stupid anymore, you can go back with this prince and be a concubine or something."

Murong Zixi's face instantly turned cold, she stared at Mo Xuanyi coldly, a hint of chill in her clear eyes. She clearly remembered that the original owner was the one Mo Xuanyi asked the servant to bring, and the original owner's scumbag father was furious and beat the original owner severely.

Although the original owner had not been severely beaten, the poison in his body would have prevented him from living long, but at least he was safe now. It was that severe beating that led to his tragic death.

Now that she has taken over this body and has met this guy, and he has tried to stop her, she will teach him a lesson.
