Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

In the Liu family compound, Liu Xu asked He Lei and the others to put the dead tree in the mushroom house.

"Ask Uncle Gui to watch over it and remember to water it. It's more valuable than the mushrooms in our backyard."

"Got it, miss!"

The elders were all in the main room, waiting for them to come back for dinner.

In order not to keep everyone waiting for too long, the two of them simply washed up, changed their clothes and went over.

They had to change, both of them were covered in mud.

Mu Lingxuan did not go alone, but waited for Liu Xu to come out together.

The two of them walked into the main room hand in hand. The elders in the room looked at the two figures, one tall and one short, who came in. Ignoring their heights, the two seemed to be a good match.

"Junior sister, junior brother, you are finally back!"

Han Duoduo's clear voice broke everyone's gaze. Mr. Xu and his wife looked at each other, with satisfaction in their eyes.

When the two were hesitating whether to salute or not, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, Huaijin is being rude!"

Mu Lingxuan said this while performing the salute as a junior.

The smiles on Mr. Xu and the old lady's faces deepened, and Xu Ruolan's eyes also flashed with satisfaction. Only Liu Donglai had a complicated expression, seeming satisfied but also picky.

Ye Miaoyin glanced around, and suddenly realized something, with a smile flashing in her eyes.

"Stop being so polite. We are all family here. You must be hungry. Come and sit down!" Old Madam Xu looked at Mu Lingxuan with a loving face.

"Junior sister, have you noticed that they are all acting strangely?" Han Duoduo whispered in Liu Xu's ear.

Upon hearing this, Mu Lingxuan glanced at the two of them out of the corner of his eye.

Liu Xu nodded in agreement and pulled Han Duoduo towards their seat.

It was indeed strange, but it didn't seem to be wrong. Liu Xu just attributed it to the fact that her father was now in a higher position than Mu Lingxuan.

Mu Lingxuan didn't say much and sat down next to Liu Donglai.

There were only two empty seats at the table, so the two of them sat next to each other. Liu Xu didn't think anything of it, as it was the right way to sit according to their seniority and age.

After the meal, the atmosphere was obviously extremely harmonious, but Liu Xu always felt that something was not right.

After thinking about it, it seemed that apart from the fact that grandparents were a little bit enthusiastic towards Mu Lingxuan, there seemed to be nothing wrong.

Thinking about how her family had been very warm and polite to Mu Lingxuan before, Liu Xu shook her head, thinking that she was overthinking it.

After the meal, everyone sat and chatted to help digest the food.

They knew the result of what happened in the capital, so they were all curious about what happened.

Liu Donglai and Mu Lingxuan picked out some things that could be said, and just passed over the bloody scenes.

Upon learning that the Fifth Prince Xiao Rui had left with his men and had not been heard from since, Liu Xu had an inexplicable feeling that things were not over yet.

But she didn't say it out loud. After all, who would believe intuition if she told it to them?

"By the way, I think the people from Sinong Temple will be here in a few days, and I'm afraid I'll have to stay at home for a long time then." Liu Donglai said.

Mu Lingxuan interrupted and said, "That's not necessary. We can just find a house in the village to arrange for them. They are here to do business, so we should just handle it in a fair and impartial manner."

"Is this... not a good idea? Most of the empty houses in the village are made of earthen tiles?" Xu Ruolan was a little worried.

Most of the houses in Liujia Village have been rebuilt, and some of the old houses are still intact. The villagers were reluctant to tear them down, so they left them there.

After all, they came from the capital, and they were worried that people would accuse them of being negligent.

"Mother-in-law... ahem... aunt, don't worry." Mu Lingxuan almost called out the word mother-in-law without paying attention. Fortunately, he braked in time, but this also attracted Liu Donglai's suspicious look.

Under pressure from his future father-in-law, Mu Lingxuan quickly continued:

"The highest-ranking person here is the sixth-rank Sinong Temple Assistant. I've asked around. His surname is Meng and his given name is Hexuan. He comes from a poor family. He is a practical person. The other two are just his assistants, both of whom are eighth-rank garden supervisors. Don't worry too much about them."

"Brother Huaijin is right. They are here to work, not to enjoy themselves. We don't need to flatter them. To put it bluntly, my mother is a fourth-rank official, and we also have my grandfather!"

Yes, they all forgot about this. The old man is now a second-rank earl.

"If nothing goes wrong, the results of the new grain planting will be reported back, and Xuer's reward will also come down." Mu Lingxuan continued.

And he had a feeling that the reward would not be low. Thinking of what Xiao Yan might be thinking, Mu Lingxuan clenched his fists. He would not give him a chance, even if he was the emperor.

"Hehe, I wonder if the little brother will give me ten thousand taels of gold?" Liu Xu looked greedy.

Liu Donglai and the others looked at each other, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

It was getting late, so Mr. Xu and the others went back to rest.

Liu Donglai gave Mu Lingxuan a wink, and Mu Lingxuan also bowed and left, but when he left, he deliberately glanced at Liu Xu, which made Liu Xu confused.

Only Ye Miaoyin and her daughter and Liu Xu's family of three were left in the room. Ye Miaoyin guessed what they were going to say and prepared to leave, but Xu Ruolan asked her to stay.

"Sister, you are Baoer's master, your opinion is also very important in this matter."

Upon hearing this, Ye Miaoyin nodded and did not leave.

Liu Xu and Han Duoduo looked at each other, both confused.

"Hey, Baoer, Daddy has something to tell you!"

Liu Xu was a little surprised when she heard this, "Ah? What's the matter, Dad, tell me!"

Liu Xu's eyes were very clear. Liu Donglai looked at his daughter and felt a little guilty for some reason.

My daughter has always been a person with her own ideas. Although this was originally done for her own good, I didn't inform her in advance, and I don't know if she would be angry.

Seeing that Liu Donglai didn't say anything for a long time, Liu Xu became even more confused.

Xu Ruolan couldn't help but glare at her husband and said to herself, "Bao'er, it's like this..."

"what!"

After a moment, Liu Xu's scream was heard from the main room.

Mu Lingxuan did not rest after he left, but stood in front of the window, listening to the movements in the main room with his ears pricked up.

His skills are profound. As long as he concentrates, any movement within a hundred meters will not escape his ears.

At this time, in the main hall, Liu Xu stared at her parents in amazement, and pointed at herself, "Brother Huaijin and I are engaged?"

Facing his daughter's expression of disbelief, Liu Donglai nodded reluctantly.

Liu Xu blinked, and blinked again. Just when Han Duoduo wanted to speak to comfort her,

"Hahaha, that means Mu Lingxuan's little wolfdog will be mine from now on! Hahahaha!"

Everyone in the main room: ???……

Mu Lingxuan in the side room: ???

As Liu Xu laughed, he seemed to remember what he had just said and his laughter stopped abruptly.

"Uh, Dad, Mom, Master, that... is... me..." Liu Xu stuttered.

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay. Mother knows. Mother understands what you mean!" Xu Ruolan was the first to react.

Although she didn't quite understand why Liu Xu said that Mu Lingxuan was a little wolfdog, she knew that her daughter did not object to this marriage.

It's good that you don't object. Otherwise, with this girl's personality, there might be a rift between the Mu and Liu families.
