Just like Ling Wenzhan before, if he wasn't so shameful, she would have thought, how could she have dealt with him so easily and without getting her hands dirty?

The more people are paying attention to her, the more cautious the Marquis' Mansion will be, and she will be safer.

In addition to her own usefulness, this is also a way for her to save her life.

After Mu Lianzhi said this, the old lady's heart skipped a beat again. Looking at the whole family who were not dressed in red at all, she was left with only regret.

She was just thinking about her eldest son in prison and her younger son who died, and she ignored this.

It’s just that the Marquis’ Mansion hasn’t participated in any formal and decent activities for a long time.

Upon hearing this, Jiang was a little frightened and spent a long time examining her appearance.

Just when they were still wondering whether to go back and change bodies, Mu Lianzhi said again:

"Mother, we should hurry up and leave! Today is the Qixi Festival. There will be many carriages and horses attending the banquet, and there will be a lot of people on the street. If we delay any longer, it may be a crime of disrespect."

"Yes, yes, let's go."

There was no time to dress up. The old lady agreed and the group hurried out the door.

The four of them sat in two carriages, Jiang accompanied the old lady, and Mu Lianzhi and Ling Feier sat in one.

Along the way, the two didn't talk much. Ling Feier's glances at Mu Lianzhi from time to time were filled with unspeakable depth.

The carriage soon arrived at the outer courtyard of the palace, and the group lined up and walked to the outer gate of the palace, waiting to be checked in. According to the rules, female family members had to go through the west side door, while officials and other male family members could go through the main gate and a small door on the east side.

The three gates are on a wide main road and can be vaguely seen from a distance.

Mu Lianzhi was queuing when she suddenly heard a rapid sound of horse hooves approaching from afar. Turning her head, she saw Beitang Yi and a group of people galloping towards her. They were all wearing black official uniforms with the logo of Yutian Pavilion, except for the leader, who was wearing silver-gray casual clothes.

"Xu~"

The cavalry stopped at one side of the palace gate. He just raised his hand and waved twice casually, and the team dispersed in an orderly manner. Suddenly, only he, Yingfeng and two guards were left at the west gate.

It turned out that he came here to check out the place.

Really impressive~

It was obvious that the surroundings became quiet after this group of people came over. Mu Lianzhi looked over unconsciously. At this moment, Beitang Yi turned around, and their eyes met from a distance.

She is like a blooming green peony in the crowd, bright and beautiful, truly a "beauty from heaven".

One glance for thousands of years.

Beitang Yi paused as he dismounted from his horse, a hint of surprise flashing across his eyes:

Is she here too?

Given the current situation of the Marquis' Mansion and Mu Lianzhi's identity, she shouldn't show up in public!

He glanced at her, who stood out from the crowd, inconspicuously before jumping off the horse.

Someone ran up and took away all the horses. Two guards with swords walked to the two sides of the door. Beitang Yi did not stay for long and turned around and walked towards the main entrance with Yingfeng.

It was as if the seal was suddenly lifted, and there was an uproar around them:

"Is that the legendary Lord Beitang? He's so handsome, and not scary at all."

"Even bad guys don't write the word bad on their faces. You haven't seen how fierce he is with blood on his hands. I heard that he can dig a hole in a person's body with one hand. He is scarier than a ghost."

"I've heard that he kills people without blinking an eye, not even sparing children, but I didn't expect him to be so handsome. Seeing is believing."

"Master Beitang is a famous young man in Yanjing. If he wasn't good-looking, would the ladies in Beijing be so obsessed with him? There are many admirers now."

"How could the young general, who was once full of vigor and ambition and successful in both love and career, become like this? If the old general is still alive, he would be unable to rest in peace even after death! I wonder who will become his lover?"

"Stop daydreaming. We couldn't even reach the level of the former Major General, and we are even less able to reach the level of the current Lord Beitang."

"Can't I just take a look and think about it?"

"If you don't want to die, you should watch and think less. Do you know what Lord Beitang's current status is and who his former lover was?"

There was a moment of silence, and then a woman in luxurious clothes whispered:

"Don't mess with Lord Beitang. A few days ago, a young lady from an official family was thrown into the military camp."

"Ah? Really fake?"

"I heard about it too. It seems that he is a relative of a first-rank official. He looks very similar to the one before... It seems that he was involved in a corruption case and has been imprisoned. If he hadn't moved, it might not have happened so quickly~"

"Oh my god, no wonder they say he's unpredictable and has unpredictable preferences. It seems like there's never a woman around him, right?"

How could any normal man do such a thing?

Several women exchanged glances, all thinking the same thing, and then someone said:

"Nothing doesn't mean nothing has happened. If you are not afraid of death without a burial place, you may really have a fleeting love affair. Just don't flatter the horse's hoof."

"Haha~"

There was a burst of laughter afterwards, and no one responded. After hearing what was said, Mu Lianzhi had no extra expression on her face, but she clearly caught the obviously tense bodies and obscure eyes of Jiang and the old lady not far ahead.

……

Walking towards the main entrance, Beitang Yi's mind was still full of the stunning yellow-green figure in the crowd. As he approached, he heard bursts of laughter and discussion:

"Hey, have you found out? Whose lady is that? I haven't seen such a charming and outstanding beauty for a long time. She is really a little green among thousands of flowers, and there is no need for more moving spring scenery."

"I do not know."

"Who are you talking about? If there is such a person in the capital, how come we have never heard of him?"

"You can't just meet a girl who lives in seclusion whenever you want. But she is wearing something very special today. The two silk flowers on her head, one yellow and one green, are very easy to spot, especially in a crowd. You can't take your eyes off her until you compare her."

"I have seen it too. She is fair-skinned, beautiful, and graceful, like a fairy. If I could have her as my companion, I would be willing to never take a concubine for the rest of my life."

"Do you want to be so exaggerated?"

"You'll know once you see it. It's not just about appearance. There's a special feeling there. It will soften your heart when you see it."

"I think you have become weak-boned!"

"Haha, I heard you guys talking. If I had known earlier, I would have gone west as well."

"Why are you in such a hurry? You will definitely be able to see it again if you go in. If anyone sees it later, please remember to let me know."

Wherever Beitang Yi went, there were almost whispers of discussions like this. By the time he arrived at the door, his faces were so dark that they were almost visible to the naked eye.

"Master Beitang——"

After everyone exchanged polite greetings, the area in front of the door suddenly became quiet, and soon, the group of people walked in with their heads down.

In the courtyard with green trees and blooming flowers, servants and servants were walking back and forth, and wooden signs pointing the way could be seen everywhere. Under a tree at a fork in the road, Beitang Yi slowly stopped and glanced behind him:

"Go check where she is?"
