Yuzhin touched her pinched face, tilted her head and thought for a while, and what the girl said seemed to make sense.

In the past, girls were only bullied.

Even when the marriage was snatched away by someone, the Duke did not come out to say a word for the girl.

She used to feel sorry for the girl, but now she thinks that it is disgusting for a man to be so affectionate with a girl when he knows he is engaged.

The girl is so beautiful, the second son of Marquis Xiangning is not worthy of her.

My cousin knew that the other person was engaged, but she still took the initiative to get close to him. She is not a good person!

"Go to bed. Auntie is not feeling well. We have to go to the palace to check on her tomorrow morning."

"Yes, girl..."

That night, Mu Qingyan slept soundly, as if she was asleep, but also as if she was awake. Many unfamiliar scenes lingered in her dreams. She was sometimes in modern times, sometimes in ancient times.

Many pictures are pieced together, seemingly absurd, yet they seem to be connected everywhere...

When she woke up the next day, her pajamas were soaked.

She seemed to be trapped in a certain scene in her dream for a whole night. No matter which direction she ran, she would end up back where she was...

In this vast world, it seemed as if she was the only one left.

The door creaked open and Yuzhan walked in.

"Miss, are you awake? I have prepared water for washing and breakfast."

When the girl first came back, Taoyuan was short of food and clothing.

The food delivered was often rotten and smelly. Yulan refused to go to the big kitchen to face people's faces, so they urged her to go. Not only could she not get the food back, she was also pushed, slapped and insulted.

After the girl woke up from falling into the water, she stepped on Nanny Zhang to establish her power. No one in the mansion dared to flatter the powerful and bully the weak anymore.

But the girl didn't like the meals in the big kitchen, so she took the ingredients and cooked them in the small kitchen herself.

Mu Qingyan shook his swollen head, then slowly stood up and washed his face.

"Miss, are you having trouble sleeping at night? Do you want to see a doctor?"

Mu Qingyan had no appetite, so she drank two mouthfuls of porridge reluctantly and put down her bowl and chopsticks. "Your daughter is the best doctor. I know my own body very well, so don't worry. Have you had breakfast? If you have, let's leave earlier."

Yuzhan was also honest, "I was woken up by hunger. I ate a steamed bun when I woke up, and I'm not hungry now."

"Then go downstairs and eat some more. You can eat at the palace, but it's someone else's home after all. I feel bad that my aunt lives in the palace, and I can't always cause trouble for others..."

Although compared to the case in Huaiyang Prefecture, the trouble of eating was nothing, but she still thought that when two people get along, it is better not to let one person suffer too much...

As soon as the master and servant went out, two tails appeared behind them - ahem, it was the Duke Fuguo and his wife.

"Master, look at her. She is a young girl, but she is always out all day and comes back only after dark! She is treating our Duke's Mansion as an inn! She is out again so early in the morning!"

Lan kept putting on eye drops.

Duke Fuguo didn't like his daughter in the first place, and he wished that she would stay in Cangzhou forever until she died of old age!

"If you hadn't said that the marriage at the Marquis of Xiangning's Mansion couldn't be delayed, I wouldn't have brought her back! I thought she was an easy target, but she turned out to be a piece of shit! What do you think we should do now? She's yelling that she's going to go to the streets and sing about how our Duke's Mansion abuses his daughter. Can you afford to lose face like that?"

Lan didn't expect him to get so angry.

Now she said timidly, "That's what I was thinking. It was a marriage arranged between my mother and the old lady of Xiangning Marquis. Although both old ladies are gone, as the younger generation, we can't go against the wishes of our elders... Who knew that Hui'er would be with the second young master..."

Hearing Lan mention her niece, Duke Fuguo became angry, "Your good niece! She climbed up to the Xiangning Marquisate by stepping on the reputation of my Duke's Mansion, and my Duke hasn't come to settle accounts with you yet! How dare you mention her! No matter how despicable Mu Qingyan is, she is still walking around with the name of my Duke Fuguo's first wife's daughter! How can anyone trample on her at will!"

Lan bit her tongue secretly, regretting why she brought up this matter!

Now, the fire that I had finally started has all come upon me!

"I know I was wrong...but, out of love, I'm afraid Hui'er didn't mean it..."

"Humph! Whether it was intentional or not, you, as my aunt, know best! I don't care what the Lan family is planning, as long as you don't bring disaster to my mansion, I can turn a blind eye. But if you want to drag my Mu family to be buried with you, I tell you, no way!"

Duke Fuguo turned away in anger.

Lan stood there angrily.

The couple are not on good terms with each other and are only doing things on the surface.

But today, he didn't even want to put on a show and just laid his cards on the table.

If the Lan family succeeds, how can they be as rich and powerful as before! If Mu Sinian wants to have a share of the pie, it depends on whether my mother is happy or not!

Mu Qingyan bought a carriage and hired a coachman. She didn't have to report to the Lan family when she went out to use the carriage in the mansion, which was convenient.

But after entering the palace, she wanted to pay her respects to Prince Ling first, after all, he was the owner of this palace. But when she arrived at Tan Garden, she was stopped by the guards, "The prince has ordered that no guests will be received today. Miss, you can move freely in the palace, and you don't have to come to pay your respects specially."

Mu Qingyan was confused, but it was better if they didn't have to meet. It was annoying to always have to greet each other.

In Qin Garden, Madam Yuan looked a little better than yesterday. She got up early and drank a bowl of minced meat porridge and added two steamed dumplings. In the past, she could not eat so much in one day, let alone one meal.

Yuan Ying looked happy.

When Mu Qingyan came in, she hurriedly told her about the changes in Madam Yuan.

The little girl was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.

He was only seventeen years old and should have been growing up carefree in the arms of his parents, but something unexpected happened.

The missing father, the long-term ill mother, and the brother who stayed in Huaiyang Prefecture with an uncertain safety...

Who could understand how hard it was for this little girl, who had to take care of her sick mother, to walk from Huaiyang Prefecture to Kyoto... She was very strong and never even complained. Without her support, Madam Yuan would not have been able to hold on for so long.

Mu Qingyan felt very sad. She patted the little girl's hand and said, "It will get better and better."

Yuan Ying nodded excitedly.

Madam Yuan's foundation was too badly depleted. It would take time to make up for it. It would take a long time.

But the most important thing is to relax.

As long as your mood is bright and open, your appetite will naturally improve. When your appetite improves, your spirit will return.

If she continues to be so depressed, what awaits her is exhaustion and she will be powerless to recover.
