It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

Mu Yu had already seen through it. The Mu Mansion was rotten from the foundation.

So after learning the truth, he accepted it within a few days and was even a little glad to be able to stay away from the Mu Mansion.

Otherwise, even if I recover, I will become a pawn in the palm of my grandmother's hand.

"Mu Yu, if you say one more bad word about grandma, our brother-sister relationship will end!" Mu Qing's hands were clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound.

"I am just stating the facts. You are the one who is stubborn and refuses to change your ways." Mu Yu stood up. "I have brought the words that my father asked me to bring. If you have figured it out, come and find me."

"Don't even think about making me compromise!"

Mu Qing stood up and glared at Mu Yu.

Mu Yu said nothing and turned away.

Just as he stepped out of the room, Mu Qing was so angry that he swept all the food on the table to the ground.

"Mu Yu, from today on, you are no longer my big brother. I hate you. I hate all of you!"

Mu Yu didn't even stop and disappeared into the night.

Mu Qing looked at the deserted room, thinking about what Lu Sui said, and how his elder brother left without looking back.

For a moment, she seemed to lose all her strength.

He fell to the ground and burst into tears.

"Deputy General Mu?"

Until Chenxiang came in carrying a food box.

She saw the mess on the ground and Mu Qing sitting on the ground, crying without caring about her image, and immediately ran over: "What happened?"

Mu Qing looked up and saw that it was Chen Xiang, and immediately became alert: "What are you doing here?"

"I'm bringing you some snacks as ordered by the young lady." Chenxiang was afraid that Mu Qing wouldn't believe her, so she immediately knelt on the ground and opened the food box.

And it is the act of opening the food box.

Mu Qing discovered that there were several red marks on Chenxiang's arm.

She narrowed her eyes, immediately grabbed Chenxiang's hand, and pulled up her sleeves: "You were beaten?"

"No."

Chen Xiang shook his head and immediately retracted his hand: "I was careless and fell down by myself."

"Are you kidding me? Falling down only resulted in scratches, how could there be red streaks?" Mu Qing sneered. Seeing tears in Chen Xiang's eyes, he looked at her for a few seconds and asked, "Did Yuan Buwei hit you?"

"No."

Chen Xiang shook her head: "The snacks have been delivered, Deputy General Mu, I will leave first."

"That's right. You were originally a fire-making girl. If Yuan Buwei hadn't chosen you, you would probably still be making fire in the Yuan family's kitchen." Mu Qing didn't know how to get up. He just sat on the ground and picked up a piece of dessert from the plate and put it in his hand.

Chen Xiang's body froze, and he turned to look at Mu Qing in shock: "How did Deputy General Mu know that?"

"I know everything about Yuan Buwei." Mu Qing said coldly, "And I can see that Yun Ling from Yaowang Valley is more favored by Yuan Buwei than you. They are more like sisters, and you are just a girl who can be bullied."

"I am just a maid." Chenxiang smiled, lowered her head and said nothing.

"But you were beaten by Yuan Buwei."

"No, the wound on my arm was caused by my carelessness. Besides, the young lady is very kind to me."

"Yuan Buwei likes you because you are obedient and sensible. Otherwise, why would she choose you from so many maids?" Mu Qing stood up and walked in front of Chenxiang.

When Chenxiang saw Mu Qing approaching step by step, he was so scared that he stepped back with a look of panic on his face.

"Chenxiang, how about we cooperate?"

Chen Xiang was startled, and suddenly raised her head with wide eyes: "Deputy General Mu, what are you talking about? I am the young lady's dowry maid."

"Do you know what a dowry girl is?"

Chenxiang shook his head.

"I heard that other families would prepare several maids as dowry when a woman got married. They were called dowry maids, but in fact they were just maids to keep the husband company. When the wife was not available, the maids had to serve the husband, but they could not bear children. If the husband looked at the maids for a second, the wife would get jealous and beat or scold them. Basically, after three to five years, the maids would be tortured to death."

Chenxiang trembled because of Mu Qing's words.

"Young Madam, I won't do that. Besides, the young marquis is now..."

"Now is now, can you promise the future? All men like the new and cherish the old." Mu Qing saw Chenxiang shaking like a sieve, and held her hand, which was cold. It can be seen that this little girl is scared and worried. "As long as you are willing to help me, I will let you go free after the matter is accomplished."

"No."

Chen Xiang pulled her hand back and shook her head desperately: "How could this servant betray the young lady? I can't do it."

"Chenxiang, do you have any family?"

"Of course. I'm still waiting to be reunited with them." Chenxiang was actually an orphan, and she said this on purpose. "I entered the Yuan family because my family was so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat. I was afraid that my brothers and sisters would starve to death, so I sold myself to the Yuan family as a fire-making maid for two taels of silver."

"Then don't you want to reunite with them?" Mu Qing tempted step by step.

"Of course I want to, but..." Chenxiang shook her head and bowed with a firm look in her eyes, "I absolutely cannot betray the young lady. Deputy General Mu, I will pretend that I didn't hear anything you just said. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, Shen Xiang ran away in a flash.

The young lady said that Mu Qing couldn't be allowed to succeed all at once, otherwise she would become suspicious, so she had to keep her in suspense.

Mu Qing finally understood why he could never win Lu Sui's favor.

The fundamental reason is that she doesn't know how to plan and there is no one around to help her.

But now it has.

The next day.

While Yuan Buwei was giving acupuncture to Lu Sui, she heard shouting outside.

"This Mu Qing is quite shameless. He was acting so arrogant yesterday, but after a night, he acted as if nothing happened." Yun Ling complained.

"It shows that she has good psychological quality and has weathered many storms. This is something we can learn from."

Lu Sui looked at Yuan Buwei with a smile on her face. He was very curious why she was always in control.

"Avi, you are so amazing. Everything is under your control."

"no."

"Awei, don't be so modest, I'm seriously praising you."

When Yun Ling noticed that the atmosphere between the two of them had changed, she immediately stepped back to the wall and pretended to be invisible.

"I'm not being modest. I'm just cautious when doing things. I didn't say that everything is under my control. For example..." Yuan Buwei's eyes fell on Lu Sui's face. "You are something I can't control. According to my previous experience, you should cooperate with me very well, but didn't I spend a lot of effort before you agreed?"

"I'm not talking about people." Lu Sui argued, "How can I be the same as a living person?"

"Then I apologize to you?"

Lu Sui: ...

It's like this every time. Lu Sui always feels that Awei has a hard shell on her body, and every time he touches her, she starts to resist.

"Deputy General Mu, what are you doing? This is the breakfast I worked so hard to prepare for the young marquis!"

From outside the door, Yayue's crying voice was heard.
