Judging from Mu Qing's surprised look, Yun Ling was sure that she was moved.

"If you don't try, you will never know what the young marquis' attitude towards you is."

"No."

Although Yun Ling's words gave Mu Qing a great temptation, she was afraid of the result of the experiment: "I know the young marquis's character too well. If he knew that what I did was to test him, he would definitely be angry."

Yunling secretly rolled her eyes.

Inwardly complaining: Since you know the young marquis' temper, yet you always try to cross his bottom line. Fortunately, he is lying down and unable to move, otherwise he would have split you in half long ago.

"You can't do this or that, and you just take it out on the young lady all day long. The young lady doesn't owe you anything, and it's not like she shamelessly wants to marry the young marquis." Yun Ling muttered and turned to the bed. "It was the emperor who issued the decree to grant the marriage. If you have the guts, go and settle the score with him."

"The Emperor has granted the marriage, Yuan Buwei cannot refuse, but she can keep her distance from the young marquis."

Yun Ling almost couldn't breathe.

Listen, is this human talk?

"Deputy General Mu, do you understand what husband and wife are?"

"She and the young marquis haven't married yet, so it doesn't count."

"Okay, the more you insist on being stubborn, the less likely you will get any attention from the young marquis." Yun Ling was really angry. Not only was Mu Qing ignorant, she was also confusing right and wrong.

"I can do what Yuan Buwei can do, and I can do it better than her." Mu Qing was still immersed in his own world. "If she is content, I don't recommend her to stay with the young marquis..."

"Stop." Yun Ling interrupted her, "The young lady and I are in the same group. You said bad things about her in front of me, aren't you afraid that I will go back and complain?"

"you will not."

Yun Ling was surprised by Mu Qing's confident tone: "Why do you think I can't do it?"

"You were indeed Yuan Buwei's maid before, but you are very close to Xingzhou now, calling him brother all the time. Ning Xingzhou is also valued by the young marquis. Given time, he will surely return to the peak. It is only a matter of time for him to marry you. Will you still be willing to be Yuan Buwei's maid at that time?" Seeing Yunling was stunned, Mu Qing thought that he had guessed it right, and straightened his back all of a sudden, "Miss Yunling, I actually admire you very much. Why don't you consider cooperating with me?"

Yun Ling really wanted to slap her.

But she took the bait.

Yun Ling took a deep breath, suppressed her inner excitement, and pretended to be confused: "Cooperation? Why should I cooperate with you?"

"You just said so much, thinking you know me well. To put it bluntly, you just want to get close to me. Now I'm giving you this opportunity." Mu Qing slowly walked in front of Yun Ling and looked down at her. "When Ning Xingzhou shines, countless noble ladies will want to marry him, and you are just a little girl. Even if you have Yuan Buwei to support you, you still don't have a decent family. Even if Ning Xingzhou really chooses you in the end, what help can you give him in his career?"

"Then what can you bring to me?" Yun Ling really wanted to flash in front of Yuan Buwei right now and complain about Mu Qing.

"You can acknowledge me as your sister. I will let you enter the Mu Mansion and change your surname to Mu. In this way, the Wanning Marquis Mansion, the Mu Mansion, and the Ning Mansion will be in a three-way competition and will surely make a name for themselves in the capital."

"I didn't expect Vice General Mu to be so thoughtful."

"Of course, I'm not like Yuan Buwei, who spends all day either fiddling with her medical skills or thinking about how to seduce the young marquis. She's so pretentious and vulgar." Mu Qing snorted coldly. Seeing Yun Ling looking at him without saying anything, he said, "I've already given you the conditions. Think about it carefully. Of course, after you recognize me as your sister, you don't have to live in the Mu Mansion. I'll give you a house and arrange some servants for you, and you can start your own business."

"Deputy General Mu, your conditions are indeed very tempting, but it would be too fake for me to agree to you right away. Why don't you let me think about it for three days?" Yun Ling smiled at Mu Qing. In fact, she was almost unable to suppress her inner anger.

"Is it necessary to think about it for three days for just one sentence?" Mu Qing frowned and said unhappily, "I can give you at most one day to think about it."

Yun Ling forced a smile: "Then let's take one day. I will give you an answer before the sun sets tomorrow."

"it is good."

After Mu Qing answered, he picked up the bedding on the ground and said, "You stay here tonight. I'll stay outside for the night."

"It's windy at night, and the cold dew is heavy. Deputy General Mu should rest in the tent. I can just get two stools and put them together."

"also."

Mu Qing nodded, and did not forget to praise Yun Ling: "You are more tactful than Yuan Buwei."

Yunling didn't say anything, just smiled.

Silent all night.

Yunling was awakened by the shouting of training outside.

I opened my eyes, but Mu Qing was nowhere to be seen.

She quickly got up and ran towards Ning Xingzhou's tent as fast as she could.

When he entered, he bumped into Ning Xingzhou who was about to walk out.

"Yunling, you didn't get hit, did you?" Ning Xingzhou held Yunling tightly, "Why are you so flustered? Did Mu Qing make things difficult for you?"

"Brother Xingzhou, quickly prepare the carriage. Let's hurry back to Wanning Marquis' Mansion. I'll talk to you on the way."

Ning Xingzhou saw the anxiety in Yun Ling's eyes and did not dare to stay: "Okay, let's go back to Wanning Marquis Mansion immediately."

On the road.

As Ning Xingzhou listened to Yun Ling's story, his brows became more and more furrowed, until in the end they were so furrowed that they could pinch a fly to death.

"Mu Qing actually planned it all out long ago. I even suspect that everything she's doing now is just a smokescreen to confuse the young lady and the young marquis. Fortunately, they were smart and figured out how to make me a double agent, otherwise it would be troublesome." Yun Ling finished speaking, took the pancake handed over by Ning Xingzhou and took a big bite, "If I wasn't afraid of ruining the young lady and the young marquis' plan, I would have chopped Mu Qing last night."

"She has always been like this, but before, we all lived together and had the same goals, so we didn't see any contradictions."

"Brother Xingzhou, you don't seem surprised at all. Did she look for you?"

"When I learned of your death and was about to leave the Gale Camp, Mu Qing came to see me and said something, but I was disheartened at the time and didn't want to cause any more trouble for the young marquis, so I didn't say anything." Ning Xingzhou took out a kettle and handed it to Yun Ling, "Drink some water, don't choke."

"Okay, Brother Xingzhou, you eat too." Yun Ling handed the pancake to Ning Xingzhou. "It's good for a woman to be ambitious and strategic, but she can't use us as stepping stones to achieve her own goals. Even if we are willing to be her stepping stones, can't she at least give us some benefits? Wanting the horse to run but not wanting to feed it grass, isn't that pure evil?"
