My bad father married a princess, my mother divorced me, and I became the group's favorite

Ye Xiaoxiao looked her mother up and down, then looked at the three people in front of her. She narrowed her eyes slightly, and her gaze moved back and forth between Liu Yunniang and the three people.

She bit her lower lip lightly, thought for a moment and then said, "Mother, does General Xiao have other thoughts about you?"

Liu Yunniang was already feeling guilty about being stared at by her daughter. When she heard this, her cheeks flushed slightly and she glanced at Ye Xiaoxiao in a reproachful manner.

"Xiaoxiao, don't say that. General Xiao is an important official in the court, how could he have such thoughts? Maybe he really just has good intentions and is worried about our situation in the capital."

"Oh......"

Ye Xiaoxiao nodded, but stretched out her voice, her eyes full of teasing.

Liu Yunniang became more and more embarrassed, and reached out to gently pat Ye Xiaoxiao's arm.

"You are becoming more and more unruly, kid. Stop making random guesses."

Ye Xiaoxiao refused to give in, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"Mother, if General Xiao is really interested, it would be a good thing. You see, General Xiao is in a high position and has great power, and he is so interested. If he can form an alliance with us, we will have more help in the capital."

Liu Yunniang glared at Ye Xiaoxiao.

"Stop talking nonsense. Don't mention this matter again."

Seeing that her mother was a little angry, Ye Xiaoxiao stopped talking, but became more curious about General Xiao's actions.

Did he really arrange for Butler Liu, Yuemei and Yuezhu to enter the mansion just to help them?

Or is there another plan?

And my mother's attitude towards General Xiao seems a little subtle. Could it be that my mother does not have no feelings for General Xiao?

Chunxi knew that something was wrong between the lady and the general, but she didn't dare to say anything. Butler Liu, Yuemei and Yuezhu stood aside, not daring to say a word for fear of causing further misunderstanding.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became awkward and subtle.

"Okay, Butler Liu, please ask someone to find me a box for the zither tomorrow. It doesn't have to be too luxurious, just simple and elegant."

Butler Liu quickly responded, "Yes, Madam, I will arrange it right away and will definitely live up to your trust."

The awkward atmosphere in the hall was slightly eased by Liu Yunniang's instructions.

Liu Yunniang seemed to be aware of everyone's thoughts. She cleared her throat and said, "Okay, that's all for today. You can all go down and do your own job."

As if they had been pardoned, everyone bowed and left. Only Liu Yunniang and Ye Xiaoxiao, mother and daughter, were left in the hall.

Ye Xiaoxiao looked at her mother, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Liu Yunniang sighed and said, "Xiaoxiao, don't let your imagination run wild. Right now, the most important thing for us is to prepare for the Queen's birthday gift. Take mother to your precious space!"

Ye Xiaoxiao nodded, but the curiosity in her heart was hard to calm down.

But it doesn’t matter. She will find a way to get the answer from General Xiao regarding the matter between her mother and General Xiao.

Ye Xiaoxiao brought her mother into the space and moved the guzheng out.

The body of this guzheng is made of fine paulownia wood. The wood texture is clear and smooth, exuding a light and elegant fragrance, like a treasure that has been deposited over the years.

Every wooden joint is seamless, showing the craftsman's exquisite craftsmanship.

Liu Yunniang was also somewhat moved by what she saw, and immediately sat in front of the guzheng, gently plucking the strings with her jade fingers.

The clear and melodious piano sound poured out like a gurgling stream, instantly filling the entire space. Every note seemed to carry a lively breath, telling endless stories.

Ye Xiaoxiao felt that her mother was truly a treasured woman; she could always give her surprises everywhere!

In this ancient world, women seemed to have a unique talent and charm.

They are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and know how to use art to express their emotions and thoughts. In contrast, modern people often ignore these beautiful things in their busy lives and pursue material and utilitarianism more.

At the same time, Xiao Mu next door was discussing with Mo Feng the feasibility of using gunpowder for catapults.

However, a clear and pleasant piano sound quietly floated in like the gurgling of water, instantly breaking the solemn atmosphere in the room.

Xiao Mu's words stopped abruptly. He tilted his ear slightly, and a hint of surprise and curiosity appeared in his eyes.

Mo Feng was also stunned. The sound of the piano was extremely beautiful.

"General, this is next door..." Mo Feng couldn't help but speak.

Xiao Mu raised his hand slightly, signaling him not to speak.

He slowly walked out of the study and gradually came to the wall. As he got closer, the sound of the piano became clearer, like strands of silk threads entwined in his heart.

He listened quietly, as if the whole world had quieted down, with only the poetic and picturesque piano music echoing in his ears.

He knew that the piano sound came from her yard.

Mo Feng looked at his general's intoxicated face and was secretly surprised.

He had never seen the general with such an expression, as if his soul was bewitched by the sound of the piano.

Xiao Mu stood under the wall, motionless, letting the sound of the piano surround his ears. The figure of Liu Yunniang appeared in his mind.

That gentle and graceful look, that sweet smile, slowly unfolded before his eyes like a scroll.

The sound of the piano seemed to plant a seed in Xiao Mu's heart, making him finally certain that she was indeed in his heart.

The corners of Xiao Mu's mouth rose unconsciously, revealing a gentle smile.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of the piano gradually stopped. However, Xiao Mu still stood there, as if he was still immersed in the beautiful melody.

Mo Feng didn't dare to step forward to disturb her, but just stood quietly aside, waiting for the general's order. The general clearly looked like he was deeply in love, yet he didn't even realize it. Should he... ?

Finally, Xiao Mu came back to his senses. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

Then, he turned to Mo Feng and said, "Let's go back to the study."

Mo Feng responded, not daring to continue speculating, and followed the general back to the study.

When the two of them reentered the study, Mo Feng was about to speak when he heard Xiao Mu's order, "Notify housekeeper Liu and ask him to find a way to bring Nanny Sun into the Liu residence. Madam Liu's entry into the palace to attend the Queen's birthday banquet was arranged by the Queen Mother. I'm afraid that Madam Liu will have to be disciplined based on the rules. Nanny Sun came from the palace. With her around, the palace's rules and etiquette will definitely not let Madam Liu make mistakes."

Mo Feng was slightly stunned, then responded: "Yes, General. I will arrange it right away."

He secretly sighed in his heart that the general really had good intentions for Madam Liu. However, the general did good deeds without leaving a name, so how could Madam Liu know his feelings?

Why didn't you send someone there in person?

Alas, this general is usually decisive in killing people, why is he so awkward in this matter of love?

At this rate, General, when will the mansion welcome a hostess?
