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

Nanny Sun calmed down and quickly knelt down and said, "General, please calm down. I was confused for a moment and presumptuously guessed your intentions. I wanted to share your worries, but I didn't expect to make things worse. Madam Liu is smart and has already known that I am a member of your family. Please punish me."

Xiao Mu looked at Nanny Sun kneeling on the ground, and his anger subsided a little.

He knew that Nanny Sun had good intentions, but was just being used by Mo Feng. He sighed slightly and said, "Nanny, get up. You can't be blamed for this. Mo Feng, go down and get thirty strokes of the cane."

Mo Feng secretly groaned in his heart, but he also knew that he had indeed caused a big disaster this time, so he had to respond obediently.

"Yes, General." Then he stepped back to accept the punishment.

Nanny Sun stood up, but did not dare to plead for Mo Feng, and she was still very nervous.

She said cautiously: "General, what about Madam Liu..."

Xiao Mu pondered for a moment and said, "I will find an opportunity to explain to Madam Liu myself."

Nanny Sun nodded, feeling extremely regretful, fearing that her words would make Liu even more distant from the general.

After careful consideration, she finally spoke, "General, please don't blame me for being too talkative. Madam Liu is indeed a rare and insightful person. Since you are interested, why don't you tell Madam Liu clearly? In my opinion, Madam Liu is very grateful to you, so it is possible for us to take it a step further..."

Xiao Mu's eyes flickered slightly, and his lips twitched slightly, but no one could tell whether he liked it or not. He waved his hand and said, "Mammy, please go down."

After Nanny Sun respectfully left, Xiao Mu sat alone in the study, lost in thought.

He has his own pride. If that person doesn't have himself in his heart, wouldn't it be annoying for him to come forward eagerly?

In order to prevent Princess Pingle from taking action against the Jiangnan Liu family, he had sent someone to investigate. Naturally, he knew that she and Ye Wenbo were a loving couple.

Although Ye Wenbo betrayed her later, the feelings they once had were not so easy to forget.

He was not sure what position he held in her heart. If he confessed rashly and was rejected, he was afraid that even the vague connection they had would be severed.

Her caution towards feelings made him feel distressed and helpless.

He wanted to give her enough sense of security, to let her know that he was someone she could rely on, but he didn't know where to start.

After Mo Feng received thirty strokes of the board, he grimaced in pain.

How could he have fooled Madam Sun on impulse? Now, not only did he hurt himself, but he also almost ruined the general's plan.

Mo Feng limped into the study, lowering his head and not daring to look at Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu looked at Mo Feng's miserable appearance, and was a little stunned. After a long time, he said, "Will you still be so smart in the future?"

Mo Feng said quickly: "General, I know I was wrong, and I will never dare to interfere in the affairs between Madam Liu and the general again."

Xiao Mu was stunned for a moment, and then heaved a long sigh of relief. These thirty strokes of the cane might be too little for him.

"Okay, let's go down."

Mo Feng said gratefully: "Thank you, General. I will definitely not let you down."

Xiao Mu didn't even raise his eyes, not wanting to even look at him, so Mo Feng had no choice but to bow and retreat.

Xiao Mu sat in the study, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Hey!

Mo Feng and Nanny Sun really gave him a difficult time.

Since she knew Nanny Sun’s identity, what about the others?

What would she think of herself?

Would she think that he had ill intentions and deliberately planted someone in her house?

Since it has come to this, why not confess your feelings to her?

He looked up at the wall outside the window. It was just a wall, but it seemed like there were thousands of mountains and rivers between them.

As night falls, the capital city is shrouded in silence.

At three o'clock in the morning, Xiao Mu changed into a black night suit. With his agile figure, he shuttled through the night like a black shadow and soon arrived outside the wall of Liu Mansion.

With a light leap, he easily climbed over the wall of Liu Mansion.

He was naturally familiar with the layout of the Liu Mansion, and walked towards Liu Yunniang's residence with ease.

Along the way, his heart was pounding with nervousness. He was looking forward to meeting Liu Yunniang, but also felt a little regretful. Would she be angry with him for coming here rashly?

Liu Yunniang didn't have the habit of keeping anyone to watch at night, so Yuemei and Yuezhu had already been sent back to rest.

Liu Yunniang was wearing a white underdress, the soft fabric fit her skin and outlined her graceful figure. Her black hair fell like a waterfall, and her face looked particularly gentle under the candlelight at the bedside, her eyebrows were as dark as distant black, her eyes were as clear as autumn water, her nose was straight and her lips were red without any makeup.

She just leaned quietly against the head of the bed, holding a book in her hands, her expression focused and peaceful.

Xiao Mu stood outside Liu Yunniang's door, his heart beating fast, nervousness and anticipation intertwined.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

For some reason, through that door, he seemed to be able to feel Liu Yunniang's breath, a kind of tenderness that made his heart beat.

“Knock…knock…knock…”

Liu Yunniang was slightly startled when she heard the knock on the door, "Is it Yuemei?"

The voice was soft and a little lazy, and Xiao Mu didn't know how to start for a moment.

It was extremely quiet outside the house. Liu Yunniang became alert. She put down the book, quickly stood up, found a dress and put it on. Then she asked cautiously, "Who are you?"

"It's me, Xiao Mu."

Xiao Mu's voice was low and magnetic, and it reached Liu Yunniang's ears through the door.

Liu Yunniang's heart skipped a beat, and surprise and nervousness instantly surged into her heart.

She never expected Xiao Mu to appear here at this time. She calmed down and said softly, "General, why are you here? This is against the rules."

Xiao Mu was standing outside the door. When he heard Liu Yunniang's words, he felt a little ashamed, but he couldn't care less at the moment.

"Yunniang, I want to see you." His words were full of affection and eagerness.

Liu Yunniang hesitated for a moment, then slowly stood up and walked to the door.

Her heart was beating so hard that it seemed to jump out of her throat. She gently opened the door, and Xiao Mu's figure appeared in front of her.

He was wearing a black nightgown, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, and his eyes were shining with a fiery light.

Maybe it's time to talk to him clearly!

She didn't dare look directly into Xiao Mu's eyes.

"General, please come in."

Xiao Mu was stunned when he heard this.

He suddenly looked up at Liu Yunniang, unable to react.

She raised her head and looked into Xiao Mu's eyes.

At this moment, he looked a little dazed, not at all like the cold and self-controlled general who usually fought on the battlefield.

Liu Yunniang sighed slightly and turned to go into the room. "General, are you going to stand here and wait for the people in the mansion to find you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu hurriedly stepped forward and followed in, closing the door quietly.

Inside the room, the dim candlelight flickered slightly, illuminating Liu Yunniang's gentle face.

At this moment, she no longer had her hair tied up in a bun like she did during the day. Her black hair was loose, her skin was as white as jade, and she was not wearing any makeup. She looked less beautiful and seemed to be a few years younger.

The two were silent for a moment, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Liu Yunniang took a deep breath and tried her best to calm herself down.

She walked to the table, motioned for him to sit down, gracefully picked up the teapot, and poured a cup of tea for Xiao Mu. The tea created slight ripples in the cup, just like the waves in the two people's hearts at this moment.

Liu Yunniang gently pushed the teacup towards Xiao Mu and said with a smile, "General, please have some tea."

Her voice was soft and calm, showing her elegance and grace.

Xiao Mu looked at the teacup in front of him, then raised his eyes to look at Liu Yunniang. If he had said how happy he was when she opened the door just now, he felt very nervous when he saw her calm face now.

"Yun Niang, you...are you blaming me for coming here rashly?"
