The old lady continued, "Your concubine Xu told me that when Mu Xiyue moves into the Princess's Mansion, she should ask Xue to deliver a congratulatory gift. You should just turn a blind eye and not make things difficult for Xue'er. Your father originally gave Xue'er to your mother so that she could benefit the family in the future. The choice of marriage partner for a legitimate daughter and a concubine's daughter is different, and the support they can provide you in the future is also different. If Xue'er can befriend her eldest sister, perhaps she will have a good future, which is not a bad thing for you in the end."

Mu Weian clenched his fists, but his grandmother was right. Fortunately, his grandmother was still at home and could give him some advice.

Mu Xiyue didn't know what happened in the Mu family. She was listening to the gossip Xiaotao heard from outside.

Rumors can really ruin people. In just a day and a half, several versions of the rumors have emerged, and they are all good at making up stories.

It was said that Marquis Anyuan's guards and servants had all had affairs with Mu Xiyu, and that Mu Xiyu even had to pick several men to serve her every day.

Some say that Mu Xiyu is the reincarnation of a demon, and several guards in the Marquis' Mansion have died after being drained of their energy by her, but the Marquis' Mansion has kept it a secret.

Some even said that Mu Xiyu even had an affair with her own brother, because the prince of the marquis's mansion had an ulterior motive with this sister, so he kept this sister in the mansion to facilitate his dirty deeds.

The most outrageous thing is that Mu Xiyu had that kind of relationship with her biological father, so even God couldn't stand it, and Lord Mu was struck by lightning, and the Marquis's wife was angered to death by Mu Xiyu's shameless behavior.

Mu Xiyue was stunned when she heard this. These people who made up gossips were all talented.

Xiao Tao concluded excitedly, "Miss, why is the Second Miss still so restless even though she's already in that state? Now that the rumors are spread about her like that, I wonder if she'll hang herself. Just thinking about it makes me feel better."

Mu Xiyue smiled. "She's probably only thinking about revenge. If she were so fragile, she would have committed suicide after the incident with Ji Shizi at the flower viewing banquet. Even if she lost both hands and was divorced and sent back to her parents' home, it didn't break her. This shows that she doesn't have the courage to commit suicide."

Xiao Tao felt disgusted just thinking about it. How could such a person have the nerve to continue living in this world? "Miss, are you just going to let her go? Maybe this person is thick-skinned and won't even disgust herself."

Mu Xiyue gave her a reassuring look, "Of course I won't just let it go. The fly is buzzing around in front of my eyes. I can just shoo it away, but if I can't shoo it away, I'll just swat it to death. I can't just let it buzz all the time."

However, Mu Xiyue didn't want to get rid of Mu Xiyu right away. Such a wonderful story must be told to Mu Xiyu for some time. The best revenge is not to kill the person swiftly, but to make her live a life worse than death.

The most important thing is that her princess mansion has been renovated and she has to deal with the moving matter first.

Uncle Fu supervised the work and worked hard, and doubled the wages of the repairmen, so that the work was completed in just one month.

Mu Xiyue looked around and was very satisfied. The only thing was that the Princess Mansion was a little too big for her. She only hired eight people, and with the housekeeper, there were only nine people, which was not enough to take care of such a large mansion.

But what Mu Xiyue lacked the most right now was money. If she didn't have enough people, she could just go buy more. Too lazy to go herself, she told the housekeeper to take care of it. Since the Princess's Mansion and Prince Jin's Mansion were already connected, Uncle Fu was also very concerned about the Princess's manpower problem. He went to the pawnshop with Li Decheng to select people, and bought ten servants and eight maids. Xiao Yibai also assigned twenty guards to Mu Xiyue, and the Princess's Mansion could be considered a wealthy family.

Everything in Mu Xiyue's original mansion was left untouched, and everything that was needed for the Princess's Mansion was purchased new. With a lot of money, she could be willful. That mansion would be given to Xiaotao as a dowry in the future.

The housekeeper was very proactive, and of course the most important thing was that he had more money to work with. In just three days, he had purchased everything he needed.

On the first day of August, Mu Xiyue officially moved into the Princess's Mansion.

Although Mu Xiyue said not to hold any housewarming ceremony, the housekeeper still asked someone to choose an auspicious time. Firecrackers were set off for a quarter of an hour in front of the princess's mansion early in the morning. Uncle Fu brought two boxes of gifts on behalf of Prince Jin's mansion.

In the afternoon, Princess Qinyang unexpectedly came to present a gift, much to Mu Xiyue's surprise. Although their ranks were the same, and in terms of bloodline, Princess Qinyang was the Emperor's niece, Mu Xiyue was a titled princess, so in theory, she was superior.

The two of them exchanged greetings as equals, and Princess Qinyang said awkwardly, "Xinping, it was my fault for what happened at the Imperial Manor. I owe you an apology. I'm sorry!"

Mu Xiyue smiled. She didn't expect Princess Qinyang to apologize directly. Mu Xiyue had said that she would not bother with Princess Qinyang about the matter of the imperial farm for Xiao Yibai's sake. After that, Princess Qinyang never attacked her again. Now that she apologized today, Mu Xiyue would not take it to heart.

She chuckled, rummaged through her sleeves, and took out the jade pendant that belonged to Princess Qinyang. She handed it over and said, "I accept your apology, Princess. I'll return this jade pendant to you."

Princess Qinyang didn't expect that the jade pendant would return to her hands. If Mu Xiyue didn't return it to her, she would have no way to deal with it.

On the night of the flower viewing banquet, Xiao Yibai went to the Xianwang Mansion to find the Xianwang and told him everything about the imperial farm. The Xianwang had never lost his temper with his precious daughter Qinyang, but that night he scolded her to the point of being bloody.

The virtuous prince asked, "How could Prince Jin, a prince without the support of his maternal family, survive so well?" The emperor had high hopes for him, so how could he possibly be a simple person? And could the woman Prince Jin fell in love with be a simple person? The virtuous prince then analyzed her so-called friends one by one, asking which one wasn't just trying to curry favor with the royal family, and which true friend would drag their friends down with them?

Princess Qinyang gradually figured things out and stopped being close to those ladies from that day.

Now, looking at the jade pendant in her hand, she sincerely thanked Mu Xiyue for not caring about it. Her father was right. The fact that Mu Xiyue was made an exception by the emperor to be named a princess showed that she had been recognized by the emperor. Even if she couldn't make friends with her, she couldn't make enemies with her either.

"Xinping, can I know how you moved the jade pendant from your pouch that day? I don't have any other intentions, I'm just curious. After Qianshou stuffed the jade pendant into your pouch that day, my secret guards were watching you the whole time and didn't see you move the pouch at all."

Mu Xiyue could see that Princess Qinyang was not a bad person. She might have just made the wrong friends and was instigated by others, thinking that she was being chivalrous. Today, Qinyang sincerely wanted to make friends with her, so she was not reluctant to show some goodwill.

Mu Xiyue wanted to tease her, "Princess, do you want to know? Then I'll show you. It's actually similar to what you did with your Thousand Hands, but it's just a matter of hand speed."

Mu Xiyue took off the jade pendant from her waist and put it into her purse. She asked Qinyang to touch it to make sure it was really in her purse. Then she lightly touched the purse, and the jade pendant was stored in the space and then taken out again in her hand. This action was completed in just a moment.
