The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?
Chapter 12 Meeting guests
When Xiao Yibai returned to the palace, Ji Yun and Qi Heng were waiting. When Qi Heng saw Xiao Yibai, he hurriedly asked, "How is it?"
Xiao Yibai spoke after entering the study: "Not very good, probably confined to house arrest for half a month at most."
Qi Heng was unwilling to accept it. "So we're just going to let it go like this? We've handed all the evidence to the Divine Shadow Guards. The Emperor is too partial to Prince Rui. If it weren't for Miss Mu's rescue, you might have already been buried."
"Forget it?" Xiao Yibai sneered, "How can I forget it? The Spring Festival Banquet will be held in a few days. I will give him a big gift before the Spring Festival Banquet so that he can also think about choosing a concubine at the Spring Festival Banquet."
At the Marquis Anyuan's Mansion, Mu Xiyue was sitting in the yard reading a book when a maid came and asked her to go to the front yard, saying that the master and mistress had guests coming and asked her to go over and meet them.
Mu Xiyue was very curious. She closed the book and said, "Who is this guest? I, a young lady who just returned a few days ago, need to meet him."
The maid lowered her head and whispered, "I don't know."
"Then let's go meet him! Xiaotao, let's go." Mu Xiyue suddenly had an idea and she thought of who it might be.
When they arrived at the main hall in the front yard, Xiaotao stayed outside the hall while Mu Xiyue walked in.
"Hello, father. I wonder why you called me here?"
When Mu Fengnian saw Mu Xiyue bowing to him in a proper manner, he thought to himself that she looked much more pleasing to the eye after learning some etiquette.
"Yue'er, come here! This is the Minister of Revenue, Lord Chen, and this is Madam Chen. Come over and greet us."
Mu Xiyue stepped forward and bowed, "Xiyue greets Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen."
Mrs. Chen was somewhat satisfied when she saw Mu Xiyue's well-behaved appearance. Although her face was a little darker, she was really pretty. Her height, weight and figure were just right. If her skin was whiter, she could be compared with the most beautiful woman in the capital.
Madam Chen smiled and said to Mu Xiyue, "Good child, get up quickly. Are you used to the life here?"
Mu Xiyue smiled faintly, "Thank you Madam Chen for your concern. It's great to have enough food and warm clothes."
What this means is that in the countryside, people didn't have enough to eat or warm clothes to wear, and now that they have returned, they can only have enough to eat and warm clothes.
Madam Chen understood immediately. She was the most knowledgeable about the secret affairs of the harem. Although Mu Xiyue was the eldest daughter of the Anyuan Marquisate, she had lost her mother at a young age, so her situation was naturally difficult. Anyone with a discerning eye could see the true meaning of the rumors of her unfavorable relationship. Even though she had returned to the Marquisate now, she was afraid that life would not be easy.
When Liu Mei'er heard Mu Xiyue's words, she hated her heart very much, but she still pretended to be gentle on the surface.
"Yue'er is the eldest daughter of our Marquis' Mansion. Now that she is back, you must take good care of her. If there is anything you like, be sure to tell mother. Don't let yourself be wronged."
Mu Xiyue chuckled sadly, "Second Madam is absolutely right. If I have any grievances, I can only tell my mother about them in my dreams."
Mu Fengnian's face darkened when he heard this. "Yue'er, what nonsense are you talking about? Okay, go back to the yard and rest first!"
How could Mu Xiyue leave like this? Don’t sell her out behind her back.
"Father asked me to come here not just to meet Mr. and Mrs. Chen, right?"
Liu Mei'er glanced at Mu Fengnian and smiled gently at Mu Xiyue. "Yue'er, today we are discussing your marriage with the Second Young Master Chen with Lord and Madam Chen. It's not nice for an unmarried girl like you to listen to this. Go back to the courtyard and wait obediently, okay? Mother will come to see you later."
Mu Xiyue kept standing and talking after she came in. She looked around the room and found a seat in a corner to sit down.
"Second Madam, why did my mother come to me for this? Since it concerns me, then I, a parentless person, should listen to it myself."
The words "no father, no mother" were like a slap in Mu Fengnian's face. He angrily scolded in a low voice, "Yue'er, don't be so presumptuous in front of guests."
Mu Xiyue was not annoyed, she looked at Mu Fengnian with a smile, "How could I be presumptuous? You can say whatever you want, just pretend I don't exist."
Mu Fengnian looked at Minister Chen and his wife apologetically, "I'm sorry, my daughter has been naughty and made you two laugh."
Minister Chen and his wife were both wondering whether it was a good idea to marry such a girl. She didn't seem like someone who would suffer any loss, and they still had to wait and see what her personality was like. But they didn't want to marry a shrew who would bully Kang'er, as that would be bad.
Minister Chen is also an old fox, but he still has a smile on his face. "No problem, no problem, my daughter is straightforward."
Madam Chen also smiled and said, "It's time for us to go back, Lord Mu. There's no rush for the two children. Take your time."
Mu Fengnian knew that there would be no chance of reaching an agreement today. This rebellious girl must have done it on purpose, and he would definitely punish her according to the family rules later.
"Master Chen, Madam Chen, we are being too slow today. The child has only been home for a few days and hasn't quite adapted yet."
Mu Xiyue was afraid that one day Mu Fengnian would arrange a marriage for her behind her back. Although no one could force her as long as she didn't want to, it was better to avoid some trouble.
So she said directly, "Father, please don't worry about my marriage. If you dare to arrange a marriage for me without permission, I will definitely turn your mansion upside down. I mean what I say. Lord Chen and Madam Chen, I'm sorry, but I don't want to marry yet. If you want to marry someone from the mansion, I suggest you choose my sister. She is the one that my father and the Second Madam hold in high esteem. This will definitely bring more harmony to the relationship between our two families."
Mu Fengnian could no longer suppress his anger, "Asshole, it's not up to you whether you marry or not. Come, bring the young lady back to the yard."
Two servants came in quickly from outside the door, "Miss, please go back."
Mu Xiyue chuckled, raised her foot, and with two bangs, the two servants were kicked out of the door.
After this incident, Mu Fengnian knew that the marriage with the Chen family would definitely not be successful. He was originally worried about making Mu Xiyue have a good impression in front of Minister Chen and his wife, but now he no longer has to worry about it.
He called out to the door, "Wang Cheng."
Wang Cheng was one of the most powerful secret guards around Mu Fengnian. He hurried in from outside the door, "My Lord."
Mu Fengnian growled, "Take the young lady to the ancestral hall and lock her up."
"Yes," Wang Cheng made a gesture of invitation to Mu Xiyue, "Miss, please come in. Don't let your subordinates use violence."
Mu Xiyue turned to Mu Fengnian and sneered, "Father, have I been acting too gentle, giving you the illusion that you can control me? It seems that if I don't see any blood, you think I'm easy to talk to."
He hooked his finger at Wang Cheng and said, "If you are not afraid of death, you can try to see if you have the ability to touch me."
Mu Fengnian was so angry at his daughter's disobedience that he yelled at Wang Cheng again, "Catch this rebellious girl for me."
Wang Cheng had heard about the young lady dragging the wild boar down the mountain. Judging from her attitude just now, she must have some skills. Although he didn't believe that a little girl could be so powerful, he didn't take it lightly.
"Miss, I'm sorry." He said and punched Mu Xiyue's shoulder.
