Shao Jie felt that this Miss Mu was not the person Miss Mu II described. It was just that they were sitting in the lobby and some things could not be said there. It would be bad if they spread.

If he didn't tell her, he would feel uneasy. The other three were also very curious about how Miss Mu II described Miss Mu Da. Anyway, he saw that Miss Mu Da was straightforward and easy to get along with.

Shao Jie whispered again, "Miss Mu, after lunch, I'll invite you to the teahouse across the street for tea. We can't drink your wine for free, so this is our return treat."

Mu Xiyue smiled. He must be trying to tell her something!

"Okay, then I'll respectfully obey your command."

After all, there are differences between men and women, so the four playboys didn't talk much with Mu Xiyue.

After lunch, Shao Jie and the other three were the first to leave the restaurant, with Mu Xiyue and Xiao Tao following about ten steps behind them.

After leaving the restaurant, Xiao Tao grumbled quietly, "Miss, the food in this restaurant is really expensive. Four dishes and two pots of wine cost over fifty taels, and the pot of wine for the table next to us cost twenty taels."

Mu Xiyue didn't think the money in her pocket was expensive, but if it were in the countryside, she would be heartbroken.

"Don't worry about the money. The money we have now is enough for us to use for a lifetime."

Shao Jie booked a private room, and Mu Xiyue and Xiao Tao followed him in.

Chi Yanzhi said that this teahouse belonged to Prince Jin's Mansion, and the private rooms in the teahouse were well soundproofed, so there was no need to worry about ears when saying things that could not be made public.

I didn’t expect Xiao Yibai to have so many teahouses, but this teahouse is much smaller than the one on Nan’an Street.

After the waiter served the tea, Mu Xiyue asked, "Master Shao, you want to tell me something, right?"

Shao Jie nodded and repeated everything he heard that day.

These four were all illegitimate sons of the mansion, but only Yu Qianchang, although a illegitimate son, was raised as a legitimate son by the Taifu Mansion, because Yu Qianchang was the only male heir in the Taifu Mansion in his generation.

The day before yesterday, after lunch, Shao Jie was squatting in the rockery cave in the mansion's garden, chirping at crickets. The mansion's second daughter, Shao Shuying, brought Mu Xiyu and Princess Qinyang to the pavilion in the garden to chat.

When Shao Jie heard that his second sister was entertaining her friends in the garden, he wanted to leave the cave immediately. However, Mu Xiyu started talking about Miss Mu from the Anyuan Marquis Mansion as soon as she sat down. Shao Jie was curious and hid in the cave and did not come out to listen to their conversation.

Mu Xiyue, as described by Mu Xiyu, was extremely vulgar and selfish. Relying on her status as the eldest daughter of the legitimate family, she acted domineeringly as soon as she returned to the Marquis' Mansion. She did not respect her parents, bullied her younger sister, and beat and killed servants. Even her father was beaten by her.

Mu Xiyue couldn't help laughing when she heard this. Xiao Tao said angrily, "Miss, this Mu Xiyu is too much. She actually slandered you like this outside."

Mu Xiyue waved her hands, "Don't be angry, anyone with a brain wouldn't believe what she said. I was sent to the countryside to fend for myself at the age of five. It's true that I've lived there for over ten years and I'm uncouth. Which young lady can hunt wild boars like you and me? As for being so arrogant in the Marquis' Mansion, I can only say that brains are a good thing. I was abandoned in the countryside for over ten years, and I can act so arrogantly in the Marquis' Mansion as soon as I return. How powerful must I be!"

Brainless Shao Jie: "......"

When Shao Jie heard this, he really thought Mu Xiyue was the person Mu Xiyu described, because Mu Xiyu looked so soft and weak outside, which made men want to protect her at first sight. Mu Xiyu sobbed from time to time when she spoke, so Shao Jie believed it at that time.

Yu Qianchang snorted coldly at Shao Jie, "I've long said that the Second Miss of the Mu family is kind-looking but vicious at heart, just like our Second Sister. She's used to pretending to be weak in front of others, and yet you called her gentle and charming last time. It's obvious that she's deliberately slandering Miss Mu with such words."

Shao Jie smiled awkwardly and continued, "That day, the three of them came up with a series of schemes to destroy you. I never imagined how they came up with them, and how they linked one thing to another."

Shao Jie told them the plan they had discussed in detail. After listening to what Shao Jie said, everyone present was shocked. Women are so scary!

Xiao Tao slammed her hand on the table in anger, "Miss, I'm going to kill Mu Xiyu when I get home tonight, so she won't cause you any trouble in your old age."

The four men were shocked again. This girl was also a ruthless person.

Mu Xiyue soothed him, "It's okay. There's no need to get angry at such a person. Don't you know how capable your young lady is? If she tries to scheme against me, I'll make her regret it."

The four men looked at each other and saw a sentence in each other's eyes: Are all women so scary?

Mu Xiyue turned around and asked the four of them, "Are you going to the Spring Banquet?"

Shao Jie said weakly, "Yes, I went. Princess Qinyang's flower viewing banquet has been held for four consecutive years. All the officials and daughters of the fifth rank and above in the capital are invited."

Mu Xiyue nodded, "I understand. I'll treat you all to a happy show then. Master Shao, what is your relationship with your second sister? I can spare her from being implicated for your sake."

Shao Jie shook his head. "Don't worry about me. I haven't been bullied by her much, but my two younger sisters are often bullied by her. She is just as hypocritical as Miss Mu Er, and she maintains a very good image in front of others."

So the status of legitimate and illegitimate children was really different in ancient times. Mu Xiyue picked up the teapot and poured it around. "Thank you for what Master Shao revealed to me today. I'll offer tea to you all instead of wine."

Chi Yanzhi took a sip of tea and said, "Miss Mu, Miss Shao, you can do whatever you want. It's not a big deal. But Princess Qinyang is a member of the royal family after all. You must be careful."

Mu Xiyue smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will know my limits."

After chatting with the four people, it was already the end of the afternoon. Mu Xiyue stood up and said goodbye. She had something else to do with Xiao Yibai.

After leaving the teahouse, Xiao Tao was still indignant. "Miss, why don't you kill Mu Xiyu tonight while she's asleep? That way she won't have to jump around all night. I'm so pissed off! How could they come up with such a vicious plan?"

Mu Xiyue smiled and soothed him, "Don't, what fun would it be if you crushed someone to death? If you really kill her at home, her companions will really think I'm bullying her in the mansion. Don't worry, you still have to cooperate with me then, and I guarantee you'll be happy."

It only took a quarter of an hour to walk from Dong'an Street to Prince Jin's Mansion. When they arrived, the gate guard immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Miss Mu, the prince is in the mansion. Please go in on your own. We will not lead the way for you."

Mu Xiyue nodded and took Xiaotao to Xiao Yibai's yard as if she was familiar with the place.

As soon as the two entered Prince Jin's Mansion, the secret guard reported to Xiao Yibai, so when they arrived, Qiyun was waiting for them in the yard.

"Miss Mu, I'm in the study, please go in. Xiaotao, please wait for me in the yard. I got you a soft sword, and I'm bringing it to you today."

After Qi Yun finished speaking, he didn't wait for the two to react and ran away using his lightness skills.
