The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?

It was late at night and everything was quiet outside. Mu Xiyue, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes and saw a figure standing by the door with his back to her.

"who?"

The figure lowered his voice and whispered, "Miss Mu, I'm sorry to break into your room without permission. My name is Qiyun, the man you saved on the mountain that day. I came here in the middle of the night because I have something to tell you."

That day on the mountain, she was sure that apart from the two people they rescued, no one else knew. It seemed that those two people were indeed powerful, but it was not difficult for them to find her.

Mu Xiyue got off the bed, picked up the coat hanging beside her and casually put it on.

"What's the matter? Come and tell me."

There was no light in the room, and only a very vague figure could be seen in the darkness. Qi Yun heard the sound of Mu Xiyue walking to the table and sitting down. He then turned around, lowered his head, walked a few steps to the table, and placed Xiao Yibai's jade pendant on the table.

"Miss Mu, this jade pendant was given to me by my master, the fifth prince of the dynasty, Prince Jin. Thank you so much for saving me that day, Miss Mu. If you need any help from my prince in the future, I will definitely help you."

Mu Xiyue didn't take the jade pendant from the table. "This brother came here so late at night, right?"

Qi Yun continued, "Yes, we found out that Marquis Anyuan brought you back to the capital to marry you off to the foolish grandson of Duke Chen's mansion. The master asked me to come and tell you, young lady, so that you can have an idea."

"Really? Tell me in detail." Mu Xiyue curled her lips silently. She knew that Mu Fengnian must have some conspiracy in taking her back home. It turned out that he had found a good marriage for her.

After Qi Yun left, Mu Xiyue lay back on the bed and sorted out what Qi Yun had told her in her mind. Very good, Mu Fengnian, I hope you won't regret taking me back.

Before noon of the second day, the carriage finally arrived at the Marquis' Mansion. Mu Xiyue looked up at the four big words "Anyuan Marquis' Mansion", curled her lips and smiled, then walked in.

Servants led the way, and Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao were led to Mu Fengnian's Wenqiyuan. Mu Xiyue knew that the man in front of her was the original owner's biological father, Mu Fengnian. Although Mu Fengnian was very vague in the original owner's memory, Mu Xiyue could still recognize him at a glance.

He looked handsome despite being under forty, but his eyes were a little dim.

Mu Xiyue didn't bow, but asked calmly: "Are you my father?"

Mu Fengnian frowned, "How can you talk like that? You don't even bow to me when you see me. Where are your manners?"

Mu Xiyue chuckled as if she had just heard a ridiculous joke. "Good manners? Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey today? How can I, a person left to fend for myself in the countryside, have good manners? Good manners need someone to teach and nurture you. My mother died early, and my father died just as early. How can I have good manners? Can good manners fill my stomach?"

Mu Fengnian was also able to endure it. He tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. After taking a deep breath, he said: "Yue'er, your father has indeed not taken good care of you these years. You have been unlucky since you were young, and your father had no choice but to send you to the countryside. Now you are of marriageable age, and your father brought you back in the hope of finding you a good marriage in Shangjing City."

Mu Xiyue was about to speak when footsteps were heard outside the yard, followed by a group of people walking in.

Leading the group was Liu Mei'er, followed by Mu Fengnian's two concubines and his son and daughter, but Mu Xiyue didn't recognize any of them.

Liu Mei'er was the first to speak: "This must be Yue'er, I haven't seen you for many years and you've grown so big. Mother has been looking forward to seeing you for so many days."

Mu Xiyue felt a little disgusted by the word "mother". Qiyun had roughly told her the situation in the Marquis' Mansion last night. She had already guessed that this was the concubine's wife Liu Mei'er.

"My mother has been dead for twelve years. May I ask who you are, old lady? You look old enough to be my grandmother, but isn't it a bit shameless to want to be my mother?"

Liu Mei'er actually looks to be less than 30 years old, definitely much younger than her actual age. Mu Xiyue is deliberately trying to disgust her.

When Liu Mei'er heard her words, the fake smile on her face gradually disappeared. The two concubines following behind her covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and laughed secretly. Finally, they saw Liu Mei'er being humiliated. It seemed that the rumors from a few days ago were true. This young lady was not simple.

Mu Fengnian could no longer maintain the fatherly demeanor he had just put on and shouted angrily, "Rebellious girl, this is your legitimate mother, how dare you be so disrespectful."

Mu Xiyue was too lazy to argue with these people. She rolled her eyes and walked out, saying as she walked, "Stop talking nonsense. I know where I live. Ask someone to show me the way."

This vulgar remark made Mu Fengnian so angry that he wanted to beat Mu Xiyue to death on the spot, "Stop, you, you rebellious girl, you are so vulgar."

Before he could finish scolding Mu Xiyue, she turned around abruptly and glanced at him fiercely, "Don't mess with me, you can't afford it."

Mu Fengnian had been to the battlefield with the old Marquis Anyuan in his early years, but he was frightened by Mu Xiyue's eyes. The curse words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter a word.

Mu Xiyue sneered contemptuously, "I'm tired, ask someone to lead the way for me."

Mu Fengnian came to his senses and felt a little annoyed. He was actually shocked by his own daughter, which made him very embarrassed. However, the secret guard who was sent to Mujia Village to investigate his daughter's past had just returned to the mansion and had no time to report to him. He suppressed his anger and asked the housekeeper outside the door to lead the way for Mu Xiyue and let her go back to the yard first.

The courtyard the Marquis's mansion had arranged for Mu Xiyue was a little out of the way, but the house itself wasn't too bad, with all the basic furnishings complete. It had a bedroom, a main hall, a small storeroom, a small kitchen in the courtyard, and two servants' quarters. This courtyard was much larger than the one she'd lived in back in the country, but it couldn't compare to the Wenqi Courtyard she'd just been in.

The house looked like it had been cleaned beforehand, so there was no need to bother. The yard was small, with only a large tree and no other flowers or plants, but it was tidy. The tree made it cooler in the summer.

Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao looked around the yard and found nothing to clean up.

It was already noon, and I didn't know where the main kitchen was. I was just about to go out to look for it when a maid came in from outside the yard. When she saw the two of them, she didn't know which one was the eldest lady, so she bowed in their direction.

"Greetings, Miss. Master invites you to the front for dinner."

Mu Xiyue raised her eyebrows. She had not shown any goodwill since she entered the mansion today, and Mu Fengnian actually came to ask her to have dinner in the front hall. So she would go and see what was going on.

The two of them arrived at the dining hall in front. Mu Xiyue asked the maid who led the way, "Where are you eating? Take Xiaotao to eat."

The maid seemed to be smart. She responded and took Xiaotao away.
