She was startled and looked around with a frown, but she didn't find Mu Mu. But the look in his eyes just now really looked like Mu Mu. Was I seeing things?

She laughed mockingly. Didn't Mu Mu say he had something to do? He didn't say where he was going, what he was doing, or when he would be back. Since he had his own plans, let him go!

Mu Lanxun, who was hiding in the crowd, was also surprised when he met her eyes. He was almost discovered. He felt depressed, not knowing whether he was lost or relieved.

He turned around and prepared to leave, but out of the corner of his eye he saw the little fat boy walking straight towards Feng Xili. The light in his eyes was like two arrows that stopped him in his tracks.

He stood there in a daze, his eyes widening in disbelief at the sudden realization.

Just as he was about to turn around, he was met with a pair of cold eyes, which were full of disapproval and even a hint of anger.

He clenched his fists, closed his eyes, suppressed the urge to turn around, and walked out of the Yunyan Palace in a few steps.

Sister, I will go there and come back soon, please don’t ignore me.

"Sister!" Feng Tianxu quickly walked to Feng Xili's side, wiped her sweat with a handkerchief, and kept praising her: "Sister, you are so amazing. You don't know how many young masters from noble families have been fascinated by you."

He was a little excited, but also a little dissatisfied. The way those people looked at my sister was so disgusting!

"Sister, what song is that? Why have I never heard you play it?" Feng Tianxu asked casually, and from time to time glared at those who were frequently looking over here to inquire.

Feng Xili took off her artificial nails and pressed down his hand that kept wiping her sweat. "I saw it in a travelogue of humanities before. I tried playing it a few times and it felt very meaningful."

He looked at the elder sister in front of him and felt that she was so dazzling today that he couldn't look at her directly.

Fan Lingsi and the others turned pale as they watched her suddenly attract everyone's attention in such a high-profile manner that they wished they could scratch her face on the spot.

This scheming little bitch! She must be pretending to be stupid on purpose, just to let them down their guard, and then she'll come back with a surprise attack, just to impress everyone. Her scheming is really deep!

Humph! No matter how outstanding you are, it's impossible for a wealthy family to marry a concubine to lead the family!

These people were all jealous and pouted as if they didn't care.

When she finally returned to her Lanshang Garden and saw the familiar figure, Feng Xili hugged the person and called out weakly.

"Fenfang, Fenfang, you're finally back. If you hadn't come back, Laixiang and the others would have pissed me off to death."

As soon as she entered the room, she hugged Fenfang without any image. Fenfang had been gone for many days and she had no tea to drink. The two maids, Lai Xiang and Lai Ye, were chattering every day. Every time Wen Hui came, she had to entertain them herself. It was so tiring.

Fenfang raised her hand and patted her on the back, smiling, "Miss, I'm back, aren't I?"

"Yeah, you can't walk for such long periods of time in the future." She looked at Fenfang and noticed she had become thinner and darker. Wasn't she going back to her hometown to worship her ancestors? Why was she so tired?

"Sister, I'm hungry, let's eat quickly!" Feng Tianxu saw her hugging Fenfang and crying to the sky, and he just found it funny. How could a young lady from a noble family be so dependent on a maid?

"You've been out for the whole day. Why are you wasting time here with me instead of going to your wife?" She complained as she sat down at the table and put a piece of his favorite dish into his bowl with her chopsticks.

Feng Tianxu smiled warmly and picked up a piece of food for her with his chopsticks as a courtesy. The two of them kept picking up food for each other as if they were playing, until there was little food left on the plates, while her two bowls were filled with various kinds of food.

After eating and drinking, Feng Tianxu went to his mother's place. He had been urged to leave many times, and Feng Xili didn't dare to keep him any longer. As soon as she put down her bowl and chopsticks, she pushed him out.

"Ah... Fenfang is still the real deal. The tea you brew is just delicious. The tea made by Laixiang and the others just doesn't taste as fragrant as yours."

After dinner, she held the cup of tea and drank it contentedly. The aroma of jasmine made her feel drowsy, but no, she hadn’t finished her bath yet!

Fenfang took the teacup and said, "Okay, Miss, it's not good to drink too much tea before going to bed at night." She turned around and took the teacup away.

"You've been soaking for almost half an hour. Come out quickly or you'll catch a cold." She waited by the side holding a clean towel.

Humph! Old lady!

Maybe she really drank too much tea, she tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep.

As soon as she closed her eyes, she saw various clips of the tea banquet, sometimes it was Luo Yurong, sometimes it was Chu Linxuan, sometimes it was Zuo Feng and the others, and finally that familiar look, which made her uneasy.

She sat up dejectedly, leaned against the window and looked at the sky. It was a full moon today!

When I glanced outside, I inexplicably recalled the thrilling night with Mu Mu.

Why did she think of him again? She frowned.

Mu Mu has only been away for a few days. Although he calls me sister, we are not related by blood. Separation is inevitable. Not to mention that he is the prince of the Chu Kingdom. Even if he does not fight for that position in the future, he is still a royal relative.

What am I thinking about?

She shook her head and smiled bitterly, frightened by the thought that crossed her mind at that moment.

Mu Mu had already offended Xiao Ze because of him. His situation wasn't much better than his own. If he was in trouble, how could he help him? He had even provided the people who protected him. He was in such a difficult situation, yet he still wanted to take care of himself.

Her eyelashes closed gently, and her heart was bitter.

He didn't want to say what he was going to do, maybe because I couldn't help and he didn't want me to worry.

Her heart was beating violently and her whole body was hot.

When she came to her senses again, she found herself standing in the courtyard of Zixiang Palace, and the light was on in the study where Mu Mu often stayed.

Her heart skipped a beat and she ran there without thinking, seemingly forgetting that she was still wearing thin pajamas.

When I pushed open the door of the study, I saw only a lonely lamp. It was quiet all around, with no one and no sound.

She closed the door silently and completely understood her own heart.

She sat on the doorstep in a daze, analyzing herself carefully.

When I first came here and saw Mu Mu, I felt nothing unusual, which meant that they had always been like siblings. When did things start to go wrong?

Was it when he helped her escape Xiao Ze's trap? Or when she confessed her past and he accepted it completely? Or when he spared no effort to ask the ghost doctor to heal her?

still is……

She hugged her knees, buried her head in her arms, and shrank into a small form. The cold moonlight sprinkled all over her body. She trembled slightly, not knowing whether it was because of her secret crying or because of the cool breeze in the night.

The lush trees in the yard were also shaking, and the rustling sound of branches and leaves rubbing against each other accompanied her quietly like an old friend.

The sky gradually faded away from darkness, and Feng Xili was sitting on the steps, swaying. The next moment, her body tilted and she fell into a soft embrace.
