Don't panic, nephew. I will take this pot of evil star.

"Mu Mu?" She called him tentatively, but he thought it was his sister blaming him for running out without permission.

"Sister, I'm worried about you." Mu Mu leaned close to her ear and said quickly, "The gate is guarded. I set the fire."

She was startled, but then she saw him giving her a comforting look.

Mu Mu's real name is Mu Lanxun. Mu Mu is the nickname she gave it. At first, it was just to avoid being seen by others. Unexpectedly, as she called it that, it became more intimate.

He was originally the ninth prince of the royal family of the Chu Kingdom in the north. Five years ago, the Chu Kingdom was defeated by the Shangli Kingdom, and he was sent here as a hostage. He could only return to his country when he was eighteen years old.

When Mu Lanxun first came to Shangli Country, he was only ten years old, single, and had a sensitive identity. Everyone avoided him. Although he lived in the empty Zixiang Palace next to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was still an unwelcome person.

One night, the young boy happened to steal the cakes she had prepared for his father and was caught by her. She was also a teenager at that time, only one year older than him, and the two of them had been hostile to each other for a long time.

Later, she discovered that the identity of this fierce young boy was not simple, but his mind was pure. She always paid attention to him inadvertently, and their relationship became closer and closer.

Mu Lanxun is now fifteen years old, and the Emperor of Shangli Kingdom seems to have forgotten his existence. He only needs to wait another three years, and he will be able to return to Chu Kingdom safely without having to worry anymore.

Therefore, Feng Xili asked him not to appear in front of everyone unless necessary. If someone with ulterior motives took advantage of this to cause trouble, it would be dangerous.

He had been obedient and low-key for so many years, never appearing in public, but now he actually took the risk to show up. Feng Xili's heart was pounding.

She noticed that everyone was looking at the boy who suddenly appeared, and she wanted to cover his head with her veil.

She subconsciously grabbed Mu Lanxun's hand, shielding him behind her without leaving any trace, thinking about getting away quickly.

Mu Lanxun tilted his head to look at her, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Xiao Ze looked at Mu Lanxun carefully. He always felt that he had seen this young man somewhere, but he had no impression. When had this person been with this woman?

Could it be possible that she actually has someone else outside?

Thinking of this, Xiao Ze's face changed instantly. This shameless woman is just like her mother!

"Who are you, kid? Do you think you can just barge into the wedding hall?" Xiao Ze shouted angrily and was about to ask someone to drag him away.

Mu Lanxun narrowed her cold eyes slightly, "I didn't know that the wife and concubines in General Xiao's mansion have the same status and receive the same treatment?"

Xiao Ze is definitely not a good man, my sister cannot marry her.

Xiao Ze choked and stared at Mu Lanxun with a vicious look.

I have been planning for this day for half a year, how can I let this woman go easily?

Her mother dared to run away from marriage with my father, and then caused the destruction of my Zhongning Marquis Mansion. How could I possibly marry her?

It's impossible!

It doesn't matter if Fang Wenlin is gone, as long as I can keep her, I have the final say in everything!

Feng Xili was a little anxious. Mu Mu's identity was sensitive, and as a hostage, he couldn't move around freely.

Although he holds a royal title, the Emperor of Shangli Kingdom did not make any explicit statement. It is best not to cause any trouble and the most important thing is to get through these three years safely.

Although those past events are just pictures to Feng Xili now, she can empathize with the feeling of true love.

Thinking about it now, Xiao Ze was very surprised. After the engagement, the two of them were so dull and boring, and suddenly everything was delayed for another year.

Then, he inexplicably began to develop feelings for her, and finally the original owner fell in love with him. It should have been a happy thing for everyone.

But his actions today don’t make sense!

……

Could it be? Did he do this on purpose? Did he deliberately deceive the original owner's feelings just to humiliate her at the wedding ceremony today?

But why?

Feng Xili was puzzled and looked back and forth at Xiao Ze and the festive candles and red silk with inquiring eyes.

Mu Lanxun stared at her without blinking, her eyes flickering. Her sister was a little different today. Was she mad at Xiao Ze?

How should I bring my sister home?

He thought of Nanny Jiang who suddenly died this morning. The cause of death was strange.

However, I didn't expect to learn about Xiao Ze's hidden life experience from Nanny Jiang.

He looked at Feng Xili with mixed feelings. Should he wade into this muddy water or not?

Nanny Jiang's words were the secrets of the Marquis' Mansion and could not be fully believed, but they could not be disbelieved either. After all, the level of torture during Yuanri's confession was obvious to all.

Xiao Ze was completely unaware of the ups and downs in the hearts of these two people. He only saw Feng Xili looking at him intently, while the boy stared at her intently.

He was unhappy, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Feng Xili was his prey, and no one else was allowed to touch her.

He narrowed his eyes, made up his mind, and knelt on one knee in front of Feng Xili.

"Xixi, I was wrong. I just heard Fang Wenlin say that you and he were sharing your innermost feelings, and I was jealous, so I didn't carefully distinguish the truth from the falsehood. Can you forgive me?"

Xiao Ze's action shocked everyone except Feng Xili.

In this world, men control the world. As a general, he bows to the heaven and earth and the emperor, and to his parents and loyal followers. How could he kneel down and worship a woman?

Feng Xili felt a chill on her back, and she stared at him as if he was the King of Hell who was demanding her life.

This is like putting her on the fire! What a huge hatred and resentment! !

The more he tried to keep her, the more she wanted to leave.

Others don't know what those love poems are about, but she knows it very clearly. Without Xiao Ze's instructions, how could Fang Wenlin get them so easily?

Xiao Ze pushed all the blame onto Fang Wenlin, and now he repents and is sincere and infatuated with her. He is also willing to treat her as his legal wife and promises to be with her alone.

Logically speaking, it would be fine if Xiao Ze could achieve this level.

After all, it was unprecedented for a concubine's daughter to become a general's wife.

Feng Xili frowned. What a joke! Whoever wants to be the legitimate wife can do it!

"General Xiao, we've been married since birth and love each other deeply. However, there's a rift in trust between us. Let's just live our own lives from now on."

She bowed to him formally, turned around, took Mu Lanxun's hand and prepared to leave.

Xiao Ze's face turned pale, filled with shame at being rejected and anger at his prey trying to escape. Impulsively, he stepped forward and grabbed her wrist.

"Xixi!" The low voice was filled with intense coldness. Feng Xili felt severe pain in her wrist, but she couldn't break free.

Mu Lanxun's eyes turned cold instantly, and a string in his head snapped.

The next moment, he grabbed Xiao Ze's arm, which was holding his sister's wrist, and secretly gathered strength.

"Mu Mu!" Feng Xili called out softly, but in the blink of an eye, a severed finger with a ring appeared in front of her eyes.

A severed finger! The kind with jagged wounds, dried blood, and a pale, bluish-gray appearance.

Her soft cry was hoarse in her mouth, her whole body was stiff, and Mu Mu's gentle voice came to her ears: "Sister, don't look."

Mu Lanxun held the severed finger calmly. He and Xiao Ze faced each other. Feng Xili stood beside them, just blocking everyone's view of the severed finger.

"General, you should be very familiar with this severed finger. How about I hand it over to you?"

The boy's clean and cold voice was full of oppression.

Feng Xili lowered her head, looking a little confused. Is this Mu Mu?

When Xiao Ze saw the severed finger clearly, his heart skipped a beat and his face changed drastically.
