The peerless and dark princess

“Brother, what are you saying???”

Li Xiao was a little skeptical that such a small banquet could have such a plot, so he turned to ask Chu Lianyue, "Dad, is this what Big Brother meant by that?"

"Li Xiao, it's just as your elder brother said." Chu Lianyue gave Li Xiao an affirmative answer.

Chu Lixiao's face changed in disbelief, and he wanted to say something, but seeing his family members' pensive expressions, he kept quiet. Chu Lixiao was only seventeen years old. Even if he was a bit more mature in this era, he was still young and naturally wouldn't think too much. Furthermore, the Chu family was a clean family, so naturally, they wouldn't think about the intrigues in the harem.

But compared to other children from aristocratic families, he was considered a rare talent. In fact, the Queen had considered targeting Chu Lixiao, but Huang Qinya had already spread the news that the marriage was already arranged, and Chu Lixiu had a fortune-telling from a high monk at Gaochan Temple when he was young, stating that it was not advisable to get engaged too early, preferably after the age of twenty. Initially, the Chu family didn't take it seriously, but Chu Lixiu used this fortune-telling to block the imperial marriage. After Chu Lianyue answered Chu Lixiao's question, he fell into deep thought, thinking about how to stop the Queen's intentions.

"Mom, actually Wange reminded me back then that she had a plan, but she was just afraid that everyone else's plan would be better than hers."

Seeing that everyone had been thinking for a long time without saying anything, Chu Moxuan said softly to Yu Yan'er, "How about we..."

"Xuan'er, are you saying that Ge'er not only reminded me, but also thought of a solution?"

Yu Yan'er's eyes lit up and she held Chu Moxuan's hand tightly. This sound awakened everyone who was lost in thought.

"Xuan'er? Are you saying Wange reminded you? And even thought of a way?" Li Xiu was a little surprised. He had noticed a significant change in his cousin this time, a completely different person, but he simply assumed she was hurt by the Second Prince, Chen Yunfeng, which was why he was so surprised. "Li Xiu, it was really Ge'er who reminded you of this Xuan'er matter. Your grandmother and I didn't think of this. I don't know how Ge'er figured out the conspiracy of that person in the palace."

"Then Li Xiao, go call Ge'er."

"Yes, grandma." Li Xiao knew that this matter concerned Chu Moxuan and the Chu family, so he immediately went to the courtyard where Wange lived.

"I originally wanted to let Ge'er and her brother have a good time at home for a few days, but I didn't expect that girl to tell these things..."

Lu Yisan sighed softly, but at the same time she was very happy, happy about Mu Wange's intelligence and quick thinking.

When Chu Lixiao went to see Mu Wange, she guessed it was Chu Moxuan's problem. However, she hadn't expected her aunt and uncle to discuss it with Old Man Chu and the others so quickly. It seemed they really had no better solution. Indeed, the Hundred Flowers Banquet was only a few days away. She probably assumed it would be around the time her father returned from accompanying the Crown Prince on his visit.

"Brother, I'm coming right away."

Mu Wange replied as she asked Yihua to help Mu Haolin sleep. She was already tired after a day of fun. She then tidied her clothes and followed Chu Lixiao.

"Second brother, are you looking for me because of Sister Mo Xuan?" "Yes, Xuan'er said it was you who reminded her. Everyone is thinking of a solution. Grandma, let me come to find you..."

"Second brother, don't grandma, uncle and aunt have any good ideas?" Mu Wange frowned. He couldn't think of a solution, but his own method was also a bit risky.

"I heard from Xuan'er, Wange, have you come up with a solution?"

"Brother, I have an idea, but it's not mature yet and quite risky, so I didn't tell Sister Mo Xuan about it."

……

When Wange followed Chu Lixiao to the conference room, it was quiet inside and everyone was in deep thought.

"Grandma, can't we just let my sister get sick?" Chu Liyin saw that everyone looked thoughtful and thought it was very simple, but she was afraid of being scolded if she said it out loud.

"Li Yin!" Huang Qinya shouted coldly, "If it's just because your sister is sick that you can feel it, why is the whole family here thinking about it?"

"Qin Ya, Li Yin is also for Xuan Er's sake."

Lu Yishan heard the voice and said, "Is Miss Wange coming over?"

"Meet my grandparents, uncles and aunts, big brother, and Sister Mo Xuan."

Mu Wange stepped forward and bowed, then sat down on the chair next to Chu Moxuan.

Yu Yan'er walked over to Chu Moxuan and grabbed Mu Wange's hand, "Wange, Xuan'er said you have a way to deal with Xuan'er Heshi, is that true? You won't do that for..."

Yu Yan'er was a little worried. After all, Mu Wange had been in love with Chen Yunfeng to the point where everyone knew about it. Would he really help his daughter? Given this, Yu Yan'er would still favor her daughter. "Ayan!!"

Chu Lianyao quickly interrupted Yu Yan'er's unfinished words, and Old Master Chu and Old Madam also looked a little embarrassed.

Chu Lianyue, Huang Qinya, and several younger students were also shocked, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, especially Chu Lianyao and Chu Lixiu.

"Aunt, even though Wange wasn't very close to you before, I couldn't possibly lie to you about this. Besides, the Queen might have arranged a marriage for the Second Prince. If I were really that foolish, I would have been jealous of Sister Mo Xuan. How could I possibly harm her?"

Mu Wange wasn't very angry, but judging by the original owner's foolishness, she might have really harmed Chu Moxuan, as long as the Second Prince promised to marry "her". However, Mu Wange was no longer the same person as before, so naturally she wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

"elegy……"

Yu Yan'er came back to her senses and stammered, not knowing what she had just said, because of the malicious speculation she had just made.

Chu Moxuan, standing nearby, felt the same way. Having just overheard her mother's suspicions about Wange, she also began to distrust Wange. "Aunt, I understand your concerns. It's my fault for being so bad before. After all, I've changed so drastically, no one would believe me. But, Aunt, I hope this is just the beginning. After all, it's not easy to be distrusted by your loved ones. I don't want to have to make all the calculations when I return to Prince Yan's Mansion..."

Mu Wange's words left everyone stunned. They realized that their sister, who was supposed to be loved, had really changed. She was no longer as weak and stupid as rumored in the past. She had become rational, intelligent, and seemed ruthless.

In front of the Chu family, Mu Wange only showed a hint of ruthlessness, not letting them know the ruthlessness in his bones. Because they cared about the original owner's relatives, that's why...

"Sister Wange, I'm here to apologize to you on behalf of my mother. Brother..."

"Uncle, I also apologize to you on behalf of your aunt. Wange, it was your uncle who failed to take good care of you and your sister, and now your aunt is..."

Chu Lianyao felt deeply guilty. He hadn't taken good care of Wanran's child, and his wife even doubted her granddaughter's intentions. In his heart...

"What are you talking about, uncle? We are a family, and Wange doesn't mean to blame my aunt. I just said this in the hope that everyone won't doubt me in the future. It has caused..."

"Wangge is right, we are all family. So let's stop talking about these nonsense."

Lu Yishan was a little angry at the time, but then she understood her daughter-in-law's concerns and didn't say anything. She also wanted to see how Wange had changed during this period. "But, Yan'er, don't doubt Wange anymore. Qinya, you too. Let's get back to the point and talk about Xuan'er. Come on, Wange, tell me your plan."
