The peerless and dark princess

"Thank you, father. You just returned home and must be tired. I will take my leave first."

Mu Wange didn't intend to have an unpleasant argument with Mu Heng, so she just took the opportunity to smooth things over.

"Okay, Ada, take some gifts and send the young lady and the young master back to the yard."

"Thank you father."

When Ah Da heard that it was a gift for the eldest lady, he didn't think much about it. He led a few servants to pick out a lot of things for the boudoir and followed Mu Wange and Mu Haolin. Mu Ruohan's eyes were slightly red. If Shen Xinyue hadn't secretly pulled her back, the fierceness in her eyes would have been revealed to Mu Heng.

Mu Wange walked in front holding Mu Haolin's hand, and didn't even think about what gift Mu Heng brought back for her. She was also thinking that Mu Heng was really a handsome man, no wonder he had so many beautiful concubines.

If it weren't for Mu Wange's good eyesight, she would have been fooled by Mu Heng's pretended elegance. Unfortunately, when she mentioned Prince Yan's Mansion, Mu Heng revealed his flaws and his great ambition.

Mu Wange likes ambitious people, but ambition does not mean greed. On the one hand, she relies on the relationship with Prince Yan's Mansion, and on the other hand, she is closely involved with many princes. She also has to create a neutral attitude. Her appetite is too big. Isn't she afraid of being overstuffed?

Mu Lanxin and her brother supported their aunt (her mother). Mu Qiaoyun took a look and wanted to stay, but her mother pulled her away with a very ugly look.

Only Mu Heng, Shen Xinyue, Mu Ruohan and Mu Yucheng were left present.

Even though Shen Xinyue was feeling uncomfortable, she still appeared to be extremely gentle and considerate of Mu Heng's feelings. "Master, you must be tired. Let's go back to the yard to freshen up and get over our fatigue. Then, we can have a meal together as a family. What do you think?"

"Xinyue, just take care of the arrangements. Yucheng, what have you learned from the Second Prince recently?"

"I'm currently studying with the Second Prince at the academy. I've made friends with many of the sons of the rich and powerful. I've also gradually come into contact with some of the officials currently in office..."

Seeing Mu Heng asking and answering questions, Mu Yucheng followed Mu Heng's steps and responded.

"Well, that's good. Then..."

"Dad, you tested my brother as soon as you got back, but you haven't asked me yet?"

Although Mu Ruohan has always lived in the inner house, she knows a lot about Mu Yucheng's friends. However, if Mu Heng asks any more, it might cause trouble. After all, she knows her brother very well. In order to avoid being exposed, Mu Ruohan interrupted Mu Heng's next question.

Mu Wange took Mu Haolin back to the yard. Ada, who was following behind, delivered the pile of gifts to the yard and then left.

When the maids and servants in the yard saw these gifts, they couldn't help but wonder if the eldest lady gave them to them because she was favored by the master Mu Heng.

However, as for the maids in these courtyards, except for the newly added maids and Yihua, Qingzhu and Shiqi who all knew Mu Wange's plan, the others were just left there.

After Ah Da left, Mu Haolin, with slightly red eyes, pulled Mu Wange aside for a while before softly saying, "Sister, does father dislike you and Lin'er?"

"Well, Lin'er, why do you think so?"

Wange did not directly tell Mu Haolin whether Mu Heng liked them as siblings or not. She just felt that Mu Haolin seemed to have changed a lot and became much smarter. It seemed that Zuo Ci's conditioning of Mu Haolin was beginning to show results.

"It was clearly Aunt Shen who didn't tell you that father would be back today, yet father was angry with you without asking why. And he didn't even ask Lin'er where she was, even though he knew she was. So, Lin'er feels like father doesn't like her and me, while uncle and second uncle are very nice to Lixiu and the other brothers..."

Mu Haolin pulled Mu Wange's fingers, tilted his head slightly and looked into Mu Wange's eyes and said.

"Well, Lin'er is quite smart. Yes, father doesn't like you, and neither does he. But, he is our father, and we can't just say bad things about him. He doesn't like us, so it's good that I like you... You can also play with brother Yuqi and my third sister, as well as brother Lixiu and the others. Brother Lixiu and the others like Lin'er..."

"Well, it's good that Lin'er has a sister who likes him."

Mu Haolin watched Wange intently. Their time together had made him extremely dependent on her, fearing she would return to her old ways of ignoring him. It was only his third sister, Mu Lanxin, who visited him, but she was often bullied by the servants. Now, living with Mu Wange in Tingxue Garden, with Qingyu, Nanny Chen, Yihua, and others caring for him and keeping him company, he felt perfectly content and didn't want to go back to those times.

Therefore, Mu Haolin is particularly attached to Mu Wange.

"Lin'er, I've always liked you, but you'll have to find a wife when you grow up, and there will be more people you like, so don't forget me."

After Mu Wange finished speaking, she tapped Mu Haolin's nose with her other hand.

"Then it would be better if Lin'er didn't look for a wife."

"Haha, Lin'er, you're so cute."

Mu Wange played with Mu Haolin for a while, then asked Qingzhu to take him to play with Qingzhu.

Yesterday, Nanny Chen also asked a human trafficker to buy a few dolls. Although Nanny Chen sometimes wanted to question Wange's decisions, she was still cautious in her actions. It was just that she had been with the old lady for too long and was not very flexible. If she persuaded her properly, she would still do things according to Wange's words.

Seeing that she did this for the sake of the two of them, Mu Wange let her do as she pleased. However, Mu Wange still had to keep the matters of principle in his hands.

"Madam Chen, go and call that boy named Jiang Lin over."

"Jiang Lin?"

"That's the little boy you called a ruthless boy who didn't want to stay."

"Okay. I'll have him come over right away. However, that young man looks very fierce. Do you really want him to stay with the young master?"

"He is ruthless, but he is still a child after all. What trouble can he stir up? Besides, whether he can stay by Lin'er's side in the future remains to be seen. Don't you think that Lin'er needs such a ruthless person to protect him? Although Qingzhu's brother is a good match for Lin'er, Lin'er is the legitimate son of the Shangshu Mansion. How can he not have someone by his side..."

"Miss, are you making plans for the young master now? Don't we still have the master?"

"Madame Chen, I know you used to live with grandma. Since grandma has assigned you to my courtyard, I will not let you go back. I also know that you are sincerely doing this for the good of my sister and me, and I trust you very much. You also know that there are no other maids in my courtyard, so Yihua, Shiqi and you are the only ones I trust in this courtyard. If you trust me, just follow my instructions. I will find a bright future for Lin'er. Shangshu Mansion? Do you think father really values ​​the young master? If it weren't for grandma's protection, I'm afraid that Lin'er and I would have been killed long ago... From now on, we can only rely on ourselves in our courtyard, so I don't need anyone from the outside courtyard. It's the same reason why you only want to find clean people around you. If you want glory and wealth, you have to fight for it, right?"

Mu Wange sat down and drank tea, waiting for Nanny Chen's answer. Although Mu Wange was 80% sure, he still felt a little nervous.
