The peerless and dark princess

Zuo Ci suddenly remembered why Mu Wange had emphasized that it was her cup. Then, his ears took on a faint pink hue, but Mu Wange didn't notice it because of his dark hair. Zuo Ci couldn't refuse the tea, as he had already taken a sip.

"By the way, why did you come here tonight?"

"I've come to see you. Your father is getting married. Will you, his daughter, be sad?"

"What's there to be sad about? If I'm sad, won't he marry someone else? If you have time to be sad, you might as well do your own thing."

Mu Wange said lightly, not affected by Mu Heng's marriage, and even her facial expression did not change at all.

"You're quite clear-headed. By the way, I'm borrowing Xiaojiu to go to Southern Xinjiang and have found someone to secretly protect you."

"Well, thank you, but I'm in the mansion, so how could I be in any danger?"

"I'm afraid that you might be harmed by your aunt. Where can I find such a smart ally..."

Mu Wange rolled his eyes at Zuo Ci, stopped talking, and picked up the fruit beside him and started eating.

Mu Wange felt that she had become more and more fond of rolling her eyes since she met Zuo Ci. She never did that in the modern era.

"By the way, do you think Chu Lianyao can subdue the Southern Xinjiang soldiers and generals?"

"Of course," Mu Wange answered without hesitation. "If it were just my uncle, he might not notice anything wrong, but my cousin Chu Lixiu is accompanying the army on this expedition, so he will definitely notice something wrong. The reason I sent the letter to Brother Lixiu was to be prepared..."

"You believe in Chu Lixiu's ability. What if he doesn't notice?"

"Isn't there a letter from me there?"

After Mu Wange finished speaking, she took a bite of the apple. The crisp sound made Zuo Ci look at her straight in the eye. "What's wrong? Have you never seen anyone eat an apple before?"

"I've never seen a girl eat an apple like this. The way she eats..."

"Why? Anyway, I'm not a girl. If I were one of those girls, how could I work with you?"

"That's true."

"That's fine, I'm not the kind of girl who stays at home."

Mu Wange said nonchalantly, "Oh, right, I told Ah Jiu to take over those things when she returns from Southern Xinjiang..."

"Well, I see."

Zuo Ci looked at Mu Wange, who had no image of a noble lady in front of him, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart. He couldn't think of how to describe it, but he just felt very comfortable and wanted to continue like this.

"Huh? Why are you staring at me?"

"Who's staring at you?" Zuo Ci quickly looked away. "I, I'm going back. The person I arranged will be here tomorrow."

"understood."

Mu Wange's voice reached Zuo Ci's ears from inside the room. Zuo Ci's heart suddenly began to beat like a drum. He immediately recalled the time he had spent with Mu Wange. He seemed to like talking to Mu Wange more and more...

The next morning, Mu Wange went to the courtyard of Madam Mu Jiang early in the morning, waiting for Qiao Yan to come and pay her respects.

Shen Xinyue, a concubine, also arrived early, looking like she was enjoying the show. She even arrived at Madam Mu's yard earlier than Mu Wange.

After a while, even the girls like Mu Ruohan arrived, and then Madam Mu asked them to come in. After Mu Wange, Shen Xinyue and others entered the hall, Mu Yucheng and Mu Yuqi also arrived.

At this moment, Mu Heng and Qiao Yan also arrived.

Mu Wange smiled slightly. This cheap father did a good job. He was a second wife, but he even came with her to pay her respects. His gentlemanly appearance was disgusting.

"Mother, your son and his wife Qiao Yan greet you."

Mu Heng and Qiao Yan handed the tea to Madam Mu respectfully.

"reward."

The gifts that Old Lady Mu handed to Mu Heng and Qiao Yan were a pair of white jade bracelets and the Goddess of Childbirth. The purpose was self-evident: to have many children and good fortune.

Shen Xinyue, Mu Ruohan and others were all looking at Mu Wange's expression. Mu Wange seemed not to see the gifts and did not even raise his eyelids.

However, Yihua behind Mu Wange looked indignant.

After Mu Heng and Qiao Yan accepted the gifts, Mu Wange said calmly, "Grandma, I guess you must remember what you and father said yesterday. So, I asked Qingzhu to bring my mother's tablet..."

Shen Xinyue, Mu Ruohan, and Mu Yucheng suddenly perked up a bit, as if they'd encountered something of interest. Mu Wange glanced at them and sneered inwardly. It was inevitable to read gossip when there were so many women around. Even someone like Shen Xinyue was the same. But what about Mu Yucheng...

"Mu Wange!!!"

Mu Heng recalled his humiliating appearance yesterday and immediately became furious. His tone became even more severe. "What are you doing so early in the morning?"

"Father, the elegy you promised us yesterday in front of everyone is no longer valid, right?"

"I never promised that, it was just..."

"It's just the situation, right, Dad." Mu Wange held Mu Haolin's hand tightly, afraid that he would be frightened. "It turns out that after father got married, he forgot about his daughter and Lin'er. If father doesn't like my sister and me, we can just go back to Prince Yan's Mansion. Grandpa and grandmother will definitely like us..."

When Mu Heng heard Mu Wange mention Prince Yan's Mansion, he thought of the brothers Chu Lianyao and Chu Lianyue. Ever since Chu Wanran passed away, they had been extremely cold to him. If it weren't for Mu Wange and his sister, they would have followed those pedantic ministers long ago. Moreover, there must be a lot of things about him that the Chu family must know a little bit about. The reason why they didn't touch him was entirely because of Wange and Mu Haolin... Thinking of this, Mu Heng calmed down immediately.

"Elegy, you..."

"If father agrees, Wange will take Lin'er back to Prince Yan's Mansion right away."

At this moment, Shen Xinyue immediately stopped her gloating expression, while Mu Ruohan and Mu Yucheng seemed to be deep in thought, and no one knew what they were thinking. You could see a pin drop in their eyes.

Qiao Yan took a secret glance and saw that the play was almost over, then she spoke in a tone full of grievance, "Master, I will do it."

When Mu Heng heard this, he felt relieved. "Madam, I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position."

Then, he patted the back of Qiao Yan's hand.

Seeing that Mu Heng and Qiao Yan had compromised, Mu Wange signaled Shiqi and Qingzhu to hold Chu Wanran's tablet in front and let Qiao Yan respectfully offer tea.

Shiqi took the tea and poured it on the ground. Mu Heng was a little unhappy but didn't say anything. Of course, Mu Wange also gave her a hairpin, "This is a gift from Wange to 'Mother' on behalf of my mother."

Qiao Yan did not feel that this was a humiliation. When she decided to cooperate with Mu Wange, her previous Qiao Yan had already died. The grievances she suffered now were just the beginning. However, she admired her father Mu Wange very much. She was dealing with her own biological father.
