The peerless and dark princess

After Mu Heng knew that Mu Wange and Mu Haolin had returned from Prince Yan's Mansion, he acted like a good father and sent a lot of jewelry to them that day, which made Mu Qiaoyun jealous but she didn't dare to say anything. After all, Mu Ruohan had already entered the mansion of the second prince Chen Yunfeng. When Mu Ruohan was in the Mu Mansion, she was not on good terms with Wange and Lanxin. Apart from liking Mu Ruohan and Mu Yucheng, Mu Heng didn't care about his other children at all. If Wange and Mu Haolin didn't have the Prince Yan's Mansion behind them, he probably wouldn't have paid much attention to them. Even so, Mu Heng didn't necessarily treat Mu Wange and her brother well.

It was precisely because Mu Wange and his sister had the Prince of Yan's Mansion behind them that Mu Heng disliked them but had to pretend to be nice to them all the time. Back when Luo Xi hadn't traveled through time, the original owner was played around by Mu Ruohan, but he turned a blind eye and didn't care. Because he was ambitious, but also vain and wanted to save face. Deep down, he was obsessed with the Chu family's foothold in the court...

"Sister, I heard that father had someone send over a lot of things a few days ago?"

"Well, isn't this something everyone knows?"

"Our fifth sister said a few words to that mother again, and then the Qiao family... Big sister, you have to be careful of the Qiao family..." Mu Lanxin couldn't help but give a few instructions, fearing that Mu Wange would go back to being as stupid as before.

"Third sister, I know what's going on with Qiao. If she's sensible now, she should firmly grasp our father's heart and the power of housekeeper." Mu Wange pretended to hear Qiao Yan's cold expression. "Well, now I'm familiar with running the shop for you, right?"

"Well, I'm familiar with it, big sister. Are the methods in your shops what you thought of? This is the first time I've seen it. I just made some minor corrections..." Mu Lanxin talked incessantly when she mentioned the shops in her hand, and her eyes were bright.

"Well, I used to be looking for the Second Prince all the time. One time, I met an old man who saw that I had a chance to tell him about it. Now that I'm awake, I..."

"Sister, can you let that person teach me too? I think..." Mu Lanxin felt that this old man was really smart, so she wanted to learn these things.

"I don't remember much, but he just said that and left."

"what?"

"Well, if I meet someone in the future, I'll tell them about it."

Seeing that Mu Lanxin looked a little regretful, Mu Wange gave her a little hope. She couldn't tell this person that she had traveled from another place and that her stupid sister had long since passed away.

"Third sister, you're here?"

Mu Haolin spotted Mu Lanxin and Mu Wange at the door, and happily walked into the house. Qingyu and Mu Ying followed behind, standing still at the door without even a word of greeting. Of course, Mu Lanxin had gotten used to these two people being around Mu Haolin, and her eldest sister didn't treat them as servants, so she didn't mind.

"Yeah. Did Lin'er just get out of school?"

"Yes, Madam has finished her lecture today. She will be writing later anyway. The teacher said we should write three pieces of calligraphy every day. However, the teacher praised Lin'er for his intelligence today."

"Our Lin'er is the smartest." Mu Lanxin tapped Mu Haolin's nose.

Mu Wange watched Mu Lanxin and Mu Haolin interacting in front of him. He thought that if Mu Lanxin had not been watching over him and if Old Madam Mu had not been watching over him, this little kid would probably not have grown up to this size.

"Okay, Lin'er, your third sister wants to talk to me about something. You should go and write, or you won't be able to finish it."

"Okay, I'll go right away, sister. Then third sister, please come visit Lin'er more often, and don't just remember fourth brother."

"Yes. Go and write."

After Mu Haolin got Mu Lanxin's promise, he took Mu Ying and Qing Yu back to the study in his own house next door.

In Yuecheng, the prefect, Tan Zhishu, was extremely busy. Although he wanted to take care of the victims, his superiors, the Second Prince, had blocked their way into Yuecheng. The prefect didn't have much food left. Yuecheng had been out of food for three days. If...

"Master Qin, we just received news that Prince Heng, Zuo Ci, and Minister Du are already outside the city with the food. Send someone immediately..."

"Who are you talking about?"

"Prince Heng, Zuo Ci, and Minister Du."

Qin Zhishu's heart skipped a beat. Although the Second Prince's men had been blocked in the city these days, Zuo Ci's men had been busy preparing food. If they hadn't secretly brought in some food, Yuecheng would have been littered with corpses. Although they had been out of food for three days, at least they had some porridge to fill their stomachs recently... However, it wasn't that his master hadn't originally planned to come in person. He knew that his master was a dandy nobleman in the capital, so how could he... But there was no time for overthinking. Now that the food had arrived, he should organize the people so that it could be distributed to the victims in an orderly manner...

"Agui, hurry to the city gate and persuade the people to clear a path so that the food can enter the city and be distributed to the people."

"Yes. If Lord Yu and those people at the city wall were to stop us..."

"Just kill him. Now that the prince and Minister Du are here, I'm sure everyone in the capital has already known about this. Even if..."

"it is good."

Du Yuanhuai looked at the tightly closed city gate and didn't know what to do for a moment. He had just captured the people surrounding the Second Prince, but some of them were on the other side of the city wall. Was he going to...

"Master Du, why don't you go into the city now?"

"Your Highness, the city gate has been locked, and some people have already retreated on the city wall. Your humble servant..." Although Du Yuanhuai looked down on Zuo Ci, he was a prince after all. Perhaps this playboy had some unconventional tricks that he could try.

"Well, Zuo Qi, you go ahead."

Zuo Ci asked Zuo Qi to leave, then he looked at Du Yuanhuai from the carriage, "My servant is very skilled in martial arts, so this will be no problem. However, does this count..."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for resolving this urgent matter. This is certainly a meritorious service." Du Yuanhuai stopped the indignant subordinate and spoke gently. After all, Zuo Ci had done a good deed; otherwise, they would have had to wait a long time to enter the city.

"Well, since Zuo Qi has taken action, Lord Du, please get on the carriage and wait." After saying that, Zuo Ci retreated back to the carriage.

"Sir, do you really believe that his servant can take care of those people on the city wall? They are not just a few people."

"So what if you don't trust me? Can you get up there? Or do you have another way?"

After Du Yuanhuai finished speaking, he went to the front and looked at the top of the city wall. He saw people swaying, and soon many people fell down. The guards who followed behind him were all stunned.

"Sir, this man is amazing."

"I don't know who it was just now..."

"Ahem, it's my fault for not knowing that there are people out there. Sir, please stop talking about me. Let's get ready to go into the city."
