In the past, this place was specially for Shen Muxue to live in, but now it has been redecorated and looks even more beautiful.

"Wow! There are wisteria flowers and a swing here! It's my absolute favorite!"

After entering the yard, Shen Luoxi was so excited that she almost jumped up, as happy as a child who had received a favorite gift.

Seeing her daughter so happy, Mrs. Kang also showed a kind smile, gently stroked the back of her hand, and said softly: "Okay, baby, then this yard is for you to live in. You can decorate it however you want, as long as you feel comfortable."

Many maids and servants following behind couldn't help but secretly observe the changes in Shen Muxue's expression. Normally, even the prince would be polite to her, but now her room was occupied by someone else, and she could still remain so calm?

This surprised them greatly.

Faced with such a situation, Shen Muxue acted calmly and followed everyone into the main hall.

The bedroom is on the left side of the main hall, and the study is on the right side. The decoration design of every place is very fresh and elegant, making people feel comfortable and cozy.

When Shen Luoxi walked into the study, she was immediately attracted by a guqin placed on the table. Driven by curiosity, she went forward and plucked the strings a few times, making a clear and pleasant sound. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a great guqin~"

Hearing this, Mrs. Kang smiled and responded, "This is a treasure my mother-in-law left me. Even your brother can't touch it easily. From now on, this zither is yours!"

At the same time, Mrs. Kang deliberately looked back at Shen Muxue who was standing behind her, as if she wanted to see what she was thinking at the moment.

Faced with all these sudden changes, Shen Muxue just lowered her head and muttered to herself: I must find an opportunity to enter the palace as soon as possible. As for these material possessions, they are not important. Whoever likes them can own them.

Although there was not much expression on her face, she already had a clear direction in her mind.

Fortunately, after a thorough inspection, someone suddenly noticed something was wrong. "Oh, mother, is there someone living here?"

Shen Muxue frowned as she pondered how to respond. She originally thought she could just remain silent and pretend that nothing mattered.

Mrs. Kang glared at her fiercely, and she had no choice but to smile apologetically, "Well... I lived there before, and now it's your turn. I think the Fallen Leaf Courtyard over there is pretty nice too, and I've always wanted to move there."

The place is located in the northwest corner deep in the courtyard, and is a remote and desolate place.

Mrs. Kang was obviously very satisfied with the proposal and stopped her fierce look.

"That's not okay. How can I occupy my sister's yard?"

Shen Luoxi said anxiously.

Mrs. Kang held Shen Luoxi's hand lovingly and said, "This is your home. Everything in the house belongs to you. Your sister has used your things for so many years. It's only right that she returns them to you now. Don't blame yourself."

Everyone started looking at Shen Muxue secretly again.

Shen Muxue thought to herself: "System, does it have an invisibility spell? I'm so embarrassed."

[No, please come to the palace immediately.]

"Sister, I really didn't know this was your yard. I like it here very much. Can we live here together?"

Shen Luoxi happily pulled Shen Muxue, and her innocent look made people feel soft-hearted.

"Okay."

Shen Muxue smiled foolishly. She wouldn't be staying here for many days anyway, so there was no need to be too serious.

At this time, a maid came in carrying a birdcage and said, "Prince Xuan sent a parrot, saying it is for the young lady to entertain her."

It seems that she doesn't know much about the situation outside.

"Who is Prince Xuan? This parrot is so beautiful!"

Shen Luoxi excitedly took the colorful parrot, his eyes sparkling, and he couldn't wait to start teasing it.

This parrot has bright feathers and a lively appearance. It makes crisp calls from time to time, making everyone present smile.

Mrs. Kang was worrying about how to explain the matter of Prince Xuan. She was very nervous and didn't know where to start.

The maids and old women standing beside her behaved very smartly, as if they had not heard anything about the matter.

The middle-aged woman from the outer courtyard standing at the door had no idea of ​​the current complex situation, so she had no choice but to continue speaking, "Prince Xuan is your fiancé, Miss."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like throwing a stone into a calm lake, instantly causing ripples.

Hearing this, Shen Muxue's heart suddenly contracted.

She suddenly remembered the detailed information provided by the system before. That information did mention that the original body had a fiancé who was of extraordinary status and attracted worldwide attention.

Now it seems that this identity will soon have nothing to do with the original owner.

Seeing this, Shen Muxue felt an inexplicable wave of emotion in her heart, and finally she just said lightly: "Since sister likes it, then give it to her."

Her voice was gentle but with a subtle firmness that was irresistible.

At this moment, Mrs. Kang finally came to her senses.

In order to ease the tense and slightly awkward atmosphere, she quickly gave a few instructions to the old woman who had just spoken.

"Go and sort out the local specialties that were just sent from my hometown this morning. Select something exquisite and courteous to send to Prince Xuan's mansion as a return gift. Also, please convey our invitation. Please ensure that Prince Xuan comes to our mansion in a few days to attend the coming-of-age ceremony prepared for the eldest lady."

The maid in charge of chores in the outer courtyard was about to question this when she thought, "But the eldest lady should have held her coming-of-age ceremony two years ago, right?"

But when she saw that the people around her did not agree with her and instead seemed to be more solemn, she immediately felt that something was wrong, so she wisely shut her mouth, turned around and left silently without saying anything more.

However, just a few steps after she walked out of the courtyard gate, the curious woman ran into an older maid whom she had known for many years and who often traveled between the inner and outer courtyards. She couldn't wait to step forward and grab the other party to ask questions.

"Big sister! Our family is planning to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for our eldest daughter again? But I remember we already did it two years ago, didn't we?"

Upon hearing the inquiry, the older sister, who usually loved to join in the fun and chat, and possessed a wealth of insider information, seemed particularly delighted, as if she had seized a golden opportunity. She immediately replied in a low but eager voice, "My silly sister, you certainly don't know the true situation here! It turns out that the girl known as 'the eldest daughter' is actually a peasant girl. For unknown reasons, her biological parents secretly replaced her with the body of our real daughter. It wasn't until this morning that, thanks to the help of the Crown Prince, the entire scam was exposed and the young mistress, who truly belongs to the Kang family bloodline, was welcomed back. As for the former imposter, she has been demoted to the title of Second Young Miss and remains at home under the guise of adoption..."
