Good luck in pregnancy, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion has a soft waist

Shen Muxue raised her eyebrows and retorted, "This is where I was originally, so how can you say I was eavesdropping?"

"Then why didn't you show up earlier?"

Mo Yueshi's tone was full of dissatisfaction.

Shen Muxue raised her lips slightly and said, "I'm not as good as Miss Mo at putting on an act in front of others, or even embellishing the facts to add drama. I can only show up after everyone leaves. But when I heard that Miss Mo wanted to apologize to me, I thought it would be better to give her a chance to show herself. Could it be that all this is a trick for others to see, and she doesn't really want to apologize to me?"

Faced with such a sharp verbal counterattack, Mo Yueshi was suddenly at a loss for words.

Then, Shen Muxue said in a gentle yet pointed tone, "Miss Mo, have you ever considered this reality? In fact, there is no need for me to compete with you for anything. The old lady's love for me will not be shaken by this. On the contrary, Miss Mo may need to continue to make efforts to win recognition. After all, she is just an outsider."

These words shook Mo Yueshi's heart like a bolt from the blue.

Looking at the woman in front of her who seemed weak and vulnerable but was actually extremely smart, Mo Yueshi felt humiliated.

I was just feeling proud of turning the situation around, but now I feel like a funny clown.

After saying this, Shen Muxue turned and left, leaving behind a slightly sad smile.

I was planning to go to the hall in front, but accidentally bumped into a body as hard as a wall.

The pain on her forehead made her gasp. When she tried to retreat, someone grabbed her shoulder and said, "I haven't seen you for so many days. I wonder if Miss Su misses me, Bai?"

Bai Yu greeted in his charming and slightly teasing tone.

If she didn't know his true appearance, she would probably be easily attracted to this handsome man like everyone else.

Thinking of his previous behavior, Shen Muxue now only felt wary of this person.

"Excuse me, why is Mr. Bai here?"

"Of course I'm here because someone invited me."

Notice the other person's reaction, like a frightened kitten.

The flickering look in her eyes, as if she was eager to break free from the restraints, made him feel very uncomfortable.

However, the more unhappy he was, the gentler the smile on his face became.

He took a step forward, bent down slightly and looked at Shen Muxue at eye level: "When did you become so easy to talk to? You don't even refute what others say to you?"

Shen Muxue raised her head in surprise, pointed at him and asked, "Could it be... you heard it too?"

"Ah."

Bai Yu shrugged casually. "I even called Han Tingzhou away on purpose. I thought we'd see a wonderful show, but it ended so early. It was really boring."

In response, Shen Muxue just rolled her eyes.

Today is the day of a family dinner, and only the closest relatives are invited. Why on earth does Bai Yu appear here?

Not to mention the exaggerated words.

Is there any etiquette that a guest should have?

She couldn't fully understand the other person's thoughts, nor did she want to get involved too much, so she said stiffly, "This is my personal matter. I have other things to take care of, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, Shen Muxue walked around him and left.

Bai Yu's long and slow voice came from behind: "You still feel soft-hearted for some reason."

These sudden words made her stop.

Then he added, "Because you don't want to escalate the situation and disrupt the harmony here? Afraid of becoming a thorn in the Chu clan's side?"

Then she felt him approaching, and heard a scornful laugh. "But the truth is, you're not a true Han family member. Mo Yueshi is considered a side branch, and so are you. Why should you compromise yourself to cater to others' opinions?"

Hearing this, Shen Muxue glanced at him sideways.

The man winked at her, his eyes full of cunning.

"The Shen Muxue I remember was gentle and pleasant on the surface, but deep down she was a vindictive and decisive person. Don't let a small person easily get the upper hand, or I'll be sorry if you do that."

As the tone became more ambiguous, the atmosphere also changed.

Shen Muxue looked him up and down and sneered, "He looks like a noble gentleman, but in fact he is just a nosy guy."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

After confirming that she had gone far away, the shadow that had been hiding in the shadows finally appeared: "My lord, you were verbally attacked by her just now."

But Bai Yu still kept smiling, as if he didn't care at all: "He has a sharp tongue yet is also humorous. Such a person is really rare to find."

Shadow was silent for a moment, then added, "But she obviously has a strong dislike for you."

Bai Yu continued, still looking in the direction she had left, speaking in a doting tone, "Haven't you noticed? While she acts modest and weak around everyone else, it's only with me that she reveals her true personality. Do you know what this means?"

Seeing his men bewildered, he gave the answer: "Love comes from nowhere, but it's deep and lasting."

Shadow couldn't believe it: "Is it true?"

Looking at the confused face in front of him, Bai Yu changed the subject: "How's the situation over there? Was it successful?"

"This is the last time I'll take Yin to replenish Yang. Once the insect has enough blood energy, I'll bring it back and help extend your life."

But Bai Yu replied that he didn't care about the matter itself. What he really cared about was: "I hope my daughter can quickly realize her own value."

Shadow couldn't help but remind him again, "The tiger-shaped jade token that the Lord asked me to investigate was indeed a property of the palace, but it disappeared after the queen lost contact.

Therefore, we cannot prove that the object belongs to Miss Han, nor do we know whether Shen Muxue is the missing daughter of the prince. Last time, she clearly stated that the object did not belong to her. Therefore, if we want to confirm her identity, we must wait for a certain opportunity to come.

Hearing this, Bai Yu smiled confidently, "This is one of the reasons why I chose to borrow the extremely precious Red Spirit Grass from the Han Mansion. We'll proceed according to the plan later. You will be responsible for luring the gatekeeper away, and I'll take care of the rest."

Shadow cast another helpless glance at his master.

He is a gentle and elegant person like an immortal, but what he says at certain moments is always unpredictable.

The theft is portrayed so beautifully.

However, he did not argue, replied yes, and disappeared in an instant.

When Shen Muxue returned to the banquet, everyone was already sitting around the table.

She apologized to everyone: "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

The entire table was unusually quiet, and the guests exchanged glances with each other, with something unusual in their eyes.
