Destroy the scumbag husband, beat the bitch, the reborn legitimate daughter overturns the entire cap

Mu Xin Nuan, standing to the side, naturally saw everything as well, and couldn't help but sneer inwardly. The old lady was indeed one step ahead! This was clearly forcing Xu Hui Lan to make her own decision!

Sure enough, when Xu Huilan saw the introduction of these family backgrounds, her face turned ugly, and she even turned slightly pale!

“Huilan, sigh, it’s not that your aunt is unwilling to help you, it’s just that these families are not bad. Although they are second wives, they are still legal wives. After you marry into them, at least no one will give you a hard time.”

Seeing Xu Huilan's face growing paler and paler, the old lady felt smug and added fuel to the fire, saying, "Now that both your parents have passed away, your reputation outside is not very good. After all, with this reputation of bringing misfortune to your family, no official family with a slightly better background is willing to welcome you into their home."

The old lady's words had hit Xu Huilan's sore spot. Sure enough, when Mu Xin Nuan turned her head to look, she saw that Xu Huilan's eyes were already red. It seemed that she was also lamenting her bad luck!

Mu Xin Nuan glanced at a list that listed the names of a notorious playboy family in the capital. It seemed the old lady was determined to bring Xu Huilan to the Mu residence!

Li was also furious, but she couldn't vent her anger, so she could only lower her head and remain silent.

What else can be said? Although Xu Huilan's parents are both deceased, there's no need to actually find so many scumbags to be her husbands, is there?

Mu Xin Nuan, on the other hand, kept her head down, seemingly oblivious to everything, as if she didn't exist. The main reason she insisted on coming along was to see what the old lady was up to. Now it seemed she was proving quite difficult!

Hmph! They deliberately chose so many undesirable men for Xu Huilan to marry, just to force her to take the initiative and agree to marry her father. How malicious! That way, it will be Xu Huilan who insists on marrying her father, not her as her mother forcing her! Once Xu Huilan enters the Mu family, she will inevitably be constantly controlled by her aunt. How cunning!

Since returning from the old lady's house, Xu Huilan has been listless and has no appetite. She is only thinking about whether she is going to give her life to those vulgar people with no future and live a muddled life.

"Miss, you should still use some. This can't go on forever. If you harm your health, wouldn't that be too much of a loss?"

Xu Huilan turned her head and glanced at the bowl of bird's nest, feeling even more choked up. She waved her hand and said, "I can't eat it, let's leave it for now."

"Yes, Miss." The maid had no choice but to obey and put the bird's nest aside.

Not long after, when Xu Huilan saw that bowl of bird's nest again, she was filled with emotion!

I've lived in the Xu family for over a decade, and I've never been like this before. While it's not like I ate delicacies every day, I always had bird's nest and ginseng soup. How could I have ever had such a long time of dreams about these foods, and now I have no appetite for them?

Then, turning around, he looked around the guest house where he was staying and carefully examined the decorations and furnishings. The tables and chairs were made of fine huanghuali wood, the curtains were made of Shu brocade, and the porcelain from the official kiln was of the highest quality. Every piece was exquisitely crafted and made of the finest materials. Even the diamond-shaped mirror on the dressing table was a top-quality item.

The wealth in the Mu family mansion was a hundred times better than she had imagined!

Thinking back to what her aunt said, with both her parents gone and her sister-in-law's deliberate slander, she was already burdened with the stigma of being a jinx at such a young age. It was indeed not easy for her to marry into a good family!

She gently stroked her face. With her looks, it wouldn't be too difficult to marry into a good family as a concubine. However, being a concubine meant constantly having to be mindful of the mistress's mood and always be wary of her being harmed by her mistress! What good was wealth and status then?

Unexpectedly, Xu Huilan thought of Mu Chang'an, her cousin. He was handsome and, although he was over thirty, he was not overweight and looked much younger than his actual age! More importantly, he was gentle and a filial son. If she could marry him as a concubine, things would definitely be very different!

Not to mention that there is an aunt in this household, just considering the affection she has had for her cousin since childhood, he would never wrong himself too much! Look at Madam Song, isn't she the best example?

If Song were not my aunt's niece, such a wicked concubine would have been beaten out long ago! At the very least, she would have been exiled to a distant estate, never to return in her lifetime!

Murdering the legitimate son or daughter is a serious crime. Even if someone is beaten to death, no one can find fault with it! But what about now? Although Madam Song is confined to her quarters, it is clear that for the time being, her life is not in danger, and there is no possibility of her being expelled from the mansion.

The more Xu Huilan thought about it, the more she felt that Mu Chang'an was the best husband for her. Her face gradually flushed, and her eyes became more and more tender.

These subtle changes in her were naturally noticed by the little maid waiting nearby, who secretly memorized them.

As evening approached, the young maidservant, while serving Xu Huilan her meal, reported all of Xu Huilan's unusual behavior and demeanor to the old lady's maid, and naturally, received a considerable reward in return.

The next day, Xu Huilan specially chose some clothes that made her look younger and more radiant, and she also wore a gold hairpin, which was rare for her. She looked like a crabapple in autumn, dazzling and beautiful, so much so that people couldn't take their eyes off her.

Mu Chang'an bumped into him again at the entrance of Rongyuan. After nodding, he was about to walk out.

"Cousin, please wait a moment." Xu Huilan spoke softly, calling out to Mu Chang'an.

"Is there anything else, cousin?"

Xu Huilan lowered her head slightly, a little embarrassed, and took a tray from the maid behind her. "Cousin, thank you for taking care of me these past few days. These are some small things I made myself. They are not valuable, but I hope you will accept them. It is just a token of my appreciation."

Mu Chang'an was taken aback. He glanced at the tray, which was covered with a pink cloth, so he couldn't see what was inside.

“These are all things that my cousin should do, why thank me? Besides, the madam has always been in charge of managing the affairs of the backyard. If you want to thank someone, you should thank your cousin’s wife.”

Ever since Mu Chang'an heard those words from Li Shi last time, he has been deliberately avoiding Xu Huilan, but he didn't expect to run into her today!

Hearing him say this, Xu Huilan was not in a hurry. Instead, she smiled and said, "Of course, some of the things here are for my cousin-in-law. But I just happened to run into my cousin, so I gave them to him instead. Please thank my cousin-in-law on my behalf."

Mu Chang'an frowned slightly, looking at the tray and then at Xu Huilan, who had a shy expression but very clear eyes. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should accept it or not.
