Destroy the scumbag husband, beat the bitch, the reborn legitimate daughter overturns the entire cap
Chapter 97 He's back again!
After returning to the manor, Mu Xin Nuan heard Mu Qing whisper, "This servant noticed that when we left Miss Biao's courtyard, she seemed to have returned the painting, along with some New Year's items, to Li Wan Qing."
"Hmm. My older cousin is still too soft-hearted. If this doesn't work, Li Wanqing will definitely come up with other methods. My older cousin, we have to be careful."
"Miss, what should we do with this box of hair oil?" Rongyue asked, pointing to the box on the table.
"This was given to me by Li Wanqing. Let's leave it for now. I'll take it to Anping Hall later and have someone verify it."
"Yes, ma'am."
In the blink of an eye, it's New Year's Eve!
The Mu family was naturally in harmony. Perhaps because Li had treated Mu Changchun well before, and now that her two children were still in the Mu family, the old lady's attitude towards Li had undergone a dramatic change!
Mu Xin Nuan saw clearly that it was impossible for the old lady to treat her mother with genuine kindness! Moreover, just wait and see, as long as her mother did anything to displease the old lady in the future, the old lady would definitely start to have some other ideas again!
On New Year's Eve, it's customary to stay up all night. Mu Xin Nuan invited Liu Tingting and Mu Xin Yao to her Yue Xuan, preparing some food and games so that they could stay awake until after midnight.
The two had only been at Yuexuan for a short time when the brothers Mu Qingxuan and Mu Qingyuan arrived. Because Liu Zhuangzhuang was too young, he was not allowed to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year.
Yuexuan is actually the liveliest place in the entire Mu residence!
With great difficulty, everyone managed to keep their eyelids open when they heard Rongyue shout, "Happy New Year!"
The group couldn't stay awake any longer and went back to sleep. Before leaving, Mu Xinyao noticed a box of hair oil on the dressing table, which was the very one Li Wanqing had given her earlier.
No one noticed that Mu Xinyao's lips curled up slightly as she left with a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes.
Mu Xin Nuan was so sleepy that she took off her outer robe and ordered everyone to leave. She then felt the candlelight in the room flicker, and then a silver-masked boy appeared in the room!
"why is it you again?"
"What? Seeing me makes you so unhappy?" The boy's voice sounded quite sad.
However, Mu Xin Nuan had no intention of paying attention to it. She simply turned her head and said coldly, "I'm going to rest now. You should leave."
Seeing that Mu Xin Nuan seemed genuinely tired, with a blue shadow already looming over her, the young man raised his eyelids slightly and said, "Fine, this is a New Year's gift for you."
Mu Xin Nuan was taken aback and looked at him strangely, "You came here so late at night, and waited so long, just to give me a New Year's gift?"
"Otherwise what?" The boy's lips twitched slightly, as if he were somewhat sad. Only then did Mu Xin Nuan notice that his lips seemed a little pale! They must be from the cold! Could it be?
Mu Xin Nuan's heart clenched for a moment, and she subconsciously glanced out the window. It was New Year's Eve, and it was freezing cold outside. Moreover, she could still hear the howling wind outside.
"When did you arrive?" Mu Xin Nuan reluctantly handed over the hand warmer she was holding, asking seemingly casually.
Looking at the somewhat awkward little girl in front of him, the silver-masked youth's lips curled up, seemingly in a good mood. He glanced at the hand warmer, then reached out and took it.
The hand warmer was made of fine bronze, as if to prevent her from getting burned. There was also a cloth cover made by the maids. The young man placed his hand on it, and it seemed to still retain the warmth of Mu Xin Nuan from before.
When the boy looked up again, Mu Xin Nuan was now wearing a slightly thinner cloak. She glanced at him and gestured for him to move closer to the charcoal stove so he wouldn't get cold.
"You'll be eleven next year?"
"Yes. I'll be eleven tomorrow, another year older, and I should learn how to share my parents' burdens."
"You've done a great job."
Mu Xin Nuan shook her head. "No! I can't do anything right! I can't do anything well. Besides, I'm not ruthless enough. I know Li Wan Qing is no good, but because she's my uncle's daughter, I have to show her mercy. And Mu Xin Yao, I knew she was in cahoots with Li Wan Qing, but I felt that she's only nine years old now, and will only be ten after the New Year. I can't just ruin her like this! In the end, I'm still thinking about the reputation of the Mu and Li families, so I can't do anything really ruthless."
The boy seemed somewhat moved upon hearing this, and quietly raised his eyelids to look at her. Perhaps because of the silver charcoal, Mu Xin Nuan's face was slightly flushed, and there was a hint of worry in her eyes. Her high, straight nose, at this moment, even looked somewhat like jade.
"If, I mean if." The boy hesitated, seemingly a little awkward and shy, his face slightly flushed, and sweat was faintly visible on the tip of his nose. He gritted his teeth before blurting it out.
"Anuan, what if I were willing to do those things for you that you think are too cruel to do yourself? Would you believe me?"
Mu Xin Nuan was slightly stunned, her body stiffening instantly. Her large, clear black and white eyes, with long eyelashes that fluttered like butterfly wings, made the young man feel a strange itch in his heart, like being scratched by a cat.
"I will handle my own affairs, so you don't need to worry about it." Mu Xin Nuan's face instantly turned cold, and she glanced at the boy's nose. "It's getting late, and you've recovered now, so let's go."
The boy froze, looking at Mu Xin Nuan with a complicated expression, as if he couldn't figure out what he had said wrong or how he had offended her. Why did this little girl turn on him so suddenly?
Mu Xin Nuan stopped looking at him. "I am grateful for Anping Hall's matter. If you trust me, I will send you a copy when I develop a new pill. Of course, if you think my skill level is too low, you don't have to. In short, it's up to me whether I give it to you or not. I have no other way to thank you."
The boy narrowed his eyes. The Mu Xin Nuan before him was completely different from the Mu Xin Nuan who had seemed somewhat worried just moments before! Which one was the real her? Which one was the one wearing a disguise?
"If you don't leave, I'll call for help! You know my two maids are skilled in martial arts. Even if they can't beat you, it shouldn't be too difficult for them to bring over the guards, right?"
A shadow of gloom flashed across the boy's eyes. Helpless, he finally gave her a deep look, then turned and left.
Even though it was just a fleeting glance, why did Mu Xin Nuan feel that his back looked so lonely?
Mu Xin Nuan shook her head. Was she overthinking things? She didn't even have time to deal with her own problems, let alone worry about other things.
