Mu Qingwan walked in gracefully again. This time, she was wearing a top-grade blue gauze, made of silk spun by blue silkworms, because it was natural blue silk.

A single bolt of this silk is worth a fortune.

This horse of hers was something Mu Qingyou had collected during the attack on the Southern Chu royal palace, and it was sent back to her.

Because she had changed into a different dress, Mu Qingwan's hair had also changed slightly. It was now a flower-adorned updo, decorated with tiny beads and jade. Before she moved, she was light and graceful, just like a fairy in a painting.

Xiushui frowned as she watched the second young lady approach again.

This second young lady is truly extravagant.

She looked down at Mu Qingyou again, and her face immediately darkened. Her general was only wearing a linen dress in a rough gray color, and she frowned even more.

"Let's talk about Mr. Dongfang's name again."

Mu Qingyou said calmly.

"Oh? What is Mr. Dongfang's name?"

Mu Qingwan also became curious and sat down next to Mu Qingyou.

Lianxin quickly brought her a cup of tea as well.

"Our gentleman's name is Dongfang Jibai!"

The young apprentice finished eating the melon seeds and spoke loudly.

"The east has already turned white... We were lying together in the boat, unaware that the east had already turned white?"

After Mu Qingwan finished speaking, she praised him twice more.

"Yes!"

As dawn broke, he smiled slightly.

Mu Qingwan lowered her eyes slightly. Normally, shouldn't she praise her for her literary talent at this moment?

"The Second Miss is just as talented in literature as Sister Fan Hua!"

The young apprentice took the melon seeds from Lianxin and said something sweet to Mu Qingwan.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingwan's expression changed.

Good heavens, she, the dignified second young lady, actually wants to compare herself with a boorish maid.

She's still just as eloquent, and she even feels ashamed of it.

However, she didn't know what to say, and just glanced at Dongfang Jibai, hoping he would scold his apprentice.

But Dongfang Jibai seemed oblivious to everything and simply sat there quietly.

Seeing all this, Mu Qingyou couldn't help but smile slightly. Mu Qingwan's posture just now made it seem like she was about to praise him.

Who knew I'd get such a compliment?

Mu Qingwan sat there feeling uneasy, and took a sip of tea.

It tasted bitter and astringent when I first drank it.

She immediately spat it out, "What is this?"

Mu Qingwan's face was extremely pale because the tea was so awful that she vomited in front of Dongfang Jibai.

She was even more displeased.

"It's my fault!"

Lianxin was so frightened that she immediately knelt down.

"You wretched maid! What exactly did you make the Second Miss drink?"

At that moment, Ningcui, Mu Qingwan's head maid, slapped Lianxin across the face.

"It's the same tea as the young lady's."

Lianxin covered her cheeks and said aggrievedly.

"Ningcui, how dare you... How could you punish her maid in front of my sister!"

Mu Qingwan immediately understood the implication and reprimanded Ning Cui.

"It was my fault!"

Ningcui was a shrewd person, and she quickly lowered her head and stood behind her.

"Xiushui, help Lianxin to her feet."

Mu Qingyou gave the instructions in a calm tone.

“Ningcui has overstepped her bounds. Seeing that my sister has a gentle nature, having such a maid by her side will ruin her reputation!! Fanhua is proposed to be sold off.”
