The whole family is reborn, and their five-year-old child becomes the darling of the entire capital.

"I heard that Princess Lian'an and her daughter are the ones who came to the capital today."

"Princess Lian'an? Which princess is this? She doesn't seem to have a very grand entourage."

The people in the teahouse crowded around the window, looking down at the unassuming little carriage below. There were only six or seven guards and two or three maids around it, making it seem like a very small affair.

Xie Yaochuan looked down at the car below, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

In those remote places, they built their own little palace, and when they came to the capital, they were able to pretend to be so low-key.

They are flexible and adaptable.

"Lian'an? This must be the son of some prince, right? I've never heard of this name before."

"A prince? What prince has a daughter?"

"I've never heard of it, but judging from this carriage, it must be quite old. I think the carriages of those officials are much more luxurious than this princess's."

"Look at those maids' clothes, there are obvious patches on them. How much suffering must they have endured?"

"I heard that this is to choose a husband for Princess Lian'an's daughter. What kind of young master would be so unlucky as to marry a relative who is of no help to the family? He would be nothing but a burden."

"I'm afraid we'll also have to subsidize the woman's family, right?"

"I just found out. She's the wife of a county magistrate in some small place, and she was betrothed to someone by imperial decree. Isn't that the lowest a princess could marry into?"

"I heard that the palace intends to marry her off to the young master of the Xie family. The Xie family and the Mu family have always been on good terms. If they really take a liking to her, she will truly rise to prominence."

"Although the Xie family is not as powerful as the Mu family, they can still be considered to have risen rapidly in their careers."

Xie Yaochuan listened to the conversation downstairs and looked speechlessly at Mu Yunchao, who was sipping tea with his head down. He then gently tapped the table with his finger.

"Lord Mu? Aren't you going to explain?"

Mu Yunchao placed the teacup on the table, looked at him quietly, and said with a rather thick skin, "What do I need to explain to you? What kind of explanation do you want to hear?"

Xie Yaochuan glanced at the slowly moving carriage. "Don't you explain how I got involved with this Princess Lian'an?"

“Princess Lian’an? You’re asking me? How would I know?”

“Right now, the Moon Kingdom is practically your personal fiefdom. If you didn’t know that, then you must be a ghost.” Xie Yaochuan put the lid back on his tea, staring at him speechlessly. “Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?”

"You're not the only young master of the Xie family. With so many adopted sons in your Xie family, picking one out wouldn't be a problem. After all, aren't there quite a few Xie family young masters of marriageable age who haven't started families yet?"

Mu Yunchao brushed his hand away, moved the cup from under his grasp, and quietly sipped her tea. "Don't be so impatient. Don't worry, I'll get that girl you like in the palace for you sooner or later."

Xie Yaochuan paused slightly, a headache forming in his eyes. "I heard that young lady is already married? Do you think it would frighten her if I were to steal her away?"

"Has a husband?" Mu Yunchao only thought that he had a fiancé, so she didn't really care. "How would you know if you don't try? However, Lord Xie is a man of integrity. If he can't do this, he can take a break and not help you."

Xie Yaochuan stood up with his sword in hand and looked at him. "Lord Mu, keep it a secret from the palace for now. You're using me as a pretext, but you can't let this false information become the truth, or I won't let it go."

"Do I look like that to you?" Mu Yunchao asked with a light laugh as he looked at him.

Xie Yaochuan: ...

"What about you is different from what people do?"

The last time I was this speechless was last time.

Suddenly remembering something, Xie Yaochuan looked sharply at the shameless Mu Yunchao and said incredulously, "You can stop her inexplicable daughter from harassing me, right?"

Mu Yunchao put down his teacup, looked at him, and said softly, "No."
