The third prince was asking about Old Madam Mu's physical condition, and her voice was kind, but no one knew how much of it really meant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After waiting for a long time, when the sisters were almost unable to stand, no one in the house came out to invite some of the girls in.

Mu Zhiyue followed behind Mu Zhiyan and slowly walked around the screen, walked to the center of the hall, and kept her head down and didn't dare to raise it.

One by one, they knelt on the ground and bowed, and their clear and neat voices echoed in the hall: "The courtiers respectfully invite the third prince Jin An."

The third prince was sitting on the head, looking at the woman of the Mu family who was bowing down in the hall as if he had unintentionally, although he couldn't see his face clearly with his head down, he couldn't hide the softness of the Jiangnan woman.

Mu Jingyun secretly raised his eyes and glanced at the third prince, wearing a dark shirt with narrow sleeves, the neckline and cuffs were embroidered with silver silk edges Tengyun auspicious patterns, and there was a white jade exquisite waist pendant hanging from his waist.

The third prince's gaze inadvertently fell on the woman who was peeking at him, Mu Jingyun immediately lowered his head, and the blush slowly climbed up to the root of his ear.

As the third prince, such a woman didn't know how many things she saw, but she just swept it away, and said lightly: "Get up."

Mu Zhiyue didn't dare to raise her head, but respectfully followed the sisters to get up, and obediently stepped aside to stand still.

The third prince turned around and said to Mrs. Mu with a smile: "In the end, it is still the origin of Master Mu's family, that is, the girls in the house are very outstanding, and they are not worse than those noble girls in the capital."

With the usual compliments, Mu Jingyun couldn't help but feel disappointed, the eyes of the third prince didn't stay on him for a moment at all, and he wasted himself dressing up carefully.

The third prince suddenly found something: "Hey, this is Miss Mu Er, I remember you, you seem to be ......", of course he will remember that there have been many rumors about her in the capital in the past six months.

I turned my head sideways to look at Xia Yi who was sitting at the bottom, and then I remembered that before the girls came in just now, in order to avoid suspicion, they had asked several young masters of the Mu family to invite Xia Yi and Fang Ziyu to go elsewhere.

The idea of watching the excitement faded unconsciously, it didn't matter, he could relax without Xia Yi.

Mrs. Mu took over the words on the side: "The third prince is in love, my granddaughter came back for her father to do her filial piety, and now she is waiting by my side, doing her best every day, and now the old body is a little inseparable from her."

The third prince has been in a high position for a long time, and the most common thing he does every day is to figure out people's hearts, how could he not understand Mrs. Mu's words, thinking that this matter is still a secret in Fengyang, so he accepted the topic and did not mention it again.

Mu Zhiyue secretly pinched a handful of sweat, worried that she Mu Zhiyan would be blamed when she said this, after all, they are sisters in a house, one is prosperous and the other is lost, it is inevitable that the people in the other rooms are afraid of implicating the reputation of their own girls and are angry, fortunately, the words of the third prince are only half said.

After the younger members of the Mu family finished visiting, only Mu Chenqian, who had the status of a lifter, was left to serve in the hall, and the rest of them all withdrew, leaving the third prince and a few elders to talk in the house.

The prince's guards outside Ciyan Hall were solemnly guarding there, and Mu Zhiyan didn't dare to go back to the back room where he lived, and was going to go to the West Garden with Mu Zhiyue to hide for a while.

The sisters didn't dare to stay any longer, and after saying goodbye in a hurry, they each went back to their own courtyards, Mu Jingyun didn't go back to Fangxie Courtyard, but went to the East Garden with Mu Qinglin.

Mu Zhiyue didn't care what plans she had in her heart, without her, she and Mu Zhiyan would be more comfortable.

Walking all the way back to the West Garden, the two sisters did not speak, and after entering the West Garden, Mu Zhiyan proposed to go to Xiuzhutang to sit for a while.

In Xiuzhutang, the flowering period of magnolia flowers has passed, and only the trees are full of green, and there are no more flowers when they first met.

Mu Zhiyan found the recliner she was used to sitting on and leaned on it, closed her eyes and didn't speak, just lying there quietly.

Mu Zhiyue leaned over, "Second sister, what's wrong with you, are you tired?", she didn't know why Mu Zhiyan's mood was a little low when she came out of Ciyan Hall.

Mu Zhiyan shook his head slightly, and a tear from the corner of his eye slid down his cheek.

"Second sister?", Mu Zhiyan, who has always been strong, actually cried, Mu Zhiyue was at a loss for a while, and hurriedly pulled her own handkerchief to help her wipe it, but she didn't know how to ask.

Mu Zhiyan cried silently for a long time, let Mu Zhiyue help her wipe it, and finally sat up suddenly, and wiped the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes with a few strokes of the handkerchief in Mu Zhiyue's hand.

laughed at himself and said, "Let the sixth sister see the joke."

Mu Zhiyue shook her head, in her heart Mu Zhiyan has always been a strong woman who seems to be out of the dust, as if everything in the world has nothing to do with her, she will coldly watch others laugh and cry, but you will never feel her integration, today is a rare emotional exposure.

"The two of us have been so close these days, but we rarely hear you talk, every time I speak at length and you only say a few words concisely", Mu Zhiyan said quietly.

"You have never asked about me, aren't you curious? Don't you wonder why I went back to Fengyang, don't you wonder what happened to that Xia Yi, don't you wonder why I cry?" Mu Zhiyan threw a series of questions at Mu Zhiyue.

Mu Zhiyan looked at Mu Zhiyue who looked at him without saying a word, and was deflated, isn't the sixth sister such a person.

"Do you believe me when I said that I was driven back to Fengyang by my father", Mu Zhiyan couldn't survive Mu Zhiyue, so he had to admit defeat.

"Didn't I tell you that my father was drunk and set the family affair for me as the second son of the Xia family of Taichang Temple, and that second son was the Xia Yi you fought by the lake that day."

"He is well-known in the capital, Zhangtai is a horse, Flying Eagle Chu Pavilion, I have had trouble with my father a few times, and he has rejected me on the grounds that he has exchanged Geng posts."

"Later, once I participated in a poetry meeting and was ridiculed, and I don't know what happened that day, the nameless fire burned badly. sent someone out to inquire about Xia Yi's whereabouts, and when he heard that he had gone to Fireworks Alley again, he sneaked out of the house and bought a bag on the side of the road for two dollars of silver, and hid it in the place where he had to go back to the house."

Mu Zhiyue already knew about this, but at this moment, she could only pretend not to know and listen to her continue.

"Sure enough, I hid there for less than an hour before I saw Xia Yi, who was drunk, and his little servant went to lead the horse, far away. I took advantage of his unpreparedness to put the bag on his body, picked up a wooden stick that I had prepared earlier, and beat it down", Mu Zhiyan told the story of the incident in one breath, as if the burden in his heart had finally fallen.

"You can probably guess what happened later, the little guy who came back with the horse found me, and shouted loudly to attract the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, and it was my father who led me out of the prison of the Five Cities Terracotta Division."

"But the Xia family also withdrew because of this incident, my goal was achieved, but the matter was so big that I didn't hide it, and my reputation in the capital was ruined, everyone said that I was a, and no one dared to come to the door to propose marriage. My father discussed with my grandmother and took me back to Fengyang, and kept this matter a secret from the people here."

After speaking, Mu Zhiyan's gloomy eyes looked at Mu Zhiyue: "This time you know the origin of me and Xia Yi, I think this is what the third prince wanted to say just now, but it was stopped later."

"But I don't know what I'm doing wrong, didn't you say that even if we don't have to rely on us, we have to rely on our own efforts to live, I tried hard, but nothing left except the name of a fierce woman."
