"What, it's just such a small broken hairpin, it cost twenty taels of silver!"

Mu Wan took the hairpin in her hand and looked at the ruby the size of a sesame seed on it, her eyes were a little angry, and her knuckles were white.

If it weren't for the fact that she still wanted to use this hairpin to earn back her face in front of those sisters, she would have thrown this hairpin out a long time ago.

"Miss, you really can't blame the slave."

The cuckoo knelt on the ground, with a red slap print on his face, which was punched out by Mu Wan.

She had long been accustomed to beating and scolding like this, thinking of the twenty taels of silver in her hand, she cried even more, and simply shirked the so-called blame on Mu Qing's body.

"This hairpin was originally only five taels of silver, but who knew that the three princesses looked at the hairpin you wanted from the eldest lady, and the price rose to twenty taels of silver! This is clearly revenge on you, Miss. ”

Hearing this, Mu Wan's expression became more and more hideous, she stood up, and went to Liu's room angrily with the hairpin.

As soon as she saw her mother, Mu Wan rushed over and cried into a ball, and the crying Liu's heart melted.

"Good daughter, what's wrong, why are you crying like this, who has the courage to bully you!"

"Who else can it be, it's not Mu Qing's slut, do you know the hairpin in her shop, it costs five taels of silver to sell it to others, but it costs twenty taels of silver to sell it to me!"

After speaking, he threw the hairpin in his hand in front of Liu.

The Liu family is not stupid, and as soon as he looks at this hairpin, he knows that this value is definitely not worth twenty taels of silver.

"She's clearly bullying you!"

Liu was also very angry, twenty taels of silver was enough for her to have several boxes of fat powder silver, but she didn't expect to be deceived by Mu Qing like this.

But after thinking about it carefully, the money spent now is the dowry left to her by Mu Qing's cheap mother, only twenty taels...... If you cheat it, you can cheat it.

"But mother, this Mu Qing is very arrogant between her words, if we don't want to rub her sharpness, she will definitely come to take revenge on us at the first chance in the future, now it's just a small hairpin, who knows what it will be in the future."

Mu Wan's words made Liu feel very reasonable, she thought about it carefully, Mu Qing's little cheap hoof didn't know what kind of magic barrier he had entered now, and he must have already known about the dowry......

"Yes, this matter must be done to seek justice, but her status is now precious, we can't be so reckless, otherwise we won't be able to get benefits, next time it's your father's birthday, she will come back no matter what, and you just need to ...... like this when the time comes."

Liu Shi leaned into his daughter's ear and whispered a few words, and Na Mu Wan immediately stopped crying and smiled on her face.

This time, this Mu Qing is dead, and he dares to cheat her out of her money, and he will definitely discredit her!

Three days later, Mu Chenghai's birthday.

In fact, Mu Qing wanted to shirk it at first, or say that he was unwell, or say that he was unwell, or just say some reason.

But Xin'er and Mama Chen persuaded her to go, and she had to go with Bailichen, so as to break the rumors circulating in the capital that Bailichen and Mu Qing had a discordant relationship.

"It's clear that you called me along, but now I'm sighing, and it looks like I forced you to come."

Bai Lichen took an interesting look at Mu Qing who was bored and opened the curtain to look out, this woman was really funny, it was clear that she came up and let her come together, but now she was so reluctant.

Mu Qing didn't know what to say, so she simply ignored it, she couldn't say that she had to attend Mu Chenghai's birthday banquet with Bai Lichen to consolidate her status in the capital, so that she wouldn't be bullied by others.

When you think about it, this man is like his umbrella.

It's just that this umbrella will quarrel with itself from time to time.

Mu Qing unconsciously withdrew his eyes and landed on Bai Lichen's body, with a bit of inquiry.

"What's the matter, it's not you......"

Bai Lichen looked up and saw that the little girl in front of him had been staring at him, frowning with disgust when he looked at it, he said it funny, and Mu Qing hurriedly took his eyes back.

"No, alright, it's almost there."

When Mu Qingzheng was embarrassed, the carriage had already arrived at the door of the Mu family, and Mu Chenghai personally came out to greet the two, and his attitude was very respectful, but this respect was only for Bai Lichen.

According to common sense, even if the status of parents is not as good as that of children, they must be polite.

It's like Chen Guifei's mother After entering the palace, she has to call Chen Guifei a noble concubine, and she also has to salute - although children generally don't ask their elders to salute.

It's just that this Mu Chenghai didn't mean to salute at all.

"I have seen His Royal Highness the Third Prince, His Royal Highness the Third Prince's complexion is really getting better and better, no wonder the Holy Lord attaches so much importance to His Royal Highness!"

Mu Chenghai's words successfully attracted the attention of the people around him, and everyone couldn't help but be a little jealous of Mu Qing, who was standing beside Bai Lichen.

This Mu Qing's life is really good, just after marrying Bai Lichen, his body has gradually recovered, and even now he has been reused by the emperor and has become a strong competitor for the crown prince.

If he becomes the emperor in the future, even if Mu Qing is already old, the status of the concubine will still remain the same, and the position of the queen of the main palace will not be captured?

This Mu family is also because of this relationship between Mu Qing, the tide is rising, and there are more people who come to Mu Chenghai's birthday banquet today than in previous years, I don't know how much.

"Miao praised, this is a birthday boy today, let's go in quickly, why come out to greet it in person."

Although Mu Chenghai was very affectionate in his words, His Royal Highness the Third Prince's attitude was very cold, which made him a little embarrassed, but he still raised his hand to welcome the two of them in.

When Mu Wan and Liu saw Mu Qing come in, the silk on their bodies, the gorgeous jewelry, where did they have the appearance of the poor second lady at the beginning, they had already been reborn, and the jealousy in their eyes was almost impossible to hide.

But after all, there are many guests around today, so no one can see that their relationship with Mu Qing is not harmonious.

Therefore, Mu Wan and the Liu family also showed great affection for Mu Qing.

"My sister is here, my mother and I have been waiting for you for a long time, come, I know that you have always liked to eat this osmanthus cake, and I have specially prepared it today."

Mu Wan held Mu Qing's hand affectionately, and even approached the third prince Bailichen intentionally or unintentionally.

This kind of move, anyone with a discerning eye knows what it means, Bai Lichen quietly avoided it for a few minutes.

Seeing the osmanthus cake on the table, the corners of Mu Qing's eyes curved and showed a smile.

"This osmanthus cake, you can only get some during the New Year's holidays, but now a lady and sister have prepared a lot, so Qing'er is flattered."

She pretended not to understand anything, and when she said these words, the faces of the guests around her changed.

You can only eat osmanthus cake during the New Year's holidays, how did the Mu family treat this third princess harshly before, and in the end she is also the biological daughter of Master Mu.

For a while, the surrounding atmosphere seemed to be a lot more tense, and Liu's face showed a little embarrassment.

"This, the eldest mother also restrained you in order not to let you eat your stomach greedily, but now that you are old and your body is better, it is naturally okay to eat more."

Liu's excuse was very thin, and there were obviously few people around who believed it, or Mu Chenghai really couldn't see it, and let the housekeeper take care of the guests and sit down, and those riots calmed down a little.

Looking at Mu Qing's appearance, the Liu family hated it so much, but because of his identity and status, he had no way for a while, so he could only swallow this breath into his stomach.

Today's birthday banquet, Prime Minister Shen Cheng is also here.

It's not because he wants to sell the face to the Mu family, it's just that some time ago, his daughter offended the concubine of the third prince who was being favored by the emperor, and he just took his daughter to sell it to the Mu family, which can be regarded as a matter of the past.

"Shuang'er, you go talk to your friends, and Daddy goes to Mu Shangshu to talk about some political affairs."

Shen Shuang'er nodded, but instead of going to her sister immediately, she set her eyes on Mu Wan's body.

This Mu Wan has been staring at the hairpin on her head since she just came in, it is a nine-turn Luan Yu hairpin, which was given to her by her father at a large price as a birthday gift before, and it is a rare treasure in the world.

Her eyes sank, and she immediately walked towards Mu Wan.

"This is the eldest lady of the Mu family."

Seeing Shen Shuang'er take the initiative to talk to her, Mu Wan's face changed, and she was a little flattered.

Shen Shuang'er is the daughter of the prime minister, and her status is not comparable to her, and now she actually takes the initiative to talk to her, Mu Wan has changed into a flattering and flattering appearance, which is completely different from Fang Cai's appearance of showing off her power in front of her sisters.

"Miss Shen, please forgive me for the inconsiderate hospitality."

"Where, today's banquet is interesting, but aren't these three imperial concubines your own sister, why don't you two sisters see you two together today."

Shen Shuang'er deliberately led the topic to Mu Qing.

Sure enough, Mu Wan's eyes were a little more vicious when she heard this name.

"Although it's my sister, but who knows if she treats us as family, I don't recognize us anymore after I see her soaring, Miss Shen's status is noble, but she is still so kind, in my opinion, she is not as good as Miss Shen."

Mu Wan deliberately leaked a very useful look.

"Thank you Miss Mu for your compliment, Miss Mu and I are very close to each other, this hairpin is my beloved thing, since Miss Mu and I are so fateful, then I will give it to you as a meeting gift."

As he spoke, he took off the hairpin from her head and put it in her hand.

Mu Wan's eyes flashed suddenly.

"This, so valuable, I can't take it."

Although he said that, there was greed in his eyes when he looked at the hairpin.
