This purple bamboo forest is located at the foot of Yunshan Mountain in the eastern suburbs of Phoenix, and was planted by Mu Zheng for his wife Tang Ling. In that year, Tang Ling single-handedly founded the 'Youlongxin Pavilion', which was the secret base for the cultivation of elites in the 'Youlongxin Pavilion'.

The Mu family is a century-old family in Phoenix, and the ancestral house is still there. Although Mu Zheng's parents' generation moved to the capital for their family and country, the century-old glory of the Mu family in Phoenix City is still recited today.

Phoenix City is the westernmost city in Eastern Chu, and it is the Western Tang Dynasty after the heavy mountains. Half of the timber, coal mines, Caoyun, and money in Eastern Chu are in the hands of the Mu family. The grain, money villages, pharmacies, and restaurants in the city are almost all run by the Mu family behind the scenes.

The Dongfang family of the Imperial Merchants Qilin Villa is known as the richest man in the world, and it is probably less than half of the Mu family.

This Phoenix City is the retreat of the Mu family. Mu Zheng promised to be loyal to the three generations of the Eastern Chu royal family, and it was the last generation of Mu Qingyan's generation.

Mu Qingyan secretly sent Shen Luochen and the Yun family into the Purple Bamboo Forest as Weiyang, just to protect him, that jade-like son is unparalleled in the world, and should not be disturbed by the strife in this world. She also has her own selfishness, the purple bamboo forest is her final destination, she sent him into the deepest part of her heart, reluctant but unwilling to touch it again.

The two of them watched the same night and did not sleep.

In the morning, Linglong trained the little girls in the courtyard again.

Mu Qingyan was disturbed by her not long after she fell asleep, and listening to the familiar noise, she remembered that she had gone home in a trance. The noise was no longer so unbearable, and she knew in her heart that Amber was afraid that she had stopped it.

Rolled over, turned his head inwards and fell asleep again.

Pearl quietly came up and took a look, and when she saw that there was no sign of getting up, she went down again, and several people had breakfast first, and packed up inside and out, and then they went about their own business. Amber stood outside to help wrap the threads, watching the coral needles embroidered with a moon-white brocade robe, and from time to time she looked up at the door of the inner room.

Look at the time of the day, the little servants sent by my father have come in two waves, and Gongzi Yin has been here for half an hour. Amber slowed down and was about to go to the inner room, but Coral grabbed her, "Sister Amber, sit down, what's the hurry, let him wait!" Miss must not have slept well last night, she finally went home, don't you want her to be lazy for a while? ”

Amber glanced at the inner chamber again, then simply dropped her hand and took the needle and thread to work.

Mu woke up when he was light, and lazily lay on the pillow and didn't want to get up. In her heart, she thought about the words she gave to Nangong Yin yesterday, she knew his temper best, and she was afraid that he came early in the morning.

"Amber!" She lay on the bed and whispered.

Amber was concentrating on embroidering a leaf, Mu Qingyan suddenly called her, startling her, the needle pierced into her fingertips like an eye, and a blood bead instantly appeared, "Sizzle......"

Dropping the things in his hand, he promised to push open the door and enter the bedroom while taking his fingertips in his mouth, "Woo, here comes Miss!" With his pricked fingers, he lifted the bed curtains and pulled them to his sides.

Coral shouted to Liuli to come in with water, and he also came in to find clothes for Miss, "Miss, is it good to wear this lotus lotus color?" He turned around and asked Mu Qingyan.

Mu Qingyan looked at the new dress in her hand, although the color was heavy but a little warm, "That's it!" ”

Coral waited to be dressed: a stand-up collar blouse with a silk button, a high-waisted floor-length skirt of the same color, and a large skirt dragged by a large skirt; A pair of mille-feuille pumps embroidered with magnolia in silk of the same color. Combed a small bun, a long strand of hair hung down from the center of the bun, and pinned two thick purple magnolia silk flowers in a row.

Pearl came in and saw that the young lady did not have any valuable jewelry, so she spontaneously opened the jewelry box, picked up a floating jade bracelet and put it on her wrist, and picked up a piece of floating jade with tassels and hung it on her skirt, circled around her, and then walked away satisfied.

Mu Qingyan let the maids toss enough, sat in front of the dressing table, opened the makeup box, and put on makeup herself. got up and asked Coral for a handkerchief and squeezed it in his hand, and then took Linglong and Amber to the living room at the front of Jinlu Garden.

There were a few people standing at the door, and when they saw Mu Qingyan coming, they hurriedly turned around and ran a few steps up the hall, vaguely hearing that they were shouting the eldest young master. saw the wide open hall door, Nangong Yin greeted him alone.

Mu Qingyan slowly approached and gently called, "Young Master Nangong!" He bent over and gave a formal salute, his face was calm and he didn't see any emotion.

"Smoke, smoke..."Nangong Yin looked at his sweetheart who Yue Yu had never seen, there seemed to be a piece of yellow lotus in his throat, he couldn't swallow it or spit it out, and the extremely bitter taste penetrated into his heart bit by bit, and he couldn't speak.

It has been two months since the day of the divorce, and Nangong Yin has never seen Mu Qingyan again. When I saw it today, I realized that she had lost a lot of weight, her face was a little yellow, and she was distressed.

"Yan'er, you've lost weight!"

Mu Qingyan raised his eyes to look at him, it seemed that he had been a little different in the past two months, he was the one who had really lost a lot of weight, the robe that Coral had cut for him in the past no longer fit, and hung loosely on him; His hair was not neatly tied, his eyes were bloodshot, and there was a fresh bubble on his lips, which had not broken and was covered with a puddle of water.

"Why bother yourself, everyone has their own fate, we have no chance!" Mu Qingyan's nose was sour, she had expectations for this marriage contract, after all, the two grew up together since childhood, and some feelings could not be replaced.

"Yan'er, I'm sorry, I, I'm ......" Nangong Yin had tears in her eyes, her mood was extremely complicated, but she couldn't say half a sentence. Watching her grow up since she was a child, he knows more or less about her temper.

Mu Qingyan just looked at him quietly, and she couldn't say the words of condemnation, but he was no longer a good match.

Nangong Yin's heart was full of grievances, and he couldn't help it anymore in Mu Qingyan's pure eyes when he looked at him, "Yan'er, cousin, cousin, you don't have to care, we will carry her into the door after we get married, but it's just a concubine." Our relationship since childhood is not something she can break up, you should be angry enough, and your reputation will be damaged by withdrawing from the marriage, and don't be willful. Nangong Yin begged in a low voice.

Mu Qingyan endured and endured, his palms clenched in his sleeves, until the anger provoked by him calmed down enough to speak, and then he slowly spoke, "Young Master Nangong, I have no marriage contract with you, you don't have to discuss the matter of marrying me anymore, I don't have to discuss it anymore, I don't see it for anything else today, it's all here, I just hope that from now on we will each follow our destiny!" ”

Nangong Yin looked at her with wide eyes, and said in disbelief: "Yan'er, we have been engaged to marriage since childhood, how can you be so ruthless?" I know I've done something wrong, can you forgive me? "He is still as gentle as before, he has spoiled her since he was a child, and he has been obedient in everything, and he has never even spoken loudly to her. She has long been the most indispensable part of his heart. No matter how determined she is today, he will redeem her. If you don't return today, I'm afraid there will be no intersection in the future.

Nangong Yin clutched the robe in his heart tightly, and his knuckles were white.

"Nangong Yin, do you also know that we have been engaged to a marriage contract since we were children? Let me ask you, if this had not happened, would you have married your cousin after we got married? Mu Qingyan's voice suddenly turned a little colder, and he stared at him.

"My cousin grew up in Yijian Villa, and my mother had already intended to give her to me. I knew that you would not want to take her before we were married, so I never agreed. That incident was really an accident, Yan'er, you have to believe me! "Nangong Yin won't lie, according to the truth.

The corner of Mu Qingyan's mouth pulled a smile, and he was extremely sarcastic.

Nangong Yin looked at her with good eyes, and pulled out the black gold tube from his sleeve and held it in his hand, "Yan'er, this is what I made for you, although it is not as precious as the Qiankun Bow, it is also unique in the world." ”

Without looking at the things in his hand, Mu Qingyan turned around and walked a few steps into the chair, took the tea cup handed to her by Amber, held it in her hand but did not drink it, and said indifferently and detachedly: "Young Master Nangong, please go back!" ”

Nangong Yin listened to her cold voice and panicked. A few steps in front of her, "Yan'er, I ......"

"Little Miss, there is someone outside the gate asking to see you!" A small servant stopped outside the hall and bowed his head to reply to the hall.

Amber walked to the door of the hall and asked in a low voice, "Who is it?" ”

"Sister Hui Amber, it's a woman, I don't recognize it!" The little guy respectfully returned.

"Sister Amber, I'll go take a look!" Linglong spoke, and ran out like a smoke.

Mu Qingyan took a sip of tea, looked at the tassel on his jade pendant and did not speak. She really didn't know how to face Nangong Yin, she thought that he was her destination in this life, he was concentrating on his weapons, and she was concentrating on her responsibilities. She likes his stability, appreciates his focus, and she is willing to give him a lifetime of simplicity and eternal companionship. Therefore, although she tried her best to disguise herself in front of the world, when facing Nangong Yin, she gave all the simple beauty she could.

However, the simple kinship relationship of Mufu made her ignore the cruel way of survival of the family. She thought he knew, thought he was willing, and thought she was the only one in his life. She is willing to let go of the prosperity of this life and hide it everywhere, just so that she can give him the simplest self after that incident. In the end, she has not yet agreed to marry, but he has promised a concubine, how can she be embarrassed?

She has her pride, she has the beauty that her heart desires, and she is not a destined person, and it is useless to say more.

Mu Qingyan sank into his own thoughts, no matter how much Nangong Yin begged, no matter how much explanation he couldn't listen to, how could he forgive.

"Miss, Miss, Deng Min is outside the gate!" Linglong ran back in a rage and glared at Nangong Yin angrily.

Nangong Yin couldn't react a little, and froze in place for a while.

Mu Qingyan got up, smoothed the folds on her skirt, and a touch of coldness appeared on the corner of her lips, "The dignity of my Water Moon Villa is one of the few in Dongchu, can any idle person come to the gate?" ”

When Nangong Yin came back to his senses, Mu Qingyan had already walked out of the main hall. He hurried along, with a sense of ingratitude and panic, and shouted in a sneering voice: "Smoke! ”

Outside the gate, Deng Min was crumbling by Xinrong.

Mu Qingyan smiled ruffianly, "Who else should I be, why is Miss Deng crying outside my Mu Mansion?" ”

"Yan'er, don't embarrass your cousin, he's all for me, please give me back your cousin, please!" Deng Min held his stomach weakly with one hand, strings of tears rolled down, and he cried out with pear blossoms and rain.

Mu Qingyan had the anger of wanting to kill people in his heart, and his ten fingers were pinched into ten white jade knots, and he endured it again and again, and said coldly: "Miss Deng, this is here to ask me for someone?" Oh, give it back to you, don't let him come again! After speaking, he turned around and was about to go inside.

Nangong Yin was so anxious to pull Mu Qingyan's arm, Mu Qingyan didn't struggle, but her voice was already extremely cold, "Nangong Yin, do you have to bully me like this?" ”

"Yan'er, Yan'er, I ......" Nangong Yin didn't dare to let go, he knew that this release would be irretrievable in this life.

"Miss Mu, you and your cousin have already dissolved their marriage, why bother with it anymore? My cousin has a soft temperament, and I've been bullied enough by you over the years, can you let him go? Deng Min cried and pleaded for Nangong Yin.

An unsettling smile on Mu Qingyan's lips gradually expanded: "What is he willing to do, in what capacity does Miss Table condemn me?" Could it be that the concubines of your Deng family are so ignorant? She took two steps closer to Deng Min and raised her eyebrows stubbornly: "Don't say that you haven't married into Nangong Mansion yet, even if you do, it's not a shameful thing." ”

Deng Min didn't dare to look at Mu Qingyan's aggressive eyes, and took two steps back and cried breathlessly, "You want to withdraw from the marriage because your cousin loves me in your heart, do you regret it now?" ”

"Deng Min, you remember: only I don't want to Mu Qingyan, there is nothing I Mu Qingyan can't want, so I know for myself!" Mu Qingyan was impatient to entangle with it, and flicked his sleeves to go to the door.
