C314 Chalcedony (III) (2/2)
Furthermore, the number of times that Mu Shi saw Mu Rousang was also limited.
Because of this, Mu Yiyang, Mu Jinzhi and Mu Rousang pampered her the least.
She was the only one who could speak in such a casual manner.
If, if there really was a 'if', if there was a 'if', if there was a 'if', if there was a 'if', if there was a 'if', if there was a 'if', if there was a 'if', would she regret it?
She ambled off with her four big girls.
Who knew that once they entered the small courtyard, they would hear the sounds of argument from inside. They could vaguely hear that her two elder brothers and her brother-in-law were arguing about something.
Mu Fengchai raised his right index finger and placed it lightly on her lips: Shh!
A trace of doubt flashed through her pair of beautiful and clear eyes. Weren't elder brothers very close with their brother-in-law?
Why was there a quarrel?
He indicated to the lass not to make any sound.
She lifted up her skirt and softly crept along the veranda towards the south window of the teahouse.
He perked up his small ears and eavesdropped on the conversation in the house.
”Jin'zhi, you were in the palace earlier, you shouldn't have stopped me.”
This was Yang Zixuan's voice.
The doubt in Mu Fengchai's heart became heavier, and she did not know what he meant by those words.
”You are my brother-in-law. If anything happens to you, who will my brother-in-law rely on in the future?” Mu Jinzhi was so angry that he spat at him again.
Mu Yiyang also advised, ”Brother-in-law, don't be too anxious, he should be talking about this matter for fun.”
Him?
Who is it?
Hiding under the window, Mu Fengchai was even more confused.
”Hmph, how can this be a joke? ”I refuse to believe that he's laughing and fighting with me. Who knows if he might be testing me? Since it's something that he shouldn't have, I should fight him with my life on the line.” Yang Zixuan had always been a gentle person.
Mu Fengchai thought that only if she had something to do with her own cousin would he be perverted.
Could it be within the palace?
The image of the man flashed through her mind.
She had never told her cousin about this, but later on, that man had secretly come to the quiet garden a few more times. He stood under the tree in the back garden, quietly and in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
At that time, Mu Rousang had already made an engagement, she did not want her cousin's reputation to be tainted.
”Sigh, why would that be … ”You've already ascended the throne, and yet you're still thinking about it. Back then, ah, bad karma, if I knew it would turn out like this, I would have stopped you. Who knows …” Mu Jinzhi's sigh came out from the house.
Mu Fengchai was even more certain of her guess.
However, it was unknown when these people had entered the palace and what had happened.
She wanted to hear more, but Xia Ye had already walked to the window with his back towards her. He tugged on her sleeve, indicating that she should look at the sky.
It was almost an auspicious time.
She stuck out her tongue at Xia Ye, then mischievously blinked her eyes, before reluctantly being pulled away by Xia Ye.
She had always been thinking about this matter. Even after the end of the year, she had never seen her brothers in a difficult situation. Thinking about it, that person had violated her own brother-in-law's taboo and touched his reverse scale.
As for his reverse scale, only her cousin was one!
After the age of twenty, very soon, everyone in the aristocratic circle knew that there were girls in the Mu family who were well-mannered. There were also people who came to propose marriage, and the person who fit her the best was the third young master of the Guo Family.
This was her cousin's thread.
Once again, Mu Fengchai saw that the things she overheard that day had disappeared, and she was inexperienced enough. She thought that the person in the palace had calmed down and decided to take care of Guo Family's matter.
Guo Family's Third Young Master looked average, she had a bit of nobility and a bit of dignity on him, she had once secretly played the role of a primary school student, following behind his brothers, meeting him face to face, eating dinner, and having a toast with him.
However, this Er Ran was unable to see that she was a woman.
However, she, who had been lectured by Mu Rousang since she was young, knew that the Third Young Master of Guo Family did not seem to be raising those embroidered pillows.
Mu Fengchai saw a familiar feeling from him that she hadn't felt in a long time. It was simple and straightforward like what she had experienced in the small mountain village.
She thought, if I marry someone, marrying the Third Young Master of the Guo Family, who is a coarse but thin teenager, would also be good.
Maybe some people were born without a destiny.
When she was a little hoping to marry into the Guo Family.
She had inadvertently found out about a matter that had changed her decision. Sometimes, a single decision could allow her to take a step into heaven and a step into hell.
On this day, she sewed a long coat for each of her brothers at home, cut off the thread with a pair of scissors and shook the thick brocade robes on her hands.
”Has brother returned from school?”
Xia Ye and the others didn't know, so she quickly replied: ”This servant will send the little girl to ask her first.”
From time to time, the little girl would talk back and forth, saying that Mu Yingyang had returned, and that she had returned with Mu Jinzhi.
”My cousin is here too? I just happened to make him a robe. Xia Zhu, help me wrap that robe up quickly. ” Mu Fengchai instructed his own little girl to help her wrap up the spring jacket, and then brought his little lass along to Mu Kui Yang's study room.
