After the dinner, Mu Yunxiao left the hall and went directly to Ning Jiuwei. Looking at her back, he shouted: "Ning Jiuwei~"
"What's the matter?" Ning Jiuwei turned his head and looked at Mu Yunxiao, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, and asked.
Mu Yunxiao looked at Ning Jiuwei, his voice was a little low, and he said, "It's time to celebrate the New Year."
"I know." Ning Jiu nodded slightly, feeling increasingly baffled by Mu Yunxiao.
"Then are you going home for the New Year this year?" Mu Yunxiao seemed to have mustered up the courage to ask.
Ning Jiuwei's heart suddenly shook when she heard Mu Yunxiao's words. Will she go home? Does she have a home? There has never been a moment that made her heart so warm.
"Let me ask you, are you going home to celebrate the New Year this year? Mom has been looking forward to this day for many years." Mu Yunxiao looked at Ning Jiuwei and asked again.
Ning Jiuwei turned her head and glanced at Qin Lin. Then she raised a smile on her lips and said, "Tell Mrs. Gu that I will go."
"I'm asking you something, you...?"
Mu Yunxiao was already prepared to be rejected. Suddenly he heard Ning Jiuwei nodding in agreement. He thought he was hallucinating. He had prepared a lot of words, but they were all stuck in his throat, and his facial expression looked funny.
"Is there anything else?" Ning Jiu asked with a slight frown.
"Uh...that...that's gone. You can go." Mu Yunxiao shook his head and said.
Ning Jiu nodded slightly, turned around and walked side by side towards the carriage with Qin Lin, preparing to return to the palace, while Mu Yunxiao behind him was still digesting.
"Yun Xiao, where are the Jiuwei people?" Mu Chenfeng walked over with a somewhat wandering pace and asked with earnestness in his eyes.
Mu Yunxiao pulled Mu Chenfeng and said, "Brother, did you hear that Ning Jiuwei promised me just now? She said she would be very happy to go home during the New Year."
"What did you say?" Mu Chenfeng frowned and asked.
"I said, Ning Jiuwei promised to go home for the New Year. Brother, I won't tell you anymore. I will tell my mother the good news. She will be very happy." Mu Yunxiao ignored Mu Chenfeng because he was happy in his heart. Weird today.
Watching Mu Yunxiao leave, Mu Chenfeng shook his somewhat groggy head. He seemed to have really drunk too much today, so it was more important to go back.
"Brother Morrowind, please stay."
A pretty woman's voice came from behind. Mu Chenfeng stopped and turned around to look. He saw the person wearing a bright red cloak and a plain jacket underneath. He looked pretty and cute.
"...Mu Xiaoxiao?" Mu Chenfeng looked at her for a while, then suddenly frowned and asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao curled her lips and smiled, and said, "I'm sorry that big brother still remembers me. Xiaoxiao is very touched."
"Why are you here? What do you want from me?" Mu Chenfeng asked with disgust in his heart when he thought of what Mu Xiaoxiao did at Mu's house.
Hearing the disgust in Mu Chenfeng's tone, Mu Xiaoxiao ignored it. Instead, her smile became brighter. She approached Mu Chenfeng step by step and said, "Because I know my eldest brother and I have seen him being tortured. Naturally, I feel distressed, and I want to fulfill my eldest brother’s wish.”
"Perform what?" Mu Chenfeng took a step back without leaving a trace, feeling increasingly dizzy.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and said angrily: "Don't you like Jiu Wei, brother? Are you willing to watch her fall into Qin Lin's arms?"
"Shut up, Mu Xiaoxiao, I'm warning you, don't have Jiu Wei's ideas, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind." Mu Chenfeng's eyes became alert in just a moment, and his gentle temperament instantly became as cold as ice. .
"Ha~"
Mu Xiaoxiao opened her red lips lightly and couldn't help but chuckle. The brighter the smile, the colder her heart became. She and Mu Chenfeng had known each other for more than ten years, but in the end, they were still no match for Ning Jiuwei who had just been less than a year old. .
After a while, Mu Xiaoxiao said, "I know brother, you still have resentment towards me. No matter what I do, you won't believe it. But today, there is something I must tell you."
"I'm not interested in listening." Mu Chenfeng said, striding to leave.
"This matter is about Ning Jiuwei. If you just leave like this, you will regret it." Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Mu Chenfeng's back and shouted loudly.
Mu Chenfeng, who had already left, heard the words Ning Jiuwei, and his legs seemed to be frozen, unable to move forward. He turned his head to look at Mu Xiaoxiao, who had a serious face, and asked: "You What on earth are you going to say?”
"Brother, do you still remember that the Mu family was almost wiped out?" Mu Xiaoxiao asked as he spoke.
Mu Chenfeng nodded and said, "I remember, but what does this have to do with Jiuwei?"
Mu Xiaoxiao sneered and asked, "Brother, do you know who leaked the information about Auntie and Qingchen?"
"Sixth Prince Qin Que." Mu Chenfeng said.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head, smiled and said, "Wrong, the mastermind behind this incident is actually Qin Lin. He used the Sixth Prince to prepare to eliminate the Mu family."
"impossible."
Mu Chenfeng obviously didn't believe Mu Xiaoxiao's words. He remembered that it was the fourth prince Qin Lin and Qin Yue who saved the Mu family and avoided this disaster. If Qin Lin did it, why did he help the Mu family? .
Seeing that Mu Chenfeng didn't believe it, Mu Xiaoxiao said, "It's not impossible. Qin Lin did this. He borrowed a knife to kill people, used the sixth prince to bring down the Mu family, so that he could eliminate the third prince Qin Yue in one fell swoop. The Sixth Prince, Qin Que, will benefit him without any harm."
"Even so, what does it have to do with Jiuwei?" Mu Chenfeng didn't want to argue with Mu Xiaoxiao on this issue, so he frowned and asked.
"Of course it does matter. That's because she made an agreement with Qin Lin in order to save the Mu family. As long as Qin Lin saves the Mu family, Ning Jiuwei will marry him. The two of them are together, not because Ning Jiuwei loves him. , but to save the Mu family, now you still say it doesn't matter?" Mu Xiaoxiao said, with a hint of mockery in her eyes.
After listening to Mu Xiaoxiao's words, Mu Chenfeng felt his head buzzing. How could this be possible? Jiuwei and Qin Lin were together because of a deal. Isn't Jiuwei very sad? She actually sacrificed for the Mu family. So much.
"Brother, this is Miao Miao San. If you want to take Ning Jiuwei away, I can help you." Mu Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
Mu Chenfeng looked at the porcelain bottle in Mu Xiaoxiao's hand, frowned, and asked warily: "Why do you want to help me?"
"Because I like Qin Lin, doesn't eldest brother always know what I'm thinking?" Mu Xiaoxiao curled her lips and asked.
After hearing Mu Xiaoxiao's words, Mu Chenfeng frowned slightly, and his eyes became a little wandering. His eyes seemed a little unfocused and he didn't have much defense.
"After the New Year, Ning Jiuwei and Qin Lin will get married. I think you should have the answer in your mind about what to do. I have said everything that needs to be said. I will leave first." Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Mu Chen Feng, after speaking softly, turned around and disappeared at the palace gate.
Mu Chenfeng stood in the cold wind. Not only was he not awake, but he was even more drunk. He kept recalling Mu Xiaoxiao's words in his mind, got on his horse, and headed straight for the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
"The medicine has taken effect." In the carriage, Mu Xiaoxiao sat on her seat, lowered the sedan curtain, looked at Qin Que opposite, and said with a smile.
