Chapter 390 On the Eve of the Wedding!
Chunyu blinked. "Are you saying that the Crown Princess isn't a good person either?"
Mu Xin Nuan chuckled lightly, "If she were a good person, how could she have allowed Madam Xie to say those things?"
"Miss, do you mean the Crown Princess did it on purpose?"
Mu Xin Nuan didn't answer her question. She looked a little tired and stretched her arms and legs. "I want to sleep for a while. Don't let anyone come in and disturb me."
"Yes, ma'am."
Mu Xin Nuan slept until it was time for dinner.
Madam Li was already extremely anxious. As soon as she returned to the manor, she wanted to ask her about her situation in the palace that day. Unexpectedly, she said that she needed to prepare some medicine and that no one was allowed to disturb her. It was almost time for dinner before she finally left Yuexuan.
"Anuan, are you alright? You scared me to death! Everyone says you're steady and reliable, but why are you so unprepared today?"
"I'm sorry, Mother, I've caused you worry. I'm an unfilial daughter."
"Alright, it's good that you're alright." Mu Chang'an said with concern, "Look how scared you've made this child!"
Mu Xin Nuan felt a surge of warmth in her heart again. "Father, the Empress summoned me to the palace alone today, so it's no wonder Mother was worried."
"Did the Empress say anything today?"
Mu Xin Nuan shook her head. "Her Majesty the Empress didn't say anything, but the Xie family seems to be quite unlikable."
"what happened?"
Mu Xin Nuan recounted the behavior of Xie Yi Shuang and Madam Xie in detail, including the part where the Crown Princess stood there straight and did not stop Madam Xie.
"Hmph! This is utterly outrageous! What is Xie Yishuang anyway? How dare she set such a trap for my children? Will taking these petty advantages give her more flesh or more money? It's incredibly stupid!"
"They still said it was utterly foolish, so let it go and not bother with them. Come, let's have dinner. Someone, go and invite the old master over for dinner."
"Yes, sir."
The days that followed filled Mu Xin Nuan with increasing anxiety. This anxiety, however, stemmed from her impending marriage. Having been reborn, she was already getting married again so soon!
"Chunyu, do you know how Jin Hui and Mu Xinyao are doing in Jiangnan these days?"
"Miss, a few days ago, I heard the Prince say that the two of them are quite good at winning people's hearts over there."
Mu Xin Nuan merely raised an eyebrow at this; she knew perfectly well what tricks Mu Xin Yao had up her sleeve!
"Winning over the people is a tactic that Mu Xinyao is good at." Mu Xinnuan thought of her past life. She was just a concubine's daughter, yet she was able to befriend many noble ladies outside, which shows how meticulous she was.
Furthermore, she thought of her past life, when she was just a lowly concubine, yet she was able to thrive in the entire Dingyuan Prefecture. With elders protecting her and loyal servants following her, naturally, the chances of success in whatever she did were much greater.
However, now she's trying to win people's hearts in Jiangnan? Mu Xin Nuan's eyes narrowed slightly. This Mu Xin Yao knows that since she has already married Jin Er, her status cannot be changed no matter what, and she can never become a legitimate daughter or wife. So, she is thinking of doing the same thing as in her previous life to help Jin Er make a future.
Mu Xin Nuan casually toyed with a gold hairpin in one hand, thinking to herself, in this life and the last, Mu Xin Yao still ended up on that path. She wanted to see if this Jin Er could still defeat the Prince of Jin Yang without her support and without the strong assistance of the Li and Mu families.
Want to sit in the position of Marquis of Dingyuan? Hmph! You'll have to see if I'm willing to do it!
"Miss, a maid from the palace has come and brought over the wedding dress. She said she wants you to try it on first, and if there's anything that doesn't fit, she'll make alterations immediately."
Mu Xin Nuan raised an eyebrow slightly. Someone from the palace has arrived?
"Madam said that your place is too small, so why don't you try Jin Yuan? It just so happens that Second Madam is there talking too, so we can help take a look together."
Mu Xin Nuan nodded, "Okay, go and tell your mother that I'll be there right away."
"Yes, ma'am."
Jin was sitting with her mother. If she were to come to her Moon Pavilion to try on her wedding dress, Jin would naturally come along. It seemed that her mother still didn't quite trust Jin, which was why she didn't want her to come. This was also out of concern that something might go wrong before her wedding.
Thinking this through, Mu Xin Nuan finally smiled. Although her mother was a bit tougher than before, she also possessed a more delicate femininity. In front of her father, her mother was always gentle and graceful. This was a good change.
Now that Mu Xinyao is no longer in the household, and Mu Qingyuan has been with his mother since childhood, his attitude towards her is naturally extremely respectful. At this time, she is getting married, so there is not much to worry about anyone causing trouble in the household.
When Mu Xin Nuan arrived at Jin Yuan, she saw several palace ladies sitting there drinking tea. As soon as they saw Mu Xin Nuan enter, they all stood up and greeted her.
Madam Li smiled and said, "Thank you for your help, aunts and nannies. My girl is still young and sometimes she may be a little ignorant. In the future, I hope you will all guide her more."
"Madam is too modest. The Princess is renowned for her talent and filial piety. She always speaks and acts with her own ideas, and we servants are not allowed to interfere."
The implication is that Mu Xin Nuan, despite her young age, is quite cunning and makes all her own decisions, completely disregarding the older generation like them!
Mu Xin Nuan's brow twitched slightly; something seemed off about what she was hearing.
Could it be that these female officials were all bestowed upon us by the Empress? If that's the case, then this is truly troublesome! Judging from their demeanor, although they appear respectful on the surface, there's actually a hint of disdain in their eyes and brows.
"Mother, didn't you say that your daughter was supposed to come and try on her wedding dress?"
"Oh, right, right, look at me, I almost forgot as soon as I started talking."
Next, it was time to try on the wedding dress. The wedding dress was really complicated, with a total of nine layers inside and out, plus double pendants and hairpins. Just putting it on took a quarter of an hour.
This was just a trial run of the phoenix crown; she hadn't actually put it on carefully yet. Otherwise, it would have probably taken her half an hour to put it on.
However, during the process of putting on her wedding dress, Mu Xin Nuan discovered some very interesting things.
Looking at the several stern-faced female officials, if Mu Xin Nuan's temper hadn't improved somewhat, she would have really thought of kicking them out on the spot.
