Chapter 209 Heartwarming Worries!
Mu Xin Nuan's conversation with Liu Ting Ting made her more cautious. This cousin was honest, at least in front of her, she didn't have much of a guard up. However, she had grown up eventually. Now she hated Liu Hai Ye and the Liu family, but what about the future?
After all, they are all of Liu family blood. Hatred will gradually fade with time. Moreover, He Shi has already been dealt with. Now, Father and the others are focused on Tingting and Zhuangzhuang. Who knows if the siblings will be persuaded by the Liu family or Mu Changchun in the future?
Mu Xin Nuan had given up all hope for that aunt!
He's just a complete idiot!
Whatever Liu Haiye says goes. Although things seem a bit better now, he's still fundamentally unchanged!
Mu Xin Nuan shook her head, no longer thinking about it. She was already dealing with a lot of trouble herself, so she didn't have the energy to care about others.
Perhaps you should first think about how you should arrange your future marriage?
Originally, Mu Xin Nuan didn't want to have anything to do with Chu Rong anymore, but now?
Mu Xinnuan absentmindedly picked up a book, flipped through it casually a couple of times, but still couldn't read it. She sighed and went to the front yard to find Mu Qingxuan.
"Why did you come over, sister?"
Mu Qingxuan was practicing swordsmanship with his martial arts master when he saw her coming. He immediately put down his sword and ran over.
Looking at her younger brother, who was already a little taller than her, Mu Xin Nuan was naturally happy. She took a handkerchief and wiped his sweat, asking, "Are you tired?"
"Not tired! Did my sister bring me food again?"
Mu Xin Nuan glared at him, "All you ever think about is eating!"
Mu Qingxuan chuckled, then pulled Mu Xinnuan's hand and led her to sit down at a nearby stone table. "Sister, I've heard about Brother Chu's matter. Are you really willing to marry him?"
Mu Xin Nuan felt slightly embarrassed. Why did she feel a little awkward mentioning her marriage in front of her younger brother?
“Sister, although I admire Prince Chang Le, as Mother said, you are the darling of our Mu family. How can you become someone’s concubine? Even a royal concubine is not as good as marrying Brother Chu as his principal wife!”
Mu Xin Nuan's long eyelashes fluttered. "Ah Xuan knows a lot! Tell me, where did you hear all this from?"
"What? It's just that I overheard Father and Mother's conversation that day." Mu Qingxuan said with a slight embarrassment, "Sister, I really don't want you to be bullied in the future. Even if you become a concubine in the royal family, what good will it do? You still have to be careful and watch your step all day long. Is this kind of hard life really what you want, sister?"
"Of course not! Sister wants to live a free and unrestrained life. But Ah Xuan, do you think such a thing really exists in this world?" Mu Xin Nuan's vision was a little blurry, and unexpectedly, the image of that silver-masked boy appeared in her mind. Although it was a little blurry, she was very sure that it was him!
"Sister, if you don't want to marry anyone, then don't! Yangyang and I will take care of you in the future!"
Mu Xin Nuan burst out laughing. "Yang Yang can't even speak properly yet, and he wants to support me? Forget it!"
"Sister, I'm not joking with you!" Mu Qingxuan said with a serious expression. "Who says a woman has to get married? There's no such law in our Great Yong! Sister, as long as I have food to eat, I'll make sure you don't go hungry. So, you don't need to force yourself!"
Mu Qingxuan reached out and held her hand tightly. "Sister, I heard Father mention it, and that's what he meant too. If we want wealth and status, the men of the Mu family will earn it themselves; if we want glory, the children and grandchildren of the Mu family will establish it themselves! The Mu family has been a family of scholars for generations, and there is no reason for a woman to exchange wealth and status for it!"
Mu Xin Nuan felt a warmth in her heart, and her eyebrows twitched slightly. "Did Father say this?"
Mu Qingxuan nodded. "Grandfather was there too! He didn't say a word the whole time, but he seemed a little worried."
Mu Xin Nuan smiled helplessly, "I've caused him trouble."
"What are you saying? We're all family, we all share the surname Mu, why do you always say things like that, sister?"
Mu Qingxuan looked around, then lowered his body and said in a low voice, "Sister, I heard that Grandfather and Grandmother also know about this. You didn't know, did you? Right now, Uncle and Cousin have come over and are talking to Father in the study."
"what?"
Mu Xin Nuan was startled. Her maternal uncle had arrived? And with her cousin? Could it be...?
Mu Qingxuan said slyly, "I even eavesdropped on a few things before I started practicing my swordplay."
Mu Xin Nuan glared at him, "You were eavesdropping again? Judging from your tone, you think you've got some kind of skill?"
Mu Qingxuan chuckled awkwardly, "Sister, I overheard them mentioning your marriage."
Mu Xin Nuan's face flushed slightly. "Don't tell me that my older cousin was involved in this too?"
"How did you know, sister?" Mu Qingxuan asked, looking surprised. This expression only confirmed Mu Xinnuan's earlier suspicions.
She sighed softly, somewhat helplessly, "What are they trying to do? Is it really necessary?"
"Isn't it all because they don't want you to marry into the royal family as a concubine? Sister, everyone feels sorry for you."
Mu Xin Nuan frowned and waved her hand, saying, "I know! Of course I understand all of this. But the problem is, now? Never mind, I can't explain it to you! It's just making things more complicated!"
Mu Xin Nuan said this aloud, but in her heart she was thinking, several days had passed since the Prince of Chang Le's sudden marriage proposal, and there had been no movement outside, nor any news from the palace. Could it be that the Prince of Chang Le was deliberately making a fool of her?
As soon as this thought popped into her mind, Mu Xin Nuan became somewhat unsettled!
She pursed her lips slightly, her eyes hardening. Could this Prince Chang Le be just bored and having nothing better to do than deliberately cause trouble at the Mu residence?
The way Prince Chang Le behaved, his imposing presence—it just didn't seem to match the silver-masked youth at all! Could it be that I was wrong? Were they not the same person at all?
Thinking back, ever since the silver-masked man came and said some strange things, he has never come back.
The more she thought about it, the less they seemed like the same person! Mu Xin Nuan felt conflicted and unsure whether she was hoping for something or fearing something!
"Sister, sister!"
Mu Xin Nuan felt someone tug at her, and when she came to her senses, she asked, "What's wrong?"
"Your eldest uncle is calling you."
Mu Xin Nuan turned around and saw Liu Feng staring at her with slightly furrowed brows not far behind her.
