Chapter 152
Xiao Muzi's heart was agitated, and an inexplicable fear was born in her heart in vain. She looked at Xiao Muyan in amazement, fearing that she would swear to the death that she would not enter the palace to participate in the draft, her voice suddenly turned cold, and she said sharply: "Xiao Muyan Yan, you don't want to go to the selection of beautiful women, do you? Do you know that disobeying the emperor's order is a capital offense?"
As she spoke, she stretched out her finger and pointed at the tip of Xiao Muyan's nose.
Xiao Muyan looked around the crowd with a smile, and said without humility: "I think this decision is very good. After two days, I will enter the palace safely. gone."
Xiao Muzi's fingers trembled in mid-air, she never thought that Xiao Muyan would say such words, it was as if she had slapped her in the air, without giving her face at all .
Everyone in the room was stunned for a moment, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Xiao Muyan's gourd, even Wei Niang who was sitting at the top couldn't help but be surprised when she heard the words, she was afraid that there was a fraud in it,
But after thinking about it, even a little Xiao Muyan can't make trouble in Xiao's mansion, let alone enter a palace with ulterior motives?And she had already arranged everything in the palace, she didn't believe that Xiao Muyan could walk out of the palace alive.
Xiao Tianyi's eyes darkened, and he said in shock: "That's good, Mu Yan, you must remember your identity as the eldest lady of the Xiao Mansion, and always put the honor and disgrace of the Xiao Manor first. Don't lose face of the Xiao Manor .”
Xiao Muyan smiled faintly, but that smile never reached his eyes, Xiao Tianyi just regarded her as a pawn, since he couldn't give it to the prince, perhaps it would be the same to give it to the emperor in Xiao Tianyi's opinion.
But it's a pity that his calculation might be wrong. Did he really think she was still the daughter who was held in his hands and allowed to be dominated by him?
She lowered her eyes slightly, cupped her hands and said, "Yan'er follows the teachings of my lord father."
Xiao Tianyi said a few more words in the hall, which was regarded as an instruction from the head of the family. After all, it was rare for the whole family to gather together like this in Xiao's residence.
When Xiao Muyan helped her mother back to Lanyuan, it was already dusk, and Gu Manshi tightly held Xiao Muyan's fingers along the way, never letting go.As soon as she stepped into the Orchid Garden, she finally let out a sigh of relief that had been holding her back, but two lines of tears fell unconsciously, streaming down her face.
Xiao Muyan didn't know why her mother was crying suddenly, she was a little flustered for a while, she calmed down, "Mother, what's wrong with you? Didn't you look fine just now?"
Luluo wiped away Gu Manshi's tears with a handkerchief, and said anxiously: "It must be Madam who doesn't want Miss to enter the palace, but she is powerless to stop her. She was just holding back in the main hall just now, but now that she is in our own home, it must be in our hearts." All of my depression poured out."
Gu Manshi waved her hand, signaling to Luluo not to say any more, she choked up a bit, shook Xiao Muyan's palm, her fingers were as cold as thin ice in winter, "Mother is fine, it's fine, it's just that when I thought of you wanting to When I entered the palace, I couldn't stop my heartache."
Xiao Muyan bent the corners of her lips, showing a bright smile and said: "Mother, don't be sad, it's just a trip to the palace, I haven't seen anything in Xiao's mansion all day long. In the face of the world, going to the palace now can be regarded as seeing things, mother, don't worry, I will definitely come out of the palace smoothly and return to your side safe and sound."
Gu Manshi wiped away the tears from her face with a handkerchief, and said with lowered eyes, "Mother lost her temper. Mother doesn't want you to be rich and prosperous, or have a bright future, but just wants you to be safe and happy forever in this life." Get over it, even if it's just an ordinary person, mother is content."
Xiao Muyan smiled and comforted: "Mother, don't worry, my daughter is no longer the Xiao Muyan who was bullied by others. I have the ability to protect myself, and one day I will be able to bring you and Luluo out of this Xiao Mansion. Our family of three is looking for a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, where we can live in peace and harmony.”
Hearing this, Luluo's dark eyes lit up suddenly, and she said happily: "If it's as Miss said, can the slaves also open a small field in our new home, and then plant some four-season vegetables and fruits, when the time comes You don’t even need to buy vegetables, you can still eat your own vegetables and fruits.”
Xiao Muyan glanced at Luluo, and couldn't help teasing: "Luluo, I don't think you are thinking about it, but you have a heart for food, and you will never forget the word "eat" wherever you go. Be careful that you will become a big fat man sooner or later! I will build another house for you sometime!"
When Luluo heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that she shouted in embarrassment and anger: "Miss, you cursed me into a big fat man! When the time comes, you will not have a share of the vegetables and fruits!"
Gu Manshi was amused by the teasing by the two of them back and forth, and then her mood widened a lot. She looked at Xiao Muyan with kind mother's love in her eyes. Her Mu Yan suddenly grew up at some point. It's because she no longer needs the protection of her mother, and can already support a world by herself.
Maybe she really should let go, and she has long been unable to deal with the impermanence of the world. What she has to do is to believe in her daughter, and one day do everything she promised.
She nodded with a smile and said: "You two don't want to quarrel anymore. It's getting late now. I'll cook dinner for you tonight. What dishes do you two want to eat?"
Xiao Muyan rolled her eyes and said with a mischievous smile, "I want to eat fried asparagus!"
Gu Manshi nodded and agreed, "Okay, mother will make fried asparagus for you."
Lu Luo hurriedly added: "I want to eat fish, eat fish!"
Gu Manshi also smiled and nodded in agreement.The three of them walked into the small kitchen to cook while talking and laughing. Sometimes the ordinary life is a kind of happiness that flows slowly.
The two days passed quickly, and Gu Manshi helped Xiao Muyan pack her bags. The night before her departure, Xiao Muyan had nothing to do and couldn't sleep, holding a teapot in her hand, leaning on the bench sipping from the pillars of the porch.
The night wind blew past, passing a clear shadow on the tree.
Xiao Muyan raised her eyes and looked at the moon-white robe on the tree with a smile, and raised the small porcelain pot in her hand with a smile, "Would you like tea?"
Meng Lilun suddenly fell from the tree, and landed gracefully beside Xiao Muyan. His slender fingers lightly held the small pot, raised his head and took a few sips before handing the teapot back to Xiao Muyan's hand .
Xiao Muyan supported the cold body of the small blue porcelain pot, raised her eyebrows, her eyes flashed like autumn water and said: "Meng Lilun, you came late at night just to get me a sip of tea, right?"
The corners of Meng Lilun's lips raised, and he lowered his eyes to look at Xiao Muyan with a half-smile, his bony fingers rested on the scattered hair on her forehead, and his star-like eyes reflected a deep luster.
