Chapter 190
Hearing this, Qiao Yuning nodded, stood up and said, "It's getting late, I have to go back, don't take the rumors outside to heart, brother Yichen decided to ask the emperor to give you a gift without your consent." Married, and..." Qiao Yuning didn't say what happened next, but Mu Qingwan could also guess.

Gong Yichen's marriage is not something he can do by himself, especially the marriages of the children of this kind of big family, which often have a purpose and interest. Although the Mu family is considered a noble family, compared to the Gong family, It was still a bit short, especially since Mu Qingwan was still a concubine.

"I know, don't worry." Mu Qingwan said with a smile.

After sending Qiao Yuning out, Mu Qingwan sat on a chair and started to be in a daze when she came back, thinking about the recent things, she felt that these things were planned in advance, step by step, there seemed to be some bigger conspiracy waiting She is average.

The more she thought about it, Mu Qingwan's heart sank a little.

No, she must find out this matter as soon as possible, and she cannot let the instigator stir up trouble behind her back.

It seems that because of the rumors outside, Mu Zongyi specially sent someone to come to Anlan Courtyard to spread the word, saying that Mu Qingwan would go to the front yard for dinner at night.

"Miss, you say master is..." Lingniang couldn't help frowning, and asked worriedly.

Mu Qingwan mocked lightly: "After hearing the rumors, I wondered if I could use me to climb up the big tree of the Gong family, so that his official position would be more secure."

A look of gloom flashed across Lingniang's eyes: "In the eyes of the master, he doesn't care about the life of the young lady, he is all focused on gaining power. , is a good daughter, if not, then..."

If not, then it must be worse than even the maids in this mansion.

At night, when Mu Qingwan brought Manyue to the main hall of the front yard, she realized that Nie Shi, Mu Yinyue, Mu Haoxuan, and Fu Peilan were all there. Seeing Mu Qingwan coming, Mu Zongyi did not do anything because of Mu Qingwan. Angry for being late, but with a smile on his face, he said: "Qing Wan is here, come and sit quickly."

On Mu Zongyi's left sits Nie, on the right sits Fu Peilan, next to Nie sits Mu Haoxuan, then Mu Yinyue, and Fu Peilan sits Aunt Li and Mu Qianrong, and the rest of the seats are already seated. It was full, and there was only the seat between Mu Qianrong and Mu Yinyue.

Mu Qingwan sat down between the two of them, and heard Fu Peilan say, "Mulang, Qingwan is here, so let's pass on the meal." Fu Peilan smiled at Mu Qingwan as she spoke.

Mu Qingwan sneered in her heart. It seemed that this Mu Zongyi was really a snobbish person. She couldn't help being flattered to be so polite to her just because of a rumor.

"Chuan meal." Mu Zongyi said, and the maids waiting in the main hall hurried down to prepare. Soon, all kinds of dishes were brought up. This is definitely a feast. dazzled.

"Eat first." When Mu Zongyi spoke, there was a smile on his face, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Mu Qingwan didn't say a word, she lowered her head and ate quietly, when she accidentally touched another pair of chopsticks with her chopsticks while picking up the dishes, Mu Qingwan raised her eyes slightly, and saw that Mu Haoxuan was also looking at her, seeing her looking over , Mu Haoxuan nodded slightly at her.

Mu Qingwan put the food on the plate in front of her, and ate quietly. She didn't notice that the scene where she and Mu Haoxuan's eyes met just now fell into the eyes of Mu Yinyue next to her.

Mu Yinyue's face is a little thinner, and she looks a lot thinner, but her appearance is much colder than before!
"Mulang, today the new cook has prepared a soup. This soup is very delicious, so I specially asked the cook to make this soup for everyone to taste." Fu Peilan said with a smile.

"Okay." Mu Zongyi glanced at Fu Peilan, his eyes were full of doting.

Fu Peilan asked the maid to bring the soup, she walked to Mu Qingwan's side, and was about to put the soup on the table, when she suddenly yelled, and then poured all the soup on Mu Qingwan's body.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound. Before Mu Qingwan recovered, she had been pulled out by a huge force, and the steaming soup was spilled on the ground at this moment, not on the ground. Mu Qingwan's body.

"What's going on?" There was a burst of anger in her ears, and Mu Qingwan stood up straight, only to realize that it was Mu Haoxuan who pulled her quickly with his sharp eyes and hands, which made her avoid the bowl of hot soup. If you fall on your body, you will definitely get burned.

"Slaves deserve to die, slaves deserve to die."

The servant girl serving the soup turned pale with fright, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed to Mu Zongyi and begged for mercy, "I accidentally tripped over my feet just now, I didn't do it on purpose, I really didn't mean it."

"Pull it out and deal with it according to the rules!" Mu Zongyi said coldly, with anger still on his face, a good dinner was ruined by this damn maid.

The people sitting here had different expressions, especially Nie Shi, she didn't say a word tonight, and there seemed to be no superfluous expression on her face.

But just now, the bowl of soup was supposed to be poured on Mu Qingwan's body, but Mu Haoxuan actually saved Mu Qingwan in an emergency and saved her from a catastrophe. How could Nie feel comfortable? , her complexion became a little gloomy, and Mu Yinyue, who was sitting next to Mu Qingwan, also had a not much better complexion.

After eating a meal, they came in high spirits and returned in disappointment. In the end, except for Fu Peilan, who acted coquettishly and foolishly, everyone else at the dinner table ate without saying a word like a gourd with its mouth sawn off.

After dinner, when Mu Qingwan was about to leave, as expected, Mu Zongyi sent someone to tell her to go to the study.

When Mu Qingwan arrived, Mu Zongyi was waiting for her in the study.

Seeing Mu Qingwan coming in, a smile flashed across Mu Zongyi's face sitting behind the desk, and he said, "Qingwan is here, come and sit down."

Mu Zongyi's enthusiasm always carried a strong taste of snobbery, and Mu Qingwan didn't even bother to look at that mouth.

She didn't sit down, she looked into Mu Zongyi's eyes, and said lightly: "You came to me today, what's the matter?"

Mu Qingwan's indifferent attitude, Mu Zongyi didn't take it to heart, but at this moment, he saw that Mu Qingwan's eyes seemed to be shining, as if looking at another golden mountain, oh no!It should be the same as looking at an imperial decree for him to be promoted.

"Qingwan, tell daddy, did Gong Yichen tell the emperor in the palace that you are the woman he must marry?" Mu Zongyi said, his eyes fixed on Mu Qingwan's face, for fear of missing any trace of her. expression.
