Chapter 256
"Yes, old lady." The ladies said happily, and then walked towards the peony flowers outside in twos and threes.

Just as Mu Qingwan stepped out of the flower pavilion, a voice came from behind.

"Miss Mu San, please stay."

When Mu Qingwan turned her head, she saw Biyu walking over with a smile, and said, "Miss San, our old lady is here to invite you."

Lou Qingwu at the side smiled when she heard the words, and said, "Go quickly, I'll wait for you outside."

"it is good."

Mu Qingwan followed Biyu and walked inside. The old lady Gong had already left the flower pavilion and entered the study. When Biyu led Mu Qingwan there, she realized that the eldest princess Chu Qianhan was also inside, seeing her When she came over, Chu Qianhan was not surprised at all.

"Old Madam, Third Miss Mu is here." Biyu led Mu Qingwan in, served her tea, and said respectfully to Old Madam Gong.

"Well, you go down first."

"Yes."

The door of the study room was closed, and only Mu Qingwan, Chu Qianhan, and the old lady Gong were left in the room. The old lady wrote with a pen and did not make a sound. For a while, the atmosphere was a little stagnant.

After about a cup of tea, seeing the old lady Gong put away the pen, Chu Qianhan smiled and said: "The word aunt is more expressive than before, no wonder the father is always thinking about it."

"Even you little girl came to compliment me. The old woman knows how much I own." Gong Madam smiled and gave Chu Qianhan a sideways glance. What she said was clearly meant for her. Mu Qingwan listened.

Mu Qingwan smiled faintly in her heart, but there was no emotional change on her face, as if the conversation between the two had nothing to do with her.

The old lady Gong and Chu Qianhan's aunt and nephew started talking there, completely ignoring Mu Qingwan, as if she was a transparent outsider.

Mu Qingwan also knew in her heart that she rejected the Gong family's marriage proposal. From the Gong family's point of view, she was already very ignorant of flattery, and it was right for the old lady Gong to give her a bad rap.

Mu Qingwan picked up the teacup next to her and took a sip of the tea. She looked demure and natural, and she didn't feel cramped or uncomfortable because of the neglect of Old Madam Gong and Chu Qianhan.

On the other hand, when the old lady Gong was talking to Chu Qianhan, she had been observing Mu Qingwan secretly all the time. She acted peacefully and calmly, but she took a look at Mu Qingwanling in her heart. After seeing the other girls, I'm afraid she would have been embarrassed and anxious by now, or else she would have put all her dissatisfaction on her face, but Mu Qingwan seemed to be a normal person.

The old lady Gong and Chu Qianhan talked for a long time, but they couldn't continue. They were trying to test Mu Qingwan, but Mu Qingwan didn't take the bait, so the two of them naturally couldn't continue talking.

"Auntie, look at our aunt and nephew who are only focused on talking, and Miss Mu didn't even see her coming in. It's really rude, Miss Mu won't be offended?" Chu Qianhan said with a smile.

What she said, how dare Mu Qingwan, a mere commoner, feel dissatisfied with the two princesses, isn't she courting death?
"The princess was joking. The princess and the old lady had a good chat, so why should I bother you?" Mu Qingwan put down her teacup, her expression neither humble nor overbearing.

Mrs. Gong looked at Mu Qingwan sharply, and said, "I have heard that Miss Mu San is proud and arrogant. When I saw her today, she is indeed a proud girl."

Mu Qingwan looked at Mrs. Gong, and pursed her lips slightly: "Aren't all the ladies who can come to the flower viewing feast today are ladies from aristocratic families who have caught the eyes of Mrs. Gong? Here it is."

After she finished speaking, old Madam Gong's eyes flashed sharply. It was obvious that Mu Qingwan had aroused her interest.

"Han'er, let's go out and enjoy the flowers with them. If you like it, pick a few pots to take back when you return to the palace." Old Madam Gong smiled kindly at Chu Qianhan.

"Yes, thank you, aunt." Chu Qianhan was overjoyed, and then left the study.

"Miss Mu must also know the purpose of the old lady's invitation to you today." The old lady Gong said to Mu Qingwan lightly.

In all fairness, she still likes this girl quite a bit. She possesses skills but is not arrogant about her talents. As a concubine, she is not afraid of power and is neither humble nor overbearing. Such a woman has the absolute ability to be a wife of a family. There has never been a shortage of such wealthy ladies.

"I think, since I rejected the Gong family's marriage, Mrs. Gong must also want to see what kind of woman I am." Mu Qingwan said conservatively.

The poem writing in the flower pavilion just now was the first test. Mrs. Gong just wanted to see if Mu Qingwan was ignorant of current affairs, and with the princess present, she could win the championship with one stroke without any scruples; , that is the second test, to see if she is restless, or if she is a follower of power, but Mu Qingwan sat there lightly from the beginning to the end, resigned and independent, and in the end, she was not even them. Leaving her alone seemed like she was leaving them alone.

Such a woman is really strange.

Old Madam Gong looked at Mu Qingwan with her sharp eyes. It was quite normal for Yichen from her family to like such a woman.

"You're right. I just want to see what it's like to be a person who dares to refuse the marriage of the Gong family. Ms. Mu, compared with your Mu family, you can know that the Gong family is unworthy. You can marry me. It's already high, and Ms. Mu's holding on to Qiao now is nothing more than relying on Chen'er liking you."

What Mrs. Gong meant was that Mu Qingwan relied on Gong Yichen's liking, so she deliberately set a high price for Qiao, just because she wanted to keep an eye on the wife's position.

Mu Qingwan smiled faintly when she heard the words, and then said: "Grandmaid Gong thinks that I refuse the Gong family's marriage because I am a concubine?"

Mrs. Gong's expression was noncommittal.

Mu Qingwan looked directly at her, and said: "The reason for my refusal is not because of my position as a concubine. If I love a man deeply, as long as I am sincere, even if he is nameless, then I am willing to stand by his side. If you don't love, then even if you are thousands of miles away, what does it matter to me if the world's glory is held in front of me?"

When Mu Qingwan said these words, Mrs. Gong's expression froze slightly, as if she was shocked by her words.

Her eyes became a little ethereal, as if she was thinking about something else, and the elite eyes also softened.

The atmosphere in the study room became a little weird and quiet, and Mu Qingwan didn't disturb the old lady Gong's thoughts. It took about half a stick of incense before the old lady Gong came back to her senses, and looked at Mu Qingwan with a hint of Strangely, the voice that spoke was also slightly hoarse, and said: "Since Miss Mu San doesn't have such thoughts for our Gong family, then the Gong family will naturally not force others to do things against them. Miss Mu, go back."
