Chapter 136 What a coward!
Chapter 136 What a coward!
"Mu Nanyan! Tell me where you went today!" Mu Xiwen walked into the yard angrily, and when he stood in the middle of the room, he shook his sleeves vigorously and raised his head.
Mu Nanyan held the chopsticks in her mouth and thought: Is this person sick? Is he here just to pose? He didn't eat any fatty meat, why is he so greasy!
"Father, why did you come here so late at night to ask this? Don't you even ask if I'm hungry or thirsty after being out all day?" Mu Nanyan picked up the dishes on the table casually, her eyes full of sarcasm.
Mu Xiwen was also stunned by the questions. He had never thought about these questions. No, he came to question Mu Nanyan, so how did she become the one questioning herself!
"Mu Nanyan, don't change the subject. Just answer my question. You don't need to say anything more."
Mu Nanyan threw down her chopsticks. It was so annoying. She even climbed over the wall to return home to avoid these people, but she still couldn't escape. It was like a stink bug!
"My daughter is naturally going to the shop. Does your father have any questions? Oh! By the way, your father will open a new shop tomorrow and invite you to attend the ceremony."
Mu Xiwen knew what she was doing today, but this damn girl, he had clearly issued new house rules, but she just ignored them! "Mu Nanyan, go to the ancestral hall now and copy the new house rules a hundred times!"
Mu Nanyan asked lightly, "Father, what did your daughter do wrong? Why are you being punished?"
"That's right, father, why should my elder sister be punished!" Mu Xiyao was so angry when she heard this. It seemed that this father was in a terrible state and had a very dirty heart!
Mu Xiwen looked very embarrassed. Su Lianyi stood aside without saying a word, watching Mu Xiwen's actions. If Mu Xiwen dared to make a move, she would definitely kill one of his arms. She had made up her mind and was ready to leave the Mu family according to Mu Nanyan's words. Only when the young lady had the strength could she succeed in her revenge. She would go outside to help the young lady collect information and be her backup.
"Mu Xiyao, you too, are you the daughter of the Prime Minister's family? How can you run out every day? You two should go and copy the family rules! No one is allowed to leave the house tomorrow!"
"You can't control this." Mu Nanyan was really tired today and didn't want to pretend at all.
"Mu Nanyan! You are so unruly!!!" Mu Xiwen almost pissed her off to death.
"Rules? Father, my new shop will open tomorrow, and the Queen will also come to watch the ceremony. You told your daughter today that you will not be allowed to go tomorrow. Is this the rule you want? Since father thinks this is the rule, I will not say anything more. Yaoyao, let's go to the ancestral hall to copy the family rules." Mu Nanyan stood up and took Mu Xiyao's hand and was about to go out.
Mu Xiwen panicked. He really didn't expect the queen to go back. A little servant girl could actually ask the queen to do something. It was obvious that he couldn't control his daughter. "Since this is the father's fault, our whole family will go to Yan'er to watch the ceremony tomorrow. It's getting late now. You two should rest early. I will go back first."
Mu Xiwen's face was stern, he was not in a good mood, there was no way he could not offend the Queen, let alone the Ninth Prince. If the Queen went to the opening ceremony tomorrow, the Ninth Prince would definitely go as well. If Mu Nanyan did not show up, the damn girl would definitely complain afterwards. Now was not the time to tear his face with the Ninth Prince. After all, he was the God of War of Dongli, a god revered by the people. If he rashly offended this gentleman, not to mention the failure of his great cause, he might even lose his life!
Mu Nanyan wanted to laugh when she saw his cowardly look. Just one sentence scared him so much. What great things could this Mu Xiwen achieve? She didn't know if he cheated in the imperial examination and got the top scorer. Was the emperor also blind at that time?
"In that case, I won't see you off, father. Goodbye, father." Mu Nanyan sat back in her chair, picked up her chopsticks and continued eating.
Mu Xiwen was so embarrassed that he had to leave angrily. He glared at Su Lianyi before leaving, not for any other reason, but because Aunt Su had always been against him in the past few days. He used to think she was gentle and lovely, but these days he felt annoyed even when he saw her, mainly because she actually helped Mu Nanyan. It seemed that he had to give up with pain. How could he keep Mu Nanyan's eyes on his pillow?
Su Lianyi didn't even glance at him. She didn't want to stay in the Mu Mansion anymore anyway. There was no need to coax him in a humble manner anymore. It would be better if this old man was so angry that he died!
"Big sister, why do you think father came here today? Why didn't I understand? He didn't let us go at first, but you made a complete reversal in just two sentences!" Mu Xiyao was gnawing on a chicken leg with her mouth full.
Mu Nanyan handed him a cup of tea and said, "Don't worry about him. He's a coward. Maybe he's just looking for trouble because he has nothing to do today. We should just proceed as planned tomorrow."
"Wanxi, you go to the hospital tomorrow. You don't need to look after the new shop. The hospital may not have enough staff and medicine. Go and help Muzhi deal with it."
"Yes, young lady." Wan Xi poured another cup of tea for Mu Xiyao, "Fifth young lady, eat slowly. Eating so much greasy food so late at night may make you feel uncomfortable. Drink two more cups of tea to relieve the greasiness."
Mu Xiyao was wiping her mouth carelessly. Bai Lu helplessly held her forehead when she saw this. Her young lady was really something. No matter where she was, she always ate... wildly. What would she do when she got married in the future? She had to give her some advice when there was no one around.
Mu Nanyan went straight into the house after finishing her meal. She also needed to prepare things for tomorrow. Mu Xiyao ran onto the bed first, "Oh, so comfortable~"
"Big sister, let me sleep with you tonight. I don't want to go back. It's too late and my aunt will scold me again." Mu Xiyao rolled into a ball in the quilt.
"Okay, I'll ask someone to tell my aunt." Mu Nanyan was also afraid that the little guy would miss Jun Qi at night. If he cried secretly, she could find out in time, which would prove that Jun Qi definitely had a chance. Oh! It's really not easy to be a matchmaker!
If her sisters knew that she was a matchmaker in this world, they would probably laugh their heads off. A novice in love is actually helping people find love.
Mu Nanyan didn't get into bed until very late. She thought the girl was asleep, but she was still sleeping in the quilt. "Why isn't Yaoyao sleeping?"
"Big sister..." Mu Xiyao hugged Mu Nanyan's waist aggrievedly and arched her body into her arms, "Big sister, I feel a little uncomfortable."
"Ah!" Mu Nanyan pushed her away and felt her pulse. It was fine. "Yaoyao, tell me where you feel uncomfortable and how you feel."
Mu Xiyao pointed to her chest and shook her head, then pointed to her heart, "It's just a little stuffy, and a little blocked."
After hearing her description, Mu Nanyan finally felt relieved. It was not a serious illness, but just lovesickness. "Yaoyao, did you feel this way after Jun Qi left?"
Mu Xiyao nodded frantically: "Hey! Big sister, how did you know? Could it be that she drugged me? She won't let me rest in peace even after she left."
Mu Nanyan chuckled, "Okay, you're not poisoned, and you're fine. You may just miss him too much. You'll be fine when he comes back."
"Impossible. Big sister, I don't even have time to be annoyed with him, how could I miss him..." Mu Xiyao's face became redder and redder as she spoke, and finally she turned around and stopped talking.
