After the rebirth of the Marquis's mistress, she smiled at the scumbag's family

Because Mo Ruochen went directly to the military camp after court and did not return to the palace for lunch, Xiao Yunxi asked Mu Qingyun to stay in the palace for lunch.

The two of them didn't care about not talking while eating or sleeping. They sat face to face at the round table, chatting and eating.

Although the lunch was not luxurious, it was also very exquisite.

Mu Qingyun ate the crystal soup dumplings and praised: "This soup dumpling tastes really delicious, and the shrimp meat inside has no fishy smell at all."

Xia He served Xiao Yunxi dishes and replied with a smile, "The Duke met this chef when he went south. Madam said that he ate his crystal soup dumplings for several meals in a row."

"When I left, I couldn't bear to let her go, so I spent a lot of money to invite her back to the capital. A few days ago, she was snatched away by the princess."

Xiao Yunxi glared at Xia He in annoyance, "That's an invitation, how can you call it snatching?"

In addition to being well-known for his talent and learning, Duke Ningguo is also known to love gourmet food. When he meets a chef who suits his taste, he will pay a large sum of money to invite him back to his mansion. This is not the first time.

Mu Qingyun smiled knowingly and continued to eat buns with his head down.

After the meal, the two continued chatting while drinking tea to help digestion.

"Before, you introduced my mother-in-law's niece, the girl from the Wen family, to the legitimate son of the Wu'an Marquis family."

Mu Qingyun waved the fan and smiled faintly, "Now it has actually come true."

"Oh?" Xiao Yunxi lazily leaned back on the couch, "Did your mother-in-law make a fuss?"

"how is this possible?"

Mu Qingyun pursed her lips and said, "Don't make it too ugly."

"She insisted that my husband was unfilial, that I had a vicious mind, and that I was not virtuous and tolerant. She even threatened to ask the head of the Wen family to divorce me."

"What then?"

"I directly gave Qi Yan paper and pen and asked him to write the divorce letter on the spot."

"I told them that I would not admit any of the seven grounds for divorce without solid evidence. If they divorce me based on the seven grounds, I would file a lawsuit and ask Your Majesty to grant me justice, even at the risk of my life."

"My good mother-in-law wanted to make a scene, but Qi Yan overturned the table and said that it was impossible to divorce her. He wanted to invite the clan leader to divide the family."

"Old Madam Wen would definitely not agree to split up the family." Xiao Yunxi handed over the peeled orange, "What happened next?"

Mu Qingyun played with the little orange, with a look of regret on his face, "We didn't have a family."

She was eager to divide the family business as soon as possible.

Although the Jingning Marquis Mansion is far superior to the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, Old Madam Wen is partial to it, and Qi Yan will basically get nothing in the future.

I'm just like an old housewife, worrying about this and that.

Doing well is your duty, doing poorly is useless.

But I have to do it. If I am labeled as unfilial, who can bear it?

"Later, the prince turned cold and told my mother-in-law that either the girl from the Wen family would marry into the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, or she would never be allowed to enter the Marquis of Jingning's mansion again."

Xiao Yunxi was a little surprised that the Prince of Jingning was so tough.

Mu Qingyun smiled, "It's rare for the prince to be tough this time, and it's the confidence you gave me. He knows that because of you, Qi Yan has gotten close to Prince Dingyuan, which is equivalent to getting close to the Ningguo Mansion."

"Even if he doesn't want to, he knows that if this thing is done, he may not get any benefits."

"But if it fails, the Marquis of Jingning will definitely offend Prince Dingyuan. How can he not be afraid? How can he not be dedicated?"

Xiao Yunxi was silent for a moment, then smiled helplessly, "Power is such a good thing."

"Who said it wasn't you? You used to be a first-rank princess, your father was a duke, your mother was a princess, and your grandfather was a grandmaster."

"His status was extremely noble, but he was still sent to the Zhennan Palace and tortured for three years."

"If it weren't for King Dingyuan, you would probably be preparing to marry in the desert now."

"In the final analysis, your majesty favors Prince Dingyuan, but he is also afraid of Prince Dingyuan."

Xiao Yunxi shook her head, not wanting to continue this topic, "Let's have tea."

Chunxiao refilled their tea, and when she saw that they had finished the oranges, she brought some more.

"This tea is really good, with a sweet and mellow aftertaste."

Mu Qingyun liked the tea and immediately looked at Xiao Yunxi with sparkling eyes without saying a word.

Xiao Yunxi naturally understood her, "I have already installed it for you!"

"Thank you, Princess, for the reward!"

Xiao Yunxi squinted at Mu Qingyun and asked, "Aren't you going to kneel down and thank me?"

Mu Qingyun was so angry at this that he just pinched her where her tickle was, and the two of them immediately started to quarrel.

After a while, Chun Xiao came in and reported, "Princess, the tea and oranges have been packed and placed in the county lady's carriage."

Xiao Yunxi straightened her messy clothes and said, "I also took the small toys that my second brother asked someone to bring back. I will give them to Sister Yun's brother and sister to play with."

"The princess is so thoughtful. I am so grateful to her. I wish I could always be by her side."

Mu Qingyun's pretentious look made Xiao Yunxi roll her eyes.

"Okay, I won't tease you any more. I still have something serious to tell you."

Xiao Yunxi frowned slightly, "From the time I entered the mansion till now, the sun is almost setting, and you are just now bringing up business?"

Mu Qingyun cleared his throat and said, "I forgot about it."

Xiao Yunxi looked at her helplessly, "Tell me what's going on."

The day before yesterday, Mu Qingyun went to Linglongfang to choose jewelry and met the wife of Wu'an Marquis. She pulled her aside and whispered a few words to her.

"What did she say? Could it be that she doesn't want her son to marry a girl from the Wen family?"

“Not really, she said that Prince Duan had been to the Marquis of Wu’an’s mansion and had a long secret conversation with the old Marquis and the Marquis.

She hid outside and eavesdropped on what was going on, under the pretext of delivering tea.

It's something like a bellyband or pure white. "

Xiao Yunxi felt very strange. "Since it was a confidential conversation, there would definitely be secret guards and imperial guards guarding the door. How could she eavesdrop so easily?"

"And what can we tell from these alone?"

Mu Qingyun couldn't figure it out either. "I can't figure it out either. He kept pulling me along like a weirdo, looking around with a sneaky look in his eyes, as if he was trying to steal my jewelry."

Xiao Yunxi nodded, "Either Prince Duan and his men deliberately asked her to release the news, or she heard the news while hiding in some secret passage."

"Then I guess it's the first one."

Mu Qingyun stood up and took a few steps. "Could it be that they are discussing how to deal with you?"

Deal with her?

Why mention bellyband and innocence?

Could it be that he was trying to use some shady trick to ruin her innocence?

Mu Qingyun didn't understand, but Xiao Yunxi thought of it.

In her previous life, her bellyband was stolen and inexplicably appeared in the hands of a man, who came to her house and said he was her lover.

He also told us what birthmarks he had.

Lu Jingting didn't even give her a chance to defend herself and directly accused her of being unfaithful and unfaithful to her husband.

All the women in the Xiao family were implicated, and several cousins ​​even lost their lives.

In the Dali period, where etiquette and morality were strictly enforced, even a princess could not bear such a crime.

It seems that they are going to repeat the same old tricks in this life.

I just didn't expect that Wu'an Marquis's Mansion and Prince Duan would also get involved...
