The Spring Festival was approaching. The entire Yuan Family was decorated with lanterns and colored banners. The entire mansion was immersed in the joy of the festival.
Since this was the first Spring Festival that Mu Chenyan celebrated after marrying into the Yuan Family, Yuan Xuan was especially attentive. He finished handling the company's matters two days in advance. He personally instructed the servants in the Yuan Family Mansion to refurbish Hibiscus Garden and Upper Mansion.
After the 23rd of the lunar calendar, Yuan Tangbai's former subordinates, old friends, and former supporters all came to visit.
Some of these people were already in high positions in the military and politics, some were in the business world, and some had retired from the martial arts world. Whether it was in literature, politics, or business, they were all well-known figures. They usually did not show their strength, but at this time, it was still possible to see that Yuan Xuan had a strong support group behind him.
This kind of extravagance could not be replaced by others. As Yuan Tangbai's only descendant, Yuan Xuan had to come forward to receive them.
The various regiments, aristocratic families, and military sent congratulatory gifts to Old Mistress, and Yuan Xuan returned each and every one of them to thank them. At this time, it was also possible to see the economic and social strength of this century-old family.
Mu Chenyan saw this and slowly understood the reason why her father did not choose to fight to the death with the Yuan Family at the last moment.
Just like Mu Chenwu had said, behind this kind of powerful network, a slight move would affect the whole body. She was afraid that before her complaint could reach Capital City, they would already be killed by someone else.
…
People came from all over to congratulate her. Mu Chenyan, who was supposed to accompany the Mistress, asked Yuan Xuan for leave.
Firstly, the negative impact of Shu Qinger's old case from two years ago was still there, so she did not want to meet guests. Secondly, Mu Chenyan knew that the Old Mistress was annoyed to see her, so her not coming to Upper Mansion seemed to be in line with the Old Mistress' wishes.
Yuan Xuan received guests at Upper Mansion, and the Old Mistress brought Zhao Ruoxin along to accompany her every day. Mu Chenyan did not come, so she had the opportunity to go out with Yuan Xuan.
This made Ruoxin very proud. She wandered around Hibiscus Garden many times, seemingly looking for a chance to show off to Mu Chenyan.
In Zhao Ruoxin's mind, things like accompanying Yuan Xuan and accepting the congratulations of the guests from the outside world every day were done by her. Mu Chenyan, on the other hand, was hiding far away from them. This already proved that the Yuan Family seemed to have acknowledged her existence in front of the outsiders.
Although Yuan Xuan maintained a distance and was polite to her, it could not stop her self-satisfied state from spreading.
Because she had something on her mind, Mu Chenyan did not want to be entangled with Zhao Ruoxin. She could not wait to avoid Zhao Ruoxin.
The more Mu Chenyan behaved like this, the more Zhao Ruoxin felt that Mu Chenyan had taken the initiative to avoid her because she was afraid of her. Therefore, this woman became even more arrogant. She even fawned over Yuan Xuan in public and in secret.
"Mu Chenyan, didn't you say that you were going to tear a white lotus with your bare hands?" Yuan Tian's reaction was even more intense than Mu Chenyan's!
Ever since Mu Chenyan's return, a forbidden place like Hibiscus Garden had become Yuan Tian's playground. Every now and then, she would place her feet on the table and eat the various pastries that Ah Fu had personally made. Yuan Tian was so happy that she could not even find her bearings.
"Why would I do that?" Mu Chenyan was unconcerned. "After all, treating the other party as an opponent is also a form of caring! Why would I fight with Zhao Ruoxin? "
Yuan Tian clearly did not quite understand Mu Chenyan's reasoning. "Zhao Ruoxin doesn't need to be called Ruoxin anymore. She's Sima Zhao's Heart. Don't you care how much reassurance Yuan Xuan gave you?"
As she spoke, Yuan Tian pinched Mu Chenyan's cheek. "Are you still dreaming?"
Mu Chenyan smiled. "Zhao Ruoxin and I are just pitiful people who depend on others. She used her sister's name to live in the Yuan Family, but she's not Shu Qinger. Even if Yuan Xuan had feelings for her back then, it was Qinger. Why would I be unjustly jealous of Ruoxin?"
Yuan Tian was speechless.
"If Yuan Xuan was that kind of fickle person, he wouldn't have not had a woman by his side for the past two years." After Mu Chenyan finished speaking, a trace of astonishment appeared in her eyes.
At a time like this, did she subconsciously trust Yuan Xuan so much?
