When Yuan Tangzhong saw Yuan Zhe giving him a look, he lowered his voice and said, "This woman will be useful in the future!"
Yuan Tangzhong knew that Yuan Zhe had been secretly contacting the father and son of the Mu Family. Although he was usually dissatisfied with this son, he still chose to stand by his side at this time.
"Mother, if that's the case, then let Qinger announce her identity as Ruoxin. If there's a suitable marriage in the future, she'll be treated the same as Yuan Ran and Yuan Tian, okay?"
When Yuan Tangzhong finished speaking, Old Mistress nodded. "You're right. Of course, my Qinger won't be mistreated when it comes to marriage!"
Qinger's gaze fell on Yuan Xuan when she mentioned marriage …
Mu Chenyan's mind flashed with the sharp look in Old Mistress' eyes. She called her a vixen and treated Qinger as "my Qinger" …
It did not matter. Mu Chenyan did not care.
Yuan Tian stuck out her tongue when she heard this. "Wow! Second Uncle is so nice. I thought I was different from Yuan Ran! "
Yuan Tangzhong was speechless.
"Ouch! Mother, why did you pinch me again? "Yuan Tian's eyes were filled with tears.
Lu Shan scolded in a low voice, "You should go for a paternity test tomorrow! How did I give birth to a daughter like you? If it's really a free gift from phone charging, I'll ask the mobile company if I can get a refund. "
Yuan Tian made a funny face when someone like Lu Shan was forced to use dry humor. She turned around and asked Old Mistress with a smile, "Grandmother, can we start eating?"
Old Mistress glared at her and said softly, "Eat! Leave these things to Xuan! "
Yuan Xuan's hand gripped Mu Chenyan tightly under the table. He exerted force as if he was affirming something.
Chenyan was stunned. From the side, Yuan Xuan's nose was straight, and his gaze was calm and natural. This elegant and handsome man was not the least bit ashamed of his actions under the table.
In summer, her hands were always covered in a layer of cold sweat, but Yuan Xuan's were warm and dry as usual. Mu Chenyan's palms were covered in a layer of sweat when he held her tightly.
She did not dodge, nor did she resist the strength of his hand.
She even responded softly.
This was because for a moment, Mu Chenyan suddenly had a feeling that Yuan Xuan's life in the Yuan Family, where danger lurked in every corner and people's hearts were unpredictable.
Regardless of the reason Yuan Tangbai had left all those years ago, Yuan Xuan had been living here ever since Jiao Shuzhen's death. The only person he could rely on was his grandmother.
Yuan Xuan was not a person who would easily reveal his emotions. Perhaps this was related to his childhood experiences, which made him different from Mu Chenyan.
Mu Chenyan had grown up in Xi Fan. The vast, open space there allowed Mu Chenyan to live a carefree and spotless life before she was ten years old.
That was why she had liked Yuan Xuan since she was very young and had openly expressed her thoughts.
On the other hand, Yuan Xuan was the exact opposite. Whether it was love or hate, he was always so reserved. Even if there was any unhappiness in his heart, he would still look calm on the surface.
This was how he treated Qinger, how he treated the Old Mistress, how he treated his enemies, and how he treated Mu Chenyan. He had too much love for her that he had never expressed.
Mu Chenyan's heart was initially stifled when she heard the conversation between Mu Chenwu and Feng Rao. Now that she had calmed down, she was not as conflicted and excited as when she first came back from the cemetery.
After experiencing such a long period of tempering, Mu Chenyan seemed to have found a psychological balance for herself. She secretly thought that the truth would come to light one day. She was not in a hurry to fall out with Yuan Xuan and fall apart.
The dinner ended.
Mu Chenyan grabbed Yuan Tian at the entrance of the Upper Mansion and asked in a low voice, "Where did you go yesterday?"
Yuan Tian's face was gloomy. She shook her head and said, "Nothing much. I was just taken away by a pig! It's over! "
Mu Chenyan was still a little worried. Lu Shan could not tell, but Mu Chenyan still understood Yuan Tian. She had never worn high-collared clothes in the past, but today, she was wrapped up like a dumpling even though it was so hot …
"My brother knows where I went!"
Yuan Tian recalled that the mysterious man had mentioned Yuan Xuan when he sent her back. "Tell Third Young Master Yuan that I've returned to him in one piece, but I'll take what's mine sooner or later!"
Mu Chenyan knew very well that she would not be able to get anything out of Yuan Xuan.
There was a man-made lake to the north of Hibiscus Garden. It was already summer, and the white lotuses cultivated in the lake were in full bloom.
Mu Chenyan felt a little full, so she might as well take a walk there.
The area of the man-made lake was not big. The bays were deep and shallow. When Mu Chenyan was young, she often came here to play with Yuan Tian. During summer, they would even catch loaches in the shallow mud.
At that time, she was already over ten years old. Her hair was tied in a small braid, and her trousers were rolled up. She would command Yuan Tian to chase and intercept the loaches …
Mu Chenyan walked around the man-made lake, enjoying the peace and reminiscing about the carefree times when she was young.
The summer breeze was gentle, and the bays were much cooler and more pleasant than other places.
Mu Chenyan's heart was filled with nostalgia for the good times of the past. She even imagined that if she could relive her life and choose a different life, would the Yuan Family Mansion still be the place where she stayed?
"Mu Chenyan?"
The woman's voice carried a hint of coldness through the warm summer breeze.
Mu Chenyan turned around and saw Shu Qinger following behind her. Her eyes were cold.
"What's the matter?"
The haze in Mu Chenyan's heart that had just dissipated was blocked again.
She did not want to make eye contact with Shu Qinger. She was helpless and could only give her the cold shoulder.
"Are you satisfied with my performance tonight?"
Shu Qinger smiled faintly, her small face enchanting.
"In the Yuan Family, as long as Old Mistress agrees, I'll have a firm foothold. Even if Brother Xuan regrets and wants to send me away, Old Mistress won't allow it, and he can't do anything to me!
"As long as I stay in the Yuan Family, I'll get what's mine back sooner or later, don't you think so?"
She was showing off again!
Mu Chenyan's heart was filled with suffocation. Why were you everywhere? It would be a pity not to be an actress if you stole the limelight!
"Qinger, I remember that you're quite educated too?"
Mu Chenyan ignored Shu Qinger's smugness and said something that had nothing to do with the current topic.
Shu Qinger was stunned and did not quite understand.
"If that's the case, I don't understand why you played such a good hand. Your entire life's energy was spent on snatching men from others? "
Mu Chenyan did not hold back and retorted.
Shu Qinger reacted only then. Her expression immediately changed, but the anger in her eyes did not diminish. "Mu Chenyan, do you think that my situation today has nothing to do with you?"
Mu Chenyan said coldly, "At least I didn't directly harm you! Moreover, if you're not satisfied, the person who should be questioning is Yuan Xuan, not me! "
Mu Chenyan had a good upbringing since she was young. Although she had a wild temperament since young and suddenly became cold when she grew up, she was not a mean person. She was also a little surprised that she could treat Shu Qinger like this.
Shu Qinger was rendered speechless. She flew into a rage out of humiliation and wished that she could tear Mu Chenyan apart with her bare hands. "Although you didn't directly harm me, if it wasn't for you, wouldn't I be the one sitting next to Yuan Xuan today?" She wanted to chat with more like-minded people.
