After lunch, Mo Zhaohua and Mu Xueyan went to the main hall.

Amber had already asked the kitchen to prepare some snacks, and Pearl brought up the freshly brewed tea.

Mo Zhaohua didn't need to wait on them and sent them to eat. "Xue'er, has Young Master Xiao behaved abnormally recently?"

Mu Xueyan's eyes darkened. "No, he is still the same as before, concentrating on teaching Xueer kung fu and chess."

Ever since she decided to put on a show for Xiao Yan and take the opportunity to find out his background, she was always worried about being discovered to be abnormal whenever she was with him.

Mo Zhaohua was also worried about this. "Can Xue'er still be as natural as before when facing him? Without being noticed?"

"It should be quite natural." Mu Xueyan was somewhat confident, "Xue'er's admiration for him is getting stronger, so it will be harder to be discovered."

She couldn't be the same as before, so she pretended to be affectionate in order to mislead Xiao Yan into thinking that she was really bewitched by him.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xue'er. You have to act so hard for us." If she hadn't insisted, Mo Zhaohua would not have been willing to do this.

Mu Xueyan curled her lips and said, "Sister-in-law doesn't really treat Xue'er as a family member, otherwise she wouldn't say such a thing."

"It's my fault. I'm sorry." Mo Zhaohua apologized repeatedly, "We are a family, so this is not for me and my husband."

Mu Xueyan said solemnly, "Yes, it was Xue'er who let the wolf into the house and brought trouble to Brother Yuwang and Sister-in-law."

Mo Zhaohua said seriously: "But he was close to Xue'er because of her husband, so you and I should stop saying these things in the future."

Mu Xueyan smiled and nodded, "Okay, we are one family and we should keep our differences."

Mo Zhaohua felt sorry for her, "Xue'er, no matter when, if you feel it's difficult, you must tell us in time."

Mu Xueyan smiled sincerely, "Okay, Xue'er will remember this, but please don't worry, sister-in-law, I don't have this feeling yet."

Mo Zhaohua then changed the subject, "It's spring now, and Xue'er should make new clothes. Do you have any styles you like?"

"Ah? Making clothes again?" Mu Xueyan was afraid of waste. "Xue'er already has too many clothes to wear. Why don't you make more?"

Mo Zhaohua said: "Girls don't have many clothes. Even the maids in the mansion have several new clothes every year."

Mu Xueyan was a little embarrassed, "Sister-in-law, do you really treat Xue'er as a lady? But Xue'er is just an orphan."

Mo Zhaohua never cared about her background. "I am also your Highness's adopted sister, and I am the legitimate lady of the mansion."

Mu Xueyan's mouth became sweeter and sweeter, "That's also because of sister-in-law's kindness. Xue'er can be treated like this. Xue'er will completely let sister-in-law make the decision."

Mo Zhaohua was very pleased, "Okay, then I'll choose some styles first, and then Xue'er can come over and make them if she likes them."

Mu Xueyan thanked with a smile, "Okay, Xue'er thanks sister-in-law."

***

Mo Mansion, also known as Mo Tao's residence.

This morning, a matchmaker suddenly came to the door to propose a marriage for Fang Tianming.

Originally Fang Jin was still hesitant and wanted to find a woman with a better family background for Fang Tianming.

After learning about Chu Xuanchi's position at court that day, he asked Sun to take care of the matter when he returned home in the evening.

Now that Chu Xuanchi has such real power, there must be a lot of people trying to curry favor with him, and Mo Shuhua is one of them.

Mo Zhaohua has only one half sister, and his closest relative is his cousin. With this relationship, why would he worry about not being able to marry Prince Yu?

Sun had been waiting for this day, and the next morning she asked a matchmaker to come to her house and tell her about Fang Tianming's situation and requirements.

After returning home, the matchmaker first inquired about the situation of the Mo family. After breakfast today, she came to propose marriage for Fang Tianming.

At this time, she had just met Mo Shuhua's mother, Xue. Having seen many dignitaries, she looked down on Xue from the bottom of her heart.

It was just that Sun intended to marry into the Mo family, and it was not her turn to look down on her. She still had to smile and call her Madam Mo.

Xue had heard from Mo Shuhua years ago that Mo Zhaohua intended to match her with the second son of the Fang family.

Fang Tianming had a good family background. Although he failed to enter the Imperial College, at least he had achieved honors. Xue was very satisfied with him.

However, for matters like marriage proposal, only the man can come to propose, so no matter how anxious she was, she could only wait for news at home.

Seeing that the Spring Examination was approaching and there was no movement from the Fang family, she even advised Mo Shuhua to go to the Prince Yu's Mansion to test Mo Zhaohua's attitude.

As a girl in the boudoir, Mo Shuhua was embarrassed and was even stopped from going, which is why it has been delayed until now.

Today, the matchmaker finally came to discuss marriage. Xue was very happy. She asked the maid to serve the best tea and started talking to the matchmaker.

The matchmaker praised Fang Tianming and said, "Madam Mo, I have been a matchmaker for many years and have seen a lot, but this is the first time I have encountered such a good thing."

Xue knew that she was exaggerating, but she was still happy to hear it, "Yes, yes, yes, in terms of family background, it is true that our Shuhua is marrying up."

The matchmaker said some polite words, and then asked, "What do you think of this marriage, Madam Mo?"

Xue refused, "We have to discuss this with the master. The family is too high-class, and we are afraid that our daughter will be wronged if she marries him."

The matchmaker shook her head, "That's not the case. Since Madam Fang has chosen Miss Mo, she must have something special."

"It's not that she's outstanding, but she benefited from her uncle's family. Both of her cousins ​​became concubines in the prince's mansion."

Xue was deliberately making trouble and brought out Mo Zhaohua and Mo Yaohua to support the situation.

The matchmaker smiled and said, "Madam Mo, don't worry. With the princess and concubine here, how dare the Fang family wrong the young lady?"

Xue said, "The master has not yet been dismissed from his post, and as a woman I cannot make the decision. How about I give you a reply tomorrow?"

Marriage is a major event, and it is up to the parents and the matchmaker to decide. Xue's words alone may not necessarily count, and the man of the house still has to agree.

The matchmaker should wait, "Okay, wait for Lord Mo to return from the yamen, and Madam will discuss it with him. This is indeed a good match."

"I will give you an answer tomorrow at the latest." Xue's request was just a formality, because Mo Tao would definitely agree.

The matchmaker chatted with Xue for a few more words, and after seeing Mo Shuhua in person, she left the Mo Mansion with her new apprentice.

After leaving the Mo residence, the matchmaker muttered, "I was wondering why the Fang family would be interested in Miss Mo. It turns out they were after the two princesses."

The disciple corrected him on the spot, "Master, there are not two princesses, but one, and the other is a concubine. We can't confuse them."

The matchmaker glared at her angrily, with a bit of a fierce look on her face, "You are so strict, yet you are teaching me to be a teacher."

"Isn't this what Master taught me?" The apprentice was not afraid. "I can apply what I have learned right away, which shows that Master taught me well."

"Stop talking nonsense." The matchmaker was a little worried. "I wonder if the Mo family is too greedy and looks down on the Fang family."

"Not really, right? A lady from a fifth-rank official's family marrying a third-rank assistant minister's son is already marrying up high."

The matchmaker sighed, "It's hard to say. After all, the Mo family is very powerful, and the concubine's daughter can enter the palace as a concubine."
