The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

Finally, Yan Muxi was pestered and had no choice but to agree, "Okay, whatever you say."

Having achieved her goal, Gu Yuelan raised the corner of her lips, but she heard Yan Muxi say again: "I don't need the county lady to return the dowry."

"Yan~Mu~Xi~, you really want me to cry in front of you, right?"

Yan Muxi narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Go ahead, Princess, cry. If you cry well, I will stay for a while."

She was just teasing, but she didn't expect Gu Yuelan to actually cry, with tears falling like crazy.

"I don't want to get married, I don't want to enter the East Palace, I don't want to be the prince's concubine... wuwuwu..."

Seeing her crying, Yan Muxi felt very sad. He hugged the person who was crying so hard that she was out of breath, and wanted to say something to comfort her, but he didn't know where to start.

Gu Yuelan is the only direct descendant of the Dingbei Marquis Mansion. The Dingbei Marquis Mansion holds the military power in the northern border. Her background is destined to be won over by various forces.

Compared to being wooed by other princes, entering the Eastern Palace is the best choice right now. At least the crown prince is the legitimate successor to the throne, and his personality is generous and kind.

As long as the crown prince does not fall, the Gu family does not rebel, and Gu Yuelan does not commit suicide, no one can take away Gu Yuelan's honor and favor in the future.

Yan Muxi had stayed in the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion for too long, and when she arrived at the Mansion, the wedding banquet had already been set on the table.

Yan Muqing was busy taking care of the handkerchief friend who came to add dowry to her house. Yan Muxi couldn't play with the other talented girls, so she gave the dowry gift and returned to Manwei Garden.

Perhaps because of the birthmark on her face, Yan Murou was very afraid of crowded situations. Qian Manman prepared a separate banquet at Manwei Garden. In addition to the mother and daughter, several concubines and concubines in the mansion were also present.

Seeing Yan Muxi and his servants enter, everyone stood up and bowed deeply.

"Everyone, please stand up. You don't need to be polite when we are family." Yan Muxi sat down next to Qian Manman. "Everyone, sit down and continue eating. Don't be shy."

"Why did you come back so late? Mother thought you would come in the afternoon!" Qian Manman's face was full of smiles. It was more prestigious for her daughter to marry well than for herself.

Yan Muxi explained, "We spent a little too much time at Dingbei Marquis's Mansion, but luckily we made it to the banquet, so it wasn't too late!"

"It's not too late, it's never too late. Sister Xi, you are the Crown Prince's Consort of Prince Rong. You must be very busy on weekdays. You are already giving your elder sister a huge honor by coming here in person. Although we are sisters, but..."

Hearing Qian Manman's words getting more and more outrageous, Yan Muxi hurriedly interrupted, "The dishes are not even hot, and I'm still hungry. Mother, please ask the kitchen to make two more dishes!"

Yan Muruo sat down next to Yan Muxi and saw that what was on her plate was not food but baked cookies.

Yan Muxi asked curiously, "Sister Rou, why are you eating cakes during meals? Can you still eat rice like this?"

Yan Muruo lowered her head, looking like a pitiful little girl who had done something wrong.

Qian Manman said nonchalantly, "Sister Rou doesn't like to eat rice, she only likes to eat cakes. She will eat anything, so just give her what she likes!"

Yan Muxi didn’t know how to evaluate Qian Manman.

The child knows that it is wrong to eat cakes as meals, but she still indulges him. If she is allowed to indulge her children like this, even the best children will be spoiled.

Yan Muruo eats cakes as her meals and likes to eat cakes. Yan Muxi suddenly remembered something, "What kind of cakes does Sister Rou like to eat? I'll bring some over next time I come to your house."

Qian Manman waved her hand, "Why bother? Sister Rou likes to eat baked milk-flavored cookies the most, and she also likes bread of various flavors. You can just send the recipe over and make it yourself so you don't have to go out to buy it every day."

Yan Muxi refused without hesitation, "I'm afraid I can't agree to your suggestion, mother. The cake recipe is the lifeblood of the shop. If it gets leaked out, it will affect the business of the shop and that will be a big problem."

Being rejected in front of everyone, Qian Manman felt embarrassed and muttered in dissatisfaction: "It's just a prescription. Our family doesn't need this little money. As for being stingy..." Facing her daughter's warning eyes, she didn't dare to say the next words.

"No matter how delicious the cakes are, they can't be eaten as meals." Yan Muxi looked at Yan Muruo, "Sister Rou, do you remember this?"

Seeing the little girl hanging her head as if about to cry, she softened her tone a bit, "Second sister is not forbidding Roujie to eat cakes. Eating too much cakes is bad for your health. You won't grow tall and will often get sick. If Roujie really likes to eat cakes, you can eat a little every day, and you must not be picky and greedy."

Qian Manman was afraid that the child would cry, so she was about to pick up Yan Muruo to comfort her, but unexpectedly the little girl pushed the pastries on the plate aside and pointed at the food in front of her.

"Sister Rou, do you want to eat?" Qian Manman asked uncertainly. Seeing her nod, she quickly told the maid beside her, "Go to the kitchen and tell the cook to make a few more dishes."

Yan Muxi praised, "Rou Jie'er is really good. If you want to eat any cakes in the future, tell your second sister and I will send someone to deliver them to your house." After that, she looked at Qian Manman and said, "Is there anyone else in the house who likes to eat new-style cakes? I can have someone send them over as well."

Qian Manman originally wanted to say that it would be fine to send it only to Yan Muruo, and that the other illegitimate sons and daughters were not worthy of her own daughter's concern.

But on second thought, they were nothing more than some worthless pastries, so just give them as a reward, which just happened to highlight the magnanimity of these mother and daughter.

"Women all like sweet and sticky cakes. Since we have to give them away anyway, we can just give some to the women in the mansion."

Yan Muxi asked again, "Do you need to prepare a special portion for Dad?"

"No, your father doesn't like sweet food, so please don't bother preparing an extra portion."

Qian Manman is the person who knows Yan Yongchen's diet and daily life best. She said that Yan Yongchen doesn't like pastries, and Yan Yongchen must really not like it.

Yan Muxi was even more confused. If the pastries that the female witch doctor queued up to buy were not for Yan Yongchen, then who were they for?

When he lowered his eyes, he saw Yan Muruo, who was well-behaved beside him. While eating her meal, she couldn't help but glance at the plate of biscuits.

First, Yan Murou appeared, and then the witch doctor appeared. The witch doctor sent cakes to the Yan residence. It just so happened that Yan Murou liked cakes...

Yan Muxi suddenly had a bold guess that Yan Muruo's biological mother was most likely not a prostitute, but a witch doctor, and Yan Muruo was the daughter of the witch doctor and Yan Yongchen.

After the banquet, Yan Muxi did not rush back home, but stayed in Manwei Garden to play with Yan Muruo for a while.

Yan Muruo is well-behaved and sensible. She is not competitive and is not a very annoying child.

Anyway, Yan Muxi didn't notice anything wrong with the child. Either her eyesight was not good enough, or the little girl was good at hiding it.

But she felt that it was neither. Yan Murou was old enough. A five-year-old girl could hide it for a moment, but she definitely couldn't wear a mask all the time.
