Seeing her pursing her lips for a long time without saying anything, Yan Muxi reminded her in a low voice, "Big sister, have you thought it through?"

Yan Muqing clenched his fists and took several deep breaths, but he still couldn't suppress his turbulent emotions.

In his previous life, my cousin never married. When the Crown Prince began to show signs of defeat, he was stabbed by his political enemies and died alone.

With my cousin's family background and talent, he should have been a trusted official in the government, but at the end of his life he ended up being a lackey of a traitor.

After trying again, she still couldn't change her cousin's fate of being disfigured.

What happens next? Can she really turn the gears of fate and change what's about to happen?

But even if change is difficult, she has to try again! Otherwise, what is the point of her rebirth?

The second sister came to find her today, and it was obvious that she still wanted to marry her cousin like in her previous life.

In the past, the second sister was definitely not worthy of her cousin, but now her cousin is no longer the same person he was before, and their statuses are now compatible.

If the two of them can really get together, it would be better for my cousin to have someone to accompany him than to be alone all his life.

For the second sister, it is a good opportunity to change her tragic fate.

In her previous life, the second sister married Qian's cousin as she wished, but after only one year, the two ended their marriage by divorce.

The second sister was killed by bandits on her way back to Luodu. She was just twenty years old when she died.

But even though the marriage between the Yan and Su families would benefit both of them, she still couldn't accept that her cousin married her second sister, and her cousin should be extremely unwilling as well.

Never mind. There is still time. It won’t be too late to make a decision after she figures it out.

"I have nothing to say to my cousin Huachang, so please don't worry about me, second sister!"

Yan Muxi thought for a moment after hearing this, "Is that so? Then I'll go back and see my cousin Huachang and let Big Sister say hello to him!"

Yan Muqing was stunned.

This girl is still going to meet her cousin Huachang? She is shameless enough to meet a man from another prefecture under her name?

That's right, when would her second sister ever want to save face? She politely refused again, "Cousin Huachang has hurt his face, and he may not want to see outsiders now."

Yan Muxi pretended not to understand, curved her eyes and smiled innocently, "It doesn't matter, everything depends on human effort! How can you know if you can see it if you don't try? If you feel embarrassed, you can write down what you want to say, and I will just hand it over, and I will make sure I won't peek."

Yan Muqing was so angry that she laughed. Not only did he want to use her name, but he also wanted another guarantee. Who did he think she, Yan Muqing, was? Was he trying to climb the ladder?

The scene of her second sister meeting her cousin in her dream flashed through her mind, and she suddenly felt relieved. She thought why not help her second sister!

My cousin is now seriously injured both physically and mentally, and is at his most depressed. With the admiration and comfort of his second sister, he may be able to resolve his heart knot in advance.

After she figured it out, she asked Lan Shuang to bring her a pen and paper, and hurriedly wrote down a few words of comfort. She then made sure that the words were correct before giving the note to Yan Muxi.

Yan Muxi came to Yaqingyuan today just to give it a try, but she didn't expect it to really work. She took the note with smiling eyes and put it into her purse in front of Yan Muqing.

"Don't worry, big sister. I will definitely fulfill my mission and hand the note to my cousin Huachang."

Yan Muqing was upset and didn't want to pay attention to her. She waved her hand tiredly and said, "I'm really tired. I won't keep you, second sister. Please do as you please!"

"Okay, I'll come to see big sister another day." Yan Muxi stood up and jumped out of the house with light steps.

She was in a great mood after the great victory!

Yan Muqing is such a smart person that she must have seen through her intentions towards Su Huachang, and being willing to let her help pass the note was tantamount to approving her actions.

If the first step in choosing a future husband goes so smoothly, then everything will surely go smoothly afterwards.

On the way back to the East Courtyard, I happened to meet Qian Haochuan who was going to the old lady's courtyard to pay New Year's greetings.

Yan Muxi trotted a few steps to catch up with him, "Cousin, why didn't you send someone to my yard to tell me after you passed by?"

Qian Haochuan hurriedly explained, "I thought you should be in the old lady's courtyard right now, so I didn't send anyone to go."

The two walked forward while talking. After a few words of idle chat, Qian Haochuan asked in a low voice, "Has Xixi thought about the matter in the letter?"

Yan Muxi lowered her eyes to look at the tip of her shoes swaying under her skirt and said, "Cousin, please give me some more time. I'll think about it carefully." There was a hint of coquettishness in her tone.

Qian Haochuan smiled dotingly, "Don't worry, think about it slowly. As long as you are willing, you don't have to worry about anything. Grandfather and I will take care of everything."

Yan Muxi also smiled at him and nodded obediently, "Okay."

She had a happy smile on her face, but she felt very sad in her heart. Cousin Haochuan was eight years older than her, and would be twenty-five after the New Year.

When she was nine years old, she was carried on her cousin's back and returned to Jiangnan at full speed. Later, he was carefully cared for for several years. She regarded her cousin as her own brother and it was impossible for her to develop any other feelings for him in this life.

When they first met, she was still a young girl, but her cousin was already a handsome young man. It would probably be difficult for him to develop feelings for a girl he had raised.

She doesn't care if the two of them can get together, as long as they can live comfortably, it doesn't matter whether they love each other or not. But it would be too unfair to her cousin.

Because of her, my cousin lost the possibility of marrying the woman he loved in his life.

As long as there was a better option, she would not want to marry back into the Qian family, so as for Su Huachang, she had to give it a try even if it meant risking her dignity.

The next day, Yan Muxi followed Su to visit relatives at the Su Mansion.

The old house of the Su family is located in Shuanggui Lane in the center of the northern city, more than ten miles away from the Yan family. The speed of horse-drawn carriages in the city is slow, and it took more than half an hour to travel more than ten miles.

The group first went to the main courtyard to pay their respects to Old Tutor Su and Old Madam Su. Probably because of Su Huachang, the New Year atmosphere in the Su family was not very lively.

After receiving New Year gifts from the younger generations, Old Tutor Su called his disciples and son-in-law to the study in the front yard.

Old Madam Su distributed New Year gifts to all the young people who came to visit her. Not long after, she was helped by the maids and servants to go to the inner room to rest.

Su gave a few instructions to Yan Muxi and others, then followed Old Madam Su into the inner room.

Several young masters of the Yan family were classmates with the young masters of the same age of the Su family. They soon left in twos and threes, leaving only a few female relatives and maids in the hall.

The Su family's first wife has no daughter, so the eldest daughter of the second wife, Su Yumo, is responsible for entertaining Yan Muxi and her sisters.

Su Yumo is of average appearance, but she has a light and elegant scent of books, which makes people feel very comfortable.

She and Yan Muqing are of the same age and grew up together, so they have a very good relationship as sisters.

After chatting for a while, Su Yumo asked about Yan Muqing's condition. "Since it's not convenient to go out to visit during the New Year, is cousin Muqing's condition getting better?"

Yan Mujun was about to reply when Yan Muxi spoke first, "Better now, but you still need to stay in bed for the time being."

Su Yumo was filled with worry when she heard this. "She still can't get up? My cousin has always been healthy, but she is so seriously ill this time! Please tell my cousin when you get home, and tell her to relax and take good care of herself. I will visit her some other day when I have time."

Glancing at Yan Muyun who was staring at him like a thief, Yan Muxi couldn't say what he wanted to say directly, so he could only think of another way.

"It's a bit stuffy in the room, cousin, can you take me to the garden at the back to get some fresh air?"
