"Cousin Muqing...what are you thinking about?" Su Yumo waved a handkerchief in front of Yan Muqing's eyes.

Yan Muqing suddenly came back to her senses, "No, I wasn't thinking about anything! Where were you talking about? Continue."

Su Yumo stopped laughing and said, "Are you tired? If you are tired, just move to the bed and lie down for a while!"

Yan Muqing smiled at everyone to comfort them, "I'm not tired. I've been bored for more than ten days. I finally have a chance to join in the fun. You guys continue chatting! By the way, second sister, I heard that the cousin of the Qian family is still in Luodu City. He travels to many places for business. Does he have any small toys that our girls like?"

Yan Muxi didn't know why Yan Muqing suddenly asked about cousin Haochuan, and said vaguely: "I only saw my cousin twice before and after the New Year, and we didn't say a few words each time. When I see my cousin again, I will ask him for my elder sister."

Even though she concealed it well, Yan Muqing still noticed that her eyes softened a little when she mentioned Qian Haochuan.

Several people stayed in Yaqing Garden for lunch. After lunch, they sat for a while. Then Su Yumo said goodbye and returned home.

After the sisters had dispersed, Su came to Yaqingyuan and asked, "You've been making a fuss for a while, are you still holding on?"

Yan Muqing pulled her to sit down beside the low couch, "Don't worry, mother, I'm fine now! I've been staying in the room these days and not paying attention to what's going on outside. I just heard that my second sister is looking for a marriage partner recently. Are you serious?"

"It is true. Your father originally planned to marry his most outstanding disciple to your second sister. Unexpectedly, the girl from that family came to the mansion yesterday and made a scene. No matter how good the young master of the Yun family is, I'm afraid this marriage will not happen! A girl's reputation is important. It's enough for you to know about this matter, and don't mention it in front of others." Su did not forget to explain.

"My daughter knows the importance of this matter!" Yan Muqing agreed and then asked, "Father, why are you so anxious to find a marriage for my second sister? Seeing that the old minister is about to retire, if your official position can be promoted, wouldn't my second sister's marriage be..."

Su interrupted hurriedly, "Stop talking nonsense!"

Feeling that something was wrong, he lowered his voice again, "Your father has only been in the Ministry of Personnel for two years, and he is not qualified to compete for the position of Shangshu, and your grandfather does not allow it. When your father was transferred back to Luodu, your grandfather strongly opposed it... Although your father's surname is not Su, he is half a son-in-law. In the eyes of outsiders, the Yan family is a branch of the Su family tree. The Su family tree is already big enough with tangled roots, and it cannot be allowed to grow wildly..."

The Su family never limited their daughter's education to reading and writing, because a good mistress's vision should not be limited to the rear house. Only by understanding the trends in the court can she truly become a good helper to her husband.

In private, Su would also talk to Yan Mucheng about the conflicts of interest in the family and the court. She hoped that her daughter could become a lady from a noble family with a broad vision and a broad mind, rather than a short-sighted woman who only knew how to be jealous.

After hearing Su's words, Yan Muqing's speculation almost became an ironclad fact.

If she remembered correctly, in her previous life, her father left Luodu after the Lantern Festival to go on business trips to other places. After returning, he not only accepted the Qian family's marriage proposal, but also entered the palace for several consecutive days.

Her father’s promotion has nothing to do with the Su family, and has nothing to do with whether she becomes the Crown Princess. The real driving force behind the scenes may be the Qian family.

My father's position as Shangshu was probably obtained in exchange for my second sister's marriage.

If the second sister was engaged to the cousin from the Qian family, then everything in this life should be exactly the same as in the previous life.

The second sister would divorce after one year of marriage and die at the age of twenty.

Therefore, she had to stop the marriage between Yan and Qian at all costs.

After dinner, Yan Muyun came to Yaqingyuan as usual to check Ya Muqing's pulse.

"Big sister is almost recovered now. You can stop taking the medicine after taking one more dose. After that, just relax and rest."

Receiving Yan Muqing's look, Lan Shuang took out a red lacquer box and handed it to Yan Muyun.

Yan Muyun took the box and opened it, and saw that it contained a complete set of red gold and red jade jewelry. The jade inlaid on the gold hairpin was as big as a pigeon egg, and it was obvious that it was worth a lot of money.

"What is Big Sister doing? Are sisters planning to follow the example of outsiders and pay high medical fees?"

"Third sister, you misunderstood! It is precisely because we are sisters that we should not care too much. Although the eldest sister is not as wealthy as the second sister, she is not short of these gold and silver hairpins and rings. These are given to you, so just accept them!" Yan Muqing explained carefully.

Yan Muyun returned the box to Lan Shuang and said, "This jewelry is too valuable. Even if we are sisters, I can't accept it. Big sister, please take it back!"

Yan Muqing took the jewelry box and put it back into her hands, pretending to be angry, "Everyone says I don't lack gold and silver hairpins and rings, and this set of red jade head ornaments is of little use. Third sister, you are short of money and don't have a decent piece of jewelry. What's the point of accepting this gift from your elder sister? Do you have to push it away and be estranged from me?"

Yan Mujun was stunned and didn't say anything. Yan Muqing thought she agreed to accept it, but unexpectedly Yan Mujun suddenly stood up and put the jewelry box heavily on the square table beside her with a "clang".

Yan Muqing and the maid who was serving her were caught off guard and shivered with fear. Then they looked at Yan Muyun with puzzled expressions.

Yan Muyun hugged her arms, her eyes full of solemnity, "Yan Muqing, you don't have to tempt me to bribe me, just tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"

Yan Muqing's eyes blinked and blinked, and then his sick face suddenly turned red.

She knew that her third sister's temperament had changed drastically, but she didn't expect her to become so fierce. The way she spoke and acted was even more straightforward than that of a crude warrior.

"Ahem!" She coughed lightly and waved her hand to ask the servants in the room to leave.

When there were only two people left in the room, Yan Muqing stopped beating around the bush and said, "Second sister cannot marry Qian's cousin. I want third sister to help me ruin their marriage."

Yan Muyun was puzzled. "Isn't the second child discussing marriage with the Yun family? When will he marry the cousin from the Qian family?"

The second one? Yan Muqing pondered for a while before realizing that the second one she was talking about was Yan Muxi.

Oh my God! What kind of monster took over the third sister's body? It's so vulgar, so vulgar!

But no matter what was living in the third sister's body, her third sister would never come back.

Because this monster had a good life in her previous life. She was loved by her husband, protected by her admirers, and lived a rich and comfortable life. She was the one who lived the best life among her sisters.

"My second sister's marriage with the Yun family will not be successful, so she will soon discuss marriage with her cousin from the Qian family."

"How do you know?" Yan Mujun asked, crossing his arms.

Seeing that she was determined to get to the bottom of it, Yan Muqing had no choice but to make up an excuse, "Third sister might not believe it. I had a dream a few days ago. I dreamed that not only would my second sister marry Qian's cousin, but she would also be killed by bandits when she returned home after a year of marriage."
