The Mu family was brightly lit at night, and after dinner the women gathered together for a midnight snack.

"Oh, second sister-in-law, you must be better at managing life now that you are the housekeeper. This bird's nest is so watery, it's obviously broken bird's nest. Xue'er, take some of the bird's nest that Madam Jinglao gave you and let your second aunt try it." Jiang curled her lips.

Sun Moyu rolled her eyes in her heart. What are you showing off for? Isn't it just that the old lady gave you some bird's nests? You look like you have never seen the world.

"Thank you very much, sister-in-law. Since you don't like the bird's nests we bought at home, we won't buy them next time."

Jiang was dumbfounded after hearing this. She just complained, why wouldn't he buy it in the future?

Sun Moyu felt very happy when he saw Jiang's frustrated expression. Now I am the one in charge of the financial power of the mansion. If I am happy, I can let you eat broken bird's nests. If I am not happy, you can't even eat broken bird's nests.

Ever since Sun Moyu completely took over the power of managing the family, Jiang has been making sarcastic remarks every now and then.

Mu Yan turned a blind eye to their quarrel. It didn't matter to her who was in charge of the second or third house. She just wanted to take care of the dowry left by her mother.

As long as it doesn't involve her interests, she doesn't bother to care about other things, but the house will be lively again.

At this time, a maid ran in hurriedly to report.

"Second Madam, the Master said someone has come from the palace. Please ask the ladies and girls to come over."

Sun stood up suddenly, her brows furrowed, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Someone's coming to the palace? Is the emperor going to blame the Mu family for what happened to Mu Wan?"

Jiang was also panicked after hearing this: "It's over, it's over, our Mu family is going to be badly harmed by those two jinx mother and daughter. If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have let Liu die so easily.

She really wanted to cry but had no tears. She had just had a few good days. Madam Jing had recently been very optimistic about Xue'er and always invited her and her daughter to the Duke of England's mansion to appreciate the flowers. The master had recently heard that the higher-ups also wanted to promote her.

This… is this going to be exposed all of a sudden? Why is her life so miserable?

A hint of mockery appeared in Mu Yan's ink-stone eyes. In her previous life, when Liu Wenmei was in power, Jiang served her wholeheartedly. In this life, she did not forget to step on Liu even after her death.

The human heart is the most unbearable thing in the world.

"What's the point of guessing here? Just go over and take a look."

"Yes, yes, yes! Just go and take a look and you'll know."

Everyone agreed, and the next second everyone stood up and headed for the front hall, fearing that they would be too slow.

Mu Yan walked calmly at the end, and Mu Xue followed beside her without any hurry, still wearing a graceful white dress, and said gently: "Big sister, I will also ask the maid to send some bird's nest to your courtyard. Snow bird's nest is the best for beauty and skin care, and it also helps sleep."

Mu Yan nodded.

"Thank you."

"Big sister, aren't you panicking?"

"Don't panic."

The most important witness in this case, the man in black, is dead, and apart from the tattoo, there is no evidence to prove that he is related to the Dongfan royal family.

Even if he really was a guard of the Eastern Frontier, how could Mu Wan, a little girl who had never even left the capital, be associated with the Eastern Frontier? At most, she was just stupid and was being used by others.

The emperor would not implicate the entire Mu family because of a concubine's daughter. At most, he would reprimand Mu Jun for his daughter's teaching. Therefore, she was not panicked at all.

"Are you panicking?"

Mu Yan asked back.

Mu Xue smiled calmly, "If Big Sister doesn't panic, I won't panic either."

These words really surprised Mu Yan. Only then did she notice that Mu Xue, who had always been cautious, inferior and cowardly, could now be so calm. Although she still had a smile on her face, her eyes were extremely cold and hard to read.

As soon as Mu Yan stepped into the front hall, the eunuch in charge instantly smiled when he saw her.

"Princess Pingting!"

Isn’t this the eunuch Xia who serves the Queen?

It turned out that it was not someone sent by the emperor, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's said outside that the princess's face looked like a fairy after it was restored. I thought it was a fire in the brick kiln - a rumor (kiln smoke), but I didn't expect it to be true."

Mu Yan smiled and said, "Thank you for your compliment, Master. I wonder why you came here this time?"

"Ever since Her Majesty met the Princess at the last Hundred Flowers Banquet, she has liked her very much. Recently, Her Majesty got some clothes, jewelry, and headgear, and she thought the Princess would like them, so she specially sent a servant to come here in person to give them to the Princess."

After saying this, the young eunuch behind him presented the reward items. They were all top-quality goods, each worth a thousand gold.

Everyone was surprised when they saw these gifts.

The others were fine as they had all seen the world and even though they were shocked inside they remained calm on the surface. But the third wife and her husband came from a small place after all and their eyes turned green when they saw so many treasures.

Mu Yan knelt down to express her gratitude, following the correct etiquette, "Thank you very much, Queen, for your kindness."

He immediately gave Shi Ying a wink, and Shi Ying took out a bulging bag of silver from her arms and stuffed it into Eunuch Xia's pocket.

Eunuch Xia weighed the gift and his smile became more sincere, but he still refused it before accepting it.

"Thank you, my lady, for your reward. I will take my leave now."

After saying this, he signaled the young eunuch to put down the reward and led his men away from the Mu Mansion.
