Hearing this, Mu Shaochen's breathing stagnated.

However, in order to prevent Xu Zhimiao from noticing anything unusual, he had to suppress it.

Then he pretended to turn over in his sleep and lay on his side with his back to her.

The moment he opened his eyes, his gentle eyes turned cold and silent.

He was waiting for Xu Zhimiao's "soliloquy", but he didn't get the answer he wanted.

Turning around, I saw Xu Zhimiao sitting at a table not far away, eating the fruits on the table with relish.

I saw him turn around and our eyes met.

Xu Zhimiao quickly suppressed his boldness in eating the apple and took small bites, chewing slowly.

After swallowing it, she looked at him cautiously, lowered her head, and said in a very soft voice, "I... I'm sorry, I'm really too hungry."

[You don't let me eat it, so I can only eat apples. ]

Mu Shaochen smiled calmly, "It's okay, you don't have to be so reserved, just be yourself."

Xu Zhimiao: “……!”

The next day

As a new bride, I have to serve tea to my elders.

There are three rooms in Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion.

The eldest son of the old marquis, the current Marquis of Dingyuan, Mu Changlin, has a wife and two sons and one daughter.

Live in the east courtyard.

Mu Shaochen is the eldest son of the eldest house, but not the eldest grandson of Dingyuan Marquis.

The second wife, Murong Erjin, is the second son of the old marquis. He has two daughters and one son and lives in the west courtyard.

The first son was the eldest grandson of the Marquisate, Mu Yiwen, who married on the same day as Mu Shaochen.

The third wife was born out of wedlock and had no children yet, so she lived in the north courtyard.

When Xu Zhimiao and Mu Shaochen arrived at the old lady's Qing'an Residence, all the elders had already arrived except for the third wife who was on a post outside.

But Mu Yiwen and Xu Panyue, who were also newlyweds, did not arrive.

Everyone was shocked when they saw Xu Zhimiao coming with Mu Shaochen.

"This this……"

Madam Xi looked straight at Xu Zhimiao, then at Mu Shaochen, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

The others were also at a loss for a moment.

“Oh my God! What’s going on?!” Second Madam Han stood up suddenly and looked at Mu Shaochen in horror, “Shaochen, you… why… why are you talking to Zhimiao… what… what is going on?”

[Tsk! What's going on? You're pretending really well! Didn't your second room and Xu Panyue and her mother discuss this? ]

Xu Zhimiao sneered in his heart but did not show it on his face. He still followed Mu Shaochen in fear.

[The Second House covets the position of Marquis, and Xu Panyue happens to be Xu Chongshan's beloved daughter. I am not favored by Xu Chongshan, and as smart as your Second House is, how could you let me marry into your Second House? ]

[Is this the thief crying thief? Last night, your precious son and Xu Panyue had several bloody battles! ]

He was so busy complaining in his mind that he didn't notice that except for Mu Shaochen, the Dingyuan Marquis couple and the old lady all had expressions of horror.

He looked at Xu Zhimiao with an incredible look.

What did they... they... hear? They actually heard Xu Zhimiao's inner voice?

The three of them looked at each other, then looked around, and everyone else had no unusual expressions.

So, only the three of them could hear it?

"Mother, what should we do?" Han looked at the old lady, her face full of grievances. "Such a big mistake happened on our wedding night. How... should we explain this to our in-laws?"

"What do you want to confess?" The old lady looked directly at Han. "Could it be that the Xu family did nothing wrong? I am now doubting whether they deliberately exchanged the marriage!"

"Mother, why... do you say that?" Han looked at the old lady with horror.

impossible!

How could the old lady know this? They and the Xu family kept this very secret!

"Second Madam." Xu Zhimiao looked at Han and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Why don't we switch back in front of all the elders when the eldest young master and sister Panyue come?"

"What?!" Han looked at her in confusion.

Xu Zhimiao said seriously, "Don't worry, Madam, the young master and I did not consummate our marriage last night. We discovered that we sent the wrong bridal chamber, and we were planning to notify the second chamber."

"But the servants who came to the west courtyard said that the gate of your west courtyard was closed, and no one answered the door after knocking."

"The Marquis and the First Madam knew that I was sent to the wrong bridal chamber. So, the Young Master and I did not sleep in the same room last night."

"Then, can you change it back? I can't take advantage of sister Panyue. This prince's consort belongs to sister Panyue. I should also be the daughter-in-law of the second lady."

After saying that, he looked at Han with expectant eyes, waiting for her answer.

The couple of Marquis Dingyuan were slightly startled, then they responded in unison, "Yes, yes! I found out as soon as I lifted the veil yesterday. I sent someone to inform us. I sent someone to the West Courtyard to call my second brother and his wife to discuss how to solve the problem. But I didn't expect that your West Courtyard would not open the door at all."

"Why don't we change it back now? Second brother, sister-in-law, what do you think? After all, only a few of us know about it, and it hasn't become known to everyone."

[Haha! My mother-in-law is really good! She actually heard the hidden meaning in my words. She is a fellow traveler! We can make friends with her! But it’s a pity that she died young!] Xu Zhimiao sighed in his heart.

what? !

Xi was shocked.

What does it mean? Short-lived? Her? Why is she short-lived?

When Han heard the proposal to exchange the bride, she instantly lost her composure.

How is that possible! Their second wife had finally managed to change the marriage.

What's the point of marrying Xu Zhimiao, the unpopular daughter of the Xu family? She is submissive and has no opinion of her own, and Xu Chongshan doesn't like her.

Nothing but a face!

But she is not like Xu Panyue, who is the apple of Xu Chongshan's eye and has such a powerful mother like Ruan.

For her son, marrying Xu Panyue would be the icing on the cake.

Changing it back is impossible!

"This……"

Han didn't know what to say for a moment, so she turned to look at Murjin and asked him to speak.

"Old Madam, Marquis, First Madam, Second Master, Second Madam. The Eldest Young Master and the Eldest Young Mistress come here to serve tea." The respectful voice of the old woman in the mansion came from outside the door.

After he finished speaking, Mu Yiwen and Xu Panyue were seen walking side by side towards this side.

[Xu Panyue, please don't let me down! You must hold on to your man! I don't like such an ugly man! ]

Xu Zhimiao's gaze moved from Mu Yiwen's face back to Mu Shaochen's face.

[Well, I still prefer the beauty in the world! Every frown, smile, gesture, and movement of hers fully reveals her charming demeanor. This Mu Yiwen, no! No! Small eyes, protruding cheekbones, pointed mouth, and curved chin. Oh, oh! I don’t like her, I don’t like her! Let’s leave her to Xu Panyue! ]

Old Madam, the gazes of Marquis Dingyuan and his wife lingered between Mu Shaochen and Mu Yiwen.

The more I look at it, the more I think this is the case.

Especially the Marquis’ wife, a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

Well, her son is just handsome.

Mu Shaochen's temples were throbbing. He felt that his parents had been led astray by Xu Zhimiao.

"Sister Panyue, how could you steal my husband?" Xu Zhimiao's eyes were filled with tears. He looked at Xu Panyue who was walking towards him with grievance and pity.
