Hearing this, Mu Shaochen was slightly stunned.

Then Xu Zhimiao glanced towards Yan Yu inconspicuously.

Mu Shaochen followed her gaze and looked in that direction.

Yan Yu happened to be looking over here, and their eyes met.

The moment she saw Mu Shaochen, a look of surprise and excitement flashed in Yan Yu's eyes.

She thought Mu Yiqing was the most handsome man she had ever seen, so she tried every means to stay with him.

When she learned that he was the son of Marquis Dingyuan, she was even more delighted.

As she has been among men for a long time, she has many ways to win them over.

Mu Yiqing had no experience with men and women, but she conquered him with just two or three moves.

It was just a "life-saving favor", but he suggested taking her to Beijing and even expressed in words that he was willing to marry her.

Yan Yu was overjoyed about this.

The Marquis' Mansion! That was a family that she had always been afraid to enter!

She was glad that she was not serving those men in Jinglou, as people who came to the capital would definitely not recognize her.

All she needs to do is put on some makeup and change her personality to get rid of that worldly air.

Then let his companions perform a play with her.

In an instant, she became a wealthy lady, dignified, elegant, gentle and considerate.

And her "parents" "died" to save Mu Yiqing, and before "dying", they entrusted their only daughter to him.

Mu Yiqing didn't have any doubts at all and just took her to Beijing and returned home.

But at this moment, when she saw Mu Shaochen.

It was as if her heart had been sucked away by him, and it seemed as if it could never be taken back.

This man exudes an irresistible charm, the charm of a mature, married man.

This kind of charm is not possessed by someone like Mu Yiqing who has never had any sexual experience.

This kind of man is more to her taste.

She wanted to conquer this man and make him submit to her.

The most important point was that she clearly saw in Mu Shaochen's eyes his tenderness and love for his wife.

It was that touch of gentle love that made her want to have this man even more.

Mu Shaochen withdrew his gaze and didn't even glance at Yan Yu.

He smiled dotingly at Xu Zhimiao, "I know, don't worry."

His eyes, so gentle that they seemed to drip water, deepened the desire in Yan Yu's heart.

This man was tailor-made for her. She wanted him!

Everyone felt her naked gaze.

Even Mu Yiqing could sense the strange look she had towards her elder brother Mu Shaochen.

He bowed to the old lady again and said, "Grandmother, please make good arrangements for Miss Yan. Your grandson and elder brother will go to the palace to meet the emperor."

After saying that, he looked at Yan Yu solemnly, then turned and left.

"Dongxue, take Miss Yan to my Qing'an Residence and clean up Anjing Pavilion for Miss Yan to stay temporarily." The old lady said to Dongxue.

"Yes, old lady." Dongxue responded and said politely to Yan Yu, "Miss Yan, please follow me."

Yan Yu was in a trance for a moment.

Live in the old lady’s courtyard?

Why was she arranged to live in the old man's courtyard?

Even if it is not arranged in Mu Yiqing's courtyard, it should be the courtyard of other female relatives, right?

Mu Yiqing told her that he had a brother and a sister. The brother had been married some time ago, and the sister was still unmarried.

Shouldn't she be arranged to live in Miss Mu's courtyard?

How come... it’s the old lady’s yard?

On the way here, she hoped to live under the same roof with Mu Yiqing.

But now, she would rather be arranged in the prince's courtyard.

That way, she could find a solution.

After all, she knew how to seduce a man, and every one of her patrons fell for her skills.

Being a man from an aristocratic family like the one in the Marquis' Mansion, bound by so many rules and regulations, must be boring and depressing.

She has plenty of ways to relieve their stress.

But, no rush.

Now that she has entered the Marquis' Mansion, she has a chance.

The most important thing right now is to make everyone in the Marquis' Mansion like her, and then slowly find out everyone's preferences, and then cater to their needs.

She would then ask him about the prince bit by bit, and then she could attack him.

He bowed politely to everyone and said, "Yan Yu thanks the old lady and the lady for their hospitality. Yan Yu will leave first."

Then follow Dongxue away.

"Bah!" Seeing her leave, Mu Nian'an and Li Wanru spat at the same time, "It's obvious that she's not a good person!"

"That's right! What's wrong with my third cousin? Can't you see that this woman has bad intentions?"

"He's so frivolous! Who knows where he came from."

"We have to find a way to make her leave. Otherwise, our family will have no peace."

"Yes, Wanru is right. But she has to leave on her own."

The two of them were talking to each other.

"Mother, who is this girl?" Mu Changlin asked in confusion.

"Yiqing brought it back and said it saved his life." Xi said.

“Since you saved my life, then…” Before he could finish his words, he received warning looks from everyone.

He quickly changed his words, "It's not convenient for me to interfere in the affairs of the back house. Just make the arrangements."

"Miao Miao, what do you think?" Xi looked at Xu Zhimiao lovingly and asked, "Now you are the housekeeper, we all listen to you. What do you think is the best way to arrange her?"

"Yes, yes! Listen to my sister-in-law." Mu Nian'an and Li Wanru nodded repeatedly.

"Me?" Xu Zhimiao looked confused and blinked, "I'd better listen to my grandmother."

"Your mother is right. Now you are the housekeeper and you make the decision. No matter what decision you make, we support you." The old lady said seriously.

Xu Zhimiao thought seriously for a while, and said in a deep voice, "Then let's wait for my husband and Yiqing to come back after seeing the emperor. We have to listen to Yiqing's opinion, after all, he is the one who brought the person back."

……

A crescent moon hangs high in the sky, casting a layer of light white.

This is the Xia family’s ancestral tomb, where Xia Zhilan is buried.

According to her age, she is not qualified to be buried in the ancestral tomb.

However, out of love for their eldest daughter, Duke Xia and his wife ignored the opposition and allowed their daughter to be buried in the family tomb.

It’s just a little far away from the tombs of Xia family’s ancestors.

Please put on a nightgown and stand in front of Xia Zhilan's grave.

He bowed deeply towards the tombstone and said, "Miss Xia, I am sorry for your wrongdoing!"

After saying that, he struck the tomb with all his might.

The tomb was opened, revealing the coffin.

He jumped into the tomb and pried open the coffin lid.

The coffin was empty, without any bones at all.
