Jun Zhao fixed his gaze on the peach in his hand, and said in a deep and cold voice, "It's not sweet at all. The ones I picked myself are still sweeter."

In the flower hall, when Mu Luan arrived, quite a few people had already gathered there, including his father, brother and mother.

Song Wenjing inadvertently caught a glimpse of Mu Luan walking down the corridor, and he became a little restless. He tightened the jade bone fan in his hand, stood up and took a few steps outside.

Mu Luan turned the corner of the corridor and met his gentle and smiling eyes.

"Yaoyao," Song Wenjing called softly.

Mu Luan also smiled kindly and nodded in greeting.

Song Wenjing asked tentatively: "I haven't been to the general's mansion for a long time, so I feel a little unfamiliar. Yaoyao, why don't you accompany me for a walk."

Song Wenjing was dressed in a navy blue robe with dark silver thread patterns. He stood as tall and straight as a cypress, and was humble and polite, worthy of being an elegant and noble young prince.

Yin Xin couldn't help but frowning on the side. The young lady and Prince Jing were simply a perfect match made in heaven.

Mu Luan was startled for a moment and turned his head to look at A Niang in the flower hall.

Madam Mu waved her hand gently, "You young people have your own way of getting along with each other, there's no harm in walking around the mansion."

Mu Luan had no choice but to agree. Thinking about this time in his previous life, Song Wenjing had come to the general's mansion countless times before. If he really wanted to stroll around, he didn't need anyone to accompany him.

Some things should be made clear.

After the two left, Mu Qingyu picked a grape and put it in his mouth, saying jokingly, "It seems that Yaoyao will get married earlier than our two brothers."

It was just a casual remark, but there was a sudden loud bang next to him. Mu Qingyu was startled and almost bit his tongue.

He held onto the handle of the chair, tilted his head to look at his elder brother beside him, and asked in confusion: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Then the eldest brother, who was always friendly, said solemnly with a sullen face: "My brother has not yet started a family, when will it be his turn?"

Anyone who heard this would think that he was talking about Mu Luan. Mu Qingyu also opened his mouth slightly with an incredible look on his face.

After all, the eldest brother has always doted on Yaoyao.

Mu Luoheng finished speaking, and without caring about the reactions of the people around him, he stood up and was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by a majestic voice behind him, "Stop right there."

Mu Luoheng, who always obeyed his father's orders, acted out of character this time. He just paused and continued to leave the flower hall without turning back.

Mu Qingyu's eyes suddenly widened, looking at his elder brother who left resolutely in disbelief.

He looked back at his father and mother somewhat helplessly, wanting to plead for his elder brother, "Father, perhaps my elder brother... perhaps he is just exhausted from the heavy workload in the Japanese army, so..."

Mu Sinian stared with tiger eyes, looking at his eldest son who left stubbornly with displeasure, but there was deep helplessness in his eyes.

Madam Mu stood up, made a silent gesture to Mu Qingyu, and looked at Mu Sinian, "Don't worry, I'll go take a look."

Mu Sinian nodded thoughtfully.

Mu Qingyu put some oil on his feet and wanted to follow A Niang to see his elder brother.

Unexpectedly, A Niang turned around and stopped him, saying, "Go back to your yard."

Mu Qingyu always felt that the atmosphere was a little weird. He scratched the back of his head and tactfully didn't follow.

In the darkness, a pair of deep eyes seemed to have discovered something interesting, and the tightly pursed lips unconsciously curled up slightly.

Linfeng Courtyard.

Mu Luoheng entered the courtyard and went straight to his bedroom, the door slamming shut from the inside.

When Madam Mu arrived, she saw the servants in the courtyard looking at the closed door with different expressions. She shouted sternly, "Everyone get out!"

The servant lowered his head in a hurry and retreated.

After Madam Mu and the others had left, Fang went forward and knocked on the dormitory door.

"Get out, all of you!" An angry roar almost like a roar came from the dormitory.

Madam Mu paused while knocking on the door, her face looking extremely solemn.

After a moment of silence, he said softly, "It's mother."

The room became quiet for a while. Mrs. Mu did not rush and waited patiently. After a while, the door creaked and slowly opened from the inside.

Mu Luoheng still only left his back behind and walked slowly inside.

Madam Mu turned her head and carefully glanced at the empty courtyard, then stepped into the room and closed it.

In the dark corner, a black shadow flashed a few times, quickly passed under the corridor, and sneaked into the window corner closest to the main house with bated breath.

After a while, Madam Mu's angry voice was heard from inside, "Heng'er, what are you doing?"

Mu Luoheng chuckled with a cold face, "Don't you know what I'm doing, mother? Yaoyao can't marry Song Wenjing!"

"Whether or not to marry Prince Jing depends on Yao'er's wishes."

Madam Mu's eyes fell, and she said earnestly, "Yao'er has known Prince Jing since she was a child. Prince Jing is also close to my general's mansion, so we know each other well. If Yao'er is attracted to him, marrying Prince Jing would be a good choice."

"What good home is this? Isn't the General's Mansion a good home? Mother, do you really have to send Yao'er away?"

The corners of Mu Luoheng's eyes were dyed red with anger, and he lost his usual elegance and reserve. He complained, "When I was young, my mother always thought I was impulsive, so I just worked hard to gain merit. Now that I'm the left marquis guard, am I not worthy of Yaoyao?"

Madam Mu shouted angrily: "Shut up!"

In the dark corner of the window, Jun Zhao's indifferent eyes suddenly became sharp for a moment, and dark waves surged in his dark eyes.

Madam Mu was furious, her brows furrowed, "You are her brother, how can you say such nonsense."

Mu Luoheng sneered and asked back: "Mother, am I really her brother? Do you know that I..."

With a snap, Mu Luoheng's words came to an abrupt end.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and Mrs. Mu walked quickly to the slightly open bracket window behind him, and looked around, especially at the dark corner of the window.

Fortunately, nothing was found.

He raised his hand, took down the bamboo pole, and closed the window.

Mu Luoheng turned his face slightly to the side and said nothing.

Mrs. Mu flexed her numb fingers, looked at the red fingerprints on her son's face, and raised her hand to touch it with a distressed look.

But the next moment, Mu Luoheng coldly avoided him.

He said calmly: "I can take her away, to a place where no one knows us, and I can take care of her for the rest of her life."

Madam Mu never expected that her son was so obsessed with Yao'er. She closed her eyes helplessly and said, "The whole world belongs to the king. Heng'er, let it go. If you want Yao'er to live, she can only be my daughter, your biological sister."

There was a hidden pain in Mu Luoheng's eyes, and all that flashed through his mind was Mu Luan's carefree voice and smile from childhood to adulthood.

He hesitated for a moment, but then he became more determined.

No one knows about my life story that has been buried for sixteen years. Not before, not now, and certainly not in the future.

Worldly views cannot allow him and Yaoyao to be together, but as long as Yaoyao is willing, he can give up everything in the capital, even if he has to wander around the world, it will be worth their meeting in this life.
