Madam Mu approached Mu Luan, smiled and asked in a low voice: "Yao'er, do you know Ye Yaozhi, the second young lady of the Ye family?"

Mu Luanyi blinked and turned her head to look at her elder brother's expression.

His gentle appearance inexplicably became much colder.

She pondered for a moment, then smiled awkwardly and said, "I know him, but I'm not very familiar with him."

"It's good to know each other. Let's get to know each other more often in the future."

Madam Mu suddenly lowered her voice, approached her mysteriously and said, "Check for your elder brother."

"Auntie!"

Mu Luoheng looked at his mother who was randomly matching couples with him with displeasure.

Madam Mu glanced away and looked away, as if she hadn't heard anything.

Mu Luan chuckled, with a hint of smile in her eyes.

It turns out that the second young lady of the Ye family is the future sister-in-law that A-niang has her eyes on.

But judging from the eldest brother's expression, he didn't seem to like Ye Yaozhi.

This is difficult to do.

Ye Yaozhi came to Mu Luan and politely greeted Madam Mu and Mu Luoheng.

After that, he kept following Mu Luan, but his eyes always unconsciously flew to Mu Luoheng who was standing not far away.

In the corridor, Mu Luan followed her gaze towards the tall and majestic figure, her eyelashes blinking, with a faint curve at the corners of her mouth.

"You like my big brother?"

Ye Yaozhi was stunned for a moment, and two bright red blushes quickly appeared on her cheeks, "I..."

She was speechless for a moment, and twirled the handkerchief in her hand nervously. After calming down, she said, "Zuo Houwei is a handsome man and holds a high position. There must be many girls who like him."

Mu Luan lowered her eyes and thought for a while. Her elder brother was outstanding in both appearance and background.

However, this was the first time she had seen a girl who liked the eldest brother.

Mu Luan heard some rumors about the aristocratic family from Shen Yin.

Rumor has it that women from aristocratic families would often marry powerful men in the capital to consolidate their family's status.

The more prestigious the women are in their husband's family, the higher the family's reputation will be.

Just like Su Lan's mother, Liu.

The Liu family is backed by one of the four major families, the Liu family.

But Liu was not a direct descendant of the Liu family, so even if she married Su Qinghe later, she could only be a concubine.

What is incredible is that after Liu was made the legitimate wife, her maternal family was also moved into the family's direct lineage.

However, the fact that Liu was able to eventually defeat his legal wife Cui and successfully become the legitimate wife is enough to show that he was not a simple-minded person.

The reason why aristocratic families are respected is not just because they have been married into the powerful for generations.

Moreover, it has abundant financial resources as a backing.

Mu Luan couldn't help but think of the painting "The Goddess of Luo River".

When it was discovered in the previous life, it was in the warehouse of the Regent's Palace.

Could it be that the Ye family was also on Jun Zhao’s list of people to be confiscated?

"His Royal Highness is here!"

A sharp call came from the front door of the mansion, and everyone looked forward.

Mu Luan's thoughts were pulled back to reality, and she followed everyone in preparing to salute, but when she lowered her eyes, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of a familiar face.

Su Lan?

She actually came with the prince.

What is different from the past is that the clothes are more gorgeous and noble.

After the prince got off the car, he did not leave immediately.

Instead, he turned around, stretched out his hand, and helped Su Lan get out of the car.

This inevitably caused quite a bit of discussion.

"This daughter of the Minister of Rites actually came in the same carriage with the Crown Prince, and they were so intimate."

"What's the big deal? The Minister of Rites is the current Queen's brother and the Crown Prince's uncle. It's not surprising for cousins ​​to ride in the same carriage."

"That being said, the prince is of noble status, and Miss Su is beautiful, so it is hard to guarantee that they will not become a close family."

"By the way, have you heard that Miss Su seems to have been living in the East Palace recently?"

"Really? There is such a thing."

"The Queen is Miss Su's aunt. If this is true, it seems that Miss Su will be either rich or noble in the future."

"Then we have to have a good relationship with her."

When those unmarried women looked at Su Lan again, their eyes were full of flattery and envy.

Su Lan was like a noble peacock, enjoying their greetings and praises with peace of mind.

When someone asked if she and the prince were about to get married, Su Lan blushed and said, "It's too early to tell. Sisters, please don't make fun of me."

This attempt to conceal the truth and the ambiguous answer made others more certain of the relationship between the two.

Seeing this, Su Lan just smiled and didn't explain too much.

Some misunderstandings will become true as they spread, and falsehood will become true.

Others tried to see some clues from the prince's face.

But apart from a hint of fatigue, nothing else could be seen on the prince's face.

When the prince comes, the Duke of Yan and his wife will come out to greet him personally.

After a series of greetings, Jun Qizhen went to the main hall.

But when passing through the corridor, the hurried footsteps suddenly slowed down.

The corners of her slender eyes were slightly raised, and she smiled and took a few steps towards the corridor.

Su Lan was half a step behind him and watched the prince deviate from the right path.

When I looked up, I realized that the person standing in the corridor was Mu Luan.

It’s strange to say, she was never seen at such banquets in the past.

But now, we meet each other every day.

Instead of staying in the general's mansion as a frail and sickly young lady, she learned how to seduce men everywhere!

Su Lan's face turned pale, and the shy smile on her face became difficult and ugly.

"But is she the eldest daughter of the Mu family?"

Jun Qi was stroking his jade ring, his slender eyes gleaming with brilliance, barely hiding the frivolous look in his eyes.

Mu Luan was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised that the prince actually knew her.

Just as she was about to reply, a figure suddenly came from the side and completely blocked her behind.

"Your Highness, it is my little sister."

A gentle and cold voice was heard, and Mu Luoheng met the prince's direct gaze with neither humility nor arrogance.

Jun Qizheng glanced at the person who was in the way and said in a bad tone, "So you are the younger sister of Zuo Houwei. You are not on duty in the palace today, but you have the time to show up here."

"Your Highness, I am on leave today and will not interfere in matters that are not my responsibility," said Mu Luoheng.

Jun Qi was clenching the ring on his thumb, his pupils shrank slightly, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

He almost gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Zuo Houwei really fulfilled his duties."

Mu Luoheng's expression was still gentle and polite, "It's what I should do."

"Zuo Houwei is so protective of my sister, is he afraid that I will eat her?"

Jun Qizheng had a teasing smile on his face, and said nonchalantly: "I just felt that she looked familiar. Could it be that I am not allowed to talk to her with my status?"

Mu Luoheng's expression changed slightly, and she frowned and said, "Your Highness, you are worrying too much. I am always shy and I am afraid of offending Your Highness."

At this time, Mu Luan behind him gently pulled Mu Luoheng's sleeve.
