General's Mansion.

December 20th of every year is the top festival in the General’s Mansion.

On this day, the mansion did not hold a grand banquet like other noble families, but Mrs. Mu prepared it and the whole family gathered around the table to have a meal.

The general's mansion is not as bound by rules as other people's homes, and it is full of joy and happiness.

Mu Sinian and his two sons raised their glasses for a drink, while Madam Mu told Mu Luan about the ugly things that happened to Mu Qingyu when he was a child.

This inevitably caused Mu Qingyu's dissatisfaction, but he could only shake his head and glare at his father helplessly.

His eyes clearly said: Dad, you should take care of your wife.

Mu Sinian said nothing. He just glanced at his wife who was smiling like a flower, then looked away guiltily.

He didn't care. Now that Mu Qingyu was talking about how happy he was, if he interrupted, the war would probably start with him. He didn't want to do anything that would bring trouble upon himself.

Although they are a family, it is not appropriate to always let his wife embarrass his son.

So he came up with a plan, turned around and waved to the housekeeper outside the door, then whispered to Mu Luan: "Yao'er, today is your birthday, look what daddy has prepared for you!"

Mu Luan still had a smile on her face. Hearing this, she looked curiously in the direction her father pointed.

I saw the butler carrying a tray covered with a red cloth. I didn't know what was hidden underneath.

She stood up, her eyes bright with smile, and at her mother's urging, she raised her hand and lifted the red cloth.

It turned out to be a small golden horsewhip!

The handle of the whip is made of special material. It is soft and tough to hold, and does not hurt the hand. It is simply tailor-made for Mu Luan.

Mu Luan was very pleased and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, Dad."

Seeing that his daughter liked it, Mu Sinian was very happy.

A jealous voice sounded at this moment, "Dad, Yaoyao has everything, but what about me? Where is my gift?"

"You're really everywhere," Mu Sinian smacked his lips, lowered his eyes, and ordered the servant to bring a tray.

Mu Qingyu was smiling happily. As soon as the servant walked into the door, he rushed forward like the wind and pulled away the red cloth.

"Why is it a riding whip?"

The corners of Mu Qingyu's mouth drooped suddenly.

"Don't pay me back."

Mu Sinian was unhappy, and was about to stand up to take back the whip he had taken great pains to get.

Seeing this, Mu Qingyu quickly hid the whip behind him and said with his head raised, "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. You can't go back on your word. It's a gift, it's a gift."

Mu Sinian glared at him and said, "Gentleman, I'm your father!"

Mu Qingyu was speechless for a moment, but he was happy in his heart.

As soon as he held the little whip in his hand, he knew it was a good thing!

Only a fool would not want that.

Mu Luan saw the twinkle in her second brother's eyes, so she decided to make him happy again, and called out, "Second brother, Yaoyao also has a birthday gift for you."

Mu Qingyu pouted and looked at her sister. There was clearly anticipation in her eyes, but she asked in a way that looked like she was asking for a beating: "Isn't it another poem or song?"

But he changed his mind and said, "It doesn't matter. I'll be happy with whatever Yaoyao gives me."

Mu Luan shook her head with a meaningful smile on her face. She raised her chin behind him and said, "Second brother will know when he sees it."

Not only Mu Qingyu was curious, but everyone else also looked behind Mu Qingyu.

Yun He was seen holding a long box in both hands and standing respectfully in front of Mu Qingyu.

Mu Qingyu turned around in disbelief and looked at her sister who was smiling gently.

He seemed to already know what the gift was.

With uncontrollable trembling of fingers, he slowly opened the long box, and a bronze sword suddenly appeared before his eyes.

That was the protective sword that Mu Qingyu had longed for in his previous life but never got.

The last time Mu Luan saw him use a long sword was when the snow was falling.

But the sword in his hand did not protect him, but became the final help in helping him to end his life.

After being reborn into this life, the moment Mu Luan saw Mu Qingyu, she made up her mind to forge a long sword for him, hoping that it would protect him.

I didn’t expect it to happen to be my birthday, so I just treated it as a birthday gift.

Seeing her second brother so overjoyed, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, suppressing the moisture at the corners of her eyes.

Unexpectedly, Mu Qingyu suddenly rushed over and picked her up. In an instant, her beautiful figure in the pink dress flashed in the air.

In the corner of a corridor not far away, a dark figure's originally cold aura became even more gloomy.

The ink-black eyes stared at the pink figure without blinking.

Mu Luan naturally knew nothing about this, but she was startled by this sudden hug.

Mu Sinian and the others just reacted and shouted, "Put Yao'er down quickly! If you hurt Yao'er, I will kill you."

Mrs. Mu shook her head helplessly. No one noticed that Mu Luoheng, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly stood up and walked towards Mu Luan.

Mu Qingyu had already put Mu Luan down. He knew that he was too excited, but he didn't think anything of it.

Seeing that Mu Luan was fine, he quickly ran to Yun He to protect his bronze sword.

Everyone knows that Mu Qingyu has no romantic feelings for Mu Luan, but there are still differences between men and women, so Mu Sinian wanted to scold her a few more times.

But the boy's mind was full of the sword, so he simply didn't say anything else.

Mu Luoheng gently held Mu Luan's shoulders, looked at her, and said nothing. He just reached out and tucked her messy hair behind her ears.

In the depths of darkness, Jun Zhao knocked the short blade in his hand against the relief on the corridor again and again.

The sharp blade left deep and shallow scratches on it, and a flash of hostility flashed in his eyes.

The next moment, he withdrew his gaze indifferently, turned around, and his figure gradually blended into the dark night.

Mu Luan seemed to sense something and felt an inexplicable chill. He looked towards the corridor outside the door, but saw nothing.

Only then did she notice Mu Luoheng's actions. She shook her head, a slight smile on her lips, and said, "Yaoyao is fine, don't worry, big brother."

Mu Luoheng curled the corners of his lips slightly, took out a small box and handed it to Mu Luan, saying: "Happy birthday, Yaoyao."

Mu Luan was surprised. Her elder brother was always very busy, but she didn't expect him to remember to prepare a gift for her.

In fact, Mu Luoheng prepares birthday gifts for Mu Luan every year.

It’s just that Mu Luan was reborn, and the last time he received a gift from Mu Luoheng was in his distant past life, when the General’s Mansion was still in existence.

Mu Luan was about to open it, but Mu Luoheng covered the brocade box with one hand and whispered, "Let's go back and take a look."

Mu Luan raised her eyebrows slightly, wondering what could be so mysterious?

But she did not refuse and gave the brocade box to Yinxin to take back.

Later, Mrs. Mu also gave Mu Luan and Mu Qingyu birthday gifts, which were two sets of new clothes she made herself. Both of them were very happy and satisfied.

It was a rare happy occasion, and Mu Sinian was drinking happily, so the two brothers naturally wanted to stay and keep him company.

Mu Luan still had something in mind, so she took advantage of the fact that they were drunk and confused to go back to Shaoguangyuan.

There were lights on everywhere in Shaoguang Courtyard, except in the warm room.
