"Okay, don't say any more. I always thought you were a steady person, but I didn't expect you to be a fool. I don't blame Yi'er for being mad at you. What a bad idea you came up with. You saved one, but you have to sacrifice another?

Get up quickly, don't go out for the next two days, and reflect on yourself in your room. But if the master knows about this and punishes you, I can't help you." Dong said angrily, got up, told Yingbao not to forget it, and then left.

In the pavilion, only two people were left, Mu Yingbao and the maid Annie.

All the performers had left, leaving her as the only one watching the show.

"Miss, it's late, let's go back." Although Annie is a maid, intelligence has nothing to do with social status.

Annie followed Mu Yingbao for a few days. Even though she had no feelings for her, she felt that she was easier to get along with than other girls. In her heart, she couldn't help but feel a little sad for her.

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's still early. Look at how beautiful the moonlight is tonight, and there are so many delicious foods here. Let's stay a little longer. Come on, there's no one else here, you can sit down and eat with us." Mu Yingbao greeted with a smile.

When Annie heard the man's tone and smiling expression, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

She recalled that the maids and servants in the mansion had been talking about this Miss Bao in private these days, saying that she was a little bit stupid. She didn't believe it at first, but now, she couldn't help but have some doubts.

After the situation just now, how could this person in front of me still be so heartless as to admire the moon and still have the mood to eat?

"Miss, if you want to sit for a while, I will accompany you." This was all Annie could say.

She didn't have the guts to actually sit down and eat with him. Besides, she didn't dare to chat with the girl and hint at anything.

What if this foolish man tells the lady about this and tells her that his kindness was not rewarded? He might get beaten up, which is not a big deal, but he will ruin the lady's good fortune and be sold out of the house, or even beaten to death.

Forget it, since this person doesn't care, then I shouldn't worry about it. Just do my duty as a servant.

Seeing her like this, Mu Yingbao did not force her. He simply put several plates of snacks together, held them and sat down by the railing of the pavilion, leaning against the railing.

The moon was beautiful, the snacks were delicious, and her mood was really not affected - it was very good. In ancient times, there was no industrial waste gas pollution, the air was good, and the blue moon in the sky looked particularly clear.

Mu Yingbao knew that tonight's play did not end with the departure of those women. On the contrary, it was just the beginning.

After tonight, there will only be four days until the eldest sister's wedding. She is very curious about how the play will be performed in the next four days.

She was not worried at all because the most anxious ones should be the mother and daughter.

She was a little worried that the other party might become desperate and lose patience with her, and use dirty tricks on the wedding day, such as drugging her so that she would not be able to resist. After all, this place was like a den of wolves to her, and no one would help her, an orphan.

She was familiar with pharmacology, drugs, poisons, laxatives, and hallucinogens. She had prepared all of them for fun. Of course, she had done them behind her family's back. If those people knew about her, they would definitely give her a political lesson and moral education.

But there is always someone better than you, and she couldn't guarantee that she could control the medicines prepared by the ancients.

All in all, it’s better to be careful!

She warned herself that before she had strong enough power to protect herself, she should try to keep a low profile and not cause trouble. She should adhere to the principle of "I will not offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will definitely punish him." But when punishing others, she should avoid getting into trouble.

"Miss, it's getting late, shall we go home?" After sitting in the pavilion for another half an hour, Annie saw that she didn't know what this girl was thinking about, so she asked carefully with some concern.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yingbao also felt sleepy. He stood up, shook off the snack crumbs on his collar, and walked back.

Just as the two of them walked away, a black shadow jumped from a big tree not far from the pavilion and disappeared over the wall.

After a while, the man in black entered a yard. There was someone guarding the door. When he saw him, he immediately knocked on the door and reported in a low voice to the other side.

"Come in." A deep and attractive voice came from inside.

"Lin Chuan, I just asked you to go and see how our prince's bride-to-be reacts. Why did you take so long? Did you go to see a fortune teller on the way?"

A man sitting on the Arhat couch in the room, holding a chess piece in his hand, asked with a sly smile.

On the other side of the table above the couch, a man in brocade clothes was still staring at the chessboard.

"Lu Fangqun, don't frame me in front of me. I won't believe it." The man in black tore off the black cloth on his face and glared at the person who had just spoken.

"Alright, alright, it's just a joke. Are you so angry? Quick, what's going on over there?" The master was sitting next to him, so Lu Fangqun didn't dare to act too aggressively. Moreover, he was more anxious to hear the result than the person sitting next to him.

Because, on the way back, the brothers were bored, so they made a bet secretly. The bet was very simple, the loser would treat the winner to a meal at Mingyue Tower.

Mingyuelou is the best restaurant in Beijing, bar none! Even if you order the lowest-end meal, a table would cost at least 100 taels of silver. So, Lu Fangqun followed his master on the journey for days, and although he was very tired, he still stayed here to wait for the result.

Lin Chuan knew about the bet, but he did not participate. He already had someone he loved and was saving money to marry a wife. How could he possibly mess around with these bachelors?

After taking a look at his master's expression, he saw that he didn't look impatient or angry, so he heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Master, I have heard that Governor Mu has no intention of canceling the engagement."

"Ah, I won, that's great, I told you, even if he wanted to, he wouldn't dare to do it." Upon hearing this, Lu Fangqun jumped off the couch excitedly.

Lin Chuan attacked him rudely, "Don't be too happy, kid. I haven't even finished what I'm saying. The governor doesn't dare to ask the Marquis to cancel the engagement, but he has the guts to think of something else."

"Please explain it clearly. What do you mean? Why am I confused by you?" Lu Fangqun asked with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

"The governor's wife led several young ladies and concubines to the garden. One of the concubines suggested that a young lady named Bao be married to our master instead of the eldest lady. Then, the eldest lady started to scold the concubine and left in a bad mood.

Later, the wife of the prefect also complained that the concubine shouldn't have said that. "Lin Chuan said this while looking at his master.

"Wait, where did this Miss Bao come from?" Lu Fangqun interrupted again.

He knew the names of several girls waiting to get married in the Mu Mansion.

Lin Chuan also knew his master's temperament. He was very dignified to his subordinates in front of outsiders. However, when there were no outsiders, the situation was completely different. The brothers could joke and make fun of each other at will.

"I heard it clearly. It was the child of the fourth half brother of the prefect Mu. However, it was not the child of a concubine. It was the child of the fourth master Mu who ran away from home and married a wife outside."

"What a joke, getting a wild girl born outside to fool our master? Besides, isn't that young lady always full of affection every time she sees our prince? She won't agree to what her father is doing, right?

Moreover, you just said that when the eldest girl heard what the aunt said in the garden, she refused.

Master, you don't need to think too much. At most, on the wedding day, we brothers can sneak into the governor's mansion and exchange the bride back. As long as the bridal sedan comes to our mansion, we go to the bridal chamber after the ceremony, even if the governor finds out, he won't dare to do anything. At most, he will just swallow his anger. " Lu Fangqun patted his chest and promised his master that he would never let the governor succeed.

Xue Wenyu gracefully put down the chess piece in his hand, and then raised his head. "No, tomorrow, I will go and investigate in person."

The Mu family is quite interesting! They don't want Mu Jinyi to marry into the family, not because they are unsure of her life or death, but because they think the Xue family may lose power...
