As the sun rises, the coolness on the top of the mountain is gradually replaced by heat.

Jiang Ying subconsciously glanced at his second brother's face.

Because Mu Wanbai deliberately raised her voice, everyone around her heard what she said!

The ladies who were on good terms with her hid their lips with handkerchiefs and giggled, pretending to congratulate, "Then we have to congratulate Miss Mu Er. When we have the wedding, we all have to take a good look at what the groom looks like."

"Haha, can the groom come? Maybe he has difficulty walking and will be carried home in a sedan chair."

Naturally, Mu Zijin was embarrassed by what she heard. She was so angry that her face turned red. Suddenly, she stepped forward and slapped the person who had spoken hard in the face before anyone could react.

With full aura, he said, "Shut up! You have no right to interfere in the affairs of our Mu family! Even if I, Mu Zijin, want to marry an old widower, it must be done by my parents and the matchmaker. You are not my parent, and you are not the matchmaker Baoshan. It is an overstepping of authority to discuss the affairs of my Mu family!"

The person who was beaten just stood there in a daze, mouth open, unable to recover.

Because they followed Mu Wanbai to bully Mu Zijin more than once or twice. According to her previous temperament, she was timid and would not resist at all. Even if she was angry, she would just look unhappy at most.

Unexpectedly, this time she actually took action directly, catching everyone off guard.

"You...you dare to hit me? I'll make sure you cut off both of your hands!" The person who was beaten screamed and wanted to ask the accompanying maids and servants to retaliate against Mu Zijin.

Mu Zijin was extremely angry just now. In addition, she had been close to Jiang Ying these days and had been infected with some of the habits of a female bandit. So she taught the other party a lesson without thinking.

Now surrounded by the other party's two maids, two servants, and guards, she suddenly felt flustered.

Except for the old lady and the old sisters who went out to chat, everyone else in the Jiang family was there. Seeing this, they naturally wanted to help Mu Zijin, especially Jiang Yuanchen.

The group was marching forward, and seeing that they were about to fall behind, Jiang Yuanyi bent down, picked up a stone and accurately hit a servant on the wrist, preventing him from grabbing Mu Zijin's shoulder. At the same time, two girls, one in red and one in purple, squeezed into the crowd one step ahead of the Jiang family and stood on Mu Zijin's side.

Lu Yanran was full of heroic spirit. She grabbed a maid's hand and swung it hard, almost throwing her to the ground.

Shen Xiaoxiao was even cuter. She scattered a bag full of gold beans on the ground. The maids and servants had never seen such wealth before. They subconsciously rushed to the ground to grab them.

In this way, with the two of them protecting Mu Zijin, the latter did not suffer any loss.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Ying and his three brothers arrived. Yan Zhuo did not follow to join in the fun. He carried his son to each tent to show off. By the way, he could also listen to gossip based on his son's inner thoughts, which was quite interesting.

As soon as Jiang Ying showed up, Shen Xiaoxiao was the first to be filled with excitement, "Sister Jiang, thank you so much for last time. If it weren't for you, I might never wake up in this lifetime!"

Shen Xiaoxiao really didn't expect that the elders always said that the capital was full of crises, but it shouldn't be the case that not even a blade of grass on the mountains outside Beijing could be touched, right?

The result is really weird!

He left home upright and entered the capital sideways.

If her sister hadn't asked Madam Jiang to treat her by chance, she wouldn't know when she would wake up!

Shen Xiaoxiao remembered the sleepy grass! When she left the capital and returned home, she must pick a few more and bring them back to her hometown to let her relatives and friends see them!

"It's just a small favor. You've already thanked me many times and given me many gifts. There's no need to be like this." Jiang Ying laughed. This Shen Xiaoxiao was indeed frank, cute, and generous.

Essentially, he is the same kind of person as Jiang Yuanlang.

No wonder the two of them admired each other in their previous life and should have been together, but Jiang Yuanlang died early and this fate ended in vain.

Seeing Jiang Ying and his three brothers coming over, Mu Wanbai and the others stepped back unconsciously, and several of the ladies looked extremely unnatural.

There is the embarrassment of being caught, as well as the shyness of a young girl. Her face turns red and white, and then pale and blue. It is very exciting.

"Do you three know each other?" Jiang Ying looked at Lu Yanran, Mu Zijin and Shen Xiaoxiao who were standing in a camp. Well, these three will be her sisters-in-law in the future. Now they are helping each other before they marry into the Jiang family. When they officially become sisters-in-law in the future, their relationship will definitely be good.

"Cough cough." Lu Yanran suddenly coughed and unconsciously glanced at Jiang Yuanyi's face.

She was embarrassed to say that she was not familiar with Mu Zijin before. It was Jiang Yuanyi who mentioned it during a chat, saying that his second brother, who was the top scholar in the imperial examination, seemed to have set his eyes on the concubine's daughter of the Mu family. As the legitimate son of the Jiang family and the talent of the top scholar, it was far-fetched for the legitimate daughter of the Mu family to be considered a concubine, let alone a concubine's daughter.

However, as long as Jiang Yuanchen truly likes the girl, he, as the eldest brother, will not object. He even told his future wife to keep an eye on her, as she is Mu Zijin's close friend. So when Mu Wanbai and Madam Mu want to tease someone, they will think twice.

As for Shen Xiaoxiao, it was purely a coincidence, because Lu Yanran had just performed a sword dance in the crowd and she was very envious of it, so she took the initiative to make friends with Lu Yanran.

They originally wanted to go and talk to Jiang Ying, but who knew they would run into Mu Zijin halfway. Thinking of Jiang Yuanyi's instructions, Lu Yanran naturally would not stand idly by.

"When I see injustice, I draw my sword to help. Like Sister Lu, I can't stand the majority bullying the minority. Also, relying on the fact that you are the legitimate daughter, you don't treat the illegitimate daughter as a human being." Shen Xiaoxiao spoke with a clear and pleasant voice, "I heard that Elder Mu is an old senior of the Qingliu School, with outstanding character, but I never thought that the legitimate daughter educated by his family is so superficial.

Even for us, a family of merchants, we know that even if we are family members, we are connected as one. No matter how much we quarrel or argue on weekdays, we still stand united when it matters. But Miss Mu is different. Her words and actions are so ugly that even a passerby like me can't stand it!

Why, Miss Mu Er's marriage is not going well, and Miss Mu Da and Miss Mu Er are of the same blood, so can she get some benefits?"

Whenever money and interests are involved, Shen Xiaoxiao gets excited!

This is her specialty.

In just a few words, Mu Wanbai's meanness was pointed out. The mother and daughter sold the concubine's daughter together, and they benefited from it, which was fine. But they also brazenly brought it up in broad daylight? Aren't they afraid of getting their tongue stuck?

"Wanbai, I have something else to do at home, I'll leave first."

"Wanbai, the hunting expedition will be announced soon. I'm going to go see how the brothers are preparing."

As expected, Shen Xiaoxiao’s fighting power was too strong, and Mu Wanbai’s friends all found excuses to leave.

When she was the only one confronting everyone, Mu Wanbai's face turned pale and her expression stiffened. "This... this is not my decision. Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Wan Bai, the family your parents chose for you may seem ordinary on the surface, but they are actually considering you. Your reputation has been ruined by your previous fall into the water. Even if your parents wanted to find you a better family, it won't work out, right?"

Mu Wanbai pressed him with every question, as if she was betting that Jiang Yuanchen would never marry Mu Wanbai. What a joke! She was just a concubine's daughter. She would not be of any help to his future career at all!

After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave. She didn't want to argue with Jiang Ying and the others because they outnumbered them. She would definitely suffer a loss.

However, at this moment, Jiang Yuanchen did not shy away from anything, and stepped forward to Mu Wanbai and bowed earnestly at a 90-degree angle, "Second Miss Mu, although I did act out of urgency when I rescued someone from the water last time, I, Jiang Yuanchen, am willing to take responsibility. I have also mentioned this to Madam Mu and Lord Mu before, but they refused to believe it.

Then I will say it again today. I, Jiang Yuanchen, am willing to marry Miss Mu. After the autumn hunt is over and we go down the mountain, I will ask my grandmother to invite Baoshan to come to my house. Then I will ask Miss Mu to believe in her own heart and not be swayed by other things. "

Originally, Jiang Yuanchen wanted to go to the Mu family to propose marriage after getting the results of the imperial examination next spring. It would be legitimate and reasonable, and it would also bring honor to Mu Zijin.

But now that things have come to this point, it doesn’t matter if I decide on it in advance.

In short, he was very confident about the Spring Examination.

After a while, Jiang Ying finally realized that her second brother really liked her, especially the last sentence. It was not that he was giving Mu Zijin reassurance, but that he wanted Mu Zijin to give him reassurance, right?

Mu Wanbai clenched his fists, and was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He glared at Jiang Yuanchen and Mu Zijin fiercely before leaving in a rage!

On the high platform outside the main tent in the middle of the venue, Eunuch Huang’s shouting was extremely penetrating.

Needless to say, we all had to gather together to listen to the emperor's speech.

When Jiang Ying turned around, she saw Yan Zhuo holding his son and walking towards her with a smile on his face.

When he got closer, he whispered in her ear, "Ying'er, guess what I did just now?"
