The moonlight quietly climbed up the branches. Tang Mumu and Rong Yan returned to the courtyard before dark. Just like the night at Rong Wang Mansion, everyone gathered together laughing and playing. The meal was already set on the table, just waiting for them to come back.

"You came back after dark?" Song Jinyu looked at the two of them with disgust. Tang Mumu and Rong Yan walked over and sat down in the empty seats next to him. Looking at the table full of food, smiles appeared on their lips.

"I've been hungry for a long time, and I can finally eat." Linlang picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into her mouth, nodding her head continuously, "This chicken is delicious, Ah Chu, you are amazing, you are so virtuous to be able to make such a delicious dish."

Hearing this, Ji Chu chuckled, "I learned a few dishes from my sister-in-law when I had nothing to do. You haven't tasted my sister-in-law's cooking skills. Every dish she made is delicious. It's not inferior to the chef at Tiankeju."

"Is Sister Song so amazing? You are so lucky." Linlang suddenly coughed while talking. Ronglou beside her quickly poured a glass of water into her hand. After she finished drinking it, he said unhappily, "Don't talk while eating or sleeping. Just eat well. I won't care if you choke yourself to death."

"Don't force me to quarrel with you when I'm so happy. If you don't like it, just ignore it. I won't ask you to be responsible if I choke to death. I won't come to find you even if I turn into a ghost."

Everyone has gotten used to the way Rong Lou and Lin Lang get along. These two people always start quarreling after just three sentences. Now seeing that they are starting to dislike each other again, no one intends to stop the fight.

Because of Linlang and Ronglou, the atmosphere at the table was naturally lively and everyone was talking and laughing during the meal.

When the moon was at its zenith, everyone sat in the courtyard admiring it.

Ji Chu had just finished a piece of candied fruit when another piece of preserved fruit was passed to her lips. She swallowed the food with great effort, "Don't worry about me. I can't eat so much after just finishing my meal. Don't give me any more. I can't eat any more."

Song Jinyu turned the fruit in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth. He frowned and said, "This fruit is sour and astringent. I don't know why you like to eat it. It tastes terrible."

Song Jinyu swallowed the preserved fruit in one gulp, and when he saw Ji Chu glaring at him, he quickly put on a smile, "This taste is not bad once you get used to it, it's sour and sweet, and it's appetizing. I told you, if the Madam likes to eat something, it must be good."

Song Jinyu's reaction made the others couldn't help but laugh. Tang Mumu covered her mouth and laughed, "Only our Ah Chu can control the great playboy Song. Sir Song, aren't you afraid that the husband's authority will be weakened in the future?"

"You are the one who is not strong enough to support your wife. Everyone knows that you are obsessed with Rong Liu. Besides, your brother Tang Jingchuan is the playboy. I am a handsome and elegant man. The word playboy does not suit me."

When Song Jinyu said this, his smile was so disgusting that Tang Mumu didn't dare to look him in the face.

"Song Jinyu, sometimes I really don't understand how you can use such a pretty face to make these expressions that make people want to beat you to death. Only Ah Chu can tolerate you."

Ji Chu, who was sitting next to Song Jinyu, couldn't stand it when he heard this, "Mu Mu, don't flatter me. I can't stand Song Jinyu being mean."

When the other people at the table heard this, they were so happy that they couldn't stop talking. Tang Mumu looked around and saw that everyone was taking care of the people around them. Even the second brother and Linlang, who had always been at odds with each other, were feeding snacks to each other.

Tang Mumu looked at them, with a smile on her lips all the time, but regret revealed in her eyes. When she raised her eyes, she met Rong Yan's worried eyes. She had no choice but to hold his hand tightly and smile sweetly at him.

When it was time to break, Tang Mumu had just returned to her room and closed the door when Rong Yan grabbed her waist and pressed her against the door frame. The sudden action scared her.

Tang Mumu struggled for a moment, but failed to break free from Rong Yan's hand. She frowned slightly, "What are you doing? You scared me by doing this."

Rong Yan reduced the strength in his hands to ensure that he would not hurt her. He stared at her for a long time until she looked away. Rong Yan then said, "Mu Mu, can you tell me your plan?"

"Whatever you want to do, I'll help you."

Tang Mumu's whole body trembled, and her nose suddenly felt sour. She used a lot of effort to hold back the tears from falling.

Rong Yan immediately hugged the person in his arms and gently stroked Tang Mumu's head.

"Mumu, tell me your plan. Only if I know what you are going to do can I help you. Tell me, okay?"

Tang Mumu rested her head on Rong Yan's shoulder and hugged his waist tightly with her hands. She felt very aggrieved and pursed her lips but didn't cry out.

"Ayan, do you know how much I like you?"

Hearing this, Rong Yan immediately let the person go. Tang Mumu's hands were empty. She pursed her lips in grievance and lowered her head without looking at Rong Yan.

"That's why you have to tell me what you want to do so I can help you."

Tang Mumu kept her head down. Rong Yan hesitated for a moment, then reached out and held up her head so that she was looking at him at eye level.

Tang Mumu looked at Rong Yan, and for a moment, she wanted to tell him all her plans.

Eventually she regained her sanity.

"How much do you like me?" Tang Mumu asked again out of the blue. Rong Yan was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked back, "Don't you know how much I like you?"

"do not know."

Tang Mumu stubbornly wanted Rong Yan to answer her, but she didn't know why she had to have an answer.

"Mu Mu." Rong Yan's voice was like a warm and gentle current. Tang Mu Mu felt that just hearing his voice could calm her heart. She stared at him without blinking, patiently waiting for what he would say next.

"If you really want Father's life, I will help you."

The room was so quiet that he could hear each other's breathing. Rong Yan kept staring at the eyes of the person in his arms, eyes full of sadness and pleading.

Tang Mumu took a deep breath and met his gaze, "He is the emperor, how can you help me?"

"So you really intend to kill my father?"

"Shouldn't he die?" Tang Mumu's face was full of stubbornness, and the cold murderous intent in his eyes was not concealed at all.

After a long time, Rong Yan took a half step back, Tang Mumu also took a half step back, and the two of them kept their distance.

"Can you...give me some more time?"

"This is my own business. It has nothing to do with you. I don't want you to help me."

Rong Yan's thin lips moved slightly, and his voice was low, "Mu Mu, so are you planning to give up on me just for revenge? Are you planning to give up on the relationship between us?"

Tang Mumu raised her eyes and glared at Rong Yan, her tone a little impatient, "Who are you pretending to be affectionate for? In fact, I am not that important in your heart. I have always happily run to your side when you waved. Do you also feel that I can't live without you?"

Rong Yan frowned severely, not understanding why the situation had suddenly become so serious.

"In fact, there is nothing to ask about that question just now. Everyone knows how much I like you. I tried my best to protect you in Lingnan, and I also risked my life to protect you in Taoyuan Valley. I couldn't bear it if Prince Shun said a bad word about you, and I still..."

Tang Mumu's throat rolled over, not only his voice trembled, but his whole body began to tremble, "I thought about planting the Lianli technique when the centipede poison attacked. For your safety, I can sacrifice my own life. My master is about to die, but I still threatened him by any means."
