"You are a good child." The old prince patted her shoulder with relief, and then his eyes suddenly fell on Mu Nanping opposite.
Mu Nanping: "..." Why did a sudden chill run down my spine?
Sure enough, the next second the old prince began to sneer at him, "It's a shame that you are still a prince and you can't even take care of your own family affairs."
Mu Qingyan tugged on his sleeve and said, "Grandpa." The old prince's face softened instantly when he saw her, "It's okay."
No, she is afraid that something will happen to her father!
Mu Nanping suffered the loss of being mute. He couldn't express his pain and could only look at the old prince with a wry smile.
"Tell me, what's your use? I don't believe that your concubine didn't do anything. I think she is very well-informed and her legs and feet are very nimble!" The old man became more and more angry as he spoke, and at the end he glared fiercely.
One look at his son, and he didn't like that Laozi Jiang at first, he looked like a mean and mean person.
If it weren't for the fact that she carries the blood of the Mu family, I wouldn't have indulged her until now.
Mu Qingyan's face changed slightly. It turned out that her grandfather knew everything. She always thought that her grandfather didn't care about these things, but in fact he knew everything.
Mu Qingyan's expression was a little complicated.
Mu Nanping noticed her awkward expression and coughed, "Ahem."
"What? Are you embarrassed by what I said? You?" The old prince was about to continue talking when he saw something was wrong in his son's eyes. He followed his gaze and looked to his side, and was suddenly stunned.
Looking at his depressed granddaughter, the old prince panicked, stopped talking quickly, looked at her carefully and asked: "Yan'er?"
Mu Qingyan then raised her eyes as if she had regained consciousness. She was a little surprised. Looking at the two pairs of eyes staring at her, she felt like she had nothing to hide. She quickly said: "Grandpa, father, I'm going back first."
The old prince frowned, "How long have you been here before you have to go back?" Can't you spend more time with him?
Mu Qingyan was about to speak, but was interrupted by a sentence at the door, "Grandpa! Little sister!"
In an instant, three eyes looked at the young master in blue brocade robe at the door. One could tell at a glance that the young master's eyebrows were somewhat similar to Qing Yan's, only more sharp.
The person who came was none other than Mu Nanping's eldest son and Mu Qingyan's brother Mu Xuan.
"Brother!" Mu Qingyan was the most excited and stood up and ran towards him.
Mu Xuan was very surprised by the young girl's enthusiasm, but he still caught her honestly, then quickly checked her up and down, and said in an urgent tone: "I heard you are injured, let me take a look?"
Mu Qingyan shook her head, all the joy on her face overflowed, and said softly: "I'm fine."
Mu Xuan still didn't believe it. After carefully checking it, he breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at the two people in the room.
He approached with his little sister and bowed politely, "Grandpa, father."
Mu Nanping's reaction was mediocre and he nodded calmly, but the old prince was different.
He directly asked him to sit down and asked, "Are you back so early?"
Hearing this, Mu Xuan glanced at his sister beside him and smiled sheepishly, "Time is running out, I can't wait any longer."
He was originally sent out by his father to do some work, but he received a letter from Mu Qi on his way back. He rushed back immediately, only to tire out his good horse.
Mu Qingyan felt warm in her heart. Her brother always treated her very well. Seeing his tired appearance, she couldn't help but feel distressed, so she thoughtfully poured him a cup of hot tea.
"elder brother."
Mu Xuan turned around and took the water from her, and also rubbed her head with a loving smile on his face.
"Grandpa, I'm going back to my room first." She stood up and looked at them obediently.
Grandpa's heart is like a bright mirror, and his granddaughter is naturally as smart as him.
Mu Xuan was a little reluctant to let her go. He had just seen his little sister and hadn't asked about the matter carefully yet, "Young sister won't stay?"
Mu Qingyan hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips slightly, and looked tentatively at the old prince. It was very clear in her eyes that she also wanted to stay, but is she okay?
In the past, her brother would have to explain some things when he came back from an outing, but she would usually avoid them intentionally. After all, there were some things that she, a prostitute, was not suitable to hear.
But it was obvious that she was overthinking, and the old prince wished she would listen more.
Mu Nanping nodded and said: "We are all family members, there is no need to avoid suspicion."
After hearing this, Mu Qingyan sat back down and listened quietly to the conversation of the three men next to Mu Xuan.
She felt very uncomfortable in her heart. In the past, she always thought that although her father doted on her, she was still a daughter.
Now that I think about it carefully, it's just that she's overthinking...
Her father and grandfather also loved her very much.
Mu Xuan was the first to notice her change in mood. Although he listened to the old prince's words, his worried eyes stayed on Mu Qingyan.
Mu Nanping also noticed something strange about her, and couldn't help but feel a little worried, "Yan'er?" Could it be that what happened last night gave Yan'er a big blow?
"Huh?" Mu Qingyan came back to her senses only to find three pairs of eyes staring at her. She felt embarrassed and said casually: "I'm a little hungry."
It turned out that he was hungry. The old prince slapped his thigh and immediately asked the people outside to go to the dining room.
"It's already this hour and you haven't eaten yet?" Mu Nanping expressed doubts, and Mu Qingyan smiled sheepishly. She couldn't say that she got up late and missed the meal.
Mu Xuan didn't think anything of it, and looked at her fondly, "Then you'll be with me." He didn't have time at all, and he happened to be accompanied by his little sister.
…
After everything was discussed, Mu Xuan went back and changed his clothes before coming back to have dinner with Mu Qingyan.
At the dinner table, the old prince kept serving dishes to the two brothers and sisters, and Mu Xuan gave them to his sister, so there was a considerable amount in her bowl.
Such a heartwarming scene made Mu Qingyan's nose sore, and she buried herself in eating silently. In this life, she would never let them down!
The thoughts of revenge in my heart became stronger.
While they were talking, the topic suddenly came to Mu Qingyan. The old prince looked at Mu Nanping dissatisfied and said with a hint of blame, "If you hadn't insisted on letting Yan'er practice martial arts, how could this have happened?
thing?"
Even though they are now civil servants, the things in their hearts will not change. The Mu family has been generals for generations, and their style has always been the same.
If the Holy Sage had not taken back the Mu family's military power due to fear of the military power of the Mu family and made an exception and granted him the title of Prime Minister in the year of Yan'er's birth, they would still be wanton and unrestrained military commanders today.
Yan'er doesn't live so cautiously.
At least that's what the old prince thinks. A military commander should have the demeanor of a military commander. It's a pity that he now bears the name of a prince and is suppressed by the Holy One.
Otherwise, he would definitely teach Yan'er some good kung fu.
Mu Nanping coughed awkwardly and said helplessly: "Father, after all, Yan'er has a marriage contract with the prince, and I don't want Yan'er to be discussed because of this."
Chen Guo did not like women practicing martial arts. Yan'er's status was special, and he could not let his daughter get involved in rumors.
The old prince didn't buy it and turned his head and snorted coldly, couldn't he learn it secretly?
It was an unintentional sentence, but it caused thousands of ripples in Mu Qingyan's heart.
