Because of the jade pendant incident, there was something wrong with the atmosphere at the reception banquet in the evening.
Mu Yun'an naturally discovered it, but she didn't know what happened, so she could only try to mediate in the middle.
After finally finishing the banquet, Mu Yunan hurriedly caught up with Xiao Chengyi, pulled him aside and asked: "Brother Yi, do you think the atmosphere today is weird? I think my grandmother's attitude towards your mother is not as good as before.
,That is why ah?"
Xiao Chengyi looked at her puzzled expression and explained: "My mother accidentally left a jade pendant in the old lady's room today.
That jade pendant was given to her by her father, and it also has her father's name on it. Maybe the old lady is unhappy because of this?"
"ah?"
Mu Yun'an remembered that Xin Ruyi often had a jade pendant hanging on her body. She thought it was just an ordinary object, but she didn't expect it to be a gift from her late husband.
Thinking of what she overheard in Tingfeng Courtyard before, Xin Ruyi actually didn't like her father, and she only married into the General's Mansion for Xiao Chengyi.
Her expression darkened, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Xiao Chengyi said: "This matter has passed. Don't think about it too much. It's getting late. You should go back quickly."
Mu Yun'an nodded, turned and left, but before she had gone far she heard a soft voice coming from behind: "Cousin Yi."
She hurriedly looked back and saw Shen Wanyue walking out of the old lady's yard and greeting Xiao Chengyi.
Mu Yun'an stood not far away and watched them. Because the night was a bit dark and there were shrubs blocking the road, Shen Wanyue did not notice her.
The distance between them was not very far, and Mu Yun'an could clearly hear Shen Wanyue's pleasant voice: "I heard that cousin Yi lives in Tingfeng Courtyard, and my Haitang Courtyard is also in that direction, let's go together."
Xiao Chengyi glanced at her and said in a calm voice: "Miss Cousin, do you know where Tingfeng Yuan is?"
Shen Wanyue was stunned, then explained with a smile: "It's not the first time I've been to this house, so of course I know."
Xiao Chengyi raised his eyebrows and asked, "I wonder when was the last time Miss Biao came?"
Shen Wanyue did not reply to his words, but said: "Cousin Yi, why do you call me Cousin Miss Cousin so out of sight? Didn't you call me Cousin before?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "Maybe I'm not used to it, please forgive me."
Shen Wanyue: "..."
She twisted the handkerchief and felt suffocated in her heart, but she endured it and said with a smile: "It's okay, Wan is here for the first time in the first month of the month, please ask Cousin Yi to take care of me in the future."
Saying this, he knelt down and gave a blessing.
Xiao Chengyi looked away, his voice still indifferent: "Miss Cousin, you're welcome, but I still have something to do with the general, please help yourself, Cousin!"
With that said, he turned around and headed towards the study.
Seeing that his attitude was so alienated, Shen Wanyue even refused to give her a ride. She felt depressed and unconvinced. Seeing that he was about to leave, she suddenly exclaimed: "Oh."
Her personal maid Lian Qiao quickly came forward to help her and asked: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Chengyi, who had walked a few steps away, turned around when he heard the sound and saw the maid supporting Shen Wanyue, and her expression looked a little painful.
He frowned, turned back and asked, "Is my cousin okay?"
Shen Wanyue shook her head: "It's okay, I just sprained my foot accidentally. If Cousin Yi has to go and do some work first, I'll go back first."
She motioned to Forsythia to help her leave, and her limping didn't look fake.
Forsythia felt sorry for her young lady, and she hurriedly said: "Miss, Haitang Courtyard is so far away, how can you get back like this?"
