But fortunately, I have already gained honor and favor in front of His Majesty, and I don't have to rely on the eldest princess in the future, but I still have to do the drama that needs to be done.
The eldest princess is dead, how can she, as a niece, not fulfill her filial piety?
And that's why she came to see him.
...
In the general's mansion.
Because of Xin Ruyi's "death", the family did not prepare a family banquet, so the people in the Mu family's main room simply sat together and had a meal. However, during the dinner, Xiao Chengyi frequently glanced at Mu Rufeng.
Mu Rufeng pretended not to see it and finished the meal slowly. After leaving the Qingzhu Pavilion, Xiao Chengyi, who was a little out of breath, kept coughing to remind him.
Mu Yun'an, who didn't know why, asked with concern: "Brother Yi, are you sick?"
Xiao Chengyi felt a little stuffy: "No, it's just that my throat feels uncomfortable."
Mu Rufeng glanced at him and said, "Since you feel uncomfortable, go back and rest early. Yan Yan can just send me back."
Xiao Chengyi: "..."
He felt that Mu Rufeng did it on purpose, but his father-in-law couldn't afford to offend this person, so he had no choice but to swallow his breath and go back first.
But as soon as he left, Mu Yun'an's heart also flew away.
After sending Mu Rufeng to the yard, she said impatiently: "Dad, you have a good rest, I'll go back first."
As he said that, he turned around and left.
But Mu Rufeng stopped her and said: "It's still early, come in and have a cup of tea with me. It's been a while since we, father and daughter, had a good chat."
Seeing this, Mu Yun'an could only bite the bullet and follow him into the room.
Seeing her absent-minded look, Mu Rufeng felt a little angry in her heart. She didn't know what tricks that brat Xiao Chengyi used to charm his daughter into such a state.
The sweetheart he had raised and raised was just taken away by Xiao Chengyi, and this brat even hid the news about Yan Yan's engagement, hoping that he would give Yan Yan a surprise.
But he doesn't.
Mu Rufeng picked up the tea cup and drank it slowly. Mu Yunan on the side asked anxiously: "Dad, don't you want to chat with me? You should say so."
"What are you in a hurry for?"
Mu Rufeng glanced at her, then put down the tea cup in his hand and said, "It's your birthday next month, and I should tell you something."
Mu Yunan blinked and asked curiously: "What's the matter?"
Mu Rufeng said: "When your mother was still alive, she arranged a marriage for you. Now it's time to prepare for the marriage."
Mu Yun'an was startled when she heard this. She stood up suddenly and said, "Marriage? I'm engaged? But why have I never heard you mention it before?"
Even in her previous life, she had never heard of it, so why did a marriage happen?
Mu Rufeng said seriously: "That's because you are young and I was afraid of the psychological burden on you when I mentioned this, so I never told you. But now that you have grown up, you should know."
As he said that, he stood up and took out a brocade box from the secret compartment of the bookcase, put it on the table, opened it and said, "This is a token, please keep it safely."
