Mu Yun'an looked at a jade pendant carved from white jade lying in the opened brocade box. She stamped her feet anxiously and stretched out her hand to hold Mu Rufeng's arm and said: "Dad, I don't want to marry anyone else. The person I like is Yi."
Brother, I won’t marry anyone but him.”
"Nonsense."
Mu Rufeng's face darkened and she scolded: "He is your brother, how can you marry him?"
Mu Yun'an was stunned for a moment, her mind a little confused. Didn't Xiao Chengyi say that her father had agreed to their matter? But why did her father have such an attitude?
She panicked, looked at her father with tearful eyes and said, "But he is not my biological brother, why can't I be with him?"
Mu Rufeng pretended to be serious and said: "Since ancient times, marriages have been ordered by parents and matchmakers. How can we allow you to marry whomever you want? Besides, you have never asked who your fiancé is. What if you are right?"
Is he satisfied?"
"I don't care who he is, but I won't marry him anyway. I want to marry you."
Mu Yun'an left these words and ran away crying.
In the Tingfeng Courtyard.
Xiao Chengyi was still sulking since he came back. He had endured it for so long and wanted to give Yan Yan a surprise, telling her that the person he was engaged to was none other than her.
However, Mu Rufeng did not cooperate with him and had some objections to him.
He was a little undecided and asked Anping, who was waiting at the side: "Do you think General Mu wants to regret his marriage? Why do I feel that he is becoming more and more displeased with me?"
Anping coughed lightly, thought for a while and said, "If the young master has a daughter in the future, maybe he will understand how General Mu feels."
Xiao Chengyi raised his eyebrows and before he could say anything, he saw Mu Yun'an running in crying: "Brother Yi." He was startled and rushed forward to ask: "Yan Yan, what's wrong with you? Who is it?
Bullied you?"
Mu Yun'an cried so hard that the pear blossoms were wet with rain, she was out of breath and couldn't say a word.
Xiao Chengyi almost felt heartbroken when he saw her like this, but he also knew that Mu Yunan was emotionally unstable at the moment, so he didn't rush to ask and just held her to comfort her.
After a while, Mu Yun'an gradually calmed down and said with an aggrieved face: "Brother Yi, dad wants to marry me to someone else."
Xiao Chengyi's eyes changed after hearing this. He frowned and asked coldly: "Who will you marry?"
Mu Yun'an shook his head: "I don't know. Dad said that my mother arranged a marriage for me when she was still alive. I have seen the tokens. What should I do, Brother Yi?"
Daddy is determined to marry me to that person, and I told him that the person I like is you, but...but he..."
Her shoulders were shaking and she was crying very sadly.
Xiao Chengyi reacted immediately after hearing her words. He held Mu Yunan's shoulders and asked, "Can you see what that token is?"
Mu Yun'an sniffed and thought for a while, "It's a white jade pendant, carved like a phoenix."
Xiao Chengyi breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard this. He looked down at Mu Yun'an and asked, "Then you didn't ask, who is the person who is engaged to you?"
Mu Yun'an said with some anger: "I don't care who he is, I won't marry him anyway."
Xiao Chengyi asked seriously: "Then if it were me, wouldn't you marry me?"
Mu Yun'an snorted and complained: "How could it be you? I'm telling you something serious, but you don't take it seriously. I'm going to die of panic, okay?"
Xiao Chengyi stretched out his hand to wipe the tears on her face and said, "Then do you want to know who the person I am engaged to is?"
Mu Yun'an blinked and heard Xiao Chengyi say with a smile: "My fiancée, her surname is Mu, a daughter from the general's palace, her nickname is Yan Yan, she and I were married at the fingertips. Back then, my mother
I left a token for that little girl’s family, which is a white jade phoenix pendant.”
