Zhou Yifu realized that whether Mu Yunhan asked him these questions today, whether he answered well or not, might affect his life.
He looked at Mu Ying not far away with some apprehension.
Mu Ying sat aside and copied something, occasionally raising her head to listen to what they were talking about, but she seemed absent-minded.
Sensing his gaze, she raised her eyes to look at him, stared at him with wide eyes, and made a playful face.
Zhou Yifu's heart suddenly beat like a drum, his throat tightened, he could hardly breathe, and the tips of his ears turned red, but he was full of joy and longing.
He stiffened his face and tightened his throat as he said, "To tell you what to say to Madam, Your Highness the Princess is much older than me. I don't know what happened when she was born.
Maybe my mother knows more, but she is not in Zhuangzi. Maybe you can tell me what you want to ask, and I will ask her clearly when I get back, and then I will write to you."
It makes sense and is a perfect answer.
But Mu Yunhan knew very well that this was not actually the case.
Zhou Yifu was not sure what she wanted to do, so although he wanted to please her, he still cautiously and steadily adopted the best method he could.
First try to find out her purpose, and then decide the content of the answer based on the quality of her purpose.
If she wants to be detrimental to Princess Huaichang and the Zhou family, she may never get the answer she wants.
"At such a young age, he behaves so impeccably."
Mu Yunhan chuckled, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Xiaoying, are you going to the kitchen to see if the meal is ready?"
Mu Ying immediately put down her pen, stood up and exited.
Zhou Yifu withdrew his eyes from Mu Ying and sat up straighter nervously.
As smart as he is, he has already noticed that something is not right with Mu Yunhan's attitude.
But before she took action against him, it was really good that she thought of letting Mu Ying leave to save him some face.
Thinking of this, he didn't even think about asking Gu Fenglin for help, but behaved more and more honestly.
Mu Yunhan said softly: "Mr. Tuesday, you must have noticed that I don't like you very much. Do you want to know why?"
Zhou Yifu raised his head and looked at her with a calm expression: "Why?"
Mu Yunhan was quite satisfied with his reaction. She hated people who always looked aggrieved.
"Because you are too smart." She said: "A person who is too smart can easily hide his true emotions and it is difficult for others to see his sincerity."
"It just so happens that I'm not a stupid person, so I know these things very well. To be honest, you only let me see your intelligence, but never let me see your sincerity."
Zhou Yifu finally showed his anxious look and couldn't help but stand up and said: "Madam, I didn't mean to deceive you. What I showed in front of you is my sincerity."
Mu Yunhan smiled faintly: "Sorry, I didn't see it. I only saw hypocrisy and distrust."
"I just asked you about Princess Huaichang because she will soon be married to Guhou Mansion and will be my sister-in-law in the future. As we all know, some very unpleasant things happened to us before.
There has been a lot of instability in Beijing recently. I want to know about her, for my own sake, for the sake of my family's safety, and also for the sake of making Sakura live a stable life.
I asked you seriously, but you ignored me? Since you chose her between me and her, you'd better go back as soon as possible."
