Chapter 768 Don't Make Me a Joke

Mu Lan was a little taken aback. Mu Zijian's attitude was not like this when he was obedient to her.

But if he is annoyed, his expression is clearly calm.

"I ask you, where did you hear it?" Mu Zijian said again, "Who wants to fight with me? What are you fighting for?"

"Mu Zijian, do you think I'm a fool?" Mu Lan was stunned for a moment, then became sharp again: "Didn't you instigate Xin Baige and her uncle to assassinate Mu Dianke in Jiankang? Isn't it because you are afraid that the old man will give the Mu family to Mu Dianke, and you will have nothing to lose? Why are you pretending to be a brother and sister?"

Instead of being angry, Mu Zijian smiled.

"I don't know, but you still have such an ability to reach the sky." He said, "Then I might as well tell you again, because of this matter, Xinying got a slap from the old man."

"How is it possible?" Mu Lan blurted out.

It's not so much that he doesn't believe it, it's better to say that he doesn't want to believe it: How could Mu Cangping treat his old subordinate who worked hard for him like this for the sake of an unworthy woman who fought against him with all her strength?
Her position in Mu Cangping's heart is obviously not as good as Xinying's.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. In the future, you don't need to inquire about the old man's affairs. We don't know who the mastermind of the Sajin Street case is; you can't guess who the old man wants to give the Mu family. Are you Don't you think your life is too long?"

Mu Lan shivered.

Mu Dianke's triumphant return had indeed made her lose control of her emotions.

She violated Mu Cangping's taboo.

"She is your own sister, the lord's own daughter. I picked her up, so do I deserve to be bullied by her?" Seeing that being strong is not advisable, Mu Lan fell on the case, weeping, "My grievances are just Is it all in vain?"

"What is your grievance?" Mu Zijian looked at Mu Lan and said calmly.

"If you want to kill her, she only scrapes your two hands. She is benevolent and righteous. How can she bully you?" Mu Zijian's eyebrows and eyes are so serious that people can't distinguish his thoughts. "Or, you still have What other grievances?"

Of course Mu Lan was wronged.

She hated Mu Dian for pretending to be dead, but also Mu Zijin who resolutely ran away from home and abandoned her; even more hated that Mu Zijin hadn't said a word for many years, but came back after she committed herself to Mu Zijian.

These two people ruined her supposedly happy and smooth life!
But she couldn't tell Mu Zijian about these grievances.Even though Mu Zijian knew it all in his heart.

After staring at each other for a long time, Mu Zijian turned his eyes back to the pages of the book, "Take care of yourself and don't let people read the joke."

This sentence angered Mu Lan.

She moved away, waving her sleeves in an abnormal manner and yelling, "I'm afraid someone will see a joke! Don't you Mu family know about my scandal—first with my younger brother, then with my elder brother— Don’t you, Mu Zijian, know? You recruited me, pestered me, and didn’t care what you said, otherwise why would I not be a decent wife, but come to be your concubine, and even come to be humiliated by you!”

She roared hysterically, "I've been a joke for a long time!"

"It doesn't matter if you want to be a joke," Mu Zijian said, "Don't make me a joke."

Mu Lan was stunned.

Mu Zijian's tone was still gentle, and his expression was calm, but Mu Lan could smell something different from it.

Even though she is so angry now, so angry that she is about to lose her mind, she still feels that under Mu Zijian's jade-like appearance, there is a powerful force surging.Once this power is released, it can devour her to nothing.

She knew that Mu Zijian had changed after he was rescued.

But it wasn't until today that she realized that he had become so powerful that he was no longer the Mu Zijian she knew before.

Mu Lan couldn't help taking a step back.

***
Mu Yueting came over the next day, brought a large group of servants, and brought over a dozen large boxes, including four seasons clothes, rouge and gouache, hairpin jewelry, and some beautiful ornaments in the women's boudoir.

All are newly prepared.

"I'm going to marry someone else's wife soon, so I can't be so careless." Mu Yueting evenly spread the rouge on Mu Dianke's cheeks, "Look at this house, it looks like a snow cave Yes, it doesn’t look like a place where women live.”

The rouge was dyed, Mu Yueting looked at the thin layer of red on Mu Dianke's cold white cheeks, like the clouds reflecting the snow, and couldn't move his eyes.

She has always relied on her beauty, and she has to admit that although Mu Dianke's appearance is slightly inferior to hers, he has a charm and attitude that no one else can match.

With this little spirit, beauty goes to the bone.

She is not so jealous of Mu Dian now, she just feels ashamed of the past, so she wants to make up for her, "I know Mr. Chang loves you, but Junniang said that a man's heart is connected to his eyes, you can Let him feel that you are beautiful all the time, and you will only become more beautiful every day."

Jun Niang is Mu Yueting's wet nurse, Mu Dian can also recognize her, she is an extremely delicate and elegant woman.

"Got it." Mu Dianke sat at the mercy of Mu Yueting, dragging on the tone.Like when she was a child, she was impatient and wanted to push back, so she acted like a baby in a lazy manner.

Mu Yueting was stunned for a moment, her eyes were hot, she held back, and continued to apply powder on her face, "Don't think I'm wordy, I'm not as capable as you, so I can help you with these things."

"There are many places that can help." Mu Dianke said, "I'm afraid you will be annoyed."

Without thinking, she put the pot on Chang Qianfo's head, "Qianfo always dislikes me, saying that I can't comb my hair well. You have to teach me more in the future."

"How could he say that about you?" Mu Yueting raised his eyebrows in displeasure.

Bitter cauliflower was circling the long table, staring at the top-quality gouache and gold, silver and jade decorations spread out on a table, her eyes turned purple with envy, she couldn't help raising her head to take a look at Mu Dianke when she heard this.

Girl, won't your conscience hurt when you say this?

What they said clearly is that if you don't know how to comb, if he combs for you, he will not dislike anyone who lets you dishevel your hair.

Kucaihua decided that when Mu Yueting left, she would threaten Mu Dianke to tell Chang Qianfo these words, and knock a few boxes of rouge snails from her.

The set of purple gold heads embedded with gemstones is also good.

She made up her mind and went out, the first person she met was Huo An who was holding a red-tasseled gun.

After two more steps, I met Liangqing.

She thinks it's better to forget it, a few boxes of rouge and donut noodles are nothing more than expensive things.

***
In addition to sending clothes and jewelry to Mu Dianke, Mu Yueting also took out a 10 taels of silver deposit note, saying that Mu Zijian asked her to give it to Mu Dianke to buy things.

"Brother said, you just came back, and you need to buy a lot. He is a man, and he doesn't know what girls want to buy. You just talk, if you don't have enough, ask him again." Mu Yueting said.

Mu Dianke now lives here with Mu Ziyan, and Mu Ziyan is in charge of food and clothing, how can 10 taels of silver not be enough?
Mu Zijian's words are really polite.

Mu Dian thought about it. Of course, Mu Zijian gave her this money to make her feel at ease, so she wanted to be at peace of mind, because she still had a trace of guilt and pity for her sister.

There is no need to deliberately make a living with him.

After accepting the bank note, he turned around and handed it over to Yu Yi to take care of it.

She knew that Mu Ziyan was a big spender and couldn't save money. This time, in order to accommodate her, he might have even emptied his entire family.

She thought, now that she is relying on Mu Ziyan to live, and she has brought so many extra people, the daily expenses are not a small sum.

Sitting and eating like this is not an option.
