Chapter 775 No longer the person you most admire
It was two days later that Mu Dian learned about the commotion in the Mu family's mansion from Liao Shiqi.Mu Ziyan didn't mention a word.

She felt both comforted and moved.

Since she returned to Luoyang, Mu Ziyan has been standing in front of her: blocking those who came to visit with malicious intentions for her, and endless disputes between her and the people in the Mu family's house...it must be hard work Yes, it is even more impossible not to be wronged.

But these things, Mu Ziyan never mentioned them in front of her.

It's night stars are pale, and there is no wave in the autumn silver Han.

Mu Dianke sat in the yard, watching the autumn wind picking up leaves, and the fireflies gliding across the stone steps at a few o'clock, but he didn't feel sleepy.

In the distance, where the wind and lanterns can't reach, the dark tree shadows are shaking, and there is the sound of sharpening knives, which breaks the night sky very finely, quite rhythmically, making the night even more silent.

No matter what happened, Mu Dian could follow the sound through the vertical flower gate, and walked a few steps along the inclined path, and saw Mu Ziyan sitting on the edge of the well with his sleeves rolled up, sharpening his knife.

The "Danghuang" knife with a wide back and a thick ridge flipped in Mu Ziyan's palms with a cold and clear light, splashing like a moon.

Mu Dian could walk over and sit on the ground like Mu Ziyan.

The place where the two of them sat side by side was a narrow grass field beside the well platform. At this time, the grass leaves were all withered and yellow, but it was dry.

Mu Dian didn't speak, and neither did Mu Ziyan.

One sharpened the knife while the other watched silently.

This scene was something Mu Dian had never expected.

——Many people, many things, which she never thought about or expected before, all happened in reality.

Let her always have such a moment, inexplicably want to cry.

"My third brother is really a good man from Yingwei."

Mu Dianke looked at Mu Ziyan who was concentrating on sharpening the knife under the moon, and saw the bulging muscles of his forearm tightened with the grinding movement. He felt that he was strong and powerful, as if he was standing upright, and said sincerely, " Third sister-in-law is really blessed to marry you."

Mu Ziyan made a mistake, looked up at Mu Dianke with disgust, "Did you take the wrong medicine?"

With thick eyebrows raised, he asked again, "Is there anything you can ask me?"

Mu Dian was distracted by Mu Ziyan's concise and crisp words, thinking that if he were a thousand Buddhas, he would definitely not be as boring as him, even if he didn't praise her as a beautiful and gentle woman, Will also be happy.

Speaking of which, she hadn't seen Thousand Buddhas for several days.

She shook her head, and after a while, she said softly, "Third brother, I heard that you had a dispute with the Qingshan old house."

"Who has such a long mouth?" Mu Ziyan asked without raising his head.

"You are facing me and offending them, I am very happy."

Mu Dianke looked down at his feet, and his eyelashes flickered a few times, "Third brother, if I say that there are people in the old house who went to the Jin family to kill people, and I want to kill them, do you think I'm too cruel?" gone?"

Mu Ziyan paused for a while, and continued to sharpen the knife in his hand, "You will always be my sister." He said.

Mu Dianke's nose pierced, and he couldn't bear the soreness in his heart any longer. He left and hugged Mu Ziyan's generous shoulders, "Thank you, third brother."

Those people didn't ask her why, but only accused her, saying that she was cruel, bloodthirsty, and a witch.

She was dreamed by Mu Lan's pipa and was almost put to death, but once she started to fight back, Mu Zijian would only be disappointed with her and question why she became so ruthless.

She was really afraid that Mu Ziyan would think the same way.

Mu Ziyan's back stiffened obviously. Since the reunion, Mu Dianke's situation is not good, but he has never been like today, showing him his softness and fragility.

He kept bending over and let Mu Dianke lie on his back for a long time.

Of the three brothers, he was the most impatient.Even when Mu Dianke was a child, he never carried her on his back.

Probably at that time, there were too many people who doted on her, if he didn't protect her, there would always be someone else to protect her.But now, she is really lonely and weak.

Mu Dian must have cried.

When Mu Ziyan turned around, he saw that there was water in her eyes, and she was evasive, not wanting him to see it.

"It's really heavy!" Mu Ziyan frowned, and stretched his shoulders loosely, "It doesn't look fat, it looks like an iron lump."

Mu Dian was ridiculous and ignored his disgust.

"Third brother, you have such a bad temper, why is third sister-in-law willing to marry you?"

Mu Ziyan: ...

Wasn't he still Yingwei's good man just now?

Sure enough, women's minds become faster.It's the one in his family, outsiders all praise their good temper, and they talk in a different tune after a while, turning faster than a windmill.

Mu Ziyan put Danghuang on the stone trough by the well, picked up the water urn and poured it on the blade to clean it.He sat down again, put the knife across his legs, and wiped it slowly with white silk.

"Little Si'er, for you, what kind of man is you lucky to marry?"

Mu Ziyan suddenly restrained his face, and asked with an unusually deep expression, "Chang Qianfo...is that what you want?"

Mu Dianke was slightly taken aback, wondering why Mu Ziyan asked such a question.

To her, Chang Qian Buddha is the greatest encounter in this life that cannot be sought, and of course it is what she wants.

She blushed slightly and nodded her head.

The desolation is sheathed, and the blue light is restrained.

Mu Ziyan's eyes were deep and difficult to discern under the moonlight, and he smiled suddenly, the corners of his mouth were a little bit astringent, but more of a reassurance.

"It seems that I think too much."

He lowered his head, held the handle of the knife with one hand, stroked the sheath with five fingers, and rubbed it back and forth, as if he was stuck in a certain long-term memory and couldn't get out.

After a long time, he spoke, the sadness in his hoarse voice could not be concealed,
"Sometimes, when I hold this knife, I will think of the story Jin Yanchen told me about it at that time—that bright, confident, and unrestrained appearance!
The same is learning knives, he learns faster than me, and he will stop teaching me... He is two years older than me, but he seems to understand everything and can do everything very well. He is the one who admires..."

Until one day, his most respected and beloved cousin came back from the dead and returned to the Central Plains.

He abandoned his sister.

He even abandoned the ideals in his heart and became a sinner who harmed the country and the people.

Mu Dian was silent.

She knows Jin Yanchen's suffering best, and also understands that he has to change to become what he is today.But no matter how many difficulties there are, they have changed after all.

He is no longer her hero, nor can he be the person Mu Ziyan admires the most.

"What are you talking about!"

Mu Ziyan was only upset for a while, and then changed back to that rough and unrestrained look:
"It's good that you know what you want. If you want to marry, I will definitely let you do it. Although your son-in-law is soft and naughty—"

He curled his lips, "Excellent! I still don't like him."

Mu Dianke was still immersed in the shyness of wanting to marry but not marrying, Mu Ziyan jumped up and walked away with a knife in hand.

"Hey--"

Mu Dianke yelled angrily at the back of Mu Ziyan striding away, "Why do you say that about him? How can you be soft - you don't know him at all - you are so soft!"

"Good Lord..."

Walking in front of Liang Qing in the promenade flickering with wind and lanterns, Mu Dian felt a little apprehensive.

"I won't tell the young master." Liang Qing said: "A man's heroism lies not in his appearance, but in his firmness and flexibility in his heart."

Mu Dian could hear Liangqing's words and knew that he was very angry.

When did Liangqing take the initiative to say such a long word.

With their own thoughts, the two silently walked through the remaining section of the long corridor.
