I promise

Chapter 838
Mu Ziyan invited Chang Qianfo to a banquet today, and made it clear that she would not be allowed to go, so Mu Dian couldn't make fun of himself.

She went to Cuihuang courtyard.

"Second brother doesn't have any wine or meat, and third brother dislikes me, so I have to come to bother elder brother." She said with a smile.

Mu Zijian wouldn't take her words seriously, and he didn't put her down.

"It's time to host a banquet to welcome you." Mu Zijian smiled gently, "I've been delaying until you come to the door by yourself, it's because my elder brother didn't do well."

The smile is polite, but also a little sincere.

After all, one mother and one sibling are brothers and sisters, so it is possible to say whether Mu Zijian feels pity for her.It's just that too many things are ahead.

Mu Zijian ordered his servants to clean up the food and drink. The brother and sister sat by the window and played chess, because they talked about Mu Lan.

"Don't blame Second Brother." Mu Dianke said, "He just has a soft heart. He can't stand Mu Lan crying and kneeling down to beg her. He doesn't really want to embarrass you."

Mu Zijian stared at the chessboard intently, without comment.

"I heard that you wrote a letter of divorce to her." Mu Dianke picked up a white chess piece, and after Mu Zijian made a move, he slowly finalized the chessboard, and said with a careless expression, "Since the love is over, let's divorce." She's fine, why bother to kill her and cause all these troubles?"

Mu Zijian raised the chess piece in the air and paused for a moment.

"Who wants to kill whom?" He asked, "Mu Lan told you so?"

Mu Dianke's eyes were slightly lowered, as if he was watching chess, but he had a panoramic view of Mu Zijian's reaction, and said with a smile: "You look so pitiful, crying to me about your ruthlessness. You said that you and your sister-in-law reunited and hated her. I also think that she lost your person a few days ago, and I want to get rid of him quickly."

There was no anger that might have been expected.

Mu Zijian actually laughed.

"I'm still surprised." He calmed down and said, "With the decisive temperament of the second younger brother, how can you turn back when you say no to kindness?"

He smiled, his eyes full of self-mockery: "I see."

Mu Dianke narrowed his eyes, "So, Mu Lan lied?"

"Does she mean that I poisoned her?"

Mu Dianke nodded: "Qianfo personally diagnosed her pulse and confirmed that she was deeply poisoned, so I don't doubt it."

"Really?" Mu Zijian asked back.

Mu Dianke raised his head, facing Mu Zijian's raised eyebrows and meaningful eyes.

"You're not a fool, little Sier." Mu Zijian said slowly, watching the chess move, "Have you never thought about why I chose to kill Mu Lan on the pine and cypress road near Mu Zijin, and why? Picking when you and Chang Qianfo are around?"

Mu Dianke smiled shyly.

"You don't believe her, you are worried that Mu Zijin will be deceived by her, so you came to test me, right?"

Mu Dianke smiled again, "Brother won't blame me, will he?"

"Why are you to blame?" Mu Zijian said, "If you hadn't come, I would still be in the dark."

"I used to hate him because of mother..." At the end of the game, Mu Zijian raised his hand to pick a piece from the chess bowl, frowning, talking about the past that he didn't want to look back, "You were all young at that time, and you didn't know her. I was magnanimous in front of others, and wiped away many tears behind my back. I was also the age of the governor, but I was not always the governor, so I angered him, and gave him so much suffering in the open and in the dark. Now that I think of it, it is ridiculous. Among the few people, the one who should not be blamed People are him, so why would he want to come to this world and have such a... family."

The person he was talking about was Mu Zijin.

The person who didn't say it was Mu Cangping.

Because they didn't want such a father, they sympathized with each other, and even the grievances accumulated over the years faded away.

Mu Dianke had mixed feelings for a moment and didn't know how to respond.

I don't know if Mu Cangping will regret seeing the current situation where father and son are separated?
Complete a game of chess relatively silently.

It is Mu Dian who can win again.

Yu Xinji silently calculates this item, she rarely meets opponents.Counting it, among those who have played chess before, only Rong Yisi is far-sighted, or slightly better than her.

Start again.

In this game, Mu Zijian was a little absent-minded.

"Little Sier," he called out suddenly, raised his head, rarely looked at her seriously and said, "Last time you said that you still want to treat me as the old big brother, do you still count?"

Mu Dianke was stunned, "Naturally." She said, "I've been working so hard."

Even though there was a gap between him and the other two elder brothers, she still tried her best to be a younger sister and protect him.

"After you left that day, I thought a lot." Mu Zijian said, "Even though I failed you a lot, you never abandoned me. I will see how you treat Zijin and Ziyan in the past month." In my eyes... I don't want to fight, I just blame myself for letting you down too many times, which makes me feel cold."

He lowered his head, his eyes full of regret and annoyance.

Mu Dian was calm on the contrary, "It's all over." She said, "From now on, live well."

"Is there still time?" Mu Zijian asked, "As before, I will be a good brother, and you are a sister who is happy and dependent on my brother?"

"Over the years, one thing I have been taught is never to rely on anyone." Mu Dianke said, "There is nothing too late. You can see what I do; I will also see what you do. Where the heart wants to go is not controlled by words, it decides by itself.”

"Thank you, little four." Mu Zijian's eyes suddenly turned red.

"You are my elder brother." Mu Dian laughed, "When given a choice, who would want to abandon their relatives and live alone?"

***
Mu Cangping was not there.

Mu Lan sits alone in the courtyard and fiddles with the pipa, mourning strings intermittently, out of tune, breathless.

It's really sad, it's not faked.

Seeing Mu Dianke approaching, Mu Lan stopped.

"How can you let me go?" Her eyelashes trembled, tears filled her eyes instantly, she was extremely timid, "I know, I was the one who was obsessed with ghosts and did many things to hurt you. It was me Wrong! I beg you, you can punish me however you want, just don’t treat me like this—”

Her voice was almost pleading, "I really love Zijin."

"How much love?" Mu Dianke said, "Love so much that you don't hesitate to risk your life to poison yourself?"

Mu Lan's teary eyes trembled, her fingers touched the strings, and the pipa in her arms made a strange sound.

"Have you visited Mu Zijian?" She sat up straight, her tears stopped, and her eyes turned cold.

"Look, this is your true face." Mu Dianke said, "You and I both know why your illness has changed your temperament drastically. It's just a fig leaf, a step that allows you to walk down decently. I I gave you a chance, Mu Lan, but you didn't want it."

"What kind of opportunity is that? Are you living with humiliation?" Mu Lan yelled angrily, then turned sad, "I just want to be with the person I like, what's wrong? You want to ruin me like this!"

"You're not wrong." Mu Dianke said, "At first I didn't want to interfere. I don't like you, but it's my second brother's life after all. He decides what to do. But you shouldn't, you shouldn't He told that kind of lie, you touched my bottom line."

"Your bottom line." Mu Lan sneered: "Mu Zijian?"

"It's you." Mu Dianke said calmly: "You have no bottom line, you have touched my bottom line."
