Chapter 27 Self-Righteous
During the first month of the year, the Mu Mansion was quite quiet. People knew that General Mu was worried about his daughter's disobedience, so they received very few invitations.

Mu Qingqing has been very quiet recently, at least she didn't cause any trouble during the New Year.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Mu Qingqing happened to go out to play. She had originally gone out with Mu Qingqian, but before they knew it, they got separated.

There are a lot of people in the capital, all of them are guessing riddles and releasing river lanterns.

Mu Qingqing, Master Lu and Qinghe walked to a small stall for guessing riddles. A group of people, many of them students, were surrounding the stall and the game seemed very intense.

Although Mu Qingqing didn't want to attract attention, the red dress was too conspicuous.

Some people unconsciously moved aside.

Mu Qingqing walked to the front. At this time, the third prince and a student were guessing riddles.

The third prince was holding a fan and looked very confident.

When Mu Qingqing saw this person, she wanted to leave immediately. After answering the question, the third prince's eyes lit up when he saw Mu Qingqing.

"Miss Mu, what a coincidence, I actually see you."

Seeing that she couldn't avoid it, Mu Qingqing just nodded lazily, "Greetings, Third Prince."

This guy likes to be high-profile the most. Other princes usually go on private visits in disguise, but he is the only one who likes to appear in public and show off his talents.

The third prince turned around and said to the stall owner, "Boss, I wonder if the answer I just guessed is correct?"

"The Third Prince is very talented, the answer is indeed so."

The students around him all showed admiration, "The Third Prince is so amazing, he is worthy of being a prince."

The third prince enjoyed the flattery from the crowd very much and replied with a few proud words. Just when he was about to turn around and show off to Mu Qingqing, he found that the person was gone.

This person is so rude. The Third Prince frowned in displeasure but continued searching among the crowd.

Finally, I saw the woman in red holding a lotus lantern and talking to the woman in black beside her, smiling brightly.

The Third Prince quickly chased after her, "Miss Mu, why did you leave so suddenly? You didn't even tell me."

Who are you? Why should I tell you? She said this in her heart, and her displeasure was also shown on her face. "The Third Prince is busy, so I naturally can't disturb him. Besides, I have already greeted you."

She wasn't in the mood to stand there and watch him brag. Wouldn't it be nice to light up lanterns instead?
The Third Prince was even more unhappy, "Miss Mu, meeting is fate, why don't we go together?"

Mu Qingqing nodded indifferently, the place on the street was not hers.

The two walked side by side, with a distance of one meter between them.

When the third prince saw a group of people in front approaching, he thought that the opportunity had come.

He said, "Miss Mu, be careful!"

He turned sideways and moved closer to Mu Qingqing, wanting to hug her in his arms, but his move was empty.

The Third Prince was so angry that he stopped hugging the man. He was about to burst out with anger. This man was really...

I couldn't find an adjective for a moment, and when I turned around, I saw Mu Qingqing's maid squatting down to tie her shoelaces.

Noticing the Third Prince's gaze, Mu Qingqing raised her head in confusion, "What's wrong with the Third Prince?"

The third prince looked embarrassed and said, "I'm fine!"

Mu Qingqing smiled in her eyes and laughed wildly in her heart. Haha, you still want to be a hero and save the beauty, but don’t you see who I am?

Walking forward again, the Third Prince finally stated his purpose, "Miss Mu, don't regret the girls' school. It was an accident. Girls don't have to go to girls' school. A girl's virtue lies in her lack of talent. She just needs to take good care of her husband and children!"

Mu Qingqing snorted coldly. In her previous life, she believed the Third Prince’s lies and thought that he really cared about her, and thus fell in love with the Third Prince.

Not in this life. She lowered her eyebrows to suppress her emotions, and when she looked up, she looked at the Third Prince with admiring and expectant eyes, "Does the Third Prince really think so? Daddy scolded me, saying that I don't know the rules and etiquette, and that I won't be able to marry a good family in the future."

"Really? I haven't even passed the exam yet, how can you tell me this? Besides, there are always people who don't care about a woman's talent, right?"

Mu Qingqing looked at the third prince expectantly, hoping to get his support.

The third prince disagreed in his heart. After all, a woman with some talents would be more pleasing to the eye. Otherwise, she would just be pretty and easily bore people.

He nodded in agreement, "Miss Mu is right. The most important thing for a woman is her inner beauty. As long as she has a kind heart, anything is fine."

Mu Qingqing's expression suddenly softened, "I knew that the Third Prince was not an ordinary person."

The rare shy look of his little daughter made the Third Prince's heart feel like it was being scratched by a cat. Although this person was crude, he was really good-looking.

Next, the two of them had a very pleasant conversation. The third prince spoke humorously, was gentle and considerate, and it was easy for him to make a good impression on people.

Mu Qingqing wanted to give people the illusion that the girl's heart was gradually leaning towards the third prince.

The third prince unknowingly told Mu Qingqing a lot of things about the academy, and looking at Mu Qingqing's admiring eyes, he almost became carried away.

I know that I am very charming and no woman can escape his gentle offensive.

The two of them unknowingly came to the edge of a small lake, surrounded by couples who were secretly having trysts.

Mu Qingqing was holding a lotus lantern in her hand, and the Third Prince said gently, "How about I accompany Miss Mu to light the lotus lantern?"

Mu Qingqing would not believe this. It didn’t matter who accompanied her to light lanterns, because her purpose was the same anyway.

"Okay, thank you, Third Prince."

Although he was accompanying Mu Qingqing to release the lotus lanterns, in order to show his gentlemanly manners, the Third Prince did not approach Mu Qingqing, but stood by and reminded her to be careful.

Mu Qingqing closed her eyes and pretended to make a wish, then put the lantern into the river. The lantern floated away little by little until it disappeared.

The Third Prince then asked, "I wonder what wish Miss Mu made?"

Mu Qingqing suddenly laughed, "This is a secret. It won't work if I tell it to you."

Mu Qingqing's wish is very simple, that is, the people around her want to die.

Haha, I don’t know when it will be realized.

The Third Prince sent the people to the vicinity of Mu Mansion. As he watched the three people leave, his expression immediately changed.

"Humph, I thought she was such a conservative woman, but she will take him down sooner or later."

He has always looked down on Mu Qingqing because when he was young, he saw Mu Qingqing beating a boy, which was very vulgar.

And Mu Qingqian is the real lady from a noble family.

It’s a pity that they are both too young. If they were two years older, the two sisters would be together. That would be a perfect match.

The third prince became distracted for a moment.

This meeting was planned by Mu Qingqing, otherwise she would not have gone out with Mu Qingqian.

Mu Qingqian got the news and immediately informed the third prince, which led to this chance encounter.

Mu Qingqing returned to the yard and still felt disgusted when she thought about the Third Prince's face.

Can you be more handsome than the King of Cold? Holding a broken fan in the middle of winter, do you think you are so cool?
"Master, how can this person be so ignorant of himself? Doesn't he think that everyone will like him just because he is an immortal?"

When Master Lu heard Mu Qingqing's complaints, a smile flashed in his eyes. The other party was probably still feeling smug.
