Chapter 47
Mu Junyao's face darkened, and suddenly he heard a woman change the subject, "But——if any woman marries you, the Duke..."

The Duke raised his eyebrows, the coldness in his eyes dissipated, and he was a little awakened, "How?"

Ji Chuxiao spread his hands, "That must put you, the Duke, first. Why would you want to seduce the Earl?"

"Really?" He squinted at her.

Someone patted his chest and promised, "Of course!"

"Follow me closely, or you will be bullied and don't say I didn't save you." The man said coldly, holding the hand of the woman beside him expressionlessly.

Ji Chuxiao's eyes fell on the back of his hand, subconsciously wanting to withdraw his hand, but he held it tighter, the texture and temperature of his palm clearly transmitted through the skin.

Some followed his footsteps in a daze, and walked down the golden spiral staircase step by step, and there was a lot of clothes and temples underneath.

Hearing the movement upstairs, everyone's eyes swept over.

Ji Chuxiao could clearly feel that there were countless eyes from below who wanted to crucify her to death.

Nothing is stronger than the one standing next to the old lady.

These gazes forced her to be even more proud, she raised her chin slightly, took Mu Junyao's arm with more force, and deliberately pressed against him.

But she didn't expect the man beside her to wrap her arms around her waist and lock her tightly in his arms.

"It seems that the rumors are true, the Duke really dotes on his wife."

"The Duchess is actually very beautiful!"

"Even Princess Yilin may not be more attractive than her, this black dress suits her well!"

……

Ji Chuxiao heard all the whispers below, and couldn't help quietly looking at the old lady surrounded by everyone.

She was sitting at the highest position like a queen mother, maintaining a faint smile without showing any emotion.

Mu Junyao led her through the crowd and walked straight to the old lady.

The hall became much quieter for a while, and everyone was staring at the old lady's reaction.

"No wonder you came down so late, and you are dressed in a gorgeous way." The voice was slightly old, but the words he said were enough to make the whole audience quiet. This was the posture of the old lady of Duke Castle.

Ji Chuxiao has always known the status of this old lady, the old duke died long ago.

Her son is extremely powerful in country Z, and her grandson has pushed the family to the top.

So she has always used the state of looking down to see sentient beings.

In her previous life, in her impression, apart from giving a little love to the juniors in the family, this old lady almost only really loved Mu Junyao, her grandson.

"Grandma, my sister-in-law has always counted the time based on my brother's favor. If you weren't here, I don't think I would have seen my sister-in-law today." Ye Sunian was beating the back of the old lady from behind, looking like a small follower.

Ji Chuxiao remained silent, turned slightly sideways, and stood quietly beside Mu Junyao.

But when Mu Junyao walked up to the old lady, leaned over and said something, the old lady immediately smiled.

His eyes turned around Ji Chuxiao, and finally took another look at Mu Junyao, and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy!"

Others didn't know what Mu Junyao said, but they also knew that the old lady was not angry anymore.

Maybe because of Mu Junyao's relationship, he treats this young lady favorably.

Ye Sunian almost gritted her silver teeth, she was close just now, but she listened to all Mu Junyao's words.

He says……
