The reborn prince's wife

Mrs. Mu's expression became more and more ugly. Even Mu Qingyang glanced coldly at Mrs. Lin who was beside her. Except for Liu Yun, who was still innocent and ignorant, everyone else at the table had already sensed that something was wrong.

"That's true. The annual income of ordinary people is only ten taels of silver." Dongfang Jing narrowed his eyes with a smile, "It seems that Miss Mu is not a daughter who does not eat the sufferings of the world."

Liu Yun snorted coldly and ignored him.

Seeing that the atmosphere froze slightly, Shen Yi immediately smoothed things over, "After all, it's the old lady's birthday banquet, so it's normal for Mu's residence to want to hold a big one. The money that Young Master Jing spends in the brothel on weekdays is no less expensive than the food on the table today. , why are you so fussy all of a sudden?"

The Shen family and the Dongfang family have always been friends, but the relationship between Shen Yi and Dongfang Jing was not good since they were young, perhaps because the two are of the same age and are always compared by others, so they always dislike each other .

"Mr. Shen's words are wrong. Since it's the old lady's birthday banquet, it doesn't matter if we all come to celebrate the birthday. It's just that there are a lot of guests today. If someone spreads the word, saying that a meal in Mu's residence will cost Tens of thousands of taels of silver will be passed back to the capital, and the reputation of the Mu Mansion as wealthy as an enemy will be known to the whole country." Dongfang Jing looked at Mu Qingyang seriously, "Master Mu, don't blame this junior for being too straightforward. It is also for the sake of the Mu family that I would like to remind you that the Mu family has contributed a lot to disaster relief, and the emperor also takes it to heart. But if the Mu family is really missed, then no matter how much wealth they have, they may be worth their while. .”

This is a serious statement, Dongfang Jing seems to be smiling, no one is sure if what he said is serious, and the juniors can't tell the truth, but Mu Qingyang and Mrs. Mu understand it in their hearts. What he said is indeed correct. The reason why the Mu family has the current wealth and power is because the young lady who married the Ji family back then climbed into the official power. Come.

"The third son's words are too alarmist. It's just a meal. Are we afraid of being missed by others in the Mu family?" Lan Xi couldn't help but refute. Looking aggressive, and seeing Shen Yi's ugly face, he couldn't help but say something.

"Lan Xi." Lin gave her a warning look, Lan Xi bit her lip and could only lower her head.

Ji Yanran raised her brows slightly, and her eyes fell on Dongfang Jing. As far as he knew, this guy never liked to meddle in these things, why did he act out of the ordinary today?It's interesting.

"My younger sister is young and ignorant, please forgive me, Third Young Master." Liu Yun smiled sweetly, with an unassuming attitude: "Third Young Master is not wrong, our Mu family has always acted in a low-key manner, there is indeed something wrong today, but In order to express the feelings of our juniors to grandma, it is understandable to go out of line occasionally."

After such a confrontation, Dongfang Jing smiled noncommittally and stopped talking, Shen Yi tilted his head to look at Liu Yun, but smiled and said nothing.

On the other hand, Mrs. Lin lowered her head with an ugly face, and echoed: "This time, I was indeed reckless, but please forgive me this time for the sake of my concubine's wholeheartedness in congratulating me on my birthday."

"Yes, mother, Ruyu also wants to make you happy." Mu Qingyang helped explain.

After getting down the steps, Mrs. Mu's eyes flashed brightly, and she waved her hand lovingly, "What are you talking about? How can I, a woman like me, understand so much truth, but what Young Master Dongfang said is indeed reasonable. Today everyone It's fine just to celebrate my birthday, but don't take it as an example, don't be so extravagant and wasteful in the future."

"I heard that the second son is in charge of the river repair project in Liangzhou this time. Please also ask the third son to help the old man with a word to the second son. If you need help, please send someone to tell the old man. The Mu family will do their best." Mu Qingyang He raised his glass and had a drink with Dongfang Jing.

Ji Yanran raised her eyebrows silently, she finally understood that such a big detour was actually for the river repair project, she was still wondering why Dongfang Jing suddenly became meddling, but Liangcheng is next to Linyang City, and most of the shipping around Linyang City belongs to the Mu family's industry. With the help of Mu's shipping, the repair project of Liangcheng's river will be much smoother.

Liu Yun looked at the harmonious atmosphere at the table with satisfaction. Although this incident was whitewashed, the flaw that Lin's fault had left in the old lady's heart would never pass so easily. If she If I remember correctly, the Mu Mansion later paid a lot of money for the project of repairing the river.

She doesn't know whether her father will blame Lin Shi in the future, but she knows that many things will have a subtle influence, what she wants is this kind of accumulation bit by bit, she has plenty of time to wait for the opportunity slowly, she believes so There will always be a day when many hidden dangers will explode, and at that time it will be the day when Mrs. Lin will step down.

"It's not bad to retreat to advance." Yu Chen raised the teacup, pressed it to his lips, and whispered something, only Liu Yun heard it.

Liuyun was choked unexpectedly, Yuchen smiled inaudibly, but Ji Yanran patted her on the back and kept saying that she was careless, so Mrs. Mu shook her head helplessly. .

"Speaking of which, Liuyun will reach the age of Ji in a few months." Mrs. Mu suddenly said such a sentence, which calmed down the originally heated atmosphere.

"Seeing that these ladies in the mansion are about to grow up, it's really a girl's [-]th change." Lin smiled softly, but no matter how she looked at her smile, she felt a little uncomfortable.

"That's right, if Sister Mengxian was still around, I'm afraid she would have already started making arrangements for the eldest lady's marriage." Xia Shi said out of nowhere.

When it comes to the marriage in the Mu Mansion, everyone naturally looked at Shen Yi. Originally, Mr. Shen was also going to come, but unfortunately, he has been busy with official business recently. He has been living in the suburbs for the past few days and dealt with the refugees. The birthday banquet did not appear on this day, and Shen Yi was only allowed to represent the Shen family to celebrate his birthday.

Shen Yi raised his eyes and looked at Liu Yun on the opposite side, but it was a pity that Miss Mu only cared about eating food with her head down, and didn't feel the change in the surrounding atmosphere at all.

"What's the matter?" Liu Yun looked up inexplicably, and saw that everyone was looking at her with blank eyes.

"That's right, Meng Xian is just such a pair of children, who have loved her dearly since they were young." Mu Qingyang nodded, as if thinking of his dead wife, but stared at Liu Yun in a daze.

Yan Ran suddenly took up the conversation, "Have you not talked about it yet? How did I hear that Shen Fu and Mu Fu have already had a marriage contract, haven't they settled yet?"

Liu Yun clenched her fists and tried to calm herself down. She knew that Yan Ran and Xia Shi were on her side, but the problem was that she didn't want to marry Shen Yi at all. How could she marry Shen Yi again if that person hurt her like that? Fall into his tender trap.

What's more, she didn't believe that Lan Xi would obediently give her the position of fiancee and just sit and wait.

But these are not important, the important thing is that Shen Yi is as calm as she is, as if what they are discussing is not their marriage, his calmness made her think, the experience of her previous life made her believe that Shen Yi did not want to marry her , then, how would he answer this marriage?

However, she did not expect that Shen Yi's answer would be so direct.

"Yes, my father really wants me to be engaged to the eldest lady."
