love each other

Chapter 40 The Aftermath of the Banquet

In the Qiuyue Garden, the lights were still on, and Luqiao and Zhilan were waiting for her in the courtyard. Seeing her return, Luqiao rushed up to greet her, "Miss...you are finally back."

Xiao Muyue nodded lightly.

"It's so late, Luqiao thought you and the prince would not come back."

As she said that, she looked outside again and asked curiously, "Huh? Where's the prince? Why didn't the prince come?"

Xiao Muyue curled her lips, "He is dealing with political affairs in the study tonight."

Xiao Muyue glanced at Zhilan who was standing there, "Zhilan, go to the study, I have nothing to do here."

"Then I'll fetch water for Miss to wash up." Luqiao also backed out.

In the dead of night, Xiao Muyue was lying on the bedside, but she didn't feel sleepy at all.

Are you really all right? "

However, even if Mo Qiancheng had something to do, what did it have to do with her? He sighed and turned over.

Subconsciously tightened her back, for fear of crossing the [-]th dividing line in the middle, but the next moment, she froze.

She actually felt that she wasn't used to Mo Qiancheng not being around?

When did he become a habit.

There was a mess in her mind, Xiao Muyue hurriedly shook off her thoughts, fell into a drowsy sleep.

The front hall of Xiao Mansion was brightly lit, as bright as daytime.

The light shone on the faces of everyone in the Xiao family, and it was dim, especially Xiao Yuntian who was sitting at the head, his face was so dark and ugly.

Kneeling down were the second wife and Ning Rou'er.

"Master, did Rou'er do something wrong, please calm down, Master." The second lady said softly.

Xiao Yuntian snorted coldly, "Let her speak for herself."

Ning Rou'er burst into tears, and said softly: "Uncle, Rou'er didn't do it on purpose, Rou'er was thinking of Mu Yue, if His Royal Highness exposes it, it will be too late!"

Everyone in the Xiao family was at a loss.

With a bang, Xiao Yuntian slapped his palm on the desk beside him, his face turned blue with anger, "Do you know that, you almost killed Mu Yue!"

With this sentence, everyone in the Xiao family's face changed drastically, and they all turned their eyes to the weeping woman.

Xiao Xuefeng's face turned cold, "Father, what's going on?"

His temper is most like Xiao Yuntian's. At this moment, after hearing what Xiao Yuntian said, how could he remain calm.

Not to mention Xiao Xuefeng, even Xiao Yumo narrowed his eyes slightly at this moment, sweeping past the kneeling woman lightly.

The second lady looked at Ning Rou'er in disbelief, and asked, "Rou'er, what did you do, why did you almost kill Mu Yue!"

The second lady is a typical weak woman, who had a bit of confidence in the face of Xiao Yuntian, but now she was completely ruined, and her body trembled uncontrollably from fright.

But Ning Rou'er was crying all the time, as if she had been wronged by the heavens and misunderstood by everyone, she kept crying, her tears kept falling like a flood that had been released from the gate.

Therefore, everyone looked at Xiao Yuntian, the head of the family, and waited for his punishment.

"In this case……"

"Woooo... Uncle, Rou'er knew that she had done something wrong, but Rou'er didn't know that she would become like this. It was Rou'er's fault that Rou'er didn't want her aunt to have trouble. I beg Uncle to punish Rou'er alone, and don't implicate others, woooo ..."

Ning Rou'er's pear blossoms were raining, she was so pitiful.

The second lady knew that Ning Rou'er was talking about other people, and her eyes immediately turned red.

Suddenly, there was only crying in the entire hall.

Xiao Yuntian frowned for a while, looked at Mrs. Xiao beside him, and signaled with his eyes.

Not to mention Mrs. Xiao beside her, she looked at the woman in front of her with an extremely serious face. At first, it was Mu Yue who liked Rou'er, and she agreed to her staying in Xiao's mansion. Unexpectedly, she not only almost harmed Mu Yue, but also Put the Xiao family in a state of eternal doom.

The Xiao Manor cannot keep such a woman!
"Rou'er, you have been in Xiao's residence for a year or two. All these years, Yue'er has been pulling you as a companion. Now that Yue'er has married, you are also at the age to be married. It's time to go back and prepare."

Ning Rou'er's back stiffened, was she sent back?
"In a few days, I will ask Xuefeng to prepare a generous gift, and then I will personally send you back to Ning's house."

Mrs. Xiao's voice was slightly cold. Seeing that she had been with Xiao Muyue for so long, the Xiao family not only didn't send her out, but also prepared generous gifts, showing the utmost benevolence and righteousness.

However, Ning Rou'er didn't think so, she was kicked out of Xiao's house, but everyone who attended the dinner knew about her and Xiao Muyue's matter. Leaving Xiao's house now doesn't mean telling others that she was kicked out. Go back to Ning Mansion if you have face.

Thinking about it in his heart, his face was sad, and his eyes were full of tears.

The hatred towards Xiao Muyue also became more intense.

Flame Palace.

Throughout the night, Xiao Muyue felt her heart flutter, so that when the sky just dawned, there was movement at the door, and she opened her eyes all of a sudden, and never fell asleep again after that.

Facing the bed in a daze, until the morning sun shone into the room.

Lu Qiao was holding the washbasin, and Xiao Muyue was already fully dressed.

Seeing Xiao Muyue like this, Lu Qiao's eyes widened, with an expression of the sun coming out from the west, "Miss, why did you get up so early today."

Xiao Muyue's face froze, "Maybe I want to go out for a stroll, so I woke up a little earlier."

Luqiao didn't believe it, the lady must have something to hide from her, and she couldn't escape her eyes.

After washing, it's breakfast.

During breakfast, Xiao Muyue was even more absent-minded. The spoon in her hand was poured into her mouth bit by bit, and she ate a bowl of porridge raw for more than half an hour.

Even the cold noodles that she likes to eat on weekdays, and crystal steamed dumplings and other small dishes on the table, she didn't move at all.

Of course Luqiao couldn't imagine what Xiao Muyue was thinking of writing, but Zhilan knew it.

"princess."

After Luqiao walked out, Zhilan spoke.

Snapped!
Xiao Muyue let go of her hand, and the spoon fell into the porridge bowl, "What's wrong?"

"My lord—" Zhilan trailed off.

Xiao Muyue seemed to have been stabbed in the heart, "Him?"

"My lord has been poisoned." Zhilan said.

Xiao Muyue felt uneasy, "I know, what's the matter? The palace doesn't even have an antidote!"
