In order to stay informed, it is common for the master of the house to recruit several servants to act as spies. This is a common method.
But the servants in each yard are different.
If you are not loyal to your master and do things for others, someone must have paid them off.
What did Mu Wan do to bribe the people in her yard? Why are you trying to win over the people in grandma's yard?
Is it possible that everyone is so reserved and I am the only one who is too naive?
Mu Yan's brows furrowed tightly, "If you want to know whether it's Hongqiang or Yuwei, just try it and you'll find out!"
Pu Cao asked: "How to try?"
Mu Yan said: "I shouldn't have gone to the second room to vent my anger on Jiumei that day. You go and prepare some good things. I'm going to apologize to Jiumei."
Pu Cao was stunned for a moment, "Yes, I'll go right away."
Mu Yan looked at Pu Liu again, "You go find Hongqiang and Yuwei respectively, and tell Hongqiang that I feel unhappy, and I went to the second room to trouble Jiumei. You and Yuwei will change your story."
Pu Liu's eyes lit up, "This slave understands."
Mu Yan saw the two girls going to work, but she still sat in her original position, holding the tea cup and taking a sip. The faint fragrance of tea flowed into her throat and went down, but it failed to calm the irritability in her heart.
She and Mu Wan are twin sisters, but they are different in appearance and temperament.
To outsiders, Mu Wan appears to be gentle and kind, but she is tough and mean.
However, few people know that her domineering attitude is actually because she does not want to admit that she is not as smart as Mu Wan.
If Mu Wan was close to her, she wouldn't mind if the other party was more thoughtful than her. However, Mu Wan always wanted to step on her and take advantage, and she would only realize later that she had suffered a loss.
This feeling is really annoying!
This time, Mu Wan didn't know what the purpose was, but he was playing tricks on her again!
Mu Yan took a deep breath, put the tea cup down heavily, and made a clanging sound. Seeing Cattail coming back, she asked, "Are the things ready?"
Pu Cao nodded, "I have chosen a few things, let the girl take a look."
Mu Yan took a quick look and nodded, "Let's go then. Pu Liu will stay and watch the people in the yard."
"Yes, girl."
Mu Yao liked cedar, so she moved a few small pine trees as tall as a person into her yard and placed them together with rocks and red clay stoves, which was very interesting.
Mu Yan entered the courtyard and stroked her hands on the green pine needles.
Mu Yao heard the girl's reply and came out just in time to see this scene. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "You can count the number of times Seventh Sister has come to my yard on one hand. I wonder why you came to see me today?"
Seeing that she didn't want to talk to him, Mu Yan didn't raise her chin high and look down at the second roommate like she usually did. Instead, she said in a slightly apologetic tone: "Jiu Mei, it was my fault that day. I came to trouble you for nothing, and I’m here to apologize.”
Mu Yao had already had a bad relationship with Li Qingyi and knew that her two twin sisters were in competition. Seeing her different attitude, she was not surprised, "Seventh sister is rarely so polite. Please come in."
Mu Yan's attitude today is surprisingly good, but she is the most domineering person in the house, so when she entered the house, the maids served tea and fruits and then stepped aside. She lowered her head and did not dare to look around for fear of touching her. This bad guy just hopes that she is not here to cause trouble.
Mu Yao said calmly, "What does the Seventh Sister want from me?"
Mu Yan raised her eyes and looked at Mu Yao.
The second wife was not popular in the house, so they often pushed against Mu Yao. Mu Yao never quarreled with them and always had a bad face.
When Mu Yan saw her expression at this time, she felt it was much more pleasing to the eye than Mu Wan.
She suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart, took a box from Pu Cao and handed it over: "This is an apology to Ninth Sister."
"apologize?"
Mu Yan nodded, "I am here to sincerely apologize to Jiumei. I hope you can forgive my sister for her past mistakes and rudeness."
Mu Yao looked closely at Mu Yan's expression and really felt that she was different from before, and said: "If sister is sincere, there is no reason for sister not to accept it."
This was the first time Mu Yan spoke honestly to others, and she felt so relaxed that she couldn't help but smile.
Mu Yao was really surprised when she looked at her appearance.
It seemed that she was really stimulated by Mu Wan.
Just as he was thinking about it, a voice suddenly came from outside. The tone seemed a little urgent. Mu Yao raised her eyes and ordered: "Yuanshan, go and see what's going on outside."
Yuan Shan agreed, and just as he was about to take steps, the second lady, Yang, had already rushed into the room, "Yao'er!"
"Mother? Why do you look in a hurry? What happened?"
Yang looked her up and down and was relieved to see that she was fine. When he saw Mu Yan in a blink of an eye, he asked in a cold voice, "What is Xiaoqi doing here?"
Mu Yan stood up and saluted: "Second Aunt."
Yang looked at her and then at her daughter. There seemed to be no quarrel or anything, and she felt a little puzzled.
At this time, Mrs. Mu also came in supported by the third lady Nian.
Mu Yao knew without guessing that it was Mu Wan who was acting as a monster. She pretended to be surprised and said, "Grandma, why are you here?"
The old lady looked at Mu Yan and saw that her expression was calm. There seemed to be no unpleasantness between the two sisters. Just as she was about to speak, Mu Wan, who was following Nian, stepped in, stepped forward, grabbed Mu Yao's hand, and stroked it. Her hair looked like she felt sorry for her sister: "Jiu Mei, are you okay?"
Pu Cao, who was standing next to Mu Yan, suddenly turned ugly when he heard this.
Mu Yan remained calm, just smiled and asked, "What do you think will happen to Bamei?"
After hearing this, Mu Wan turned to look at her and saw that she was not angry at all and was still smiling. Her face suddenly froze and she realized that things seemed to be different from what she thought: "I... I thought..."
The old lady had a sullen face and said dissatisfied: "You mobilized all the troops and called everyone here, saying that Yan'er and Yao'er had a quarrel. Are you making it up?"
Nian frowned slightly and asked Mu Yan, "Yan'er, what are you doing here?"
"What does mother think I'm doing here?"
Nian choked and looked at Mu Wan with a frown.
Mu Wan's face turned red, "I thought my elder sister and my ninth sister were quarreling, so I went to ask my grandmother to persuade her, but my mother and second aunt were both there, so we came together..."
What a coincidence.
Mu Yan smiled softly: "Bamei is really thoughtful, but... I don't understand what Bamei means when she says that I had a quarrel with Ninth Sister?"
Mu Wan looked at her blankly and said nothing.
Mu Yan just looked at her with a faint smile. Mu Wan felt weak and let go of Mu Yao's hand.
Mu Yao had had enough of the sisters' quarrels and stepped forward to explain to Mu Yan: "Grandma, mother, you have misunderstood. The seventh sister is here to apologize to me."
As she spoke, she showed the box in her hand to everyone. The contents inside were all exquisite and rare, which showed her sincerity.
There was silence in the room for a moment. Mrs. Mu glanced at Mu Wan and said to Mu Yao, "It's okay. You and your seventh sister will go to Changqingyuan to have dinner with me in a while."
Mu Yao glanced at Mu Yan and said, "Yes, grandma."
Yang was even more puzzled. After everyone left, she pulled Mu Yao and looked up and down again: "Your seventh sister is really not angry?"
Mu Yao smiled and said: "It is true that people can only grow when they are frustrated. Sister Seven has already dug holes for people!"
