Chapter 1722 Mu Family’s Moves
Mu Fei Jiu looked at her father and opened her mouth, wanting to struggle. But in the end, she could only shut her mouth when she saw his gaze and unwillingly picked the needles and thread again.
Whoever invented this embroidery better not meet her.
She wanted to get angry for whoever made her had to torture herself every single day like this.
Alright, she admitted that she had no talent.
Plus, she was a bit lazy.
At this time, a servant came to them. Even if they were no longer as glorious as they used to be, there was still a servant to help them take care of some things.
“Master, Young Miss, there’s a guest from Mu Family.”
“Is it Cousin Kai Liu?”
The only one from Mu Family who has been coming to see her so far is Mu Kai Liu. Mu Fei Jiu didn’t really like this cousin of hers who was trying to take advantage of her and has purposely showed some unsightly things to make Mu Kai Liu not coming back.
Now, Mo Family is in turmoil because of her troubles and her husband was also not an easy person to mess with.
“Replying to Miss, it’s the First Master,” the servant answered nervously. She had followed Mu Fei Jiu for a long time and naturally knew about the relationship between Mu Fei Jiu and the rest of the Mu Family.
While General Mu’s children didn’t get involved in the dispute, they didn’t help either.
It was just like bystanders watching the play from the side.
Mu Fei Jiu arched her eyebrows and thought about his cousin of hers. Mu Sheng Shuang, the first young master under General Mu. He had good talents in both military and political but because of his background, he was forced by his father to enter the political path.
Should he choose the military path, his father refused to support him. For Mu Sheng Shuang, it would be better to follow the path arranged to him because it would be easier to gain foundation and everything.
“It has been a while since I see my First Cousin.” Mu Fei Jiu stood up. “In that case, let’s go and see him.”
The maidservant was confused when she saw the sweet smile on Mu Fei Jiu’s face, but she nodded and walked to lead the way.
Mu Fei Jiu actually no longer needed to act so stupidly and innocently in front of other people because it was unnecessary. But because Mu Fei Jiu preferred this way of interaction, she always kept this appearance in front of others.
lightsnοvεl She’s no longer a child?
It’s fine, she still looked like a child with the baby face on her face. Besides, there has never been any restriction that forbid them to act like a child in front of other people.
Soon, they reached the courtyard.
A man was standing still. He had tall and taut back, standing motionless like a soldier who was about to face his superior. His handsome face looked calm and there was three to four points similarity with his half brother, Mu Sheng Xi.
When the footsteps were heard, he raised his head to look at Mu Fei Jiu, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time.
Mu Fei Jiu showed a sweet smile when she saw her cousin, no matter what she was feeling inside. She had a lovely appearance and already looked more mature than in the past. Now, she was already 16 years old, the perfect age for marriage in this era.
Her steps were light and a bit playful, just like how he remembered her.
“Sister Mu Fei Jiu,” Mu Sheng Shuang greeted and cupped his fist.
“Cousin Mu Sheng Shuang~,” Mu Fei Jiu greeted back and smiled brightly. “It has been a while since the last time I see you.”
“Yes, I was busy with many things.” Mu Sheng Shuang showed a polite smile on the surface.
“Sister in law didn’t come?”
Mu Sheng Shuang got married a few years ago. At that time, General Mu had already separated Mu Family from the others, so Mu Fei Jiu didn’t come. Besides, the marriage was held in the cities under Mu Family, which was far away from the Capital City.
As an unmarried and stupid young lady, it was not convenient for Mu Fei Jiu to go.
She also didn’t want to put herself and made others impression of her was to latch onto the powerful Mu Family at that time. There was no point in relying on others if she could rely on herself.
Except if it was more beneficial for her, then Mu Fei Jiu was unwilling to put herself down.
She had her own ways of doing things.
“Mei Yue is busy to take care of the household and my children.” Mu Sheng Shuang showed a polite smile.
Mu Fei Jiu had a look of realization. Her eyes shone. “I didn’t know that you already have children, Cousin! Congratulations!”
“Thank you.” Mu Sheng Shuang looked at Mu Fei Jiu carefully. The impression of the young girl in his memory overlapped with the current Mu Fei Jiu. It was as if time didn’t make any differences in the young girl at all.
But how could it be possible?
The passage of time will always affect a person’s growth, physically and mentally.
He showed a shallow smile. “It’ll be your turn soon, Cousin Fei Jiu. I will represent Mu Family to come and congratulate you.”
Mu Fei Jiu’s eyes widened. She looked at her cousin and showed a troubled expression. “But I didn’t even come to your wedding, cousin…”
“It’s fine.”
“Then I’ll tell my father that cousin is going to be present. He will make sure that the foods are prepared enough when you come.” Mu Fei Jiu smiled brightly.
Mu Sheng Shuang’s words stuck in his throat. He was about to say that he could stay in Mu Family Residence to help, but Mu Fei Jiu’s words were clearly treating him as one of the guests.
