For three days, Mu Yunjin stayed inside the Glass Spring Pavilion and did not go out a single step. The daily food is brought by Zi Xiang.
In these three days, Chu Li again seemed to vanish in thin air, not a trace can be seen.
"Xiaojie, news just came from the Xiang Fu. The eldest young master will marry in three days' time."
Zi Xiang informed her as she hurriedly opened the door for morning meals.
Mu Yunjin is changing her clothes, she looked at Zi Xiang in surprise.
"Three days? That soon?"
"Yes, that is what this servant heard."
Zi Xiang replied.
Hearing the news, Mu Yunjin hurriedly opened her mouth to Zi Xiang.
"Quickly, help me comb my hair. I want to go to Xiang Fu."
"Yes, Young Miss."
After half an hour, the carriage stopped in front of the Xiang Fu's gates. Mu Yunjin, as if on fire, urgently jumped out of the carriage and walked inside the Xiang Fu.
At this time, inside the Front Hall of the Xiang Fu, Mu Xiang and Luo Ningyu are sitting, holding a red book and discussing some things.
Seeing Mu Yunjin is back, the two people were not surprised.
"Yunjin is back."
Mu Yunjin nodded.
"I heard eldest brother is getting married after three days?"
"Yes ah, it is so sudden that I am here to discuss with your Third Mother about the details of the wedding."
Mu Xiang smiled.
"Which family's young lady is it?"
Mu Yunjin curiously asked. Luo Ningyu smiled.
"Grand Tutor Zhuang's granddaughter, Yuyan."
Zhuang Yuyan?
Mu Yunjin is surprised, her eyes slightly changed.
"Where is Eldest brother?"
"In his pavilion."
"I'll go and see him."
Mu Yunjin replied.
Mu Yunjin went towards Mu Yunhan's loft and halfway she saw Mu Yunhan sitting in the garden pavilion having tea.
"Brother."
Mu Yunjin cried out.
When Mu Yunhan heard her voice, he was startled. He turned around and saw Mu Yunjin and smiled.
"You came."
Mu Yunjin walked past Mu Yunhan and sat down, she stared at him.
"You and the Zhuang family's young lady know each other?"
"Not acquainted."
Mu Yunhan shook his head.
"Then, why are you suddenly marrying her? Also, getting married after three days? Why are you anxious?"
Mu Yunjin is flabbergasted.
Mu Yunhan smiled and indifferently replied.
"I secretly received news, this afternoon, Chu Qingqiang will go ask the Emperor to grant a marriage with me as the Prince Consort. I knew Grand Tutor Zhuang privately and he previously wanted to matchmake me and Zhuang Yuyan. He personally arranged the wedding plans."
Hearing Mu Yunhan's words, Mu Yunjin faintly raised an eyebrow.
"You are already a step earlier than Chu Qingqiang and had announced the news of your wedding. At this moment, I don't know if Chu Qingqiang is angry or almost losing her mind."
"This is out of my control, compared with Chu Qingqiang, I can accept Zhuang Yuyan more."
Mu Yunhan humbly replied, his eyes containing a mild worry.
Mu Yunjin slightly sighed.
"You and I are born within the Xiang gates. Today, this marriage is beyond our control. I only hope that this Young lady Zhuang is a good person."
"En."
Mu Yunhan nodded.
Just as they finished talking, they heard footsteps hurrying over. Soon, they saw Chu Qingqiang wearing a green skirt. Chu Qingqiang is extremely angry as she walked over. As soon as she saw Mu Yunhan, she started talking sternly.
"Mu Yunhan, you are not allowed to marry Zhuang Yuyan!"
Seeing Chu Qingqiang rush in with intentions to condemn, Mu Yunjin faintly smiled towards Mu Yunhan.
Mu Yunhan got up and holding both his hands, bowed in ceremony at Chu Qingqiang and smiled.
"Greetings to the Fifth Princess."
"Yunhan, why are you suddenly marrying Yuyan?"
Chu Qingqiang slightly restrained her temper and approached a few steps toward Mu Yunhan.
"I am already in marriageable age, and as it turns out Yuyan's behavior and appearance are all in my regard. It seems that it is reason enough to get married."
Mu Yunhan replied laughing.
Chu Qingqiang bit her lip and sneered.
"What if this princess won't allow it?"
"What is the princess' reason?"
Mu Yunhan asked.
"You are an intelligent man. You ought to know that this princess has feelings for you. Mu Yunhan, this princess will absolutely not let you marry other women."
Chu Qingqiang's eyes are filled with arrogance.
When Mu Yunjin heard her words she was speechless for a few moments.
"Fifth jie, you shouldn't be like this, Older brother and Yuyan jie's wedding is already announced. How can you take it back?"
Chu Qingqiang glared at Mu Yunjin.
"You have no say in here!"
Suddenly, Chu Qingqiang raised her head and looked at Mu Yunhan.
"If you want to marry Zhuang Yuyan, it is possible, but she can only be a concubine."
"Your first wife can only be this princess."
When Mu Yunhan heard this, his complexion turned a bit black.
"Fifth Princess, why should you pester endlessly? Do you think you won't get married? Besides, letting Yuyan jie become a concubine, do you think the Grand Tutor will agree?"
Mu Yunjin cynically asked. According to what she knows, the Grand tutor has served two reigns and was the emperor's teacher. He was deeply respected by the emperor. He is very influential here in Xi Yuan Country.
Mu Yunhan took the olive branch that Grand Tutor has thrown, presumably because the position of the Zhuang family in Xi Yuan country will be able to suppress the arrogant and willful Chu Qingqiang.
Chu Qingqiang's complexion changed when she heard Mu Yunjin's words. It really hit the core of her problem. She wanted to personally look for the emperor but thinking about it, the emperor will surely not agree with her to meddle with the Mu family and Zhuang family's marriage. But looking at the man she fawned with great difficulty, and will soon take a wife, she really felt anger that it is unbearable.
"Yunhan, do you really not care even a bit for this princess?"
Chu Qingqiang froze for a long while staring at Mu Yunhan.
Mu Yunhan clasped his hand and bent his body to bow.
"It is Yunhan's good fortune that is weak, I believe that princess will surely meet the person you are fated with."
"Heh, a fated person….."
Chu Qingqiang sneered. Her eyes lingered a bit before looking around. Her line of sight fell on Mu Yunjin and her eyes flashed with hate.
Soon after, she brushed away her sleeves and turned to leave.
On the way out of the Xiang fu, Chu Qingqiang had malicious eyes. She looked at her servant.
"Wan Xiu, this Zhuang Yuyan is normally close to whose family daughter?"
"It seems to be the Wen family's Young Miss Wen…."
Seeing that Chu Qingqiang easily went away, Mu Yunhan glanced at Mu Yunjin.
"Little girl, nowadays you have a sharp mouth, your skills are truly perfect."
"For safety purposes, I think that in these three days, it is better for Zhuang Yuyan to live close to the Fu."
"Jealous women are very scary."
Mu Yunjin grinned as she looked at Mu Yunhan.
Mu Yunhan sighed and nodded.
……….
After Mu Yunjin came out of the Xiang Fu, she is about to take a seat at the Huangzi Fu's carriage and leave, when she unexpectedly heard Wan Xiu's voice.
"Liu Huangzifei, the princess wishes to have a heart-to-heart talk with you."
Mu Yunjin paused, she discovered that Chu Qingqiang's carriage is still in front of the Xiang Fu's gates and had not left at all.
Dismissing any thoughts, she walked over.
Behind, Zi Xiang pulled at Mu Yunjin's sleeves and looked a little worried for Mu Yunjin.
"I'm not afraid."
Mu Yunjin turned to reassure Zi Xiang.
After Mu Yunjin entered Chu Qingqiang's carriage, she saw Chu Qingqiang sitting inside, looking at Mu Yunjin with disdain.
Mu Yunjin found a vacant place to sit on, and just as she sat down the carriage started to move.
"What does the Fifth Princess want to say to me?"
Mu Yunjin coldly got to the point.
Looking at Mu Yunjin, Chu Qingqiang sneered.
"Mu Yunjin, are you meddling with this princess and your brother's matter?"
"Fifth Princess thinks too much."
Mu Yunjin lowered her eyes.
"This princess looks at you and your brother's good relationship and feels a little surprised. You are all born of the same parents, but Yunhan does not seem to be close to the number one talented girl Mu Lingzhu. Instead, he is close to an idiot like you. Is it possible that third brother is right and that for so many years, the rumors about you in Butterfly Flower City are all false?"
Mu Yunjin leaned against the carriage, although she did not understand Chu Qingqiang's point, she still mildly laughed.
"It is just a rumor going around, one cannot see whether it is true or false."
"Heh, good, one cannot see if it is true or false."
Chu Qingqiang ridiculously laughed at her words.
"Do you really believe that now that you married Chu Li your days can be peaceful?"
"Fifth Princess, why don't you put forth the legendary Miss Qin?"
Mu Yunjin raised an eyebrow.
Chu Qingqiang saw Mu Yunjin's complacent attitude, her anger became more extreme. The corner of her mouth squeezed out a mocking smile.
"No, no need for Muyue to deal with you. Mu Yunjin, this princess is enough!"
"Princess, we're here."
Wan Xiu's voice came from outside.
The carriage stopped.
Mu Yunjin slightly frowned, she pushed the carriage curtain and saw that the carriage stopped in front of a remote house.
Mu Yunjin walked out of the carriage, looked around, and found out that outside the house is practically a piece of wasteland. Inside the house, there seem to be a room that was tightly closed.
Zi Xiang approached Mu Yunjin and timidly opened her mouth.
"Miss, this servant saw that the road had more and more deviated. I wanted to tell you but Wan Xiu won't let me speak."
When Zi Xiang's words fell, the door of the house opened and a beautifully dressed woman came out followed by ten sturdy-looking men.
"Paying respect to the Fifth Princess."
The woman directly paid homage to Chu Qingqiang.
Chu Qingqiang hooked the corner of her lips and looked at Mu Yunjin with killing intent.
"Mu Yunjin, this princess is not a fool, this princess knew that Mu Yunhan's marriage is your idea."
"You dare to scheme against this princess, I will let you have a taste of this princess' ferociousness."
"Li Niang, today I have brought you a good product, that will definitely become your Flower Moon House's number one commodity."
Chu Qingqiang pouted playfully as she looked at Li Niang and chuckled.
Hearing Chu Qingqiang's words, Zi Xiang trembled in fear and grabbed Mu Yunjin's clothes. She did not expect that Chu Qingqiang is casually saying that her Young Miss will be sent to a brothel.
"Many thanks to princess' business. Li Niang's Flower Moon House is prosperous for many years thanks to the Fifth Princess' backing."
Li Niang giddily laughed as she looked at Mu Yunjin's stunning appearance.
"Fifth Princess, you can't do this, how can you explain this to Liu huangzi?"
Zi Xiang knelt and begged.
"Liu Huangzi is oddly not around. This princess is also anxious."
Chu Qingqiang showed a face that is feeling great pity.
Mu Yunjin crossed her arms and looked at this crazy Chu Qingqiang.
She knows that this woman is doing this because she is blinded by the matter with Mu Yunhan. It's just that she is an imperial princess, and should be living like one. But it turns out that she has private dealings with a brothel.
Isn't she afraid that if this matter is revealed, she will become the disgrace of the royal family?
Chu Qingqiang, you are digging your own grave!
