Seeing that Yi Lan was going to get angry with Gong E again, Mu Sen quickly smiled and said,"It's not because of Ma, it's because I wanted to eat at home today. Ma asked me to come back with him, but he didn't eat.”
Yilan knew that Mu Sen was speaking up for Gong Er. She thought that Mu Sen's return tonight was a happy occasion, so she didn't want him to spoil everyone's mood. She didn't bother about it and just held Mu Sen's hand to talk.
After a while, the servant girls had already set up the food. Mu Na also wanted to eat when he saw it, so everyone ate together, chatting and laughing happily.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Mu Qing was sitting by the brick bed, leaning on the small table and drawing flowers. She looked up at Mu Sen with her delicate skin, beautiful eyes, and peach blossom face. She smiled and said,"Don't you recognize me? Why are you standing here and looking at me?”
Musen walked to the brick bed and sat down. He put his arms around her and said with a smile,"Why do I think you look more and more like Mother? Don't tell me that we carried the wrong child back then. You're their biological daughter.”
Mu Qing was stunned when she heard that. Just as she was about to speak, she heard the words "Yi Er Ha". From the voice, she could tell that the person who spoke was extremely angry. There was fear and panic mixed in the anger. Of course, only their mother said those words. The two of them stood up. Yi Lan raised her hand and slapped Mu Sen's face. She said hatefully,"What nonsense are you spouting so early in the morning? The older you get, the more unruly you are.”
If it was this slap, Mu Sen could easily dodge it, but he didn't."Yesterday, Ma slapped me, and today you rewarded me with another one. It was just a joke. Usually, there are jokes, but they aren't angry. It's just that I'm angry.”She couldn't help but feel sad.
Yilan regretted it the moment she hit him. When she saw Mu Sen staring at her blankly, her heart softened. She quickly touched her cheek and said with heartache,"Did it hurt?"
At this moment, Mu Sen deliberately made Yilan angry and said indifferently,"What? Could it be that I was right? That's why Mother is so angry. Then who is my biological mother? I want to find her.”
Yilan was so angry that her entire body was trembling. She was speechless. She raised her hand and struck again, but Mu Sen still did not dodge.
Mu Qing was shocked at first, but when she heard Mu Sen say that, she quickly persuaded him,"Mother, don't be angry. Younger Sister was just saying it casually.”
Just as Mu Qing was speaking, Mu Sen pushed Yilan away and ran out of the house. Yilan couldn't stop her, so she angrily shouted at the people below,"What are you all standing there for? You don't have any eyesight at all. Hurry up and find it for me.”The subordinates were busy looking for him.
"Mother, don't worry. I'll go find her and ask her to apologize to you."”As he spoke, he also went out.
Of course, Mu Sen heard Yilan calling her when he left the house. However, he was so angry that he couldn't care less. He unconsciously went to the stone under the plum blossom tree beside the bridge and sat on it, letting the north wind blow. She thought,'Ever since Mother took Mu Qing as her daughter, every time she returned home, she felt that their relationship had deepened by another level, while her relationship with Mother had decreased by another level. She couldn't tell what the subtle changes were related to. It was like she had thousands of thoughts and couldn't find a clue. Now, Mu Qing was delicate and moving, and her features were like a painting. The key was that she also looked a little like Yilan. Someone said fawningly,'Madam only knows how to recognize her daughter. Why is she more like her biological daughter?'
In the past few years, Yilan had taught Mu Qing how to read, write, recite poems, and draw. She knew how to write, draw, play, embroider, and even comfort Mother when she was angry. As for herself, she spent most of her time training on the stick and had even gone out with them to carry out missions. Although she had not used her flying guillotine on those few occasions, each time she went out, it would take at most a few months, at least ten days to half a month. Due to her special status, the imperial court did not allow them to read and write. No matter how talented Yilan was, she could not teach her anything. Therefore, he couldn't write, draw, play, or embroider. He even made Mother angry from time to time.”The more she thought about it, the more she felt like an extra. Two streams of tears slowly slid down her face.
At this moment, she suddenly felt someone hit her left shoulder. She heard a man's voice," Yi Er Ha." It sounded like he was calling her, but it also sounded like he was asking her.
Mu Sen quickly lowered his head and wiped his tears. He stood up and looked back at the man. The man looked very unfamiliar. He heard him call his maiden name, so he should have recognized him before. The man saw Mu Sen's red eyes and tried to cry just now, so he smiled and said,"Why are you crying alone in this cold weather? Who provoked you? Tell me and I'll help you vent your anger.”
Musen said in embarrassment,"Who's crying? It's just that the wind has blinded my eyes.”After saying that, he was about to leave.
Seeing this, the man immediately grabbed her wrist and said,"Where are you going? We haven't seen each other for so many years. Why do you want to leave as soon as you see me?”
Mu Sen was both angry and embarrassed when a strange man grabbed his wrist. He swung his hand forcefully, wanting to shake off the man's hand. However, the more he swung, the tighter the man's grip became. He had no intention of letting go. Musen was really angry at this time. He said angrily,"Let go of me."
The man teased her,"What if I let you go and run away?”
It was the first time Musen had met such a person since he was young. He said with disdain,"Who are you?"
Seeing Mu Sen's face was like a peach blossom, the man's heart warmed. He also saw that she didn't seem to recognize him, so he couldn't help but feel extremely disappointed. He reminded her unwillingly,"Do you really not remember? That year, I helped you catch butterflies.”
Of course, Mu Sen remembered. However, she only remembered the butterfly, the beautiful blue butterfly. She did not remember the person who caught the butterfly. Since the person in front of her mentioned it, it must be him. The man's grip on her wrist tightened, almost to the point of crushing it. It was so painful that tears were about to fall. He could only say,"It's you. You're hurting me."
Not only did the man seem to be expecting something, but he also unconsciously tightened his grip on his wrist. After hearing what Musen said, he felt that it was a little rude and immediately let go. Musen took a few steps back and grabbed his wrist with his other hand. He said angrily,"If I don't recognize you, why did you come to my house?”
The man stepped forward and hit her on the forehead. Before Musen could dodge, he heard the man say,"Why are you still the same as when you were young?"
Just as Mu Sen was about to speak, he saw Mu Qing walking over. When she saw the man, her eyes lit up. Thinking that they knew each other, she held Mu Sen's hand and persuaded,"Younger Sister, let's go back. Mother is regretting it now and is so anxious that she's about to cry. She also knows that it's not Younger Sister's fault, yet she was beaten up for no reason and made you suffer.”
