When Lu Tang and the Mu family's father and brother left the Crown Prince's residence, the sky was already dark. The half moon hung in the sky, and their shadows were stretched long.
Mu Aotian had not spoken since he left the Crown Prince's residence. He walked alone in front. Lu Tang could tell that Father Mu was angry.
She was not feeling well and had many things on her mind. She was not the real Begonia of the Mu family, so she was not as sensible and quiet as that girl. She knew that her performance today had probably shocked her father and brother of the Mu family.
However, she didn't want to hide it.
Originally, she had planned to fulfill her filial piety on behalf of the dead girl. She thought that this could be considered the best of both worlds. She was originally good at acting. She could pretend to be weak and intelligent. In this Mu family, she could not reveal any flaws.
However, after entering the Mu family, the Mu family's father had touched her and made her want to face everyone in the Mu family with her true self.
For the first time, she had the feeling of treating him with her heart.
If you treat me with sincerity, I will repay your sincerity.
Therefore, in the Crown Prince's residence, she completely let herself go.
Although the Mu family's father and brother were surprised, they did not care and pamper her at all. She was so touched that her heart was burning. When she was fighting against Di Wanye, her whole body was full of energy. However, after leaving the Crown Prince's residence, Mu family's father did not say a word to her.
Lu Tang felt a little uncomfortable. She knew that her father was really angry.
She followed behind him in low spirits.
Yuan Bao was still in Mu Xuanyun's arms, and Lu Tang's depressed mood was also seen by the two of them. Yuan Bao's heart ached for his mother, so he whispered into Mu Xuanyun's ear," First Uncle, put me down first. I'll go and see my mother."”
Little Yuan Bao said.
Mu Xuanyun nodded and put down the ingot.
The little fellow ran up to Lu Tang and held his mother's hand." Mother, are you worried about the three million gold? Are you unhappy?"”
Lu Tang shook her head. Compared to the three million taels of gold, she cared more about what her father thought.
She shook her head." It's not that. Your grandfather seems to be angry."”
Lu Tang sighed and whispered.
Yuan Bao nodded in understanding. He was smart to begin with. When he heard Lu Tang's words, he let go of her hand." Mother, Yuan Bao will go and coax Grandfather."”
As soon as he finished speaking, he ran towards Mu Aotian.
The little fellow's legs were nimble. As soon as he finished speaking, he ran towards Mu Aotian. Lu Tang did not stop him.
……
Yuan Bao ran towards Mu AoTian, leaving Mu Xuanyun and Lu Tang behind.
"Big brother, I'm sorry."
Mu Xuanyun stood by Lu Tang's side and did not say anything. Lu Tang was the first to speak about what had happened in the Crown Prince's residence today.
"Silly girl, we're family. Why are you apologizing?”
Mu Xuanyun said.
He had been waiting for this big brother for four years.
However, he was not very good at expressing his feelings. He was introverted and not good with words. He had a cold face. Even though he heard her call him 'Big Brother', which he had not seen for a long time, his heart surged, but his face still looked stern.
"It's alright. Father and Big Brother will think of a way to get the three million gold taels.”
Seeing that Lu Tang was still unhappy, he comforted her.
After thinking for a while, he raised his hand and rubbed the top of Lu Tang's head. This was a common action that he used to do when comforting his sister.
The big hand above her head was warm and generous. Everyone in the Mu family treated her very well, which made her feel even more sad. She really wasn't unhappy because of the three million gold. She would think of a way to deal with this matter herself. Even if she couldn't take out the money in the end, she would think of a way to not enter the Crown Prince's residence.
"I'm not worried about that."
Lu Tang said.
However, she still looked unhappy.
Mu Xuanyun lowered his eyes." Then why?”
He was puzzled.
Lu Tang took a deep breath." It's because of Father. He's angry, probably because he's disappointed in me.”
Lu Tang said, feeling depressed.
In the past, she was a true king in the world of thieves and writers. She was a genius girl with outstanding intelligence and was famous.
However, at this moment, she really felt that she was not as good as the deceased Begonia of the Mu family. That woman was weak but strong, with an outstanding temperament, intelligence, and tenacity. She was a true daughter of a noble family and the pride of the Mu family's father and brother.
But what about her?
Sigh…The words 'daughter of a noble family' had nothing to do with her.
Lu Haitang, who had always felt good about herself and felt that she was outstanding, fell into a deep self-denial for the first time. It was because the Mu family father she cared about was angry.
"Silly girl."
Mu Xuanyun did not expect Lu Tang to say such a thing and could not help but laugh.
He turned his head and looked at Lu Tang's side profile for a long time. He looked very serious and did not say anything for a long time.
Lu Tang felt a little weak under Mu Xuanyun's stare. She touched her face and asked deliberately,""Big brother, is there something on my face?”
she asked.
The eldest brother of the Mu family had been staring at her for a long time.
Mu Xuanyun shook his head and suddenly said," Little sister, you seem different. You seem like a different person."”
Lu Tang's heart skipped a beat.
She looked up at Mu Xuanyun.
The moonlight was enchanting, and the shadows of the trees were dancing.
Mu Xuanyun's face was a little blurry under the night sky. Lu Tang could not see the expression in his eyes clearly. Because of Mu Xuanyun's words, her heart sank inch by inch. Did he notice? Although this Mu family's eldest brother didn't speak much, he was very meticulous. Did he realize that she wasn't the real Begonia of the Mu family?
The weather in June was extremely hot and humid, but Lu Tang actually felt cold.
At this moment, her mind was in a mess. How could she forget? If he released his nature, it might make the Mu family's father and brother suspicious.
Lu Tang opened her mouth but couldn't say anything.
"Little sister, you must have suffered a lot in these four years. Father said that you lost your memories and your personality has changed. However, big brother thinks it's good. You're doing very well…"
Just as Lu Tang was at a loss for words, Mu Xuanyun spoke again.
At this moment, Lu Tang saw the look in his eyes clearly. It was a kind of tolerant and doting gaze.
"In the past, you were elegant and gentle. You were the model noble lady of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but Big Brother knows that you're tired. Now, you're doing very well. You say whatever you want and don't have to take anyone seriously.”
It was rare for Mu Xuanyun to open his mouth. Looking at Lu Tang, he said the words that he had been holding back for a long time.
Lu Tang was greatly shocked.
"Big brother, don't you hate my current personality?”
Lu Tang asked dryly. She really did not expect the Mu family's eldest brother to say such words to her. Her heart was filled with a thousand thoughts and she could not hide her joy.
"Silly girl, what are you talking about? If you took after your mother's personality before, then now you're more like your father when he was young. This is good. Our Mu family doesn't ask for wealth.”
Mu Xuanyun emphasized the words " live happily " several times. Lu Tang was almost touched to death. It turned out that she had released her nature and was more like a member of the Mu family.
"Big brother, you're so nice…"
Lu Tang was so touched that her eyes turned red. She really wanted to hug this man who looked cold and distant but was actually extremely warm in his heart.
Mu Xuanyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Lu Tang's words. This girl had learned to act coquettishly. However, his heart ached her even more. This girl had forgotten the past and naturally forgot how much her brothers doted on her.
" Girl, no matter what you've experienced and how much suffering you've suffered, this is a part of your life. Since you've forgotten the past, you don't have to think about it deliberately. You just have to remember that everyone in the Mu family loves you very much. Father, me, your second brother, and third brother..."
"Second brother, third brother…"
Lu Tang knew that Mu Xuanyun was showing her concern and comforting her from the perspective of an elder brother. He was also telling her who the relatives of the Mu Family were.
"Your second brother, Mu Lei, is now far away at the border, guarding the territory of the Great Zhou. He is the current General of the Flying Cavalry personally conferred by the Emperor and holds 200,000 soldiers in his hands. In the few years that you were missing, he has almost inquired about the border areas and has never given up looking for you.”
Lu Tang lowered her eyes and listened without interrupting. This was about the brothers of the Mu family that she had never met before. She needed to listen carefully.
Mu Lei, the second son of the Mu family, was already in charge of a large army at such a young age. He was really impressive.
"Second Brother is really amazing."
Lu Tang sighed sincerely.
Mu Xuanyun curled the corners of his lips." If your second brother knew that you praised him like this, he would definitely be very happy. Father has already sent a letter over. He should be back soon after receiving the letter.”
"Yes, big brother. What kind of person is second brother?”
Lu Tang asked. Now that she truly regarded herself as a member of the Mu family, she wanted to understand everyone in the Mu family.
"You'll know when he comes back."
At this moment, Mu Xuanyun kept them in suspense.
Lu Tang broke into laughter and her eyes curved into a smile. She thought that the second brother in the novel she wrote was a handsome man who was full of wisdom and masculinity.
" Your third brother, Mu Zhifeng, is twenty-two years old this year. He is only two years older than you and doesn't have any official position. He has been the most disobedient since he was young. He is good at horse racing, cockfighting, eating, drinking, and having fun…"
Mu Xuanyun spoke slowly. His words contained the helplessness of this elder brother towards his younger brother's stubbornness, as well as tolerance and indulgence. Lu Tang listened quietly, and the image of this Mu family's third brother was portrayed in her mind. He was a noble young master of the capital, a playboy, and unrestrained.
Speaking of this third brother, Lu Tang blinked. He was twenty-two years old this year, two years older than the Mu family's Haitang, but…she was also twenty years old this year. It had to be said that some things were really coincidental. Not only did the Mu family's Haitang look the same as her, but they were also the same age.
Was this coincidence really the will of the heavens? Otherwise, how could two people from different space-time collide with each other like this?
"My Third Brother is living a carefree life.”
Lu Tang could imagine how carefree and unrestrained this young master of the Mu family was in the capital of Great Zhou. He had a noble status and was doted on by his father and brother. He did not like the royal court and preferred the streets. This kind of life was what she liked, so she could not help but sigh.
Mu Xuanyun hummed in agreement." Yes, your Third Brother was the most disobedient one in the family. He was very good at causing trouble. Father always punished him by making him kneel in the ancestral hall. At that time, you were always secretly delivering food to him.”
As Mu Xuanyun spoke, images flashed through Lu Tang's mind. This was actually someone else's story, but other than envy, she felt as if she could empathize with him.
"What about Third Brother? Where is he now?"
