This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

“I met…, the person you want to see most in your mind at this moment.” Qi Muyuan’s playful words spread throughout the courtyard with the breeze.

Peach blossoms rustled down and floated with some dreams.

However, because of Qi Muyuan’s words, at this moment, there were several cracks and ripples on the lake of the calm heart of Qi Liange, whose face had always looked cool.

Qi Muyuan’s words resounded again and again in his brain.

“I met the person you want to see most in your mind at this moment.”

“I met the person you want to see most in your mind at this moment.”

The lingering sound resounded in his ears. Qi Liange looked up quickly, the originally gentle peach-blossom-like eyes of whom were brewing a storm at this moment.

Qi Muyuan looked at her brother’s appearance at this moment and was shocked in her mind.

She always knew what kind of person her brother was, but no matter how angry he was, he would not show his emotions on his face directly. His gentle peach-blossom-like eyes were always calm and gentle, and no one had ever seen the storm inside his eyes.

But at this moment, Qi Muyuan unexpectedly saw the manic storm.

There was some fear in her heart.

“Brother…, you…” Qi Muyuan looked at Qi Liange and wanted to say something but stopped.

And Qi Liange also completely came to his mind because of Qi Muyuan’s slightly trembling voice.

“Eh-hem… My lovely sister, how do you know who I want to see at the moment?” Qi Liange coughed faintly, and the storm in those beautiful peach-blossom-like eyes had disappeared without a trace.

Qi Muyuan looked at Qi Liange who had hidden his emotions so quickly and felt a little sad in her mind.

This was the pain of being born in a royal family. No matter what you did and what kind of mood you had, you couldn’t light up with pleasure so obviously, and you couldn’t show any flaw or let anyone see it.

Even if that person…, was the closest person to you.

In the same way, Qi Muyuan hid her emotions and looked at the man who had been calm already as if the person beside her just now was not him.

“Brother…, you don’t need to pretend to be an idiot in front of me. I really met the person you want to see most! She saved me! So, I could come back safely!” Qi Muyuan looked at Qi Liange seriously and said.

Qi Liange listened to Qi Muyuan’s words. His peach-blossom-like eyes blinked quietly and calmly, and then he said lightly, “Where did you meet her?”

Qi Muyuan knew that Qi Liange must know who the person in her words was so that he asked this.

“In Chengxi Dynasty, I was surrounded by people of Liujiabao near Yangzhou. It was she who saved me when passing by! Brother, I like her so much! You must bring her back to be my sister-in-law!” Qi Muyuan jumped to the side of Qi Liange happily and said excitedly.

Qi Liange looked at his sister like this, sighing softly in his mind, but with some joy.

“These words can only be said in front of me and must not be heard by others. It will be dangerous to her.” Qi Liange looked at his sister beside him and ordered lightly.

Qi Muyuan certainly knew Qi Liange’s thoughts and nodded earnestly. “Of course, I know! But brother…, once that woman knows that you like her, will she do anything out of line to Aoxue?”

Qi Liange certainly understood Qi Muyuan’s mind, but he knew Qi Muyuan’s concern was right. He also knew in his mind that his sister liked Bai Aoxue from the deep part of her mind.

“If it is that woman, you don’t have to care about her. I believe she can’t stir up any waves. Even if she wants to do so, I will cruelly kill and eradicate it!” Qi Liange looked at Qi Muyuan and said lightly.

His appearance with much confidence made Qi Muyuan trust him from the deep part of her mind.

“I originally planned to come back with Aoxue this time, but you called me back so quickly that I had to leave them in Mountain Qing.” Qi Muyuan looked at Qi Liange and complained.

“Them?” Of course, Qi Liange recognized the meaning of Qi Muyuan’s words and murmured.

“Yes! Aoxue and the 5th prince! They should be the people from Chengxi Dynasty to Nanyue Dynasty to congratulate you on your succession this time. The man in a mask should be the person who married Aoxue, right? I don’t think he is as incompetent as people in the world rumored. At first glance, he looked very imposing!” Qi Muyuan said all at once but did not find that when she mentioned Jun Yeyan, Qi Liange’s expression instantly turned gloomy.

“You mean that the man in a mask is with Aoxue?” Qi Liange asked with a seemingly unconcerned look.

But his clenched fists had already revealed his mood at this moment.

“Yes! When I met Aoxue at first, she was just with him. Later, they went to Yangzhou, and I followed them. The masked man cared about Aoxue very much, and he followed Aoxue wherever she went. Aoxue didn’t seem to hate him.” Qi Muyuan looked at Qi Liange with some concern and said.

Although…, she hoped that Aoxue could become her sister-in-law, what about her brother if Aoxue really liked the 5th prince? What would her brother do?

She hoped her brother and Aoxue could be happy, but if they were not happy together, how should she choose?

“Then they didn’t go with you. So, where did they go?” Qi Liange gave Qi Muyuan an unintentional glance and asked lightly.

Qi Muyuan listened to Qi Liange’s words, and she instantly came to her senses, not thinking that she would be absent just now.

“Aoxue said she would go to Ye Capital to spend the Water Lantern Festival, so she would come later but would not be late. I have been back from Yangzhou for several months, and they should be on their way to Nanyue Dynasty.” Qi Muyuan pondered carefully and then said slowly.

Qi Liange listened to Qi Muyuan’s words. Then he raised the corners of his mouth gently with a smile and said lightly, “Water Lantern Festival?”

“Yes! Water Lantern Festival. If you hadn’t asked me to come back so urgently, I would have gone with them! I also want to go to visit the Water Lantern Festival very much! The Falling Flower Festival in Yangzhou is also very beautiful!” Qi Muyuan said in spirits.

In her tone, she also complained about the thing that Qi Liange had asked her to come back.

“You have the mind to complain about me. So, in your words, is it my fault that you couldn’t go with them?” Qi Liange gave Qi Muyuan a sidelong glance and said as if he did not care.

Qi Muyuan made a cold shiver at once due to the cool tone of Qi Liange. She was not clear about others, but she was very clear about her brother. As long as her brother spoke in this tone, it was time for him to trick others!

“I don’t blame my brother. Now that I have come back earlier, I can get everything ready earlier and wait for Aoxue’s coming. So, I can greet her.” Qi Muyuan quickly explained.

“Crown Prince…, Princess…, Princess, you are back!” Just as Qi Liange was about to speak, a woman’s voice suddenly came in, with some joy.

Qi Liange and Qi Muyuan frowned with no trace at the same time and already knew who was coming.

“What are you doing here? Don’t you forget my command that no one can enter Lian Xue Yard at will except Muyuan! It is true of you, my crown princess…” Qi Liange looked at the woman who had already stepped into the courtyard with his head leaning slightly and said indifferently.

The woman who had just stepped into the courtyard was stunned and looked at Qi Liange with some grievances.

“Crown Prince, Zi Xi just heard that Princess came back. I was so happy in my mind that I came over to have a look. At that moment, I forgot your order.” The woman named Zi Xi looked at Qi Liange aggrievedly. Then she looked at Qi Muyuan and whispered.

Qi Muyuan looked at Zi Xi’s appearance, with her eyes turned slightly, and smiled gently. She said, “Thank you, Sister Zi Xi, for your concern. I, as the princess, am back soundly now. So, Sister Zi Xi, you can leave first since you have seen me. My brother and I still have something to talk about.”

Qi Liange looked at his sister’s naughty appearance but did not mean to rebuke her. Instead, he looked at the woman named Zi Xi and said lightly, “Go back first. Muyuan has just returned and is a little tired. If you have anything, it is not too late to see her after Muyuan has a good rest.”

With her eyes lowered, the woman at the gate of the courtyard concealed her hatred secretly, and her slender fingers hidden in her sleeves were tightly clenched. Her fingernails stuck into her palms, but she did not feel any pain at all.

“I know. In this case, I will retire first.” The woman breathed gently. When she looked up again, her eyes only glistened with tears, completely losing the appearance when her eyes were lowered.

Qi Muyuan watched the woman leave and continued to twitter, telling in Qi Liange’s ear what she saw and heard. Of course, Bai Aoxue was indispensable among these things.

However, Qi Liange listened to what Qi Muyuan saw and heard and listened to the things about Bai Aoxue. The corners of his mouth were raised gently.

Aoxue, finally…, finally, I could see you again.

This time…, you could only be mine!

What Qi Muyuan and Qi Liange did not know was that a one-sided torture was taking place in a remote courtyard that they could not see.

“Damn Qi Muyuan! Damn Qi Muyuan!” The woman’s eyes were very red, and a whip was lashed out at a maidservant lying on the ground fiercely.

“Ah! Miss, forgive me! Forgive me!” The maidservant begged for mercy in pain.

But she didn’t know that it would anger the woman.

“Miss? Hmm? Who am I? I’ll kill you!” The woman glowered and roared.

Obviously, without a well-behaved and gentle appearance which she showed just now in front of Qi Liange, at this moment, the woman was like a demon in hell, as if she would kill anyone at any time.

“Ah! Crown Princess, forgive me! I am wrong! Please forgive me this time!” The maidservant’s cry in pain did not arouse any pity from the woman at all.

Yes, at this time, the woman who was like a demon demanding lives from others was Zi Xi who just entered Lian Xue Yard and came out without Qi Muyuan and Qi Liange.

At this time, Zi Xi had completely lost her well-behaved and gentle appearance, as malicious as a devil!

Listening to maidservant’s pleading for mercy and cries in pain, Zi Xi didn’t have any sympathy and didn’t mean to let maidservant go. Instead, Zi Xi lashed more and more atrociously.

None of the maidservants on the side dared to come forward to beg for mercy. They just looked coldly at the maidservant who was in the same dress as them and was beaten by Zi Xi to gradually lose her vitality.

Although this maidservant was just a little careless to accidentally break one of Zi Xi’s favorite dresses and did not make any fatal mistake, they had no way to intercede for her or defend her by saying that the dress was the one which Zi Xi asked her to throw away yesterday.

They could only watch the maidservant slowly close her eyes in pain.

Looking at the maidservant who did not dodge or even cry, lying motionlessly on the ground, she dropped the long whip in her hand with a cold snort.

As if becoming inured to the unusual, she said, “Take the rubbish out of the mansion quietly and throw her into a mass grave. She is really weak and frail. It is just a few whips that killed her easily! Indeed, she is a waste as expected!”

After saying, Zi Xi turned to look at the maidservant beside her and said lightly, “Chun Mei, go and help me figure out where Qi Muyuan, the little bitch, has been and who she has seen!”
