Xiao Qi stayed for half an hour before he left.

Mu Qianyu did not ask where he was going.

Xiao Qi couldn't stay idle any longer. He might have gone out to fight with someone, and maybe his master too.

It had been a long time since she last saw that old man. She wondered how he was living, how many people had been tortured to death by him.

Yue Zhu and Yue Ying had already brought the food over.

After eating a few bites, An Xiang who was sent out returned.

Fu Ying was not ready yet, so naturally she could not go out. Therefore, only An Xiang, who was by her side, could use him.

"Have you found out what happened today?"

Mu Qianyu asked while eating.

"In reply to Master's words, it has already been investigated. Earlier, the Madame Wang had already let out news that she wanted to marry you, and that there were actually quite a few of the other madams that came to see you in the name of the banquet. It was said that all of the young masters and elders wanted to marry you, and with the help of the Madame Wang, they invited the matchmaker to propose marriage."

An Xiang stood at the side and replied respectfully: "But from what this subordinate knows, there were initially quite a few people who came, and there are also quite a few young masters of prominent families who called for matchmakers to propose marriage. However, all of them were stopped by the Madame Wang, and the remaining few were all chosen by her."

After listening to An Xiang's explanation, Mu Qianyu finally understood.

Madame Wang would first take care of those good ones, so that she wouldn't marry a good family and leave behind a bunch of ordinary shrimp soldiers and crab generals. No matter which one she chose, they would all be ordinary married off and wouldn't be able to cause a ruckus in the future.

As for why would he leave these people behind, one reason was that if he really married out, she would be able to let go of her worries, so that she would not have to run to the Prince Li Palace.

Secondly, even if he couldn't get married, if he were to casually say something like this and get those people to pass on the news, his reputation would be ruined. In the future, even if he wanted to get married, it would be difficult.

Madame Wang had a good plan.

Who knew that Xiao Qi would suddenly appear?

But even if Xiao Qi came, there would probably be many more rumors spreading tomorrow.

He definitely had to say something about marrying someone from the Enter The Li Palace or Prince Qi Palace or something like that.

But in the end, this had destroyed Madame Wang's original plan.

Having thought through this point, Mu Qianyu could not help but sneer.

This Madame Wang really didn't let her catch her breath.

Consort Li did not harm her, and she used this move again.

Wasn't this woman too idle?

Mu Qianyu was annoyed by these things. She went to practice her whip skills, then left the house.

The weather gradually turned warm and the streets became lively.

She might as well go out for a walk so as not to get bothered by these things.

In a few days, it would be the Hundred Flowers Festival. There were already people who came to Shengjing to do business abroad, so they left their stalls ahead of time.

"This tea set is not bad, Yue Zhu, what do you think about brewing tea using this set?"

Walking blindly to the stall that sold tea sets, Mu Qianyu fell in love with a set of purple sandalwood wood and stone tea set.

The craftsmanship was very exquisite. Its appearance was smooth and exquisite, and it felt quite nice to the touch. The natural veined patterns on the inside were also very beautiful.

You can tell at a glance what you like.

Yue Zhu nodded her head: "This set of tea set is very good, furthermore, the fish and stone tea set is much more fragrant and pleasing to the nose than other sets of tea sets."

"You two ladies have good taste and are not wrong. This tungsten wood fish tea set is not something other tea sets can compare with, moreover, our set of tea sets are made from high quality wood fish stone. If young miss likes it then you can buy it, otherwise it would be a pity to miss it."

Seeing that Mu Qianyu was extremely fond of the tea set, the stall owner naturally smiled and greeted the customers.

"Boss, how much silver does this tea set cost? I'll give it to you."

Mu Qianyu was just about to ask for the price, but unfortunately, someone already asked, and even prepared to take out the silver.

He couldn't help but feel infuriated. Didn't he see that she had already taken a fancy to this tea set? She wasn't polite enough to try and snatch it from a lady.

Turning his head, he saw that a person had already squeezed his way over, smiling foolishly.

"Why is it you?"

Mu Qianyu frowned slightly, she looked at Xue Junyu who squeezed in with slight annoyance, why was this person here?

Originally, she couldn't remember who he was.

Now that he remembered it all at once, it was all thanks to Madame Wu.

"I... I came out for a walk. "

Xue Junyu stuttered, scratched his head in embarrassment: "No … He never thought that Third Miss would be so happy to meet him here … Do you like this tea set? I don't know if I have this … This... This honor, I can buy it and send you off … Send... for the Third Miss. "

It was just a sentence, but it took a long time.

The servant beside Xue Junyu, Ming Hui, followed behind, looking at his young master in surprise. His young master was not stuttering, what was going on?

Hearing this, Mu Qianyu's head hurt, and she immediately asked: "Young Master Xue, were you born stuttering?"

Yue Zhu and Yue Ying looked at each other. Young miss, at least give Young Master Xue some face.

In truth, Mu Qianyu did not want to make things difficult for him previously, but of course she would not bother with him.

She was not familiar with this person, furthermore, she did not like that Xue Qihua.

It was clear that Xue Qihua came here yesterday to help her brother.

Yet, this person called on the matchmaker today to propose marriage. This was a bit of a setback for her.

Therefore, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that Young Master Xue was not pleasing to her eyes.

Sure enough, when he said that, Xue Junyu's expression immediately froze, his face was full of awkwardness, and his palms were even so tense that they were sweating.

Especially when she saw Mu Qianyu's sharp gaze, her mind swayed, and she didn't know what to say.

He quickly shifted his gaze away and lowered his head. After calming himself down, he said: "I'm sorry, I've let you down."

He was so angry that he could barely speak.

"Young master, do you still want this tea set?"

The stall owner was very smart and asked Xue Junyu.

It was obvious that if this young master wanted to please that lady, he would definitely pay for the tea set.

"Yes, of course."

Xue Junyu regained his senses and anxiously nodded his head. Then, he carefully looked at Mu Qianyu and asked: "Can I?"

Mu Qianyu turned her face away in disgust, there must be something wrong with her head.

"Shui Yao, pay up. I, County Princess, will take the tea set."

Before the booth owner could say a price, a sharp female voice rang out and a silver ingot was tossed over.

Mu Qianyu squinted her eyes, and before the silver could fall into the hands of the vendor, she grabbed the silver ingot.

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Third Miss doesn't have any money left, why are you snatching our County Princess's money?"

The servant girl who had just thrown silver at the stall saw Mu Qianyu's actions and laughed. Her words were sharp and sarcastic, completely disfiguring her delicate and pretty face.

Standing beside the young maid was Xie Yu Princess Pan Yurou, whom she had met once before.

It was just one side, but it seemed to have become enemies.

Mu Qianyu raised her eyebrows and glanced at Pan Yurou. She was dressed in a pink peonies with a flowery top, a dress of the same color, and a green silk sash around her waist.

After the Flowers Enjoying Meeting ended, didn't he fall from the carriage? How was it fine now that he could go out now?

From the looks of it, it wasn't that bad. After all, she should have been killed that day on the carriage because of her light hands and feet.
