Chen Mu took a deep breath, glanced at Chen Qingyun, and said unhappily: Who said he had let me down?

Between her and Lu Jinfeng, the man was unmarried and the woman was unmarried, so they didn't have much relationship in the first place, right?

Initially, she wanted to make Lu Jinfeng happy as a daughter-in-law, but since Lu Jinfeng's sickness had already healed, then she would have to make him happy, and her mission would be complete. She stayed in the Lu family to do business with Lu Jinfeng later on, and that was in the name of a contract partnership to communicate with her. Even if Lu Jinfeng failed to control his urge to puberty and confessed to her a few times, so what?

In the end, the two of them were still pure and innocent. It was true that there was a marriage agreement between them.

Say no engagement... And no. After all, back then, she was the one who instigated Lu Jinfeng to write the declaration to cut off all relations.

She and he were two completely unrelated people. To put it more intimately, they were business partners, relatives living under the same roof, and goddaughter that his mother, Madam Li, had taken in. But in the end, they were just two strangers.

After all, right now, she was at loggerheads with Madam Li and the rest.

Chen Qingyun's current anger did not make her feel that he was loyal, instead, it made her feel like she had met a fool.

Why didn't she bring up the topic? She didn't want to bring up that ungrateful brat at all!

Let him quietly have a good chat with his mother's master, and run in front of her to brush away any feelings of existence for no reason at all.

When Chen Qingyun saw Chen Mu's expression, he felt a little unresigned and suspicious. "Him marrying another person would be letting you down. You guys obviously have an engagement, but why aren't you sad at all when you hear this news?"

"Why should I be sad? He and I aren't real husband and wife. We haven't even paid respects to each other." Chen Mu glanced at him. "You've been living in that village for quite some time already. Don't you know what kind of relationship I have with that family? It's just because I called Madam Li my mother, that's why I live under the same roof. "

He paused for a moment, and then sneered. "The two of them were unrelated to begin with, but he didn't promise me anything when it came to marriage. Now that he has a better career ahead of him, what's there to be angry about?" You, too, always throw a tantrum and lose my face for nothing.

"But …" Chen Qingyun was dumbstruck, as he never thought that Chen Mu would give such an explanation. He seemed to understand the situation, but he also felt that something was amiss with Chen Mu's words. He wanted to retort, but he didn't know what to say in that instant.

"No buts, I know more than you when I'm outside. You have to listen to me." Chen Mu's face darkened as he spoke, "If you can't be obedient, then you can just wander around by yourself, wherever you like. You're already 14 or 15 years old, if you're not a child, I don't believe you don't have the ability to survive."

Hearing that Chen Mu Mu wanted to abandon him and run away, Chen Qingyun swallowed back the words that were about to leave his mouth.

He was following her every step because he wanted to protect her. If he angered her, then all the hard work he had put in during this period of time would be for naught.

Moreover, what he had learned from Chen Mu Mu was something that he would never be able to learn while wandering the world.

Some of the more imposing aura and knowledge could only be comprehended by following Chen Mu Mu Mu. Not only was she his sister, she was also his mentor. How could she be willing to leave at this moment?

As he thought of this, even though he was filled with rage, he could only forcefully suppress his rage and quietly swallow it down.

Qin Tianli glanced at Chen Qingyun, then looked at Chen Mu Mu with a smile that was not a smile, and said: "Your person, is rather obedient to you."

"So you're envious?" Chen Mu Mu glanced at him coldly, "There's no use in being envious. Teaching your own sister requires your ability, I can't teach you."

Qin Tiansei choked and opened his mouth, exhaling a breath of air. "Fine. Since you're not in a good mood, then I won't bother with you."

Chen Mu Mu Mu's mood was indeed not that high. She only chuckled twice and ignored him. Her gaze once again landed on Xu Yanran, and an indescribable bitterness arose in her heart.

Moreover, living under the same roof, meeting each other every day for almost every second of the day, they were always together. Joy and sharing, sadness and sharing, gains and losses together, such feelings, they would always be built up bit by bit when they were not paying attention.

In the beginning, she didn't have any feelings for Lu Jinfeng, she only treated him as a grumpy brat. Then, after a series of events, he gradually matured … However, in her eyes, it was also a feeling of "my family having a child that has just matured", not love.

But he was growing up, and he was getting more and more good-looking, and his temper was getting better and better, and he was also getting better and better to her. She was a lonely and lonely person, but she suddenly met someone who was still willing to be nice to her even though she didn't take advantage of the situation, and she didn't have to worry about being betrayed.

Besides, he had not given her no promises at all.

He had confessed to her that he liked her, that he would wait for her to come to her senses, that he would love her alone and never leave her for the rest of his life.

She was a woman, too. Even if she was stronger, she was a woman. She lacked love and longed for it.

But when she found herself with the intention to sprout, he did not treasure it. Just like the Madam Li, she had ruthlessly trampled her heart.

Was he really afraid that she would affect his position as the heir to the North King Palace, or that she would affect his prosperity, like how North King treated Mo Qin back then?

Unfortunately, he was not Chu Lin, and she was not Mo Qin either. If he didn't stop now, it would only cause more and more damage to him.

In any case, it was just the beginning of their relationship. They hadn't reached the stage where they could talk about love. In any case, they didn't have the hands to handle it … Everything was fine. He could start from the beginning, pretend to be a stranger, and not care about anything else.

Just think of him as an adolescent who had just begun to have feelings for her. Just think of her as a withered tree that had just bloomed in spring and was eating a handful of young grass. Once things were done, it would be over.

To go like a dream without a trace was a difficult thing to bear at first, but nothing could withstand the onslaught of time, so she would eventually forget.

Chen Mu Mu Mu heaved a sigh of relief as he exhaled out the gloom that was hidden in his heart, and his expression quickly returned to its normal state.

In front of them, Feng Lingxi and Xu Yanran had yet to finish their banter. The white-clothed man had a slight headache as he interrupted the two and said, "In such a large crowd, can you two tell me about it in the future?"

One of them was the daughter of a general, the other was the young miss of the government office.

Aristocratic families all wanted face. Even if they didn't want it, they did need the family background and father backing them.

When they heard the white clothed man's words, Feng Lingxi and Xu Yanran finally stopped their dispute. Xu Yanran's brows were knit together and her expression was one of displeasure. However, she ultimately did not say anything. Feng Lingxi stared at the white clothed man as something quickly flashed through her eyes. She said: "You still haven't told me who you are?"

If he dared to interfere with their business, he should at least announce his name.

The white clothed man was startled for a moment, his eyes glanced towards Feng Ling Xi, and seeing that Feng Ling Xi truly did not recognize him, something flew by in his eyes, he cupped his fists and said: "I am Xu Xun, third brother of Yanran."

"So it's the young master of Shang Shu Manor!" Feng Lingxi immediately lost her temper, "When I saw you stirring up trouble earlier, I thought you were some kind of good person. What's going on? Using numbers to bully someone with numbers, are you planning to gang up on me? "

She laughed coldly at Xu Xun, and like an exploding lion, her entire body was on guard, "Come, I, General Wei Yuan's household, will rather die than submit. I want to see how your Xu family will bully a weak girl like me with so many people!"

"Young Miss Feng." Xu Xun was also helpless as she awkwardly cupped her fists: "This is just a misunderstanding, the Xu family does not have any plans to make enemies with the general's household, I hope that Miss Feng does not exaggerate the situation, my mother's jade bracelet was indeed lost a while ago, Yanran is also anxious to find something …"

"What does her filial piety have to do with me? Because she is filial, I have to be bullied and humiliated by her. What kind of logic is this!" Feng Lingxi snorted, and continued, "I already said that I bought that jade bracelet, and it's mine. I have evidence to prove it! "But she accused me of stealing something for nothing, and I can't take this lying down. You have to give me an explanation today, or else when we meet in the future, if we meet again, we'll fight against any one of the Xu family's members!"

"Feng Lingxi!" "Who do you think you are, acting so arrogantly, even fighting one on the spot! If you have the ability, go hit my dad!"

"Father? Only you have a father? " Feng Lingxi sneered, "Do you believe that when my father takes action, he can lift your father up with just one hand?"

Xu Yanran's face was ashen. Clearly, she was infuriated by Feng Lingxi. However, after opening her mouth wide for a long time, she was unable to say a single word.

Although they were all loyal officials in the imperial court, generals were still a bit harder than civil servants. If they were to fight head on, the Minister of Government would probably suffer a bit.

However, this was not necessarily a bad place …

Xu Yanran thought, but before she could say anything, Xu Xun glared at her and said, "Yanran, apologize!"

Xu Yanran was stunned, Feng Ling Xi was also stunned, while Chen Mu and the others who were watching were also stunned.

He actually asked Xu Yanran to apologize? They didn't even want the basic entrance and the final result?

Chen Mu Mu Mu was interested in looking at Xu Xun, her gaze landing on Xu Yanran.

This unruly young miss had been so domineering when she was trying to get back at Feng Ling, would she directly fight with her brother now?

Everyone was waiting for Xu Yanran's reaction, while Xu Yanran stared at Xu Xun for a good while, her eyes suddenly turning red. She bit her lower lip, as though she was going to cry in the next second, and stared intently at Xu Xun's face, "What did you say?

"Shouldn't you apologize? You were the one who wronged Young Miss Feng today, causing the reputation of the Young Miss Feng to suffer. You even tried to use brute force to force the Young Miss Feng to submit to you. Xu Xun asked coldly.

Xu Yanran frowned and stubbornly said, "It's not my fault. The bracelet on her wrist was originally my mother's!"
