Life was like a play. Some people appeared on the scene, while others appeared on the screen. Time slowly flowed away like sand in the hand, recording the cycle of life and death.

Xiao Wang Manor.

The amount of gossip in the manor didn't lessen because of Xiao Yuxuan's departure.

"Cui Xin, what do you think is the relationship between our secondary wife and the Peace King … Before, they … " The maid who had spoken wore a set of light green and white clothes. Her appearance was plain and plain, and her hair was tied with a simple hairpin!

"Shh …" Hush, if the old prince hears you later! Be careful not to drive you out of the house! Yesterday, Steward Zhou strictly forbade us to discuss this matter in private … What a mouth! Something bad will happen sooner or later! " Cui Xin glared at Feng Xue!

"Ugh …" Hearing Cui Xin's words, Feng Xue couldn't help but look around. Only after seeing that no one was around, did she finally relax!

"This mouth..." If I say it again in the future, you will hit me! At least getting beaten up by you is better than getting punished by Housekeeper Zhou … " Feng Xue shrugged, and leaned on Jadeheart's side!

"Now I know fear... "Let's go …" Cui Xin pointed and left with Feng Xue.

As the wind blew, a dark figure slowly walked to the light. His hazy eyes carried a trace of ruthlessness as they shot towards the direction that Jadeheart and Feng Xue had left in. The corner of his mouth slowly curved into an ice-cold arc.

Only after almost three days of rest did Duan Mu Yan's chills recover completely. It was also because of this that she was allowed to eat with everyone.

The white dress was tied around the waist with a blue band, and the simple dress still revealed a slim figure. Although elegant, it was still magnificent, with an emerald jade pendant tied around her waist. Her beautiful face did not have the slightest hint of adornment, making her seem even more alluring. Her eyebrows were green without a painting, and her cherry lips were red without even touching!

Duan Mu Yan's appearance caused a huge disturbance in the originally calm main hall!

"Mu Yan is here! Sit down... Since my illness has just started to heal, it's not good to stand here for too long! " Xiao Yin said calmly as he saw Duan Mu Yan walk into the main hall! He knew that during this period of time, he had wronged this child.

"Many thanks, royal father …" Duan Mu Yan gave a deep bow. With the support of Yue Er, he walked towards Xiao Jin Feng with graceful steps!

"Mu Yan!" Our Xiao family is different from the royal family. We don't have that many rules. In his eyes, Duan Mu Yan was no different from his own daughter. Perhaps … It was because Xiao Yin had always felt that he owed Fei Fei.

Hearing Xiao Yin's words, a trace of warmth flashed across the bottom of Duan Mu Yan's heart. His beautiful eyes that were like butterfly feathers trembled as he looked towards Xiao Yin.

"Many thanks, royal father …" She had closed the distance between Xiao Yin and Duan Mu Yan. The love between father and daughter was slowly growing!

Just as Duan Mu Yan was about to approach Xiao Jin Feng, a sudden collision nearly made her fall to the ground!

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Xiao Jin Feng actually pulled Su Jin Xiu, who was serving by his side, to sit in the seat that Duan Mu Yan was sitting in!

"Prince …" Su Jin Xiu looked at Xiao Jin Feng in astonishment. With a frown, a trace of strangeness flashed through her frightened eyes!

"Su Feng! What do you mean? Embroidery was just a maid, how could she sit down?! "And that location …"

"This position is Shi Rou's! Furthermore, the rich brocade is not a maid! She was Shi Rou's little sister, Shi Rou … Why not let her sister sit here for her?! " Her hoarse voice was filled with hatred and resentment, Xiao Jin Feng didn't even raise her head to look at Duan Mu Yan!

"This is too outrageous!" "Embroidery, you can go down …" Xiao Yin frowned coldly as he glared at Xiao Jin Feng. He could understand the pain of losing his wife, but he couldn't forgive his son for treating Duan Mu Yan in such a manner.

Even though she was unwilling, Su Jin Xiu still got up with a cowering face. However, in the next second, she was ruthlessly torn off by Xiao Jin Feng!

"Sit down!" You are not allowed to get up without my permission! " Xiao Jingfeng held Su Jin Xiu in one hand and the dishes on the table in the other. His expression was cold and his expression was impassive!

"How preposterous!" Just as Xiao Yin was about to smash the table and rise to his feet, Duan Mu Yan suddenly spoke!

"Father... Mu Yan suddenly felt unwell … Go back to your room and rest first... "Mu Yan will take her leave …" Her slightly curled eyelashes trembled as her watery black eyes drooped down like fireflies. Before Xiao Yin could speak, Duan Mu Yan had already walked out of the main hall …!

As Xiao Jin Qing's figure slowly left his sight, a trace of heartache flashed through Xiao Jin Feng's heart. He simply couldn't feel it at all; it was only a weak tremble.

"Xiao Jingfeng! You're going too far! " Xiao Yin ruthlessly threw the porcelain bowl in front of him and left in anger!

In the main hall, Xiao Jingfeng was still holding the dishes on the table and stuffing them into his mouth! At the corner of her eyes, that stubborn teardrop didn't fall down. Shi Rou … Where are you... I miss you... Every day I think... His heart ached every day … Shi Rou.

However, he wasn't the only one who felt heartache … However, there was only one person who was in high spirits. At this moment, Su Jin Xiu was enjoying sitting at the same table as Xiao Jin Feng. The desire in her heart spread to every cell in her body like a poisonous snake.

Leaving the main hall, Duan Mu Yan lowered her eyes and quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her unintentional actions had landed in Qiu Yue's eyes!

"Esteemed wangfei …"

"I'm fine …" "Yue Er, I've wronged you …" Duan Mu Yan's heart ached as she looked at her maidservant. This servant will follow the momentum of the situation. Her position in the Xiao family was not even worth mentioning, so how good would Yue Er be?

"Esteemed wangfei, don't say that … Yue'er does not feel wronged, neither does the wangfei. The old prince treats you like his own daughter. Even if it was the first wife from before, the old prince has never treated you like this! " Autumn Moon Cherry's lips lightly opened as she comforted him!

There was no need for her to be concerned. He and Xiao Lingfeng were called husband and wife, but in reality, they had gone their separate ways. It was understandable that he would hate her, but if he hated her, it would lessen the pain in his heart.

The Heavens were just, the royal father treated him like air, but Xiao Yin loved him as if he were his own son. Duan Muyan recalled Xiao Yin's kind smile just now and a trace of calmness flashed past his heart.

In the main hall, Xiao Jingfeng had released Su Jin Xiu at an unknown time!

"Prince …" Seeing Xiao Jin Feng's expressionless face stuffing food into his mouth, the tears in his eyes finally fell. Su Jin Xiu's heart felt as if it was pierced by a needle. She had a deep affection for Xiao Jin Feng!

There was no response. Xiao Jingfeng threw away the chopsticks in his hand and left without looking back.

Su Jin Xiu's hand clenched into a fist as she watched Xiao Jin Feng's lonely figure slowly fade away from her line of sight. A trace of iciness flashed past her dark eyes. Rather than worrying that Xiao Jin Feng might fall in love with Duan Mu Yan, it would be better for him to constantly think about a dead person.

Palace Tutor Hall.

A soul-stirring flute melody lightly rang out. Looking from afar, one could see a person with a clean countenance and white clothes, with black hair dyed in ink. When the wind blew, one would desire to be an immortal.

Outside of the Phoenix Storage Pavilion, Duan Zitong was immersed in the flute music as she stepped onto the fragmented lotus steps. Duan Zitong slowly circled around the jade railing and lightly moved to Xiao Yuxuan's side. Although she had no intention of disturbing such a beautiful mood, the flute music still abruptly stopped.

"Why did Yu Xuan stop?" Duan Zitong's cherry lips parted as his charming eyes became like silk. Every time he faced Xiao Yuxuan, she would do his best to make himself look elegant. She seemed to only be a hair's breadth away from him. It seemed that they were a perfect match.

Only after a long time had passed did Duan Zitong realize that in Xiao Yuxuan's eyes, she had always been an evil woman, a woman with a vicious heart.

She turned her jade-like face towards Duan Zitong as Xiao Yuxuan bowed respectfully. There was not a trace of warmth in her clear eyes!

"I am afraid that I will sully the princess' phoenix ears!"

"The honored tutor must be joking. This kind of heavenly music is indeed a blessing for the catalpas. I wonder where this song came from?" Duan Zitong's cherry lips curved into a smile, her charming eyes became like silk as she reached out her white hands towards the bamboo flute in Xiao Yuxuan's hands.

Xiao Yuxuan slightly bowed, skilfully avoiding Duan Zitong's jade-like hand and taking advantage of the situation to place the flute on her waist.

"Reporting to the princess, this song was written by this humble subject. Its name is' Butterfly Love Flower '…" His clear eyes flashed with a hint of resplendent splendor. This song was specially written by him for Duan Mu Yan. Not only was there a tune, but there was also a word. Just that word … He only left the chant for Duan Mu Yan alone.

"Butterfly Love Flower... That's a good name... However … Butterflies die for flowers, but flowers fly with the wind, flowers bloom for who to thank, flowers for who sad butterflies fall autumn color to ashes... "Love butterflies with flowers, destined to be sorrowful forever …" A trace of unfathomable light flashed across Duan Zitong's eyes as she lightly spoke!

Duan Zitong's eyes drooped, and a fierce light flashed through them. How could she not know the hidden meaning behind Xiao Yuxuan's words?! Even though Duan Mu Yan was already a wife, his heart was still filled with determination and hatred!

"Jade Xuan …" I want to learn this song... " Duan Zitong turned her gaze to the side and concealed the conspiracy in the depths of her eyes.

"Easy, Yu Xuan will write down the score and present it to the princess …" "But …" Xiao Yuxuan's clear eyes lowered slightly, as if he was in a difficult situation.

"I will do my best to arrange a meeting between the Imperial Tutor and the First Prince …" Duan Zitong's voice was gentle as he walked straight into the Tutor Manor without even looking back!

Behind him, Xiao Yuxuan looked at Duan Zitong's back in astonishment, his heart trembling slightly. She had never expected him to guess his thoughts. Was it because he revealed such obvious thoughts? This woman was too scheming.

In the Tutor Manor, Xiao Yuxuan didn't say anything more. He had prepared the music for the 'Butterfly Flower' on a predetermined piece of paper. The only slight movement was because the true 'Butterfly Flower' belonged to Mu Yan alone.

As he watched Xiao Yuxuan throw ink at him like flowing water, Duan Zitong's heart sank once more. The spark of love had already started to burn her conscience.

With a handsome, resolute face, perfect, and exquisite facial features, she seemed to transcend the mortal world. Xiao Yuxuan's every move seemed to float like an immortal, and in Duan Zitong's eyes, the music of the world naturally came from a peerless person.

"Seventh Princess …" She was dressed in simple and unadorned palace attire, standing respectfully outside the hall with her eyes looking humbly at Duan Zitong. However, her gaze landed on Xiao Yuxuan.

She had a straight nose, smooth yet perfect lips. This wasn't the first time Qing Lan had met Xiao Yuxuan, but she was as moved as she was the first. Any woman could escape from such a god-like immortal!
