Mu Yunyue suddenly made a sound, almost making Ling Qiushui drop the things on her hands. She didn’t expect that Mu Yunyue will suddenly appear.

Mu Yunhan and Mu Yunxuan looked at each other. The two brothers frowned their eyebrows at the same time.

“Oh! I, am I not about to go inside?”

Ling Qiushui showed an unnatural smile in the face, her hands that were holding the tray also slightly tremble.

“Who let you in?

As soon as the two came in, they heard Mu Yunxuan screamed.

The two stopped their footsteps in an instant, Mu Yunyue’s neck shrink in fright.

Ling Qiushui stabilized her mood and tried to maintain a gentle smile, then softly said: “My lord, madam is worried that you will hurt your body, so Qiushui decide to send a dessert that his lordship liked.”

Ling Qiushui knows that if she uses Junzi Xi’s name. Mu Yunxuan will not get angry at her.

“This thing could be done by a maidservant. After this, as long as there is no order of this lord, no one is allowed to enter or leave Yunxiao Courtyard. Otherwise, don’t blame this lord.”

His cold tone has no trace of pity.

”Xuan’er, what are you saying? Qiushui is your future wife. She cares about you, so she wanted to send you food, but here you are scolding her. Mother is afraid that you will be like this, so I let her use my name. With your temperament, mother couldn’t felt at ease, and you let me know that my guess is not wrong.”

Junzi Xi, dressed in a dark peony red dress, looked so gorgeous. In these 6 years, she hasn’t changed much, she was still so beautiful.

“Mother.” Mu Yunxuan was not happy at the moment, his face sank.

“Madam, it’s Qiushui’s fault. Qiushui shouldn’t have come to his lordship’s private place as to not make him angry.”

Ling Qiushui lower her eyes. Her face was full of guilt. Her tears that falling made her look so pitiful.

“Qiushui, this is not your fault, you have to listen to me, alright?” Junzi Xi then looked at Mu Yunxuan: “Xuan’er, look at this, you made Qiushui scared and cry. You shouldn’t be cold like this to Qiushui in the future. Qiushui is your future wife.”

Junzi Xi yelled out loud. For her, Ling Qiushui was her nominal daughter-in-law, she will not let her be wronged.

“Mother, you are not in charged of my affairs… …”

Mu Yunxuan said with full of determination. He wants to be the master of his marriage. He will marry the woman he likes.

“Xuan’er, you…”

“Big brother.” Mu Yunhan was a little shocked to see Mu Yunxuan contradicted their mother.

Junzi Xi glared at his son. She didn’t expect that his filial son will contradict her. For a moment, she was at lost.

“Madam, this is not his lord’s fault. This is all Qiushui’s fault. Qiushui will do well in the future and always satisfied his lordship. Madam, my lord, please don’t argue because of Qiushui.”

Ling Qiushui hurriedly said while choking. With Junzi Xi on her side, she became more confident. She must marry into the Mu Family and become the madam that everyone admired in the whole world.

Looking at Ling Qiushui’s appearance, Mu Yunxuan frowned his eyebrows in dissatisfaction.

“Hey! You’re all here!”

Murong Xingchen and Mu Yunfan came in. And the two instantly felt a strange atmosphere.
