Chapter 115 Why should she?
In the warm room of Wuqiuxuan, Jiang was half leaning on the couch, wearing a delicate brocade headband on her forehead. The brocade was embroidered with delicate cloud patterns and a dark blue gem was inlaid in the middle, which made it particularly eye-catching.
She squinted her eyes, supported her head with one hand, and gently rubbed her temple with her middle finger and index finger, thinking about something.
"Big sister, wait for me!" Mu Hongliu shouted from behind.
When he looked up, he saw Mu Baiying angrily entering the warm room, taking off her cloak and throwing it aside, then sitting down opposite Jiang.
"Why are you angry with her?" Jiang advised disdainfully.
Mu Baiying frowned, her eyes slightly red, tears in her eyes, and she said indignantly: "If she was just an idiot, I wouldn't be so angry!"
Hearing this, Jiang suddenly opened her eyes, sat up straight, and asked, "Did you meet that little bitch Mu Lanfeng again?"
"Who else could it be except her?" Mu Baiying said gritting her teeth.
"Big sister, why are you walking so fast!"
Just as Jiang was about to speak, Mu Hongliao rushed in breathlessly, complaining, "Big sister asked you to wait for me, why are you running so fast?"
On the way back, Mu Hongliao never stopped talking and chattered non-stop. Mu Baiying tried to endure it at first, but she got more and more excited. Mu Baiying got so angry that she simply ignored her, but she kept chasing after her and yelling!
Jiang was furious. Seeing Mu Hongliao looking aggrieved, she held back her anger and tried to control her tone: "Hongliao, good child, big sister is not ignoring you. She is just mad at your ignorant fifth sister. Please forgive big sister and don't take it to heart. Big sister still loves you!"
"Bah!" Mu Hongliao spat, feeling indignant: "She is not my sister. She is a bastard of unknown origin and is not worthy of being my sister!"
Jiang looked at Mu Hongliao meaningfully and said with a smile, "Good child, don't say such things carelessly. If your father finds out, he will beat you with a stick again, and then your mother won't be able to help you!"
Mu Hongliao was so angry that she felt dizzy. She was thinking about taking off her cloak, but when she heard that she was going to be beaten, she was so scared that she immediately covered her mouth with her hands and the cloak fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Hong Yuan hurriedly helped pick up the cloak.
Mu Baiying rolled her eyes at Mu Hongliao with disdain: "Look, mother! I told her she's stupid, but she still won't admit it!"
"Mother, look at my elder sister, she scolded me again!" Mu Hongliao said tearfully.
"Bai Ying, stop talking!" Jiang said, and then pulled Mu Hong Liao to her front, coaxing her like a child: "Hong Liao, be good, don't cry! My good child, mother knows that Hong Liao is on the side of big sister, mother apologizes to you on behalf of big sister!"
Hearing what Jiang said, Mu Hongliao immediately stopped crying and laughed: "Mother is the best!"
Seeing that Mu Hongliao had been coaxed, Jiang asked again, "There is sweet soup in the kitchen, would you like to try it?"
"Yes! Yes, yes!" Mu Hongliao nodded happily.
If it hadn't been so cold outside, she would have rushed to the kitchenette.
"Hong Yuan, go and serve it to the fourth young lady!" Jiang ordered.
"Yes! Madam!" Hong Yuan responded and turned to go out.
Soon, Hong Yuan came in with a tray with steam rising from the bowl of soup.
Mu Hongliao hurriedly picked up the soup and stirred it with a spoon. She couldn't wait to taste it. It was sweet and very appetizing. She drank a few more mouthfuls before she remembered Jiang and Mu Baiying: "It tastes good. Mother, do you want to try it, elder sister?"
Mu Baiying smiled and said in a much more gentle tone: "Drink quickly, we have already drunk!"
Hearing this, Mu Hongliao didn't hesitate and drank the wine in one gulp while holding the bowl.
She had already had dinner when she went out, and ate a lot. Now she drank a bowl of sweet soup. She touched her round belly and looked unsatisfied!
Jiang watched Mu Hongliao finish her drink and said to her with a smile, "If it's not enough, there's more in the kitchen!"
Mu Hongliu waved her hands and said, "Enough, enough!" She burped with a smile.
Mu Baiying looked outside the house. It was already completely dark. She looked at Mu Hongliao again and said, "Fourth sister, it's getting late. Go back and get some rest!"
Mu Hongliao yawned, touched her round belly, and then stood up. "Big sister is right. Hongliao will come to see you tomorrow!"
"Yes," Mu Baiying nodded and stood up with a smile, "It's getting dark, the road is very slippery, Hong Yuan will send Fourth Sister off, be careful not to fall!"
Hearing that her elder sister Mu Baiying cared about her so much, Mu Hongliao felt relieved at once. She smiled, bowed, and bowed before leaving reluctantly.
"Why should you be angry with her? Just go along with her. If you make good use of her, she will be the arrow in our hands!" There was a hint of cunning in Jiang's eyes, making it hard to figure out what she was thinking.
"Mother, I'm not angry with her, Mu Hongliao is just a brainless idiot!" Mu Baiying paused for a moment and then said, "Forget it, I know what to do next time!"
"The Empress Dowager sent someone to convey the news that the Emperor will hold a winter banquet this year, inviting officials above the fifth rank and their families. We must start preparing well!" Jiang attached great importance to this winter banquet.
It was talking about a banquet for officials and their families, and she was naturally among them.
"Is that little bitch Mu Lanfeng going too?" Mu Baiying asked.
Jiang snorted coldly and said with disgust: "She is a concubine's daughter, and her aunt has died. Logically, she is not qualified to attend such a big occasion! But..."
"But what?" Mu Baiying asked.
"You also know that the emperor granted the marriage this year. The relationship between the emperor and the Prince of Yan has always been bad. The emperor will definitely take this opportunity to ease the relationship between them as father and son! That little bitch should also be on the list!" Jiang explained.
"Damn it! What right does she have?" Mu Baiying said unwillingly.
"Don't worry too much, the Queen Mother will take action! The Queen Mother has heard about it in the palace and has long wanted to meet this ignorant little bitch!" Jiang showed a smug smile on her face.
Even if we can't inflict serious damage on her, it would be good to put an end to her arrogance.
Mu Baiying raised her eyes, glanced at Jiang guiltily, and asked weakly, "Mother, is there any news about becoming king?"
Jiang didn't notice Mu Baiying's expression and just casually replied, "Everyone in the palace is preparing for the winter banquet and has no time to take care of other things! There are no good days before the New Year, and King Cheng's wedding will probably be after the New Year!"
"Ah!" Mu Baiying screamed in shock, thinking that it was not good, her belly would definitely not last until that time!
Jiang felt heavy-headed and was still somewhat dazed, but after hearing Mu Baiying's call, she suddenly became much more sober.
"what happened?"
"Nothing... nothing!" Mu Baiying bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth. Her slightly trembling hands twisted the corners of her clothes unconsciously, trying to relieve her tension and anxiety.
