Mu Linger held onto that warm and soft hand. Her heart couldn't help but surge with emotions. How many years had it been since she last felt such warmth? ? ?

Xie Yueqing gave her a detailed account of the scenery, the eaves like a rainbow, the long corridors like a painting, the surrounding water, the orderly arrangement of the flowers and trees, the loft standing tall. Mu Ran had never seen the real ancient buildings before, but the decorations of the General's Estate were elegant and graceful, clear and unassuming, just like her parents' personalities.

Xie Yueqing curiously asked, "Ran'er, what's the matter? Did you see something fun?"

"No, it's just that I feel that the decorations of the house and the temperament of my father and mother could be seen within. Every blade of grass and every carving makes one feel faint and amiable." Mu Ran tilted her head and pointed.

Xie Yueqing was a little touched by Mu Ru Yue's words. Although her daughter was still young, her wisdom surpassed Lan Lan. If she was taught by Huaizhen, then she would definitely be extraordinary in the future!

"My Ran'er is truly clever and obedient. You can even tell that when she grows up, she will definitely be an exquisite girl with many talents. There are few people in this world who can compare to you!" Xie Yueqing patted Mu Ran's head, teasing her. The maidservants behind him also chuckled.

"Mother!" I'll be proud if I get too much praise. Let's go take a walk over there! " Mu Shan didn't want to continue and hastily changed the topic. She was afraid that if she said too much, she would drag her mother away.

Mu Ran memorized it in her heart ? passing the Warm Pavilion, the study, the Moon Shadow Pavilion where her parents lived, the martial ground, then the reception hall in the front hall, then the guest room in the west wing, then the south wing where the servants lived, then the kitchen, and finally the garden in the middle.

The group of people also slowly walked for nearly two hours. Mu Ru pinched her aching legs as she complained about how weak her body was, yet she was also speechless for such a big house ?

"Mother, this garden is too big. My feet are sore ?" Mu Ran couldn't help but act coquettishly towards her gentle and beautiful mother.

"It's good that you've gotten used to it. When my emperor bestowed the manor upon you, your father specifically picked this small one. The place is too big, and it doesn't have much warmth. Besides, there aren't many servants in the house."

Saying that, he seemed to have thought of something and pulled Mu Ran up. He walked around her once and said with slight dissatisfaction: "Your body is a bit too skinny. When you're growing, you need to practice more. In the future, you must train in the morning, and I will have Yu Huan accompany you in your training every day! The Grand General's daughter cannot be like a little kitten! "

Her mother really did change a hundred times. All sorts of things happened so suddenly, but it was also very natural, making people more intimate with her. However, it just so happened that she also had plans to strengthen her body and immediately agreed to her mother's request.

"As you wish!" "Mother!" Seeing her pretentious daughter in front of her, Xie Yueqing couldn't help but smile. The maidservants by his side could not help but laugh. They had never seen their mistress smile so happily before.

Xie Yueqing glanced at the maidservants, hesitated for a moment, then introduced the few maidservants to Mu Ran, "These are mother's personal maidservants, Xiao Shuang and Xiao Wu. Mother will give you a personal girl later to help you settle down. In the past few days, you have been walking around a lot, getting familiar with the environment at home and the servants. "

When Mu Ru Yue saw her mother's gaze flicker, she immediately returned to normal. There was a change in her heart, but she still agreed immediately.

"Are you tired? Mom will send you back to the Warm Pavilion." Mu Ran extended her hand to hold the white hand as she obediently followed her mother.

In the study. Yin Huaizhen's expression was somber. He stood by the window with his hands behind his back, exuding an unpleasant aura.

The two men behind him looked at each other. If no one was willing to be the first to act, then they were destined to be beaten!

Yin Huaizhen suddenly turned his head and watched their little movements. The two men couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"Yu Huan, three days later, during the banquet, the Emperor ordered a group of ministers and their families to attend. What do you think?" The blue-clothed man silently cursed himself for being unlucky when he was called upon. He put on a serious face as he analyzed the situation, "It's called the celebration of the king and official, but the truth is, you want to see my lady, right?"

"Saying that is equivalent to saying that for free. I am asking you for a deeper motive, as well as a method to deal with it." The man in white teased.

"Hey!" Plain land! I've never seen you being so slow! "Since you're so capable, why don't you tell me!" Yu Huan was a bit infuriated. Every time he met Jiang Chen, the latter would go against him and embarrass him in front of his lord.

"Brother Yu, you flatter me!"

"In this banquet, I guess that Emperor Shuo's goal is to test your loyalty. The young miss had disappeared from the Western Tribes thirteen years ago and had returned after the battle of the Imperial City. If one were to investigate this further, it was likely that they would be given an opportunity.

The second was to test the young lady. How can a child that was born and disappeared be certain that she is my daughter after thirteen years? I think that Emperor Shuo is very likely suspecting that Miss is a spy from the Western Tribes.

Third, show me what you can do. Regardless of whether or not the Miss had a good relationship with the Master and Madam, he could still restrict the relationship between them. My dear, then Miss is my weakness. In the future, I will definitely use this as a form of coercion. The thin, can take the opportunity to rope in the young miss, the opportunity to break up between father and daughter.

I'm afraid that in the past few days, the General's Estate has attracted a lot of people to fly up the mountain. " Ignoring Yu Huan's provocation, he continued to discuss and analyze the matter.

Yin Huaizhen nodded approvingly, then turned around and walked towards the table. He looked refined, as if the haze from before was just an illusion.

Yu and Niu smacked their tongues. This lord's change in attitude is truly carefree! Upon seeing the other party take his seat, he rushed forward to make the necessary arrangements.

"The analysis makes a lot of sense. In all these years, Emperor Shuo and I have been friends for life and death on the surface, but the truth is that we have always been on guard against each other, never having any real trust in each other.

After this great victory, I felt the atmosphere of the court begin to change. The title of general is an omen. He is about to make his move. "

Yin Huaizhen tapped the table with his index finger while holding his forehead with one hand, deep in thought.

Mang Lin and Yu Heng looked at each other with concern, but seeing the calmness and understanding between Yin Huaizhen's brows, they could not help but calm down. After so many years, this grandpa has been able to deal with it easily, so I will definitely do the same this time!

Yin Huaizhen raised his head to look at the two of them. He already had a plan in mind, so he tilted his head back and said, "Uncle Fang, bring the little miss to the study room."

Uncle Fang went out as soon as he heard this. Yu Huan was taken aback. She thought that this grandpa would arrange for them to deploy immediately, but what does this have to do with the young lady?

Puzzled, he asked, "Master, Miss just returned to the manor, right?"

We are not familiar with the Residence of the High General, nor are we familiar with the situation as well. If we were to rashly bring her into our plans, wouldn't that be inappropriate? "

"It's fine." Yin Huaizhen waved his hand and thought of his daughter, who had just reunited with him.

"I have a feeling that she is not a baby bird under the protection of her parents' wings, but an eagle that can spread its wings and soar into the sky. Furthermore, my Yin Huaizhen's daughter will definitely be someone with unparalleled talent and will be extremely talented in the future. "

Yu Huan couldn't help but be curious about this young lady. She wanted to see what kind of girl this grandpa would praise so much. It definitely wasn't just because her father doted on her.

When Uncle Fang came to the Warm Pavilion to invite her, she had already faintly guessed at her father's thoughts. It seemed like he hadn't done his homework for nothing last night, and he hadn't asked her about it along the way.

Uncle Fang looked at Mu Ru beside him and thought to himself that he liked this little girl more and more. Seeing that she seemed to understand everything, he should have already known that this father would look for her.

"We're right in front." Uncle Fang saw that her face was bright red and looked cute, but he felt his heart ache for her, so he reminded her.

Mu Ran nodded, a little out of breath.

The two of them stopped at the door. Mu Ran took a few deep breaths, calmed herself down, and then pushed the door open.

The quiet study room was a bit dark. Mu Linger closed her eyes, and after getting used to the light, she called out to the man who was as gentle as jade. "Father!"

Yin Huaizhen stood up and walked forward, touching Mo Ran's red face. He lifted the cup of tea on the table, opened the lid and handed it to her, "Drink slowly first." The doting look in his eyes was about to spill out.

Yu Huan's eyes had never blinked since she entered the door. She only stared at her. In her entire life, she had never seen such a cute and tender little person. She was so limpid that it made people want to pounce on her ? It was a pity that before he could put his thoughts into practice, he was slapped back to reality by someone beside him... He gave her an angry glance. Bad for him!

He raised his eyebrows and glared back. How could he not know what Yu Heng was thinking? But how could he not let him succeed? He was probably thrown out of the door before he could even get close. He was the one who saved him.

However, Mulberry City had never seen a master like this. It was as if the young mistress had changed ever since she came back, becoming infatuated with her daughter. They were really worried that the mistress would be jealous ?

Mu Ran sipped her tea as she watched Yin Huaizhen take small sips. Her bright eyes constantly glanced at the unfamiliar, handsome man whose expression had changed a million times. She smiled in her heart and lowered her eyes.

She really wanted to get close to such an interesting person. It would definitely be fun to tease him. So, she took the initiative to ask, "Father, this uncle is ?"

"His name is Yu Heng, you can call him Uncle Yu. My kung fu is very good. In the future, I'll have him take you in the morning when I practice. " It seemed that she really liked Yu Heng, but he could rest assured that she would be able to keep Yu Heng by her side. In any case, she was still in the middle of her journey, so there shouldn't be any big problems.

Mu Ran smiled as she greeted, "Hello, Uncle Yu!"

Yu Heng was a little annoyed. "Boss, why did you ask Young Miss to call me Uncle?! Do I look as old as I am? With my confidence and elegance, I should be calling you Big Brother! "

"Then, do you want to lower your seniority and call me dad along with Ran'er?" Yin Huai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Yu Heng's face scrunched up, the feeling of being held back was really unpleasant, and it was always the same.

"Alright, it's not just a title, it's all empty names. I see that Miss likes you a lot, in the future you will have more time to get close to Miss. This grandpa has business to discuss with the young miss, so don't miss the important matters. " Yu Heng followed her down the stairs, but his eyes continued to admire the flower-like little Mu Ran as a smile bloomed in his heart.
