After the banquet ended, Yun Qing looked at the weak Yan Muru and was about to send a servant girl to get a doctor.
However, when she looked back, Yan Muru was no longer as weak as she had been just now. Her face was completely red, and she was glowing.
"Mother, don't worry. Mu Er is fine. That was all an act!"
As Yan Muru spoke, she laughed out loud, and out of the corner of her eyes, she saw the man beside her three elder sisters.
After the banquet, all the people that needed to leave had already asked Yan Hui for leave, and the only ones left were the Yan Clan's people. Even Jue Yi had already returned to the palace to report.
Since it was a man, and he was able to stand by his sister's side, then it was likely that he was one of the brother-in-law's brother-in-law whom he hadn't seen yesterday.
Just as Yan Muru was about to greet her brother-in-law, a small, meaty hand grabbed onto the corner of her skirt.
"Little Aunt, you haven't seen my father's writing, right?" Little Aunt, you haven't seen my father's writing, right?
While Liu Ruoxuan was showing off to Yan Muru, she pulled her towards the Liu Tan, causing Yan Yaru to be unable to stop her. This child of hers was really shameless.
However, Yan Muru was indeed capable, after all, Xuan'er was not close to everyone, even the servants and maids close to her might not be able to hear his words of praise, but her sixth sister had only been back for a day, yet she was able to be so close to Xuan'er. Was it because she was young, or was it because she was playing with Xuan'er?
Actually, Yan Mu Ru knew what everyone was thinking about. Even though she was the sixth young miss of the Yan family, she was not the real 'Yan Mu Ru'. Furthermore, she had grown up beside Yun Hui, so they were right to be on guard against her.
In just a few steps, she had already arrived at the side of the male guests.
"Greetings, brother-in-law. Thank you for coming."
Liu Danyan had the elegance of a scholar, and he knew that his family favored his sixth younger sister the most. How could he dare to let her bow for too long? He then nodded and helped Yan Muru up.
"We're all family, Sixth Sister is too polite."
His tone was similar to Yan Yaru's. Indeed, it was said that the longer they spent together, the more they would resemble each other!
Yan Muru covered her lips as she looked at her other two brother-in-law. The merchant had a large army in his hands and had been guarding the border for many years. Even Yan Yuru had been accompanying them at the border for a long time.
Jincheng City was the president of the Ministry of Justice, and normally, they would act with dignity and dignity. Today, they were by Yan Mingru's side, but when they heard her call him brother-in-law, they actually had a trace of shyness on their faces.
Yan Xinru naturally wanted to make fun of him.
"Look at Third Brother-in-law, he's blushing when his sixth sister said this."
Yan Mingru hadn't noticed this earlier, but upon hearing Yan Xingru's words, she couldn't help but blush. However, she was unwilling to accept it and insisted on going back to Yan Xingru.
"Fourth sister, please don't tease us. You are already past your prime. You are about to get engaged."
Yan Muru seemed to have thought of something when she said that, and she found it embarrassing to reply. She could only look at Yan Muru, this was the first time she saw her fourth sister being humiliated, and could not help but laugh.
"Sister Four, don't look at me. Mu Er still needs a year before she reaches her prime. However, if Sister Four has someone you like, Mu Er can help Zhang Luo a bit."
In a short moment, hearty laughter came from the small courtyard.
The sisters chatted for a while. Seeing that Cloud Ripple didn't have much rest these days, they arranged for the smoke to calm him down so that he could take a nap.
Yan Yaru was usually a close relative at home, and Yan Yaru spent most of her time with the merchants at the border. A few of her sisters who had yet to leave the pavilion would not be able to go out often to make a name for themselves, and Yan Muru had been raised in the Duskendale Valley since childhood.
There were very few opportunities for them to get together on a normal day, so they arranged to go to the Mu Huan Garden to take a seat. A few men couldn't easily enter the girls' rooms, so they went to the study to look for Yan Hui, playing chess while discussing what kind of enlightened master they should find for Liu Ruxuan.
As for the reason why they went to Mu Rou's courtyard and not to any other place, due to the strict Cloud Ripple Sect, the sisters did not have the chance to go in to take a look, except for Yan Xinru, who had escorted Yan Muru back to rest the other day.
"Youlan, go back and prepare some tea and snacks. They are in the small pavilion beside the autumn pavilion."
Since the sisters had already decided, she wouldn't be stingy. She instructed Youlan to go back and prepare, and they all looked at the chrysanthemums in the garden.
"Where did you get the hibiscus flowers from? Didn't seem to have seen it before the banquet? "
Yan Zi Ru and Yan Mu Ru walked side by side at the back. They couldn't help but feel a little puzzled when they saw that she had an additional Hibiscus Mutabilis flower.
Hearing Yan Ziru's question, she touched the Hibiscus Mutabilis Flower on her head. This Fifth Sister was extremely meticulous. She couldn't help but laugh at how clear this memory was.
"When I went to find Xuan'er, he insisted on putting a hairpin on my head. If he said something like that, then I would be even more beautiful than big sister today."
Hearing these words, Yan Yaru felt a warm feeling in her heart. These words were said by her husband when she accidentally scalded her face.
"Xiao Ya, look at this Hibiscus Mutabilis Flower, it's going to lose its color in front of you. In my heart, you'll always be the prettiest!"
Back then, even she could not accept this. After all, she was known as the number one beauty in the capital, and it was impossible for her to injure her appearance.
Even though many people wanted to give him a beautiful concubine, he still refused them all and even sought out famous doctors for her. Currently, her appearance had long since returned to normal, and her relationship with Liu Taiyan had always been as close as glue.
"The five big sisters are tired of walking, let's go to the Mu You Courtyard!"
Yan Muru looked at the nearby Mu Jia Yuan and knew that her sisters were curious, so she invited them in to have a look. After all, there would be less chances like this in the future, and it was time to clarify things so that they wouldn't worry in the future.
As soon as the sisters stepped into the courtyard, they were shocked by the layout inside.
It had to be said that this had satisfied their curiosity. The Mu Wai Courtyard was no different from their courtyard, it was just that there was an additional vine in the middle of the yard, but it looked new, like it was newly installed. Then there were a few more pear trees.
However, his mother was usually so precious that they were not allowed to enter. His fourth sister had even gone to ask for this courtyard, but it only made his mother angry.
He had initially thought that this courtyard was very beautiful, but now it seemed that the most valuable things were its name and a few pear trees.
Yan Mu Ru's name had a background, Yun Qing had told them before, but they never thought that their mother would be able to spoil them like this. If they weren't wrong, the Pear Blossom Tree had been planted ever since Yan Mu Ru was born, and Yun Qing had even personally planted it.
Yan Muru smiled and invited the few sisters to take a seat, then told Youlan to bring the refreshments over.
"The five sisters have been gone for so long, why don't you all drink a cup of tea first to quench your thirst? If you find a place that is inhospitable, please forgive me."
As the eldest young mistress, seeing her younger sister being so polite, she naturally understood what she wanted to say.
"We're all siblings, just say whatever you want to say."
Seeing that Yan Yaru wasn't going to beat around the bush, Yan Mu Ru didn't want to act so courteous anymore.
"Thanks to father, mother, and sisters for their love, Mu Er is not like them. I've been raised by my parents, so I naturally don't have the kind affection from all of them. It's normal for all of them to have doubts about me."
"However, since I am a daughter of the Yan Clan, I should put the Yan Clan first in everything. I definitely wouldn't do anything that would harm the face and life of the Yan Clan."
"If there ever comes a day when Mu Er goes against what she said today, I will be separated from her head by a thunderstorm."
Yan Muru's words were firm, her eyes were filled with determination, and her sisters also looked at each other.
Indeed, they suspected Yan Muru. After all, her every move at the banquet had an innate barrier, making it impossible for them to completely trust her.
When they saw Yan Muru swearing just now, they had been secretly admiring this woman. Even someone who had been in and out of the military camp for many years, like Yan Yueru, didn't think they would be able to possess this kind of boldness.
This woman will never be one of those people.
