Chapter 39 The Lantern Festival in the Previous Life
"Does Second Brother not like that Sister?" Yu Xi tilted her head, looking at her brother's excessively handsome face, somewhat puzzled.
Mu Yunchao looked at her and asked, "Do you like her?"
Otherwise, why would they pay so much attention to that person?
They're just insignificant people.
It's just because of their status that they have to observe basic etiquette.
Yu Xi thought about it carefully, "Grandmother likes it."
“Grandmother…” Mu Yunchao had a headache. He knew that his grandmother was always worried about the marriages of the younger generation. When she saw a girl of marriageable age, she was like a cat that hadn’t eaten for days seeing a mouse. After all, in their previous lives, they were indeed too much of a worry in this regard.
"I'm telling you, Second Brother has someone he likes." Mu Yunchen quietly lured Xiao Yuxi, who was standing next to Second Brother, to her side and whispered in her ear.
!!!
Shocking big melon!
Xiao Yuxi's eyes widened, and she moved a few steps closer to Brother Potato.
Quick! Tell me in private!
Who does my second brother like? Does she even know him? Is she prettier than that older sister from before?
Mu Yunchen understood the meaning in Xiao Yuxi's eyes and felt quite smug.
He's lived two lives, and he knows all the secrets of various aristocratic families!
"My second brother has a jade pendant with a tassel woven by a girl. That girl is his sweetheart."
"Jade pendant?"
Mu Yunchen immediately covered Xiao Yuxi's mouth, "Keep your voice down, you can't be heard."
Although he studied literature, Mu Yunchao had practiced martial arts since childhood: ...
Although he didn't really want to hear it, it was hard not to notice the two little people when they were huddled together.
I overheard everything without even realizing it.
Jade?
Mu Yunchao glanced down at his bare waist; he seemed to remember it.
That jade pendant...
Yu Xi bought it on a whim and threw it to him.
In his previous life, he accompanied Yu Xi to see the lantern festival during the Lantern Festival.
The girl in red with black hair was exceptionally delicate. She carried a large sword in her left hand, seemingly unconcerned about its weight. It was a reward she had just won in a martial arts tournament, and it didn't match her slender and frail appearance. However, she refused to throw the sword away, insisting that she take it back to her room and hang it above her bed as a decoration.
She doesn't look like a girl at all.
He looked at the stalls full of girls' items lining the street, and then at the young woman picking and choosing, feeling quite troubled. That young woman paid no attention to the cosmetics; she was only interested in which short knife was sharper and which hidden weapon was more suitable for a sneak attack.
"Yu Xi, would you like to buy some jewelry?" Mu Yunchao stopped Yu Xi in time.
Sure enough, the little girl turned around and looked at him, glancing at the various jewelry he had left on the stall. She casually picked out a dark green jade pendant. Although it wasn't very clear, the color was old enough and it looked very beautiful. Moreover, the carving was exquisite, making it very suitable for a little girl to wear.
The little girl casually took out a gold ingot and tossed it to the vendor, saying generously, "Keep the change."
Mu Yunchao's hand, which was reaching for the money, froze on the spot. Fine, he'd have to get used to his sister earning more money than him. Next time, he'd just take the money out faster.
I was just about to say something to my younger sister, such as advising her to let men pay for her when she goes out, otherwise she would be taken advantage of by gigolos, and also advising her not to spend money recklessly, as she would be easily robbed by ill-intentioned people when she is out.
Even if his younger sister had incredible fighting skills, he still felt that she was delicate and easily bullied by outsiders.
What's more, this younger sister is also keen on causing trouble _(:3」∠)_.
Before he could even speak, Yu Xi threw the jade pendant she had just bought to him.
Mu Yunchao hurriedly caught it, looking at his sister with some confusion.
"This is?"
The girl suppressed a laugh and slightly raised her chin. "I've heard that the second young master of the Mu family has never married because he's gay. How can that be? Do you think I don't know whether you're gay or not? Hang this on your waist and say that you have a beloved person who has already passed away, and this is for remembering that person. Let's see who in the capital would dare to joke about you then."
The little girl is full of bad ideas.
Few people would have dared to say he had homosexual tendencies to begin with, but with her actions, the people of the capital will probably find out sooner or later that he had a sweetheart who died young.
Even if he doesn't say it, her people will definitely find ways to spread rumors about him.
Mu Yunchao sighed softly and calmly followed the girl's wishes, tying the jade pendant around his waist.
"As you wish."
Mu Yunchao slowly came back to his senses and looked at the little girl, who was not even as tall as Lao Sangao yet. He couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, but then forcibly suppressed them.
Now we can't bully him anymore.
Then he looked at the third brother who was spreading rumors, and saw that his head was resting on the little girl's shoulder. He picked him up and put him aside.
"Men and women should not touch each other. Keep your distance from your sister," Mu Yunchao reminded him calmly.
Keep your distance?
Mu Yunchen's small face showed utter speechlessness.
He's still a child!!!
"Boys and girls shouldn't sit together until they're eight years old! I don't want to keep my distance!"
Mu Yunchao ignored him and calmly said, "You only know that I have a jade pendant given to me by my sweetheart, but do you know that she has already passed away?"
Mu Yunchen was startled by this sudden revelation, "Died...died?"
Mu Yunchen: ?(?'?'? )??????
When did this happen?
Why is it different from the version he heard in his previous life?
Was he listening to the censored version?
Stimulate!!!!!!
In her past life, Yu Xi did not spread rumors as he had guessed; instead, she simply forgot about giving him the jade pendant.
After all, she had many things to do every day, and such small things were quickly forgotten.
The Second Young Master Mu, who never wore any jewelry, suddenly had a jade pendant around his waist one day. His colleagues were really curious and asked him a question. The next day, everyone in the capital knew that the Second Young Master Mu had someone he loved.
So Mu Yunchen also got a taste of the fake melon.
My second brother's sweetheart has passed away?!
Xiao Yuxi stared wide-eyed in disbelief!
Death means the person is gone...
Wouldn't the second brother be very sad?
My second brother is so pitiful...
Seeing the heartache in the little girl's eyes, Mu Yunchao suppressed the smile on his lips. "I never thought you'd get a piece of the truth, did I?"
Ye Shuyin stood behind the tree in shock, looking at Mu Yunchao who was talking quietly to two children, somewhat incredulous.
She was a few steps behind and missed the others, and ended up taking a bite of an astonishingly huge melon!
The Second Young Master Mu actually has someone he likes?
What about her sister?
Can I tell my sister about this?
The dead should be inferior to the living, right?
The maid standing to the side looked on in alarm. Was it really something she could just overhear?
Which families in the capital have daughters who die young?
