Even if they are blood relatives, it is not easy to persuade people who have never experienced life and death to be kind. During the conversation with Hua Wenang, Hua Qian tried her best to act as domineering as before, always talking about the benefits of interceding for the Mu family from the perspective of the Hua family, but the sweat on her palms had already soaked the sandalwood chair. armrest. Fortunately, Hua Wenang didn't notice anything and even agreed with her idea.

Compared with the shrewdness of father and daughter, Hua Shen, the son of the Hua family, seems to be mediocre. On weekdays, he likes nothing more than the sight of dogs and horses, hooks and fences and houses. When Hua Qian came back this time, she saw him teasing a maid with her own eyes. She couldn't help but sigh that her brother had really lost a lot of weight during the year he was exiled. She shook her head, then pretended not to see anything and left quietly. But Hua Shen had sharp eyes and hurriedly chased after him to give Hua Qian the silk and satin he had specially found. In the past, Hua Qian would have been overjoyed. But today, she was angry for no reason and decisively rejected her brother's kindness.

As night fell, the family sat around the table, salivating at the delicacies in front of them, but they could only quietly appease their growling stomachs because the uncle of the Hua family, Zhong Yelan, had not arrived yet. I don’t know how long it took, but Zhong Yelan finally arrived. Hua Wenang was not annoyed at all, and a smile quickly appeared on his face. Hua Shen also immediately picked up the wine glass and wanted to toast Zhong Yelan no matter what. After drinking a few drinks, he put his hands on Zhong Yelan's shoulders and acted like an uncle. After drinking and eating, Hua Wenang turned around and wanted to say something to Zhong Yelan, but before he could say anything, Zhong Yelan was pulled away by Hua Qian.

On the way, Hua Qian suddenly mentioned that he wanted to see Mu Yao. Zhong Yelan's hands clenched tightly into fists, and he was panicking when he wanted to speak. Hua Qian hurriedly explained that she just wanted to talk to her. After all, she used to be like a sister. Only then did Zhong Yelan feel relieved, and then explained to Hua Qian that he and Mu Yao were not in an affair, and that he had always been her childhood sweetheart who had been with him since childhood. Hua Qian forced a smile, thinking to herself that she was not the green plum he mentioned.

Seeing Mu Yao, an idea suddenly flashed through Hua Qian's mind, why not solve this possible trouble in the future. Then, she quickly shook her head, trying to throw all these thoughts out of her mind. In order to wake herself up, she had no choice but to slap herself. Mu Yao was awakened by the voice and glared at Hua Qian angrily, saying that he had learned about her snake-like heart. Hua Qian couldn't refute, so she had to tell Mu Yao that no matter what she had done before, she really wanted to help her now.

Seeing that Mu Yao was still very angry, Hua Qian had no choice but to pour a glass of water, hoping to calm her down. But in Mu Yao's opinion, this was nothing more than pretentiousness, and he knocked the teacup to the ground out of anger. Zhong Yelan, who was outside the house, heard the noise and hurriedly came in to check. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the red mark on Hua Qian's face, and he scolded Mu Yao fiercely and angrily. Only then did Hua Qian realize the injury on her face. She quickly explained that the injury had nothing to do with Mu Yao and was all caused by herself.

But Zhong Yelan didn't want to believe it and continued to scold Mu Yao, who was arrogant and self-reliant. Hua Qian had no choice but to raise her hand and cover his mouth, asking him to quickly apologize to Mu Yao. Then, she left as if running away, not forgetting to close the door before leaving. Hua Qian was very satisfied with this result. Bringing together a couple of people who are in love with each other, hoping that in the future, some of the resentment that he once designed to break them up can be alleviated.

Over there, Hua Wenang earnestly interceded with Zhong Xiwu on behalf of the Mu family. In the end, the Mu family was exiled for three years, least of all the women. Before leaving, the Mu family's father and daughter were able to meet each other under Zhong Yelan's care. Mu Yunping hopes that his daughter will avoid the right and wrong here and wait for three years. But Mu Yao wanted to make the Mu family ordinary and clear the Mu family's name. For this reason, she specifically appealed to Zhong Yelan and asked for the position of a female envoy on the grounds of repaying her kindness. Zhong Yelan had no choice but to take her home and let her serve Hua Qian. Hua Qian hurriedly refused and asked Zhong Yelan to leave Mu Yao alone.
