Master Fu’s Ace Wife

Chapter 21 - I Don't Lack the Mu Family's Food.

 Lu Xue could clearly feel that the temperature around her had dropped a few degrees after she finished speaking. She looked up and saw the cold smile on Wen Li's face.

The back of her spine felt chills. However, Lu Xue had been in High Society for many years and has interacted with so many people. How could she be so easily intimidated by a little girl?

"I heard that Nan Sheng protected you at the banquet." Lu Xue continued with the second matter. "The Nan Family is the largest family in Ningzhou. I know that a man with a gilded body like Nan Sheng will always inadvertently shake a girl's heart, but you must have a clear understanding."

"The Nan Family isn't something that people like you can think of. Nan Sheng's wife should be born from a prestigious family and have a good education, proper cultivation, and courtesy. By high standards, it wouldn't be your turn."

Wen Li finally understood the reason why Lu Xue had come here. She was afraid of being robbed of what they wanted.

"Do you think Nan Sheng's wife will be Mu Nuanxi in the future?" Wen Li pointed out mercilessly.

Lu Xue didn't have any intention of denying it at all. "Be obedient, it's the only words you need to follow in the Mu family."

Wen Li held her chin and looked at her. "If it is yours, no one could snatch it away from you. You don't have to ask for it but you can only do so."

 Just as Lu Xue was about to say something, Auntie Ruan walked in. "Madam, there's a guest down there. He said it's the eldest young master of the Nan family."

Hearing this, Lu Xue smiled. Nan Sheng must have come to look for Mu Nuanxi.

However, what Aunt Ruan said in the next second caused Lu Xue's smile to drop. "The old Master said to let Second Miss go down."

Wen Li stood up and spoke as she walked past Lu Xue, "I left the Mu Family when I was five years old. I've lived freely and willfully outside for the past fifteen years. I would never starve to death even without food from the Mu Family. People can think highly of themselves, but they can't be shameless."

After Wen Li left the room, Lu Xue realized that she was talking about her.

"This wild girl." She gritted her teeth and was about to chase after her.

Aunt Ruan reached out to hold her back. "Madam, the old Master values ​​the second Miss very much. At this time, I think you should not hit the gun."

"When did I need you to teach me?" Lu Xue broke free from her grip and walked out.

Auntie Ruan stood in place and sighed. The Madam was usually very calm and collected. Even if she had any dissatisfaction, she can still hide it in her heart.

What's going on today that she became so impatient?

Wen Li went downstairs and found that it wasn't just Nan Sheng who came but Nan Pei is also with him. The two of them sat side by side and were talking to the old man.

The closer she got, the more she could hear Mu Kui Yuan's words and Nan Pei's soft laughter from time to time. At this time, Mu Chenyu and his brother were not present. Li Mengluo and Mu Jing An sat beside them.

At their feet there were several delicate gift boxes, presumably presents.

"Nan Sheng hasn't come over for a long time. This old man doesn't know much about you young people. When you're free, you should come over more often." Mu Kui Yuan smiled as he spoke to the two of them.

"You're too polite. I'm usually busy with my work, but I'll come over more often in the future. I hope you won't get annoyed by then."

Nan Pei listened to her brother's formulized answers and felt sleepy. If it weren't for helping Nan Sheng avoid suspicion, she wouldn't have come to the Mu family.

Although the two families knew each other, this was her first time coming to the Mu family.

As a child, Nan Sheng had been here diligently. After growing up, he did not step into the Mu family's door again.

Mu Nuanxi came over from the pantry with a smile on her face as she placed the tea in front of them.

"Sister Nan Pei, this is your favorite flower tea, Brother Sheng, your black coffee, with some milk."

Nan Pei looked at the teacup that she had placed in front of them and laughed. Mu Nuanxi really remembered everyone's preferences.

Especially Nan Sheng, he didn't even let go of his favorite cup.

"Thank you." Nan Sheng said politely.

Mu Nuanxi lowered her head, her ears tinged with a faint crimson. She looked like a little girl.

"Our family's  Xi' er is really biased. My aunt has been here many times, but I haven't seen her make me a cup of tea that I like." Mu Jing An smiled.

Mu Nuanxi stomped her feet coquettishly. "Aunt, what are you saying?"

"Good, good, good, our little princess has really grown up, she still has the mood."

Mu Kui Yuan saw the communication between the two children and nodded in satisfaction.

"Wen Li." Nan Pei, holding a cup, saw Wen Li coming downstairs and greeted her happily.

She nods and sat down on the furthest sofa.

"Nan Sheng, you often came here when you were young. See if you still remember Li Li. You guys used to play well." Mu Kui Yuan pointed at Wen Li and introduced her to Nan Sheng.

"We met yesterday, and Wen Li has indeed grown more iconic than when she was a child."

Mu Nuanxi stood to the side with the tray in her arms. When she saw the way Nan Sheng looked at Wen Li, her porcelain-like fingers turned white.

"Grandpa Mu, I came here to invite Wen Li to visit me. I don't know if you will agree." Nan Pei went over and spoke.

Directly stating the meaning of their coming, Mu Kui Yuan looked at Mu Wen Li, and then look at Mu Nuanxi.

"Of course. This child has just returned and has no friends in Ningzhou. I was worried about her. If Miss Nan is willing to take her out for a walk, I will be happy."

Mu Kui Yuan looked at Wen Li and said, " Li Li, you should go out with Miss Nan."

Wen Li lowered her head and fiddled with her phone. “Won't go."

The refusal was very thorough, causing the enthusiastic Mu Kui Yuan to be stunned.

Mu Jing An frowned as well. Lu Xue, who was following Wen Li downstairs, also looked surprised.

"Don't be like that, Wen Li. Sister Nan Pei has a lot of fun stuff. You'll definitely like it."

Nan Sheng listened to his sister coaxing in a child-like tone, he cannot help but touch his forehead, 'This childlike innocence of his sister ah'.

The girl in front of them is already twenty years old, not twelve.

"Li Li, how can this be? A girl of your age always needs to take a look outside." Elder Mu advised.

The child didn't understand at all. Although Nan Pei didn't like to attend any kind of banquet and only focused on her designs, she is still the daughter of the Nan family in Ningzhou. They held an important position in the upper class.

Being friends with Nan Pei is naturally the best.

"Li Li, Sister Nan Pei likes you as well. Our two families are close, so it's always good to have more interactions." Mu Nuanxi spoke patiently.

Nan Sheng looked at the girl who decisively refused, and then thought of the man's explanation when he went out. He took out a palm-sized transparent box from the gift box beside his feet and handed it over.

"This is a small gift for you. See if you like it."

Wen Li saw a transparent box with a bright yellow tassel inside.

Something flashed through her mind and she agreed, "Alright, I promise to go with you."

Nan Sheng heaved a sigh of relief. He recalled the calmness of the person who had given the item to him. He was also curious about what this was to make Mu Wen Li agree to go with Nan Pei.
