117. The scourge of arrogance(1/3)

It was already evening when Mu Yan returned to Prince Xiao’s mansion. Su Ji’s legs were fine, but they were so cold that they had to be well maintained. After Mu Yan applied the injection, she prescribed another prescription for Su Qi.

Su Qi repeatedly praised Mu Yan's medical skills at that time. Mu Yan told Su Ji and Su Qi irresponsibly that she was just trying, whether the medicine was right or not...

Of course, Mu Yan was joking. Although she thought her medical skills were average, she was still very confident about Su Ji's legs.

"I have something to tell you." Mu Yan spoke to Xiao Xinghan when she returned to Prince Xiao's mansion and saw Xiao Xinghan.

Xiao Xinghan put down the book in his hand and reached out to Mu Yan. Mu Yan obediently went over and sat on his lap, hooked his neck and said, "My cousin has a crush on your sister."

"No." Xiao Xing said coldly.

"Why can't it?" Mu Yan expressed confusion.

"Su Ji is too weak." Xiao Xinghan did not hide his contempt for Su Ji at all.

Mu Yan curled her lips slightly: "But your sister said in person that she likes my cousin, so she won't marry him if she doesn't want to marry him."

Xiao Xinghan frowned: "It must be Su Ji who lied to her!"

Mu Yan smiled: "I feel the same way. My cousin is so ill-hearted. But this is a good thing, and they will be very good together. As for my cousin's martial arts, it has nothing to do with whether he will be good to Xin'er, right?"

Xiao Xing snorted coldly, obviously a little unhappy about it.

"Where is Xiao Yan? Has he come to find you?" Mu Yan asked Xiao Xing.

"Yes." Xiao Xinghan said as he played with Mu Yan's white and slender fingers.

"Did he speak?" Mu Yan asked Xiao Xinghan.

"Saying it means not saying it." Xiao Xinghan said.

Mu Yan understood that Tuoba Yan had spoken, but he was still unwilling to mention his experience on his way back to China. But don’t worry, there has been great progress now, take your time.

Murong Shu, who was in Leiyang City, Tianli Kingdom, originally planned to spend the New Year in Leiyang City before returning to Mingyue Kingdom, but suddenly came from Mingyue Kingdom that some of the business of the Murong family had problems. After Murong Shu said hello to Xiao Xinghan, he quickly left Leiyang City and returned to the country.

Half a month has passed since Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan got married. Almost everyone in the world knows that Mu Yan, the legendary world's number one sick man, was not killed by Xiao Xinghan after marrying Xiao Xinghan because Xiao Xinghan is greedy for her beauty and is reluctant to kill her.

The rumors also say that Xiao Xinghan has taken action to cure Mu Yan's illness, and then he is lingering with Mu Yan every day, indulging in the land of gentleness and unable to extricate himself.

Xiao Mansion.

That evening, Ning Ruyan said that she wanted to cook herself and asked the servants to prepare the ingredients she wanted for the kitchen, and then they all left.

"Mom, I'll help you." Xiao Xinyue also entered the kitchen and looked at the many ingredients that Ning Ruyan prepared and said, "Do you have to do all these?"

Ning Ruyan couldn't hide her smile from the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, and while busying her work, she said, "Everything needs to be made is the dishes your elder brother loves to eat. This is the first time your brother and sister-in-law have been married, so she has to prepare it."

Xiao Xinyue smiled: "Mom, what if the taste of brother changes?"

Ning Ruyan was slightly stunned: "Can you do?"

"I'm kidding. My brother and sister-in-law will definitely like it very much. Let's do it quickly." Xiao Xinyue said with a smile.

Here the mother and daughter were busy in the kitchen talking and laughing, while over there, Xiao Yuanqi was drinking tea alone in the small study.

Yesterday, Mu Yan told Xiao Xinyue through Su Qi that she and Xiao Xinghan would come to have dinner today. Ning Ruyan also wrote a special recipe for this, which listed the dishes that Xiao Xinghan liked the most in her memory. She started preparing ingredients early this morning. Many of the ingredients originally found in the mansion were not fresh enough, so she asked someone to go out and buy them back.

"Dad." Suddenly hearing Xiao Xinghan's voice, Xiao Yuanqi looked up and saw that Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan had come in at some point, and Mu Yan was holding a little boy who looked six or seven years old.

Xiao Yuanqi looked at Tuoba Yan and his expression moved slightly: "This is..."

"Xiao Yan, this is grandpa." Mu Yan looked at Tuoba Yan and said with a smile.

Tuoba Yan pursed his lips and shouted: "Grandpa."

"Okay, okay." Xiao Yuanqi was obviously very happy. He got up and walked over and grabbed Tuoba Yan's little hand, picked him up, and looked at him with a smile, "What's your name?"

Tuoba Yan said with a stern face: "My name is Xiao Yanlang."

"Good name, then grandpa called you Lang Lang, okay?" Xiao Yuanqi ignored Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan directly, and sat on his lap with his arms in his arms and said with a smile. He felt that Tuoba Yan's nickname sounded the same as Mu Yan's nickname, which was not suitable.

Tuoba Yan nodded slightly: "Okay."

"You sit down, don't see each other at home." Xiao Yuanqi then looked up at Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan, "Your mother and Xin'er are still cooking, so it should be ready soon."

"I'll go and help." Mu Yan looked like a well-behaved daughter-in-law.

Although Xiao Yuanqi expressed doubts about whether Mu Yan would cook, Mu Yan's attitude was still very popular with the elders. He nodded and said, "Okay, go, Xinghan sits down and drinks tea."

Mu Yan went out, and Xiao Xinghan sat down opposite Xiao Yuanqi, watching Xiao Yuanqi ask Tuoba Yan a gentle voice. Tuoba Yan was well-behaved, and he answered whatever Xiao Yuanqi asked. Although he didn't say much, his serious face looked more like Xiao Xinghan.

Xiao Yuanqi suddenly lowered his voice and asked Xiao Xinghan: "Xinghan, this child is really not you..." Xiao Yuanqi thought that Tuoba Yan looked like Xiao Xinghan's biological son, but Mu Yan had previously said that this was adopted by her and Xiao Xinghan. Xiao Yuanqi was afraid that Xiao Xinghan would deceive Mu Yan and would be exposed in the future.

Xiao Xinghan said two words in a faint expression: "No."

"That's fate." Xiao Yuanqi laughed. Since Xiao Xinghan said that, he believed that Xiao Xinghan did not lie to him.

Mu Yan entered the kitchen. Ning Ruyan looked at the tiredness in her eyes and held her hand and said, "Xing'er is young and energetic and uncontrollable. You can't follow him all, otherwise..."

Ning Ruyan suddenly realized that Xiao Xinyue was also next to her. She said this was not appropriate, so she blinked at Mu Yan, meaning that you should understand everything about her mother. Don’t let that kid bully you so ruthlessly…

Mu Yan curled her lips slightly and blinked at Ning Ruyan, indicating that she understood.

"Mom, sister-in-law, what puzzle are you fighting?" Xiao Xinyue came over reluctantly.

"It's okay, hurry up, there are only two dishes left, and the meal will be started when it is ready." Ning Ruyan continued to go busy and said that she would just sit by the side without her having to do it.

The food was soon prepared and set up on the table. Ning Ruyan called Xiao Yuanqi and Xiao Xinghan to come for dinner. Then she saw that there was a child next to Xiao Yuanqi. She was immediately attracted to her attention and pulled Tuoba Yan to sit beside her and spoke softly, regardless of Mu Yan and Xiao Xinghan.

It has been a matter of not having a family to sit together for many years.

Xiao Yuanqi looked at his children and couldn't help but sigh: "This year, we finally reunited."

"Brother, this is what my mother makes for you, and it is all the dishes you like." Xiao Xinyue looked at Xiao Xinghan and said, and afterwards, she said to Mu Yan, "Sister-in-law, what do you like to eat? Tell us, let me make it for you next time."

"It's already very good." Mu Yan smiled slightly. She also realized that Xiao Xinghan liked these dishes, because Xiao Xinghan had no special rules before, and she had neither liked nor couldn't eat anything.

Xiao Xinyue thought she was secretly looking at Xiao Xinghan without knowing it. Xiao Xinghan was not wearing a mask. Xiao Xinyue saw Xiao Xinghan's appearance and thought that her brother was really good-looking, a hundred times better than that dark-hearted Prime Minister Su!

Xiao Xinghan had long noticed Xiao Xinyue's behavior, and reached out to rub Xiao Xinyue's head and said, "Eat."

Xiao Xinyue was instantly happy and took the bowl to eat with a well-behaved look. She felt so happy. Her brother finally came home and still liked her appearance very much.

Tuoba Yan sat between Xiao Yuanqi and Ning Ruyan, and seemed a little uncomfortable with Xiao Yuanqi and Ning Ruyan's love. The small bowl in front of him was full of vegetables, and Ning Ruyan smiled and said gently to feed him.

"Eat it yourself." Xiao Xinghan looked at Tuoba Yan with a stern expression and said. In the Xiao Prince's Mansion, neither Xiao Xinghan nor Mu Yan had ever fed Tuoba Yan for food. Xiao Xinghan even asked Tuoba Yan to take a bath, wear clothes, and sleep by himself, and was not accustomed to it at all.

Before Tuoba Yan could serve the bowl, Xiao Yuanqi and Ning Ruyan were not happy.

Xiao Yuanqi frowned and looked at Xiao Xinghan and said, "Langlang is still young, don't scare the child."

Ning Ruyan hugged Tuoba Yan and coaxed her for a few words, then looked at Xiao Xinghan and said earnestly: "Xing'er, our Langlang is so obedient, what are you scolding him? Do you know if you should speak gently to the child?"

Mu Yan looked at Xiao Xinghan with a smile, saying that no matter whether their three generations of ancestors and grandchildren are related to blood, it is absolutely true that they are relatives of each other, and Xiao Xinghan has fallen out of favor.

Xiao Xinghan didn't say anything else and ate silently. Xiao Xinyue put a big chicken leg in the plate in front of Xiao Xinghan, and whispered: "Brother, you should eat it, you should be better for Lang Lang in the future."

Xiao Xinghan picked up the chicken leg and put it on Mu Yan's plate, then picked up a piece of bitter melon for Xiao Xinyue. Xiao Xinyue wrinkled her little face and chose to forgive her somewhat petty brother between eating or not...

The meal was so happy that Xiao Yuanqi and Ning Ruyan were so happy. Ning Ruyan also brought out a jar of very storytelling wine, saying that it was the plum blossom wine that Xiao Xinghan brewed for her when she was ten years old. She buried it in the backyard for two jars, and she hasn't been willing to drink it for so many years. Now she takes it out for Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan to taste it.

As soon as the wine jar was opened, a cold plum fragrance floated out. Xiao Xinyue raised the glass and said that she wanted to come a little too, but she was choked after taking a sip. Tuoba Yan picked up the glass of wine in front of him, tilted his neck and drank it all, and then looked at Xiao Xinyue without changing his face, as if he was saying that Xiao Xinyue was too weak and could not even drink.

Xiao Yuanqi and Ning Ruyan both laughed and said that their grandson was promising. Xiao Xinyue said weakly that she could not even compare to Langlang when drinking. She was so stupid...

Mu Yan tasted it and felt that the fragrance left on her cheeks was long aftertaste. She didn't know that Xiao Xinghan, who was childhood, had such skills. When she went back tonight, she would have to "question".

Xiao Yuanqi has not been drinking happily for many years. Today, he was happy and drank a few more glasses. Later, he was a little drunk and hugged Tuoba Yan and started drinking. Tuoba Yan also boldly refused everyone, drinking one cup after another. Ning Ruyan quickly pulled Tuoba Yan over and asked Xiao Xinyue to cook sober soup.

"Mom, we're going back now." Mu Yan saw Xiao Yuanqi's sleepy look and said she was leaving.

"What's the hurry? Your father will let him sleep when he sleeps. Mom has something to say to you." Ning Ruyan said to Mu Yan.

Finally, Xiao Xinghan helped Xiao Yuanqi into the inner room, and Tuoba Yan followed in. Xiao Xinyue was cleaning up. Ning Ruyan asked Mu Yan to ignore it. She took Mu Yan to the small study room in the compartment, as if she had something to say to Mu Yan.

"Yan'er, you are still young. Mom said before that you would not fulfill your family first. It seems that Xing'er is just a frightened person." Ning Ruyan said, holding Mu Yan's hand.

Mu Yan's face turned slightly red: "Mom, I'm in good health."

"What's so good? It's Xing'er who is trying to make you hard." Ning Ruyan looked at Mu Yan with a heartache, "Yan'er, you are born with a good look. Our Xing'er also likes you, but you can't let his temperament."

"Well, I'll sleep with him tonight." Mu Yan said seriously at Ning Ruyan.

Ning Ruyan smiled: "Mom doesn't mean that either. In short, if you should be careful, you have to. You are young and can have another baby in two years, so don't worry."

"Well, your Xing'er said that too." Mu Yan's lips curled slightly.

"He must be young and playful." Ning Ruyan looked clear in her heart.

Mu Yan smiled: "Mom, you are so wise." Mu Yan also felt that Xiao Xinghan didn't let her have a baby as soon as possible just to "play".

"It's a pity that you can't come often. I have a few medicinal recipes for nourishing my body. Take them and go back to replenish them more to see if you lose weight." Ning Ruyan took out a few prescriptions written early in the morning and handed them to Mu Yan.

Mu Yan took it away and promised Ning Ruyan that she would take good care of her body.

When Ning Ruyan and Mu Yan came out of the study, they saw Xiao Xinghan and Tuoba Yan sitting opposite each other, neither looking at each other, as if they were enemies.

Ning Ruyan smiled: "Yan'er, Lang Lang is a child who is very thoughtful, you must enlighten him."

Mu Yan nodded slightly: "I understand, don't worry, mom."

Seeing Xiao Xinghan holding Mu Yan, Mu Yan hugging Tuoba Yan and leaving together, Ning Ruyan said with relief: "I'm so relieved. Xing'er has found a good girl."

When she returned to Prince Xiao’s Mansion, Mu Yan first sent Tuoba Yan to rest. When she was about to leave, Tuoba Yan called out "Mom" hesitantly.
