Whispers Beneath The Blossom

On the early morning of the Moon Worship Festival, there was a small grain storage silo in a fertile field in the suburbs of the capital.

Qin Muxue now had money and food.

However, Qin Muxue didn't plan to spend her money openly.

Otherwise, it would be really troublesome for her to be targeted by Ou Yangnian and her daughter.

Still, Qin Muxue was very happy. If she couldn't spend it openly, she could spend it secretly. She could invest in an industry or something, and that would be good enough.

"Miss, you're awake!" Seeing that she was awake, Tao Su quickly brought some water to wash her face.

Qin Muxue had recovered quite well in the past few days. There were some wounds that were slowly beginning to form scabs.

The bigger wounds were itchy and numb. However, this was a normal symptom of recovery. It meant that the wounds were healing.

After breakfast, Qin Muxue did some warm-up exercises in the yard. This body was a little weak, so the power that she was accustomed to releasing for her exercises were greatly reduced, hence she would exercise every day.

After lunch, Qin Muxue was led to sit on the chair by Tao Su who combed her hair.

"It's fine as long as it's simple," said Qin Muxue.

Tao Su nodded. According to what she said, she just tied a simple bun for Qin Muxие.

Then she brought over the new clothes sent by Ou Yangnian. As expected, she was very good at face-saving. It was a set of pink gauze clothes, and the hem of the skirt was embroidered with a large number of pear blossoms, which was very gorgeous.

"I won't change into the inner garments. I'll just put on the outer garment," Qin Muxue said.

Qin Muxue woke up early. The property that Shen Die left for her had not been abandoned at all.

She also roughly looked at the account book and found that there seemed to be no problem. For so many years, she had actually accumulated 5,000 taels of silver! Although Tao Su was puzzled, she still followed her instructions.

After being by her side for the past few days, Nanny Zhang and Tao Su found that Qin Muxue had changed. In the past, she was so timid that Nanny Zhang had to stand up for her in everything, while she would only hide in the room and cry. Now, Qin Muxue was very opinionated and knew how to write a prescription for herself.

When she got dressed, Ou Yangnian sent someone to tell her that a guest had come and asked her to go to Ou Yangnian's place. Ever since she time-travelled here, this was the first time that Qin Muxue had left this courtyard.

Only then did she realize that the entire Qin mansion was very large and it was very well kept. It was unlike her courtyard where there were only weeds.

Ou Yangnian lived in the Xinjian Courtyard. As soon as Qin Muxue stepped into the courtyard, she heard happy voices coming from inside.

Qin Muxue suddenly thought of a saying,"building your happiness on one's sorrow".

Qin Muxue took a deep breath and entered the room. She realized that Old Madame was also here.

"Greetings, Grandmother."

Qin Muxue bowed.

"Peace be with you."

All of a sudden, it was quiet in the room. Qin Mufeng's gentle voice sounded, which was very pleasant to the ear.

"Sister, you're here.Please sit down."

Qin Muxue once again saw the drama queen. She was already used to it.

Qin Mufeng was dressed very beautifully today. He was wearing a lake-blue skirt and a peacock hairpin on her head. When she spoke, the peacock hairpin swayed and its feathers moved slightly. She looked very beautiful.

"Stand up."

The Old Grandma, who had been smiling, said coldly with no expression on her face.

"Thank you, Grandmother," Qin Muxue said softly.

Old Grandma was nearly sixty years old and had a strong body.

When she faced others, she was a kind old lady. When she faced Qin Muxue, she was a strict old woman.

"This is your aunt and your cousin, Yue Er."

Qin Muxue had no choice but to bow again.

"Greetings, Auntie, Yue Er."

This woman was Qin Lei's sister-in-law, Tian Yilan.

"Muxue has grown up now. I haven't seen you for many years, have I?"

Tian Yilan laughed.

Qin Muxue almost couldn't help sneering. Not only hadn't she seen her for many years, but she had never even seen her at all! As the laughingstock of Qin mansion all these years, she had been hidden away by Qin Lei.

"This is a little token of my appreciation." Tian Yilan took Qin Muxue's hand and stuffed a jade bracelet into her hand.

"Muxue, I hope you won't dislike it!"

"Thank you, Auntie." Qin Muxue took the jade bracelet and put it on.

"Hmph."

Qin Muyue saw that she put on the bracelet and immediately revealed a look of disdain. "What a country bumpkin."

This jade bracelet was not pure and of good quality. There were even different colors in it. Only Qin Muxue would treat it as a treasure!

Qin Muyue was only fourteen or fifteen years old this year, but she was used to flattering the powerful and stepping on the weak. She did her best to curry favour with Qin Mufeng. Now that she saw Qin Muxue, her face was filled with disdain.

Tian Yilan also showed a sarcastic smile and pretended not to hear her daughter's sarcasm.

Of course, Qin Muxue pretended

that she didn't hear anything. She

found a seat nearby and sat down.

"The three daughters of our Qin family have turned into big girls in the blink of an eye!" Tian Yilan covered her mouth and laughed exaggeratedly.

"Time flies so fast."

"That's right," Ou Yangnian said, "Muxue has been betrothed to Prince Ding by His Majesty. Mufeng is already two years older than her. I don't know if Mufeng can have such a good marriage."

Qin Muxue's expression was the same as usual. She watched as the two of them chatted about family affairs as if nothing had happened, while she just sat there quietly.
