The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2689: Chapter 20: Did You Have Your Eyes on This Heir All Along?

"Even if you’re in a hurry, it’s not urgent within this moment. Look at the time, Shuangshuang is probably asleep."

"What do you know?" said Qi Yunqiao, while calling the maid over to comb her hair, "This is a lifetime event, something girls value the most."

Mu Niancheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, looked into the mirror at her and said, "Qi Yunqiao, I suddenly want to ask you something."

"What is it?"

"This lifetime event makes Shuangshuang anxious, why aren’t you? It seems like back then, you decided on our engagement in less than a few breaths. Tell me, did you already have your eyes on this heir? When I said you’d marry me, it was just what you wanted, wasn’t it? Actually, were you pretending to consider for that little bit of time?"

Qi Yunqiao laughed, "Oh, you’re really slow, just realizing this now? Your brain is so frustrating!"

Mu Niancheng gritted his teeth, "You little brat, still haven’t dealt with you properly?"

"Go away, you’re such a nuisance here." Mu Niancheng was angry enough to want to bite her, but Qi Yunqiao had already turned away, ignoring him.

This left him feeling quite stifled.

"Shuangshuang isn’t asleep yet?" When Qi Yunqiao arrived at the courtyard with others, Mu Shuang was looking around outside.

"Sister-in-law!" Seeing Qi Yunqiao appear, Mu Shuang’s anxious heart relaxed a bit, though not completely.

"Come on, let’s go inside to talk."

Once inside, Qi Yunqiao had the servants stay outside while she took Mu Shuang into the inner room.

"Sister-in-law..."

"I’ve spoken to the Ye Family," said Qi Yunqiao, "That Xiaoyu has been driven away, my third aunt will arrange for someone to propose soon."

"Ah... what about my parents?" Mu Shuang hesitated.

Qi Yunqiao smiled, "Leave that to the Ye Family to worry about. Don’t worry, it’s not your fault, you didn’t want it, you’re a victim too. Your parents won’t be so unreasonable."

"Yes, thank you, sister-in-law!" Mu Shuang said gratefully.

Otherwise, she would still be living in fear now.

"If you truly want to thank me, make me more of those embroidered handkerchiefs."

"That’s no problem."

"Alright, I’ve told you everything, you should rest early."

Qi Yunqiao patted her shoulder, ready to leave, but then whispered, "Shuangshuang, later ask Aunt to choose a more capable maid for you. This Siya is somewhat useless; if she couldn’t find you, and you didn’t return, why didn’t she report to Hua’en? Fortunately, you’re still in the Ye Residence, but if someone tried to take you outside the residence, would she also hide it?"

"Yes, sister-in-law, I understand."

After Qi Yunqiao left, Mu Shuang had a momentary urge to jump up because her most worrying problem was solved.

Sister-in-law also said that the Ye Family will propose, Ye Rongqing, Heir Ye, she was not unfamiliar with Ye Rongqing.

Due to frequent interactions between the Mu Family and the Ye Family, although they had limited contact because of the difference between men and women, in her impression, he’s a young man not yet come of age. Though not as dazzling as her brothers, he has his own merits—kind-hearted, refreshing, and loves helping others.

She thought, if she truly marries such a person, life’s certainly won’t be difficult.

"Creak..." She was deep in thought when the door was pushed open.

Who would have thought, turning her head, she saw Ye Rongqing behind her, which startled her, thinking she was seeing things.
