Zhuang Wan looked at Mu Qiulan in the mirror. A vivid iris was painted on the dark spot with a colored pen. Against the snow-white skin color and delicate eyebrows, the whole person looked charming. It was just covered with paint.

Despite her flaws, her beauty has already begun to show. If the dark spots are removed in the future, this face will look amazing.

It's a pity that only Mu knows how to remove dark spots. She will definitely not do it before the opportunity comes, otherwise she will harm Mu Qiulan.

"How is it?" Zhuang Wan couldn't help but admire: "You should know how beautiful you are!"

Mu Qiulan touched her cheeks with her fingers. She had never thought of using paint to cover her blemishes, but it was just an attempt to cover up and deceive herself. Besides, the distance between her and Xiao Jingchen was not just about appearance.

But she didn't want Zhuang Wan to worry, so she curved her lips and said with a smile: "It really looks good."

Zhuang Wan: "If you like it, I will draw it for you every day."

Mu Qiulan said: "Painting on the face is already time-consuming and laborious, so let's just do it this time. Wouldn't it be extremely troublesome if we did it every day? I understand the girl's kindness. All women care about appearance. If there is a slight flaw on the face, it will be removed."

I am used to wearing a veil to cover my face, but this makes me feel uncomfortable."

"That's true, it's really not appropriate to go out like this." Zhuang Wan said: "I thought of this method out of desperation, but I didn't think about whether it was practical."

"I know you have good intentions." Mu Qiulan turned around and held her hand: "The girl and I are very attached to each other. If the girl doesn't dislike it, how about you and I becoming sworn brothers, as befitting a sister?"

Zhuang Wan naturally wanted it. She was the heroine, the real daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, and in the future she would be the empress of the world. It would be a fool not to hug such a thick thigh in front of her.

However, she also thought that if Yan Cheng knew the truth one day, he would definitely regard the Xiao family as enemies. When Yan Cheng and Xiao Jingchen were fighting, she and Mu Qiulan were really in trouble, and they didn't know that this was the case.

How long can sisterhood last?

Seeing her hesitation, Mu Qiulan looked disappointed, "It doesn't matter if the girl doesn't want to."

"No, you misunderstood." Zhuang Wan said: "Of course I am very willing. I was just thinking about which of us will be the younger sister and which one will be the older sister."

After hearing this, Mu Qiulan felt happy and said with a smile: "Of course we talk about sisters according to their age. I think you and I should be the same age, but I don't know what month you were born."

Zhuang Wan said: "It goes without saying, I must be the sister."

Just kidding, how could she be the same age as the heroine? If I remember correctly, the heroine should be eighteen or nineteen years old at this time. But people in ancient times would look more mature, and someone like her who is already twenty-two years old would be married.

An old girl who won’t go out anymore.

"Okay, then I am the younger sister." Mu Qiulan was also happy and immediately stood up to greet her: "Sister has met elder sister."

Zhuang Wan hurriedly helped her up: "I am a casual person, and this is not a palace. Since we are like sisters, we must not have these red tapes in the future. You and I can do whatever we want."

Mu Qiulan nodded: "I listen to my sister."

…

After Yan Cheng came out of the military camp, it could be said that he felt like he was returning home. In the past, when he spent time with Zhuang Wan, he didn't feel that now it was like three autumns apart.

When he rushed back excitedly, he saw the door fell to the ground. He was shocked and rushed into the yard: "Wan'er! Wan'er!"

Mu was the first to come out when she heard the sound. When she saw another wild man running in from nowhere, he yelled like crazy. She was so frightened that she raised the spatula in her hand: "You...who are you?"

Zhuang Wan and Mu Qiulan walked out immediately, and Mu Qiulan said happily: "Master Li."

She quickly stopped Mu and whispered a few words to her. Mu then smiled sheepishly and said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, you guys talk, I will continue cooking."

"I'm here to help, too." Mu Qiulan followed wisely.

After the two left, Yan Cheng frowned and walked over blankly, asking Zhuang Wan: "What... is going on?"

Zhuang Wan pulled him under the grape trellis, "You sit down first, and I'll talk to you slowly."

Then she told Mu Qiulan and Mu that they were leaving Shangshu Mansion and staying here temporarily.

Yan Cheng was speechless after hearing this.

He originally planned to build this small courtyard as a home for his future marriage to Zhuang Wan, but now that other people have moved in, and they are all women, how can he have the nerve to come back in the future?

"Then...then I'm afraid I won't be able to come back often in the future."

"You can come back if you want!" Zhuang Wan said, "I have already said hello to sister Qiu Lan, and Aunt Mu is also a very good person to talk to."

"But, it's still a lot of inconvenience." Yan Cheng sighed secretly, didn't dwell on the matter anymore, and asked what happened to the courtyard gate.

Zhuang Wan also told the story about Xiao Jingchen's visit today, and also asked: "If he asks, don't let it slip."

Yan Cheng nodded: "Don't worry, since the prince has not sent anyone to arrest you and return to the camp, I guess he doesn't take this matter to heart. If he really wants to question you, I will definitely protect you."

However, he was a little confused, why did Xiao Jingchen find this place?

He suddenly heard Xiao Jingyu and asked: "By the way, I forgot to ask you yesterday, when did you and the fourth prince meet?"

"Fourth prince?" Zhuang Wan asked confused: "Who is it?"

Yan Cheng said: "That's Xiao Jingyu."

"Xiao Jingyu..." Zhuang Wan felt that the name was very familiar. After thinking for a moment, she finally remembered, "You are talking about him."

This Xiao Jingyu is also considered a relatively important supporting character in the book. This man is very deep and sinister. He was just an inconspicuous prince at first, but in the end he became the only opponent competing with Xiao Jingchen for the throne.

Yan Cheng asked tentatively: "How did you meet him?"

Zhuang Wan said: "How do I know him?"

She would always take a detour when meeting such a dangerous person.

"But he came to the camp to look for you the day before yesterday." Yan Cheng said with a solemn expression: "I think the reason why the prince found you here today may have something to do with him."

Zhuang Wan: "..."

It seems that Yan Cheng still doesn't know the relationship between Xiao Jingchen and Mu Qiulan, but who the hell is Xiao Jingyu.

"You said Xiao Jingyu came to the military camp to look for me? Are you sure he is looking for me? What is he looking for me for?"

"He said he was looking for Zhuang Wan. Where is the second Zhuang Wan in the camp? Who are you? He didn't say he was looking for you."

Zhuang Wan thought for a while and asked: "Isn't he quite white, tall and thin, like a bamboo pole?"

"..."

Yan Cheng coughed. Who would talk about bamboo poles? Fortunately, there was no one around, otherwise people would hear him and don't cause trouble.

But he still nodded: "Yes."

"So he is Xiao Jingyu?" Zhuang Wan really didn't expect it, "No wonder he said his surname was Xiao, it turns out Xiao is Xiao..."

But the Xiao Jingyu she saw was weak and honest, and she really didn't seem to have any ability.

Yan Cheng didn't hear what she said clearly and asked, "What did you say?"

"Oh, it's okay." Zhuang Wan said: "He was in some trouble at that time, so I helped him, but I didn't expect that he was Xiao Jingyu."

"Oh~" Yan Cheng slightly curled his lower lip.

"I see."
