Chapter 836 I'll give you half
Tao Muzhan knew nothing about it. He felt guilty and timid, as if he had been caught doing something bad, and was shocked suddenly.
"Ah? Hui'er?"
Xu Yingyuan first handed the gift box to her personal maid, then walked to the side of the stone lion, took Zhuang Xianhui's hand, and pulled her to Brother Mu Zhan.
"Hui Er, come here."
"Look at you, why are you hiding when you want to find me?"
Telling him about the meeting via letter would damage her image in Brother Mu Zhan's heart, so she changed the subject and did not give Zhuang Xianhui the chance to expose her.
"Look quickly, Brother Mu Zhan gave me a lot of gifts."
"I don't need so many. Pick some and take them back home."
Zhuang Xianhui smiled and shook her head.
"Sister, you are so polite. I feel so unworthy of it."
Xu Yingyuan's performance was very enthusiastic.
"What's there to be ashamed of?"
"I gave you a gift, why don't you accept it? And you said I was polite, but I think you are the most polite."
"In the past, you always gave me half of the emperor's rewards; now, I should give you half of the gifts I received."
"We sisters have always been close to each other."
"Don't be polite, Hui'er. Just pick whichever one you like. Don't ask me. Just take it."
Zhuang Xianhui kept smiling and gave a reminder.
"After all, it's Brother Mu Zhan who's giving the gift, why don't you ask for his opinion?"
Xu Yingyuan responded and asked.
"Yes, that's right, my sister is thoughtful."
"Brother Mu Zhan, don't you mind?"
Tao Muzhan's attempt to woo another woman was seen by Hui'er, and he still looked timid.
"do not mind."
Xu Yingyuan responded with a smile, then turned her gaze to Zhuang Xianhui, and spoke softly, as gentle as the breeze.
"Now, you should have no worries, right?"
"This is my sister's love for me. How can you refuse it? Relax and choose."
Zhuang Xianhui smiled happily.
"Yes, thank you, sister."
She knew exactly what Sister Yuan was thinking, and wanting to improve their relationship, she did what she wanted.
She glanced at the items in the gift box and found they all looked familiar. She picked up one of them at random and pretended to be familiar.
"I like this hairpin very much."
Xu Yingyuan reached out, took the jade hairpin, and looked at it carefully.
"This one? It's very good. It suits your temperament very well."
She smiled and immediately suggested it.
"Brother Mu Zhan, please don't be partial. Since you have already given me a hairpin, why don't you give Hui'er a jade hairpin as well?"
Tao Muzhan was caught off guard and was extremely frightened.
"Ah? No, no, no, that's not good."
Upon hearing the rejection, Xu Yingyuan's lips curled up with a hint of pride.
"What's wrong? Why is it wrong? Brother Mu Zhan, how could you bear to only decorate my hairpin and ignore Hui'er?"
Turning around, she saw Zhuang Xianhui looking embarrassed. She lowered the corners of her lips, pretended to be kind, and said comforting words.
"Hui'er, don't think too much. Brother Mu Zhan definitely doesn't ignore you or hate you."
"You are already married, and he is afraid that any intimacy would be against etiquette and would hurt the relationship between you and Mr. Ning."
"Blame me. I made you sad by asking for this unnecessary thing. I apologize to you. I'm sorry."
Even though he thought about what Hui'er had said, that they understood each other, Tao Muzhan was still nervous, fearing that the government would plot against him and make Hui'er unhappy.
He looked at Hui'er, hoping to convey his love through his eyes and comfort her sad mood.
Noticing the look in Brother Mu Zhan's eyes, as if he couldn't forget the old love, Xu Yingyuan's eyes suddenly became gloomy.
Knowing that Sister Yuan wanted to feel the joy of victory, Zhuang Xianhui pretended to be heartbroken and smiled bitterly.
"I am fine."
"As long as my sister is happy, I am satisfied."
Seeing Zhuang Xianhui jealous and sad, Xu Yingyuan became proud again.
"Hui Er is really generous."
"Go ahead and pick whatever you like."
She smiled disdainfully in her heart.
Ah.
Zhuang Xianhui, can't you bear just such a small thing?
The best is yet to come.
After entering the mansion and chatting about family matters, Zhuang Xianhui said goodbye and left.
Tao Muzhan hurriedly caught up.
"Hui Er, wait."
Zhuang Xianhui stopped, looked back and smiled faintly.
"Brother Mu Zhan, is there something wrong?"
There were occasional pedestrians on the street, and Tao Muzhan spoke in a measured and appropriate manner.
"Of course I have something to do. I can't stop you for no reason."
Zhuang Xianhui lowered her eyebrows to show respect.
"Brother, please give me your orders."
Tao Muzhan was not in a hurry to talk about the matter, but gave his affirmation first.
"After giving her the gift, Yuan'er's anger has indeed subsided. This shows that your idea is very good."
The morning air was refreshing and invigorating. Zhuang Xianhui walked back home leisurely.
"Thank you for the compliment, brother."
Tao Muzhan kept his distance, found topics to talk to her, let things take their course, and then sent her back home.
"But Yuan'er still didn't give in and promised to be in a romantic relationship."
"Can you help me think of a way to please her?"
Zhuang Xianhui nodded.
"it is good."
Tao Muzhan was overjoyed.
"Hui Er, you are so kind."
"You are the best person in the world to me."
He spoke in cryptic terms, expressed his feelings, and made promises.
"I hope that one day I can repay your kindness and love you even more."
Zhuang Xianhui smiled awkwardly.
"In the past, Brother Mu Zhan only knew how to belittle me and never spoke like this."
"I'm really not used to it."
As more and more people passed by, Tao Muzhan did not dare to look directly at Hui'er. He kept his duty and treated the virtuous woman with respect.
"Before, it was nothing serious, so it was okay to just play around."
"Now, the situation is different. I can't bear to speak ill of you."
Zhuang Xianhui asked.
"Why is the situation different now?"
Tao Muzhan chose his words carefully and answered cautiously.
"I am begging for love, so I am bound to neglect you. I am afraid that I will make you sad."
"Only sweet words can warm you for a while."
"I will make it up to you later and will never let you suffer in vain."
Zhuang Xianhui continued to ask.
"Why wait until later? Brother Mu Zhan, how are you going to make it up to me?"
Tao Muzhan's face showed a hint of embarrassment.
"Hui Er, some things cannot be said too clearly."
"As long as you understand it in your heart."
Zhuang Xianhui turned the topic and asked a question.
"Brother Mu Zhan, what do you think of a remarried girl?"
Tao Muzhan answered seriously.
"If it were someone else, I would definitely despise her."
"If it's the woman I love, then it's not the same. No matter how many times she's been married, I will love her as always, and it will never change."
Zhuang Xianhui turned her head and glanced at him.
"Even if she is pregnant with her husband's child now?"
Tao Muzhan stopped and was so surprised that he was speechless.
"Ah You……"
Zhuang Xianhui also stopped.
"Let me give you an example. Why are you so surprised, Brother Mu Zhan?"
Tao Muzhan was nervous.
"nothing."
"Child, it may be difficult to accept, but I will try my best to accept all of her."
Zhuang Xianhui compliments.
"Brother Mu Zhan is a role model for men in the world."
Tao Muzhan smiled ashamedly.
"Hui Er, you're too kind."
"Uh... excuse me for asking this, but are you... pregnant?"
Zhuang Xianhui answered truthfully.
"No."
Tao Muzhan breathed a sigh of relief, then slightly annoyed, and gently pushed her.
"You are a naughty girl, you scared me."
"Think of something quickly and don't be careless."
Zhuang Xianhui suggested.
"I was the one who chose all the gifts when we went shopping yesterday. Sister Yuan did not participate. Brother Mu Zhan, why don't you invite her to go shopping again and let her choose her favorite items herself?"
Tao Muzhan didn't have time to think about the idea before he started praising it.
"What a brilliant idea! Hui'er is so smart."
