After walking out of Xiuzhuyuan, Zhao Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

It seems that she is the only one in the world who has a system.

She was already desperate and no longer wanted to compete with Zhao Ruxi.

If someone is two steps ahead of you, you will still want to catch up with her.

But if someone is so far ahead of you, you can only hold them back, and if you can't catch up no matter how hard you try, you will naturally give up and stop competing with her.

But now, she has a golden finger and is a person favored by the gods. She is full of confidence and feels that given time, she will be better than Zhao Ruxi, marry a good husband, gain a more prominent status, and live a better life than in her previous life.

More glorious and happier.

Zhao Jingli and Zhao Jingli often come to the main house now, and this time they came specifically to express their condolences to Zhao Ruxi. Therefore, after coming out of Xiuzhuyuan, they did not go to Zhao Yuanxun's place, but went directly to the main door to prepare to go back.

But as soon as they arrived at the gate of Uncle Suiping's Mansion, they saw a luxurious carriage slowly stopping in front of the house. There was a sign on the carriage with a big word "Mu" written on it.

"Hey, the Mu family's carriage." Zhao Jingan said in surprise, "Who in the uncle's family has anything to do with the Mu family?"

The Mu family is also an aristocratic family. Although they do not have a title, they have a large population and many capable people in the family. Several of them are officials of the third rank or above, two of whom are feudal officials. There are also two second-rank officials in the court. The Mu family

Women even have numerous marriages.

There are many nobles in the capital. When looking at your family background, people rarely look at how high your title is, but rather how much real power you have in your hands.

The Mu family is a family with real power. Although their status in the capital is not top-notch, they can still be regarded as a middle-to-upper-class powerful family. The most important thing is that the Mu family, like the Peng family, is a neutral faction that does not take sides.

.

It's not easy to remain neutral these days. Many people don't actually want to follow the dragon's power. The risks are too great and the rewards are unknown, but they have no choice but to do so.

If a prince comes to win over you, if you don't obey, you will most likely be killed, or someone will keep trying to seduce you. In the future, if that prince really ascends the throne, your family will be completely ruined.

The Mu family's ability not to take sides is all due to the large number of people in the family, marriages from all over the place, involvement with various factions, and the ability to maintain balance.

Faced with such a complicated relationship with the Mu family, all the princes had their scruples. Even if they wanted to win over each other, they would just show it lightly and give up if it didn't work. They did not dare to push for fear that the Mu family would completely fall into the hostile camp.

From this point of view, I have to say that the head of the Mu family is a very remarkable person.

Hearing Zhao Jingan's words, Zhao Jingli shook his head: "I don't know."

While they were talking, two young women had already got off the carriage. One of them was wearing a red dress, but had a cold temperament; the other was wearing a goose-yellow dress and had a gentle demeanor.

If Zhao Ruxi were here, she would know that these are the two sisters Mu Qingqiang and Mu Qinglian.

When Mu Qinglian saw Zhao Jingli and the others coming out of Uncle Suiping's house, they were dressed like their masters. She took a few steps forward, saluted, and asked Zhao Ruyu with a smile: "This girl, I wonder if this is Sui Ping?"

Pingbo Mansion? We are classmates of Miss Zhao Ruxi and came to visit her."

They submitted the notice yesterday. When they come here today, they can just let the maid report directly to the concierge of Suiping Mansion, and someone from the concierge will take them in.

But when they met the master of the Suiping residence, whether it was a relative or someone else, they couldn't turn a blind eye, so they had to go up and ask in person.

When Zhao Ruyu heard that these two people were Zhao Ruxi's classmates, she immediately felt jealous.

When she first entered Jingcheng Women's School, she wanted to make connections. The classmates at Jingcheng Women's School were all from prominent backgrounds, and she could gain great benefits by making friends with any one of them. Compared with her, Zhao Ruxi was in Beining.

, whether it’s a village girl or a small landowner’s daughter, the quality of those you can befriend is vastly different.

Unexpectedly, the Capital Girls' College was a very snobbish place, and everyone formed their own small circles. When she went there, she couldn't squeeze into any circle, and it was not easy to please others. In the end, she could only follow Qi Xuan and others.

I am a little follower. I want to attend a party at the end of the year but I can’t get an invitation.

In Beining, Zhao Ruxi not only became a disciple of Mr. Kumu, but also became sworn friends with the head of Qingyang County, and they were close to the big tree of Zhennan Palace; now there are actually classmates like the Mu family. This really makes Zhao Ruyu heartbroken.

Jealousy and mixed feelings arise.

Who is God’s biological daughter?

These distracting thoughts only lasted for a moment. Zhao Ruxi quickly calmed down and replied with a smile: "It's Suiping's residence. My name is Zhao Ruyu, and Zhao Ruxi is my cousin."

At this time, Nanny Ruan, who was waiting at the concierge, stepped forward at the right time, saluted the two of them and said, "Are you Miss Mu Qi and Miss Mu Ba? Our girl has specially sent an old slave to wait for the two girls here."

At this time, she introduced the identities of both parties.

After the introduction, she made a gesture: "Miss Mu, please come in, my girl has been waiting for a long time."

Mu Qingqiang has always been an arrogant person who doesn't take care of others. When Mu Qinglian was exchanging greetings, she stood aside silently. Now that she heard Grandma Ruan's invitation, she immediately walked in.

Mu Qinglian acted much more thoughtfully. She nodded to the three of them and said, "Let's go in first." Then she followed Mu Qingqiang and entered Uncle Suiping's Mansion.

Zhao Ruyu looked at their retreating figures and sighed: "How did the fifth sister know the girls from the Mu family? Shouldn't all the girls from the Mu family go to school in the Capital Girls' College? Why did they end up in Beining?"

Zhao Jingli was originally the crown prince, and interpersonal relationships in the capital were one of the crown prince's compulsory courses.

He said: "The magistrate of Beining County is named Mu."

In Uncle Suiping's Mansion, Zhao Ruxi had received the report from the concierge and went to the Chuihua Room to greet him.

After Mu Qingqiang and Mu Qinglian met her, they first went to see the old lady, Mrs. Zhu, to say hello, and then followed Zhao Ruxi to Xiuzhuyuan.

Mu Qingqiang entered the Xiuzhuyuan, sat down and said, "Your home is quite quiet."

Mu Qinglian quickly smiled at Zhao Ruxi and explained: "What my eighth sister means is that your home has a very good environment, with many flowers and trees planted, and the environment is elegant. She likes it very much."

She was worried that Zhao Ruxi misunderstood Mu Qingqiang's connotation that the population of the Suiping residence was declining.

The ancients paid attention to the prosperity of the people. For example, the Mu family has seventy or eighty masters alone, and this does not include those who are officials in other places.

Living in the capital was not easy. The Mu family's original status was not prominent and it was impossible to build a house on a large piece of land, so the living was a bit crowded. Zhao Ruxi could live in a large courtyard by herself, but several sisters shared the same courtyard.

, it is inevitable to be noisy, and there are also discords from time to time.

Mu Qingqiang said that because she sincerely envied Zhao Ruxi. But if she heard these words in the other party's ears, she would inevitably be misunderstood. After all, it is not a good thing to have a small population, and the separation of the Suiping family because of the change of children by the Wei family would also be a scandal. If Zhao Ruxi

It would be bad if she misunderstood her cousin and ridiculed her.
