Chapter 293 Delivering Messages

The eldest lady rolled her eyes at Tao Yanyan, feeling embarrassed.

Madam Mu, on the other hand, came forward with a smile on her face and directly grabbed Tao Yanyan: "Oh my, it seems you are from the Mu family. You look so much like my late mother-in-law!"

After saying that, he looked at Tao Yanyan carefully again and said, "Well, she really looks like a fairy on earth. If someone marries her, they will be very lucky and blessed!"

He Linzhan was standing among a group of maids. When he heard this, his brows relaxed.

Tao Yanyan didn't dare look in the direction of He Linzhang, lest she expose him. But she was also very embarrassed to be praised like this in front of He Linzhang, so she changed the subject and asked, "What's your name, Madam?"

Madam Mu then remembered that she had not yet introduced herself, so she said enthusiastically: "I am your father's sister-in-law, and now the head of the Mu family. You can call me aunt. I heard from my uncle that your nickname is Jiaojiao, so I will call you Jiaojiao."

Tao Yanyan did not comment. It was just a name, it didn't matter what she was called, so he just let her be.

"Jiaojiao, are you accustomed to living in Penglai Palace? If not, you can come with me back to the Mu Mansion and live there for a few days." Mrs. Mu invited him warmly, and Tao Yanyan could not resist her familiarity and enthusiasm.

The eldest lady snorted coldly: "She can't leave Penglai Palace. She can't go anywhere without the order of the Demon Lord."

Tao Yanyan is the Demon Lord's life-saving medicine, so he cannot leave Penglai Palace at will.

Seeing that Madam Mu looked unhappy, Tao Yanyan smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Madam. When I can come and go freely in Penglai Island in the future, I will visit you at the Mu Mansion again."

Tao Yanyan's words were pleasant to the ears and her attitude was generous and appropriate. Madam Mu did not force her, and the eldest lady's face was really gloomy, so she did not continue the topic. However, she held Tao Yanyan's hand tightly and led her to her seat.

This position was just opposite to the group of people led by Mrs. Qian. Tao Yanyan could easily see He Linzhang dressed as a woman without having to look deliberately.

Tao Yanyan had to work extremely hard to suppress the urge to burst out laughing.

She didn't expect that the Emperor of the Great Zhou would come up with this idea in order to sneak in!

Her heart softened and she suddenly wanted to hug him.

He Linzhang felt like he was being roasted on a fire, and not a single part of his body felt comfortable.

Someone in the crowd exclaimed, and everyone looked towards the door, and found that the Demon Lord was coming towards them wearing a mask.

He Linzhang and Ying Yi lowered their heads silently, trying their best to hide their figures.

When the young ladies from various families saw the Demon Lord, they all stood up and saluted. Tao Yanyan just sat there without moving and even rolled her eyes at him.

The Demon Lord glanced at Tao Yanyan out of the corner of his eye, curled his lips and said nothing.

Because of the Demon Lord's arrival, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became lively. All the ladies were recommending their own daughters intentionally or unintentionally, praising them to the highest levels.

Tao Yanyan sat next to Madam Mu and listened to Madam Mu talking about the Mu family.

"The Mu family is prosperous, but the males are more numerous than the females. My mother-in-law's generation gave birth to several sons, and in my generation, both the main branch and the side branches gave birth to sons. You can be considered the only girl among the many younger generations."

After saying that, he took Tao Yanyan's hand and smiled dotingly: "Your father returned to the Mu family a few days ago and specially looked for your uncle." After the voice fell, he looked around and whispered: "Let us, the Mu family, use all our strength to ensure your safety no matter what."

Madam Mu said solemnly: "Although your father did not tell you that you were in any danger, you can rest assured that your father married into the Yin family to ensure the Mu family's peace and prosperity. The Mu family will also return the favor and do their best to protect you and your daughter."

Hearing this, Tao Yanyan asked tentatively: "What if my half-brother wants to kill me? Will the Mu family stand on my side?"

Mrs. Mu was shocked. She finally understood why her uncle made a special trip to the Mu family. Could it be that the two children had a grudge against each other because of the grievances of the previous generation?

She said carefully: "Although our Mu family swore in front of the leader to be loyal to the Demon Lord for life, if he is unkind first, then we can only be unjust. You are the blood of my Mu family. Even if it costs our lives, we will protect you."

Although Tao Yanyan did not trust verbal promises too much, it was better to have a promise than no promise. At least she knew that if she needed help someday, the Mu family would be her strongest support.

The two chatted for a while, and Tao Yanyan was thinking about saying a few words to He Linzhang, mainly to tell him about Qi Yizheng.

Seeing that he was mixed in with the Qian family's team and couldn't get close to him, Tao Yanyan was extremely anxious.

Madam Mu saw her looking towards the Qian family from time to time, and thought it was the first time she saw such a strange female relative, so she smiled and said: "That's the Qian family. The people in her family all look very strange. Don't be afraid. The young lady of the Qian family is not as annoying as her mother. If you want to make friends, you can talk to her. She is honest. As for the Dong family and the Qi family, forget about them. They are arrogant and I'm afraid they are just trying to win you over and are being false and insincere."

Tao Yanyan really wanted to get closer to Miss Qian, only in this way could she get closer to He Linzhang.

She smiled and said, "Then I'm going to go talk to Miss Qian. Auntie, please sit for a while."

Mrs. Mu nodded with a smile on her face, thinking that this little girl was so nice that she even had to ask for permission in advance before doing anything. She was so soft and considerate.

Tao Yanyan stood up and walked straight to the Qian family, bowed and said: "The necklace this sister is wearing looks very delicate. I wonder if I can learn how to make a necklace from her."

Miss Qian looked at the angel-like sister of the Demon Lord walking towards her, her breathing rising and falling with excitement. Before Tao Yanyan could finish his question, she quickly said, "Yes, yes, of course." After that, she made room for Tao Yanyan to sit next to her.

Miss Qian is of big and strong build, only slightly thinner than Dali. Tao Yanyan looks very petite next to her.

Miss Qian didn't have many friends and she was a very honest and heartless person. However, Tao Yanyan was sincere to her and would approach He Linzhang from time to time while chatting with her.

A smile flashed in He Linzhang's eyes, and he personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to Tao Yanyan.

She took the tea with both hands, and her fingertips accidentally touched He Linzhang's fingers. He Linzhang felt his fingertips were hot, and he glanced at her quickly, then slowly looked away.

"Thank you. I'm thirsty." After saying that, Tao Yanyan picked up the teacup and took a sip. Then he handed it to He Linzhang and said leisurely, "A few months ago, a friend of mine who loved gourmet food left Beijing. It seemed that his favorite drink was this jasmine tea. Drinking it here again reminded me of that friend. A few days ago, I saw a figure that looked a bit like him. I thought he came here too."

He Linzhang frowned and met Tao Yanyan's eyes, who blinked at him.
