Harem Daily Life

Chapter 299: Stars and Moon

The Great Elder was still a little timid when he heard the cold voice of the Demon Lord, so he stepped forward and explained respectfully: "The Old Madam and the First Madam are both looking for the Demon Lord. The Penglai Palace is in chaos. I only knew the whereabouts of the Demon Lord after hearing the report from the guards on the tower, so I came here to look for him."

The Demon Lord snorted coldly: "Looking for me? What's the matter?"

The Great Elder looked at Tao Yanyan who was standing in the corridor not far away and said, "We thought the young lady was missing. The old lady and the first lady were very worried, but we didn't expect that the Demon Lord brought her out. I wonder why the Demon Lord brought the young lady to this clinic?"

The Great Elder was very surprised, with a look of inquiry in his eyes.

The Demon Lord said calmly: "The Taoist priest gave me a bottle of medicine, and the young lady wanted to verify the authenticity of the medicine, so she came here."

This excuse seemed reasonable, so the Great Elder did not ask any more questions and only asked the Demon Lord to return to Penglai Palace as soon as possible.

The Demon Lord's confidant had also arrived at the clinic by this time. He called the person aside and gave him some instructions, then said to Tao Yanyan: "I have to go back. Some things need to be dealt with. Do you want to go back with me, or stay at the Mu family for a while?"

Tao Yanyan frowned. She was unsure whether the Mu family was trustworthy or not.

As if seeing her doubts, the Demon Lord said: "Don't worry, the Mu family will protect you."

Tao Yanyan nodded: "Okay, I'll go to the Mu family, then..." She glanced inside the house.

"I will arrange it. Don't worry about the rest. I will pick you up from the Mu family after I have dealt with everything." After the Demon Lord said this, he patted her arm, turned around and left.

"Hey!" Tao Yanyan shouted behind him: "You...you should be careful." After saying that, he seemed to think that the elder would be suspicious, and added: "You have a heart disease, be careful."

The Demon Lord did not look back, but the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, and he left quickly with the great elder and others.

The guardian sent someone to send Tao Yanyan to the Mu family. Tao Yanyan took one last look at the thin woman and knew that the Demon Lord had sent many people to guard her, so she left with peace of mind.

Mrs. Mu didn't expect Tao Yanyan to come so soon, and was even brought personally by the Demon Lord's men. She was overjoyed.

"Oh my, Jiaojiao, it's great that you can come and live here! There just happens to be a unique little courtyard that has been vacant. Auntie will take you there now."

Mrs. Mu was very enthusiastic and took Tao Yanyan to the courtyard hand in hand.

The Mu family hosted a dinner to entertain Tao Yanyan. When several side branches heard the news, they also came to visit. Tao Yanyan was the only girl in their young generation, so she was naturally the center of attention and was spoiled extremely. The gifts given to her were so many that her small courtyard could not hold them all. Mrs. Mu had to open another room for her to use as a warehouse.

The evening banquet was very sumptuous, and almost all the men, women, and children of the entire Mu family were there.

Tao Yanyan's uncle, Elder Mu, solemnly introduced Tao Yanyan in front of everyone, and tears streamed down his face as he spoke: "Our Mu family followed the leader to found the Demon Cult, and we are one of the largest families on Penglai Island. But the prosperity and stability of our Mu family were gained by my brother marrying into the Yin family. He only has one son and one daughter. Today, we finally welcome the little princess of the Mu family back. I am so happy and excited. Jiaojiao, you have been wandering outside for seventeen years. I am sorry for your wrong!"

Tao Yanyan didn't feel anything, but when she thought about the fact that the original owner had passed away and she would no longer receive the care and love of these relatives, she felt a little sad inside and tears inexplicably flashed in her eyes.

Seeing the beauty crying, I felt pity for her. Madam Mu liked her to begin with, and now she felt even more distressed. She immediately hugged her in her arms: "Oh, don't cry, don't cry. I'm glad you're back, I'm glad you're back!"

After saying that, she glared at her husband fiercely: "Don't be sentimental. Today is a happy day to welcome Jiaojiao home. Don't create such a depressing atmosphere!"

Elder Mu raised his glass: "Okay, we are happy today, no one is allowed to cry. Come, raise your glass with me and drink, welcome Jiaojiao home!"

Everyone shouted in unison, "Welcome Jiaojiao home!" The atmosphere was full of vigor and peace.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed: "Is that... a signal fire?"

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, they saw blue smoke rising from there.

"It's the direction of Penglai Palace! But why are there signal smoke signals?" Everyone was puzzled.

Tao Yanyan didn't know what the wolf smoke was used for, so he hurriedly asked Madam Mu beside him.

Madam Mu explained: "If there is any danger in Penglai Palace, they will light a signal fire to inform the four major families and request support."

Tao Yanyan was shocked, thinking that the Demon Lord said he had to go back to do things, could it be that he had already revealed his cards and started a fight with the Yin family?

A member of the Demon Cult came hurriedly to report the news, confirming Tao Yanyan's thoughts - there was a change in Penglai Palace, the Demon Lord controlled the old lady and the eldest lady, and the old lady lit a signal smoke.

Elder Mu felt that the matter was serious, and hurriedly said: "This matter is of great importance. Today's welcome banquet is suspended. The Mu family is ready to deal with it. Let me go to Penglai Palace to find out the news first."

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant came in from outside the door and said in a panic: "Master, there is a group of people outside the door, saying that they are Miss Mu's husband's family, and they came to see Miss Mu specially!"

Before everyone could react, Tao Yanyan said happily: "He's really here? Take me to see him!"

Tao Yanyan didn't expect He Linzhang to come so soon, and come directly without any disguise.

Elder Mu and his wife accompanied Tao Yanyan to go out to greet them. As soon as Tao Yanyan saw He Linzhang, he ran into his arms.

Elder Mu frowned and coughed lightly, saying, "Ahem, well, Jiaojiao, let's welcome the person in first. It's not nice to see so many people coming and going here."

Madam Mu slapped him and said, "What's wrong with young girls being affectionate? They are so pretty! Tell your two sons and nephews to take a good look at them, be envious, and get married soon."

A bunch of younger generations of the Mu family who can't find wives really make it difficult for her, the mistress of the family!

Tao Yanyan was just impulsive and excited for a moment. When she came to her senses, she remembered that there were so many people watching. She felt embarrassed, so she blushed and took He Linzhang's hand to the Mu couple and introduced them: "This is my husband..."

When I thought about the fact that we haven't yet agreed on the identity, I was a little speechless.

He Linzhang said directly: "I came here unexpectedly today, let's go in and talk!"

His self-proclaimed name made the Mu family couple stunned on the spot. Tao Yanyan was also shocked and winked at him: Are you going to introduce yourself so soon? Will it be dangerous?

He Linzhang curled his lips: "The Mu family is trustworthy, my beloved concubine, don't worry."

The Mu couple knelt down this time, and cursed Mu Yu a thousand times in their hearts - the last time you came to our house you said so much, with tears and snot, asking our Mu family to protect your precious daughter, but why didn't you make it clear that your precious daughter is the imperial concubine!
