Chapter 2098: The Past Life 23
Inside the tavern were voices of discussion filling the hall.
“I heard that n.o.ble Lady is going to get married to the imperial preceptor.”
“The person who was supposed to marry the imperial preceptor was Little Nine of the Mu family. Unfortunately, Little Nine disappeared twenty years ago. She and the imperial preceptor had been engaged since childhood. Not long after her disappearance, the old lady of the Mu family forced Mu Yi to marry the princess, and later, she gave birth to Mu Qingya.
“It is rumored that Mu Yi was put under countless pressure after marrying that wild woman. With the Mu family power, how could Mu Yi marry that kind of woman? Later, after the woman and Little Nine’s disappearance, Mu Yi listened to the old lady and married the princess.
“Fortunately, he married the princess. Now, the Mu family has such achievements. n.o.ble Lady Qingya is a talented girl since childhood and can not be compared to even Little Nine.
The Mu family was big, one of the top families in this kingdom even before getting into the imperial family. Little Nine was born when there were already eight children, so according to the family’s custom, she became Little Nine of the Mu family.
After Mu Yi became the emperor’s son-in-law and the princess’s sidekick, he moved out of Mu Manor. Mu Qingya was a n.o.ble Lady, so she did not have to follow the family’s custom.
Tian Xuan was enjoying the food in front of her but paused when she heard these words. She seemed somewhat bewildered.
‘Little Nine of the Mu family…’
This name seemed somewhat familiar, and she seemed to have heard it somewhere.
However, she could not remember it…

The servant looked at Tian Xuan with a sarcastic smile. “n.o.ble Lady, look. I didn’t expect such vulgar countryside people in this imperial city. It’s as if they hadn’t eaten their whole lives.”
Bang!
Dongfang Yu smashed her chopsticks on the table.
She was just about to fight back when Tian Xuan, sitting next to her, gave her hand a pump and shook her head. “We can’t bully the weak, and it will bring shame to the Ninth Emperor.”
With these words, she deliberately lowered her voice to ensure that no one next to her could hear.
Otherwise, if people knew that they were the Ninth Emperor’s people but still ate so greedily, it would definitely embarra.s.s the Ninth Emperor.
However, she really could not control herself.
This outside meal was extremely delicious. It had been countless years since she really enjoyed such a delicious meal that it made her want to cry…
Mu Qingya stopped and turned to look at the two girls. She frowned and turned away.
“Ah Li, you have to remember that there are still many poorer people in this world than the servants and slaves of our manor. There is no need to judge them, whether they are vulgar or rude. It has nothing to do with us. It is enough for us to know our manners.”
There was a silence in the tavern.
Everyone looked at Mu Qingya longingly and yearningly.
Dongfang Yu almost choked to death.
‘No need to judge?
‘She has already said what she should say, vulgar and rude, and yet she says there is no need to judge?
‘Such a b*tch!’
Dongfang Yu sneered. “Tian Xuan, we are so unlucky today to meet such silly people while we are enjoying delicious food.”
“How dare you!” The servant was furious and turned to Dongfang Yu. “You were the one who was rude to my n.o.ble lady. You blocked her way when you saw that she wanted to enter the tavern. If not for the kindness of my n.o.ble lady, these guards would have already beaten you a thousand times.”
