The General's Little Peasant Wife

Chapter 919: Help Me To Apologize

Translator: Vesper

Mu Xue was lost in thoughts for a long time, thinking of what Xiao Qi Tian had said. She pursed her lips and approached Mu Chen and the others.

She supported her pregnant belly with one hand and walked to the door with her maid. She saw Mu Chen talking to Situ Xuan but they stopped talking as soon as they saw her as if they did not want her to hear what they were saying.

As a result, Mu Xue could not help but frown. However, she immediately relaxed and put on a faint smile on her face. Then she walked to Mu Chen’s side next and said with a smile, “What are you guys talking about, Brother and sister-in-law? Can’t you tell me?” Mu Xue looked at Mu Chen with a curious look. That cute look made Mu Chen think of her younger sister before all that had happened.

“Nothing.”

The smile on Mu Xue’s face slightly stiffened, then she looked at Mu Chen with dissatisfaction and asked “Brother, can’t I listen to your and sister-in-law’s little secret?”

Situ Xuan’s eyes flashed with displeasure, then she said while grinning, “Since it is a little secret, only me and your brother can know. If we told you, it won’t be a secret anymore, right Mu Xue?”

Mu Xue muttered something, but Situ Xuan did not hear it clearly, “Brother, am I your sister?”

Mu Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly while looking at Mu Xue. He had some thoughts but still answered, “Yes, what’s wrong?”

“Even though I am your sister, why won’t you tell me anything?” Mu Xue grumbled with dissatisfaction.

Mu Chen raised his brow slightly. “Will you tell me the secret between you and Qi Tian?”

“No.” Mu Xue replied subconsciously. She instantly realized after saying it and her expression suddenly changed.

“Brother, I didn’t mean that.”

“Since you are so reluctant to tell your secrets, why do you keep asking us to tell you ours?” Mu Chen asked Mu Xue while looking at her lightly.

Mu Xue’s expression slightly stiffened, “Brother, I was just talking nonsense.”

“What you said subconsciously is truer than you think. But Xue’er, you are about to give birth now. So stay obediently in your courtyard and don’t overwork yourself by running here and there.” Mu Chen could not help nagging Mu Xue.

Mu Xue was a little unhappy. “I just wanted to chat with my brother and sister-in-law. Why don’t you guys welcome me that much?”

Situ Xuan glanced at Mu Xue and replied, “How could we be unwelcoming towards you? Your brother is simply worried about you.”

“I just knew that my brother would not be willing to treat me that way.” Mu Xue smiled happily.

Throughout the afternoon, Mu Xue did not ask anything about Tong Bao Zhai or Ning Meng Yao. She just asked about what they were up to recently. Nonetheless, she was very unhappy with the resulting situation arising from her question.

“Brother, sister-in-law. Why don’t we have dinner together?” Xiao Qi Tian, who had not appeared the whole evening, walked into the courtyard. He wasn’t surprised to see Mu Xue here.

“Qi Tian, â??â??you are here.” Mu Xue seemed to have forgotten the dispute between the two during the day. She propped up and walked over to Xiao Qi Tian’s side with her big belly and a soft smile on her face.

Xiao Qi Tian was surprised, seeing the change in Mu Xue’s attitude. He could not imagine that this was the same person who had said such unpleasant things during the afternoon.

Xiao Qi Tian nodded, “I went to the library to deal with a few things this afternoon. After I was done with my work, I ordered some people to prepare food.”

Mu Chen and the rest welcomed Xiao Qi Tian’s offer for dinner. They nodded and walked over to the dinner table.

At the dinner table, Xiao Qi Tian whispered something to Mu Chen. Mu Xue tried to interject several times but was kept busy aside by Situ Xuan.

Mu Xue glared at Situ Xuan with dissatisfaction and whispered softly, “What are you doing, sister-in-law?”

“Huh? Nothing, I just wanted to chat with you.” Situ Xuan looked at Mu Xue innocently, with a little smile on her face.

Seeing Situ Xuan’s attitude, Mu Xue did not refute. She just ate her food, which tasted bland now.

But Situ Xuan just laughed at her. Xiao Qi Tian and Mu Chen were talking about Qiao Tian Chang. Mu Xue was just told that he was a mutual friend. Mu Xue wanted to ask more but was stopped.

After the meal, Xiao Qi Tian had a smile on his face but one could clearly see in his eyes the deep regrets he felt, “Brother, after seeing him, please help me apologize to him.”
