Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

”Alright then,” Mu Hanyan smiled contentedly. Playboy, playboy, didn’t everyone say she was a playboy, a good-for-nothing? If she didn’t do something, she really wouldn’t live up to those titles, would she? A playboy should, of course, be accompanied by henchmen. Now she had two ”henchmen”, and these two ”henchmen” were a formidable duo: one exceptionally strong, the other extremely clever. Heishi City would surely be lively in the future.

The maid quickly fetched the wound medicine that Mu Hanyan had ordered. Mu Hanyan signaled for the maid to apply the medicine to Huayue, but Huayue declined, instead skillfully applying the medicine herself. After a moment’s thought, Mu Hanyan said, ”You two go back now. Come to me early tomorrow morning to go out with me on an errand.”

”Yes!” Huayue and Zirong, upon receiving the medicinal materials, both had their eyes light up. They replied in unison, then bowed and took their leave. Having obtained what they most desired, they naturally wanted to hurry back and apply these supplies to their loved ones. Mu Hanyan’s words were exactly what they wanted to hear, so after giving her a serious thank you, they couldn’t wait to return home with the medicine. The medicine Mu Hanyan had given them was exactly what their family members needed! While others might not know, the reborn Mu Hanyan was crystal clear about it. Huayue’s grandmother urgently needed a five-hundred-year portion of Ice Heart Grass, and Zirong’s fiancée needed Green Bamboo Vine as a medicinal primer. Needless to say, Mu Hanyan’s actions today had thoroughly ingratiated her in their hearts.

After the two had left, the maid spoke in a low voice, ”Young master, you don’t know what kind of people these two are, why treat them so well? These medicinal materials are very precious; in the City Lord’s Mansion’s storeroom, there’s only this much left of Ice Heart Grass and Green Bamboo Vine. If you, young master, want to use them again, you’ll have to figure out another way.” The maid spoke with a hint of annoyance.

Mu Hanyan turned her head to look at the maid behind her, her heart complicated. She whispered, ”Xixi, in a few days, I’ll have mother decide for you, and send you off in an honorable marriage, how does that sound?”

”Young master!” The maid named Xixi was taken aback, her eyes welling up with tears, ”Young master, has Xixi done something wrong? Xixi shouldn’t have doubted the young master’s decision.”

Apparently, the maid thought that Mu Hanyan was upset with her for the words she had said earlier.

”No, you’re very good, you’re really very good,” Mu Hanyan sighed softly to herself, nearly letting tears fall. Xixi had grown up with her from a young age and had always been sincerely loyal. Xixi had a cousin who had admired her and had planned to ask for her hand in marriage once Xixi turned eighteen. But the day before her eighteenth birthday, because she refused to disclose Mu Hanyan’s whereabouts to assassins pursuing Mu Hanyan, she was ultimately beaten to death, her bones shattered.

”Then why does the young master want to send me away?” Xixi’s tears swirled in her eyes. Everyone said the young master was a playboy, a good-for-nothing, but she knew the young master had the kindest heart of all. The young master had never done anything despicable and always considered others, so why did people constantly slander the young master’s reputation? She truly didn’t understand. And the Lord City Master was unresponsive to this, how could a father be so unfeeling?

”Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? A few days ago, someone secretly sent you a box of rouge, don’t think I didn’t see it. This isn’t me wanting to send you away, this is called playing matchmaker, so you don’t have to long for your cousin from afar. It’s making my teeth hurt just watching,” Mu Hanyan teased with a playful smile.
