I always feel this way

"Please leave me alone. I'm currently in a bad mood and don't want to be bothered."

Mu Yunxuan kept his eyes closed, afraid that his emotions would be revealed through his eyes.

"Brother, if there's something on your mind, please share it. By talking about it, we can find a solution and ease the burden in your heart."

Mu Yunhan knew that his older brother had no friends to confide in and felt a deep sense of loneliness. He had thought that getting married would make his older brother happy, but it seemed that his older brother didn't have any feelings for Ling Qiushui.

After a long silence, Mu Yunxuan spoke slowly.

"Yunhan, I have always had a feeling that Su Zimo is not dead."

Mu Yunhan quickly stepped forward, startled. "Big brother, that's impossible. How could she survive a fall from the top of the cliff?"

"Yunhan, believe it or not, I just have this feeling that she is alive."

Mu Yunxuan's tone was resolute. He got up from the soft bed and looked up at the blue sky. His heart felt empty, as if he had lost something very important. He couldn't quite grasp what it was, but the feeling was undeniably real.

Mu Yunhan shook his head, thinking that his older brother was burdened with guilt in his heart.

"Big brother, today I plan to visit Mingyue Villa. It has gained quite a reputation in the past two years, and after yesterday's encounter, I think it's better to pay a visit."

"I'll accompany you in a few days. Right now, I have something for you to do."

Mu Yunxuan turned to look at Mu Yunhan. "Didn't He Yunting call her 'Momo'? He Yunting must know her full name. Find He Yunting and use whatever means necessary to learn her full name and identity."

Mu Yunhan looked at his older brother in astonishment. He was already busy enough, and now his older brother was asking him to do this task. Although He Yunting seemed playful, he was clever and elusive, making it difficult to extract information from him.

"Big brother, this seems quite difficult. He Yunting is fiercely loyal to Mingyue Villa and won't betray any information about it. I met him at the border half a year ago, and I couldn't obtain any useful information."

"Then find a way. I need to know her full name."

Mu Yunxuan was unwavering in his determination. The woman had left a deep impression on him.

"Big brother, what happened between you and Su Zimo in the tomb that made you think of her all the time?"

Mu Yunhan finally asked the question that had been on his mind for the past six years. If the owner of Mingyue Villa was Su Zimo, then who were those three children?

At that moment, Ling Qiushui, who was delivering snacks for Mu Yunxuan, overheard Mu Yunhan's question.

She froze in place, holding her breath, her heart pounding. Mu Yunxuan had someone he loved in his heart. No wonder he never paid any attention to her.

Even in his deep cultivation, Mu Yunxuan sensed the change in the atmosphere.

"That brother is suspicious?"

"Yunhan..."

Mu Yunxuan quickly interrupted Mu Yunhan's words before he could say more.

"Ah! Sister Qiushui, why are you here? Mu Yunyue's sudden appearance startled Ling Qiushui, and she almost dropped the tray of snacks in her hand. She didn't expect Mu Yunyue to suddenly appear.

Mu Yunhan and Mu Yunxuan exchanged glances, both of them furrowing their brows simultaneously.

"Why are you here?"

As soon as the two entered, they heard Mu Yunxuan's cold and stern voice.

The two instantly halted, and Mu Yunyue shrank back, a hint of fear on his face.

Ling Qiushui composed herself and tried to maintain a gentle smile as she spoke softly, "Lord Yunxuan, Lady was worried that you haven't been eating or drinking properly, so she asked me to bring some snacks that you like. I apologize if my presence has caused any inconvenience."

These tasks should be handled by the maids, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the Cloud Hall without the throne's permission. Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind."

Mu Yunxuan's blunt and cold tone showed no mercy.

"Xuan'er, what are you doing? Shui'er will be your future daughter-in-law. She cares about you and wants to take care of you. She's worried about being scolded by you. Your mother is concerned that you'll act like this, so she had Shui'er mention her name. But knowing your personality, your mother is still worried. That's why she followed to make sure everything is alright. It's like my mother's intuition. Jun Zixi, dressed in a dark red peony-patterned dress, looked gorgeous and beautiful. In the past six years, she hadn't changed much and still retained her beauty.

"Mother." Mu Yunxuan's displeasure was instantly evident, and his expression turned stern.

"Madam, it's all Shui'er's fault. I shouldn't have intruded without permission and caused the Lord's anger."

Ling Qiushui lowered her eyes, her face filled with guilt, and tears welled up in her eyes, making her look pitiful.

"Shui'er, it's not your fault. I am the one who should take responsibility for you." Jun Zixi looked at Mu Yunxuan. "Xuan'er, take a look. The kind-hearted Shui'er is scared and crying because of you. Don't treat her coldly in the future. Shui'er is your future daughter-in-law."

Jun Zixi scolded, Ling Qiushui was her favorite daughter-in-law, and she wouldn't allow her to be mistreated.

"Mother, there's no need for you to worry about my affairs..."

Mu Yunxuan's tone was firm. He wanted to make his own decisions regarding marriage and marry the woman he loved.

"Xuan'er, you..."

"Big brother." Mu Yunhan looked at Mu Yunxuan, shocked by his confrontation with their mother.

Jun Zixi looked at her son with anger, not expecting her usually filial son to contradict her. For a moment, she was taken aback.

"Madam, Lord, it's all Shui'er's fault. Shui'er will do better in the future and always strive to satisfy the Lord. Madam and the Lord shouldn't argue because of Shui'er."

Ling Qiushui anxiously choked out her words. With Jun Zixi's support, she felt more confident. She was determined to marry into Cloud City and become the Lady admired by all.

Observing Ling Qiushui's behavior, Mu Yunxuan furrowed his brow in displeasure.

"Hmm! You can all leave now!" Mu Rong Xingchen and Mu Yunfan walked in, instantly sensing the strange atmosphere in the room.
