The general's wife is pretending to be weak again

Chapter 206

"So early?" Mu Qingyu was surprised, "Grandmother left before dawn?"

"Yes, the maidservant went to open the door in the morning, and heard what the maidservant passing by said." Mo Zhu replied.

Mu Qingyu was puzzled, what happened to allow Mrs. Mu to enter the palace early in the morning?

People outside the house heard the commotion inside, and they were all preparing their washing utensils, ready to come in at any time.

Mu Qingyu heard the commotion outside, and asked in a low voice, "What did you find out last night?"

Mo Zhu leaned over and said, "My maidservant found out that Madam Zhou has a daughter who lives in the Missy's yard. She used to work in the tea room. It is said that she entered the Missy's house as a servant a month ago. I hired a second-class servant girl to do some needlework. The eldest lady often lives in Zhang's house, and she doesn't need people from our house to carry her clothes and purses. That job is very leisurely."

"Mother Zhou still has a daughter?" Mu Qingyu frowned. She had never heard Mother Zhou mention her family, so she thought that Mother Zhou was never married.

"Mother Zhou didn't tell anyone about her daughter, and her daughter kept it a secret. I'm afraid there are not many people in the house who know the relationship between the two of them. It was her daughter who accidentally said something that was leaked by us. Ah Fu, the maid who sprinkled water in the yard, heard it."

With such a relationship, Mu Qingyu already knew who Mama Zhou really belonged to.

If she hadn't brought Zhou Ma to her side, Zhou Ma didn't know how long she would hide.

"I see, let them come in." Mu Qingyu lowered his eyes.

"Yes." Mo Zhu walked to the door, opened it, and let the maid outside come in.

After the maid came in holding the toiletry utensils, Mother Zhou also followed.

"I got up late, miss, please forgive me." Zhou's mother smiled all over her face.

"It's not too late, I just woke up." Mu Qingyu smiled slightly.

Zhou Ma stepped forward and prepared clothes for Mu Qingyu.

"Huh? Why did it fall on the floor?" Mama Zhou picked up a piece of clothing from behind the screen.

Mo Zhu walked over and said strangely: "I hung it on the screen with my own hands last night, how could it fall?"

Zhou Ma handed the clothes to Mo Zhu: "You ask someone to wash it, and I will find another set of clothes for Miss."

"it is good."

Mu Qingyu was sitting in front of the dressing table, letting Miao Xiang comb her hair.

Zhou's mother found a [-]% new long-sleeved gown from the cabinet, which was very comfortable to wear in the room.

After Mu Qingyu had breakfast, he sat on the couch by the window, put the embroidery basket by his side, and picked up the needle and thread inside.

What she wants to embroider is a purse with a mandarin duck playing in the water. Mu Qingyu needs to embroider a set for Li Zhao's needlework, clothes, shoes, purse and other personal items.

In the afternoon, after lunch, Mu Qingyu heard that Mrs. Mu had returned from the palace.

After thinking for a while, she threw the needles and threads in her hand into the embroidery basket.

"Miss," Zhou's mother hurriedly stopped, but it was too late, "Be careful that the threads are all entangled."

Zhou's mother looked into the embroidery basket and found that the silk threads were in a mess. If they got tangled and knotted, it would be bad.

Mu Qingyu said nonchalantly: "Then please ask mom to help me take care of it. I'll take Mo Zhu out for a walk. After doing needlework for a long time, my eyes are tired."

"Leave it to the old slave, miss, go out for a walk, it's good to get some air."

Mu Qingyu pursed her lips and smiled, and took Mo Zhu outside.

The two stood in the yard for a while, then Mu Qingyu walked out of the yard.

Mo Zhu followed behind, she looked at the road, she was going to Mrs. Mu's place.

"Miss, are we going to the old lady's place?" Mo Zhu asked.

Mu Qingyu hummed.

Mo Zhu hesitated: "But the old lady just came out of the palace, wouldn't it be a good idea to go there now? Miss, why don't we go there at night?"

"It's okay." Mu Qingyu said, walking non-stop.

Mo Zhu stopped talking and followed Mu Qingyu to Mrs. Mu's place.

Entering the yard, I saw Mother Wang was teaching a little maid a lesson on the porch.

The little maid lowered her head and folded her hands in front of her, feeling very wronged.

Seeing Mu Qingyu's master and servant coming over, Ms. Wang stopped her lecture.

Mama Wang took two steps towards Mu Qingyu, saluted and said, "Why is Second Miss free to come here?"

Mu Qingyu walked up to Mama Wang and stood still, and said with a smile, "I'm here to pay my respects to grandma, but grandma is inside?"

Ms. Wang suppressed her smile, her face was clouded, and she glanced into the room apprehensively.

"The old slave advises the second lady not to go in now." Mother Wang reminded in a low voice.

Mama Wang is kind to her, and Mu Qingyu will not disbelieve Mama Wang's words.

Mu Qingyu put away her smile, bit her lips and thought for a moment, not wanting to embarrass Mama Wang, so let's go back first.

Before she could turn around, she heard footsteps, and Guo Nian'er had already walked to her side.

"Why is my cousin standing outside?" Guo Nian'er took Mu Qingyu's arm affectionately, "Let's go, let's go in together."

Mrs. Mu dotes on Guo Nian'er, and Guo Nian'er can enter and leave Mrs. Mu's yard at will without notification.

It's just that Mrs. Mu came back from the palace, she seemed to be in a bad mood.

She, who has always been kind, unexpectedly got angry with a little servant girl because of a trivial matter.

No, Mother Wang was ordered to bring the little maid out to give a lecture.

Seeing that Guo Nian'er wanted to go in again, Ms. Wang just wanted to stop her, but Guo Nian'er had already pulled Mu Qingyu and rushed in.

Mama Wang sighed and followed behind.

"Grandmother, I brought my cousin here." Guo Nian'er shouted sweetly.

As soon as Mu Qingyu entered, he first looked for Mrs. Mu in the room.

I saw Mrs. Mu sitting on the couch, her face was full of sorrow, and her eyes were filled with sadness that was about to overflow.

Her expression was exactly the same as Madam Zhang's.

Mu Qingyu looked away, she probably had a point in her mind.

The only person who can make Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Zhang show such expressions at the same time is Mu Qingling.

In addition, Mu Qingling did not show up yesterday, could something have happened to her?
While thinking about it, she and Guo Nian'er had already saluted Mrs. Mu.

Guo Nian'er sat next to Mrs. Mu as usual, and Mu Qingyu found a seat and sat down.

"Yu'er, what's the matter with you?" Mrs. Mu had adjusted her mood long ago, and asked blankly, but her reddish eyes could not deceive anyone.

Mu Qingyu stood up, drooping her head and blaming herself: "I'm here to apologize to grandma, because I will cause a lot of trouble to the family."

"What happened again?" Madam Mu asked impatiently.

Guo Nian'er couldn't help but look at Mrs. Mu more, secretly surprised.

Mrs. Mu has always been kind and kind, and rarely gets angry.Sitting next to Mrs. Mu, Guo Nian'er could feel her irritability.

Mu Qingyu frowned, and said in a low voice: "As for the young lady who lives in General Li's residence, at this moment, there may be a lot of rumors about it."

Mu Qingyu raised her face, feeling helpless and wronged: "Don't worry, grandma, I will find a way to solve the rumors outside, and I will definitely not let my family be implicated by me."

Mrs. Mu sighed for a long time, pulled Mu Qingyu to sit down, and sighed, "What can you do?"
