The general's wife is pretending to be weak again

Chapter 412

Concubine Jin did not show up, and sent her cousin to entertain the whole party from Duke Dingguo's mansion, Mrs. Mu and others took it easy.

Mu Qingyu just drank tea quietly, listening to Mrs. Mu, Mrs. Fang and Chai Siyun exchanging greetings.

"This is the second lady who is engaged to General Li." Chai Siyun said abruptly.

Mu Qingyu put down the tea bowl, lowered her head and pretended to be embarrassed, she was just a young lady who hadn't left the court, and no one would say she was rude.

"Miss Chai has good eyesight." Fang boasted.

Chai Siyun walked to Mu Qingyu's side, looked at it for a moment, and said, "No wonder even my cousin is talking about Second Miss, saying that she wants to meet Second Miss. I really like it."

After hearing this, Mu Qingyu was about to say a few words of modesty, but Chai Siyun pulled her to stand up from the chair.

Chai Siyun pulled her back to Mrs. Mu, and said, "Madam, I'll take Second Miss to meet my cousin first."

What she said was not a request but an announcement, and she was going to see Princess Jin, and Mrs. Mu had no reason to stop her.

"Go ahead, my granddaughter is naughty, please take care of Miss Chai a little bit more," Mrs. Mu said.

Chai Siyun laughed, "Don't worry, old lady."

After finishing speaking, Chai Siyun dragged Mu Qingyu out.

Mu Qingyu asked: "Is Princess Jin safe?"

She was staring at Chai Siyun, and inadvertently caught the flash of disgust on Chai Siyun's face.

"My cousin's body has always been like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get better." Chai Siyun pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and her tone became sad.

Mu Qingyu looked away calmly.

I have already reached the courtyard of Princess Jin. This house is not big, but it is clean and elegant.

There is a bamboo forest behind the house, and Mu Qingyu can see a set of stone tables and benches placed beside the bamboo forest from a distance, and a half-played Go game is placed on the stone table.

I heard that Princess Jin is in poor health, so who played Go?

Without waiting for the mother-in-law who guarded the door to report, Chai Siyun took Mu Qingyu and walked in directly.

As soon as you enter, you will be greeted with a strong smell of medicine.All the windows in the room were tightly closed, and the smell of the medicine was locked in the room and could not escape.

Chai Siyun explained: "My cousin's illness, the imperial doctor said not to blow it. Second Miss, bear with it."

Mu Qingyu frowned and said, "I'm fine."

Chai Siyun nodded, and she walked into the inner room alone.

Mu Qingyu stopped and did not follow.

In order to prevent Princess Jin from blowing the wind, a screen was placed in front of the bed to completely cover the bed.

Chai Siyun walked around the screen and walked to Princess Jin's bed.

"Cousin, Second Miss is here." Chai Siyun said.

"Which Second Miss?" A hoarse female voice sounded.The voice was weak and hoarse, and he didn't utter a word, which made people worry that he couldn't catch his breath and couldn't say the next word.

Just by listening to the voice, one can tell how sick Princess Jin is.

"The one from Duke Dingguo's mansion, the second young lady you were talking about two days ago." Chai Siyun explained.

"It's her." Princess Jin suddenly realized.

No more words were spoken behind the screen. After a rustling sound, two servant girls stepped forward and moved the screen aside.

Mu Qingyu managed to see the true face of Princess Jin behind the screen.

Her gaze first fell on Princess Jin's hands, those hands were pale, the veins on the hands were particularly conspicuous, and they were drooping weakly at this moment.

"Second Miss." Princess Jin called weakly.

Mu Qingyu raised her eyes and looked at Princess Jin's face.When she saw Princess Jin's face clearly, her pupils shrank slightly, and she pinched the back of her right hand with her left hand, so as not to make any disrespectful actions.

She lowered her eyes and stopped looking at Princess Jin, the shock in her heart could not be subsided for a long time.

She bent her knees, and said: "Little girl, pay my respects to Princess Wangfei."

Princess Jin raised her hand, and Chai Siyun understood, stepped forward and pulled Mu Qingyu up, and said with a smile, "Why is Second Miss restrained again? Don't worry, my cousin doesn't eat people."

Chai Siyun ordered the maid to bring a chair, and she let Mu Qingyu sit on the chair.

After sitting down, Mu Qingyu lowered his head, only staring at his own fingers.

"Cousin, look, she is indeed a young lady raised by an aristocratic family, and the rules are not bad at all." Chai Siyun boasted.

Princess Jin curled her lips weakly and forced a smile.

Having been lingering in bed for many years, it took a lot of energy for her to laugh.

Princess Jin waved her weak hand towards the dressing table, and Chai Siyun went to take a red agate bracelet on the dressing table, and put it directly in Mu Qingyu's hand.

"It's a wish from my cousin."

Mu Qingyu took the bracelet over flatteredly, and then looked at Princess Jin.

Seeing this familiar face, she accepted the bracelet and said gratefully, "Thank you, Madam Wangfei."

"As long as you like it." Chai Siyun replied instead of Princess Jin.

Mu Qingyu sat here for a while, and Chai Siyun said what Princess Jin wanted to say.

After about a stick of incense, the servant girl brought the medicine bowl, and it was time for Princess Jin to drink the medicine again, so Mu Qingyu left.

Princess Jin needs to rest, so Mo Zhu can't go into the house, and can only wait for Mu Qingyu to come out at the door.

Seeing Mu Qingyu coming out, Mo Zhu hurried up to meet her, and said softly, "Miss, have you seen Wangfei?"

"Ah."

Hearing that Mu Qingyu's tone was not quite right, Mo Zhu looked at Mu Qingyu's cheek.Seeing the doubt and incomprehension on her face, Mo Zhu asked: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." Mu Qingyu said perfunctorily, still thinking about Princess Jin's face in her heart.

Princess Jin's cheeks were so thin that she was almost out of shape, which made her facial features stand out.Her eyebrows and eyes are exquisite and majestic, very similar to the other person's.

Mu Qingyu began to wonder if Princess Jin and the Empress Dowager were related?Otherwise, why do these two look so alike?
The first time she saw Princess Jin, she thought it was the empress dowager lying there.

After pondering for a while, but did not come up with anything, Mu Qingyu suppressed his doubts for a while.

The servants of the palace led the two back to the original place.

Mu Qingqiu asked curiously: "Second Sister, have you seen Princess Jin?"

Mu Qingyu nodded.

Guo Nian'er leaned over again, "Second sister, is the princess tall or short? Fat or thin?"

Mrs. Mu said angrily, "I'll talk about these things when I go home."

Mu Qingqiu and Guo Nian'er shut their mouths awkwardly.

Mrs. Mu noticed the bracelet on Mu Qingyu's wrist, and said with a smile, "Princess is easy to get along with."

"That's not true," Fang said quickly, "The princess was born as a commoner, so she wouldn't show embarrassment to Yu'er."

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Mu immediately glanced over and warned: "Don't say these words in front of others, and this is still the Prince Jin's Mansion."

Fang covered her mouth, knowing that she had made a slip of the tongue, she stopped talking.

Mu Qingyu was careful and kept Fang's words in his heart.
