Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 23 Two birds with one stone

"Brother!" Xiao Shuhua was in a hurry. She stepped forward in a hurry and wanted to argue again, but Mu Wenjing suddenly slapped the table next to her: "Enough brothers and sisters! I know that you are a mother who loves your daughter, but my body As a father, don't you worry about your children at all?"

"The consequences and antecedents of this incident, the person who wanted to go to the Xiao Mansion to invite the younger siblings back has already reported to you neatly; everyone present is well aware of what is right and wrong—brothers and sisters, you don't need to say anything more Arguing!" Mu Wenjing snorted coldly.

He is a veteran who has fought in the battlefield for many years, how can he not see through the tricks of the women in this inner house?
It's just that there are some things that he is too lazy to care about, and there are some things that are inconvenient to say too clearly.

Just like the sentence "restraining father and mother" that she slandered Ah Ci seven years ago... How could he not know that it was just a stupid and extremely ridiculous statement without any basis?

But the concubine's departure was too sudden, and the pain of losing his wife in his heart completely overwhelmed the joy of his daughter. He really didn't know what kind of attitude he should take to face this newly born, ignorant and innocent girl. Young boy; secondly, he is busy with affairs and is not at the mansion on weekdays. His eldest daughter is weak and cannot move, and he is also worried that Mu Xici will be secretly treated harshly by his younger siblings if he stays at the mansion.

He knew Xiao Shuhua's character very well, but his mother Fu Minjun was really old and frail, so she couldn't handle it well, so she had to make such a bad plan.

Thinking about it, Mu Wenjing raised his hand and pressed the aching brows, and immediately took him back to the house to deal with such a bad thing, he was really exhausted physically and mentally.

He slightly raised his chin and pointed to the two girls kneeling on the ground, even his voice was tired: "If there is nothing else, you two can go down and receive the punishment."

"Wait." Xiao Shuhua bravely opened her mouth, and Mu Wenjing twitched her eyebrows when she heard this: "Sister and sister, what else do you want to say?"

"Brother, Yunshi and Yunshu are close maidservants who grew up with Yan'er. If Yunshi is expelled from the house, Yan'er may not get used to it—"

"Look, the stick duty is forty, and the moon silver is halved, so don't let her go out of the house?" Xiao Shuhua gritted her teeth and squeezed out the words. Now it's impossible to get rid of punishment, but Yun Yun Shino is an effective think tank that she has cultivated for Mu Shiyan with all her painstaking efforts. She must not be dismissed so easily.

"So, that's fine." Mu Wenjing glanced at Xiao Shuhua meaningfully, then waved his hands and let the servants lead the people down to receive the punishment. Seeing this, Xiao Shuhua felt the anger in her heart almost gushing down her throat, and turned to Mu indiscriminately. Wen Jing and Mo Junli pleaded guilty, turned around and strode out of Fulan Pavilion.

Now that Mu Xici is still awake, those forty sticks will definitely not hit Fulanxuan. The servants in the mansion are not accustomed to seeing Chaohuaju's domineering and arrogant, so they deliberately chose the place of execution at a fork in the road where people come and go. Ri Yunshi's screams almost penetrated most of the Duke's mansion.

"My brothers and sisters have always had the same temper. It is really the fault of the veteran minister that His Highness watched a farce. Please forgive me." Standing up, he bowed to Mo Junli again, his sincerity was overflowing with words, "Your Highness, please follow the old minister to the Honghu Pavilion, and I will let the servants prepare lunch immediately."

"My lord, you don't need to be so troublesome. It's good to let Ah Ning accompany the younger generation around the mansion—you might as well go and see the third lady first, that girl was very frightened today." Mo Junli smiled. Laughing, he glanced at the main room in Xuanzhong through the window.

The little girl was originally trying to kill two birds with one stone, cleaning up the second room was only a second priority, but the main thing she was staring at was the Duke.

"It's...that's fine, you'll feel more comfortable if Mingyuan is with you." Mu Wenjing was taken aback for a moment, and just about to say no, then he remembered how Mu Xici was still a baby, and he had barely hardened his heart Immediately softened the three-pointer.

He looked up to the sky and sighed, stretched out his hand and patted Mu Xiuning: "Since that's the case, Mingyuan, why don't you accompany His Highness around, you can't neglect him!"

"Don't worry, dad, I know what's in my heart!" Mu Xiuning smiled playfully, Mu Wenjing looked at his disfigured appearance and suddenly didn't want to talk to him, so he simply ignored him, and Gu Zi said goodbye to Mo Junli temporarily : "Your Highness, the old minister will take his leave first. If you need anything, just ask Ming Yuan."

Mo Junli nodded, watched Mu Wenjing hesitantly step into the main house with a smile, then raised the corner of his eyes to Mu Xiuning: "Come on, Aning, take me to sit with you?"

*
Mu Wenjing stood at the door of Mu Xici's room, hesitating whether to enter or not.

Although the two are father and daughter, they have not seen each other for seven years. The last time he saw her, Mu Xici was just a three-year-old child babbling.

At sunset that day, he passed by Fulanxuan from outside the mansion, and through the hollowed-out courtyard wall, he saw Mu Xiyin playing with her in the courtyard from a distance.

Sheng Chun's sunlight lazily shone on the little girls, forming a layer of pale golden mist. He leaned on the wall and watched for a long time, but he still couldn't make a sound.

Youdao is timid because of his closeness to his hometown, and now he is panicking in the bottom of his heart. A person who can move freely with a spear and a halberd of a hundred catties on weekdays, has not been able to lift the hand to push the door several times.

"Huh? Master, what are you doing standing here, don't you come into the house?" Lingqin, who came over with a water basin, blinked lightly. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Mu Wenjing standing here, walking through the corridor and approaching Yes, he hasn't advanced half a step yet.

"Ah, I...cough, then what, Lingqin, is your lady awake yet?" Mu Wenjing felt rather embarrassed, reached out his hand to touch his nose, and searched for something casually.

After hearing this, Lingqin lowered her eyes and sighed: "No, miss, she was really scared by this appointment. The fever just subsided, and the imperial doctor Xu left not long ago."

"Is that so." Mu Wenjing frowned, Lingqin tilted her head slightly and stared at him for a moment, then carefully pushed open the half-hidden door, and Mu Wenjing followed her slowly into the room.

The furnishings in the hut are clean and simple, and the copper incense burner on the table burns some tranquilizing incense. Through the curtain, Mu Wenjing vaguely saw the little girl's pale face with little blood, and couldn't help but wrinkled. .

"My lord, the servant girl is going down to boil the medicine first. Doctor Xu has prescribed two medicines in total, and there is another medicine. I have to bring it to the young lady later." Lingqin lowered her voice to bless Fushen, and Mu Wenjing waved her hand She went down first, and the maid carefully closed the door behind her when she left.

Mu Wenjing stood in the room for a long time, until most of the incense in the stove was burned, then he walked slowly to Mu Xici's bed.

The little girl who was less than ten years old was thin and thin, curled up in the quilt like an abandoned kitten.

The man pursed his lips and wanted to raise his hand to touch her forehead, but his hand seemed to be tied with a weight of lead, and he couldn't move half an inch. He looked down at her silently for a long while, and finally let out a low sigh. , turned around with a flick of his sleeves.

Just as he was about to lift his legs, the corner of his clothes was suddenly gently grabbed by someone. He looked back at the hand holding the corner of his clothes, and a soft and hoarse voice came from the couch:

"father……"

　Hey, woo, woo, when are you going to test the waters?
　　kids want to be on the list
