Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 30 Suspiciousness
...You young masters and young ladies from the Jingyang uncle's mansion may all be a little bit of that serious illness.

The frightened guard bowed his head in silence for a moment, and quietly plugged his ears.The carriage leisurely passed through the streets and alleys, and finally stopped firmly in front of the Duke's Mansion.

The guard bowed slightly, watching Mu Xici and the others walk towards Fulanxuan, while he turned around and left the Duke's mansion. The task assigned to him by the Duke of Guo had been successfully completed, and it was time for him to return to Mu Wenjing.

The grass and plants in winter are mostly withered and yellow, but the two flavors of pine and plum still have a different color.

Mu Xici hesitated for a long time standing beside the half-opened wintersweet plant outside the porch, and finally reached out and broke off a branch of withered peach beside it.

"Miss, if you want to arrange flowers, wouldn't it be good to fold the wintersweet next to it? The flowers are golden and very sweet, and it is the most peaceful to sleep on the bedside." Holding the paper and pen, Lingqin tilted her head and blinked. .

Mu Xici smiled when she heard the words: "The flower bloomed just right, so I folded it for something. Not to mention that I didn't do it for flower arrangement - even if I really wanted to put it in a vase, how many flowers would the broken branches bloom?" sky?"

"It's better to let them bloom on the tree." Mu Xici said while breaking off the twigs from the dead branches, leaving only a three-foot-long bare stem. She held the dead branches in her hands and played with them. After several rounds, making sure that it was comfortable to hold, he pushed the door of Fulanxuan with satisfaction.

"Fulanxuan's place isn't that big, but it's still more than enough to accommodate the four of us—" Master Mu Da crossed the threshold, and took advantage of the opportunity to pull the thin-stalked flower hoe that stood by the courtyard gate. The outer hoe blade immediately turned inward.

She bent her eyes and turned to look at the half-grown boy behind her: "It's just Mr. Zhan, Lingqin and Miss Zhan have passed the time of defense, men and women are different, although there are many vacancies in the main house, it is inevitable for you to live with her It’s inconvenient. The side room in the Xuanzhong is still empty, so I’ll let you settle in the side room, okay?”

"Everything is up to Miss's orders." Zhan Mingxuan folded his eyebrows and folded his hands, his dark pupils were as quiet as stagnant water, without any extraneous emotion.The uncle's mansion was in decline, and he and his younger sister had already been enslaved. Now that they were bought back to the mansion, they were naturally other people's servants.

Time is fate, there is nothing to be unwilling about, not to mention that it was Miss Mu's family who bought his brother and sister, if he stays here well, he might still have a chance to join the army.

After he has made great military achievements in the frontier, he may be able to ask His Majesty for mercy to re-investigate the major case of "committing treason" in Uncle Jingyang's mansion.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't believe that his father, who was upright and loyal all his life, could do such a rebellious thing. He felt that there must be something hidden behind it that he didn't know. One day, he would let the truth be revealed to the world and wash away his peace. The stigma of Yangbo Mansion.

Zhan Mingxuan tightened the corners of his lips, and couldn't help lowering his posture even more. Seeing this, Mu Xici sighed, and waved away Lingqin: "Lingqin, you go and put down the things first, and then take Miss Zhan down to choose The room is easy to settle in."

"Okay." Lingqin responded, trotted into the room and put down the pen and paper in her arms, then hurried over to attract Zhan Ninglu, "Miss Zhan, come with me, what kind of room do you like?"

She had heard from her own lady at the toothmaid's place before that the brothers and sisters of the Zhan family were the young masters of the former Jingyang uncle's mansion, so she did not regard Zhan Ninglu as a maid like herself, she had the right to treat her as a temporary residence in Fulanxuan Not only did she not intend to let her get involved in rough work in the Xuanzhong, but she also respected her a lot in words.

"Hey! Anything is fine, I won't pick—Sister Lingqin, you can just call me 'Ninglu', I don't care if you are a lady or not, if the uncle's house is confiscated, I am no longer an official lady!" Zhan Ning Showing her teeth, and playing around in the carriage on the return journey, she felt that she had formed a deep friendship with Lingqin.

She is lively and transparent by nature, she doesn't have the pretensions of a noble lady from a family, and at this time she easily mixes with Lingqin.

The voices of the two girls gradually faded away, Mu Xici slowly looked away, she leisurely kicked a stone under her feet, and said with a brisk smile in her voice: "Mr. Zhan, do you want to rectify the name of the uncle's house?"

"What?" Zhan Mingxuan was stunned, he never thought that this girl who looked a few years younger than his sister would be so straightforward, and she revealed the biggest obsession in his heart as soon as she opened her mouth.

"What I mean is, I have a way to help you rectify the name of Uncle Jingyang's Mansion within seven years." Mu Xici raised her eyes, staring quietly at the young man in black clothes, calmly.

"Miss's conditions?" Zhan Mingxuan frowned, and looked at the young boy in front of him calmly. He didn't believe that there were pies that fell out of thin air in the world.

Likewise, he didn't quite believe that this little girl who was less than ten years old could help him.

"My condition is very simple, I ask Mr. Zhan to be my guard for three years. After three years, I will give you your freedom." Mu Xici's lips curled slightly, "How?"

Zhan Mingxuan didn't answer, just stared at her and frowned more and more. After thinking for a long time, he said, "How can Miss help?"

Sure enough, he was still so cautious.

Mu Xici's smile was slightly restrained, and there was more sadness in his brows: "I know Mr. Zhan wants to join the army. In the future, I hope to use military merits in exchange for the grace of the sage. But have you ever thought about the case of Uncle Jingyang's mansion? Very broad, the grace obtained in exchange for military merit, even if it can verify the innocence of the uncle's mansion, it will not be able to find out the real mastermind behind the scenes."

In his previous life, Zhan Mingxuan did make a lot of military exploits, and that military exploits did force Mo Shuyuan to agree to re-examine the past, but after all, he compromised on this matter too easily, so easily that it made her full of doubts .

It's a pity that she was so busy in the South and North Wars that she really didn't have time to think carefully.

Two days ago, she happened to think of this matter, and checked again, which actually made her feel a few suspicious points.

Perhaps there are only eight points of the truth that was revealed to the world back then, and the remaining two points are the key to connecting everything——

"Miss, what do you mean by that?" Zhan Mingxuan's eyes trembled slightly after being picked out again. The behavior of the little girl in front of him seemed to be far beyond her age. At this point, he felt a little jealous for no reason. .

"Young Master Zhan, do you still remember who reported on your father to His Majesty?" Mu Xici said with the corners of his eyes and eyebrows stretched. Some details are easy to be overlooked, but once discovered, they will never be forgotten.

"Marquis of Anping, Zhu Sheng." Zhan Mingxuan replied subconsciously, and Mu Xici took the opportunity to ask: "Then do you know who is standing behind Marquis of Anping?"

"Third Prince, Mo Shuyun."

"That's right, it's the third prince. His mother and concubine Yuan Jieyu is a concubine from the Hou family. In terms of seniority, Mo Shuyun wants to call Zhu Sheng 'uncle'." Mu Xici nodded and continued to ask, "Then, do you know Is there anyone behind Concubine Xian?"

"Concubine Xian?" Zhan Mingxuan mused after hearing this, "The birth mother of the Fifth Prince...is behind the House of Minister of the Household Department. But what does this have to do with Marquis Anping?"

"How can it be irrelevant? Think about it carefully, which household does the wife of the Minister of the Household Department come from?" Mu Xici stroked his palms, Zhan Mingxuan followed her thoughts, and suddenly his face turned pale.

The wife of the Household Minister... is the younger sister of Anping Hou Zhusheng.

　The Marquis of Anping is a civil servant and has no military power

　　Hubu Shangshu had nothing to do with Anping Hou Fengma Niu at first sight, so A Ci didn't think so far in his previous life for a while

　　Of course, there are other reasons, which will be discussed in the next chapter.
