Chapter 154 Help
Mu Qingshuang knew in her heart that the poisoning was probably exposed, and she had already thought about the next course of action. There was no way she would let herself be caught back in vain and continue to suffer.

She packed up her gold and silver, put away her banknotes, and went out quietly.

As soon as Mu Qingshuang walked out of the room, she met Mu Qinghong in the courtyard, who was dressed up in a colorful way.

Mu Qinghong raised her eyes, glanced at her hurried sister casually, and casually asked, "Sister, where are you going?"

When Chad saw the person, Mu Qingshuang subconsciously put away the banknotes she was carrying, but the look on her face remained calm and she answered calmly.

"It's okay, I'll go to the dining room to get some food."

"Oh, go ahead." Mu Qinghong was not a person who thought too much, so she responded nonchalantly and turned back to the back room.

She still had to dress up beautifully and let her grandfather find the best marriage for her.

Before Mu Qinghong turned her head, she glanced at Mu Qingshuang's face again. The joy on her face was a little brighter, and she was secretly thinking: She is much more beautiful than her sister!
Mu Qingshuang stood still for a while, turned around, stared at Mu Qinghong's back with a dark expression, and walked out of the courtyard after a moment.

She took a special detour and quietly groped her way to the main courtyard of Zhizhou Mansion.

After all, Ms. Cui is the eldest lady of Zhizhou Prefecture. The courtyard where she lives is particularly spacious, with pavilions, waterside pavilions, rockeries and round lakes. It is several times more spacious than the courtyard where the mother and daughter live.

There were especially many maids and mothers coming in and out. From a distance, it looked like a crowded scene.

Mu Qingshuang leaned against the ancient tree not far away and looked around a few times. Seeing the Cui family in such a pomp, she couldn't help but feel a sporadic resentment in her heart.

The Cui family was just Zhang Zhizhou's second son raised from his aunt, and their mother was an upright eldest daughter. But now the courtyard arranged by their grandfather was so shabby, with no one to serve them.

Mu Qingshuang had vaguely sensed early on that her grandfather didn't care about the mother and daughter at all. He would hijack the ship to rescue them. It was probably just a matter of convenience. He must have had other intentions.

Therefore, she came here to find another way out for herself, hoping to find a different place to go from Cui. Otherwise, the poisoning incident would have been exposed, and officials would come to their yard immediately.

Mu Qingshuang observed for a moment and vaguely saw a slightly familiar figure, her eyes brightened slightly.

At the gate of the courtyard, an old nanny with her hands on her hips, a fierce face and a strong body, was lecturing the little maid beside her.

Mu Qingshuang straightened her expression, suppressed the hurried demeanor that came all the way, walked forward calmly, and faced the old nanny who was bossing around the little maid beside her.

"Are you Aunt Liu who lives with Grandma Cui? I'm here to see Grandma. Could you please make it easier for me?"

Quietly, Mu Qingshuang had already stuffed the big gold bracelet into Nanny Liu's hand with a very neat movement.

Ever since the Mu family fell into decline, she had secretly hidden this big gold bracelet, but now she gave it to an unknown servant, which naturally made her feel distressed.

She just couldn't bear to leave the child without trapping the wolf. She had to please this Aunt Liu, just because this Aunt Liu was the eldest grandma next to Cui and could take her to see Cui.

When Nanny Liu saw her, she was stunned. After hearing Mu Qingshuang's words, she turned around and looked at her carefully.

With short hands, Grandma Liu rubbed the cold big gold bracelet in her palm a few times, and her originally fierce look softened.

"It turns out to be my cousin. Madam is inside. She was talking about wanting to see you a few days ago."

"Can you please introduce me to grandma?" Mu Qingshuang smiled kindly upon hearing this, and warmly stepped forward to lend a hand and lowered her posture.No matter how you say it, Mu Qingshuang is a serious cousin who can also be called a master. A servant like Aunt Liu can be treated like this by her master, so she naturally has a good impression of Mu Qingshuang.

Aunt Liu naturally led Mu Qingshuang in and took her to the room in the side courtyard to wait.

"Miss Cousin, I still need to go and report to the madam."

Mu Qingshuang took the tea brought by the maid next to her, smiled kindly at Nanny Liu, took out a hosta, and handed it over quietly.

"Thank you, Grandma Liu."

"Good talk, good talk."

Aunt Liu came out this time and earned a big gold bracelet and a fine hosta for nothing, so she was naturally grinning with joy.

Mu Qingshuang sat upright, eyes lowered, staring at the tea sloshing in the cup, but she didn't take a sip, as if she was thinking about something.

She was planning the next path for herself, and... what to say and do when she saw Cui next.

Tongzhou was far away from their Yong'an Marquis Mansion, so Mu Qingshuang had only met her grandfather less than ten times, and she didn't know much about Mrs. Cui who was brought up later.

Not long after, Aunt Liu came straight back, with a smile on her wrinkled face like a withered orange peel, and said hello: "Miss Cousin, Madam is calling you over."

Mu Qingshuang nodded her thanks repeatedly and followed her.

As soon as she entered the main room, Mu Qingshuang lowered her head, already secretly brewing her emotions. When she raised her eyes and saw the graceful lady above, she immediately called out: "Grandma is safe."

Ms. Cui sat upright, glancing at it lightly, and nonchalantly playing with the round and crystal jade beads in her hand.

Her scornful attitude seemed to treat Mu Qingshuang as a gadget that could be used casually.

"I remember your name was..."

Cui's arrogant and indifferent attitude was clearly seen by everyone around her, and Grandma Liu also began to weigh the weight of this cousin.

Mu Qingshuang bit her lip secretly, but then she stepped forward as if she didn't realize it. She smiled eagerly and said warmly: "Grandma, I am Shuang'er."

"What are you doing here?"

Cui's attitude towards Zhang, mother and daughter has always been unfavorable. She just saw Mu Qingshuang coming alone and was bored, so she wanted to see what she wanted to do.

After all, this is not her biological granddaughter, and she doesn't even have any blood ties.

Mu Qingshuang didn't care at all about her cold attitude, and suddenly knelt on the ground, with two lines of tears streaming down her face.

"Grandma! Please save Shuang'er!"

She fell to her knees on the ground, a look of pain on her face, and begged.
