The Rebirth of the First Daughter: The Crown Prince

Chapter 148 Goodbye Mu Clan (2)

"I'm making Xi'er laugh." Mrs. Mu reluctantly pulled the corners of her mouth, looked around, wanted to ask Mo Xi to sit down, but found that there was no place to sit in the room, let alone where to sit?
Turning her head, she said a few words to the maid beside her, and then led Mo Xi out of the main house to the next house.

It was a simple study room, with some calligraphy and paintings hanging in the room, and some books placed there.

Mo Xi glanced at it, then looked away, and followed Mrs. Mu to sit down on the brocade couch beside her.

"Why did Second Aunt argue with Second Uncle today?"

When Mo Xi mentioned Mo Zongyuan, Mu's face immediately changed: "The conflict between me and him is not a day or two, I don't want to mention it again. Don't talk about him, Xi'er, let me tell you that you have something to do today ?” As if remembering something, Mrs. Mu asked again: “How is Sheng’er now?”

Hearing this, Mo Xi's heart skipped a beat. The Mu family never mentioned Mo Sheng when he came last time, but this time, why did he mention it first?
Mo Xi thought secretly in her heart, but she dealt with it carefully: "I can't see Brother Six, and I don't know what the situation is like now." As he spoke, Mo Xi showed a bit of sadness on his face. A look, but not fake, but really worried.

Seeing her, Mrs. Mu stretched out her hand to put Mo Xi's hand on hers, and covered it with the other hand: "Don't worry, Cheng'er is not a fateless person, she will be fine for sure." Words, like sighs and comfort, fall into people's hearts, as if they can soothe the worries in their hearts.

At that time, Mo Xi was still wondering what Mu Shi was thinking, but she didn't know that at that moment, Mu Shi, who was sitting beside her like a mother, had already made a decision in her heart.After all, she is a gentle person. Xu Shi never wanted to harm anyone from the very beginning. However, the hatred hidden in her heart forced her to do something. However, in the end, what she did was not to harm anyone!

Many years later, Mo Xi couldn't help sighing when she heard the woman who spoke softly to her back then. If a gentle person like the Mu family hadn't had such a background, if he had never married into the Mo family, if he was just an ordinary person... Little wife, maybe she will be much happier!

"Second Aunt is indeed a gentle person. If Sixth Brother hears what Second Aunt said, he will be very relieved."

Hearing this, the smile on Mu's face froze.

At that moment, although it was only a blink of an eye, Mo Xi noticed it, and she paid attention to it.

The moment Mrs. Mu looked sideways, Mo Xi saw a scar under Mrs. Mu's face. Such a scar was covered by makeup, so if you didn't pay attention, you would never notice it.

However, the scar didn't look like it was left by the man, it was more like——

woman!
As a thought slipped through her mind, Mo Xi's heart skipped a beat for her own thought, and she immediately denied the thought that just popped up.

How can a gentle person like Mu's harm others?

Not wanting to think about it, Mo Xi got up slowly, walked around the room casually, flipping through the books and pictures on the table, and said casually: "Second Aunt is really an elegant person, there are so many books and pictures in this place. "

Hearing this, Mrs. Mu smiled gently: "It's nothing. My father was originally a poor scholar. He wanted to achieve something all his life, but he failed in the end. Therefore, when he was young, he hoped that I would be able to Become a talented woman, but, after all, I failed my father's expectations."

As he said that, the smile on Mu's face faded away, he raised his head, and looked away, his eyes were fascinated, filled with mist, as if he remembered something unhappy.

Seeing Mrs. Mu like this, Mo Xi immediately knew that she had said something wrong, she smiled sarcastically, and said, "I'm sorry." She never continued this topic, if she continued, maybe she would discover something, because of the current situation , She never said anything, so that later, when all the truth unfolded in front of her, she was so caught off guard.

Mo Xi randomly flipped through the screen, suddenly, a portrait came into Mo Xi's eyes, her pupils shrank, and her eyes flickered.

Isn't this a portrait of a grandmother?Why is there a portrait of a grandmother here?

Seeing that Mo Xi hadn't spoken for a long time, Mrs. Mu got up and walked to Mo Xi's side. When she saw what Mo Xi was holding, her heart skipped a beat. She walked over, closed the painting in Mo Xi's hand, and explained: "This is the painting that I had at the beginning of my life." I painted it when I first got married. At that time, I felt that my mother-in-law was like a god-like figure, and I admired it in my heart, so I drew this picture. I only hope that in the future, I can also become a figure like my mother-in-law. However, I The body—" Saying this, Mrs. Mu covered her mouth and coughed a few times.

Mo Xi immediately put the matter of the picture scroll behind her, turned around and stroked Mu's back, to please Mu.

Because she was really worried about Mu Shi, she didn't pay attention to it. At that moment, there was a flash of light in Mu Shi's eyes.

After staying like this for an hour, and talking to Mrs. Mu, Mo Xi couldn't find out anything, so he had to leave. He was about to go back to the mansion immediately, but when he left the Xihe Garden, he was stood by a side not far away. Mo Zongyuan in the pavilion called to stop.

"Xi'er, Second Uncle has something to ask."

Hearing this, Mo Xi had no choice but to lead the two maids over.

"What is Second Uncle calling Xi'er?"

"How is she?"

"Second Uncle is asking Second Aunt?"

Mo Zongyuan squinted at Mo Xi and didn't speak. His eyes were sharp and cold. It was not as gentle as that day in the hall. It seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. He must be worried about something Mu's anger.

"Second Aunt has calmed down a lot, but, Second Uncle, Second Aunt has always been in poor health, why are you arguing with her?"

"She told you that I was going to quarrel with her?"

Hearing this, Mo Xi was taken aback. Hearing what Second Uncle meant, could it be that Second Aunt wanted to quarrel with him?But Second Aunt's gentle temperament——

"Forget it, I don't want to ask about her affairs, I'm already tired. How is the matter with Sheng'er?"

"Xi'er is incompetent, and I haven't been able to find out some clues for the time being, but Xi'er will not give up." While speaking, Mo Xi raised her head and looked at Mo Zongyuan. Suddenly, Mo Xi's eyes changed.

Is she dazzled?Or is she wrong?Why did she feel that the person in front of her breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that she didn't find out what she said?Isn't he the father of sixth brother?How can you show such an expression?Could it be that--

The second uncle is the real murderer of Zhuyu?
Such questions have been circling in Mo Xi's mind until Mo Xi returned to Xichun Garden, but he couldn't come up with an answer.

Seeing Mo Xi's tangled appearance, Lu Yao narrowed her eyebrows and eyes, pondered for a moment, pursed her lips, and said, "Miss, I always feel that there is something strange in Second Master's Mansion."

"Strange? Do you mean the second uncle, or the second aunt?"

"The servant girl can't tell, but she just feels something is wrong."

Mo Xi was taken aback, did even Lu Yao feel this way?

"Luyao, tell me, the person my ancestors have always wanted to protect is the second uncle. After all, the second uncle has an ulterior relationship with Zhuyu."

"This - I don't know, but if I'm honest, I think this matter must have something to do with the second master."

Hearing this, Mo Xi turned her head and looked at Luyao.Mo Zongyuan is the master, and Luyao is a servant. If Luyao says so, it means that she already believes that Mo Zongyuan is the murderer!
But, can things be so simple?
