Distressed wife

Chapter 115 Mr. Chu (5)
"Ink, cotton cloth, face powder..." Seeing the excessive list above, Mu Ziyan saw that these were just commonly used items, but she felt that there seemed to be some ties to these items.

She looked up at Nanny Cui, "Don't tell mother about this, lest she worry."

"I'll save it for you, old slave." Nanny Cui replied in a low voice, "Miss, please forgive this old slave for speaking bluntly, you can't rely on Eldest and Young Mistress."

Mu Ziyan looked at Nanny Cui, "Why?"

"Young Mistress's heart is toward the Zhong family." Cui Momo told Mu Ziyan one by one of her observations over the past few days, "For example, the sachet came from the dowry maid she brought. , She didn't investigate carefully, and it's like the second wife framed that day, the old slave always thinks that the young mistress seems to be too diligent."

Mu Ziyan had this intention, seeing that Nanny Cui's analysis was straightforward, but she didn't want to really doubt Zhong Hui. After all, she is the person her brother loves. If something is really found out in the future, how should she deal with her brother? Say?

She finally sighed, "Until this matter is confirmed, don't say anything, everything will be as before."

"Yes." Nanny Cui replied in a low voice, and she didn't stay any longer, "The old slave has left first."

"When master comes, I will personally ask master to go." Mu Ziyan looked at Nanny Cui, "I won't be at the house in a few days, mother will be taken care of by Nanny Cui."

"This old slave should do his best." Cui Momo bowed in response, and then retreated.

When Yun Xiang came back, she saw Cui Mama's worried expression, and stepped forward, "Mother, why do you have such an ugly face? Are you sick?"

"You take good care of the eldest lady, I'm fine." Cui Nanny patted the back of Yunxiang's hand lightly, and walked out.

Yun Xiang looked at Nanny Cui's back, lowered her eyes slightly, restrained her thoughts, and entered the room, "Missy, Miss [-] and Miss [-] are in the family temple right now, it's very noisy."

"Let the old lady take care of this matter." Mu Ziyan didn't care much about this matter.

"Yes." Rue Xiang replied in a low voice.

Mu Ziyan carefully considered what Nanny Cui said just now, and then pushed the account book left by Nanny Cui to Yunxiang, "Go and check."

"Yes." Rue Xiang took it, turned around and left again.

Biyun came in with tea, then put it aside and muttered, "Miss, I feel that this house has become weird."

"Tell me about it." Mu Ziyan raised her eyes and looked at her and asked.

Bi Yun first handed Mu Ziyan a pastry, and then holding a cup of fragrant tea, she said in a low voice, "Chun Yu and Cai Lian went to the family temple with the second young lady, and now Nanny Lin is paralyzed on the bed and hasn't gotten up yet. The other people in the second and third rooms are in high spirits, I don't know why?"

Mu Ziyan raised her eyes slightly, "Excited?"

"Yes." Biyun continued, "Everyone has a smile on their faces, and they are happier than the Spring Festival."

Mu Ziyan's eyes sank slightly, what the hell are the second and third bedrooms doing?

"Miss, Xiaocui came here just now, and said that the third lady cried for a long time yesterday, but this morning she didn't look sad, and went to the old lady's place with a smile instead." Biyun said in a low voice, " After coming out from the old lady, she got many gifts, after the third lady went back, she kept laughing in the room, not knowing what she got, but she was so happy."

Mu Ziyan felt something was wrong the more she listened, "What else?"

"And in the second lady's yard, those girls and women don't work, they sit around eating melon seeds and chatting. Now that the lady is pregnant, she doesn't want to control her, but makes them proud." Bi Yun obviously snorted as he spoke.

Mu Ziyan got up slowly, "Follow me to have a look."

"Yes." Bi Yun hurriedly followed, and stepped out of the Yanluo Courtyard with Mu Ziyan, first went to the nearby Yuexi Courtyard, and saw that the maids and women in the courtyard were very lively, sitting in a group at the moment, Drinking and chatting during the day.

Mu Ziyan's eyes sank, she carried her into the yard, and said in a cold voice, "What are you doing?"

The voice was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and the girls and women sitting around looked up in fright. When they saw that it was Mu Ziyan, they quickly put down their wine glasses and knelt on the ground.

"Are there any rules in the Hou's residence?" Mu Ziyan stepped forward and coldly glanced at the girl in front of her, and shouted sharply, "In broad daylight, they started drinking so recklessly."

"Back to Miss, this is a gift from the Second Madam." The woman raised her eyes to look at Mu Ziyan, and said rather aggrieved.

Mu Ziyan snorted coldly, "Second Aunt is now locked in the ancestral hall, how could she do such absurd things?"

"It is indeed a gift from the Second Madam, Eldest Miss, please take a look." The woman quickly took out a cloth strip from her bosom, and handed it to Mu Ziyan with both hands.

After Mu Ziyan raised his hand to look at it, a cold light shot out from his eyes, and then he put it away, "This Muhou Mansion can't help but be so unruly, so let's clean it up quickly, otherwise, each of us will take the board."

"Yes, the old slave will clean up now." The old woman was trembling with fright, and quickly responded, then turned around and put away the food and drinks with the others.

Mu Ziyan turned around and left Yuexi courtyard, and then went to Zhang's courtyard, and saw exactly the same situation, and then looked at the words on the cloth, with a cold expression, reprimanded the girls and women in the courtyard, and led Biyun went to Changsongyuan.

This matter can't alarm mother now, she doesn't want her mother to get angry because of this matter, so she went to look for the old lady.

Seeing Mu Ziyan approaching angrily, Mother Cong didn't panic, but bowed her head respectfully, "Miss, please wait in the hall for a while, this old slave will go pass the message."

"If you have any trouble, please follow the mother." Mu Ziyan suppressed the anger in her heart, and said in a low voice.

After entering the inner room, seeing the old lady taking a nap, she said in a low voice, "Old lady, the eldest lady is here."

"But it's about drinking for the second room?" The old lady knew it well, and asked casually.

"Exactly." Nanny Cong replied in a low voice.

"I'm just an old woman. I don't have the right to speak about the affairs of the Marquis's Mansion. Now that my body is loose, I don't want to worry about these troublesome things. Just tell her that I'm not awake yet." The old lady said lightly. , a faint light flashed in his eyes.

The nurse answered in a low voice, then went out of the room, looked at Mu Ziyan, "Miss, the old lady has been unwell for the past two days, and she is still awake."

Mu Ziyan more or less expected this would happen, so he stayed for a short time, and immediately said, "Since grandma is not feeling well, it is easy to give birth, and I will not disturb grandma's rest."

"This old slave will send the young lady off." Cong Momo said and sent Mu Ziyan out of the yard.

Biyun said unconvinced, "Miss, the old madam is obviously unwilling to interfere."

"Let's go to the ancestral hall." Mu Ziyan only felt that there seemed to be another mystery in this matter, seeing the old lady's attitude now, she must have a plan in her heart.

Yun Xiang came from afar, "Miss, I have checked all the items in this ledger, and it is indeed too much. The second lady has used these items elsewhere."

"Where?" Mu Ziyan asked in a low voice.

"Now there are rumors in the capital." Yun Xiang took the note and handed it to her, "This was just spread today, and now the whole capital is in a commotion."

After Mu Ziyan took it, her complexion turned gloomy after waiting to see it. It was all written on it that she, Mu Ziyan, was the lone star of the gods. Good death, the life of the widow.

Mu Ziyan sneered, "Second Aunt took great pains to do this, but the timing was just right."

Just in time for my father to go to Funan, my elder brother followed the crown prince to the southern foot. Now everyone in the capital is afraid that such rumors are known, but if something happens to my father or my elder brother, something will happen to my mother, and then the rumors are confirmed, and Naturally, she was given the notoriety of being a disaster star, and the old lady drove her to the family temple logically, and the position of Hou's mansion naturally fell on the second uncle's head.

She saw through the scheme at the Duke's Mansion's birthday banquet, and they set up another trap for her to jump into. She sneered, and if they wanted to give her such a bad name, it would depend on whether they had the ability.

When Bi Yun saw this, her face flushed with anger, "This second lady is too vicious, she even thought of such a way to frame the eldest lady, and even cursed Lord Hou and his wife."

Yun Xiang looked at Mu Ziyan, "Miss, what should I do now?"

Mu Ziyan was about to go to the ancestral hall, as if he wanted something, he turned to look at Yunxiang, "When will Master arrive?"

"Now Yinyi is making arrangements, and a stick of incense will be needed soonest." Yun Xiang replied, counting the time.

"Go to Jiyue Courtyard." Mu Ziyan rushed to Jiyue Courtyard as soon as he said that, just as he stepped into the courtyard, he heard a scream from inside.

Mu Ziyan was startled, and rushed in quickly, and saw Nanny Cui anxiously supporting Mrs Qi, while Mrs Qi was clutching her stomach, her face was pale and sweaty.

"Hurry up and help your mother to lie down." Mu Ziyan couldn't help shaking her hands, suppressing the panic in her heart, and stepped forward to support Qi Shi.

Mrs. Qi raised her eyes to look at Mu Ziyan, her eyes were in a daze, her lower abdomen was swollen and painful, tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, "Yan'er, mother is fine, you go out now."

Mu Ziyan shook her head, and the corners of her eyes were sour in spite of herself, holding back tears, holding Qi's cold hand, turned to look at Yunxiang, "Come on, hurry up."

"Yes." Rue Xiang replied, turned around and rushed out.

Mu Ziyan looked at Nanny Cui, "Invite Doctor Zheng here first."

"It's already gone." Cui Mama remembered her lips trembling, and her lowered eyes comforted Qi, "Madam, you have to hold on."

Mu Ziyan grasped Qi Shi's hand tightly, but when she lowered her head, she saw red under her body, her heart was in her throat, and her heart was trembling. Could it be that it was destined by God that this child would not be able to stay after all?No, with her here, she will never allow this child to disappear. She is very clear that if this child disappears, it will kill half of the mother's life. If someone deliberately spreads rumors about the matter of father and brother , wouldn't this kill my mother?
