Distressed wife

Chapter 121 A Good Dog Doesn’t Get in the Way (1)
"I'm waiting for you." Mu Lingxuan put down the book in his hand, and went forward to cover Zhong Hui's hands in his palms. He felt cold, and he frowned slightly, "Why is it so cold?"

"It's been like this since I was a child." Zhong Hui felt the warmth brought to him by Mu Lingxuan, and looked up at him blankly. For some reason, the corners of his eyes became sore inexplicably.

Seeing her like this, Mu Lingxuan quickly hugged her, "But are you still worried about your mother-in-law's body?"

Zhong Hui leaned in his arms, and slowly closed her eyes, "Mother is feeling better, but you are going to travel again, so I don't feel at ease."

Mu Lingxuan looked at her tenderly, his already handsome figure, now reflected in his doting eyes, made her look even more handsome.

Zhong Hui raised her eyes to meet his affectionate eyes, and the flash of self-blame and pity in her eyes made her heart feel like it was being torn apart alive, with twitching pain.

"When I come back, I will stay with you for a few more days." Mu Lingxuan said softly, and lowered his head to place a light kiss on her forehead.

For the first time, Zhong Hui struggled in her heart. She was hesitant. The peace talisman in her sleeve was like a death talisman. In the end, she couldn't resist the fear of Lord Zhonghou, and said softly, "I went to the temple today. , prayed for a talisman for you and your mother."

Mu Lingxuan didn't have any doubts, but he was grateful for Zhong Hui's gentle care, lowered his head and hugged her gently, "Madam still loves me."

Zhong Hui's heart sank again, and she looked up at him coquettishly, "It's good that you know."

Mu Lingxuan lowered his head and bit her lips lightly, Zhong Hui was picked up by him, turned around and stepped into the room, the curtain was lowered, it was a night of warmth.

The next morning, Zhong Hui got up early, and Mu Lingxuan took care of everything. He deliberately put the peace amulet into the sachet, and handed it to him shyly, "But remember to wear it, don't lose it."

Mu Lingxuan took it with a smile, put it carefully in his sleeve, and said softly, "Naturally, I can't lose it. I can count on this route to relieve my lovesickness."

Mu Lingxuan went to Jiyue Courtyard to bid farewell to the Qi family, Mu Ziyan rushed over early in the morning, and sent Zhong Hui to his Taoist residence together, got on his horse, led the book boy and left.

Zhong Huili watched the handsome figure gradually leave outside the mansion, and for some reason, she just felt that the sky in front of her seemed to be getting dark, and she felt dizzy for a while, and turned to look at Mu Ziyan, who was watching with a smile. she.

Knowing that she had lost her composure, she quickly supported her forehead, leaned against the girl beside her, and looked up at her, "I made my sister laugh."

Mu Ziyan saw that her face was flushed, and there were faint hickey marks on her slightly exposed neck, so she knew that it was a night of spring breeze yesterday, so she just smiled, "Sister-in-law is not feeling well, let's go and rest, brother will definitely Will be back sooner."

"Then I'll go back first, and my sister will go back to rest earlier." After Zhong Hui said that, she turned around and entered the mansion with the support of the girl.

Mu Ziyan raised her eyes and looked into the distance, watching Mu Lingxuan's figure gradually disappear into the street, she clearly saw Zhong Hui's lonely and gloomy eyes, she could not mistakenly read it, thinking that Zhong Hui returned to Zhonghou's mansion yesterday Something must happen.

Mu Ziyan turned her eyes and sneered, "Can you find out what happened in Zhonghou's mansion yesterday?"

"I just found out that the young mistress came out of Mrs. Zhonghou's yard, so she went to sit in her own yard for a while, and seemed to see Miss Zhonger." Yun Xiang continued, "Only this can be found in Zhonghou's mansion." information."

Mu Ziyan nodded slightly, "It's okay, what's going on with Second Uncle?"

"Now the second master has arrived in Funan, but he deliberately concealed his identity and disguised himself a bit. Where is he in Funan yet?" Yun Xiang followed Mu Ziyan into the mansion and said in a low voice.

Mu Ziyan narrowed her eyes slightly, "It seems that Daddy's place is really dangerous."

"Miss, are you planning to go to Funan or Nanlu?" Ruoxiang asked cautiously.

Mu Ziyan turned to look at her, "What do you think?"

"I don't know." Yunxiang lowered her eyes and replied in a low voice, she really didn't know where the eldest lady was going first?

Mu Ziyan was silent for a moment, the two of them had already arrived at Yanluo courtyard unknowingly, now that Mu Zixi and Mu Zijing were not in the mansion, Zhang's family was locked in the ancestral hall, Cui's family had never been out of the courtyard, appearing very calm.

However, Mu Ziyan felt that there must be something strange about it, and when she raised her eyes and saw Biyun coming back, she opened her lips softly, "What's the matter?"

"Miss, the third lady's place is too quiet, Xiaocui sent a letter, she sneaked into the third lady's room secretly, but didn't see the third lady in the house." Biyun's eyes flashed with worry, and he spoke in a low voice.

"Not here?" Mu Ziyan narrowed her eyes slightly, obviously surprised by this.

"She is out of the house, she can go out in a fair manner, how can she be so sneaky?" Mu Ziyan couldn't help asking, "Is she out of the house?"

"This... I don't know." Biyun said in a low voice, "It's really strange if the third lady has not left the mansion, but now she is missing."

Mu Ziyan was silent for a moment, and then said, "Find her whereabouts as soon as possible, it seems that Third Aunt will not be safe."

"Miss, the second master has made a movement, what about the third master?" Rue Xiang asked in a low voice at this moment.

Mu Ziyan narrowed her eyes slightly, now that everything was rushing towards her face, she had forgotten where the third uncle was, so she raised her eyes to look at Yunxiang, "You're right."

"The servant girl will go now." Yunxiang bowed her head and replied, turned around and left the room.

Biyun felt that a layer of black mist was covering her eyes, she couldn't see the direction at all, she just felt that everything was weird.

Could it be that something big is going to happen in Muhou Mansion?

"Miss, Nanny Lin is here, but it looks like she's only half-breathed." Bi Yun looked at Mu Ziyan's solemn expression, and said carefully from the side.

"The centipede is dead but not stiff. Nanny Lin is the confidant of the third lady, so she won't disappear like that." Mu Ziyan seemed to have thought of something when he thought of the word confidant, "I remember the second aunt's life. The nurse next to me doesn't seem to be at the house for the past few months."

"Miss is talking about Nanny Lu?" Biyun pondered for a while, then asked.

"That's right." Mu Ziyan remembered that she had never seen Nanny Lu since she was reborn, but she just thought it was strange at the time and didn't think about it. Now that Biyun said that, she remembered Lu Nanny next to Mrs. Zhang. Nanny is a bit more powerful than Nanny Lin, and even better than Nanny Cui.
