Distressed wife

Chapter 135: The Turtle in the Urn (5)
He looked at the old lady, and muttered in a low voice, "How did I know that girl has such ability to find out my whereabouts and give me such a big meeting gift."

Seeing that he was still in the mood to talk and laugh at this time, the old lady immediately stared angrily, but there was a bit of doting in her brows, which was different from the expression she looked at Mu Qingran. It is conceivable that the old lady In people's hearts, the one who loves and loves the most is Mu Qinglin, not Mu Qingran.

Nanny Cong came in in a hurry, Mu Qinglin smiled playfully at the old lady, but when he looked at Nanny Cong, he became indifferent and sullen, "Why can't the old lady speak?"

"Return to the third master, all this is the fault of the old slave." The mother kneeled quickly and replied in a low voice.

"You?" A murderous intent flashed across Mu Qinglin's eyes, obviously intent on murdering Cong Nanny.

Seeing Mu Qinglin like this, the old lady was quite comforted. She knew that her son was protecting her, and she couldn't bear to let her suffer any grievances. She quickly grabbed Mu Qinglin's ears and interrupted Mu Qinglin's thoughts .

Mu Qinglin bared his teeth and grinned, and turned to look at the old lady, "Mother, be gentle, my ears are about to get sore, if you twist them, I'm afraid they might break."

The old lady snorted, but she still let go, then looked at him and blinked, Mu Qinglin turned to Nanny Cong, "I'll spare you today."

"Thank you, Third Master, for your kindness." Nurse Cong said quickly, put down her clean robes, and then retreated.

Mu Qinglin waited to leave from his mother, looked at the old lady and said, "Mother, this girl is really weird, I am worried that if your plan is ruined by her? Why don't my son just give her to... "

As Mu Qinglin spoke, he made a gesture of killing, and those eyes shot out a cold killing intent.

The old lady shook her head, then looked at Mu Qinglin, as if she was saying, "You can't touch her now, if something happens to her, it will alarm Mu Qingyuan and Mu Lingxuan, the Duke's Mansion will not let it go, now the time is too late arrive."

"After this incident, to be on the safe side, it's better for my son to return to his post." Mu Qinglin pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice.

The old lady pointed at him, "Is this matter settled?"

"Mother, don't worry, your son will be safe, you don't have to worry about it." Mu Qinglin replied proudly, and then saw the concubine come in.

"Third Master, the fragrant soup is ready." Cong Momo said with her head bowed.

"En." Mu Qinglin immediately stood up from the ground, and then supported the old lady to sit on the square couch, stepped on the wet vinegar-smelling shoes and went out of the room, and then went to the bathroom through the side passage.

Mu Ziyan returned to Yanluo Courtyard, with a smile on her lips all the time, she raised her eyes to look at Yunxiang, "Send someone to keep an eye on Nanny Lu."

"Yes." Rue Xiang replied, and then went out again.

The corner of Biyun's mouth couldn't hide a smile, and she looked at Mu Ziyan with a smile, "Miss, these three masters have been soaked in the river of vinegar today, and the jealousy is too big."

The smile on the corner of Mu Zi's mouth became brighter and brighter, but when he thought of Zhong Huilai, his heart became a little heavier, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually subsided, and he raised his eyes to look out through the screen window, "It's just a wave of unrest. Just a wave."

"Eldest Miss, Eldest Young Mistress, do you want to report this matter to Madam?" Biyun asked cautiously.

Mu Ziyan shook her head, "At this juncture, it's better not to let mother worry too much, I have my own opinion on this matter."

"Yes." Biyun didn't say any more.

After Yun Xiang came back, Mu Ziyan also made some arrangements, planning to leave for the South Foot tomorrow morning.

At this time, Nanny Lu went straight to the ancestral hall when she came out of Changsong Courtyard, but unfortunately, she was stopped by the guards outside the door.

"I want to go in and see the Second Madam." Nanny Lu has followed Zhang's arrogance in Muhou's Mansion for these years, and now seeing these guards dare to show her face, it is inevitable that she will feel uncomfortable, so she said coldly.

"If you want to see the second lady, you need to get the consent of Housekeeper Lu." The guard replied in a cold voice, also unambiguous.

Nanny Lu knew that breaking in would not work, so she turned around and went to look for Lu Zhong, but Lu Zhong is not in the mansion now, and she can no longer look for the old lady, so she simply went back to Zhang's courtyard.

After entering the yard, I felt that the place was very deserted and desolate. The girl and woman who used to see her now only looked indifferent, obviously it is not what it used to be.

Nanny Lu is not feeling well, but now she has no choice but to hope that the second wife will get better soon, so that the second wife will have hope.

When Mu Ziyan learned that Nanny Lu had shut the door, her mouth curled up with evil charm, "The old lady has no time to take care of the second aunt now, and there won't be too much commotion in the third room, just tell Butler Lu, Don't let Nanny Lu get close to Second Aunt, everything will be decided after I come back."

"Yes, miss." Knowing that the affairs of the house have been properly arranged, Yunxiang also let go and woke up.

In Changsong Courtyard, after taking a bath, Mu Qinglin came out wearing a dry robe. Compared with Mu Qingran's gentle and handsome appearance, Mu Qinglin seemed a bit dull and rather bookish, but this was just superficial. In front of people, he made no secret of his ostentation and casualness.

He really stretched his arms, and then sat beside the old lady, but regardless of the rules and etiquette, he poured tea by himself, took a few sips, and then sighed comfortably, narrowing his eyes slightly, feeling very comfortable.

Seeing him like this, the old lady smiled kindly, which was different from the kindness she usually showed to outsiders. This was a mother's true love for her child.

Mu Qinglin put down his cup, looked up at the old lady, "Mother, I won't be with you anymore, I'll come back when things are done."

"En." The old lady nodded, a look of reluctance flashed in her eyes.

Between the old lady and Mu Qinglin, only when the mother and son are alone can they show the deep affection between mother and child. If other people are present, the old lady will be extremely indifferent to Mu Qinglin.

Mu Qinglin got up with a smile, then turned around, did not leave from the secret passage, but went directly to the third-bedroom Cui's courtyard through another door, then got into the secret passage and left quickly.

That night, Mu Qinglin left the capital and returned to his post.

Mu Ziyan also got the news very quickly, she raised her eyebrows lightly, and understood many things.

It seems that what the old lady really loves is not the second uncle, but this third uncle who looks simple, honest and silent on weekdays. It's just that she died too early in her previous life, and she didn't see the real relationship between the second and third rooms of Muhou Mansion in the end. In the end, after she died, she was integrated into the dragon and phoenix candle, and began to wander around, but she never knew what happened after her death.

Mu Ziyan felt that something must have happened after her death, but now she doesn't know. All she needs to know now is that no matter what their conspiracy is, she will not let them succeed.

Early the next morning, Mu Ziyan went to Jiyue Courtyard to bid farewell to Mrs. Qiao, and then led Ruxiang and Biyun to leave Muhou's Mansion secretly.

But what they didn't know was that after they left for a quarter of an hour, Zhong Hui also followed them away secretly.

Mu Ziyan is now wearing a man's robe, and looks like a white-faced scholar, with red lips and white teeth, and delicate features.

Biyun and Ruxiang also dressed up in men's clothing, and under the covert protection of Yinyi, the three masters and servants left the capital in a concealed manner, and then rode to the southern foot of the city on a good horse that had been prepared early in the morning and traveled thousands of miles a day.

In Jiyue Courtyard, Qiao's forehead was leaning on the soft couch, her expression was a little tired, she raised her eyes to look at Cui Mama, "Why did that girl Yan'er go to the doctor's office in advance?"

"Miss said, if you go earlier, you can come back sooner." Nanny Cui held the ginseng soup and handed it to Mrs. Qiao, whispering.

"It's just my body that doesn't live up to expectations, otherwise, I don't need to work so hard." Qiao's somewhat guessed something, and looked up at Nanny Cui, "Go to Hui girl's place and see how you are. ?”

"Yes." Nanny Cui replied, but she sighed faintly in her heart, but now she can't tell Madam the truth.

After serving Mrs. Qiao, Madam Cui went to Zhong Hui's yard in person. Ling'er saw Madam Cui approaching from a distance, and hurried forward to meet her, "Mother Cui, why are you here?"

"Madam was worried about the young lady's body, so she asked the old slave to come and have a look." Cui Mama said, and followed Ling'er into the house.

After opening the curtain in the inner room, he glanced at the figure lying on the bed through the curtain, turned his eyes and asked cautiously, "But have you taken medicine?"

"I ate it earlier, the doctor said resting is for rest." Ling'er also replied in a low voice, then put down the curtains, asked Cui Mama to leave the room, and sat down in the ear room.

Cui Momo raised her eyes, and then said to Linger, "If that's the case, Madam can rest assured, you'll take good care of me, if there is any shortage, just come and find me."

"Yes, Ling'er sent Nanny Cui." Ling'er got up and turned to Nanny Cui after speaking.

Mother Cui saw that Ling'er was clever, she nodded slightly, turned around and left the yard.

Ling'er watched Nanny Cui leave, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth, she turned around and entered the room.

The people lying in the room all looked and sounded exactly like Zhong Hui, she was relieved at this moment, "I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat."

"Okay, when have you enjoyed it like this, why don't you take advantage of these few days to enjoy it." Ling'er said and handed the best ginseng tea.

The fake Zhong Hui took it, "This is no enjoyment, it's a real pain."

"Don't complain, if you reveal your secrets, you and I will die." After Ling'er finished speaking, she sat aside and started sewing by herself.

"The life of a slave is really worthless." The fake Zhong Hui raised his head and drank the ginseng tea, then put the bowl aside, then lay down, turned his eyes to look at Ling'er, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Mother Cui went back to Jiyue Courtyard and told Mrs. Qiao about Zhong Hui's situation, and Mrs. Qiao was relieved, "It's good like this, and take good care of her. She is still young, and there will always be some in the future, but Xuan'er When I came back, I didn't know how to tell him, hey..."
