Distressed wife

Chapter 14
Xiao Cui followed Mu Zijing quietly with her head down.

After returning to the "Jinglan Courtyard", Mu Zijing stood in the room with a small body, pointing at Xiaocui who was kneeling quietly on the ground with wide eyes.

"Miss San, this servant has something to say." Xiao Cui said before Mu Zijing could curse angrily.

"What do you have to say? Could it be you, how could I lose face with the elder sister?" Mu Zijing was so angry when she thought of being reprimanded by Mu Ziyan just now, she clutched her heart and gritted her teeth. Staring at Xiao Cui.

"Miss San, look at this..." Xiaocui raised her hands and presented the handkerchief in her hand.

Mu Zijing glanced at the handkerchief in Xiaocui's hand, the anger on her face did not dissipate in the slightest, that immature face was twisted into a ball at this moment, those eyes seemed to be able to spew out fire, "This is What?"

"This was picked up by my servant this morning." Xiaocui said in a low voice, "Miss San, please take a closer look at this veil."

Mu Zijing glanced at it again, feeling a little familiar, "This... seems to belong to big sister."

"Look at the blood on it again." Seeing Mu Zijing's gaze on the veil, Xiao Cui continued.

"Why is there blood on this veil?" Mu Zijing took the veil from Xiao Cui's hand, looked at Xiao Cui suspiciously, and the anger on her face dissipated a lot.

"This handkerchief was picked up by the servant outside the second lady's courtyard this morning." Xiao Cui whispered.

"Second Aunt?" Mu Zijing's eyes flickered slightly, and she looked at Xiao Cui again, "Is it because of this handkerchief that Eldest Sister is looking for you?"

"Exactly." Xiao Cui lowered her eyes, "After the servant picked up this handkerchief, I didn't know it belonged to the eldest lady. I thought it belonged to the second lady's courtyard, and was thinking of handing it over to the third lady. Going up to the servant, she said that the eldest lady wanted to see the servant, but the servant did not want to go, after all, the servant is from the courtyard of the third lady, even if the eldest lady summoned her, she had to report to the third lady first, but Yun Xiang only said that she had already returned to the third lady , and took the slaves away."

Mu Zijing stared at the veil and became more and more strange, "Then... how did the elder sister say it?"

"The eldest lady only asked the servant to hand over the veil, and then let the servant go back. The servant only said that she didn't know and had never seen the veil. The eldest lady was annoyed, and then the third lady came." Xiaocui raised her eyes and looked at Mu Zijing said in a straightforward manner, it sounded logical, but it was true.

The first-class girl next to Mu Zijing's eyes moved slightly, and she leaned forward, "Miss San, there may be something wrong with this veil. Missy is so nervous, she must be suspicious."

"Then?" Mu Zijing looked at Xiao Cui coldly, "Just kneel in the courtyard."

"Miss San, servant girl..." Xiao Cui looked up at Mu Zijing aggrievedly, with an expression on her face that this matter had nothing to do with her.

Mu Zijing's eyes were cold, "If I don't punish you, Eldest Sister will definitely become suspicious. If you still want to save your life, then go kneel."

"Yes, I'll go now, servant girl." Xiaocui quickly bowed her head, got up slowly, and reluctantly went out of the house and knelt in the courtyard. It was now noon and the sun was scorching. It was blushing from the sun.

Seeing Xiaocui leave, Shuang'er said tactfully, "Madam must decide this matter."

"I'll go there myself." Mu Zijing said worriedly.

"Miss will definitely send someone over, this veil..." Shuang'er whispered, "Miss San, hurry up."

"En." Mu Zijing didn't think about it, and hurried to the third wife Cui's yard.

Cui Shi also got the news of Xiao Cui's admission to Yan Luoyuan, so she sent Mu Zijing there. Now that Mu Zijing came back, she asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

"Mother, Xiao Cui picked up this square handkerchief outside the second aunt's yard this morning. The eldest sister called Xiao Cui to get this square handkerchief back." Mu Zijing stepped forward and took the handkerchief in her hand. Pass it to Cui Shi.

Cui Shi took a look at her, and looked at her suspiciously, "This is it?"

"This is eldest sister's veil." Mu Zijing continued, "But why is this veil stained with blood and left outside Second Aunt's courtyard?"

Sister Lin watched from the side, and naturally understood what happened last night, she hurriedly stepped forward to look at Mu Zijing, "Third Miss, return this square handkerchief to the Eldest Miss."

"Why?" Mu Zijing also respected Nanny Lin. She was young, and thanks to Nanny Lin's reminder, she also listened carefully to Nanny Lin's words.

Hearing what Mu Zijing said, Cui naturally knew the reason. It might have something to do with what happened to Chunxi last night. I heard that Chunxi disappeared today. It seems that something happened. Maybe... Cui's eyes darkened when she thought about it , and no longer speak.

Nanny Lin said in a low voice, "Miss San, just pretend not to know, and punished Xiaocui to kneel in the courtyard for three hours, and now I personally return this handkerchief to the eldest lady, but it was the shallow-skinned servant who picked up the old lady. It's just a lady's handkerchief."

Mu Zi was puzzled, only felt that this square handkerchief must be strange, but she looked at Cui's eyes, and then at Lin Nanny, she has her own thoughts at a young age, and she still doesn't know why. wonderful.

So she nodded obediently, "Mom, I'll go now."

"Jing'er is the most intelligent and sensible." Cui caressed her pink cheeks in comfort, smiling lovingly.

Mu Zijing took the handkerchief and left Cui Shi's room. After she left, Cui Shi sneered, "It's really a ten-year-old child, to be so impatient."

"Miss has never experienced this before, she is naturally frightened, it's normal for her to be confused." Nanny Lin didn't take Mu Ziyan seriously, so she replied in a low voice.

"That's true." Cui naturally thought the same way, a ten-year-old child, and was spoiled by Qiao's daily, so it's normal to be so nervous.

Mu Zijing returned to the courtyard, Dang even punished Xiaocui to kneel in the courtyard for three hours, then went to Yanluo courtyard in person, and returned the handkerchief to Mu Ziyan.

Mu Ziyan was naturally happy to take the veil, but when she raised her eyes to look at Mu Zijing, she said in a deep voice, "Third sister doesn't know, this veil was given to me by my mother, and it disappeared yesterday. , I searched for it all night, but I didn't expect it to be in Xiaocui's hands, so I called her here early in the morning, but this slave actually said that he didn't know, it really is short-sighted."

As soon as Mu Zijing heard this, she remembered that she had followed a hairpin of Mu Ziyan's. Hearing Mu Ziyan's words, she only felt that every word was thorny, and she felt very uncomfortable, but there was still a smile on her face. "What the elder sister said is that the younger sister has already punished that servant."
