Distressed wife

Chapter 173 The Death of Zhong Hui (4)
Mu Lingxuan stood on a tall building not far away, looking at the burned place in the distance, his eyes flashed coldly, he turned and left.

When Yun Xiang came to report, Biyun's eyes flashed with astonishment, and then she looked at Mu Ziyan adoringly, "Miss, you are really good at predicting things."

Mu Ziyan said in a low voice, "It's just a casual remark."

Yun Xiang lowered her eyes, "Miss, the Zhong family has suffered a heavy loss."

"The death of Mrs. Zhonghou is nothing." Mu Ziyan said coldly, "The most difficult person for the Zhong family to deal with is someone else."

"But Miss Zhong Er?" Rue Xiang asked cautiously.

"En." This is Mu Ziyan's serious trouble, and it is the enemy she wants to destroy.

In less than a day, news spread that Miss Zhong's family and Mrs. Zhong Hou were burned to death together. After Zhang Zong's investigation, the result he got was that the fire was not an accident, but man-made, and the person who set the fire It is Miss Zhong's family.

The Zhong family knew it well, but if Zhang Zong were to report it like this, where should the Zhong family stand?
After Zhong Xian learned of the death of his mother and sister, he hurriedly asked for leave and hurried back to Zhonghou's mansion. When he saw the two charred corpses lying in the coffin, even if they were dead, they could not be separated and were tightly glued together. Together, Zhong Xian was very sad.

Lord Zhong Hou looked at Zhong Xian, "The carriage caught fire was an accident."

"Son understands." Zhong Xian knew the truth was not like this, but now, for the sake of the Zhong family, he had to agree.

Zhong Xuan stepped forward and stood in front of Zhong Xian, "My sister has met my brother."

Zhong Xian turned his eyes and just glanced at Zhong Xuan indifferently, and then looked at Lord Zhong Hou, "Father, Mr. Zhang will not let go easily."

Master Zhong Hou nodded and said, "If the coffin is closed at this time, where will your mother and your sister be? Where will the Zhong family be? Your aunt will not have a good time in the palace. "

Zhong Xian was a little embarrassed, but now he couldn't think of a better way.

At this moment, Zhong Xuan said in a low voice, "Brother, my sister has an idea, I wonder if my brother would like to hear it?"

Zhong Xian looked directly at Zhong Xuan in front of him, if it wasn't for the last time Concubine Hui visited her relatives and brought her back, he should have forgotten that he had a concubine younger sister, he knew that his father would never use useless people, and he could value her Zhong Xuan, this woman must have something special.

Zhong Xian never liked to get involved in the affairs of the Zhong family, but because he was the eldest son of the Zhong family, he had to face many things, just like this time, even though he knew it well, he still had to face it. Can't help but cover up.

"My younger sister remembers that there is a master autopsy beside Mr. Zhang, and she is also a woman. She has a very close relationship with Mr. Zhang, and Miss Mu is familiar with her. If you can ask Miss Mu to intercede, it may be of some use." Zhong Xuan looked at Zhong Xian and said in a low voice.

"Even so, the eldest sister has been abandoned by the Muhou Mansion, so how can she help the Zhong family?" Zhong Xian couldn't help but find it ridiculous.

Zhong Xuan continued, "Elder Sister is indeed divorced, but if Eldest Sister's reputation is ruined, the Muhou Mansion will also be involved. My sister thinks, the Muhou Mansion will not bear such a vicious reputation."

"If that's the case, then Miss Mu went to intercede. According to Zhang Zong's temperament, I'm afraid she would not agree." Zhong Xian knew Zhang Zong's character too well, so he felt that this was inappropriate.

"If you don't try, how do you know it won't work?" Zhong Xuan looked at Zhong Xian, "Although the Zhong family and the Mu family have not broken their faces, there has already been a crack. If the eldest brother can mend the crack, then Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Only then did Zhong Xian understand Zhong Xuan's words, his eyes sank, and he looked at her coldly, "It's true that you have learned female virtues since you were a child in Zhuangzi, and even if you haven't, you should learn to stay in the mansion these days What is etiquette, righteousness and shame, you can say such filthy words, how can my Zhong family have such a shameless person like you?"

Zhong Xuan didn't expect Zhong Xian's reaction to be so strong, she was a little stunned, and looked at Zhong Xian rather puzzled, "My sister just mentioned it casually, why is elder brother so excited?"

"Hmph." Zhong Xian was already holding his breath in his heart. The face of the Zhong family is important, but he also has his own temper. Could it be that because of this mere face, it is not possible for him to go to curry favor with Mu Ziyan?If so, wouldn't Mu Ziyan and him be underestimated together?

He threw up his sleeves angrily and left, leaving only Zhong Houye and Zhong Xuan standing on the spot.

Seeing Zhong Xian like this, Zhong Xuan became more and more sure of one thing. It seemed that Zhong Xian might also like Mu Ziyan in his heart. If so, it would be even better. Even dragging the Duke's Mansion over here would be more effective for her big plan, and it just stopped Leng Hanfeng's thoughts.

She raised her eyes to look at Lord Zhonghou who was frowning, "Father, what my daughter said is not unreasonable. I think you are the most clear about the pros and cons of it."

Master Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's just that the Zhong family and the old lady have secretly formed an alliance. If they suddenly conspired with Mu Qingyuan now, how should the old lady explain it? If she spread the matter to the ears of the queen mother, wouldn't it be two ends?" Lost?"

Zhong Xuan went on to say, "Of course we will continue with the old lady, but it is inevitable that we will have to adapt a bit. We know that this matter also needs to be chosen by both parties. Which side is more beneficial, which side should we stand on?"

"Just looking at Xian'er's temper, I don't want to." Zhong Hou said in a low voice.

"If the emperor makes a decree, why should we be in a dilemma?" Zhong Xuan said with a smile.

"How can I forget that there is Concubine Hui." Zhong Hou suddenly said, raising his eyes to look at Zhong Xuan, with a rare fatherly smile, "Xuan'er is still clever."

"However, this is something for another time. The most urgent thing now is to solve Zhang Zong." Zhong Xuan said in a low voice, "I'm afraid this person will be extremely difficult to shake. Since my brother doesn't want to come forward, we can only..."

Seeing the murderous intent in Zhong Xuan's eyes, Master Zhong Hou said, "At this juncture, wouldn't it be too obvious to attack him?"

"There is no evidence, even if the emperor doubts, it is only temporary. Could it be that the emperor will attack his father because of a mere Jing Zhaoyin?" Zhong Xuan said disapprovingly.

Lord Zhong Hou looked at Zhong Xuan, nodded and said, "That's the case, then I'll let you handle this matter."
