Distressed wife

Chapter 174 The Death of Zhong Hui (5)
"Father, don't worry, my daughter will take care of it." Zhong Xuan replied with a smile.

Only then did Master Zhong feel relieved, "There will be a palace banquet the day after tomorrow, so it is inconvenient for me to go, so you can enter the palace with your third younger sister."

"Yes." Zhong Xuan replied in a low voice, without any joy, as if she had already expected this.

Seeing her calmness, Lord Zhong became more and more sure that his decision to bring her back was right.

Mu Ziyan was sitting on the square couch at the moment, and after hearing Yun Xiang's report, she was silent for a moment, "You ask Yin to secretly protect Zhang Zong."

"Miss, there are yamen servants beside Mr. Zhang, so nothing will happen." Biyun didn't know why Miss would suddenly send someone to protect Mr. Zhang.

Mu Ziyan shook her head and said, "The Zhong family absolutely does not allow the truth that Zhang Zong has found to be reported to the court. If the emperor finds out about the death of Zhong Hui and Mrs. Zhong Hou, the Zhong family will be in a catastrophe."

"Then the Zhong family will definitely shut up Mr. Zhang." Biyun said it very straightforwardly.

Mu Ziyan responded with a smile, "Of course."

"However, miss, Aunt Li's death has not yet been determined. Now that the young mistress is dead, and Mrs. Zhonghou's death is involved, the Muhou mansion will not be involved, right?" Lord Hou was very ostentatious, as if everything was inextricably related to the Muhou Mansion.

Seeing that Biyun was able to think of this, Mu Ziyan couldn't help laughing, "You've improved even more now."

Biyun smiled brightly, "Miss, this is also your tune. You taught me well."

Mu Ziyan said with a low smile, "The Zhong family didn't dare to publicize this matter, so the Muhou Mansion will definitely not be involved, and the matter of Aunt Li is coming to an end soon."

"Miss, the second madam hasn't done anything these few days." Biyun became more and more confused.

Mu Ziyan continued, "Ruxiang, tell me."

"Second Madam didn't do anything, but Madam Lu sent a letter to Mu Ziyue today." Yun Xiang said in a low voice, "Mu Ziyue left the city after receiving the letter."

"What are you doing out of town?" Biyun asked curiously.

"Meet people." Yunxiang replied slowly.

Biyun was unavoidably irritable, and said impatiently, "Don't be a fool."

Rue Xiang smiled softly, "You're still so short-tempered."

"You are slow." Biyun retorted unconvinced.

Yun Xiang smiled faintly, "That man is Lord Leng."

"Master Leng?" Biyun's eyes flashed with surprise, "Nurse Lu met Master Leng?"

"It's not Nanny Lu, but Second Madam." Yun Xiang corrected.

"What's the calculation in this?" Bi Yun felt that his brain was really not enough.

"And there is a woman standing beside Mr. Leng, and that person is Miss Zhong Er." Yun Xiang continued.

"Second Miss Zhong and the Second Madam are colluding secretly?" Biyun said in surprise.

"Those things must have been done by Miss Zhong Er." Yun Xiang felt that the second lady would not have such a precise plan, but to be able to do this, she must be a person who is good at calculating. Obviously, Zhong Xuan is like this.

Mu Ziyan replied in agreement, "Ruxiang is right."

"Miss, you have no grievances with Miss Zhong Er, why did she plot against you?" Bi Yun asked in bewilderment.

"Everything that can be planned together is for the same benefit." Mu Ziyan opened her lips lightly, "What does Second Aunt want?"

"I don't know." Biyun shook his head and said.

"A person who is standing on a high place suddenly falls down and will be smashed to pieces, but she is still unwilling to fall, and will definitely find ways to climb up again." Mu Ziyan said slowly.

Biyun listened carefully, and after pondering over and over again, she raised her eyes to look at Mu Ziyan, "You mean the second lady wants to seize power?"

"No, she just wants to get back what she deserves." Mu Ziyan smiled lightly, "Get back her former dignity."

"Dignity?" Biyun also found it ridiculous, "Second Madam still wants to be the mistress of the Marquis Mansion?"

Seeing that Biyun had finally said the important point, Mu Ziyan raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "That's right."

"Ah?" Biyun quickly covered her mouth, and looked at Mu Ziyan in disbelief.

"Second Madam is bound to be a little whimsical." Bi Yun felt that this was really ridiculous, not to mention Second Madam's current status, Second Master has become a useless person, how could the Emperor let a useless person be a Marquis?
"Some people, once they fall into the demon barrier, they will be obsessed with obsession. She went crazy once, but she was able to wake up within a certain time. There must be someone helping secretly. It's just that I didn't expect that in Muhou's mansion, Zhong Xuan could still get in. " Mu Ziyan narrowed her eyes, "This Muhou Mansion is indeed beyond the control of the big house."

"Miss, this servant only thinks that if the second room and the third room are separated, they will make noise whatever they want, and it has nothing to do with the Muhou Mansion." Yun Xiang interrupted unavoidably.

Mu Ziyan said with a low smile, "Separation? Why is it so easy? You think I don't want to, but it's a pity that there is a big Buddha like the old lady, so it's impossible for the second and third households to separate."

Biyun was puzzled, "Miss, what exactly does the old madam want? Master Hou treats her..."

Mu Ziyan smiled lowly, "What did Mu Ziyue do after seeing Leng Hanfeng and Zhong Xuan?"

"She went back, but Master Leng and Miss Zhong Er left together." Yun Xiang continued, "As for what they talked about, because they were too far away, I didn't hear it."

Mu Ziyan knew that Leng Hanfeng was the most cautious, and there was another Zhong Xuan, the two of them joined forces, it was really difficult to deal with.

"Where is Nanny Lu?" Mu Ziyan continued to ask.

"Nurse Lu didn't make any movement here, but there was something different about Miss Fourth." Yun Xiang continued, "Miss Fourth secretly went to Mrs. Third's yard."

"What is she going there for?" Mu Ziyan asked coldly.

"Looks like she's looking for something." Rue Xiang didn't know what she was looking for.

Mu Ziyan was silent for a moment, there was a conflict between Mu Zilan and Zhang's after all, otherwise, Mu Zilan would not have gone to Cui's yard late at night.

It seems that she really underestimated the fourth sister, she smiled slightly, "After the palace banquet, it's time to close the net."

"Miss, the old lady will not bring the fourth lady to this palace banquet, will she?" Biyun said in a low voice.

Mu Ziyan pondered for a moment, "No, the old lady attaches great importance to the difference between concubine and concubine, she will definitely not bring a concubine daughter there."

"Then who will the old lady bring?" Biyun only felt that the old lady would definitely not go with the eldest lady.

Mu Ziyan was silent for a long time, then said in a low voice, "I think the second sister is coming back."

"Second Miss?" Bi Yun asked in surprise, "The old lady knows that Second Lady is plotting against her, so why did she bring Second Miss with her?"

"The second younger sister today is not the second younger sister who was at the mercy of the second aunt. While the second aunt was thinking about how to plot against the old lady, the old lady had already cultivated chess pieces to deal with the second aunt." Mu Ziyan said every time. She is not idle every day, and keeps track of the movements of everyone in the house at any time. She knows the old lady's temperament well, and she will definitely use it thoroughly if she can use it.

At the beginning, Mu Zixi and Mu Zijing were sent to the family temple for the purpose of training their xinxing. Later, Zhang shi and Cui shi had accidents one after another. For children of this age, after being hit one after another, their xinxing was damaged. It is easier to adjust.When teaching, the woman who was bribed was the nanny sent by the old lady to teach the two.

Although Mu Zixi and Mu Zijing have only stayed in the family temple for a month, they have been reborn and become another person.

Although Mu Ziyan didn't see it with her own eyes, she could imagine that when Mu Zixi and Mu Zijing appeared in front of her again, it would be quite wonderful.

However, the old lady does not intend to release Mu Zijing now, but to release Mu Zixi back first, so as to contain her and the second lady, and the old lady can better start her plan again.

However, the old lady underestimated her ability too much, thinking that a mere Mu Zixi could restrain her, this time she will definitely let Mu Zixi come and go.

What Mu Ziyan expected was right, the old lady had originally planned to do so, but now she has slightly changed her plan.

In the Changsong Courtyard, the old lady was sitting on the square couch, her eyes were slightly closed, and she was holding a Buddhist bead in her hands. She was looking at Mu Zilan who was kneeling on the ground. , she said, "You killed Aunt Li?"

When the old lady called her, Mu Zilan already knew that she might not be able to hide this matter, and she was even more aware that the one who could save her now was the old lady, so she responded calmly, "Back to the old lady. The person is the granddaughter."

"In that case, do you know what the consequences will be?" the old lady asked in a deep voice.

"I'm going to die, but my granddaughter doesn't want to die, so she begged the old lady to show me the way." Mu Zilan prostrated herself on the ground, begging in a low voice.

"Ming Lu?" The old lady sneered, "Now you are kneeling here, isn't it Ming Lu?"

"Granddaughter, thank you Madam." Mu Zilan said quickly with a look of joy on her face, "Granddaughter will definitely repay Madam."

"It's good that you understand." The old lady waved her hand, "No matter what other people ask, you don't know."

"Yes." Mu Ziyan replied respectfully, and then she exited Changsong Courtyard, and she was relieved immediately. She had been in a state of anxiety for the past few days, for fear that Mu Ziyan would find out something, so she shook the ground. It's over, but now she is not worried, she is very clear that the old lady has the final say in this Muhou Mansion.

"Miss, why does the old lady want to see Miss Si?" Bi Yun hurried back to report to Mu Ziyan after getting the news, and asked inexplicably.
