Distressed wife

Chapter 178 Zhang's Crazy (4)
Why does Mu Ziyan have everything?She has a status and identity, and has parents and elder brothers who love her, but she is lonely and helpless. She does not love her if she has a mother, and does not love her if she has a father. Even her own elder brother treats her indifferently.

They are selfish, why should she take care of them?

She remembered going to Zhang Shi's place just now, Zhang Shi watched her come back, and didn't even say a word of concern, but just asked her to behave well at the palace banquet and think more about the situation of the second wife.

Mu Zixi sneered secretly, so what if she thought about it more?Should she be thrown into the family temple again?

No, she will never go back, even if she dies, she doesn't want to go to that cold place like hell again.

Therefore, now, all she can rely on is herself, and she doesn't trust anyone.

"En." Mu Zixi replied lightly, looking up at the courtyard in front of her, it was much colder than usual, there were only six girls and women left in the courtyard.

She secretly suppressed the resentment in her heart, and walked into the room. After entering the inner room, she looked at the soft couch in front of her, and thought of the hard bed board of the family temple, and her heart felt a pang of sorrow.

"Second Miss, Fourth Miss is here." Mu Zixi was undressing and coming out of the shower when she heard Cailian report.

"Ask her to come in." Mu Zixi said lightly.

"Yes." Cailian replied.

After a while, she saw Mu Zilan walking in. She knew that even though Mu Zixi's courtyard was much colder now, it was still magnificent. Compared with her simple and remote courtyard, it was really a place in the sky. , one underground.

A hint of jealousy flashed across her eyes, and with a faint smile on her lips, she stepped forward to Mu Zixi and saluted slightly.

"My younger sister met my second sister." Mu Zilan said in a low voice.

"Fourth sister, please sit down." Mu Zixi's voice was faintly weak, and when she raised her eyes to look at Mu Zilan, she also had a bit of pity.

"Thank you, Second Sister." Mu Zilan sat down obediently, "My sister came here just to say congratulations."

"What's my joy?" Mu Zixi sighed faintly.

"Second Sister's coming back this time must be the end of all hardships." Mu Zilan said with a smile, "If at a palace banquet tomorrow, Second Sister wins the eyes of the Empress Dowager and considers her a righteous granddaughter, wouldn't it be..."

Seeing what Mu Zilan said, Mu Zixi smiled slightly, "Then I will lend my sister a good word."

Why did Mu Zilan say this? It was the old lady who sent her the news that although the palace banquet was held for the sake of the twelve princes tomorrow, the Empress Dowager and Concubine Yun had always been at odds, and they intended to accept a benefactor during the banquet. Granddaughter, this is undoubtedly a slap in the face of Concubine Yun in public.

As for these open and secret fights in the harem, the emperor naturally turned a blind eye. As long as the disturbances were not too outrageous, he would not take care of them. What's more, it was the conflict between the empress dowager and his concubine. Since he can't make peace, he can only sit on the sidelines.

In this harem, there is a set of survival rules. If you respect me three points, I will respect you ten feet. For some people, the more humble you are to her, the more she will push forward.

And some people, the harder you treat her, the more she respects you.

Concubine Yun doesn't belong to either, she belongs to holding the emperor's heart firmly in her hands, as long as her favor persists, she can have a place in the harem, and this pillow wind is indispensable .

Therefore, in the harem, the most hateful thing is Concubine Yun, who has the means and can win the Sacred Heart, but can still make the emperor linger in her palace every day, and now she has given birth to twelve princes. There is no second in the limelight.

The Empress Dowager despises this kind of vixen the most, so she dislikes Concubine Yun in every possible way, coupled with the Empress Dowager's favoritism towards Concubine Hui, she becomes even more displeased with Concubine Yun, so she simply took advantage of this palace banquet to Recognize a goddaughter.

Mu Ziyan was more or less aware of the conflict between the Empress Dowager and Concubine Yun, and she even suspected that Concubine Yun's death had something to do with the Empress Dowager.

Concubine Hui is a member of the Zhong family. If the Zhong family is to survive, then Concubine Hui's position in the harem must be unbreakable. At that time, Concubine Yun was only the twelve princes, and she could compare with Concubine Hui.

It can be seen that even though Concubine Hui is mighty in the harem, just being childless is a fatal blow.

What's more, Concubine Yun has not only the Twelve Princes, but also her beauty and the ability to charm the Sacred Heart, while Concubine Hui, who has passed the age of youth and beauty, has indeed less than Concubine Yun.

Which woman in the harem is not walking on eggshells?Which one is not spent in loneliness and emptiness?

Concubine Hui is a very patient person. She spent ten years trying to curry favor with the Queen Mother, and let the Queen Mother rely on her. That's why she was able to become the head of the four concubines without any heirs. Has an unbreakable position in the harem.

However, such a position will eventually be shaken, and Concubine Yun is obviously a big threat to her.

Mu Ziyan pondered carefully, and had some calculations in her mind.

That night, Zhang Zong had just rested when he heard shouts from outside, Zhang Zong quickly turned over, and saw the flames outside the house, "the file room is flooded."

Zhang Zong was shocked, and rushed out in his outer robe, only to see that the file room in front of him had been engulfed by the fire, and he was powerless to recover.

He stood there trembling with anger, and was about to rush in, but was stopped by Mrs. Lu, "You don't want to die?"

"The dossier room has been destroyed, what do I want to do?" Zhang Zong roared loudly, then pushed Lady Lu away, and then rushed in.

Lady Lu stomped her feet angrily when she saw him like this, and was about to follow in when she saw Mu Lingxuan suddenly fall down, and then flew into the file room, and rushed out carrying Zhang Zong after a while.

Turning around to see that the family room was submerged in the fire, Lady Lu frowned, "The Zhonghou Mansion is too deceitful."

"He was choked by the smoke." Mu Lingxuan quickly laid Zhang Zong flat, and looked up at Mrs. Lu, "Let him wake up first, and then make a long-term plan."

"En." Lady Lu squatted halfway, and then patted Zhang Zong awake.

Zhang Zong coughed violently, and looked up at the yamen servant carrying water to put out the fire. After the fire was extinguished, all the files in the file room were burned.
