Distressed wife

Chapter 18 Seeing Red
Nurse Cong cleverly held the box and handed it to Mu Ziyan, and then retreated beside the old lady.

Mu Ziyan also took it and smiled brightly, "Thank you, grandma."

"Well, it's getting more and more painful." The old lady was full of joy when she saw Mu Ziyan holding the gift from her, and she also nodded in satisfaction.

Qiao's face also had a look of joy, but she was a little uneasy, thinking that something big was going to happen today.

"Young girl Xi's complexion doesn't look very good, but her body is not feeling well?" Madam frowned when she saw Mu Zixi's frail body, which seemed to fall down when the wind blows.

"Grandmother..." Mu Zixi whispered softly, her eyes were filled with tears, her complexion became paler, she stepped forward slowly, and snuggled into the old lady's arms.

The old lady's eyes became more and more fond, and she touched her hair distressedly, "Look, why is this little face getting thinner again?"

"Xi'er has her grandmother reading it, so her body is naturally better, but for some reason these few days, she has nightmares every night and can't sleep well." Mu Zixi leaned more and more limply in the old lady's arms as she spoke.

The old lady frowned, "Why?"

The second wife, Zhang Shi, sighed at this moment, and said worriedly, "It's just that this girl has such a poor fortune. If it wasn't for the old lady who loves her all these years, I'm afraid it would be early in the morning..."

"What are you talking about?" The old lady interrupted Zhang's words sharply, touched Mu Zixi's thin cheek with downcast eyes, and said distressedly, "Xi girl is obedient, and her appearance is even more outstanding, she is a blessing at first sight." Thick."

"What the old lady said is that the daughter-in-law is too worried." Mrs. Zhang quickly admitted her mistake, but when she looked at Mu Zixi, she was full of love.

Mu Ziyan looked down at the side, looking at the nose and the heart, but there was a hint of sarcasm in the lowered eyes. This second aunt is an expert in acting, and she is a loving mother in front of outsiders.

"When was it bad?" The old lady raised her hand and hugged Mu Zixi into her arms, and asked with concern.

"This..." Mu Zixi hesitated to speak, but did not forget to take a careful look at Mu Ziyan, then lowered her head and buried it in the old lady's arms.

Seeing her like this, the old lady's complexion sank, and she raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Zhang, "Say it."

"It's also strange that Xi'er's body is too delicate. She has been like this since she met a snake in the garden a few days ago." After Zhang said, she did not forget to look at Qiao who was sitting opposite.

Obviously, Zhang's words meant something.

Qiao snorted coldly, only felt that this Zhang was too shameless, he schemed against her precious daughter, and now he is biting back.

She suppressed the anger in her heart, showed surprise on her face, and looked at Mu Ziyan worriedly, "Yan'er, you were bitten by that snake that day to save girl Xi, why do you feel uncomfortable these few days?"

"I don't feel any discomfort, mother, my daughter is in good health, and a mere snake can't do anything to her." Mu Ziyan quickly raised her eyes, and replied with a bright smile, "It's the second younger sister, after fainting from fright that day, she Being bedridden makes my daughter worry a lot."

It sounded like a joke, but Mrs. Zhang felt something was wrong, and took a meaningful look at Mu Ziyan, wondering when did this girl become so tricky, and she even insinuated that Xi'er was too delicate.

Mu Zixi looked at Mu Ziyan tearfully, and quickly got up and bowed towards Mu Ziyan, "Could it be Eldest Sister that day, younger sister might be... Sister, thank you Eldest Sister for saving her life."

Mu Ziyan smiled brightly, "Second Sister and I are deeply in love with each other, if it was Second Sister at that time, she would definitely protect me."

Mu Zixi quickly responded, "Of course, it's only because my younger sister is in poor health, and my eldest sister has been hurt."

Seeing her self-reproaching expression, Mu Ziyan sneered inwardly. Is this expressing gratitude or sympathy?
"Second sister has always been in poor health, she should rest well, the incident of that day is over, if you bring it up again, it will seem out of place." Mu Ziyan said modestly, not forgetting to support Mu Zixi's crumbling body .

"What Eldest Sister said is true." Mu Zixi didn't say much anymore, but her delicate body couldn't stop trembling.

Seeing Mu Ziyan's love and concern for Mu Zixi, the old lady narrowed her eyes slightly, and a faint light flashed, "Xi girl, what's wrong?"

"Second Miss's body is really fragile." The third lady said suddenly, "Jing'er, hurry up and support her."

"The second sister is pampered by her grandmother, and the eldest sister is in pain, so how can she have a daughter to support her?" Mu Zijing smiled coquettishly, with a slight grievance in her eyes.

"You girl...that sounds sour." The old lady said angrily when she heard Mu Zijing's tasteful words.

Mu Zijing pursed her lips and said, "Second sister has a grandmother who loves her, so it's a blessing, Jing'er can only enjoy herself from the sidelines."

"You Poor Monkey, I haven't seen you for a few days, and your mouth is getting more and more unforgiving." The old lady gave Cong Nanny a look as she spoke.

Taking the hint from Mammy, she quickly took a box and handed it to Mu Zijing, "Miss San is thinking that Madam can love her more."

Mu Zijing won the reward, but she still pouted, "Grandmother, Jing'er wants you to love me too."

As he spoke, he eagerly stepped forward and threw himself into the arms of the old lady, rubbing his delicate and soft body back and forth, acting coquettishly.

The old lady raised her hand to pinch Mu Zijing's tender cheeks, "Look, she's really getting naughty."

Mu Zijing also let the old lady pinch her, turned her eyes to look at Mu Zixi, and said in a low voice, "Second sister, don't be angry."

Mu Zixi showed a soft smile, "Where is the third sister, grandma has always loved the third sister the most."

"Okay, you girl is not in good health, don't stand still." Seeing that Mu Ziyan was holding Mu Zixi's hand, the old lady did not leave.

Mu Zixi smiled slightly, and then sat on the other side of the old lady, with Mu Zijing on the left and right, snuggling in the old lady's arms.

On the contrary, Mu Ziyan seemed lonely.

Mu Ziyan didn't take it seriously, but quietly retreated to her seat and sat down, just smiling lightly.

"You girl..." The old lady caressed Mu Zixi's sickly cheek with downcast eyes, her heart ached.

"Look at Second Miss, did she provoke something unclean?" Third Madam Cui asked again.
