Distressed wife

Chapter 25
Zhang's hesitant words, on the surface, sounded like comforting Mu Ziyan, but in reality, she was avoiding the serious ones, implying that Mu Ziyan hurt Mu Zixi because of her dislike for the servants in Mu Zixi's house. In my heart, if something happened to Mu Zixi, it would be Mu Ziyan's fault.

Mu Ziyan naturally knew Zhang's plan, this second aunt would ruin her reputation no matter what.

"Second aunt's words are actually my fault." Mu Ziyan sneered, but at the age of ten years old, her back was straight and her eyes were sharp, and she was more imposing than the Zhang Shi in front of her.

Nanny followed Zhang Shi with her downcast eyes, also observing Mu Ziyan.

For a moment, the room was surrounded by the cold air exuding from Mu Ziyan's body. She knew that to deal with people like Zhang Shi, she must be better at pretending than her, and even more powerful. Let her not dare to act rashly.

Zhang Shi didn't expect Mu Ziyan to react so quickly, she immediately figured out the meaning of her words, she hurriedly said, "Miss, why did you say that, Xi'er is still unconscious, I'm really confused. "

"Second sister is still in a coma, so I'm really worried, why doesn't Second Aunt search?" Mu Ziyan looked at Zhang Shi, and turned the conversation back.

Zhang's gritted her teeth secretly, feeling a little resentful in her heart, she turned her eyes and gave Cong Mammy a wink, now it was Mu Zixi's yard, for the sake of fairness, she naturally asked the girl who smoked Mu Ziyan to search together, so Cong Mammy lit Rue Xiang, Qiao Lian, Cai Lian, and two women.

It was not good for Mrs. Zhang to stand alone in the courtyard, so she followed Mu Ziyan in the inner room.

Mu Ziyan stared at Mu Zixi without success, but Zhang Shi waited at the side with trepidation, fearing that Mu Zixi could not help but wake up and show his feet, and that all previous efforts would be wasted.

Mu Ziyan saw that Mu Zixi's face was pale, her body was thin and weak, and even she was unconscious like a picture of a beauty that I still feel pity for. A faint light flashed across her eyes inadvertently, she twisted the embroidered handkerchief to cover her lips and coughed a few times.

"Ah!" Mu Ziyan exclaimed suddenly, quickly got up and stood in front of Mu Zixi, gently wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Zhang Shi's heart went up and down following her actions, when she saw her get up suddenly and then stood beside Mu Zixi again, Zhang Shi followed closely, fearing that she would find out the clue.

When she saw that Mu Ziyan was just seeing tears in the corners of Mu Zixi's eyes, she carefully wiped them away, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss is really careful." Zhang said in a low voice.

Mu Ziyan put away the handkerchief, and sighed worriedly, "Second sister has been in poor health since she was a child, eh..."

Seeing Mu Ziyan suddenly staring at Mu Zixi and making a sound of surprise, Mrs. Zhang followed suit, and saw that the corners of Mu Zixi's eyes kept weeping, and she couldn't stop.

Mu Zi's smokey eyes showed surprise, "Second Sister is really wronged."

Mrs. Zhang was a little displeased when she heard it, what are you talking about?Could it be that she treats her daughter poorly?

"Now it looks like you really provoked something unclean, otherwise how could you not stop crying?" Mu Ziyan ignored Zhang's flickering expression and just stared at Mu Zixi.

Hearing what Mu Ziyan said, Mrs. Zhang looked sad, "I think this child really has a hard life, he was already weak, but now..."

Mu Ziyan sneered in her heart, this second aunt was very responsive, no matter what she said, second aunt could hold onto the words and mean something.

At this moment, a girl came in hastily, "Second Madam, back... the backyard..."

"Why are you in such a panic?" Seeing the little girl's face turning pale, Mrs. Zhang felt something was wrong in her heart, but she still calmed down and said in a low voice.

"Back... the backyard... the dead body." After saying that, the girl was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and trembled all over.

Mu Ziyan covered her mouth with an embroidered handkerchief in horror, "What? A dead body?"

"Exactly." This girl is also the rough envoy girl who has just been assigned to Yuexiyuan. She has never seen such a battle, especially when she saw the decomposed dead body. Drinking her, where does she have the strength to report?
"It's weird, how could there be dead bodies in the second sister's courtyard?" Mu Ziyan's eyes flickered, and she was obviously startled.

Zhang quickly stabilized her mind, turned her eyes to look at Mu Ziyan, seeing that her expression was normal, she suppressed the doubts in her heart, and said coldly, "Do you know who that dead body is?"

"This..." the little girl whispered, "I don't know."

"I'll go and have a look." After Zhang's words, she left the room first, ignoring Mu Ziyan.

Seeing Zhang's hurried back, Mu Ziyan sneered, turned her eyes to look at Mu Zixi who was lying on the bed and kept crying, and said softly, "Second sister is really pitiful, it's okay if she's unconscious. Forget it, it’s really an ominous sign to actually dig up a corpse from the backyard.”

Mu Zixi, who was lying on the bed, didn't respond in any way, but the tears dripped down her cheeks and onto the brocade pillow, spreading out.

Mu Ziyan walked out slowly, followed by Biyun. At this moment, the room became silent, and Chun Yu, who had just been kicked unconscious, woke up faintly, holding his heart and tremblingly lying on his stomach.

Then he saw Mu Zixi who was lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, tears streaming down his face, eyes full of horror.

"Second...Miss..." Chun Yu didn't dare to call out loudly, but just lay down beside the bed and called softly.

Mu Zixi turned her eyes to look at Chun Yu, tears kept spilling out, she couldn't control it at all, Mu Ziyan's just words lingered in her ears, she just felt that her whole body seemed to be wrapped in layers of cold air, and she couldn't stop shaking all over her body. Feeling cold... I just feel that Mu Ziyan has suddenly become very scary.

When Mrs. Zhang entered the backyard, Mammy Cong's face was also a little ugly, Ruexiang kept her head down, Qiaolian covered her lips with a handkerchief, and vomited again and again.

"Who is this?" Zhang stared at the rotten corpse, the clothes on her body were not Qiaoyun's, she felt relieved, and then stared at the corpse coldly.

"Back to Second Madam, it's Chun Xi." Rue Xiang at the side spoke proactively.

"Chun Xi?" Zhang's eyes flashed brightly when he heard it, but his expression remained condensed, "Why is she in Xi'er's courtyard?"

"This... I don't know." Rue Xiang was also surprised.

Mrs. Zhang was about to speak when she saw Mu Ziyan walking over, "Second Aunt, who is this dead body?"
