Distressed wife

Chapter 55

The magpie entered the inner room cautiously at this time, "Old Madam, Master Hou asked Second Master to go to the front yard."

"Mother, my son still hopes that you will come forward in person in this matter, otherwise, the eldest brother will definitely be angry, and I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to get along with him in the future." Mu Qingran is very clear about Mu Qingyuan's temperament, if it is not for the old lady's sake , how could the second and third bedrooms be so presumptuous in the Hou Mansion?

Mu Qingran felt more and more that his actions just now were a bit weird. He usually restrained himself very well, and never showed the slightest emotion. How could he not be able to hold back at that moment, and even pointed his sword at Mu Ziyan? If this matter spreads out, if the Holy Majesty finds out about it, then he will really ruin his future.

Thinking of this, Mu Qingran blamed everything on Zhang Shi. If it wasn't for her being unfavorable, he wouldn't have to suffer such humiliation now.

The old lady narrowed her eyes slightly, and after a moment of silence, she said coldly, "Let me go."

"My son, thank you mother." Mu Qingran was naturally respectful to the old lady, and he knew that if he wanted to get the position of Lord Marquis, he could only rely on the old lady.

When Yan fell into the courtyard, Mu Ziyan leaned on the soft couch and stayed up all night, with a tired expression on her face. Her slender fingers gently rubbed the center of her brows, her cherry lips slightly pursed, "Ru Xiang, let Xiao Cui lighten the fire."

"Yes." Rue Xiang replied clearly, then bowed her head and left the room.

Bi Yun stepped forward, "Miss, Master Hou is in the flower hall in the front yard, the old lady has already gone, do you want to go and have a look?"

"It's not the time yet." Mu Ziyan slowly relaxed her body, her expression was a little lazy, there was a hint of anger between her brows, and she half-closed her eyes, "It's so easy for you to be the second wife?"

"Your maidservant is just angry." Bi Yun thought of the thrilling adventure last night, and now she is still terrified. If the young lady is not astute, it is the young lady who is being tricked now, and even the wife may not be spared.

"Not angry?" Mu Ziyan smiled lightly, "Why not angry, you will have to pay back what you owe me sooner or later."

"Miss, can't it be okay to let them bully you?" Compared to Rue Xiang, Biyun was a little less calm, but now seeing that the eldest lady is not even half angry, her temper is unavoidably a little irritable.

Mu Ziyan sneered, "Bullying? She's trying to bully someone?"

"Hmph, that depends on whether the servant will agree or not." Biyun said boldly following Mu Ziyan's words.

Mu Ziyan said with a low smile, "With your sharp mouth, she must not dare."

Biyun was teased by Mu Ziyan, and quickly lowered her eyes and blushed and said, "Miss, don't make fun of your servants, but I'm afraid there's a lot of noise going on outside, why are you staying inside?"

Mu Ziyan shook her head and said, "There is a purpose."

"Slave is stupid." Biyun was really puzzled, only felt that the eldest lady today was more difficult to figure out than she used to be.

Mu Ziyan didn't explain much, just closed her eyes and took a nap again.

Seeing her like this, Biyun didn't dare to say anything, and stood aside with downcast eyes.

In the hall, Mu Qingyuan sat upright on the main seat. When he saw the old lady being helped into the room, Mu Qingyuan slowly got up and went forward, "Old lady."

"Hey, time is not forgiving. Now that your body is not as good as before, it is inevitable that you will have a headache, and it may not be good. It is you who are so worried when you come back." The old lady let Mu Qingyuan support her slowly. Sitting down, he looked at Mu Qingyuan with concern.

Mu Qingyuan just nodded slightly, and his tone was still low and steady, "Don't say that, old lady. I went to Lizhou this time and visited Ping Laohou in person. Pinghou also asked me to say hello to old lady. .”

The kindness on the old lady's face froze when she heard "Old Lady Pinghou", and a sharp look flashed across her eyes.

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Cui stood aside and did not dare to make a sound, while Mu Qingran obediently sat in the lower seat of the old lady. After hearing what Mu Qingyuan said, his face darkened slightly.

Speaking of which, the Pinghou Mansion is also one of the top ten aristocratic families, but all the people from the Pinghou Mansion in the past are civil servants, and they all have stubborn ideas of death. Over time, the Pinghou Mansion declined. The family moved to Lizhou, and it can be regarded as the only aristocratic family far away from the imperial court in the capital.

Pinghou old lady is the old lady's direct sister, the two have a very good relationship since they were young, and for some reason, the two of them got into a quarrel, so it is obvious that Pinghou old lady is mentioned in front of the old lady. It's not fun for the old lady.

"Master Hou has a heart." The old lady replied calmly, but the corner of her mouth twitched obviously, obviously suppressing her anger.

Mrs. Qiao sat in the lower seat of Mu Qingyuan, and Nanny Cui waited on her carefully. She saw that Mrs. Qiao's complexion was pale, but her eyes were looking directly at Mrs. Zhang standing behind Mu Qingran.

Mrs. Zhang kept silent, and it was difficult to speak now, but she was only thinking about how to offend her later.

Cui raised her eyes and glanced at the old lady, just in time to meet Qiao's cold eyes, she quickly lowered her eyes, feeling guilty.

Mu Qingyuan saw Cui Shi's expression clearly, raised his eyes to look at the old lady, and said in a deep voice, "The old lady came here because of what happened last night?"

"Your second brother told me about what happened last night. I didn't expect him to do such a stupid thing. Is Yan girl okay?" The old lady turned her eyes and glared at Mu Qingran, with a look of hatred When he turned his eyes and mentioned Mu Ziyan, his eyes were filled with worry again.

Qiao Shi sneered in her heart as she listened to it, and felt more and more upset. She really is a mature person, and the ability to open her eyes and tell nonsense is really easy to come by.

Seeing that Mrs. Qiao's complexion became more and more ugly, Madam Cui hurriedly took the thin blanket from the girl behind her and carefully covered her lap, protecting her swollen belly.

Only then did Mrs. Qiao breathe a sigh of relief. Now that she is a twin, she naturally lacked some complicated etiquette. She just nodded slightly at the old lady and said in a low voice, "Excuse my daughter-in-law for talking too much, since the old lady heard what the second uncle said What happened, how should Madam Yi deal with this matter?"

Mu Qingyuan turned his eyes and gave Qiao Shi a reassuring look, and then slowly met the old lady's pensive eyes.

Seeing that Qiao's tone was so unkind, the old lady didn't even give her the superficial respect she had before. The old lady's eyes turned cold, but she couldn't get angry at this moment.

"Still kneeling!" The old lady turned her eyes and glared at Mu Qingran and said in a deep voice.

"Brother, it's my fault. I didn't dare to lose my mind and almost hurt Yan girl." Mu Qingran quickly got up from the chair, knelt down in front of everyone, and admitted his mistake in a low voice.

"The method of becoming a monk." The old lady sternly said, "Young girl Yan is still young, and she hurt Zhang Shi in a moment of anger. , today I will beat you to death, to vent my anger on Yan girl."
