Chapter 103
Mu Yunge's eyes flickered slightly: "Where is she?"

Guanshi Xu said, "Just waiting at the door."

After hearing this, Mu Yunge became more puzzled.She looked at Pei Xin, who quickly trotted over and said in a low voice, "Miss, that's true. I heard that Xu Xuan died on the night of New Year's Eve. She had just had a miscarriage at that time, and she was so angry that she was deceived by Qin Changyi. , died... After she died, Chen Ma entrusted someone to bury her in the outskirts of the city, and went back to Jinling by herself, helping others everywhere. She probably came to the Mu family because she was desperate."

"Impossible." Mu Yunge shook his head: "Although Chen Ma is a servant, she actually knows how to measure. Xu Xuan did such a thing, she knew it well, if it wasn't for some conspiracy, she would definitely not return Mu Come home!"

Manager Xu asked tentatively, "Then the old slave is looking for a reason to send her away?"

"That's not necessary." Mu Yunge waved his hands and looked outside the room.She thought of the way Chen Ma looked at her on New Year's Eve, and of Chen Ma's sincerity to Xu Xuan, and she felt a sense of emotion.

Suddenly, something skipped in her mind, and she felt something.

Could it be... Behind Xu Xuan's death, is there something else she doesn't know?

As soon as he caught this point, Mu Yunge's heart beat violently.When it comes to Chen Ma's actions, everything suddenly becomes clear: Xu Xuan must have a knot in her heart, and this knot is in Mu's house, and she has to use Chen Ma's hand to complete it!

Mu Yunge sneered: "Go and keep her, and stay in the backyard to do odd jobs."

Manager Xu scratched his head strangely, hesitated to speak, seeing Mu Yunge's determined expression, he had no choice but to back out and answer Chen Ma.After a while, Chen Ma followed Guanshi Xu into Mu's house. Passing the main hall, she respectfully saluted Mu Yunge. Manager Xu went to make arrangements.

Mu Yunge had a panoramic view of her expression, and after she left, asked Peilian to find someone to keep an eye on her.

Not long after, Xiao Shi also heard about Mu Yunge's taking in Chen Ma, so he specially called her to the main courtyard and asked about what happened.

When she heard that Xu Xuan was dead, Xiao could not help but sigh.She didn't like Xu Xuan in the first place, and she didn't even like Chen Ma. After asking, she followed Mu Yunge's arrangements.

Coming out of the main courtyard, Mu Yunge thought about it, and went to Tang Linyi's courtyard.

Ever since he lied to Mu Yunge on New Year's Eve, Mu Yunge hasn't looked for him.Tang Linyi also seemed to know what Mu Yunge was thinking. If she didn't come, he would also abide by his husband's etiquette. He never took the initiative to ask about Mu Yunge, and only devoted himself to teaching Mu Jinran martial arts, as if the gap between the two had never been exist.

The yard was closed, and Mu Yunge knocked on the door, but there was no answer from inside.

She looked around and called out a few times in a low voice: "Master, are you inside?"

After asking several times like this, but no one answered, Mu Yunge thought for a while, then stretched out his hand and pushed the door open.The door was not closed, she pushed it open with a little effort.

The smell of medicine in the room has faded a lot, and the smell of blood is almost gone.Mu Yunge breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Master's injury has almost healed.

She looked around the room, Tang Linyi's life was very monotonous, studying, practicing martial arts, naturally there was nothing else in the room.However, she takes care of a lot on weekdays, it is monotonous but there is no shortage of things, especially books, which occupy a third of the entire room, and there are many books scattered on the desk.

Mu Yunge walked to the desk unconsciously, flipping through the scrolls on the desk.

She lowered her head to look, and what was spread out was a "National Policy". Tang Linyi read it carefully, and even annotated some places.She couldn't see the small cinnabar characters clearly, so she had to bend down to pick it up.

As soon as the "National Policy" was moved, the things pressed by the scroll were exposed.

It was an envelope, thin and I don't know what was written on it.Mu Yunge felt strange, and frowned slightly: What is so important that Master should cover it up so that no one can see it?
Actions precede thought, the head is still thinking, the hand has put down the "National Policy" and picked up the envelope.Open the envelope, but there is only a short piece of rice paper inside, with a few words written on it: "Something has changed, please reply quickly." Below the letter, there is a vivid black rose flower printed.

This picture seems to be seen somewhere, so familiar!
Mu Yunge pondered for a long time before remembering.When Aunt Luo joined forces with the Zhou family to plot against the Mu family, she begged Tang Linyi to take Mu Jinran away for a while. At that time, Tang Linyi gave her such a seal!
She put the letter back into the envelope and left everything as it was before leaving Tang Linyi's room.

As soon as he returned to the room, Mu Yunge immediately took out the seal and printed a pattern on the paper to confirm the conjecture in his heart.Her mind was blank, and it took a long time before she slowly put away the seal.At this time, Tang Linyi's secret was infinitely magnified in her heart, and an inexplicable panic seized her heart and lungs, almost suffocating.

After thinking about it, she folded the paper in her hand and burned it clean with a candle.

She still has a lot of things to do, Master's things... She sighed, let's put it aside for now!

This afternoon, Mu Yunge became more and more busy.After checking the accounts of the inner courtyard sent by Manager Xu, he asked the girl to deliver some supplements to Qiao Fengqi's mother and son. During the period, servants came to inquire about family affairs from time to time. Fortunately, Yushan was there, so they barely managed it.

After a busy day, night finally came.

According to the rules of the Mu family, every year and festival, all houses and courtyards must gather together to share a feast.Lantern Festival is called the Xiaonian, and it is also the only day when the aunts don't have to wait for them, and they sit and eat on an equal footing with the head of the house.

Mu Zhi came back late, when he arrived, Xiao Shi led Aunt Qiao, Aunt Shen, and two maids, Yaxin and Yalan, who were already waiting in the dining room.Today, Mrs. Xiao changed into a delicate pink color. She is already beautiful, but this is even more eye-catching; Aunt Qiao has a smile on her lips, and she is wearing a green and lotus-colored skirt, which is generous and gentle; Aunt Shen is wearing Mu Zhizhao's favorite purple banquet dress , quite pretty; the two girls are also dressed happily, each has its own beauty, each has its own charm.

As soon as Mu Zhizhao sat down, he asked Guanshi Xu to give each room a thick red envelope.

Mu Yunge got a coral hanging chain with a wreath hanging from it, which was exquisitely handcrafted, and immediately hung it around his neck; Mu Jinran got a small jade fan.Both siblings were very pleasantly surprised, hugging him on the left and right, flattering him.

Mu Zhizhao was in a good mood, kissed his son, and pinched his daughter's flamboyant little face before ordering dinner.

The head of the family, Mu Zhizhao, sat at the head, Xiao Shi sat first on his left, Mu Yunge sat second, and Mu Jinran sat next to Mu Yunge.In order to show respect to the mistress, the concubines are not allowed to sit in the seat facing Xiao.In this way, Aunt Shen happened to be opposite Mu Yunge, and in turn, Aunt Qiao, Yaxin, and Yalan.

As soon as Mu Yunge sat down, his eyes glanced at Yaxin inadvertently, and saw that she was in a daze, staring at the red envelope in front of her, wondering what she was thinking, and she didn't even hear Mu Zhizhao calling for dinner.

Yalan pushed her back: "What are you doing, you've been ill for a long time, and you can't even hold chopsticks?"

They have always been at odds, sitting next to Ya Xin, Ya Lan is extremely displeased.

Yalan snorted, then picked up the chopsticks in front of her.Immediately, Mu Yunge saw that her face turned slightly to one side, and her hand holding the chopsticks trembled a little.

Mu Yunge's lips parted, looking at the newly changed tableware on the table today, he almost laughed out loud.

Today she was hosting the Lantern Festival banquet. She remembered that there was a set of sterling silver tableware in the storeroom, so she asked Peiying to take it out and handed it to the mother in charge of the dining room.

Holding the bowl and chopsticks, Xiao Shi was also taken aback for a moment, and then gave Mu Yunge a doting smile: "You ghost girl, why did you turn out the tableware?"

Mu Zhizhao said with a smile: "This tableware was given by a friend when I went to Kyoto a few years ago! Yun Ge, how do you know where I put it?"

"Father, mother, my daughter recently checked the accounts and also looked at the warehouse catalogue." Mu Yunge stood up and blessed Fushen, and blinked mischievously: "My daughter sees that this tableware has been idle for a long time, it's a pity, and I want to Today is the Lantern Festival, why not take it out and use it, so as to live up to the value of the tableware itself. This is what I think..."

Mu Jinran tilted his head to look at her, then at his parents, and said in a childish voice, "I like to eat with this, it's shiny..."

Suddenly, he pointed to his own bowl, loosened the silver spoon in his hand towards Mu Zhizhao and the others, and said in amazement: "This bowl and spoon are amazing, and they can change color!"

Mu Zhizhao and Xiao Shi were amused by his naughty tone, smiled knowingly, and looked at his bowl cooperatively.

Mu Jinran is growing up, and learning martial arts from Tang Linyi, it's very hard work, every time it's time for dinner, he must be the first one who can't wait.So as soon as Mu Zhizhao said to start, the girl helped him serve the soup first.At this time, the inside of the silver bowl in front of him was actually a little black.He took a spoonful of soup with a spoon, and that spoon was also black!

Seeing this, Xiao cried out in surprise, was so frightened that he almost fainted: "Jin Ran, have you had this soup yet?"

Mu Yunge was the closest to him, and quickly grabbed his spoon and bowl with one hand.

Mu Zhizhao pushed away the chair and strode towards Mu Jinran, carried his son off the seat, and checked left and right.Mu Yunge called his pulse, and Mu Jinran's pulse was stable, so he was relieved.

Seeing that everyone was nervous, Mu Jinran knew something was wrong, so she shook her head: "Mom, I didn't drink."

Xiao shi heaved a sigh of relief, and Mu Yunge's violently beating heart also stabilized.She couldn't express the regret in her heart, although she guarded and guarded again and again, she forgot that Mu Jinran was small and almost caused a catastrophe!

She stood up and tried her soup spoons one by one among the dishes on the table, only when she got the black-bone chicken Codonopsis soup that was exactly the same as that in Mu Jinran's bowl, the spoon turned black.She put down the spoon and blessed Muzhi: "Father, it's all my daughter's fault. It's the first time I let my daughter run the house, and this happened. Please punish me! However, the Lantern Festival family banquet is always In our family, someone dared to poison the soup, maybe it would kill us! Especially when my mother is pregnant with my younger brother, you can imagine how poisonous this person is!"

Mu Zhizhao let him go, swept everyone in the seat with a livid face, and said coldly: "Everyone is sitting. Check, let me check carefully! No one is allowed to leave until I find out why! "
