Long Song Fenghua: The Demon Queen Confused the King's Heart

Chapter 194
"Baozheng's body is already weak, so what if she broke down crying? Is this how you serve Miss!?"

Su Yibin stretched out his hand and went to help Mu Baozheng, "Cousin Baozheng, you can't come back to life after death, if you are too sad and cry yourself to death, how can auntie be at ease in the spirit of heaven?"

"Fourth Highness, don't blame Yan'er and the others, it's me... I can't help this sadness..." As he said, Mu Baozheng's tears rolled down again, and his tearful eyes were extremely pitiful.

"My mother is gone, the old lady is Baozheng's reliance... Who would have thought that the old lady would be willing to leave me like this! Thinking of this, Baozheng was really terrified..."

After hearing this, Su Yibin's face became more solemn, "What are you talking about? Could it be that you have nothing to rely on when your aunt and the old lady go away!? If anyone thinks this way, I will be the first to refuse!"

All the people present really listened to this full of pity.

However, after Su Yibin expressed his sincerity, Mu Baozheng had no intention of responding to him, and still bowed his head and sobbed alone.

Mu Baozheng has lost a lot of weight these days, Su Yibin looked at her, without hesitation for a moment, and said to Mu Wenze: "Uncle, Cousin Baozheng is too weak, if she continues to be sad like this, I'm afraid it will hurt her."

"During these days, in order to avoid hurting her, why don't you let Cousin Baozheng stay at Uncle's house for a while, and let her come back when she recovers, what does Uncle think?"

The word "uncle" is still kind, but Su Yibin's expression clearly has a hint of arrogance.

Now it is difficult for Mu Wenze to protect himself, if he can use Mu Baozheng to gain a relationship with the Li Mansion, it will be more or less a layer of protection, and he will not refuse.

"Since my uncle has agreed, I will send Baozheng to my uncle's house immediately after the old lady is buried."

After finishing speaking, Su Yibin looked at Mu Baozheng in a blink of an eye, his tone softened a lot, "Cousin Baozheng, do you agree?"

Mu Baozheng grabbed the veil delicately and softly, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, suppressed sobbing, choked up and said: "His Highness the Fourth Highness cares for Baozheng so much, Baozheng really... can't repay it!"

"Why should the family be so unfamiliar." Su Yibin said, "Don't be sad anymore."

After soothing Mu Baozheng in a soft voice, Su Yibin went elsewhere.

When turning around, Su Yibin looked exactly at Mu Changge, whether unconsciously or not.

That look seemed peaceful, but the gloomy and cold light flashed inside, but it never escaped Mu Changge's eyes.

Mu Changge turned sideways as if nothing had happened, but his mind sank secretly.

Su Yibin's glance concealed countless hostility.

It seems that Su Yibin's appearance today was really not accidental...

Gently picking up a leaf that fell on the cuff, Mu Changge's lips twitched slightly, and when he raised his eyes again, he returned to his usual expression.

At this moment, the second lady in plain clothes came over from a distance, and waved to Mu Changge, "Changge, come here."

"I'll come as soon as I go." After Chong Su Jibai and the two nodded their heads, Mu Changge followed the second lady.

The funeral was done in a hurry, and the servants in the mansion didn't have time to prepare, so many things were messy. Fortunately, the second lady arranged it properly so that there would be no such a messy scene.

"Aunt Jiang can't get out of bed yet, Aunt Song has to watch over her, and Aunt Sun doesn't care about anything, so I have to ask you to help me."

"Second Aunt, you are welcome. Second Aunt has helped me so much. Now Changge is just a little effort." Mu Changge copied the booklet in front of him, and smiled softly with the Second Madam, "It's just..."

"These things should not be so difficult for Second Aunt. Second Aunt came to me specially for these things."

The second lady frowned, then smiled helplessly, "You know it."

Looking around, the second lady lowered her voice, "The fourth prince's coming today must have something to do with Baozheng. Since she went to Li's mansion, Ruoli's mansion really left her behind. The implication is more obvious." However, you need to be careful."

"Thank you for your second aunt, Changge will not be negligent."

The second lady's movements paused, a touch of hesitation, struggling to wipe her eyes, and in the end, was replaced by that touch of firmness.

"Foreign enemies must be guarded against, and family thieves are not a problem."

Mu Changge's eyes narrowed slightly, and he searched for three minutes, looking at the second wife, "Second aunt means..."

"In these years, neither the old lady nor the eldest lady has shown any favoritism towards our second wife."

"People in the second room, everyone has those sporadic silver taels that only have a monthly basis. It is enough to add a rouge and gouache on weekdays, and cut two pieces of clothes, but it is definitely not enough to support your second uncle's extravagant debauchery."

A trace of sarcasm floated on the face of the second lady, "This mansion looks bright, if we really have to dig deeper, I'm afraid not many people are clean."

Mu Changge turned his eyes slightly to the side, his thick eyelashes cast a small shadow on the lower eyelid.

Looking at the second lady, Mu Changge suddenly smiled, his tone was calm and casual, his eyes were as cool as water, but he seemed to be able to see through her thoughts at a glance.

"The second uncle's handle is clearly in your hands, why have you allowed yourself to be wronged for so many years?"

The smile gradually disappeared from the second lady's face. She looked at Mu Changge and said word by word, "Because I still have affection for him."

The word love is the hardest thing to think about.

Mu Changge sighed softly, how similar is the second wife now to the obsessed woman she used to be...

On the same day, Mu Baozheng took Su Yibin's carriage and went all the way to Li's Mansion. He only sent someone back to Li's Mansion to report his safety that night, and there was no more news.

Time flies, and soon, the old lady's first seven days will pass.

According to Bai'an's custom, after the first seven days of the deceased, people must be ordered to bring peach-shaped desserts and send them to those families who have come to worship.

The Li Mansion also sent people to pay respects that day, so this time the gift will naturally be sent to the Li Mansion.

Who would have thought that the maid who sent the gift of thanks to Li's Mansion was the one who returned to Mu's Mansion tremblingly with red eyes.

When the maid came back, the second lady was ordering someone to make tea, and they sat face to face with Mu Changge, chatting about family affairs.Now that the old lady left, all the big and small matters of the Mu family will be under the care of the second lady.

"Ma'am, Second Miss, the servants failed to send out the thank you gift!"

When the maid entered the door, tears welled up in her eyes, and she didn't know where to put the exquisite food box in her hand.

"What do you mean failing to send out the thank you gift?" The second lady was puzzled.

"The servant was sent, but the people from the Li Mansion kicked the servant out indiscriminately!" the servant girl said, holding back her tears.

Mu Changge turned his gaze slightly, "Why did you get kicked out? There must be no reason."

"They, they said that it was the Mu family who let the slaves go, and they clearly looked down on them and didn't take the Li family seriously!"

Mu Changge and the second lady looked at each other, and the maid's cry continued, "I don't know why this is why they don't take them seriously... But there has never been a rule that the young master and miss must go. ah!"

"Okay, I can't blame you for this matter in the end, you go down first, and put your snacks here."

Glancing at Mu Changge's face, the Second Madam said a few words to the maid and sent her away.

As soon as the maid left, Mu Changge chuckled, "Second Aunt's previous suggestion couldn't have been more accurate. This time, the Li Mansion must deliberately put pressure on the Mu family, so that I have to go."

"You can't go." The second lady rebuffed straight away, "It's clear that the visitor is not kind. If you go, what should you do if something happens?"

Mu Changge shook his head, "Does Second Aunt think that if I escape this moment, I can escape forever?"

The second lady was at a loss for words, what Mu Changge said was not false at all.

Now not only the Li family is eyeing her covetously, but the old master of the Mu family and Mu Wenze are even more afraid of her.Mu Changge is now under attack, how long can he hide just by hiding?

"But if you go like this, I can't rest assured after all." The second lady sighed, "It's better to hide for a while if you can."

"No need." Mu Chang's singing cup dropped lightly, and let out an exceptionally crisp sound on the table, "Li's Mansion may not be a dragon's den, even if it is, I'm not afraid to venture into it."

"Bizhu." Looking sideways, Mu Changge said, "Let the kitchen prepare another snack. Let's go to Li's Mansion again tomorrow morning."

"Yes, Miss." Bizhu quickly walked out of the room.

The next day, early morning.

The snacks were delivered to Qiancui Courtyard early in the morning, and Mu Changge took Suyu and Bizhu with them, and they went out immediately.

No one would have thought that just stepping out of the gate of Qiancui Courtyard, they would run into Qi Jinzhi head-on.

"It's not a coincidence for the prince to come, Chang Ge has something to go out."

"This king wants to go with you." Qi Jinzhi said.

Mu Changge didn't speak, and glanced at Suyu, Suyu shook her head repeatedly, "Miss, don't wrong the servant girl, this time it really wasn't the servant girl who said it, what happened yesterday has already spread throughout our house."

Mu Changge laughed dumbly, "What are you doing with such a guilty conscience, I don't mean to blame you, I just want to tell the prince, with you and me, what is there to be afraid of in a mere mansion?"

Qi Jinzhi continued to speak calmly, "Wouldn't it be safer to have one more king?"

Seeing that Mu Changge was about to refuse again, Qi Jinzhi's complexion subtly sank, and he pretended to be suspicious, almost touching her face.

"When did Second Miss become so estranged from this king? Could it be that in Second Miss' heart, this king is always just an outsider?"

"My lord misunderstood. Changge didn't see lord as an outsider. Changge just..." Mu Changge's brows showed helplessness, "I just don't want lord to make enemies for nothing."

"Make enemies?" Qi Jinzhi smiled contemptuously, "A mere stern mansion is not worthy of being an enemy of this king."
