Chapter 69
"It's never wrong to be wrong, but she is too outstanding, and she casts the wrong identity again."
The old lady waved her hand, signaling to Mother Liu that there was no need to continue.
A concubine's young lady is so outstanding, after all, it will still cause some twists and turns in the heart of the eldest daughter-in-law.But the eldest daughter-in-law is the head mother of the Mu family, and the entire Li family is behind it. If there are many things that are really fair, it may cause even greater disturbances.
After many years of decline, the Mu Mansion is finally getting better now, so it is natural to focus on the overall situation.
Recalling that day, the old lady couldn't help feeling a little regretful in her heart.If I had known at that time, I should have pushed the boat with the current and sent Mu Changge to Zhuangzi.Firstly, it can protect her well, and secondly, it can somewhat calm down the resentment in the eldest daughter-in-law's heart.
"Then, what does the old lady mean now..."
Mother Liu asked softly, but the old lady just shook her head noncommittally, and did not say another word.
At the same time, on the path outside the courtyard, Mu Changge met the person who was walking towards him impartially.
Seeing the person coming, Mu Changge smiled slightly, "Second aunt is going to the old lady's place?"
The person standing in front of Mu Changge is none other than the second wife of the Mu family, Liu Ruiya.
Compared with the dignified and graceful eldest lady, the second lady of the Mu Mansion has a bit more bookish air.The things she wears are also very elegant.
"Have you just been there too?" The second lady opened her mouth, not too friendly, but not too indifferent.
During the years of marrying into the Mu family, no matter who she treats, the second wife seems to always have such an attitude, and she will always look like a gentleman's friendship is as indifferent as water.
Mu Changge nodded, and said again: "Second Aunt, if you really want to go, it's better to wait a while. When I left just now, the old lady was just about to rest. If I go now, I'm afraid it will disturb the old lady. peaceful."
"That's true, there was just a riot in the mansion yesterday..." Halfway through the speech, the second lady sighed again, and said nothing more.
The topic of Mu Xiurong's death has now become a taboo in the Mu residence.
"Since the old lady is resting, then I won't bother you." The second lady was about to leave, she couldn't help coughing a few times, her coughing face wrinkled slightly.
"Why did you cough like this?" Mu Changge stepped forward and patted the second lady's back lightly a few times, "I've already come here anyway, if Second Aunt doesn't mind, come and sit with me. Bizhu stewed white fungus and pears early this morning, it is very effective in relieving cough."
After a few words of refusal, the second lady went to Qiancui Courtyard with Mu Changge.
Just after the two exchanged pleasantries for a long while, and left, a line of sight lightly protruded from the old lady's yard, glanced at the backs of the two, and then hid back in the yard in a blink of an eye.
"Second Aunt, please." Mu Changge lifted the curtain for the Second Madam with his own hands, and then turned his head to tell Bi Zhu, "Second Aunt is coughing, so you can't see the wind and cold, so close the doors and windows."
Bizhu served the white fungus pear soup, and closed the doors and windows one by one. The second lady, whose face was still as indifferent as water before, looked at Mu Changge with a three-point closer look.
"Is there anything wrong this morning?"
"Second Aunt, does it look like I have something to do?" Mu Changge smiled, "Speaking of which, I would like to thank Second Aunt, if it wasn't for Second Aunt's generous help, I'm afraid I would be the one tied up in the ancestral hall today. "
Aunt Shi suddenly came to Qiancui Courtyard yesterday. Although Mu Changge was calm on the surface, he was somewhat suspicious in his heart from the moment she arrived.
Aunt Shi has never been a magnanimous and reasonable person, if something happened to Mu Xiurong, she would only remember hatred and loathing, why would she come to the door just to beg herself to send two clothes?
At that time, she secretly signaled to Bizhu to keep a close eye on Aunt Shi's master and servant. As expected, when Aunt Shi's maid hid the medicine bottle in the fish pond, Bizhu saw it clearly.
With a little guesswork, it's not difficult for Mu Changge to know what they are going to do, so he simply came up with a trick.It's just that the person who helped them do this, I'm afraid no one in the Mu family would guess that it was the second lady.
And yesterday, before going to Mu Xiurong's place, what Mu Changge went to was the second wife's residence.
Aunt Shi and the others had calculated thousands of times, but no one included the second wife among them.Right after Mu Xiurong's death, when Aunt Shi went to Mur Xiurong's courtyard, the second wife ordered her confidants to quietly hide the poison in Aunt Shi's courtyard.
All of this was done in secret and in an orderly manner, until Aunt Shi died, I'm afraid she would never think of the second lady.
The second lady smiled softly, "It's not a helping hand. If it wasn't for you last time, my Hong Yu would have suffered a lot. If I help you, I can be regarded as a mother who repaid your life-saving grace for my son." .”
In the previous life, although Mu Changge had little communication with this second aunt, he knew a third of her temperament.
Her second aunt's temperament has always been completely different from that of the eldest lady. Although she doesn't talk much on weekdays, she always gives Mu Changge a sense of wisdom that sees through but does not reveal.
The second lady is a smart person, and she is rare in this mansion. She is smart, but she will never keep those smart people who want to hurt others.
Since he is a smart person, Mu Changge simply opened his mouth, and it's not interesting to go around.
"Brother is talented and talented, and it is common for villains to be jealous and plot against. But..." Mu Changge raised his gaze slightly, "Brother is full of talents, but he just wants to be safe and protect himself. Somewhat regrettable."
The smile on the second lady's face faded a bit, "It doesn't matter how brilliant he is, if it's not his turn to fight for it, he can't fight for it."
"The rules of the Mu Mansion have never changed since the ancestors. Except for the Patriarch of the Mu Mansion, no one is allowed to obtain fame and become an official in the court. What's more, since his father, he has been a concubine of the Mu Mansion. The rules How can it be messed up?"
Mu Changge leaned slightly towards the second wife, and in a low voice, said very calmly, "What if elder brother has the qualifications to be an official in the imperial court one day?"
The second lady paused for breath, then chuckled, "Chang Ge, you can't say such nonsense."
"How can Second Aunt determine that I'm talking nonsense?" Mu Changge raised his eyebrows slantingly, and the sharpness in his eyes made the Second Madam stunned for a moment.
"Second Aunt should also know that the head of the Mu Mansion is still the old man. According to the rules of the ancestors, the old man should have explained the next head of the Mu Mansion many years ago. But until now, the old man has never said anything. The second aunt won't understand the reason for this, right?"
The second lady's heart tightened, she naturally understood that if it wasn't for this, her son would not have become a thorn in the eyes of the eldest grandson of the Mu family!
The old man, Mu Wenze, was able to enter the court as an official, but the old man said early in the morning that Mu Wenze was not considered as someone in his heart who could inherit the position of Patriarch, and he was allowed to enter the court as an official only because of the frailty of that generation of Mu family. Except for Mu Wenze, there is only Mu Wenxian who is ignorant and addicted to sex all day long.
But in this generation, Mu Xinyang, the eldest grandson, has grown up, but the old man has not mentioned the matter of the head of the family for a long time. The old man is satisfied.
The position of Patriarch of the Mu family has been reluctant to be handed down for a long time. If Mu Xinyang does not get the position of Patriarch, Mu Hongyu, who is far superior to him, will always be a thorn in his side.
The second lady understands all this in her heart, but...
I saw that the second lady's face was a little more dignified, "Changge, what you said today is really too much."
"Our mother and son's situation in the mansion is considered to be difficult. I never expected my son to be able to rise to the top, because if I think about it, I'm afraid that my life will be taken at the same time before the step is lifted. Already!"
The second lady stared closely at Mu Changge's eyes, and slowly shook her head. Although her tone was light, there was a trace of determination that no one could shake.
"Although I don't know what you are thinking in your heart, it will never be what I expected. All I want is to live in peace and security. Even if he will always be inferior to others in Mufu, I only want peace .”
Mu Changge laughed, and the coldness that flashed across his eyes was clearly visible.
"Does the second aunt think that if you obey and give in, you can really withdraw from a way out? The villains are pressing every step of the way, and you back down step by step. Although the knife in front of you has never been stabbed, how can you be sure that they are not trying to kill you?" Are you pushed to a cliff?"
"At that time, the blade has already reached the throat, and there is also a cliff behind me. There is no way to move forward, and there is no way to retreat. Where is the way out?"
Even though she knew that Mu Changge's sharpness was not aimed at her, the second lady couldn't help but tremble when she saw the glint of light in her eyes.
The second lady still shook her head, "I am by no means a fool. Although you and I have different paths to take, I will definitely not let go of the word self-protection."
"Hong Yu is also the blood of the Mu family. If he can behave in a proper manner without making any mistakes, the old lady and the old lady will protect him."
"It's you..." The second lady frowned, and looked at Mu Changge with a bit of pity, "The old lady wants to protect you, so why do you have to try to do the drudgery of hitting a stone with a pebble?" thing?"
Mu Changge shook his head, "Second Aunt was wrong. The old lady never really wanted to protect me. What the old lady really wanted to protect was always the future of the Mu family. The face of the Mu family was never me, let alone me. It won't be big brother."
Mu Changge's words fell to the ground, and after a while of silence, the second lady reached out her hand resolutely, blocking back what she hadn't said yet.
"You don't need to lobby me anymore. This matter is too risky. I will never agree to join forces with you and let Hong Yu take this risk. But there is one thing that I have to remind you now."
