Chapter 004: Severing the Son and the Grandchild (1 / 2)

Yunxiang personally took the blood swallows with her and followed Mu Zijing to the second house, Mu Zixi’s “Moon River House.”

Let’s say that Mu Zi Ruoxi left from Mu Zi Yan’s place and went to the second madam’s house in fear and trepidation.

“Mother,” Mu Zixi’s face turned white, probably because she was still young and worried that her actions would cause Mu Zi Yan’s suspicion, and even her voice trembled a bit.

When the second wife, Zhang, saw her daughter’s panicked expression, her shrewd phoenix eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, “Ruoxi, why are you so flustered?”

Mu Zixi met Zhang’s stern eyes and stood still with her head hung down, suppressing the fearful worry in her heart and whispering, “Mother, my daughter did not win.”

“But it was discovered,” Zhang’s face was serious, her tone cold, not a trace of temperature.

Mu Zixi’s heart was aggravated, but she didn’t dare show it.

Can only whispered, “Daughter was about to start, big sister suddenly woke up, daughter will be the powder hidden in the sleeve, did not want to leave the powder from the sleeve fell, coincidentally was big sister see, daughter will be thought of beforehand to say to cover up the past, that package of powder was left by big sister.”

“Ruoxi, remember that you’re the first daughter of the Marquis, and you mustn’t lose your poise in any future encounters.” Zhang Clan said in a deep voice.

“Daughter took note.” Mu Zixi’s thin body trembled slightly, biting her lips tightly to suppress the grievances in her heart, and answered softly.

“Since this is the case, you will recuperate well these days, in a few days the old madam will fast and go out of the church, and you will have to coax it well.” Zhang’s cold voice said.

“Daughter saves.” Mu Zixi bowed and left Zhang’s house, returning to her own courtyard.

Zhang looked straight at her daughter’s departing back and sighed heavily, saying straight out that it was a pity.

Mu Zi Ruoxi had just entered the courtyard before taking a rest, when she saw the maid Cailian come to report that the eldest maid beside Mu Zi Yan had come to see her along with Mu Zi Jing.

She recalled her mother’s sternness just now, and remembered her great-uncle’s loving doting on her big sister, and her heart soured.

Her already weak body now looks more and more frail, softly leaning against the beauty couch, sick into three, look so pity.

When Mu Zi Jing walked in and saw her frail appearance, she hurriedly greeted her, “Second sister’s body is not well again.”

“It’s just a bit of a headache from the wind.” Mu Zixi pinched her handkerchief to cover her lips and coughed lightly, a sickly look on her face.

“My younger sister just saw that second sister wasn’t doing well, and remembering second sister in her heart, she came to take a look.” Mu Zi Jing showed concern on her face, but in her heart, she was not ashamed of Mu Zi Ruoxi for always pretending to be so weak and sympathetic.

Yunxiang opened her mouth at the right time, “Second Miss, Eldest Miss was worried that Second Miss was suffering from a physical ailment, so she sent her slave girl to send the Blood Swallows, so that Second Miss could properly nourish her body.”

Mu Zixi nodded slightly at Yunxiang, “I’m sorry for Big Sister’s concern, I wanted to visit Big Sister again tomorrow, but I can’t help it that this body isn’t up to it.”

“Second miss don’t worry, big miss said her own sister, when big miss is better she will come to find second miss to play.” Yunxiang always lowered her head and methodically returned.

Mu Zixi couldn’t say anything else, and Yunxiang didn’t linger much longer, so she left the Moon River Courtyard.

Mu Zi Jing also just chatted for a few moments before getting up and leaving as well.

Yunxiang returned to the “Smoke Fall Courtyard”, saw Mu Zi Yan is playing with her favorite personal incense bag, she slowly walked to the bed, “Miss, the second miss looks bad.”
