Chapter 072 – Father Says Not Tough Enough (1 / 2)

“Ghosts” Mu Zixi was so frightened by the spring rain that her face turned white, biting her lip tightly and looking at her angrily, “Where are the ghosts”

Chunyu raised her eyes in horror and looked around, the gust of cold wind swept in ghostly fashion, she instantly shrank back into Cailian’s arms in fear, “There really are ghosts, second young miss, the slave girl is scared.”

Mu Zixi lowered her voice, “Then wait for me here, Cailian, go.”

“Yes.” Cailian was also terrified, but she still had the guts to follow behind Mu Zixi, and the two of them then walked forward carefully one after the other.

So the deeper they go, the more the two of them feel as if someone is following them behind, Mu Zixi slowly stops and turns around violently, only to see from afar Chunyu holding a lantern full of tearstains, looking around in horror.

She then breathed a sigh of relief, and then she walked forward again, and when she saw a mound made of weeds, Mu Zixi poked her body forward, and then she was shocked and took a few steps backward.

Cailian look is also a soft legs, but do not dare to sit on the ground, can only half squatting constantly shaking, only because this pile of grass lying within a body has rotted, covered with maggots, look really disgusting to the extreme.

Mu Zixi turned her eyes to Cailian, “Go grab ten.”

“Yes” Cailian obviously crying, covered in cold sweat, carefully explore the body, step by step to move to the pile of grass, and then slowly forward, from the side to pick up a branch, slowly pick up the maggots, and then placed in the urn, so repeated ten times, and so on, and so after the good, as if relieved, like a sigh of relief.

Mu Zixi couldn’t take it anymore and spat out her bitter water violently sideways, and only after she got a little better did she look at Cailian, “Hurry up and go.”

“Yes.” Cailian held the urn and carried the lantern, carefully following behind Mu Zixi, the two of them then hurried back at a brisk pace.

Mu Zi Jing, who was watching from afar, hurriedly scurried over after Mu Zi Ruoxi left, then let Shuang’er also take a branch and pick ten into the urn, following Mu Zi Ruoxi’s departure.

Mu Zixi appeared to be still in a state of shock, her brows were locked, and she still looked left and right, hurriedly leaving the mass grave, and then the three of them headed south.

Mu Zi Jing, Sister Lin, and Shuang Er trailed off, and Mu Zi Jing couldn’t help but be a bit puzzled, “Where is Second Sister going”

“There is a Taoist temple to the south, could it be that they went there” Sister Lin raised her eyes and looked at the sky, only to feel that coming out in the middle of the night was really inappropriate and unsafe.

She couldn’t help but hesitate a bit, “Third Miss, according to the old slave, it’s better to go back.”

Mu Zi Jing, however, was reluctant and whispered, “No, I can’t let Second Sister get ahead of me.”

Sister Lin said helplessly, “It’s just that now that it’s late in the day, being out so much, in case there’s an accident, this is more important than that worship.”

Mu Zi Jing raised her eyes to look at the sky, thinking about the three of them, Mu Zi Ruoxi are not afraid, why is she so cowering, not to mention, she is the third miss of the Marquis Mu, and who would dare to murder her in the middle of the night.

Mu Zi Jing didn’t listen to the advice and continued to walk forward, “If you’re afraid, go back on your own.”

Sister Lin was immediately a bit annoyed, but there was nothing she could do, so she had to follow Mu Zijing, “Third Miss, how can an old slave leave on his own?”

“Then follow.” Mu Zi Jing was also a bold one, and now that she saw Mu Zi Ruoxi walking forward at a brisk pace, she thought that she had found the route early in the morning, which was why she was so familiar with it.

Sister Lin walked halfway, more and more feel panicked, only feel that this place is a little familiar, think about it, then suddenly realized, “Oops, third miss, can not go forward, this place is that Mingkong Taoist was killed.”

Mu Zi Jing heard, suddenly froze, raised his eyes and looked around, really is a little scared, now, has reached the halfway point, she is hesitant when, will see Mu Zi Xi has gone further and further, she self-consolation, Mu Zi Xi are not afraid of, what else is she afraid of, anyway, even if something happens, there is Mu Zi Xi in the front blocking it, so hummed a few times, straighten the waist, bold, will lift the steps forward to go. .

Seeing that Mu Zi Jing would not listen to advice, Sister Lin could only follow carefully with Shuang’er, and the group of three hurried up the mountain.

Mu Zixi walked this way very apprehensively and carefully, worrying along the way whether she would encounter bandits, or some unclean things, and so on up the mountain, raised her eyes and looked at the closed Taoist temple in front of her, which only slightly put down her heart.

Mu Zixi looked at the steps in front of her, turned her eyes to Chunyu and Cailian, and said in a low voice, “The two of you just follow behind.”

“Second Miss, there are a total of 500 steps, when you kneel down and kowtow, I’m afraid that the sky is also bright, if you can’t be seen in the mansion, what should we do?” asked Chunyu worriedly.

“I don’t care now, when I enter the Divine Doctor Sect, which one will dare to look down on me” Mu Zixi’s eyes condensed, and then she lifted up her skirt, kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times to get on the steps.

Chunyu and Cailian followed with lanterns on the side, it was already cold inside the mountain, and now it was hanging with a raging cold wind, and the sound of the whistling wind came from the ears, and Chunyu was so scared that she was shivering and her face turned white.

Cailian was no better, her silver teeth chattering, but she didn’t dare to make a sound, only raising her eyes to Chunyu, the two of them encouraging each other with their eyes as Mu Zixi moved up one step at a time.

Mu Zi Jing finally caught up, and when she saw Mu Zi Ruoxi, who had already climbed several flights of steps, she then looked at Sister Lin, “So that’s how it was.”

Sister Lin was relieved to see that the top was a Taoist temple.

Mu Zi Jing then followed Mu Zi Ruoxi’s example and climbed the steps three times.

But only climbed fifty layers, Mu Zi Ruoxi forehead red and swollen, knees bruised a piece, even with the tender palm was worn out, she raised her eyes and looked at the steps, secretly gritted her teeth, knowing that into the Divine Doctor door where it is so easy, since it will go through the tribulations of this kind of suffering she can not afford to suffer, and how to step on the feet of Mu Zi Yan in the future!

She only closed her eyes and continued to climb upward.

Mu Zi Jing was also a bit exhausted at this time, she only felt a wave of dizziness, and raised her eyes to look at Sister Lin, “How can this be so long?”

Sister Lin shook her head and said, “This Taoist temple has been built for five hundred years, so if you want to accomplish what you want, you must be sincere.”

Mu Zi Jing was indeed a bit physically exhausted, but raising her eyes to look at how high Mu Zi Ruoxi had already climbed, she didn’t dare to delay, and with a crossed heart, she continued to climb.

After Yun Xiang received the news, she hung her head and entered the inner room, seeing Mu Zi Yan sitting in a chair, holding her forehead with one hand, pondering.

She slowly stepped forward, “Eldest Miss, Second Miss and Third Miss have now arrived at the Taoist Temple.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded, “Then climb slowly.”

Yunxiang carefully opened her mouth, “Eldest Miss, at the hot spring manor, the Zhang Houfu Shi Zi Zi has not come out since he went there before.”

Mu Zi Yan rubbed her brow, “Where is cousin”

“Cousin Young Master is also at the Hot Spring Manor.” Yunxiang said in a low voice, “Coincidentally, in the evening, the Third Prince also went there.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly, “It seems like they are about to make a big move.”

“Eldest Miss, will this matter be related to the Marquis and the World’s Son” Yunxiang raised her eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, seemingly asking for her heart’s conjecture.

Mu Zi Yan shook her head, “I’m afraid it’s not that simple.”

She closed her eyes and contemplated, Leng Hanfeng appeared three years after she was driven to the family temple, and at that time, the State Duke’s House was still prosperous, Leng Hanfeng approached himself for the purpose of pulling the State Duke’s House together, and at the time when she was most helpless, he took advantage of the situation, and even more so, he took advantage of her thoroughly.

At that time she had no father, no mother, no brother, no sister-in-law, can rely on only the state government, and if she is still the first daughter of the Marquis, with the identity of Leng Hanfeng, since it is impossible to climb with her, so then Mu ZiYan suddenly suddenly realized, so it is actually so.

However, Mu Zi Yan feels that there seems to be any ulterior secrets, such as why dad is so jealous of the old lady and what is involved behind dad’s death to the extent that, in addition to her, the entire big house is nearly extinguished.

As long as she thought of those past events, her heart ached, she pressed on her chest, suppressing the pain that cried out, her eyes broke out a flash of bloodthirsty cold light, she must find out the truth.

“The head of the State Duke’s Office can have news,” Mu Zi Yan convergence of the intimidating cold air, asked in a low voice.

“State Duke Mrs. is to find out some of the eyebrows, good in the Zhong family and Hou family to keep their promise, did not mention this matter, just Miss, this old lady is how to know that you have entered the Divine Doctor door,” Yunxiang continued, “it seems that she did not know that Jin Daifu is the Divine Doctor door of the people. “

Mu Zi Yan coldly laughed, “There is really restlessness within the State Duke’s residence.”

“Eldest Miss, could it be that the old madam,” Yunxiang couldn’t help but think deeply, and with a sudden shock, she was startled, “the old madam’s hand has not reached out a little too far.”

Mu Zi Yan hooked her lips and smiled lightly, “The old madam is not easy to bring down, she was able to be in the marquis house for all these years, condoning the second house and the third house to be this arrogant, there must have been a plan, it’s just a pity that she met is me.”

Mu Ziyan didn’t believe that she couldn’t fight an old woman in her new life, even if she had been cultivated into a spirit, she was still a thousand year old ghost.

She secretly calmed her mind, and then said, “Yunxiang, you and go and do two things.”

“Eldest Miss commands.” Yunxiang knew that the seemingly peaceful Marquis Mu’s residence nowadays might usher in a bloody storm soon.

Mu Zi Yan attached her ear and said, “Tomorrow I’m going to go to a hot spring manor, you go and make arrangements, there’s one more thing, make sure to do it yourself.”

“Yes.” After hearing these two things, Yun Xiang turned around and exited the inner room.

The next day dawned faintly, Mu Zixi raised her eyes to look at the Taoist temple that was close at hand, her heart was overjoyed, her forehead was stained with blood, she only felt that her knees had gone numb, after she finally climbed the fifth step, Chunyu and Cailian rushed to help her up, “Second young miss, we’re finally here.”

“Go, quickly go in.” Mu Zixi didn’t dare to delay, and ignoring the fact that she was full of wind and soil, she rushed into the Taoist temple, and when she went in, a black shadow suddenly flashed, and the three of them collapsed to the ground with a blackout in front of their eyes.

Mu Zi Jing then arrived, even more eager to enter the Taoist temple, when she saw fainted on the ground Mu Zixi, she carefully raised her eyes and looked around, only to find that there is no abnormality inside, could not help but be puzzled.

“Could it be that she fainted,” Mu Zi Jing turned her eyes to look at Sister Lin and spoke in confusion.

Sister Lin glanced over and stepped forward alertly, “The old slave will go and take a look.”

“Together.” Mu Zi Jing always felt that there was something weird in this Taoist temple, so she didn’t dare to stand still, so she went up together with Sister Lin.

Just as the three of them approached, they felt a coldness in their backs, and when they looked up, they saw a pair of eyes staring at them, and the three of them were so frightened that their eyes rolled over, and they fainted in unison.

Mu marquis residence, Cui waited all night, did not wait for Mu Zijing back, the heart seven on eight down, it is difficult to sit still, only to see the daybreak, she is more worried, but no one to pass a letter back.

Mu Zi Yan but rested for two hours, now the color looks a little bad, she looked at the bronze mirror within their own, the bottom of the eyes actually also covered with a layer of black and blue, she raised her eyes to look at Yunxiang, “things can be done.”

“Don’t worry, Eldest Miss, things have already been done.” Yun Xiang answered in a low voice, and then she personally made up for Mu Zi Yan.

In this room, Cui’s anxious ball, pacing back and forth in the house, straight waiting for the heart anxious.

Mu Zi Yan stepped out of the smoke fall courtyard, went straight to the Jiyue courtyard, Qi’s also just woke up, see her come, they saw the color is not good, and then frowned, “This is how the”

Mu Zi Yan stepped forward and leaned into Qi’s arms, “I didn’t sleep well last night.”

“Unsubstantial,” Qi couldn’t help but get a little suspicious, “could it be that”

“It’s not that I ran into anything unclean, it’s just that it’s a little hard to bear.” Mu Zi Yan raises her eyes to Qi’s and continues, “Mother, I heard that the hot spring manor in the western suburb is good, I would like to go over there this day to take a look and rest for the night.”

Qi’s see Mu Zi Yan color is poor, think of these days the things in the house is quite worried, if it is out of the heart or good, so smiled and answered, “more with some guards, I heard that Xuan’er is also in the place, and you and go, I will rest assured.”

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “Many thanks, Mother.”

“You girl, before you were uninitiated, but now your mind is heavy again, I don’t know if this is good or bad.” Qi looked at Mu Zi Yan with heartache and sighed quietly.

Mu Zi Yan hurriedly laughed, “Mother, I was just sleeping uneasily, why was my mind heavy”

Qi, however, did not distinguish with her, but smiled lovingly, “You go and get ready.”

“Yes, daughter excuses herself.” Mu Zi Yan winked playfully at Qi, and when she had blessed herself, she led Yun Xiang back to Smokefall Courtyard.

Just stepped out of the Jiyue Courtyard, then saw Lu Zhong footsteps hurriedly walked over, looks a little gloomy.

Mu Zi Yan’s eyes lowered as she crossed a touch of cunning, stepped forward and asked with concern, “Why did Uncle Lu leave in such a hurry?”

Lu Zhong raised his eyes to Mu Zi Yan and bowed, “Eldest Miss, something has happened to Second Miss and Third Miss.”

“Something happened,” Mu Zi Yan asked in disbelief.

“Precisely, hey, this matter old slave or first go to report marquis and lady it.” Luzhong seems to be difficult to speak, and then toward Mu Zi Yan salute, then such as the Jiyue courtyard.

Mu Qinyuan was coming out of the study, just through the corridor into the Jiyue courtyard, then saw Lu Zhong walked in.

His sword brows condensed as he looked straight at Lu Zhong, “What happened”

“Back to the Marquis, it’s Second Miss and Third Miss, now lying outside the mansion unclothed, with many maggots crawling on their bodies.” Lu Zhong said in a low voice.

“But the two of them were carried in,” Mu Qingyuan’s eyes condensed and he said in a deep voice.

“When the old slave went out, outside the house has been surrounded by many people, and there are some young masters of the family, now is outside the house to see the fun” Lu Zhong continued, “The old slave has ordered the second miss and the third miss carried in, just the second miss and the third miss reputation is afraid of this ruined. “

Mu Qingyuan snorted coldly, “Why did the two of her appear outside the mansion”

“This old slave inquired about the subordinates and said that Second Miss and Third Miss had not returned all night.” Lu Zhong said with a sardonic face.

“Outrageous,” Mu Qingyuan slammed his palm on the table, “The Marquis’ residence has never seen such a woman who has corrupted the family customs, and this matter cannot be lightly spared.”

“Marquis, the old madam arrived just in time and carried the two young ladies back to the Long Pine Courtyard.” Lu Zhong raised his eyes to Mu Qing Yuan and said in a low voice.

“Hmph.” Mu Qinyuan this is annoyed, the face of the Mu Marquis House can not tolerate half a bit of defilement, he turned around and went to the Long Pine Courtyard with big and awe-inspiring strides.

It was only when he happened to see Mu Zi Yan come forward that the anger on his face dissipated a bit, but he was still gloomy.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at Mu Qing Yuan, “Father, I’ll go with you, Mother is not feeling well and is not in a position to exert herself.”

“Also good.” Mu Qingyuan nodded slightly and led Mu Ziyan to the Long Pine Courtyard.

Qi was a bit uneasy and turned her eyes to Sister Cui, “You go along and take a look.”

“Yes.” Sister Cui answered with her head hanging down, and then she too followed with a brisk pace.

At this moment, the long pine courtyard, is already crying, Mu Zi Ruoxi and Mu Zi Jing two people wrapped in brocade quilt, thinking of them personally from the rotting corpses down maggots, just now is lying on their bodies, will feel a burst of revulsion, but now but also do not dare to go to the wash, just kneeling on the ground bawling.

The old madam’s face was gloomy, listening to these two people crying one after the other, obviously a little impatient, her eyes sank, coldly said, “Shut up”

Mu Zi Ruoxi and Mu Zi Jing hurriedly stopped crying and raised their eyes tearfully to look at the old madam, “I still hope that grandmother will be the master of this, this is definitely my big sister framing me.”

Mu Zixi was the first to come back to her senses, rushing forward and tugging at the old madam’s skirts with hatred.
