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

“Yes, it’s big sister.” Mu Zi Jing also figured it out and hastily agreed, kneeling down and going up to similarly tug on the hem of the old madam’s skirt.

When Cui hurriedly arrived, she saw Mu Zijing in front of her, her forehead was bruised, her body was wrapped in a brocade quilt, revealing a section of her white wrist was also bruised, she was heartbroken, and hurriedly went forward and knelt on the ground, “Jing’er ah, what’s wrong with you?”

“What’s wrong,” the old madam saw Cui’s haunted look and snorted coldly, “You raised a good daughter, simply disgraced into the face of the Mu Houfu.”

Cui’s stunned, before coming to hear the original story, also figured out that this matter must be Mu Zi Yan behind the ghost, deliberately destroyed Jing’s innocence and reputation, in the future, her Jing’s how to get married ah!

Cui hurriedly tilted her head to look at the old madam, “Old madam, you must judge Jing’er, this is clearly a trap laid by the eldest young lady.”

“A bunch of nonsense.” While Cui was still making a lot of noise, she heard a stern shout and saw Mu Qingyuan walk in with a gloomy face.

Cui shivered in fear and hurriedly lowered her eyes, not daring to support her voice.

Mu Zixi, however, could not care less, she felt that she was completely finished, not only ruined her arm, but now even her reputation was ruined, she looked at Mu Zi Yan with indignation, pounced forward and wanted to tear Mu Zi Yan.

Yunxiang hurriedly stepped forward to block Mu Zixi’s path, looking at her quietly, “Second Miss, take care of your body.”

Mu Zixi snorted coldly, “Take care of your body, my body is already ruined, Big Sister, if you’re not willing to introduce me to the Divine Healer Sect, you could have just said so explicitly, why would you want to design a way to harm me?”

Mu Qingyuan was really annoyed by what he heard and turned his eyes to Mu Zi Yan, “Yan’er, what’s going on”

Mu Zi Yan aggrievedly looked at Mu Qing Yuan, whispered, “A few days ago, grandmother called my daughter to come, knowing that my daughter into the Divine Doctor door, then thought of letting my daughter introduced two sisters to see the master, or let the master accept two sisters as a disciple, two sisters kneeling in front of my daughter yesterday, crying and begging, my daughter is soft, so I should go to try, but I do not know, why the two younger sister just now, this is again What do you mean?”

Hearing Mu Zi Yan say this, Mu Qing Yuan raised his eyes to look at the old madam, his eyes shooting out a cold light, “Old madam, this Yan’er worshipping the Divine Physician Sect is a matter of good fortune, for you to force yourself on her like this is too unsympathetic.”

The old madam’s heart sank, knowing that Mu Qingyuan was backing up Mu Ziyan, she made that rude request yesterday, obviously Mu Ziyan did not say with Mu Qingyuan, now Mu Qingyuan rebuked her like this, she immediately felt disgraced, and said in a deep voice, “How dare you!”

Mu Qingyuan, however, turned his eyes toward Mu Zixi, “You said that Smokey set you up, and how did she set you up?”

Mu ZiXi raised her eyes to meet MuQingYuan’s dark eyes, and couldn’t help but shudder, hurriedly lowered her eyes, and didn’t dare to make a scene, but said in a low voice, “Worshiping the Divine Physician’s door, no need for big sister’s introduction, if one can pass the three hurdles, then it’s possible, and my niece is following the three hurdles that big sister said to do, and I didn’t realize that there was an accident.”

Mu Zi Yan looked at Mu Zi Ruoxi in disbelief, “Second sister, don’t spit blood, when did I say such things.”

“It wasn’t what Missy said, but what that girl Bi Yun said.” Cui Clan couldn’t help herself now, even though she knew that Mu Qing Yuan was not to be messed with, she couldn’t let her daughter be wronged for nothing now.

“Summon Bi Yun here.” Mu Qingyuan said in a deep voice.

Lu Zhong responded, and then he turned around and ordered someone to go ahead and summon Biyun to come.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at Mu Zi Ruoxi and sighed quietly, “Second sister, you’re so truly breaking my heart.”

Mu Qingyuan turned his eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan and then to the old madam, “Old madam, if this matter is clearly investigated and it is not Smoke’s fault, how should these two maids be disposed of”

The old madam knows that today is not the time to get tough with Mu Qingyuan, as long as she is settled in the marquis house, sooner or later, one day, will certainly be able to will however sit on the seat of the marquis, therefore, she can only suppress the anger of the heart, the face of the poor said, “since the family rules disposal.”

When Cui heard this, she instantly panicked and rushed forward to shout, “Old madam, you can’t do this, Jing’er is only nine years old.”

The old madam raised her hand to wave Cui’s hand away, twirling her Buddha beads without saying a word.

Cui, however, did not dare to make a sound, but only turned around and wrapped Mu Zi Jing in her arms, her heart in turmoil.

Mu Zi Ruoxi trembling stood aside, at this moment, she saw Cui’s love for Mu Zi Jing, Marquis love for Mu Zi Yan, and she it father is not there, mother indifference, and she can only ever be such a lone stand, a lone army.

She remembered that after she woke up, the pair of eyes with lust, or disgust, and the whispering, pointing voice, she looked down at her body crawling with maggots, disgusted almost vomited, the body’s clothes were torn, clothes, she hastened to huddle in the body, at that moment, she knew that she was really ruined, but, in her helplessness, where are her parents! Where are they?

Mu Zi Ruoxi more and more hate, the flame of hatred seems to grow in her heart, now has more and more raging, she hated her parents, hated Mu Zi Yan, hate the Mu Marquis, and those who mocked her, will she wantonly trampled on the foot of the people, she bit her lip, hidden and brocade in the hand tightly clenched into a fist, nails submerged in the meat and palms, but she did not feel the pain, but only to feel the hatred of the heavens.

Not long after, Bi Yun entered with her head hanging down and bowed respectfully, “Slave girl has met all the masters.”

“Bi Yun, you and say something.” Mu Qingyuan swept a glance at Bi Yun and said in a cold voice.

Bi Yun spoke in confusion, “Slave girl doesn’t know what Marquis means by that”

“You say it.” Mu Qingyuan looked at Cui and said in a deep voice.

Cui Clan looked to Bi Yun, “Bi Yun, you have placed an eye in my yard, but the day before yesterday you sent a message to that girl, saying that Missy’s introduction is just a delaying tactic, if you join the Divine Doctor’s door, you must go through three hurdles.”

Bi Yun raised her eyes to look at Cui Clan suspiciously, then shook her head and said, “Third Mistress, why are you making up the slave girl like this, the slave girl, even if she had the guts, wouldn’t dare to discuss the master’s business, let alone doing that kind of thing to frame the master.”

“Hmph, I knew you wouldn’t admit it.” Cui snorted coldly, “That girl who passed the message with you can now be in my hands.”

Bi Yun, however, said frankly, “Then invite her to come and confront the slave girl face to face.”

Cui choked, hate that day that girl did not find, now think about it will know is Mu Zi Yan deliberately laid a trap, now but also regret it is too late.

“That passing the three hurdles is what big sister told second sister” Mu Zi Jing looked at Mu Zi Yan and questioned sadly.

“When did I say that” Mu Zi Yan innocently looked at Mu Zi Jing, “Since I have promised to introduce the two sisters, I will keep my promise, when did the third sister see me break my promise”

“But I clearly followed Second Sister there yesterday.” Mu Zi Jing looked resentfully at Mu Zi Ruoxi, “If Big Sister hadn’t told Second Sister about the method, why would Second Sister have gone to the mass grave in the middle of the night?”

“Mass grave,” Mu Qingyuan was now completely furious, “still don’t tell the original story.”

The old lady saw Mu Zi Jing this incompetent appearance, lowered her eyes skimmed her a glance, warning intention is very thick, only to say that these two are not enough to make things happen, she was not easy to hand them a ladder, but did not think that these two are not willing to follow the ladder to climb, and now made a mess of these things.

Mu Zi Jing did not dare to say anything more since, but instead, she fell on the ground and cried.

Mu Zi Yan looked to Mu Zi Ruoxi and asked in a low voice, “Does second sister have something to say”

Mu Zi Ruoxi raised her eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, her soft eyes were now glowing with a chilly, cold light, she hooked her lips and smiled coldly, then she lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Seeing Mu Zixi like this, Mu Qingyuan turned his eyes to look at the old madam, “Old madam, since the matter has been ascertained, this matter will be dealt with by the old madam.”

Only then did the old madam look at Mu Zi Jing and Mu Zi Ruoxi, “Now that the capital is afraid to stay, even if you two stayed in the mansion, you would not be at peace, so you will be sent to the family temple to think about it.”

The words, Cui immediately cried out, “old lady ah, you can not be so cruel ah, Jing’er is still small, she will be locked up in the yard is, daughter-in-law will take care of it, you can not send her to the family temple ah, has not yet reached maturity out of the cabinet of the woman sent to the family temple, it is simply to take her life ah.”

The old madam said in a deep voice, “she has lost her cleanliness, if not sent to the family temple, then so strangled hair to do the aunt to go, but also save looking at the bad luck, Mu Houfu’s reputation has been corrupted by her, and she still has the face to stay I can not afford to lose this face.”

Cui slumped to the ground in dismay, turning her eyes to Mu Zi Jing, what could she do to make Jing’er stay?

Mu Zi Jing naturally know what the family temple is, now the whole person stayed as if it were a wooden chicken, to wake up, quickly prostrate at the old lady’s feet, “grandmother, Jing’er does not go, Jing’er does not go to the family temple, beg grandmother to open the grace ah.”

Why would the old madam be willing to send the two of them to the family temple, but now, at the tip of the storm, she had to, otherwise, the two of them were afraid that their little lives would be difficult to protect.

Mu Zi Yan thought of the word “family temple”, then remembered in the family temple that three years of miserable, dark days, she did not know how she overcame, until she left the family temple, she realized that the outside world is the real hell on earth.

She looked over her shoulder at Mu Zixi, but she saw her body suddenly go limp and she fainted on the ground.

The old madam passed a wink to Sister From, and saw two maids come in and carry Mu Zixi out.

Mu Zi Jing also cried and fainted, Cui held Mu Zi Jing and refused to let go, this is her daughter ah.

Mu Qinyuan led Mu Ziyan out of the Long Pine Courtyard and turned to look at her, “These two girls are due for a lesson.”

Mu Zi Yan knew that she could not hide that bit of tactics from her father, and raised her eyes to look at him, “Father, if I do this, will you think that I am too ruthless?”

“You’re still too kind-hearted.” Mu Qingyuan stroked Mu Ziyan’s hair, “I’ll send you four more hidden guards.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Zi Yan’s eyes overflowed with tears of emotion, and she stepped forward and fell into Mu Qing Yuan’s arms, “Father, thank you father.”

Mu Qingyuan looked down at her and secretly sighed, if he hadn’t been so tolerant, why would his precious daughter have become so ruthless It was just clear to him that if he wanted to survive, he had to become ruthless.

When Mu Zi Yan returned to the Smoke Drop Courtyard, as expected, she saw four figures fall down, Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows and looked at them, then handed them over to the hidden guards who punished the Zhang Clan that day to make arrangements.

In order to clearly identify, she replaced these six people respectively, hidden one, hidden two, hidden three, hidden four, hidden five, hidden six, and hidden one as the overall responsibility, so that with the action.

“Eldest Miss, the second young miss is still unconscious today, the second madam knew about the second young miss and did not react in any way.” Bi Yun went up to look at Mu Zi Yan and couldn’t help but feel strange, “I really don’t know if this second madam is really hard-hearted or if the second young miss isn’t even her own.”

Mu Zi Yan couldn’t help but smile, “Why do you say that”

“Look at the third madam, nowadays she is still hugging the third young miss and crying, while the second young miss is lying alone and unattended in her hospital bed.” The corner of Bi Yun’s mouth was turned away, “The second young miss has this kind of heart, I’m afraid it’s also because of the second madam.”

Mu Zi Yan held the scroll in her hand, and when she lifted it, she knocked on her head, “You’re pitying her instead.”

“If you don’t know that second young miss is that insidious, and just look at the surface, second young miss’s encounter like that can indeed cause compassion.” The corner of Bi Yun’s mouth turned away, covering her head and retorting.

“You’re talking back to me” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows and looked straight at Bi Yun.

Bi Yun now also more or less knows Mu Zi Yan’s temperament, and hurriedly saluted, “Slave girl doesn’t dare.”

“Which you wouldn’t dare.” Mu Zi Yan put down her scroll and raised her eyes to look at the sky, “When I send the two younger sisters off on their journey, it’s time for me to go to the hot spring manor.”

“Eldest Miss, do you think the second miss can go to the family temple” Bi Yun felt that this second miss was unconscious, the old madam was afraid that she wouldn’t let her go forward like this.

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “She has to go even if she doesn’t go nowadays.”

“You don’t know, the rumors outside are wonderful.” Bi Yun was overjoyed at the thought of the scene she saw.

“Even if it’s wonderful, it won’t last long.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly, not really caring.

Biyun think so, this capital rumors are many, today is this family, tomorrow is that family, some other day to come to a more interesting, everyone will forget, anyway, the two young lady is still small, if the maturity of the return, then who still remembers today’s things

“Miss, slave girl do not understand, why you do not directly dispose of them” Bi Yun followed Mu Zi Yan, heart also naturally ruthless some, know what is shoveling grass does not get rid of the roots of the spring breeze blowing again and again, and Miss has always been not a merciful and soft-hearted, why will the second miss and the third miss mercy it!

“Warm water boils the frog.” Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “Now is not the time to go on a killing spree, if the two of them are really dead now, there will surely be another two young ladies, in these few days, it will not be easy for me to be distracted.”

Yunxiang walked over at this moment, “Eldest Miss, the old madam ordered people to carry the second miss inside the carriage, the third madam cried and hugged the third miss and didn’t let go of her hand, and from the mamma was also with the ruthless, directly from the third madam’s hand, the third miss was hard dragged over and pushed into the carriage.”

“It seems the old madam has also figured it out.” Mu Zi Yan laughed coldly, “She knows that if Mu Zi Ruoxi and Mu Zi Jing stayed in the mansion any longer, it wouldn’t be a ruined reputation like today’s, and I’m afraid it would be hard to even keep her life, if these two weren’t useful to her, why would she bother to bother with this idea.”

“Eldest Miss, but it’s time to move,” Yun Xiang asked carefully.

“En, move.” Mu Zi Yan gently shook her arm’s retaining veil and stepped out of the Smokefall Courtyard with light footsteps.

When she sat in the carriage out of the Marquis of Mu, far from seeing that gradually disappeared to the family temple carriage, heart a cold smile, the old lady really can not wait ah.

Yunxiang made tea and handed it to her, “Eldest Miss, going forward to the hot spring manor in the western suburb will take at least two hours.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded, “Just after noon.”

“Exactly, just this way” Yunxiang knows, Miss ordered someone to explore the road early in the morning, here out of the city gate, twenty miles ahead, there will be a wooden bridge, across the wooden bridge in order to reach the hot springs manor, just that the wooden bridge can only pass through the people, but can not pass through the car, do you want to let Miss get off the carriage to cross the wooden bridge on their own?

“The wooden bridge must be crossed, otherwise we will have to circle along the mountain road, so waiting until we reach the hot spring manor must be late at night.” Mu Zi Yan looks to Yun Xiang, “When the time comes, let the carriage wait at the same place.”

“Yes.” Yunxiang thought of the hidden guards beside the eldest young lady to protect her, so she felt much more at ease.

“Eldest Miss, I heard that the owner of the hot spring manor is very mysterious, no one has seen him so far.” Bi Yun looks at Mu Zi Yan, “But every year, the owner of the hot spring manor will come to the manor to stay for a few days, and I don’t know if I will be able to bump into him nowadays.”

“You’re interested in that manor master” Mu Zi Yan couldn’t help but flirt when she saw Bi Yun’s face of yearning.

“Not really, it’s just that it is said that the owner of that manor is erratic, some say it’s a chivalrous man, and some say it’s a handsome exiled immortal-like male, so it’s rumored to be divine, but behind him is a force that is sufficiently subversive to subvert the world, and surprisingly no one dares to mess with it.” Bi Yun was always well-informed, and now she spoke out in a brain.

Mu Zi Yan remembers that the owner behind the hot spring manor in his previous life was the Third Prince, how come this life has become a mysterious and unpredictable person?

She clearly remembered that this hot spring was a spring discovered by Zhong Xuan, and only after that the manor was constructed, used as a secret base with the Third Prince secretly pulling together forces, so who was this person who appeared out of thin air?

Mu Zi Yan once again affirmed that the trajectory of this life has long since changed from the previous life, people are still those people, things are still those things, however, the time of the emergence has changed, and in turn, many things have changed.

“What is the name of this person” Mu Zi Yan in the previous life indeed did not hear of this one person, how come this life will appear so personal to it!

“Everyone calls him Mr. Chu.” Bi Yun continued.

“You’re quite the know-it-all.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to Bi Yun and said with a smile.

Biyun shyly lowered her eyes, “but is a vegetarian more pay attention to some, Miss, this Chu Gongzi I heard is a world unrivaled person, not only good martial arts, good medical skills, but also proficient in Qi Men Dun Jie, is a rare odd person.”

“It’s an exaggeration.” Mu Zi Yan did not believe that there could be such an all-rounded person in the world, but it was just a word of mouth rumor and exaggeration.

Undoubtedly it was to create momentum, for the spa estate and even more so behind his mysterious identity.

This is like the world of those stars gossip gossip, always looking for some convincing gimmick, or to attract reverie, after dinner talk just.

Master and servant three people talking and laughing to the wooden bridge, Mu Zi Yan bent down from the carriage to explore the body, after the spring year, she will be eleven, but the figure is slightly higher than the usual girls of the same age slender some, she wore a veil on her face, slowly from the carriage down, to be traveling to the wooden bridge, but did not go forward.

“Eldest Miss, what’s wrong,” Bi Yun supported her from the side, seeing that she just stood and didn’t move, she couldn’t help but be a bit puzzled, so she asked carefully.

“Just some déjà vu.” Mu Zi Yan looked straight at the wooden bridge in front of her, only to feel that this bridge resembled that Naihe Bridge.
