Chapter 074 – Prince Chu (2 / 2)

“Since cousin doesn’t want to explain the reason, I won’t ask, since I’m a bit more careful.” Qi Xuan saw Mu Zi Yan’s eyes crossing a darkness, his heart flashed with a flash of doubt, could it be that Leng Hanfeng had done something light to his cousin

Thinking about this, Qi Xuan’s heart seemed to ignite a blazing fire, and his eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light.

Mu Zi Yan knows that now with Chu Ye is considered to have reached an agreement, but wherever the Third Prince has any movement, he will certainly send a message with her, so, she also has no need to stay here.

After packing up, Mu Zi Yan personally went ahead to bid farewell to Third Prince Jun Qian Hao, and then led Yun Xiang and Bi Yun to leave the hot spring manor.

Qi Xuan personally escorted her across the bridge and watched her get into the carriage, and only after the carriage was far away did he turn around and go back.

From afar, I saw a person standing at the end of the bridge, and when I got closer and saw the person, Qi Xuan was a little more alert, but his face did not change his gentle color, “Why is Brother Leng standing here?”

“Look at the scenery.” Leng Hanfeng also only faintly responded, but his gaze was always looking in the direction that Mu Ziyan’s carriage had left.

Qi Xuan remembered Mu Zi Yan’s instructions, so he was also unwilling to talk to Leng Hanfeng much, nodding slightly, “Even so, I will not disturb Brother Leng’s pleasure.”

“It doesn’t matter, I’ve seen enough of the scenery, so I’ll go back since.” Leng Hanfeng turned around and went forward with Qi Xuan.

Qi Xuan did not excuse himself, so the two of them entered the hot spring manor without any words along the way.

Mu Zi Yan sitting in the carriage, look a little tired, these days thinking too much, but some spirit is not good.

Yunxiang carefully sat aside, Bi Yun raised her hands to pinch her sideburns, and whispered, “Eldest Miss, now that you are returning to the mansion, you won’t be able to make it back until evening.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and looked at Yun Xiang, “Where is Zhong Xuan”

“She left the Hot Springs Manor early this morning, and has now returned to the Marquis Zhong Mansion.” Yunxiang whispered back, “There is one more thing, Great Young Grandma left the house this morning to go to Marquis Zhong’s residence.”

Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, “What is she doing going forward to Marquis Zhong’s residence at this time and it just so happens to be when Zhong Xuan goes back.”

Yunxiang shook her head, “The news from the house has not been probed today.”

“Continue to keep an eye on it.” Mu Zi Yan didn’t want to believe that her sister-in-law was harboring any ill will, but now, in order to be cautious, she still had to be on guard, so just think of her as a small person’s heart.

And so back to the Zhong Hou House, Mu Zi Yan straight to Jiyue Yuan, this morning Marquis Mu left for Funan, Qi’s now not yet slowed down, see Mu Zi Yan back, the sadness of the heart only dissipated some.

“Mother.” Mu Zi Yan went up and marched to Qi’s heel, slightly blessing her and looking at her with a smile.

Qi barely revealed a smile as she looked at her and said, “I don’t know how, but this heart always feels insubstantial.”

“Mother is missing father” Mu Zi Yan asked with a smile.

“You girl, how can you say such things,” Qi’s face flushed slightly as she scolded petulantly.

Mu Zi Yan but more and more smiled smugly, and then leaned in Qi’s arms, looking down at Qi’s bulging belly, from her rebirth has been a month, her mother is also pregnant with a baby in April, but fortunately she is safe and sound, turning danger into safety, otherwise, according to the trajectory of the previous life, now my mother is afraid to be

When she thought about it, she was secretly happy and hated those who wanted her family dead to the bone, she raised her eyes and playfully winked at Qi, “Mother, when I went back to the house, I heard that my sister-in-law went back to Marquis Zhong’s house.”

“I heard that although Zhong Yu woke up, but his body is not very good, Mrs. Zhong Hou is also sick because of this, and she went when word came from that place in Zhong Houfu.” Qi whispered back, obviously feeling that this matter is sensible and reasonable, there is nothing wrong with it.

Mu Zi Yan, however, thought a little deeper, and when she thought of Zhong Xian, her heart gradually flashed another touch of gloom.

She couldn’t deny that she had failed too many people in her last life, and in this life, she definitely wouldn’t make the same mistake, and what she shouldn’t be involved in, she definitely wouldn’t touch.

She went straight back to the Smoke Drop Courtyard, but Sister Cui followed.

“There is something wrong with Sister Cui,” Mu Zi Yan asked in a low voice as she saw Sister Cui’s face showing difficulty.

“In the past few days, Madam’s complexion looks better, but the old slave always feels unsure.” Sister Cui said in a low voice, “Miss, can you ask Dr. Jin to come to the residence to take a look?”

When Mu Zi Yan saw that Sister Cui was also so worried, her heart sank and she then said, “What’s abnormal”

“Madam always feels pain in her heart in the middle of the night, but her qi was better the next day.” Sister Cui continued, “Dr. Zheng came to take her pulse and couldn’t find out.”

Mu Zi Yan’s eyes slightly converged, “In addition to these”

“By the way, there is that the lady can not see the light, the ability to move around more, in the past after noon will be in the courtyard a little walk a few laps, but these days to see the sunlight will be guilty of dizziness.” Cui Maa originally thought that maybe the lady is pregnant with this baby some delicate, but now think carefully, but also feel very suspicious.

Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly and turned her eyes to look at Yun Xiang, “Have Hidden One send a message to Master to come and make a trip to the mansion, but do it in a more covert manner, do not let anyone find out.”

“The slave girl will go and do it.” Yunxiang answered and then exited the inner room.

Sister Cui looked at Mu Zi Yan, “Eldest Miss, the Second Lady’s place seems to be too quiet, the more the old slave feels that something is wrong.”

Mu Zi Yan knew that Cui Maa had always acted cautiously, she was silent for a moment and said in a low voice, “Cui Maa, did you find anything at Auntie Two’s place?”

“The Second Mistress’ daily usage has exceeded the amount, although it’s only a few, but the old slave feels as if there is some other intention in this.” Sister Cui went on to say, “Great Miss, please take a look, this is the excessive amount of items.”

“Ink, cotton cloth, incense powder” Mu Zi Yan see the list of the above excess, these are just ordinary use of things, but she felt that these things seem to be stored in some implicated.

She raised her eyes to Sister Cui, “Do not tell Mother about this matter, so as not to worry her.”

“The old slave saves.” Sister Cui responded in a low voice, “Eldest Miss, please forgive the old slave for speaking frankly, the Great Young Grandmother’s place must not be relied upon.”

Mu Zi Yan looked at Sister Cui, “Why”

“Great Young Grandmother’s heart is toward the Zhong family.” Sister Cui then told Mu Zi Yan one by one what she had observed in the past few days, “For example, the matter of the incense packet, it came from the body of the maid she brought along, she did not check it carefully, and it was like the matter of the second lady framing her for murder on that day, the old slave always felt that the great young grandma seemed to be too attentive.”

Mu Zi Yan is precisely this intention, see Cui Sister analyzed the head, but also do not want to really suspect Zhong Hui, after all, she is the brother’s favorite person, if the future really find out what, she should how to say with the brother it

She finally sighed, “Don’t make a noise about this until it’s confirmed, everything will remain as it was before.”

“Yes.” Sister Cui answered in a low voice, and then she did not linger any longer, “Old slave will retire first.”

“When master comes, I will personally invite master to come.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Sister Cui, “In a few days when I’m not in the residence, this place of my mother’s will rely on Sister Cui to take care of it.”

“The old slave will do her best.” Sister Cui bowed and replied, then retreated.

When Yunxiang came back, she saw Cui Maa’s worried expression and stepped forward, “Mother, why do you look so ugly? Are you sick?”

“You serve the eldest miss well, there is no harm in me.” Sister Cui gently patted the back of Yunxiang’s hand and lifted her steps to walk outside.

Yunxiang eyed Sister Cui’s back, slightly lowered her eyes, collected her thoughts, and then entered the inner room, “Eldest Miss, Second Miss and Third Miss are now at the family temple, making a lot of noise.”

“Just let the old madam take care of this matter.” Mu Zi Yan was not too concerned about this matter.

“Yes.” Rue Xiang answered in a low voice.

Mu Zi Yan carefully pondered over Sister Cui’s words just now, and then pushed the account book left behind by Sister Cui to Yunxiang’s heel, “Go and check.”

“Yes.” Rue Xiang took it, turned around, and left again.

Bi Yun walked in with refreshments, then put them aside and muttered, “Eldest Miss, the slave girl feels that this mansion has become strange.”

“Tell me.” Mu Zi Yan asked, looking up at her.

Bi Yun first handed Mu Zi Yan pastries, and then held a fragrant tea, said in a low voice, “Chunyu and Cailian with the second miss went to the family temple, Sister Lin is now paralyzed in bed, has not yet climbed up, but this second house and the third house of the other people are excited, do not know why”

Mu Zi Yan’s eyes slightly raised, “Giddy”

“Yes.” Biyun continued, “Everyone has a smile on their face, happier than a spring festival.”

Mu Zi Yan’s eyes sank slightly, what are the second and third houses up to again?

“Missy, just now Xiao Cui came, said that the third lady cried for half a day yesterday, but this morning did not see the color of sadness, but instead smiled and went to the old madam’s place.” Bi Yun spoke in a low voice, “Since the old madam’s place came out, got a lot of gifts, after the third madam went back, she has been in the house laughing all the time, don’t know what she got, surprisingly so happy.”

The more Mu Zi Yan listened, the more she felt wrong, “And?”

“And the second lady’s courtyard, those maids don’t work, sitting around high on melon seeds gossiping, the lady is now pregnant, since she is unwilling to go to the control, but in turn, let them get complacent.” Bi Yun said, apparently also hummed.

Mu Zi Yan slowly got up, “Follow me to take a look.”

“Yes.” Bi Yun hurriedly followed, then with Mu Zi Yan together stepped out of the Smoke Drop Courtyard, first went to the nearest Moon Stream Courtyard, and then saw that the maids and maids-in-law in the courtyard were very lively, and were currently sitting around in a group, eating wine and chatting on a big day.

Mu Zi Yan’s eyes sank as she lifted her steps into the courtyard and drank in a cold voice, “What is this all about”

The voice was like a thunderbolt from the sky, the maids sitting around raised their eyes in fear, and when they saw that it was Mu Zi Yan, they hurriedly put down their wine cups and knelt on the ground.

“Marquis House there are no rules” Mu Zi Yan stepped forward and coldly swept over the maids and maids in front of her, sternly drinking, “this broad daylight, then so unscrupulous to eat up wine.”

“Back to Eldest Miss, this is a gift from the Second Mistress.” That granny raised her eyes to Mu Zi Yan and said rather aggressively.

Mu Zi Yan snorted coldly, “Second Auntie is now locked up in the ancestral hall, how could she do such a ridiculous thing”

“Indeed it is a gift from the Second Lady, Eldest Miss, please take a look.” That granny hurriedly took out the strip of cloth from her bosom and handed it to Mu Zi Yan with both hands.

Mu Zi Yan raised his hand and looked after, his eyes shot out a flash of cold light, then put away, “This Mu Hou House is not to be so unruly, do not hurry to clean up, or else, each lead the board to go.”

“Yes, the old slave will clean up now.” The granny was shivering with fear and hurriedly answered, then turned around and put away the wine and food with the others.

Mu Zi Yan turned around and went out of Yuexi courtyard, and then went to Zhang’s courtyard, and the situation she saw was the same, and then looked at the words on the note, her face was cold and sullen, and she reprimanded the maids and maids in the courtyard, and then led Bi Yun to Changsong courtyard.

This matter now can not alarm her mother, she did not want her mother because of this matter angry body, so she went to find the old lady.

Seeing Mu Ziyan come angrily, Sister From did not panic, but respectfully hung her head, “Eldest Miss, please wait in the hall for a moment, the old slave will go to pass on the message.”

“With thanks from Sister.” Mu Zi Yan collected the anger in her heart and said in a low voice.

From Sister entered the inner room, and when she saw that the old madam was rising from a nap, she whispered, “Old madam, the eldest young lady is here.”

“But for the second house to eat wine,” the old lady is aware of it, and then asked carelessly.

“Exactly.” From Sister answered in a low voice.

“I’m just an old woman, this marquis matter which have my say, now body bones also loose, more willing to worry about these troubles, you tell her, I have not yet woke up is.” The old madam said faintly, eyes low flashed a flash of ghostly light.

After answering in a low voice from Sister, she went out of the inner room and looked at Mu Zi Yan, “Eldest Miss, the old madam has not been feeling well for the past two days, and she has not yet woken up today.”

Mu Zi Yan was more or less expecting this, so she didn’t stay long and then said, “Since grandmother is not feeling well, she should take care of herself, so I won’t bother grandmother to rest.”

“Old slave sends the eldest young miss.” From Sister said and sent Mu Zi Yan out of the courtyard.

Bi Yun said unconvincingly, “Eldest Miss, the old madam is clearly unwilling to intervene.”

“Go to the ancestral hall.” Mu Zi Yan only felt that there seemed to be another mystery in this matter, and now that she saw the old madam with such an attitude, she thought that the old madam must have a calculation in her heart.

Yunxiang rushed from afar, “Eldest Miss, the slave girl has checked everything on this ledger, it is indeed overdosed, the second madam’s place used all these things elsewhere.”

“Where,” Muzzy Smoke asked in a low voice.

“There are rumors within the capital today.” Yunxiang took that note over, and then handed it to her, “This was just spread out today, and now the entire capital is in an uproar.”

After Mu Zi Yan took, to read, the face also followed the gloomy up, this is written on all her Mu Zi Yan, is a heaven-defying lone star, not only grams father grams mother, but all contact with her, are not good death, widowed and orphaned life.

Mu Zi Yan let out a cold laugh, “It was a painstaking effort for Second Aunt to do so, but the timing was just right.”

Just in time for father to go to Funan, brother with the Prince to go to the southern foot, now the capital is afraid that everyone knows the rumors, but where father or brother accident, mother will certainly be in trouble, immediately after the rumors, and she naturally was crowned with the bad name of the star of the disaster, the old lady and then logically drive her to the family temple, the marquis of the position is to fall on the head of the second uncle.

She recognized the calculations at the State Duke’s birthday banquet, so they set another trap for her to jump into, and she snorted, wanting her to top the infamy, that also depended on whether they had the ability to do so.

Bi Yun was instantly furious when she saw it, “This second madam is also too vicious, she even thought of this kind of method to falsely accuse the eldest young lady, and even more so, she cursed the marquis and madam.”

Yun Xiang looked at Mu Zi Yan, “Eldest Miss, what should we do now”

Mu Zi Yan was about to head to the ancestral hall when she seemed to want something and turned to look at Yun Xiang, “When will master arrive”

“Now that Hidden One is arranging it, the fastest it will take is one incense stick.” Yun Xiang counted the hours and returned.

“Go to Ji Yue courtyard.” Mu Zi Yan said and then sprinted to the Ji Yue courtyard, just stepped into the courtyard, then heard a miserable scream coming from the inside.

Mu Zi Yan’s heart was startled, and she rushed in, and saw Sister Cui anxiously supporting Qi, who was covering her stomach, her face white and covered in sweat.

“Hurry up and help mother lie down.” Mu Zi Yan couldn’t help her hands from trembling, forcing down the panic in her heart, she went forward to help Qi.

Qi raised her eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, her eyes were in a trance, her lower abdomen was swollen and painful, tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, “Yan’er, mother is not in the way, you and go out.”

Mu Zi Yan shook her head, indisputably souring the corners of her eyes, forcing back tears, holding Qi’s cold hand, turning to look at Yunxiang, “Make Hidden One faster.”

“Yes.” Rue Xiang answered and hurriedly turned around and rushed out.

Mu Zi Yan looked to Sister Cui, “First, invite Doctor Zheng here.”

“It’s already gone.” Sister Cui remembers her lips trembling as she lowers her eyes to placate Qi, “Ma’am, you must hold on.”

Mu Zi Yan grasped Qi’s hand, but looked down and saw the red underneath her body, her heart lifted up in her throat, her heart balked, is heaven destined, this child can’t be kept after all? No, with her, she will never allow this child to be lost, she knows very well that if this child is lost, it is biting half of her mother’s life, and if someone purposely spread rumors about what happened to my father and my brother, would it not be a threat to my mother’s life?
