Chapter 085 – You Houfu People Really Know How to Play (Second Shift) (2 / 2)

The old madam nodded slightly, “I am not allowed to intervene in this matter, as long as this girl finds out the real culprit, I will be able to have her buried along with her.”

From the grandmother hung his head silent, know that the old lady this time is going to be ruthless, although just now she that move is to attract Mu Zi Yan into the game, but really also lost face, according to the old lady’s temperament, she was able to stoically to this moment, really not easy, since it will think of ways to get back.

As the sky darkened, Zhang Zong and Niangzi Lu ate dinner together with Mu Ziyan, then they chatted with Mu Ziyan for a while, and then rested on their own.

Mu Zi Yan is back to their own courtyard, went to the ear room and saw Bi Yun lying on the bed, raised his eyes to see her come in, then to struggle to get up.

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “You girl, get well, this kind of false gift later by the time you do.”

“Eldest Miss, it is the slave girl who is stupid and has dragged you down.” Bi Yun’s eyes flushed red as she blamed herself.

Mu Zi Yan lowly laughed, “Silly words, in the back of the house, this is not peaceful, the surface of the calm is only temporary, you are now being counted, but also people have been planning for a long time, can not be defended against.”

Biyun nodded and responded, “It’s just that I don’t know who exactly is really hateful.”

Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, “She’s only doing this because she wants to drag me down, and completely tear her face off with the old madam, who would have this kind of mindset within this marquis nowadays”

“Could it be,” Biyun’s eyes lit up now, and she opened her lips in a low voice.

Mu Zi Yan said with a low smile, “Well, you and well nourished, what you want to eat then despite letting Yunxiang to get.”

“Yes, Eldest Miss.” Bi Yun seemed to have found the answer and answered in a low voice.

Mu Zi Yan went out of the ear room and then entered the inner room, “Cai Yun can be found”

“Eldest Miss, it was not found.” Yunxiang whispered back.

“It seems our guess was right.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Is there anything wrong with this Cai Yun Su Ri”

“Eldest Miss, although this Caiyun is someone from the second madam’s courtyard, however, the slave girl has found out that she is actually someone from the third madam.” Yunxiang spoke cautiously, “Could it be that this matter was done by the Third Mistress”

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “She can still be in the family temple today.”

“It’s just that nowadays it’s impossible to find someone of that size and stature.” Yunxiang continued, “There is no one else in this marquis’ residence who fits the mold except for the third young miss.”

“No, there is one more person.” Mu Zi Yan hooked her lips in a light smile, “And this person you would never expect.”

“This marquis within the young lady now in addition to you, the second young lady and the third young lady can be in the family temple, and who will it be” Yunxiang a time indeed can not think out.

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “There are more than three young ladies within the Marquis’ residence.”

“Right, how could the slave girl forget about fourth miss.” Only then did Yunxiang come to her senses, but she really didn’t understand, “Eldest Miss, you mean that Fourth Miss killed Aunt Li.”

“Yes or no, we will know after this night.” Mu Zi Yan’s pretty face revealed a wry smile.

“The slave girl still doesn’t understand, this Aunt Su is from the second house, how could she be involved with Aunt Li” Yunxiang asked in puzzlement.

“Here the head of the grudge and is not a sentence or two to say to understand, but is the cycle of karma, retribution, just, you fell aunt Su can live in the marquis for so many years, but has not recruited the second lady scruples, but has her own way of survival of an extraordinary just, but it is a pity that, her heart is too restless.” Mu Zi Yan coldly said.

Now Yunxiang is even more confused, if this Aunt Su nature is the most sedate, said the weak is not too much, since the birth of the fourth miss, will be living in deep simplicity, has been staying in their own courtyard, rarely show up, even that the fourth miss is also regarded as optional, so that the marquis almost forget the existence of this fourth miss.

But she believed that Missy said so, must be based on evidence, so also no longer say more, the truth is always to unravel, but it is sooner or later, why should she be in this place to seek their own troubles?

Mu Zi Yan saw that she didn’t say anything and said with a light smile, “You girl, I like this about you the most, knowing how to advance and retreat.”

Yunxiang received Mu Ziyan’s praise and blushed slightly, “It’s the slave girl’s good fortune to be able to follow the eldest young lady.”

Mu Zi Yan lifted her hand and held hers in place, “In my mind, you’d rather think of you as a sister.”

Yun Xiang felt the warmth coming from Mu Zi Yan’s hands and raised her eyes tearfully to look at her, touched.

Mu Zi Yan let go with a light smile, “Well, you can’t drop this golden bean, there’s already one falling there.”

Yunxiang was made to cry and laugh by Mu Ziyan, she just blessed herself and said, “Eldest Miss, slave girl will go and prepare some tea for you.”

“Go.” Mu Zi Yan faintly answered, to be after Yun Xiang left, Mu Zi Yan eyes slightly pick, “Look at a good a while theater, still hiding to do what”

A white figure fell, the candlelight reflected on his body, seems to be gilded with a layer of golden light, the wind and splendor is no more than that.

She didn’t understand what had attracted his attention, and how he had appeared in front of her just after she had come back.

“Uncle, you come what instruction” Mu Zi Yan did not get up, now is not the Divine Doctor Sect, since there is no need for this kind of false courtesy.

Chu laughed helplessly and bitterly, in her presence, he was most uninviting.

“Just passing by.” Chu spoke faintly, appearing careless.

“Passing by,” Mu Zi Yan coldly laughed, “Uncle this passing by is really place, why not pass by the Zhong family or other families, but pass by in my house.”

Chu Ye raised his eyebrows in disbelief, then sat down without invitation, reaching out and naturally pouring a cup of tea, “All comers are guests, I’m a bit tired, I’m begging for a cup of water to eat, I don’t think Smokey would mind”

Mu Zi Yan low laugh, “Since do not mind, but as this night is already deep, master uncle figure sprightly habitual, like to do that beam gentleman, since go to the side of the house to do to go, disciple to rest.”

Chu Ye put down the cup, but is idle, suddenly remembered this girl, then came over to see, but she was so not entertained, now is not wait for the expulsion order.

Mu Zi Yan saw him slowly get up and flutter away, the corner of her mouth turned away, then the cup that he had used was thrown out in a smooth manner.

I didn’t hear the sound of the cup breaking, but only saw a white shadow flashing, and the cup disappeared with it.

Mu Ziyan closed the gauze window and raised her eyes to see Yunxiang walk in, she then sat down, “Remove the tea.”

“Yes.” Yunxiang then put down the new tea before picking up the teapot placed on the several cases and turning to leave.

And at this time the Mu Marquis House, was shrouded in darkness, late at night, the house was silent, only to see a figure secretly from the courtyard back door slipped out, and then disappeared in the darkness of the night.

Until she entered a secluded courtyard, she wiped away the cold sweat on her forehead and went forward to kneel on the ground, “Fourth Miss, you save the slave girl”

“You come here late at night, not afraid to cause suspicion” Mu Zi Lan and Mu Zi Jing the same age, the two before and after the birth, but the identity is different, one is the marquis of the third house of the third miss, is also the first daughter, the other is from the aunt’s stomach crawled out of the concubine, every year, Mu Zi Jing’s birthday that is a party of joy, and she can only be miserable cold to spend! This is all because their mothers are different.

Although Cui is dead now, Mu Zijing is still the third miss of the Marquis, the first miss of the third house, while she is the fourth miss of the second house, unnoticeable and unquestioned.

Mu Zi Lan since she understood, she has never seen auntie smile, the old lady does not listen to her, even her own father is the same, she just quietly stay in the body of Auntie Su, I heard that, auntie because of the birth of her body hurt, it is difficult to have a pregnancy in the future.

She thought that her life would be so peaceful, but as she grew older, she felt more and more that her position in the Marquis House was still no better than that of a maid, so the hatred of jealousy was so planted until it took root.

She is still young, but that pair of eyes but through the calculating ruthless, she looked at the kneeling in front of the handmaiden begging for her, the only idea is to kill to silence.

“You don’t have to be like this, if you really want to leave, I have my own method.” Mu Zi Lan said softly, then got up and helped this girl up, “You and first drink a mouthful of tea to smooth out your breath, I remember that there is a secret passage at the third madam’s place, later on I will bring you forward, then you will follow the secret passage to leave.”

“Fourth Miss, is this true” That girl looked at Mu Zi Lan, suddenly regretted coming to look for her, remembering what happened today, she couldn’t help but shudder.

Mu Zi Lan revealed a veiled smile and softly responded, “Naturally, you are my person, I will certainly not harm you.”

That girl held her teacup in trust and took a sip, then she couldn’t wait to say, “Fourth Miss, let’s go now.”

“Okay, you wait, I’ll go get a cloak, it’s windy at night.” Mu Zi Lan said and turned around and went inside, coming out with a cloak.

When that girl saw that she was not abnormal, she gradually lowered her guard and walked outside with her.

Just after taking a few steps, she felt unbearable abdominal pain, and then fell to the ground and wailed, raising her eyes incredulously to look at Mu Zilan, “Fourth Miss, you have a cruel heart.”

Mu Zi Lan’s face was wooden as she coldly stared at the maid who was lying on the ground and gradually losing her breath, and with a cold snort, the granny who was waiting outside walked in, and she said in a cold voice, “Drag her out, and sneakily bury her into the third young miss’s courtyard.”

“Yes.” The granny answered, and with one hand, she carried the already dead maid, while exiting the house.

Mu Zi Lan snorted coldly, turned around and put the cloak down, and then entered the inner room to rest herself.

The next morning, when Mu Zi Yan woke up, she heard Yun Xiang’s report, the corner of her mouth hooked up with a faint smile, “Unexpectedly, this fourth sister of mine actually has this kind of means.”

“Missy, this matter should be how” Yunxiang also did not expect, Missy’s guess is so accurate, this matter is really the fourth lady did, just why did the fourth lady to do so?

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “It’s just the beginning, the fourth sister wants to do more than that.”

“Yes.” Rue Xiang was not in a position to ask more questions.

Mu Zi Yan first went to Qi’s place to ask for peace, and then went to Zhang Zong’s place, Niangzi Lu saw her come, also knew what happened last night, she whispered, “At this age, already so poisonous, in the future there will be.”

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “Since the truth has been learned, what should Lord Zhang do”

“I think Missy wants more than that.” Zhang Zong whispered.

Mu Zi Yan hooked her lips and smiled lightly, “Lord Zhang wants more than that too, right?”

“This case is quite a lot of doubt, since it can not be rash, not to mention, now there is no witness, even if she was executed, I believe that the person behind the instruction will not be willing to give up, and then start a storm.” Zhang Zong realized that the relationship of this Mu Houfu now has been tense to this situation, if not still maintain the surface balance, afraid that it has already made a mess of the sky and the earth.

And maintain this calm, but also the most sophisticated, that is the old lady of the long pine courtyard, but Zhang Zong but feel that here is not lack of this before the eyes of this Miss Mu’s credit.

Lv Niangzi is a smart woman, involving the Mu Houfu family matters, she is not willing to ask more, so she also pretends to be deaf.

Mu Zi Yan know that the two people in front of them are smart people, so they do not beat around the bush, bluntly said, “Zhang Daoren is to see, also know, my father is not the old lady out, back then, my own grandmother knew that the end of the day, and do not want to be wronged by my father, they have been to Dad was named son, she only left her hand, and then, grandfather renewed, married the old lady as a stepchild, and then gave birth to two uncle and three uncle in succession. , and then gave birth to second and third uncles in succession, when grandfather was alive, the old madam was restrained, but over the years, this calm surface is afraid to break.”

Niangzi Lu did not expect Mu Zi Yan to be so forthright about the hidden matters of her family, but she knew that the family’s scandal could not be disclosed to the public, so it was evident that she was sincere about her heart.

Mu Zi Yan looked at Zhang Zong, “Lord Zhang, the reason why I told the hidden things in the house is that I want to resolve this strife as soon as possible, after all, Marquis Mu’s house is now being scorned by the Emperor, and if there is another storm to come, then, the ones who will suffer will still be my loved ones.”

Zhang Zong was a person of understanding, knowing that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, not to mention, the relationship between Marquis Mu and the State Duke’s Office, he nodded his head and responded, “What does Miss Mu want me to do?”

“And wait first.” Mu Zi Yan continued, “I think the big fish will surface soon.”

“If you want to take advantage of this to uproot them, I’m afraid you won’t be able to.” Zhang Zong said frankly.

“I know, however, even if we can’t eliminate the roots, we still need to make them hurt their vitality so much that they can’t jump around.” Mu Zi Yan wanted to take this opportunity to clean up the intertwined network of connections within the Mu Marquis’ residence, Aunt Li’s death proved one thing, that is, there is no lack of backstabbing lackeys within the Mu Marquis’ residence.

Zhang Zong also understood Mu Zi Yan’s mind, and then responded, “Since that’s what Missy wants, then I’ll wait.”

“Mu Zi Yan would like to thank Elder Zhang.” Mu Zi Yan said and rose to bow respectfully.

Lord Zhang waved his hand and said, “Miss Mu has a quick temperament, yet she is trapped in a deep house, at a young age, she has such tact and boldness, it really makes me admire her.”

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “But it’s just the situation that forced it.”

When Niangzi Lu saw Mu Zi Yan say this, she then smiled, “Can I call you Yan’er in the future”

“Then I will call you Lv sister can be good” Mu Zi Yan know Lv asked so, is to indicate that with you have the intention of proximity, thinking of the previous life of Lv nature of the widow, alone, even if the future and Zhang Zong can not be together, but also has never been sentimental.

“So very good.” Niangzi Lu replied with a smile, and the two of them were already a lot closer.

Inside the Long Pine Courtyard, the old madam half squinted her eyes as she reported the commotion outside from Sister, “Old madam, this matter is related to the second madam.”

The old madam’s eyes slightly converged, her lips slightly pursed, “So also shall not live in peace, she made such a commotion, I would like to see how she should end up.”

“Old madam, why on earth is the Second Mistress doing this,” From Sister really didn’t understand.

“Why,” said the old lady, opening her eyes completely and looking straight ahead, “she is resenting me, hating me.”

“It’s,” said Sister From, inevitably confused, “that you didn’t protect her at the time.”

“No, she is hating me for making her marry Ran’er.” The old madam whispered, “That’s why she ended up like this, now that Ran’er has become an invalid, even if she comes back, she’ll only be a second lord, she’s always been high minded and proud, how could she be willing to”

“This,” whispered the Sister, “is a matter that can be blamed on the Old Lady.”

“Just as well, I had the intention to protect her, but she had to run headlong into the ground, so how could I stop her,” the old lady said in a deep voice, “It’s just a pity.”

Seeing that the old madam was like this, from Sister, she did not ask any more questions, thinking that the old madam was now completely going to give up on the second madam.

Zhang Zong used the name of investigating the case, stayed in the Mu Hou House for three days, surprisingly, no progress, and then hit the road back to the house.

When Qi saw Mu Zi Yan come, she asked in a low voice, “What are you playing at again, this girl”

Mu Zi Yan blinked, “Mother, what idea could my daughter have, isn’t there someone who is hitting on my daughter today”

Qi laughed lowly and said, “Well, you and go make a mess, there’s Mother, you just go ahead and do it.”

“Daughter knew that Mother loves her daughter the most.” Mu Zi Yan hastily flung herself into Qi’s arms, suddenly remembering that Master had said that when Mother was in labor, she would let her personally go forward to deliver the baby, thinking of this, Mu Zi Yan lowered her head and gently stroked Qi’s bulging belly, “Stinky brat, I’m your older sister, so you’ll have to remember to be good to me in the future.”

Qi saw Mu Zi Yan muttering to her belly and smiled dotingly, “You girl, nowadays you are more and more of a rogue.”

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to Qi, “You can’t have a younger brother and not love your daughter.”

“Look at this, it’s not even born yet, and you’re already jealous.” Qi said with a smile.

Sister Cui came forward and chimed in, “Eldest Miss will definitely love Young Master even more than Madam in the future.”

“We still don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl, how come they’re all called Young Master” Qi couldn’t help but laugh.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked at Qi, “Mother, it’s quasi a younger brother, master told my daughter when he took your pulse last time.”

“If it’s what your master said, that’s it, but this child is a tosser, but also a blessed one, several times it has turned out to be safe, and in turn, let me worry about it.” Qi’s gently caressing her belly, said in a low voice.
