Chapter 088: Self-effacing (2 / 2)
by Jessie@AFNCC“I came to find sister Su.” Mu Zi Yan said truthfully, and then looked at Qi Xuan, “Cousin, you wait here, I will go up with sister Yi Yi to take a look, if there is any movement, you can then rush over.”
“Good.” Qi Xuan knew Mu Zi Yan’s concerns, and then he stood in place and answered.
Mu Zi Yan holding Hou Yi Yi’s hand, the two of them will continue to walk to the lotus pond, this place because of the late night, although there are lights, but not bright, because of the dinner party, the patrol of the imperial guards at the moment also retired in the imperial garden outside, therefore, this place will seem very quiet.
Hou Yi Yi carefully followed Mu Zi Yan up, the two of them walked a few steps forward, they heard a “plop” sound, the sound of someone falling into the water.
Mu Zi Yan rushed forward, then saw Su Qin Rou struggling in the lake, she knew Hou Yi Yi would not be waterborne, and then handed Hou Yi Yi the salvage veil, and with a leap, she dove headfirst into the lotus pond.
Hou Yi Yi now panicked, was about to scream, only to feel a hand suddenly reached over and covered her mouth, she struggled desperately, a foot stepped hard on the back of the man’s foot, was about to turn around, only to feel a pain in the back of the neck, two eyes black and fainted.
Qi Xuan also heard that sound and hurriedly flew over, only to see Hou Yi Yi fainted on the ground, while Mu Zi Yan jumped into the lotus pond, dragging Su Qin Rou, who was struggling, up and swam towards the shore.
Mu Zi Yan looked to Su Qin Rou scared white face, one hand tugged her, one hand forcefully rowed forward, just almost to the time, suddenly felt the foot seems to be a pair of hands tightly tugged, she could not break free, the whole person gradually become downward.
Mu Zi Yan looked a little difficult, raised her eyes to look at Qi Xuan who was standing on the shore, wanted to speak out of her mouth, but was choked by the water, she stomped her feet with all her might, but it still didn’t help.
Qi Xuan could see that Mu Zi Yan was out of sorts, and hurriedly tried to jump down, but when he saw Mu Zi Yan shaking her head, he hesitated for a moment, turned around and yelled, “Come on people ah someone has fallen into the water.”
The sound spread out, Mu Lingxuan was already worried about Mu Ziyan’s safety, and now that he heard Qi Xuan’s shouts, he rushed over right away, and along with him there were other sons of the lineage.
Mu Zi Yan felt those hands gradually loosening up when she heard Qi Xuan shouting, and she then breathed a sigh of relief, and then she also paddled hard towards the shore despite the spasms in her legs.
Qi Xuan rushed forward, grabbed Mu Ziyan’s hand and dragged her to the shore, Mu Ziyan turned around and looked at Su Qinru who was dragged up, just before being dragged by her, but still drowned and fainted.
Mu Zi Yan was soaked to the skin, and when Qi Xuan saw that her dress was sticking to her body at the moment, outlining her still underdeveloped body, he blushed, and hurriedly took off his outer robe and draped it over her body before the others rushed over.
Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to Qi Xuan and smiled lightly at him, even though she was in such a mess now, her hair bun was scattered and her wet hair was sticking to her face, it was hard to hide the aura of her body.
With Su Qin Rou lying on the ground that miserable white want to do contrast, Mu Zi Yan performance is really too calm, she saw a lot of people rushed over, looked down at Su Qin Rou’s clothes and skirts are also messy, if this scene is seen, then her reputation is afraid of being ruined.
She got up in a hurry and blocked Su Qinruo’s body, seeing the latest Mu Lingxuan who rushed over, “Brother, tell them to stay away, and you tell your first cousin to go get a blanket.”
“Good.” Mu Lingxuan turned to look at the people who were gathering around and stood in front of him with Qi Xuan, blocking them out.
When the crowd saw this, they were first puzzled for a while, but when they saw Su Qinru, who was blocking the ground, they also understood Mu Lingxuan’s actions.
Qi Xue’er hurried over, and Qi Xuan whispered, “Go get a blanket.”
“I’ll go now.” Qi Xue’er turned around in a hurry, so she hurriedly went to get it.
Mu Zi Yan had her back to the crowd, half-kneeling in front of Su Qin Rou, blocking her in front of herself, so the crowd could only see Su Qin Rou’s soaked skirt and shoes and socks.
Mu Zi Yan saw Su Qin Rou drowning and fainting, she hurriedly pressed her hands on her chest and squeezed rhythmically, only until Su Qin Rou suddenly and violently coughed up water, she was relieved, and then she saw Qi Xue’er had already come over with a blanket.
Su Qinrou woke up quietly, raised her eyes and saw Mu Zi Yan, remembered the things that happened just now, and was so scared that she fell into Mu Zi Yan’s arms and cried.
Mu Zi Yan gently patted her back as Qi Xue’er half squatted and draped the blanket over her.
Mu Zi Yan whispered, “Alright, don’t cry, first go back to rest and change into clean clothes.”
“En.” Su Qinrou nodded her head sobbingly, but she grabbed Mu Zi Yan’s sleeve and wouldn’t let go.
Mu Zi Yan didn’t mind, she just wrapped the blanket around her body before looking at Qi Xue’er, “Have the palace maid prepare some ginger soup.”
“What happened” At this moment, an icy voice rang out, in the distance onlookers are getting more and more people, at this moment heard that voice, have backed up, kneeling on the ground.
“See you, Your Majesty,” the crowd shouted in respectful unison.
Mu Zi Yan turned around and helped the stunned Su Qin Rou to kowtow together, “My daughter sees the emperor.”
“What happened,” the emperor asked in a deep voice, seeing that the two kneeling on the ground were in a sorry state.
Su Qinrou was so scared that she could no longer speak, and just kept shedding tears.
Mu Zi smoke but not panic to open, “back to the emperor, but an accident, just now the subject daughter saw from afar that the lotus pool in the center of the white lotus bloomed, suddenly see a crane fell, will pull the two sisters to come to find out, did not expect to actually look at the eyes, even the white lotus is not far from the powdered lotus into the cranes, Sue sister does not believe it, said she clearly see is the crane, so it is closer to some, did not expect to slip, then lost his footing and jumped into the water to save her, but the water is not good, the two tossed, but the water is not good, the subjects of the two. Therefore, it is close to some, did not expect a slip, they lost their footing and fell into the water, my daughter in a hurry to jump into the lotus pool to save her, but I do not water is not good, the two tossed for a long time, which only climbed to the shore.”
“And how is she,” the emperor saw Mu Zi Yan said reasonably, see the two are also in a mess, turned his eyes and looked at the unconscious Hou Yi Yi lying on the ground, asked in a deep voice.
“Back to the Emperor, Yi Yi’s sister saw that both my daughter and I had fallen into the water, and she fainted from fear for a moment.” Mu Zi Yan calmly said, and then added, “Fortunately, Qi Shizi rushed here.”
Qi Xuan saw Mu Zi Yan handed the words to her, although she knew it was not an accident, but, see Mu Zi Yan said so, he can only go along with the opening, “Your Majesty, I heard the sound of the falling water before rushing over, then saw Miss Hou collapsed on the ground, Miss Mu is dragging Miss Su to swim to the shore, I’m not good at teal, a moment of urgency, then shouted. “
“That’s true, since it was an accident, come on people, why don’t you help the two young ladies to go down.” After hearing this, the emperor stopped pursuing the matter and said in a cold voice.
“Your Majesty, concubines see that this Eldest Miss Mu is a resourceful child.” A delicate voice came over, and all eyes fell on the owner of that voice.
She was dressed in a water-smoke colored palace dress, her beauty was unparalleled, and at the moment, she was holding a baby in her arms, standing at the side of the Emperor.
The emperor turned his eyes to look at the cloud consort, his face also eased a lot, lowered his head and glanced at Mu Zi Yan, just now Mu Zi Yan will Su Qin Rou save the shore after the rescue, methodical rescue situation he is to see in the eyes, the heart is also a plan.
Mu Zi Yan, however, hung her head low, her heart screaming that it was not good, and she did not know what this Consort Yun really meant!
Only until the emperor turned to leave, Mu Zi Yan only then raised his eyes, helping Su Qin Rou who had been frightened out of her wits to get up, “You ah, in the past the stock of savagery where to go.”
Su Qinrou saw that Mu Zi Yan was still counting her down by this time, the corner of her mouth bristled, “Who said I”
“Let’s go, this place is not suitable to stay for a long time.” Mu Zi Yan said softly, turning around, she saw the fainted Hou Yi Yi, handing Su Qin Rou over to Qi Xue Er, while she went forward to wake Hou Yi Yi up.
Hou Yi Yi slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw Mu Zi Yan, she hastily woke up, “Are you alright”
“It’s fine.” Mu Zi Yan’s heart warmed when she saw that Hou Yi Yi was concerned about her well-being when she woke up, and then helped her up, “Let’s go change into clean clothes first.”
“Good.” Hou Yi Yi nodded her head and replied, before leaving with Mu Zi Yan.
To be a few people line to the side of the hall, the courtesans have been in a row, and casually they wait for the maid was also called in, each changed clean clothes, re-makeup half, which is sitting in a place.
Only then did Su Qinruo slow down, turning her eyes to look at Mu Ziyan, thinking about the thrill of the right moment, she suddenly spat out a breath.
“I just saw a black shadow from the lotus pond ran away, you guess who I saw” Su Qin Rou hurriedly close to whispered.
Mu Zi Yan shook her head, “I don’t know”
“It’s Zhang Yirong.” Su Qinrou lowered her voice even more.
“What is she doing by the lotus pond” Mu Zi Yan asked carefully.
“I don’t know, I secretly followed, before I got close, a hand appeared behind me and covered my mouth, before I could react, I was thrown into the pool.” Su Qinrou looked at Mu Zi Yan and said.
Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, “This matter you and talk about it out, this day is the big day, the emperor since he does not want to see what bad things come, just now, if not I and Yi Yi sister went forward, you will certainly have an accident.”
“Could it be that someone deliberately lured me forward” Su Qinruo was not stupid, and immediately thought of this layer.
Mu Zi Yan nodded, “It should be, but we can’t rule out the possibility that it was done to a bystander, and you just happened to be the scapegoat.”
“Humph.” Su Qinruo this time recovered vitality, suddenly angry cold snort, where there is just now that shocked and pitiful appearance.
Seeing that her emotions came and went quickly, Mu Zi Yan couldn’t help but laugh lowly and say, “You are a broad-minded one.”
“Don’t make fun of me, if I knew who dared to backstab me, I would definitely pull out her skin.” Su Qinrou said hatefully.
Mu Zi Yan hooked her lips and smiled lightly, “Well, seeing that you are unhindered, I am also relieved, let’s get ready to get ready to go out, there are still lively things to see outside.”
“En.” Su Qinrou thought that if there was no Mu Zi Yan just now, she would have died, and she was naturally grateful to Mu Zi Yan.
When Mu Zi Yan walked out of the side hall, she saw Qi Xuan standing by and waiting.
She went up with a smile, “Cousin, I’ll have your robe sent to you after I have the maid pulp it.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Qi Xuan laughed lowly, “You’re fine, aren’t you?”
“No harm done.” Mu Zi Yan continued, “What happened just now was just the beginning, cousin, did you see anyone who wasn’t there just now?”
When Qi Xuan saw Mu Zi Yan say so, he then remembered and thought back carefully, “Rather don’t remember.”
“It seems that this matter is even more interesting.” Mu Zi Yan thought about the hands underwater, her eyes shattered with a cold light, then said, “I will catch the murderer.”
“Good.” Qi Xuan saw the ghostly light that flashed through Mu Zi Yan’s eyes, as well as the confidence that hooked up at the corners of her mouth, and he smiled gently along with it.
Su Qinrou, who was watching the real thing from the side, her eyes flashed with a touch of gloom, she then gathered her mood and lifted her steps to go forward.
If it was before, she would have been unconvinced and fought with Mu Zi Yan, but now she feels that even if she fights for some things, she is just asking for embarrassment.
A group of people went back, the palace banquet had already begun, Mu Zi Yan and the others took their seats in this way, Mu Zi Yan then sat down, turning her eyes to look at the old madam seated on the side, as well as Mu Zi Ruoxi and Mu Zi Lan beside her.
On the opposite side, there were the sons and daughters of various families, and sitting next to her brother was Mu Ling Rui, while she turned her eyes to the front, and saw the legendary County Lord Ming An.
She specially dressed up this day, appearance is not the best, but also not too bad, and Mu Zi Yan swept through the circle, but also did not see Lin An County Lord.
Mu Zi Yan secretly pondered, this Lin’an county princess is not going to come together this kind of hilarity, so it does not really care.
Mu Zi Ruoxi looked at Mu Zi Yan, seeing her pondering, her eyes flashed with a flash of calculation, the hand that raised the wine glass accidentally slipped, and the wine spilled onto the hem of Mu Zi Yan’s skirt.
“Big sister, I didn’t do it on purpose.” Mu Zi Ruoxi’s eyes were glistening with tears as she looked at Mu Zi Yan in a pitiful manner, hastily pulling out a silk handkerchief and wiping it off for her.
Not far away, Hou Yiyi and Su Qinruo naturally saw this scene, and when Mu Zixi began to play soft again, the two of them glanced at each other, apparently now very tired of this Mu Zixi.
Mu Zi Ruoxi’s voice was not too big, not too small, and the crowd wasn’t deaf, it was a lively time at the moment, but they suddenly heard this kind of abrupt sound, so all their eyes fell on Mu Zi Yan’s body.
Only then did Mu Zi Yan come back to her senses, turning her eyes to look at Mu Zi Ruoxi’s aggrieved expression, she was silent, while Mu Zi Ruoxi was even more terrified and kept shedding tears, that look so pitiful in the eyes of the crowd.
Mu Zi Yan didn’t know what Mu Zi Ruoxi was up to with all this commotion did she want the onlookers to see how she was bullying her sister
“Big sister, I really didn’t mean it.” Mu Zixi cried more and more this time, making people look at her more and more intolerantly.
Mu Zi Yan pulled out the silk handkerchief from her bosom, sighed quietly, and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, “Second sister, your body is already delicate, the injury on your hand is not yet healed, since you can’t hold the cup steadily, but it’s just that the wine was spilled, and it’s just that it’s a clean one to replace it, so you don’t need to blame yourself.”
Mu Zi Yan’s voice everywhere with concern, on the sidelines at first also dissatisfied with Mu Zi Yan did not say a word, and now see her so say, the people can not help but sigh that this Mu Miss young age will be this kind of understanding, if it is a few more years, it must be more and more out of the ordinary.
Mu Zixi looked at her blankly at this time, knowing that this plan would not work, so she suddenly lowered her eyes and stopped speaking.
Mu Zi Yan just now in the words but there are two meanings, as a young lady of the family, the whole day child crying like what appearance another meaning is that Mu Zi Ruoxi body is weak is just that, but the arm has a wound that is the hand is disabled how can this be done!
The family choose daughter-in-law standard is very strict, and as the family’s main mother, since it will not do heavy work, but also is not pampered, especially the hands of the strength of nature to have, after all, the daily service to the in-laws, but also to serve tea, at the side of the cloth dishes, everything to be hands-on, so weak and waste of the arm of the person, naturally, is not the standard of the various families to choose a daughter-in-law.
Mu Zi Ruoxi for a while before she came back to her senses, but it was too late, she was purely lifting a stone and hitting her own feet, not only did she not ruin Mu Zi Yan’s reputation, but instead, she was lightly a few words, and ruined her own reputation.
She was suddenly secretly annoyed, but she didn’t dare to get angry.
Mu Zi Lan, who sat quietly on the sidelines, had the corner of her mouth hooked up in mockery, only feeling that Mu Zi Ruoxi was doing so only to bring shame upon herself.
The process of the palace banquet is the same, first the congratulations, and then the talent of each family in order to cheer up.
At this time, often the most nervous and happy is the various families to be in the boudoir of the young lady, which is also able to show their talents in front of their favorite family, in the words of that world, this is actually a lively blind date.
She had no feelings for this kind of banquet, she was just waiting for something exciting to happen, she did not go to change her clothes and dresses, instead, she sat on the seat and was watching with interest as the young ladies of the various families displayed their talents.
And right at this moment, the palace maid beside her who had not poured wine for her suddenly handed a note in her palm, and then retreated to the side.
The corner of Mu Zi Yan’s mouth hooked up an evil smile, but it was fleeting, lowering his eyes to open the note, he saw that it was written, “Plum Garden.”
She raised an eyebrow faintly, and as she glanced back, she saw that the courtesan who had handed her the note had already disappeared, and as she slowly got up, she left on her own.
Mu Zi Yan was undoubtedly attracting a lot of attention, and now although most of the eyes were on the young ladies of the families who were performing on the stage, some people still noticed Mu Zi Yan’s movements.
Leng Hanfeng has always seemed to have a gaze fell on her body, but, this girl has never looked at him a glance, thinking about these days, he always think of her from time to time, that day waving the whip to whip him, has always haunted the heart lingering.
This was something that Leng Hanfeng had never had before, and he attributed it to the fact that the more you can’t get, the best you can get.
If one day he conquered her, he would no longer hold her in his heart.
At this moment, Mu Ziyan was slowly walking along the long corridor, slowly walking towards the plum garden behind the storage pavilion.
