Chapter 091 – Cane Zhong Xuan (Second Shift) (2 / 2)
by Jessie@AFNCC“Yes.” Sister Lu hurriedly lowered her eyes and kept quiet, but her heart had already set off shockwaves.
Zhang leaned back on the soft couch, “Nowadays, if you want to live, it is to leave this place of wrongdoing as soon as possible.”
“Then there’s no contest,” Sister Lu felt that her ladyship had worked so hard for so long, but in the end, she had lost the battle.
Zhang’s sneered, “What’s the point of arguing”
Sister Lu whispered, “Marquis.”
“Life is important, or this is not your seat in the first place is important, you think the old lady so elevated the old master is for what, the old master is just a stepping stone, until the time of uselessness, we still have a way to live” Zhang’s sullen voice said.
“Then young master and old madam” Sister Lu continued.
Zhang laughed coldly, “He should hone and hone, and when the time comes to suffer, he will know who is best for him.”
“What should we do in case something happens to the young master” Sister Lu continued.
“Something happened” Zhang felt that she should be crazy, and do not have to think about these annoying things, but she was not willing, why should she be used as a pawn, by the old lady to use, by Mu Qingran to use, and in the end was also used by their own sons and daughters!
Her eyes were slightly glazed, “Then he deserved it.”
“Madam, don’t worry, the old slave will stay by your side.” Sister Lu said as she looked at Zhang Clan heartily.
Zhang leaned into Sister Lu’s arms, “Sister Lu, you’re all I have around me.”
Mu Zi Yan, after the morning’s fuss, when she went to the Jiyue Courtyard, she saw Qi looking at her with a smile on her face.
“Mother.” Mu Zi Yan went forward to greet her before sitting beside Qi.
“Smokey ah.” Qi touched Mu Zi Yan’s cheek and looked at her lovingly.
Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “Mother, but you miss your daughter.”
“Yes, my daughter has finally grown up.” Qi held Mu Zi Yan in her arms, “In the future, if you run into such barbaric things again, feel free to beat them.”
The corner of Mu Zi Yan’s mouth was slightly skewed, this was really blunt, but she liked it.
“Mother, don’t worry, my daughter is definitely not that kind of son to be bullied.” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile.
“En.” Qi naturally knows what happened in the palace last night, and then said, “Mother knows that you have your own mind and ideas, mother will not stop you, if you have any hardships despite saying with mother.”
“Mother.” Mu Zi Yan was glad to be Qi’s daughter.
Qi has never been a mother who is too disciplined to bind her children, thanks to the teachings of the Elder Duchess of State, so, compared to the main mothers of other families, she does indulge a lot, but she also spoils her children.
When Mu Zi Yan came back from Qi’s courtyard, she saw Yun Xiang walking over, “Eldest Miss, Elder Zhang is here.”
“The action is really fast.” Mu Zi Yan estimated the time and also came over at this time, it seems that Zhang Zong didn’t delay for a moment and went straight to Marquis Mu’s mansion after getting off the morning court.
“Missy, but you are going to greet” Rue Xiang asked in a low voice.
“Brother can come back,” Mu Zi Yan then asked.
“Eldest Young Master has yet to return to the residence.” Yunxiang looked at Mu Ziyan before saying, “Eldest Miss, what do you think Elder Zhang said above the court”
“According to his nature, he must have been outspoken, and then in front of the entire court, he scolded Marquis Zhong to death, and then presented the evidence.” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile.
“It’s just that the slave girl didn’t figure out what that evidence actually was” Yun Xiang asked in disbelief.
“It’s a letter Zhong Hui wrote to her brother.” Mu Zi Yan whispered.
“The slave girl understands.” Yunxiang was not in a position to ask more questions, and then said, “That dossier within the dossier room”
“Senior Zhang ordered someone to secretly move the place early in the morning, therefore, what was burned inside was nothing more than some used handwritten notes.” Mu Zi Yan continued.
“I see, then Marquis Zhong was afraid that his face was not pretty.” Yun Xiang thought about how Marquis Zhong was afraid that he would be so scared that he would kneel down on the spot after the act that he did at that time was revealed.
Mu Zi Yan laughed, “If you want to know, go ask Elder Zhang in a while.”
Yunxiang laughed lowly and said, “The slave girl wouldn’t dare, that face of Lord Zhang is creepy from afar.”
Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “Let’s go out, Marquis Zhong has planted a big head this time, it’s time to settle things here.”
“Yes.” Yunxiang answered in a low voice, and then she followed Mu Zi Yan out of the courtyard.
Bi Yun rushed over, “Eldest Miss, Fourth Miss was taken away by Elder Zhang.”
“Take away” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows, “Is he trying to make a scene”
“Make a scene,” Mu Zi Yan was stunned.
“Not bad, making a scene.” Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “Let’s go, go to the Yamen and take a look.”
“Yamen” Now Yunxiang and Bi Yun looked at each other, “If this matter is brought to the Yamen, the reputation of the Marquis’ House will be ruined.”
“The left is only the second house of the matter, and I have nothing to do with” Mu Zi Yan but is a faint smile, “just can deter that back ground black hand.”
“Yes.” Yunxiang and Bi Yun then followed Mu Zi Yan and left.
Inside the Long Pine Courtyard, because Zhang Zong came too suddenly and held the Emperor’s imperial decree in his hand, even though she had the intention to delay, she was unable to do anything about it, so she watched as Zhang Zong brought people to break into the Long Pine Courtyard and took Mu Zi Lan directly away in front of her.
From Sister looked at Old Madame, “Old Madame, Fourth Miss is afraid that this time”
“This Zhang Zong really is not even a trace of mercy.” The old madam’s eyes sank, obviously miscalculated, if she didn’t make a big deal out of it, she wouldn’t have to invite Zhang Zong, and Mu Zi Lan wouldn’t have to be lost like this.
The old lady whispered, “It’s just that, everything is her making.”
“Old madam, Aunt Su is kneeling outside.” Magpie reported in a low voice.
“Let her go back, there is nothing I can do about this.” The old lady said in a cold voice.
“Yes.” Magpie answered and then retired.
Not to mention the Marquis of Mu this place, Zhang Zong directly broke into the Marquis of Mu, took the person back to the government office after the court, Marquis Zhong in the Golden Palace, was Zhang Zong public reprimand, he scolded not to mention the blood of the dog, but also the evidence presented to the emperor, justified, can not afford to deny him.
The emperor was furious, publicly reprimanded twenty canes, ordered him to close the door for four months, no decree, may not enter the palace.
This kind of chastisement, for the Marquis of Zhong but never had, because of the status of Princess Huifei in the harem, the Marquis of Zhong has been considered like a fish out of water, never like this moment this kind of loss of face, and also was crowned with bold, malicious hat, the Marquis of Zhong anger can not be uncovered, received a plate, directly carried back to the Marquis of Zhong.
Zhong Xuan had gotten the news since then, she had not expected Zhang Zong to have this trick, she knew that there must be someone behind this, Zhang Zong’s nature, definitely could not think of such a cunning method.
“Mu Zi Yan Mu Zi Yan it’s you again” Zhong Xuan only then after carefully thinking over all the things, her eyes shattered with thick killing intent and she growled lowly.
Marquis Zhong lost face at the court, after returning to his house, he ordered Zhong Xuan to be summoned out, he received twenty slaps, how can he let the culprit get away with it, so immediately, without any explanation, he hit Zhong Xuan forty slaps.
Zhong Xuan, even in the manor, had never suffered such humiliation, yet she was able to endure, knowing that she could not move Marquis Zhong at this time, so she pressed this humiliation to her heart, and was weakly and powerlessly carried back to the house.
Since then, the Zhong Hou House is completely calm down, a short period of time there is no longer any movement, but the flame of revenge in Zhong Xuan’s heart burns more and more exuberant, she asked herself all the plans are perfect, why was Mu Zi Yan repeatedly destroyed!
She took a deep breath, knowing that she wasn’t capable of enough these days, and she had to endure, and endure again
Mu Zi Yan rushed to the Beijing Zhaoyin Yamen, outside the lobby has been surrounded by the people, the capital is the most lively is to see the ascension of Lord Zhang, therefore, the people heard the sound of beating drums, they have heard the wind, have rushed over, and now are whispering about it.
Mu Zi Yan entered the back hall of the courthouse from the side door and went to Niangzi Lu’s house.
Niangzi Lu was about to leave the hall, when she saw her coming, she smiled and spoke, “Sister Smokey is here to see the fun”
“En.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and responded, “This kind of hustle and bustle is something to see since.”
“Aren’t you afraid that the reputation of the Marquis Mu Mansion will be ruined by this” Niangzi Lu said with a smile.
“Not afraid.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, “Good things don’t come out of doors, bad things spread a thousand miles, the Mu Houfu still has a good reputation”
Niangzi Lu liked Mu Zi Yan’s such a frank nature, in fact, she was open-minded, however, Niangzi Lu could see that she had her own unspeakable pain, which is why she hid her nature.
Mu Zi Yan went out with Niangzi Lu and saw Zhang Zong standing in front of her in his official robes with a dignified appearance, she nodded her head slightly, “Elder Zhang really lives up to his name.”
“Ms. Mu, this just came and then joked about me.” Zhang Zong and Mu Zi Yan were now considered to be familiar with each other, so there was no need for that official politeness, gradually speaking without an official tone.
Mu Zi Yan smiled and spoke, “How dare you”
Zhang Zong gave a rare smile before saying, “Ms. Mu please.”
Mu Zi Yan, however, also pretended to get up, sideways and slightly blessed, “It’s better for Senior Zhang to please first”
Niangzi Lu’s eyes jumped as she watched from the sidelines, and she hurriedly stepped forward to hold Mu Zi Yan’s hand, “Alright, I’ll go first please.”
Zhang Zong’s face was slightly embarrassed, and then he followed the two of her into the public hall together.
His face was solemn, and he sat on top of the public hall with a cold face, then picked up the driftwood and knocked it hard, saying in a deep voice, “Raise the hall.”
The magistrates on both sides of the court held the board in their hands and banged it hard, shouting in unison, “Mighty.”
Mu Zi Yan and Niangzi Lu both sat at the back of the public hall on one side of the screen, since they were able to see the situation inside the public hall clearly.
It was the first time she had been to a public court, and she had seen it when she was wandering, but not as tangibly as this, and her eyes flashed with a flash of flashy light, and she watched with a smile at the corners of her mouth, grinning.
Niangzi Lu was used to seeing this, and seeing Mu Ziyan so interested, she asked with a smile, “But you think it’s very impressive.”
“Indeed majestic.” Mu Zi Yan concurred.
Nyx whispered, “That’s why I’m going to be a coroner.”
“Sister Lu, do you like Elder Zhang,” Mu Zi Yan suddenly asked.
Nyx Lui answered softly, “En.”
When Mu Zi Yan saw that she answered so readily, and remembered the end of the two of them in her previous life, she couldn’t help but sigh, and in this life, she would definitely not let the two of them be separated.
Lady Lu turned her eyes to look at her, “You’re still young, you’ll understand later.”
The corner of Mu Zi Yan’s mouth a skim, this rebirth back to this age is the advantage ah, play young pretend stupid, pretend naive handy, anyway, she is still small, do not understand those love love.
Mu Zi Yan feel since since reborn, it seems that the whole person is relaxed, for the hatred of the previous life, she must be reported, but, what she wants more is to live well in this life, more than anyone else to live a wonderful life, in order to live up to the years.
When Niangzi Lu saw her staring at herself and wandering off, she raised her hand and knocked on her head, “Being lost in thought again, I really don’t know, at your young age, where do you have so many ghostly thoughts”
Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “Times make heroes.”
Niangzi Lu has been with Mu Zi Yan for a long time, and her nature is not as dull as it used to be, snickering, “Are you shy or not yet a hero”
Mu Zi Yan took a few steps backward, then made a gesture to mark, “Like it or not”
Niangzi Lu couldn’t help but laugh, stepping forward and tugging at her, “If you’re like this, when the onlookers see you, they definitely won’t know that you’re the eldest young lady of the Marquis of Mu’s residence, looking like a shrewish monkey.”
Mu Zi Yan snorted coldly, “I think it’s good.”
When Niangzi Lu saw Mu Zi Yan like this, she also knew that she was definitely a protective one, treating her favorite people, she could pour her heart into them, and for her enemies, she would definitely not be soft, such a person, too direct, but Niangzi Lu liked it.
Mu Zi Yan probably didn’t know that she had won the heart of Niangzi Lu with this whimsical and playful behavior this day, otherwise, she would have offered her treasures to remember a few more dances, which would have been even more perfect.
Mu Ziyan and Niangzi Lu were talking and laughing behind the screen, while the public hall was filled with a morose coldness, and the guillotine blade placed on the side was frightening to look at, Zhang Zong said in a deep voice, “Bring the prisoners.”
“Yes.” The magistrate on the side led the order and turned to leave.
Not long after, they saw Mu Zi Lan was brought up with her head hanging low, she raised her eyes to look at Zhang Zong sitting in front of her, and then looked to this public hall that was permeated with fear, she knelt down on the ground in fear and didn’t dare to make a sound.
She couldn’t understand, one moment she was the fourth miss of the Marquis Mu, how come she was now a prisoner!
“My lord, my little daughter is wronged ah” Mu Zi Lan quickly woke up and raised her voice to cry out for injustice.
As Mu Zi Yan listened, she couldn’t help but think of the time she saw that scene and couldn’t help but turn the corner of her mouth, “This has become a subtext.”
“What,” Nyx Lui asked in disbelief.
“Oh, I mean, how come the first sentence of every human prisoner kneeling down is to cry out for injustice.” Mu Zi Yan said rather uninterestedly.
Nyx Lui laughed lowly, “It’s instinct.”
“Rather.” Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly, then sized up Mu Zi Lan, at a young age, she was able to disembowel Aunt Li, such a means, spare her, in her previous life, she was afraid that she would not be able to do it.
Niangzi Lu whispered, “Your Mu family’s young ladies are all formidable.”
Mu Zi Yan laughed, “Naturally, otherwise, how could she have been brought here.”
Nyonya Lu guffawed, “You girl, you have a great mouth.”
“I’m just telling the truth.” Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to look at Niangzi Lu, “Sister Lu, this sister of mine is not simple.”
“Yes.” Lady Lu whispered, “It’s just that I don’t understand how she could do something so cruel”
“Once a person has stored up evil thoughts, they will lose their normality, what she did was just to completely explode the evil thoughts within her.” Mu Zi Yan was like an old monk in meditation at the moment.
Niangzi Lu looked at her and laughed, “You girl, sometimes you’re as pure as a pool of clear water, and sometimes you’re as deep as a pool of stagnant water.”
Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly, “So that it won’t be easily seen through.”
“Yeah, it’s always the human heart that can’t be seen through.” Niang Lu’s heart sighed.
Mu Zi Yan knows that Lu Maiden is also a person with a story, but at this moment, but is not the time to talk about the heart to tell the past, wait for another day, the heart disease still need to heart medicine, perhaps, she and Zhang Daoren separate, is stored in the bitter feelings it.
Zhang Zong saw Mu Zi Lan crying out for justice, and without changing his color, he coldly said, “On the day of the crime, where were you?”
Mu Zi Lan whispered back, “My daughter has been in her own courtyard and has not left, my daughter’s maidservant can testify to this.”
“Wrong, your maidservant is your accomplice, so how can she testify,” Zhang Zong said in a deep voice, “Men, bring the people here.”
“Yes.” The magistrate then answered, and in a short while, he saw two people being escorted in, followed by two corpses.
Seeing this, Mu Zi Lan hurriedly suppressed the panic in her heart and knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound.
Zhang Zong pointed at the two corpses and said, “One is the maid next to Aunt Li, Green Bud, and the other is the maid next to the Second Lady, Cai Yun.”
“Do you recognize these two,” Zhang Zong asked in a cold voice.
Mu Zi Lan raised her eyes and looked at the maid and granny beside her, as well as the two corpses that had already decomposed placed aside, and said in a low voice, “My daughter recognizes it.”
“You unruly granny, why don’t you tell us the truth.” Zhang Zong pointed at the kneeling granny and snapped.
“Reporting back to the Grand Master, the old slave doesn’t know anything.” That granny quickly kowtowed and said in a low voice.
The maid beside her, Mu Xin, also hastened to chime in, “Reporting back to the Grand Master, the slave girl knows nothing.”
Seeing the two of them like this, Mu Zi Lan was slightly relieved and raised her eyes to look at Zhang Zong, “My lord, my daughter doesn’t know what has happened”
“This official will let the fourth young miss know exactly what happened this day.” Zhang Zong’s face sank, then he picked up the physical evidence laid out on the side and looked coldly at Mu Zi Lan, saying in a deep voice, “This was found on Green Bud’s body.”
