Chapter 098: Rebirth by Fire (2 / 2)

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, then saw Bai Xuan drop down, “Master, these assassins can’t be traced to their origins.”

“No harm done.” Mu Zi Yan looked to Bai Xuan, “All go back.”

“Yes.” Bai Xuan didn’t dare to hesitate, so he led the people and disappeared into the night.

Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to look at the slowly moving boat not far away, the corner of her mouth hooked up with an evil smile, turning her eyes to look at them, “We can’t go back to the mansion tonight, wait for tomorrow morning and then go back.”

“It can only be so.” Now that it was getting late, and such a big thing had happened on the lake, Zhang Zong had his hands full again, and they could not return now.

After docking, Yunxiang and Bi Yun rushed over, “Missy, are you alright”

“There’s no harm in me, what about them” Mu Zi Yan asked in a low voice.

“Eldest Cousin Miss has taken Eldest Miss Hou with Eldest Miss Su, and Miss Lu has gone to the mansion not far away.” Yun Xiang whispered back.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded, “Then we will also go to the mansion to rest for the night.”

“Yes, slave girl leads the way.” Yunxiang hurriedly replied, and then carried the lantern and walked ahead.

Mu Zi Yan walked on the grass, lifting her eyes to look at the stars in the sky, her body dress was stained with dust, and there was some black ash on her cheeks, but the corners of her mouth always hung a quiet smile, and she took a deep breath, “It’s already Zi Zi Hour, isn’t it?”

“Eldest Miss, it’s just past the hour.” Rue Xiang whispered.

“En.” The corner of Mu Zi Yan’s mouth smiled more and more brightly, after crossing the age of ten, the road ahead will definitely be even more wonderful.

She knew that she was considered completely reborn, that she was really alive, literally.

When everyone saw Mu Zi Yan smiling brightly, Qi Xuan asked in a low voice, “Cousin has thought of something.”

Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to Qi Xuan and smiled shallowly, “Once the Zi Hour passes, I will be eleven, naturally I am happy, so I can know that a great disaster will have a blessing later.”

“Rather, it looks like there will be some celebrating tonight.” The chapter staffer chimed in.

“How about leaving it for next time.” Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “Leave it for my birthday next year.”

“Good.” The four responded in unison.

Mu Zi Yan feel happy at this moment, the previous life since the age of ten, she has no friends, no relatives, thought to find a good man, but also a jackal, she struggled through life, and finally ended up in that miserable end, but this life, she stepped over the age of ten, across the road to her brand new life.

She had family, she had friends, and she would hold on to the happiness that was right in front of her and never allow anyone to destroy it.

To enter the mansion, Qi Xue’er got the news, has been waiting for her outside the mansion, see her to come, rushed to meet the front, just now the composure of the strong pressure at the moment collapsed, and hastily fell in Mu Zi Yan’s arms and cried.

Qi Yu’er also followed forward and tugged on Mu Zi Yan’s sleeve, “Eldest cousin, you’re finally back.”

Mu Zi Jing looked at Qi Yu Er in front of her, the hurt in her heart seemed to be cheaply subsiding, she raised her hand and touched Qi Yu Er’s cheeks that were covered in tears from crying, and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

“En.” Qi Yu’er nodded her head.

“I knew you girls were blessed with a great life.” Nyonya Lu stepped forward and looked at her, her eyes reddening.

She knew that in that situation just now, they were all frozen on the spot, not knowing what to do, the whole person was confused, but it was in that situation, Mu Zi Yan was the first to consider their safety, and sent them out unharmed.

Hou Yi Yi and Su Qin Rou two people came forward also surrounded Mu Zi Yan, this time, the four people behind them will be completely ignored, many times, they have been numb, in front of the responsibility of the world family, affection, brotherhood and what is it?

All they have to do is to make their own family prosperity, then they have to be careful with their words, thinking of how to calculate, how to get the most benefits, but often so, they become more and more lonely, that is a kind of emptiness and confusion from the heart, they do not know the people around them is a few percent of the truth, do not know, the next moment, they will be around who died.

Mu Zi Yan is of course aware of these pains, so the previous life of the Mu Houfu gave her the happiest time, father, mother, brother, they gave her the best things, but did not teach her to recognize the human heart, did not teach her how to face the pain and tribulations.

She took one step at a time to the final end of her life, and in that moment, it was the good old days before she was ten that she still missed.

She had family and friends then as she does now.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked at them, “Go inside, if you keep crying, you won’t be able to see anyone tomorrow.”

Qi Xue’er saw Mu Zi Yan snickering at her and hurriedly sobbed and wiped the tearstains at the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief, “Eldest cousin, go inside and hurry up to get rid of the bad luck.”

“That’s right.” Mu Zi Yan laughed and pulled Qi Xue’er’s hand, and the few of them talked and laughed their way back to the mansion.

Chapter Staffer looked at the women in front of him and turned his eyes to Qi Xuan and Mu Lingxuan, “Rather nostalgic for our childhood days.”

Qi Xuan said in a warm voice, “When did you also become this emotional”

“Moved.” The chapter reporter turned his eyes to Qi Xuan, “Let’s go, tomorrow at the court, I’m afraid it will cause another storm, you and I must think of something to say.”

Mu Lingxuan looked at them, “Tell the truth, this kind of thing can’t be hidden.”

“That’s true.” Qi Xuan responded, and then said, “I’m afraid that tonight, there will be quite a few people who can’t sleep at night again.”

Staffer smiled with him, and the four of them returned to the mansion together.

Mu Ziyan washed up, changed into a clean dress, went to the hall, then saw all the people also changed clothes, because of the things just now, but all the people are not sleepy, so they just sit in a chat.

“Oops, is that turntable also burned” Su Qinrou said with a start.

“Burn it, I’ll just make another one, don’t worry, you won’t get any less.” Mu Zi Yan picked up the tea, sipped lightly and said with a smile.

“But it’s a pity.” Su Qinrou sighed quietly.

“Elder cousin, this night is the matter of what people do” Qi Xue’er but always can not let go of the heart, thinking of the capital, there is such a bold person, openly murder.

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “You girl, you don’t need to worry about this matter, everything is up to Elder Zhang.”

Zhang Zong hung his eyes, but he was in deep thought.

Chaplaincy looked up at them, “How about telling something interesting.”

“Yes, why think about that kind of bad luck.” Su Qinrou hurriedly agreed, and then looked at Zhang Staffer, “Zhang Shizi, I know that you came uninvited this morning.”

Chapter Staffer blushed and laughed lowly, “Just here to join in the fun.”

“I didn’t realize that the always cold and aloof Zhang Shi Zi also has the habit of being lively.” Su Qinrou was considered to have no cover at the moment, and immediately poked fun at Staffer Zhang.

Staffer was a bit overwhelmed for a moment, he had always been indifferent when dealing with women, and it was rare for him to be flirted with like this.

Mu Zi Yan saw Zhang Staffer’s embarrassed face and hooked her lips in a shallow smile, “Cousin Zhang did me a great favor yesterday, so I invited him over.”

Qi Xuan raised his eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, seeing her rounding up for Staffer Zhang, and then said, “Cousin, I also helped out yesterday, how should you thank me”

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows, remembering the jasper xiao, fortunately, she later let Yun Xiang put it away, if it was really burned, it would really be a pity.

She looked Qi Xuan up and down and turned her eyes back to Su Qinru, “I wonder what cousin wants”

“Cousin just now that dance, can you dance again in the future” Qi Xuan asked with a smile.

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan readily agreed.

Qi Xue’er looked at Qi Xuan, and then at Mu Zi Yan, “Eldest cousin, the next time we dance, I’m going to enjoy it from the sidelines as well.”

“No way.” Qi Xuan flatly refused.

The corner of Qi Xue’er’s mouth turned to look at Mu Zi Yan.

Mu Zi Yan laughed, “Since I have already answered cousin, I will be arranged by cousin.”

Qi Xue’er’s eyes moved slightly as she laughed extraordinarily cheerfully, “Eldest cousin, what if cousin asks you to dance for him alone”

“Why not” Mu Zi Yan has always kept her word, since she promised Qi Xuan, if he asks for this, she will dance again alone.

Once Qi Xuan heard this, he slightly narrowed his eyes, a touch of warmth crossed the low of his eyes, and the corners of his mouth held a tenderness that couldn’t be melted.

Commenting on Mu Ziyan’s quick words, she wondered if she really didn’t see it, or if she just didn’t care.

However, she is now only eleven years old, has not yet reached the age of love, naturally did not think of this place, so it will be promised, think of this place, he is also happy, there are two years, she will be maturity, the days are still early it, slowly come on.

Mu Zi Yan did not know that she had already been unintentionally targeted by Qi Xuan and Zhang Staffer.

The people will be so chatting, the atmosphere is very good, and so after the third watch, everyone is still not yet finished, Mu Zi Yan then got up, “official robes I let Yunxiang commanded down, think the scribe have brought over, brother, cousin, Zhang cousin, Zhang adults, why not take a nap, and so on the fourth watch of the preparations, and then go to the court.”

Amazing country on the court of the rules are numerous, on the court is to be named and searched, and can not be late, but where there is late, in the court gags, the punishment of salary canes is light, heavy more will lose their official position, therefore, Mu Zi Yan see them now is still very spiritual, remembered to wait for the early morning things to come, then said in a low voice.

Mu Lingxuan also felt that it was time to take a nap, so he nodded slightly and then got up, “I’ll go take a break.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly.

Seeing this, Qi Xuan and Staffer Zhang also got up, and Zhang Zong followed and left together.

Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to look at Qi Yu Er who was also even yawning, she smiled and said, “All go rest.”

“What about you, First Cousin” Qi Xue’er saw that she seemed to have no sleepiness.

“I still have some things to do, you go rest yourself.” Mu Zi Yan smiled back and raised her eyes to see Su Qin Rou and Hou Yi Yi, “The two younger sisters also go and rest.”

“Good.” Su Qinruo reacted quickly, seeing Mu Ziyan say so, she thought it must be that she had something to deal with, so she pulled Hou Yi Yi out of the hall.

Qi Xue’er also held Qi Yu’er’s hand and went out.

Yunxiang came forward and reported, “Eldest Miss, the old madam has taken Third Miss back to the Marquis.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, “Since I’ve taken her back, I’d like to see how much she’s improved.”

“The second miss went to look for the third miss, the two of them talked in the house for a while before the second miss came out.” Yunxiang continued, “The slave girl looked, the second young miss is still not dead.”

“Let her bounce around for a few days.” Mu Zi Yan whispered, “It’s too unsettling, and I won’t keep it to shake my eyes.”

“Eldest Miss, you guessed correctly, it is indeed Second Miss Zhong, and Lord Leng inside that ship.” Yunxiang continued, “Eldest Miss, this Second Miss Zhong is also too venomous, she even dared to make a move against you this night.”

“She still has more tricks up her sleeve.” Mu Zi Yan sneered, “Tonight is just her first step.”

“The third prince’s side consort slipped a fetus.” Yunxiang bowed her head back, “is heard of the death of Cui two miss, too sad, so it slipped, the third prince learned, is now accompanying her.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, “Cui Yunshi slipped her pregnancy, something that was expected.”

“Eldest Miss, could it be that the Third Prince’s Side Consort” Yunxiang asked doubtfully when she heard Mu Zi Yan say so.

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “As long as I’m not involved, what does it matter to me if she slips”

“It’s the slave girl who was too talkative.” Yunxiang hurriedly hung her head and returned.

“No harm done.” Mu Zi Yan spoke in a low voice, “Zhong Xuan gave me such a great gift, wouldn’t it be rude of me if I didn’t return it.”

“Eldest Miss, feel free to command.” Yun Xiang followed suit with her eyes shining brightly.

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “The Zhong family is not a brick wall, I don’t believe I can’t insert myself.”

“Eldest Miss, have you thought of a method” Yunxiang asked carefully when she saw Mu Zi Yan say so.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan then attached her ear, and when Yun Xiang heard it, the corner of her mouth hooked up in a faint smile, “Eldest Miss, the slave girl will definitely do it.”

“Go.” Mu Zi Yan gave a shallow smile, then she saw Bi Yun come with ginseng tea.

This is a private residence of the State Duke’s House, once in a while, so there are only a few guards in the mansion, and there are not many ingredients in the back kitchen, Mu Zi Yan got up, “Go to the back kitchen and take a look.”

“Eldest Miss, you can’t go to that place.” Bi Yun said in a hurry.

“What can’t go to this is also common affairs, must be dealt with in the future.” Mu Zi Yan knows that in this world, a woman must be married, and for her, this life, she only want to choose a wholeheartedly treat her well, the two can live comfortably.

Bi Yun hurriedly hung her head, “The slave girl knows her mistakes.”

Mu Zi Yan also just faintly raised his eyebrows, then raised his foot to the back kitchen, the cook has already woken up, see Mu Zi Yan came, quickly saluted, “Old slave has seen the eldest cousin miss.”

“Don’t need to be too complicated, simple light porridge and small dishes is, yesterday I had wine, if there is honey and lotus root, you can make a stuffed lotus root.” Mu Zi Yan faintly ordered.

“Yes, First Cousin Miss.” The cook answered, and then went about her business.

Mu Zi Yan turned around and went back to the hall, the time is almost up, so he ordered Yunxiang to go and call them, Qi Xue’er, they are still sleeping heavily, so he saw Mu Lingxuan, Qi Xuan, Zhang Staffer and Zhang Zong stepped into the hall.

Mu Zi Yan saw that several of them were in high spirits, then smiled and said, “Let’s eat breakfast before leaving.”

“Sister is so sweet, I can’t bear to see you marrying out.” Mu Lingxuan said with a smile, not forgetting to glance at Qi Xuan and Zhang Staffer behind him.

The two silent, five people will sit in one place, quietly with breakfast, not like the past with big fish and meat, greasy, but instead of clear porridge and small dishes, eat up very appetizing.

Mu Zi Yan then said, “Eating too greasy in the morning is not good for the body instead, yesterday I ate wine, since it is difficult to eat something lighter is better.”

This was also said before the meal started, and when the five had used it, the four of them, Mu Lingxuan, went out of the mansion and went to the morning court together.

Mu Zi Yan went back to the guest room, leaning on the soft couch for a nap, to wait until dawn, Qi Xue’er and others also woke up in turn, the people together and gathered in one place to chat for a long time, until after lunch, only reluctantly to return to their homes.

Mu Zi Yan back to the Marquis of Mu, since it is to go to Qi’s place, last night’s matter, where can hide, so, Mu Zi Yan let Yunxiang sent a letter back, otherwise, Qi’s afraid of a night of peace.

Seeing Mu Zi Yan come back in one piece, Qi was relieved, and then held her hand, “Who in the world is going to do this to you”

Mu Zi Yan whispered, “Daughter doesn’t know either.”

Qi snorted coldly, “Truly damned”

Mu Zi Yan hurriedly stepped forward to give Qi to smooth the gas, “Mother, you do not want to be angry, the younger brother in the stomach heard, later come out every day shouting to fight and kill how to.”

“You girl, you have a broad heart.” Qi lovingly touched Mu Zi Yan’s cheek, “If Mother knew who dared to make a move against you, Mother would definitely skin him.”

Qi did not expect that under the feet of the Son of Heaven, there were still people who dared to be so tyrannical, so it seemed that she would have to be more wary in the future as well.

“Smokey, what’s going on with you and Mr. Chu from the Hot Springs Manor,” Qi asked as she looked down at Mu Zi Yan.

“Mother, if I tell you, you can’t tell the others.” Mu Zi Yan said carefully.

“You just say it.” Qi saw Mu Zi Yan’s serious face, so she said with a straight face.

“This Duke Chu is the Divine Healer Sect Master, Master’s Senior Brother, and my daughter calls him Senior Uncle.” Mu Zi Yan said softly.

“No wonder.” Qi now understood the reason for this, it turned out to be a senior uncle, that is since to help each other.

Mu Zi Yan saw Qi put her heart down and said with a light smile, “Mother, this matter and can’t let outsiders know, it’s a matter of life and death.”
