Chapter 102: Death-defying Zhang Yihuan (1 / 2)
by Jessie@AFNCC“I don’t know.” Mu Zi Yan’s complexion was faint, “Don’t see.”
“Yes.” Yunxiang answered in a low voice, and then retreated.
Raising his eyes to look at Leng Hanfeng standing in front of him, he spoke respectfully, “Lord Leng, inside are all the young ladies from various families, it is inconvenient for Lord Leng to enter.”
Leng Hanfeng heard Mu Zi Yan’s cold “don’t see” word, and then listened to Yunxiang’s reply, his eyes slightly sunk, whispered, “In that case, I’ll sit in the elegant room next door, don’t hesitate to ask the eldest young lady to come to a trip, the matter is about Mu Shizi’s business.”
Yun Xiang answered in a low voice, “Lord Leng please”
Su Qin Rou turned her eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, “Sister Mu, you seem to be quite prejudiced against him”
Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “I’m on to him”
“Isn’t it” Su Qinruo but she could see it really well.
Mu Zi Yan hooked her lips in a light smile, “That’s it then.”
“Sister Mu, you are so cunning.” The corner of Su Qinrou’s mouth turned away, quite dissatisfied with such an answer with Mu Zi Yan.
Mu Zi Yan but guffawed and said in a low voice, “This storyteller is an extremely funny one.”
“It’s just that this is said as if I saw it with my own eyes, which in turn makes me feel strange.” Su Qinruo frowned slightly and said in a low voice.
Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at her, “How do you think it should be”
“What if it’s Sister Mu,” Su Qinruo asked rhetorically.
“I ah,” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at Yun Xiang walking towards her, “I naturally want to know just who said this to him.”
“Sister Mu, there is someone in front of you,” Su Qinrou felt that only those who could witness it with their own eyes could speak in such detail, and must have been involved in it as well.
“Extremely likely.” Mu Zi Yan lowered her eyes and picked up the tea, taking a light sip.
Yunxiang walked over, “Eldest Miss, Lord Leng invites you to go forward to the elegant room on the next floor, there are important matters to talk about.”
“Not going.” Mu Zi Yan flatly refused.
“It says it’s about the First Young Master.” Rue Xiang continued.
“So what,” Mu Zi Yan snorted coldly, “You go out.”
“Yes.” Yunxiang answered in a low voice, and then retreated.
When Su Qinrou saw Mu Zi Yan like this, her eyes flashed with a touch of doubt, but she did not open her mouth anymore.
The group came out from Fuyuan Residence and went back to their respective homes.
Mu Zi Yan night did not return, now is also considered to be physically and mentally exhausted, to be back to the Mu Hou House, straight to the smoke fall courtyard, immediately took off the body of the outer cover, then leaned against the soft couch to take a nap.
Yun Xiang and Bi Yun looked at each other and softly retreated.
Sister Cui got the news and came to report, “Ma’am, Missy stayed up all night and was busy for half a day, now she can’t stay up and has rested.”
“This child, at such a young age, he’s worked so hard.” Qi’s heart ached, raising her eyes to look at Sister Cui, “How is it at the State Duke’s Mansion?”
“Thanks to the fact that Missy caught that spy out yesterday, however, the old slave did not expect that Zhang Shizi would disregard his own life in order to save Missy.” Sister Cui said in a low voice.
“This girl, I actually didn’t know that she still has this ability, as for Zhang Shizi, you should prepare some thank you gifts and let Xuan’er personally send them over.” Qi whispered.
“Yes, ma’am.” Sister Cui responded, “However, the eldest young lady said that she will go forward to Marquis Zhang’s residence every day to visit the Zhang Shizi, until the Zhang Shizi is cured.”
“This girl how can be so rashly agreed to it this back and forth, in vain is not to let the bystanders gossip” Qi’s eyebrows slightly knit, whispered.
“Eldest Miss has a kind heart and does not want to owe Zhang Shizi because of this, and is doing this to put her own heart at ease.” Sister Cui said in relief.
“This girl is just like this.” Qi sighed quietly before saying, “Let her be, she’s still young today.”
“This is exactly the reasoning, counting Zhang Shizi is also Missy’s cousin, now get closer, it is not a bad thing, Zhang Shizi last night for Missy to block the sword thing, now the capital who do not know, since they all know, Missy went to visit, the people outside can only say Missy is a thankful for the return of the people, will not be thinking of the wrong.” Sister Cui said along with Qi’s words.
“That’s true.” Qi nodded her head and responded, then touched her belly, “Only if the old madam doesn’t make trouble, now this Mu Hou Mansion is considered to be temporarily at peace.”
Sister Cui said in a low voice, “The old madam has not made a fuss these days.”
“It’s just a temporary calm.” Qi sighed quietly, “I heard that Little Uncle is coming back from his foreign post.”
“I heard that he was transferred back to the capital because he worked on a big case during his tenure and won the emperor’s appreciation.” Sister Cui whispered.
“It seems that this Mu Hou Mansion is going to add another happy event.” Qi hooked her lips in a cold smile.
“Madam, who do you think the old madam has her eye on” Sister Cui asked carefully.
“If I’m not mistaken, it should be the Blue Family’s second young miss, Lan Xin’er.” Qi spoke indifferently.
“That Second Miss Lan is not a good match, compared to Cui’s temperament, I’m afraid she’s not to be messed with, and even more so, she can’t rub sand in her eyes.” Sister Cui did not know what kind of medicine the old madam was selling in her gourd.
Qi laughed coldly and said, “I want to borrow the power of the Lan family, but the power of the Lan family is not that good to borrow.”
“However, the marriage of the eldest young master” Cui Ma’am also remembered Mu Lingxuan to, Mu Houfu a while ago can be said to be a series of bad things, one after another, the death of the two ladies, the second lady is also crazy, if it is not the eldest young lady to pass out this kind of good reputation, Mu Houfu may be that rumor into what it is.
“Xuan’er’s marriage, nowadays the marriageable ladies of the family are basically all married, the rest are similar in age to Yan’er, the fastest will have to wait for two years.” Qi’s also a little worried, “What’s more, now Xuan’er has just lost his wife, if he renews his marriage now, how will the emperor think?”
“Rather, it is the old slave who is foolish.” Sister Cui whispered.
Qi waved her hand and said, “However, today’s Marquis Mu, because of the smoke and the State Duke’s residence, the Emperor is afraid that he will be afraid of three times, Xuan’s marriage, I’m afraid that I can’t help it.”
“What Madam means is,” Sister Cui’s eyes widened slightly, as if she had thought of something.
“Zhong Hui is his own favorite, but in the end is a white-eyed wolf, this renewal thing, I see and then slow it down, or set down in advance, otherwise, Xuan Er’s marriage will certainly become a bargaining chip in the hands of the emperor.” Qi is not a know-it-all, only, a lot of things she is not willing to do too far, but, she is not harmless, but on the other side of her secret killers.
Now she had to be ruthless for the sake of the Mu Marquis, and for the sake of her children.
“Ma’am, in a few more days, you can ask the eldest young master what he has in mind.” Sister Cui said carefully when she saw Qi’s brows furrowing slightly.
“En, and see.” Qi rubbed her brow and continued, “Nowadays, ah, I only hope that this child will be born healthy, and I will be at peace.”
“Don’t worry, ma’am, it’s bound to be safe for mother and child.” Sister Cui hurriedly served ginseng soup and smiled back.
“I hope so.” Qi took it with a light smile, looking down and taking a sip.
After Mu Zi Yan woke up, it was already evening, she rubbed her forehead which was somewhat flooded with pain and slowly sat up.
Yun Xiang heard the commotion and entered with the lamp, “Eldest Miss, you’re awake”
“En.” Mu Zi Yan answered in a low voice, “Dang it, I’m tired.”
“Eldest Miss, dinner is ready.” Yunxiang rushed forward.
Mu Zi Yan slowly got off the bed, Yun Xiang brought the outer covering over and carefully served, but simply dressed properly, she went out of the inner room.
“Eldest Miss, the Third Master made great achievements in his term of office, the Emperor specially recalled him to the capital to fill the vacancy of the Minister of the Household.” Yunxiang said in a low voice.
“With Third Uncle coming back, the Marquis Mu Mansion is going to be lively.” Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly.
“Eldest Miss, the old madam has given the Lan family a written invitation, and will lead the third young miss to go to the Lan family tomorrow.” Yun Xiang whispered back.
After Mu Zi Yan purified his hands, then sat down, quietly with the dinner, to be used after, only slowly opened his mouth, “When it is really on the blue family’s second young lady.”
“Exactly.” Rue said in a low voice.
“Then let her be.” Mu Zi Yan knew that Lan Xin Er was not easy to deal with since, since the old madam wanted to offer this big Buddha, she was naturally optimistic.
Yunxiang continued, “Eldest Miss, news came from the Zhang Marquis’ side, Zhang Shizi has been resting on the couch this day, and the medicine has been taken on time.”
“That would be good.” Mu Zi Yan then breathed a sigh of relief, “He was injured because of me, so I can’t let anything happen to him.”
“Eldest Miss, Eldest Young Master went to Beijing Zhaoyin’s government office this morning, and has yet to return, saying that he and Elder Zhang are playing against each other, and that they have yet to win or lose.” Yun Xiang reported the events of this day one by one to Mu Zi Yan.
“When did Leng Hanfeng leave,” Mu Zi Yan asked faintly.
“Just after you left, Leng Dafeng went back to his mansion.” Yunxiang whispered, “Second Miss Zhong also went there.”
“Oh.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at her, “Where is the State Duke’s Mansion?”
“After cousin young master returned to the State Duke’s Mansion, he set out to purge the eyes within the mansion.” Yunxiang continued, “There are some eyebrows on the ground.”
Mu Zi Yan laughed lightly, “This is just a phoenix feather, the real big fish is afraid to come out yet.”
“Eldest Miss, when do you think the eyes of Marquis Mu will be cleared,” Bi Yun said as she walked in with tea, her brows furrowed.
Mu Zi Yan saw her face look bad and asked with a smile, “Who has provoked you here”
“The slave girl is afraid that if she says it, the eldest miss will blame the slave girl for being suspicious.” The corner of Bi Yun’s mouth turned away as she spoke in a low voice.
Seeing her like this, Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “Alright, don’t sell yourself short.”
“I don’t know who is following the slave girl, but when the slave girl turns around, she doesn’t see anyone, it’s really irritating.” Bi Yun said indignantly.
The corner of Mu Zi Yan’s mouth hooked up in an evil smile, “It seems that someone is restless.”
“Eldest Miss, do you know who it is” Bi Yun asked as she raised her eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan.
“I don’t know.” Muzzy Smoke whispered, “But I can get you to catch her.”
“Eldest Miss, teach your slave girl.” Bi Yun said curtly.
Mu Zi Yan laughed lightly, “The mantis is catching the cicada and the yellow sparrow is at the back, you let Xiao Cui keep an eye on it for you.”
“Aiya, how could I not think of it” Bi Yun heard and after savoring it, she came to a sudden realization and hurriedly looked at Mu Zi Yan with a smile on her face.
“Eldest Miss, the slave girl always feels that there is something strange about that Mr. Storyteller from Fuyuan Residence this day.” Yun Xiang spoke in a low voice.
Mu Zi Yan put away the smile at the corner of her mouth, “Send someone to keep an eye on it, the fox will always reveal its tail.”
“Yes.” Yunxiang hurriedly answered, then spoke, “Eldest Miss, are you going to Madam’s place?”
“I won’t go at this time, I’ll go again tomorrow to ask for peace.” Mu Zi Yan then got up, “These few days should also be properly prepared.”
“Eldest Miss, tomorrow we are going to the Zhang Hou Mansion.” Yunxiang whispered, “Third Miss Zhang gave the post.”
“Remember to back up your manners.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and entered the inner room, leaning back on the soft couch, picking up a scroll that had not yet been read and reading it.
The next morning, Mu Zi Yan went to Qi’s place as usual, mother and daughter were chatting happily, and she rushed to Zhang Hou Mansion.
Staffer, for some reason, woke up very early in the morning, having taken a vacation for the past few days, but thinking that Mu Zi Yan was coming over, he had no desire to sleep.
Mu Zi Yan into the chapter marquis residence, chapter Staffer early in the morning to pass the word, so she into the chapter marquis residence since it is unimpeded, to be into his courtyard, straight to the house, see him leaning on the soft couch, look much better than yesterday, she smiled and went up, “chapter cousin.”
“Cousin Zi Yan, you came just in time.” Chapter Staffer raised his eyes to see Mu Zi Yan enter and spoke with a light smile.
“What does Cousin Zhang do,” Mu Zi Yan asked with a smile.
“Look at this.” Commenting on the report, he handed her the scroll in his hand.
Mu Zi Yan took, probably flipped through a few pages, eyes overflowing with laughter, “This book volume I have been searching for a long time, Zhang cousin from where to find to get.”
“It’s just a coincidence.” The chapter reporter smiled and spoke, “If Cousin Zi Yan likes it, then take it.”
“It’s just that Cousin Zhang hasn’t looked at it yet.” Mu Zi Yan thought for a moment, “No, if not, I’ll look at some here first, I’ll be here for a few days anyway.”
“Very good.” Seeing that Mu Zi Yan did not squirm, and even more so that she had thought of a way to get the best of both worlds, the Chapter Staffer readily responded.
“Since that’s the case, this day has also answered Third Miss Zhang’s post anyway, so why don’t I just stay here at Cousin Zhang’s place to steal some time, and wait until they come one after another, then I’ll go out again.” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile, and then she sat on the chair beside Staffer Zhang and began to flip through the scrolls in her hands.
Seeing that she stayed like that, her heart flashed with inexplicable excitement, and she just gazed at her quietly, slowly picking up another scroll on the side, and then read it as well.
Inside the room there is not the slightest ringing, the silence is surprising, each other can hear their own shallow breathing, there are books and scrolls flipping the subtle sound, in addition, there is no other sound.
Mu Zi Yan read for an hour, but only a tenth of it, she raised her eyes to look at the hour, and saw that Zhang Staffer was still watching, then put down the scroll, “Cousin Zhang, take a break, you can’t hurt your eyes.”
“And will.” With a whispered response, the chapter put the scroll down and looked up to see that she had come over.
Yun Xiang walked in with the freshly decocted medicine, “Eldest Miss, the medicine has just been decocted.”
“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded in response, raising her hand to take it and place it on his heel.
The chapter featured a light smile and took the bowl of medicine, but also drank it without any ambiguity, not a drop left.
Mu Zi Yan nodded with satisfaction, the two looked at the time is still early, so tonight there is a lively to see, it is not as good as now to relax a bit, she raised her eyes to look at the chapter Staffer, “Zhang cousin but want to rest will”
“Lying down for too long is not tiring.” The chapter reporter smiled and returned, “I heard that yesterday, Mu Shizi and Lord Zhang played against each other for half a day, and until late at night, the two of them were not able to distinguish a winner from a loser.”
“Yes, we must be in the same place again today.” Mu Zi Yan guffawed, then said, “How about if I play some games with Cousin Zhang”
“Exactly.” The chapter commented readily.
They looked at each other and smiled, sitting on their knees, burning sandalwood incense to clear their minds, Mu Ziyan holding the black discs in her hand, and Staffer holding the white discs in his, and so it began.
Zhang Yihuan is aware that Mu Zi Yan to stay in the chapter Staffer’s courtyard did not come out, now has passed two hours, she looked at the sky, after another half an hour will be noon, her eyes flashed a touch of resentment, “can be inquired about, Mu Zi Yan to stay in the brother’s place to do what”
“Nowadays, he is playing chess with the eldest young master.” The maid at the side whispered back.
“Playing chess,” Zhang Yihuan grunted coldly, “That’s quite elegant.”
“Third Miss, today is the day you gave an invitation to answer guests, so I thought that Miss Mu would stay.” That girl continued.
“Who told her to stay” Zhang Yihuan snorted coldly, then rushed out of her courtyard and went straight to the Staffer’s place.
Mu Ziyan and Staffer are playing against each other at the moment, both of them are decisive people, while Mu Ziyan has a bit more feminine, so every step will be a bit more cautious, and once you see the opportunity, it will be invincible, on the contrary, Staffer has a bit more masculinity that is unique to men, and every step is even more decisive to kill, and does not leave the other side with the slightest way back.
The two of them were considered equal, and the surprise and admiration that flashed through Zhang Staffer’s eyes was only because he hadn’t expected Mu Zi Yan to have such a meticulous mind.
At this moment, Zhang Yihuan’s shouting voice came from outside, “Mu Zi Yan, come out here.”
Mu Zi Yan didn’t care, but raised her hand to land a stone, smiling lightly as she looked at Zhang Staffer, “Cousin Zhang, it’s your turn.”
“What a good move to advance by retreating.” Staff Reporting also turned a deaf ear to Zhang Yihuan’s shouts from the outside, staring intently at the chess game in front of him.
After waiting to drop the black disc, those eyes flashed with a dazzling light.
