Chapter 106 Too Spirited (1 / 2)

Inside the Long Pine Courtyard is bustling with activity, and Mu Qinglin is sitting squarely at the head of the table at this moment.

Mu Zi Jing joyfully stood aside, her eyes reddening, after all, Cui had died, and her relatives now only had the old madam and father left.

Mu Qinglin’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Mu Zijing, “Jing’er, suffered.”

“Father, when you’re back, my daughter won’t be bitter anymore.” Mu Zi Jing said in a low voice.

Mu Qinglin nodded his head and responded, “Jing’er understands, and I am relieved.”

“Father, daughter will never be willful again.” Mu Zi Jing hurriedly said as she blessed her body.

“Good, good.” Mu Qinglin responded meaningfully.

The old madam looked at the father-daughter duo in front of her and hurriedly laughed, “Alright, Jing’er ah, your father has just come back, so it’s time for him to get some rest.”

“Yes, grandmother, granddaughter excuses herself.” Mu Zi Jing obediently responded, and then she exited the Long Pine Courtyard.

Mu Qinglin turned his eyes to look at the old madam, “Mother, this great niece of mine is a formidable one.”

“Ai.” The old madam sighed quietly, “It’s just a pity that we didn’t get rid of it as early as possible, otherwise, it wouldn’t have left such a big hidden danger.”

“Mother, don’t worry, this girl won’t be able to jump around for a few days.” Mu Qinglin’s eyes narrowed slightly, picking up the tea and sipping lightly, the corner of his mouth hooked into a cold smile.

Seeing Mu Qinglin say so, the old madam also nodded, “Yes.”

Mu Zi Yan came out from the Jiyue courtyard and went straight to the Long Pine courtyard.

Seeing Mu Ziyan from afar, she was also surprised, but only for a split second, she suppressed her doubts, and then respectfully greeted her, “I’ve seen you, Miss.”

“From Sister, is Third Uncle available” Mu Zi Yan asked with a smile.

“Back to Eldest Miss, wait a moment, Third Master is talking to Old Madam.” From Sister hurriedly responded with a smile.

“Oh.” Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly, “I heard that third uncle came back this morning, so I rushed over when I got the news, since third uncle and grandmother have if to talk, then I won’t bother.”

After Mu Zi Yan said that, she turned around and left the Long Pine Courtyard.

From Sister this time froze, she is not that mean ah, just look at Mu Zi Yan has left, also can only hard head forward to report.

After Mu Qinglin heard this, he merely smiled faintly, “This girl is a resourceful one.”

“She’s doing this on purpose.” The old madam’s eyes were cold, “Lin’er, this girl is given to me, you should not get involved.”

“Mother, don’t worry, I’m not yet guilty of being generalized with a little girl.” Mu Qinglin faintly responded, unconcerned.

“That’s good.” The old madam sighed, “Your second brother was kicked out of the house, I don’t want you to find a reason to get out as well.”

“Mother and rest assured, want to throw me out of the house, that also depends on whether they have the ability to” Mu Jing Lin coldly laughed, “Mother, the blue family’s second miss I do not see, this time the empress dowager’s birthday banquet, will certainly be lively extraordinary, you do not have to worry about my marriage.”

The old madam’s eyes narrowed slightly when she saw Mu Qinglin say this, “Could it be that”

“Heh.” Mu Qinglin also did nothing more than give a secretive smile before getting up, “Mother, child will leave first.”

“Good.” The old madam then nodded her head, and Mu Qinglin turned around and left the Long Pine Courtyard.

Seeing Mu Qinglin leave, from Sister walked over, “Old Lady, Third Master this is”

“Ai, having an idea of your own.” The old madam rubbed her brow, “Then the Lan family’s second young miss will be allowed to make a fool of herself.”

“Yes.” From the time Sister saw the old madam say this, she knew that the marriage was considered to be over.

Mu Zi Yan went back to the Smoke Drop Courtyard, only to feel that this time Mu Qing Lin is not good, perhaps, it is the emperor using the third uncle to suppress the power of the big house, if this is really the case, then, this matter can be difficult to do.

The matter of the cool king is considered to be dangerous, think the empress dowager is certainly to see the clues, then, that night know the truth of the people, will always become the cool king’s hidden trouble, once the cool king’s intention to reach, they are the first to be eradicated.

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “It seems that this is a situation where he has forced himself into a dead end, and if he doesn’t fight back vigorously, he can only wait for death.”

“Master.” Bai Xuan’s figure fell, but did not enter.

Mu Zi Yan was leaning back on the soft couch in the inner room when she heard Bai Xuan’s voice then opened her mouth, “Come in.”

Bai Xuan entered the room and answered with his head hanging down, “Eldest Miss, the Fu Heng that you asked my subordinates to check, has been guarding the border these days and has not made any moves.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded, “Send someone to keep an eye on it, and what else”

“The Fifth Prince and Second Master Qi will arrive in the capital tomorrow.” Bai Xuan continued, “This is the news from the royal family of the Northern Qing Kingdom.”

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan raised his hand and took it, and after reading it, he carefully thought about what had happened in his previous life in Beiqing country at this time, and then said, “How is the emperor’s dragon body in Beiqing country?”

“Kang Jian.” Bai Xuan said bluntly.

“Is that so” Mu Zi Yan remembered that she came out from her family’s temple, the Northern Qing Dynasty had already changed hands, it seems that this must have happened, she raised her eyes and looked at Bai Xuan, “The fifth prince and the second master of Qi on the road can encounter ambushes.”

“Yes.” Bai Xuan whispered, “The casualties are not great.”

“This is just a sound bite.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, “How is the Yin family?”

“The Yin family is still in the Bitter Cold Land today, but the Yin family head went the day before yesterday.” Bai Xuan whispered, “Died violently.”

“Who is left of the Yin family today” Mu Zi Yan’s mouth curled up into a cold smile.

“Only Yin Shizi, and the Yin family’s fourth young miss remain, the rest are all old and sick, and the Yin family has fallen.” Bai Xuan truthfully returned.

“Order someone to secretly protect Yin Shizi and the Yin Family’s Fourth Miss.” Mu Zi Yan continued.

“Yes.” Bai Xuan led the order and then retreated.

Mu Zi Yan took a deep breath and lowered her head to think about what had happened in these hours and days, it seemed that the Yin family head had by no means died of a violent death, on the surface he had sent people to ambush the Fifth Prince, but in reality, he had sent people forward to exterminate the Yin family.

“Liang Wang, what the hell do you think” Mu Zi Yan eyes slightly narrowed, at this moment but some can not guess the situation.

“Eldest Miss, word has come from the State Duke’s Mansion that the old madam is in ill health.” Bi Yun walked in and reported in a low voice.

“Grandmother” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, yesterday’s mother had only been, how come this day will be sick it

She then rose, “To the State House.”

“Yes.” Bi Yun answered and then went to prepare.

After arriving at the State Duke’s residence, Mu Zi Yan went straight to the State Duke’s old lady’s courtyard, and when she saw the State Duke’s old lady lying on the bed with a pale face, she hurriedly went up to support her, “Grandmother, what’s wrong with you?”

“It’s just an old problem.” The old madam looked at Mu Zi Yan and whispered.

Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to look at Doctor Jin, who was standing at the side, and then stepped forward, “Master, maternal grandmother she”

“You come with me.” Dr. Kim whispered.

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan followed Dr. Jin out of the inner room, looking at him with a grave expression.

“The old madam is poisoned.” Doctor Jin whispered, “And the poisoning is deep.”

“What,” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed with a touch of coldness, “what kind of poison was it?”

“Leaving Soul.” Doctor Jin said in a low voice, “This poison has no antidote, and along with time, it will become more and more serious, at first it will be weak, as if infected with wind-cold in general, followed by a headache, and then paralyzed, unable to take care of themselves, until finally cut off the breath.”

“Is this the beginning,” Muzzy Smoke asked in a low voice.

“No, this kind of poison can only be discovered until the second stage, often discovered at this time, and no antidote can be found before the third stage, then, there is no medicine to cure it, and you can only wait for death, and you won’t live for more than three months at most.” Dr. Jin whispered.

“What” Mu Zi Yan was shaken, she remembered that in her previous life, her grandmother went early, also not long after she entered the family temple, she thought at that time that her grandmother was overly sad, but now it seems to be poisoned, no wonder at that time when her cousin mentioned her grandmother every time, she would have a difficult to say.

Mu Zi Yan’s hand hidden with her sleeve clenched tightly before she said, “How much longer until the third stage.”

“Ten days.” Doctor Jin looked at Mu Zi Yan, “This poison comes from the Northern Qing Kingdom, no one in the world today can pick it up, even your senior uncle can’t solve it.”

“Apprentice understands.” Mu Zi Yan whispered, “Master, is there any other method”

“Finding the person who gave the poison may give us a chance of survival.” Dr. Jin continued, “The poison can be extracted to formulate an antidote.”

Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded, “Apprentice will find out, don’t tell great aunt and the others about this matter.”

“Don’t worry, I only told you.” Dr. Kim whispered.

“Many thanks master.” Mu Zi Yan hurriedly blessed herself before turning around and entering the inner room, walking up and sitting beside the bed, holding Elder Duchess of State’s hand, “Grandmother.”

“Smokey girl, I only have a headache.” Mrs. Guo Gong smiled and spoke.

“En, Smoke knows.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and replied, she had to find the antidote no matter what, no matter what the cost.

When she came out of the Duke’s old lady’s courtyard, she saw Qi Xuan walking towards her, “Cousin, how is the old lady’s body?”

“Cousin, let me borrow a step.” Mu Zi Yan said as she looked at him.

“Good.” Qi Xuan walked along with Mu Zi Yan until the two of them traveled to a secluded pavilion.

Mu Zi Yan looked at him, “Grandmother was caused by poisoning, and there is no cure for this poison.”

“What poison,” Qi Xuan’s eyes overflowed with surprise, but he still forced down his anger and asked in a low voice.

“Leaving the soul.” Mu Zi Yan returned truthfully.

“Leaving the soul,” Qi Xuan’s eyes sank coldly, “Cousin, how do you plan on this matter?”

“The antidote must be found within ten days, or else, Grandmother,” Mu Zi Yan said as she looked at Qi Xuan, “Cousin, this poison came from the Northern Qing Kingdom, and now the person who poisoned it must be found out.”

“Leave this matter to me.” Qi Xuan said as he looked at Mu Zi Yan.

“You and I will act separately.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, “The person who poisoned must be someone close to grandmother, all people cannot be excluded from suspicion, the State Duke’s Mansion will be handed over to you, while my place will also be investigated.”

“What do you mean,” Qi Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he instantly understood what Mu Zi Yan meant.

“Not bad.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, “This poison was placed in January, and projecting the date, it happened to be the night of grandmother’s birthday banquet, therefore, it is necessary to check all the people who came into contact with grandmother that night, one by one.”

“Good.” Qi Xuan nodded and responded, “Don’t worry cousin, I will definitely have a letter tomorrow.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan answered in a low voice, “Cousin, only you and I know about this matter.”

“I understand.” Qi Xuan nodded his head and responded, “Cousin, don’t worry, I’ll pass the message to you tomorrow.”

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan answered and then left the State Duke’s Mansion.

Waiting to sit in the carriage, her face became more and more gloomy, until she returned to the Mu Hou House, her complexion did not improve.

Mu Lingxuan returned from duty, knowing that the Duke’s wife was ill, then went to Mu Ziyan’s place, saw her look grave, then asked, “Grandmother is in trouble.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Mu Ling Xuan and said, “Brother, I’m to blame for this matter, I didn’t anticipate that they would dare to lay hands on grandmother.”

“You girl, what exactly happened” Mu Lingxuan saw Mu Zi Yan blaming herself and hurriedly went forward to ask.

“Grandmother has been poisoned, away from her soul, within ten days if an antidote is not found, there will be no cure.” Mu Zi Yan had never shed a tear no matter how big of a thing she encountered, not even a hint of panic, but now, mentioning the Duke of State’s old lady, she couldn’t help but redden her eyes.

Seeing her like this, Mu Lingxuan hurriedly comforted, “You girl, you can tell cousin about this matter”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and answered.

“But you have started to check,” Mu Lingxuan asked in a warm voice.

“It has already been arranged down.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and answered.

“But you have found out what” Mu Lingxuan looked down at Mu Zi Yan gradually calmed her mind, and only then was relieved.

“There hasn’t been any results yet, after all, time has passed already in January.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes are slightly cold, “I must find out who poisoned him.”

“Do you have a suspect,” Mu Lingxuan asked in a low voice when he saw her like this.

“There is.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded, “Brother, what do you want to do about this matter”

“I,” Mu Lingxuan looked at her, “you’ve made all the arrangements, now just wait for the news.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan then spoke, “Do not tell Mother about this matter.”

“Silly girl.” Mu Lingxuan hooked his lips and smiled, “By the way, tomorrow the fifth prince arrived in the capital, must be the first to return to the palace, and after that will go to a trip to the State Duke’s Mansion, the second uncle is also back, you should go to meet.”

“Brother, are you hiding something from me” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at him.

“What am I hiding from you” Mu Lingxuan said with a smile as his eyes slightly raised.

“Hmph.” Mu Zi Yan snorted coldly, “When there really isn’t”

“Not since.” Mu Lingxuan continued, “It’s you who don’t remember.”

“Me?” Mu Zi Yan got a little bitter, “Where do I not remember”

“You ah.” Mu Lingxuan spoke with a smile, “Well, it’s still too early to talk about these things, so just wait for the news.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan also felt that it was this reasoning, only when she remembered the death of Old Lady Guo Gong in her previous life, thinking that her grandmother must have left in great pain at that time, she couldn’t help but feel sad.

She looked at Mu Lingxuan and moved forward to lean into his arms, “Brother, in this life, I don’t want to watch you all leave me one by one again.”

“Silly girl.” Mu Lingxuan patted her back, “How could brother leave before you”

Since that incident, Mu Lingxuan had come to understand what he cared about the most and what he had to protect the most.

Mu Zi Yan is seldom so emotional, the memory of her past life is like a nightmare haunting her, a thousand years she still can’t forget it!

Waiting for Mu Lingxuan to leave, she stayed alone in the inner room, carefully thinking about all the things that had happened during this period of time, tomorrow the fifth prince Jun Qian Yu arrived in the capital, afraid that it would cause another commotion.

She didn’t believe that the Crown Prince and the Third Prince were indifferent, and even more so, she didn’t believe that they wouldn’t take action, the enemy of an enemy is a friend, perhaps, at this time, they would join together to deal with the Fifth Prince.

Mu Zi Yan thought about what happened to the Fifth Prince in her previous life, and then thought about this life, she preferred not to do what they wanted.

It wasn’t until late at night that Yunxiang hurriedly walked in, “Eldest Miss, news has come from the table young master’s place.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded and answered.

“The person who gave the poison was Cailian, who is beside the second young miss.” Yunxiang answered in a small voice.

“Cailian” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, “this girl’s hiding is really deep, find out who Cailian’s master is”

“It’s been found out, Old Madame.” Yunxiang also hadn’t realized that Cailian, who was loyal to Mu Zixi, was actually one of the old madam’s people.

Mu Zi Yan let out a cold snort, then got up, “I’m going to return the favor in its own way.”

“Eldest Miss, what should be done about this matter” Yun Xiang felt that time was running out nowadays.

Mu Zi Yan was silent for a moment, “Go and invite the eldest young master to come.”

“Yes.” Rue Xiang answered, and then walked out.

Bi Yun walked in, “Eldest Miss, Xiao Cui has sent a message saying that Third Miss has sneaked out of the mansion.”

“Out of the house” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, “What is she doing out of the house at this time”

“I don’t know.” Biyun answered in a low voice.

“Send someone to keep an eye on it.” Mu Zi Yan faintly opened her lips, at this time, the one she had to deal with was the old madam, how dare she make a move against her grandmother, she would let the old madam know the consequences.

“Eldest Miss, Eldest Young Master is here.” Yunxiang reported in a low voice.

Mu Zi Yan went out of the inner room and raised her eyes to look at Mu Ling Xuan, “Brother, it’s old madam.”

“It’s this old pious woman again.” Mu Lingxuan shouted angrily upon hearing this.

Mu Zi Yan hurriedly stepped forward and said, “If she dares to touch the people I care about, I’ll also let her taste that the people she cares about the most are worse than death.”

“How do you intend to” Mu Lingxuan on the old lady has long been hated to the bone, but unfortunately, did not find to bring down the old lady of the law, and he also knows that now can not move the old lady, the old lady is related to the survival of the entire Mu Houfu.

“Third Uncle.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly as she said in a low voice.

“I know.” Mu Lingxuan responded with understanding, “But Third Uncle is not like Second Uncle.”

“Brother, don’t worry, I will definitely do this matter.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Mu Ling Xuan, “Brother only needs to guard the door for me.”
