Chapter 118 – Requesting a Marriage Decree (1 / 2)

“Concubine Yi,” Mu Zi Yan thought back to her previous life about Concubine Yi.

There was a big event in the Su Marquis, at first the Su Marquis was on the side of the Crown Prince, then because of a case of corruption and fraud, which led to the Su Marquis had to rely on the Third Prince, and that thing is said to be related to the concubines.

Mu Zi Yan looked at Su Qin Rou, “Sister Su, do you know that this harem matter has always been associated with the previous dynasty, and must be aware of the reasoning that success is Xiao He and failure is Xiao He”

Su Qinruo pondered for a moment, shaking her head in disbelief, “Don’t quite understand.”

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “If you tell this to Marquis Su, he will understand.”

“Good.” Su Qin Rou nodded and answered, looking at Mu Zi Yan, only to feel that she is too inscrutable, but she is more clear, Mu Zi Yan is sincere to her, this friendship is very rare, Mu Zi Yan’s maintenance of her, she is also in the heart, therefore, for Mu Zi Yan’s words, she will listen to it.

And so Su Qinrou back to the Su Hou House, about Hou Yi Yi murder case, the capital has long been a scandal, Zhang Zong check three days are fruitless, but was Mu Zi Yan with three hours will be closed, this case handling techniques and speed, but also unprecedented, so Mu Zi Yan in the hearts of the people’s position more and more exalted up, the God breaks the real name.

Marquis Su is concerned about this matter, see Su Qinru back, he also said with a smile, “You this girl this day is a long time to see.”

“En.” Su Qinrou looked at Marquis Su, “Father, Sister Mu said that Mr. Li’s death was a relief.”

Marquis Su was again stunned, back, eyes lit up, and repeatedly sighed, “Marquis Mu has produced a wunderkind ah, so the girl with the quality and heart, really is the blessing of the Marquis Mu.”

Su Qinrou had never heard Marquis Su praise someone like this before, she remembered what Mu Zi Yan had said and whispered, “Father, Sister Mu has a message for me to pass on to you.”

“Oh” Marquis Su raised an eyebrow, looked at Su Qinru and asked, “What is it”

“Sister Mu said that this Harem has always been unrelated to the previous dynasty, and that successes are also Xiao He and failures are also Xiao He.” Su Qin Rou told Marquis Su truthfully about Mu Zi Yan’s words, “She asked about her daughter, if there is a young lady from the Su family who has entered the harem.”

“Oops,” Marquis Su woke up with a start, looking at Su Qinru with a smile on his face, “girl ah, you can be more close to Miss Mu in the future. Close, Marquis Su’s future rise and fall can rely on you.”

“Father,” Su Qinrou was visibly stunned when she saw that Marquis Su could actually say these words.

Mrs. Marquis Su walked in, saw Marquis Su with an enlightened look, and then looked at Su Qinruo’s entire face was red, puzzled, looked at Marquis Su, “Master, what’s going on?”

“Madam ah, it seems that you let this girl get closer to the Mu family’s girl in the first place. Closeness is right, now it can be considered to have solved my burning problem ah.” Marquis Su said and then danced happily, smilingly leaving the hall.

Mrs. Marquis Su looked at Su Qinru, “What did you say”

“Daughter just told father what sister Mu said.” Su Qinrou was also quite puzzled, her age since she couldn’t think of the depths, so she told Mrs. Marquis Su again the words Mu Zi Yan had forwarded to Marquis Su, raising her eyes to look at Mrs. Marquis Su, “Mother, what does Sister Mu mean by this”

“Silly girl.” Mrs. Marquis Su laughed lowly, “The Mu family’s girl is really something.”

“Mother, what exactly is the meaning” Su Qinruo was a little annoyed in her heart and asked in confusion.

“Although your aunt is a side branch, but also the Su family, Su family how many years before entering a matron, but the side branch since there is no power, and the Su marquis house has not helped, so your aunt in the harem living since the straitjacket, this is also unfavorable to the Su family.” Mrs. Marquis Su whispered, “Your father is now worrying about how to keep the Marquis Su, this is not, the Mu family girl will point out the clear way.”

“Daughter still doesn’t understand.” Su Qinrou frowned, this aunt is not doing as well in the harem, what does it have to do with Marquis Su’s house

“It seems that you should learn from Miss Mu, she is the same age as you, but her vision is longer than yours, also thanks to your blessing, close to her, otherwise, she will not tell you this.” Mrs. Marquis Su then said, “The blue family has declined, but why are they doing so well today?”

“That’s because of Empress Yun.” Su Qinrui said smoothly, and as soon as the words fell, she suddenly realized, “Mother, my daughter understands.”

She couldn’t help but sigh, “No wonder Sister Mu said that success comes with failure.”

“Not too stupid.” Mrs. Marquis Su laughed lowly and said, “Eldest Miss Mu is worth befriending, end look at how she treats the Hou family’s maid and you’ll know.”

“Sister Mu is kind-hearted and treats her daughter with sincerity.” Su Qinrou said proudly.

“That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the same for everyone, it’s also about putting your heart in the right place.” Mrs. Marquis Su said faintly, “This nature of yours, ah, is just right for her temperament, which is also a blessing.”

“Mother, my daughter also thinks it’s a blessing.” Su Qinrou said with a smile.

“Alright, you’ve also worked hard these past few days, so go rest properly.” Mrs. Marquis Su touched Su Qinruo’s cheek, and seemed to think of something, “By the way, I’ve heard that Mu Shizi has not yet renewed his marriage.”

“Yes.” Su Qinrou nodded her head and responded, “Eldest Miss Zhong just left not long ago.”

“Ai, the Zhong family is also an ungrateful one.” Mrs. Marquis Su is more or less aware of some of the reasons for this, “How does Rou’er feel about Mu Shizi”

“Warm and gentle like jade, good nature, very good to sister Mu.” Su Qinrou’s impression of Mu Lingxuan was extremely good, even when she poked fun at him, he just smiled warmly and didn’t bother with her.

“The three-year period has passed, and it’s time to renew the strings.” Lady Marquis Su faintly opened her lips.

“But now Mu Shizi does not have this mind, listen to sister Mu said, Mu Shizi to the Zhong family Missy still have a heart, after all, at the beginning is his own selection, since because of the favorable only married, originally Mu family is not intended to marry with the Zhong family.” Su Qin Rou continued, “Mrs. Mu Hou is extremely good, she secretly said, Mu Shizi and Mu sister’s marriage, by their own decision.”

“It’s rather excellent.” Mrs. Marquis Su whispered, “It’s a pity that the Marquis Mu House has an old madam.”

“However, sister Mu instead said that the old lady does not matter.” Su Qin Rou is more or less know some of the things of the Mu Houfu, so now look at Mrs. Su Houfu, did not think of other, just said with a smile.

“Yes, there is the Mu family girl in, since it will not worry, at first, the Zhong family big miss married over, the Mu marquis is a big deal, what scenery, I am looking at that Mu Shizi is extremely good, also do not know how many worldly miss miss miss it.” Mrs. Marquis Su said in a low voice.

“Mother, why did you suddenly bring up Mu Shizi ah” Su Qinru sounded a little off.

“Nothing, just asking casually.” Mrs. Marquis Su said with a smile, “You go rest.”

“En.” Su Qinruo nodded her head, then blessed her body and stepped out of the hall.

Mrs. Marquis Su stared at Su Qinruo’s back, pondered for a moment, and the corner of her mouth hooked up with a meaningful smile.

Mu Zi Yan back to the Marquis Mu, Mu Lingxuan is talking to Qi about Mu Zi Yan this morning to solve the case, heard Qi rejoice, see Mu Zi Yan back, quickly smiled and beckoned, “Come over and let the mother take a good look.”

“Mother.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and stepped forward, gently blessing herself.

“En, Mother’s Smokey is truly the best.” Qi said contentedly.

“In Mother’s heart, daughter is naturally the best.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and leaned into Qi’s arms, “Mother, my daughter will accompany you for a while, then she will return to the Divine Doctor Sect.”

“And go back,” Qi said, rather disgruntled.

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “Mother, my daughter can’t give up halfway, and the things that master has given to my daughter have not been finished yet, since I have to finish what I started.”

“Alright then, you can come back earlier.” Qi was unable to let Mu Zi Yan leave her side for a moment.

Seeing how unwilling Qi was to give up, Mu Lingxuan tsked twice from the sidelines, “Ai, in Mother’s heart there is really only her younger sister.”

“Brother, it’s still you that Mother hurts the most in her heart.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and came over, “By the way, has sister heard that the sixth princess has returned to the capital.”

“Sixth Princess,” Qi heard, raised her eyes to look at Mu Lingxuan, silent for a moment, “Sixth Princess is not traveling far away, how come so quickly will come back.”

“That’s for you to ask brother.” Mu Zi Yan said mysteriously.

“Sister, don’t tease me.” Mu Lingxuan looked at Mu Zi Yan helplessly, looking a little embarrassed, for the Sixth Princess, he was really powerless.

Mu Zi Yan see Mu Ling Xuan face full of sadness, will know, brother to the six princess so far has not been involved in the love of men and women, but unfortunately, ah, that the six princess is a domineering persistent, now back, I guess there is a hilarious look.

Qi is aware of the six princesses mind, back then, is not Mu Lingxuan fancy Zhong Hui, the six princesses sadness a walk away, now afraid of sticking more tightly.

That’s how it is with men and women. The one you love turns a blind eye to you, while the one you don’t love stalks you.

Mu Zi Yan went out of Qi’s courtyard, Mu Lingxuan walked with her since and turned his eyes to look at her, “Can the matter of the Hou family’s eldest miss be related to Zhong Xuan”

“There are only two people in this world who are well versed in this technique, one is me and the other is Zhong Xuan.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice.

“What is she doing this for” Mu Lingxuan asked in disbelief.

“To test me.” Mu Zi Yan faintly opened her lips, “I’m afraid that I’ll be more and more scornful of me in the future.”

“You girl, nowadays you are deeper than me.” Mu Lingxuan raised the folding fan in his hand and knocked on her head.

Mu Zi Yan hurriedly hugged her head and looked at him aggressively, “Brother, you’re not allowed to hit me on the head anymore, what if I become stupid”

“It’s better to be stupid.” Mu Lingxuan lifted his hand and touched her head, “You hurry up and hurry on your way, come back early.”

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan came forward, “Brother, it seems that the Sixth Princess will return to the capital tomorrow, so you have to be ready to greet the ground.”

“You still say that.” Mu Lingxuan was so angry that he then picked up his folding fan again.

Mu Zi Yan had already run away long ago, still not forgetting to make a face towards Mu Ling Xuan, and then she went back to her own yard.

Yunxiang and Bi Yun had already been waiting for her, and when they saw her return, they hurriedly served tea and came up to her.

“Eldest Miss, you’ve lost weight.” Bi Yun said heartily.

Mu Zi Yan laughed lightly and said, “Where is the thinning nonsense.”

“Here.” Bi Yun said and then went up and circled around Mu Zi Yan’s waist, “Dang it’s thin.”

With that said, he gestured, only a tiny bit thinner than he was originally.

Yun Xiang stepped forward before Mu Zi Yan pinched her back, “Eldest Miss, there is news from Yun Ying Temple.”

“En,” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at her, her eyes flashed with a ghostly light.

“The old madam went to Yun Ying Temple the day before yesterday, and then Abbot Void left Yun Ying Temple.” Yun Xiang said in a low voice, “It seems that he went in the direction of the border.”

“Where is the Fifth Prince,” Mu Zi Yan continued to ask.

“The Fifth Prince and Second Master Qi will arrive at the border in five more days.” Yunxiang whispered, “This is the news from Bai Xuan.”

After Mu Zi Yan took the secret letter and read it, her face was grave, “Fu Heng has already returned from the capital of the Northern Qing Country and has secretly brought 200,000 men and horses with him.”

“Eldest Miss, should we tell the Duke of State about this,” Yun Xiang asked carefully.

“Wait a little longer.” Mu Zi Yan rubbed her brows, “At Jun Qian Yu’s place, I need to see how he plans to do it.”

“Onii-sama, what if,” Yun Xiang couldn’t help but worry.

“Wait a little longer.” Mu Zi Yan sighed quietly.

“Yes.” Rue Xiang then said no more.

After resting for a moment, Mu Zi Yan got up and left the Mu Hou Mansion, heading to the Divine Doctor Sect.

In the Cold Mansion, Zhong Xuan’s eyes were grim as she coldly stared at her subordinate kneeling on the ground, “What a Mu Zi Yan.”

Leng Hanfeng only felt that Mu Zi Yan would give him fine every time, and the more so, the more curious he became about her.

Zhong Xuan raised her hand and said, “Stand down.”

“Yes.” The subordinate responded when the heart flashed away.

Zhong Xuan raised her eyes to Leng Hanfeng, “Mu Ziyan knows quite a bit.”

“It’s you who are too gullible.” Leng Hanfeng’s deep eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light as he said in a low voice.

“Is that so,” Zhong Xuan sneered, “We don’t know who the deer will die yet, there will be a long time to come.”

“Mu Zi Yan is very interesting.” Leng Hanfeng picked up his teacup and took a light sip, the corner of his mouth hooked into a meaningful smile.

Zhong Xuan got up and sat gracefully in his arms, her fingertips brushing over his handsome features, “Leng Hanfeng, you’re getting more and more interested in her.”

“Even if interested, it can’t compare to the position you have in my heart.” Leng Hanfeng lowered his head and pecked lightly on her delicate lips, “You can rest assured.”

“Leng Hanfeng, but she is blind to you, are you sure you can succeed” Zhong Xuan stared at Leng Hanfeng with an evil smile.

“The harder it is to tame, the more interesting it is isn’t it” Leng Hanfeng wrapped his hands around her slender waist and moved closer to her features, “The hunt begins at this moment.”

“Then I’ll wait for your good news.” Zhong Xuan’s eyes hooked into a seductive smile, her delicate voice echoing in his ears.

“Little goblin.” Leng Hanfeng bloomed into a smile and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

Mu Zi Yan back to the Divine Doctor Sect is already late at night, when she was about to go up the stone steps, she saw a person standing in front of her with a lantern, after she approached, when she saw the person clearly, she smiled lightly and said, “Ming Qing, how did you get here?”

“I knew you were coming back, so I waited for you here.” Seeing Mu Zi Yan return, Ming Qing hurriedly carried the lantern forward, “Let’s go.”

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and answered, the two of them then picked up the steps together, and when they returned to the Divine Doctor’s Gate, Mu Zi Yan saw that the lights in Doctor Jin’s house had already been extinguished, so she knew that he had already rested, and she went back to her own house.

After entering, she saw that the bath tub behind the screen had been filled with hot water, her heart warmed, knowing that this must be what Ming Qing had done, naturally, she removed the restraints on her body and comfortably bathed, dispelling the coldness in her body, and when she lay on the bed and couch, her entire body relaxed, and she gradually drifted into a deep sleep in less than a few moments.

The next day before dawn, Mu Zi Yan will be carrying baskets straight to the mountain, so it will be in the mountains for two days and two nights, and finally picked up all the required herbs smoothly down the mountain.

After examining Doctor Jin one by one, he raised his eyes and looked at Mu Zi Yan, “Not bad, Yan’er is very smart and indeed very perceptive.”

“Master, what will my disciple learn next” Mu Zi Yan asked with a smile.

“Take this.” Dr. Jin said and handed her another medical book, “memorize it by heart, I will test you tomorrow morning since.”

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan took it with both hands, turned around and left the house.

Mu Zi Yan was fully focused on learning medicine at the Divine Doctor’s Sect, while the capital was bustling with activity.

Hou Yi Yi will be locked up in the house for three days and three nights, only to read the handwritten notes, only then out of the house, Mrs. Hou is worried about three days, see her out, which is a relief.

“Mother.” Hou Yi Yi looked at Mrs. Hou and revealed a smile.

“Daughter, ah, you’re finally fine.” Mrs. Hou hurriedly went forward to hold Hou Yi Yi in her arms.

“Mother, daughter is fine.” Hou Yi Yi remembers what Mu Zi Yan said, when after reading the handwritten notes, she understands, how to love a person, the deceased has passed away, she knows that Duke Li knows in his grave, and does not want her to go on suffering because of him.

Mrs. Hou whispered, “It’s good that it’s okay.”

“Mother, daughter wants to go out for a walk.” Hou Yi Yi said softly.

“Good, wherever you go Mother will accompany you.” Mrs. Hou gently responded.

Hou Yi Yi shook her head, “Daughter goes to sister Su’s place.”

“Oh, then you come back earlier.” Mrs. Hou saw that Hou Yi Yi was acting very calm, her heart and assured and worried.

Hou Yi Yi smiled lightly and said, “Mother, you don’t need to worry, my daughter is really fine, sister Mu is right, Mr. Li’s death is a relief.”

“Daughter ah, it’s good that you can figure it out.” Madam Hou sighed quietly, “Miss Mu is not in the residence these days, otherwise, I would have invited her over.”

“Mother, daughter knows.” Hou Yi Yi smiled, “Daughter will go now.”

“Good, go.” Seeing Mu Zi Yan say so, Mrs. Hou smiled and answered.

Su Qinrou these two days but some moping, do not know why, just feel blocked in the heart.

Hearing the maid outside report that it was Hou Yi Yi who came, her heart was delighted, so she greeted her, seeing Hou Yi Yi looking good, she smiled and said, “You’re finally willing to come out.”

“What’s wrong with you,” Hou Yi Yi asked in a low voice when she saw that she looked bad.

“Nothing.” Su Qinrui beamed back.

“It’s really nothing,” Hou Yi Yi said with a low smile, “When I came here just now, I heard that the Sixth Princess had returned to the capital.”

“What does the Sixth Princess’s return to the capital have to do with me,” Su Qinrou hastily retorted.

“You have nothing to do with, the sixth princess back to the capital will go straight to the Marquis of Mu, I heard that these days will rest in the Marquis of Mu, the whole day with Mu Shizi inseparable, it seems that not long after, sister Mu will have a new sister-in-law.” Hou Yi Yi said with a delighted smile on the corner of her mouth.

“What does having a new sister-in-law have to do with me,” Su Qinrou coldly snorted, and then she sat down on the chair and twisted her body.

Seeing her like this, Hou Yi Yi came forward, “Yes, when the time comes, Mu Shizi and the Sixth Princess will be like glue, in love, and really envious of the others.”

“And what does that have to do with me” Su Qinrou twisted her handkerchief hard, her eyes bursting with cold light.

Hou Yi Yi hooked her lips in a light smile, “Also oh.”

Su Qinrou raised her eyes and looked at Hou Yi Yi, “What are you doing here today”

“Came over to see you.” Hou Yi Yi whispered, “I just walked out, since I had to come and find you.”

“You are bent on laughing at me.” Su Qinrou coldly snorted.

“Injustice ah.” Hou Yi Yi hastily complained, “I was just talking about the matter of Mu Shizi and the Sixth Princess, how could I have laughed at you?”
