Chapter 138 – A Plan Within a Plan (Wonderful) (2 / 2)

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, raising her eyes to look at the two of them, “Prepare yourself and go with me to Funan.”

“Yes.” Yunxiang and Bi Yun stayed in the imperial tomb for several months, since they were tired of it, when they heard Mu Zi Yan say so, they were overjoyed, and quickly turned around and went to work.

Mu Zi Yan saw the back of the two excitedly, the corner of her mouth slightly hooked up, after the master and servant three had packed up, she saw two figures drop down and kneel in front of her in unison, “Master.”

“En, as long as you do not go out is, if someone comes, know what to do” Mu Zi Yan asked in a cold voice.

“Don’t worry, master.” Those two were wearing human skin masks in the likeness of Yun Xiang and Bi Yun since.

Mu Zi Yan suddenly thought of something, what if Zhong Xuan got someone who looked exactly like her in the future

As she thought so, she made a calculation right then and there, and then raised her eyes to look at the two of them, “Let’s go.”

“Yes.” Biyun and Yunxiang were already familiar with the situation, and the three of them, dressed as men since, went out of the imperial tomb together and rode to Funan.

Zhong Fei was properly placed, and was now sitting on the soft couch, his eyes flashed a cold light, and he saw Qiaolian standing respectfully at one side.

“Young master, are you resting early,” Qiao Lian had since been assigned to serve beside Zhong Fei.

“En.” Zhong Fei nodded his head in response and whispered, “Sister Mu can send news.”

“She said that young master is doing well and asked you to stay at Marquis Zhong’s residence at ease.” Qiao Lian reported in a low voice.

“Good.” Zhong Fei’s smile, which he hadn’t shown for an entire day, was now in a rare position to reveal a brilliant smile after hearing Qiao Lian’s words.

Seeing him like this, Qiaolian went forward with downcast eyes and served him to wash and rest.

Marquis Zhong paced back and forth in his study happily, not realizing that Fei’er had come back, at that time, after hearing the news of his disappearance, he thought that he was gone, not realizing that he had escaped and returned.

Early the next morning, Marquis Zhong went to the palace, immediately reported the matter to the emperor, the emperor did not object, since the killing of one of his sons, is to return one, then the decree, inherited the position of the son, but it is sent in the name of the late Marquis Zhong’s wife.

Mu Zi Yan is now in a hurry, and after hearing the news, she laughed coldly and said, “The one thing that Marquis Zhong hated the most in her life was Princess Yue Ren, and now that she’s dead, if she knows that Princess Yue Ren’s child is being raised in her name, do you think she’ll be so angry that she’ll crawl out of her grave?”

Yunxiang and Bi Yun exchanged a glance, Bi Yun muttered in a low voice, “Missy, if Zhong Houfu really climbed out, that kind of Missy is not also”

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “What are you afraid of”

Rue Xiang sighed, “Eldest Miss, but we still need to continue the journey”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan’s brow answered, and after a short rest, she continued to rush.

Obviously, after the last lesson, Biyun and Yunxiang two secretly also strengthen the exercise, now the body since the last time is much better than the last time, now the three rushed a day and a night of the road, the two can still hold out.

Inside the Mukhou Mansion.

“You said that Marquis Zhong’s residence has a new son,” the old madam’s eyes sank and she whispered, “Where did this pop up from?”

“The old slave does not know.” From Sister whispered, “Now that the holy decree has been issued.”

“The Zhong family is quite lively.” The old madam coldly grunted, these days she was infuriated by Zhu Yue.

“Old madam, Aunt Zhu said that you have an old man’s ginseng here and asked the slave girl to send it over.” Magpie entered and whispered.

“Bastard,” the old lady chortled, “I won’t give her my things even if I feed them to the dogs.”

“Old madam, Third Master is here.” From the moment Sister saw Mu Qinglin, who was currently walking towards the house, she reminded the old madam in a low voice.

“So what if he’s here,” the old lady’s eyes shattered with a cold light, “he’s here to ask for something, and these days, all the good things in my place have been raided by her.”

Mu Kenglin hung his head and stepped forward, “Mother.”

“Hmph.” The old madam coldly snorted, “If you’re here to ask for something, why don’t you just ask for this old life of mine as well.”

“Mother, what’s wrong with you,” Mu Qinglin was slightly stunned, then he saw the old madam’s eyes moist and glaring at him angrily.

“Third Master, Aunt Zhu only came yesterday to ask for ganoderma lucidum, as well as deer antlers, and today she’s here to ask for that old man’s ginseng, which you honored old madam with.” From Sister hurriedly bowed her head and said.

Mu Qinglin brows slightly knit, obviously did not expect Zhu Yue will do so, he whispered, “Mother, son filial piety to you, since you can not give her, you and calm down, the son came because of one thing.”

“But the matter of the Zhong family,” the old madam saw Mu Qinglin say so, and gradually dispersed her anger.

“It’s another piece.” Mu Qinglin continued, “The Jing maiden dowry.”

“Her things were notarized, and they all exist in Marquis Cui’s mansion today.” The old madam coldly said.

“No need for her to bring it over, just that there are a few stores with good lots, why don’t you send someone forward to do something.” Mu Qing Lin looked at the old madam and said.

“What are you involved in this back of the house” the old lady listened but felt that it was not like Mu Qing Lin could come up with, thought Zhu Yue was playing with the idea of Mu Zi Jing’s dowry, but instead lent her a hand.

The old lady thought, eyes flashed a touch of coldness, “I’m old, since I can’t care about this kind of thing, the four princesses into the palace some days, you have gone to see Mo can’t be outsiders chewing on the root of the tongue.”

“I went yesterday.” Mu Qinglin said in a low voice, “Yue’er asked me to go every other day.”

“Come on, you have a capable person by your side, this old woman of mine is useless.” The old madam waved her hand and said, “You don’t need to bother me about Jing’s girl, she’s wary of me now.”

“Mother, my son won’t say anything.” Mu Qinglin saw that the old madam was really angry, and was in a bit of a bind, so he hurriedly promised to do so.

When he returned to Orchid Garden, he saw Zhu Yue lying on the bed with a pale face, he remembered the old madam’s angry face, he went up to him with a pale face, and before he could say anything, he saw that Zhu Yue had already jumped into his arms, “You’re going to be a father.”

“What,” Mu Qinglin swallowed on the spot before these scolding words could be uttered, looking at Zhu Yue in surprise.

“Don’t you want this child” Zhu Yue saw him staring blankly and thought it was because he didn’t like it, so he lowered his eyes and leaned on the bed.

“You are now a double body, since you can not cry.” Mu Qinglin woke up only then, since the joy could not help, to see her tears, at once will be in a hurry to cover her brocade quilt.

Compared to the year Cui’s pregnancy, he was less than nothing, because it was the first time, many do not understand, so did not have any joy, but at the moment, he was heartfelt joy.

Zhu Yue saw this clumsy look on his face and whispered, “Be careful.”

“Good.” Mu Qinglin looked down at her, “That old man’s ginseng is my filial honor to old madam, if I know you have it, I will not be stingy, I will order someone to pass this message over.”

“Eh.” Zhu Yue nodded, looking at him with a sideways grin.

At this moment, Zhu Yue’s heart is excited and solid, what she expected before, but now it has become a reality, although the person in front of her is not the emperor, but her first man, and is very loving to her, looking at him just now the panic, her heart also followed the melting.

The old madam was still angry now, and was thinking about how to clean up Zhu Yue, when she didn’t expect to see from Sister rushing over, “Old madam, Aunt Zhu has it.”

“What,” the old lady was visibly stunned, “you said there was”

“Old madam, there really is one.” From Sister, however, she didn’t know whether this was a happy or a bad thing.

The old madam, however, happily patted her thighs, “Nowadays, I also count on her to give birth to a grandson, quickly, quickly, quickly help me to go over to take a look at it, as well as bring that old man ginseng with me.”

“Yes.” From Sister answered with her head hanging down, and then she helped the old madam to head to Orchid Garden.

Mu Qinglin heard the old lady coming and looked down at Zhu Yue, “Look at that”

“I was the one who was capricious before.” Zhu Yue said in a shyly drooping whisper.

“You.” Mu Qinglin nudged the tip of her nose, so he got up and went forward to welcome the old madam.

The old madam came in with a smile on her face, and when she saw Mu Qinglin, “But it’s true.”

“Mother, since it is true.” Mu Qinglin saw the old madam rejoicing, and only then did he put his heart down.

The old madam smiled and narrowed her eyes, she had never seen her smile so happily, so she saw her enter the inner room, and when she saw Zhu Yue she wasn’t cold, she said kindly, “It’s always a blessing.”

“Old Lady.” Zhu Yue then wanted to get up and salute.

“Just lie down.” The old madam rushed forward to support her and said.

“Yes, Old Lady.” Zhu Yue obediently responded.

The old madam smiled and looked Zhu Yue up and down, and then slightly frowned, “Thin some, this can not be, have to make up for some, the time of the birth can be smooth some.”

From Sister hurriedly brought the old man’s ginseng over, “Aunt Zhu, this is a special delivery from the old madam.”

Zhu Yue hated the most is the other people call her Zhu aunt, but now in the old lady here but not good to attack, just pulling a smile should say, “old lady has the heart.”

The old madam had instructed a few words, and only then did she go out of the courtyard with a smile, returning herself to the Long Pine courtyard.

From Sister looked to the old madam, “Old madam, this Aunt Zhu has a body, how can you be so happy that if she gives birth to a brother, I’m afraid that the Third Master will love her even more.”

“It’s only good to give birth to a brother.” The old madam’s eyes narrowed slightly, “An aunt, where is she qualified to raise a young master”

From Sister now understood, and hastily responded, “What the old madam said is true, when the time comes, when Aunt Zhu gives birth, she will be taught and raised beside you, and she will be extraordinary in the future.”

“Since this is the reason.” The old lady’s eyes flashed with a ghostly light, “If she wants anything, just give it to her.”

“Yes.” From Sister answered, her eyes flashing with a glint.

Zhu Yue was still secretly happy at the moment for having joy.

Qi lay on the bed, the corner of her mouth hooked up in a cold smile, “Aunt Zhu is expecting a baby, the third house will be even more lively.”

Sister Cui whispered, “Madam, the old madam is overjoyed.”

“Since I am happy.” Qi faintly said, “When Aunt Zhu gives birth, if it’s a brother, the old madam will personally teach and raise him, Aunt Zhu is not qualified.”

“Old Madame is truly resourceful.” Sister Cui whispered, “No wonder she was able to put up with Aunt Zhu.”

“Ginger is still old and hot.” Qi’s eyes flashed with a ghostly light, “How is Smokey”

“Eldest Miss has gone to Funan.” Sister Cui also only learned on the eldest young master’s birthday that Lu Erniang, a popular person in the capital, was actually the eldest young lady.

Qi was also just informed, now finally put down her heart, palm holding the protruding belly, “The day of my labor is also coming soon, the more this time the more careful.”

“Yes.” Sister Cui whispered, “Missy will come by herself.”

“En.” Qi’s nodded, “Rest early, this bustle has to be seen, not a day or two can see enough.”

“Your Ladyship said yes.” Sister Cui responded repeatedly.

When Mu Ziyan arrived in Funan smoothly, Qi Xuan got the letter early in the morning and came to welcome her.

“Cousin.” Mu Zi Yan rolled over and dismounted, smiling as she walked forward.

“Auntie is already waiting for you.” Qi Xuan said in a warm voice, “Go back first.”

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan replied with a light smile, and then entered Funan’s government office with Qi Xuan.

When she entered the hall, she saw Mu Qingyuan standing with his hands in front of him, and when he saw her coming forward, his eyes overflowed with favor, “She has grown a bit taller.”

Mu Zi Yan bowed respectfully, “Daughter greets father.”

“Alright.” Mu Qingyuan raised his hand to help her up, “But you’re tired.”

“It’s okay.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and got up, and then she sat on Mu Qing Yuan’s side.

Seeing that she was still as clingy as ever, Mu Qingyuan favored her with a smile, “How do you feel about what happened in Funan”

“Father, what about you,” Mu Zi Yan but asked back.

“Those refugees I’ve unified and placed them in a temporarily erected refugee camp.” Mu Qingyuan said in a deep voice, “Add more manpower and strictly forbid idle people from going up the mountain.”

“For the time being, it can only be like this.” Mu Zi Yan continued, “But it’s not a permanent solution.”

“Nowadays there is no mistake.” Mu Qingyuan nodded approvingly, his eyes downcast and surveyed Mu Zi Yan, father and daughter have not seen half a year, he instead felt that this girl is really grown up.

Mu Zi Yan continued, “Father, my daughter wants to go up the mountain tomorrow.”

“Have your cousin accompany you.” Mu Qingyuan whispered.

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan rushed at Mu Qing Yuan and obediently responded.

Mu Zi Yan rested for the night, and at dawn, she went up the mountain with Qi Xuan.

Since she was wearing the armor of a soldier, she followed behind Qi Xuan, and waited until after she went up the mountain, Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked at the situation in front of her, “I remember that there is a hot spring behind this flash.”

“Yes, it was bought by a local rich merchant.” Qi Xuan continued, “It’s a good thing that due to the flooding, this mountain was taken back by the government, otherwise, I’m afraid that Zhong Xuan would have gotten his way now.”

“Not if you sell it to me.” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile.

“Sell it to you,” Qi Xuan raised an eyebrow, “since you can’t use your name.”

“Pseudonym.” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile.

“This is not a small matter.” Qi Xuan continued, “Then again, even if you buy it, if it’s left unattended, it’s still the same.”

“I will find someone to watch over it myself.” Mu Zi Yan said with a raised eyebrow.

“Looks like you already have an idea.” Qi Xuan smiled lightly, “Right, what about the hot springs”

“Buy it all together.” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile.

“But see what hall of fame to” Qi Xuan see Mu Zi Yan so bold, “you can have enough silver two”

“Yes.” Mu Zi Yan confidently responded, “Hasn’t cousin always thought highly of me”

“I slipped up.” Qi Xuan hurriedly responded.

When Mu Zi Yan walked up to the top of the mountain and looked out over the mountain, her eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, and then she said, “Cousin, someone has come.”

“En.” Qi Xuan also saw the traces, and it was done by an expert.

“It’s better to make a decision on this matter sooner rather than later, otherwise, Funan is afraid that it’s going to be a complete mess.” Mu Zi Yan said in a cold voice, turned her eyes to Qi Xuan and said, “You and I will go down the mountain and discuss with father.”

“Good.” Qi Xuan nodded his head in response, and the two of them hurriedly descended the mountain right then and there, heading straight to the government office.

Mu Qinyuan just came back, when he saw Mu Ziyan and Qi Xuan, “Do you have an idea?”

“Father, my daughter wants to buy that mountain.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice.

“Good.” Mu Qinyuan did not ask for the reason, but responded cheerfully.

Mu Zi Yan turned his eyes and raised his eyebrows at Qi Xuan, very pleased, and then said, “Father, you can rest assured that this Funan mess up, the emperor let cousin to come, must be expected to Funan will be chaotic, so only thought of two birds with one stone plan.”

“It seems that the Emperor has schemers behind him.” Mu Qingyuan said in a cold voice.

Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, it seems that Mei Concubine did play a big role, the corner of her mouth hooked up an evil smile, just waiting for this time to go back and dispose of Mei Concubine.

Just as Mu Zi Yan and Mu Qing Yuan agreed on a plan, they heard the magistrate outside come to report, “Marquis, those refugees are rioting.”

“Over what,” Mu Qingyuan asked in a deep voice.

“Someone died after eating the relief porridge.” The yamen reported anxiously, “Those refugees then made a scene.”

“Go, go take a look.” Mu Qingyuan said and lifted his steps to the outside.

Qi Xuan looked at Mu Zi Yan, “They made a move”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded, “Forcefully suppress it first, we can’t let the riot expand.”

“Let’s go.” Qi Xuan nodded approvingly, and at that moment, they rushed to the refugee camp together.

Not far away came the screams, some refugees rushed up the street, rushed into the people’s homes to loot up, like a bandit, Mu Zi Yan eyes condensed, turned his eyes to look at Qi Xuan.

At this time, Qi Xuan had already raised his hand and ordered in a deep voice, “Those who do not obey the control will be punished for rebellion and killed on sight.”

“Yes.” The soldiers behind him led the order, and then they rushed forward to stop it.
