Chapter 161 – You Like Him (Second Shift) (2 / 2)

“Mistress, the master has not yet returned.” Ruqin whispered back.

“What time is this,” Zhu Yue for some reason only felt as if something bad was happening.

While thinking about it, he suddenly watched a black shadow flash in front of his eyes, while Ruqin had already fainted on the ground, Zhu Yue’s eyes widened, and he saw the black shadow land in front of her.

She hastily shielded the small of her back and looked at him with wide eyes, “You”

“En.” The black shadow’s eyes were like a swirl of unreadable vortexes, and his face was veiled, so he couldn’t see his appearance, but with the simple aura emanating from his body, this person was not to be underestimated.

He stepped forward and pressed Zhu Yue directly underneath him, nibbling her lips hard through the veil, causing Zhu Yue to widen her eyes and brace her hands on his thick chest, wanting to struggle but having to take into account the child in her arms.

Waiting straight until he left her lips, she gasped violently and whispered, “I’m pregnant with your child.”

“Grace.” He didn’t have much to say, just lifted his hand and cupped her jaw with his calloused fingertips, “Give birth and I’ll take you.”

Zhu Yue’s eyes flashed with a complex look, just staring at him in a daze, “Where can you take me”

“To go or not to go,” the man said in a deep voice, clearly not giving her any choice.

“Good.” Zhu Yue looked straight at him, as if he was sucked into the dark and heavy vortex in those eyes and could not extricate himself from it, his heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, and he just answered in a wooden voice.

The man came up and ravaged her lips some more before he got up and flew away.

Zhu Yue lay on the bed, raised her hands to cover her burning cheeks, and took a deep breath, that person was too wild and overbearing for her to resist.

Ruqin woke up quietly, touching the back of her neck that was a bit sore, raising her eyes to look at Zhu Yue lying on the bed in a daze, she hurriedly climbed up and rushed forward, “Madam, are you alright”

“It’s okay.” Zhu Yue then came back to his senses, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and whispered, “I’ll take a break.”

“Yes.” Ruqin didn’t know exactly what had happened, she just looked at Zhu Yue’s collar a little messy, lips red and swollen, she converged the suspicious ghostly light under her eyes, then she retreated.

After a while, Ruqin came back, “Madam, Master is back.”

“En.” Zhu Yue nodded her head and lowered her head to gently caress the fetus in her abdomen, she originally wanted to utilize this child, however, now she wanted to give birth to him.

For some reason, she is not as annoyed as before, but instead has a feeling of relief, waiting until Mu Qinglin comes in, she raises her hand to tidy up her makeup and turns her eyes to look at him with a smile.

Mu Qinglin entered the house and marched to the bed, seeing Zhu Yue’s color was much better, he then sighed in relief, “Are you alright”

“It’s okay.” Zhu Yue shook his head and leaned smoothly into his arms, “Just missed you.”

“I rushed back after my shift was over.” Mu Qinglin’s heart warmed as he listened to Zhu Yue’s words, and then he hugged her and whispered, “How was it this day?”

“Rather better.” Zhu Yue smiled back.

Mu Qinglin was about to inquire further when he saw Ruqin come in, “Master, the old madam has summoned you to go.”

“En.” Mu Qinglin nodded his head in response and looked toward Zhu Yue and whispered, “I’ll go and come.”

“Go on.” Zhu Yue thoughtfully responded.

Mu Qinglin’s heart was getting more and more ironic, he lowered his head and dropped a shallow kiss between her forehead, turned around and left the house.

Zhu Yue then breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that Mu Qing Lin was treating her very well nowadays, however, compared to the excitement and pleasure that man gave her that she had never experienced before, and then remembering Mu Qing Lin’s situation nowadays, she already had an idea in her heart.

When Mu Qinglin arrived at the Long Pine Courtyard, he saw Mu Ling Chao standing at the side, and he stepped forward to salute the old lady, “My son has met my mother.”

“Grace.” The old lady nodded in response.

Mu Ling Chao also bowed respectfully at this moment, “My son has met my father.”

“En.” Mu Qing Lin did not have any unnecessary emotions towards Mu Ling Chao, if he was not his own son, Mu Qing Lin would not even give him the slightest glance.

Mu Ling Chao is aware of it, he can never forget how his mother died, so for Mu Qing Lin, all he has is a strong hatred, but now he does not have the ability to kill him, otherwise, Mu Qing Lin is afraid that he would have already died.

Of course, Mu Qing Lin didn’t know that Mu Ling Chao had such a mindset, if he knew, he would have definitely removed Mu Ling Chao, so as not to feed the tiger.

The old madam looked at Mu Qinglin, “I heard that Aunt Zhu was in severe ecstasy these past few days.”

“Mother, it’s better today.” When Mu Qinglin saw that the old madam was rarely concerned about Zhu Yue, he was inevitably a bit puzzled.

The old madam was able to see the meaning in Mu Qing Lin’s eyes, and at that moment, she pressed down the fire in her heart, this bitch really has the means to confuse her son like this.

The old madam took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “I have a five hundred year old ginseng here that was left behind by your father back then, so take it and use it for her.”

“Son thanks mother.” Mu Qinglin saw that the old madam had actually taken out all her treasures, so he rejoiced, and immediately responded.

The old madam saw that he was so happy that he was actually giving up his treasure to that bitch for her, she was furious, and waited until Mu Qinglin joyfully took the ginseng and left, the old madam could not help but be furious.

Mu Ling Chao was quiet and stood by the side, not daring to provoke, and waited until the old lady’s anger dissipated some, before he went forward to hand the old lady a cup of hot tea.

The old madam raised her hand to receive it, and seeing that Mu Ling Chao was so understanding, she then sighed and said with quite a sigh of relief, “Nowadays, you’re the only one on my old woman’s side.”

“Grandmother, father is just nervous about the younger brother in Aunt Zhu’s belly.” Mu Ling Chao rarely spoke, but now he spoke toward Mu Qing Lin.

The old madam this heart instead of anger, but happy, nodded and said, “Since it is, but how do you know it is the younger brother”

“Chao’s days with grandmother are limited, if Aunt Zhu can give birth to a younger brother, she will be able to spend more time with grandmother, which is good.” Mu Ling Chao said with downcast eyes.

“This child of yours is thoughtful.” The old madam listened and became more and more relieved, at that moment, she let from the grandma to take quite a lot of tonic to Mu Ling Chao, moreover, she let the maids in front of Mu Ling Chao to wait for them.

After Mu Ling Chao left, the old madam’s brows were filled with a few more points of smiles.

“Old madam, the third young master is more attentive to you than to the third master.” From Sister said from the side.

“Since.” The old madam responded in a low voice, “He has always stayed by my side, since he has been loyal to me, now that I can’t count on my son, I can only count on my grandson.”

“Old madam, don’t worry about Aunt Zhu’s place, her body, if she wants to have a smooth labor, it’s very difficult, when the time comes, she’ll do some more tricks” said from the grandma in a low voice.

“By the way, how is Smokey Girl,” the old madam asked in a low voice.

“Missy has been within the Imperial Tomb and has not made any movements, however, County Princess Ming An has been going to make trouble every day for the past few days, but he has been turned away by Missy.” From Sister whispered back.

“En.” The old madam said in a deep voice, “It’s the spring year, hurry up and get rid of her before the spring year.”

“Old madam, side consort Zhong has already made a move.” From Sister came forward, “But to”

“If she can’t make it at her place, there’s still my place, and the plan stays the same.” The old lady said coldly.

“Yes.” From Sister answered, and then retreated.

Mu Qinglin happily returned to Lanxin Garden, seeing Zhu Yue finally able to eat something, he smiled and went up to hand her that ginseng, “This is what mother asked me to take to you.”

“Old madam is rather thoughtful.” Zhu Yue softly responded.

“This body of yours is well so that this child can be at peace.” Mu Qinglin said as he wrapped his arms around her.

“En.” Zhu Yue nodded, obediently leaned in his arms, Mu Qing Lin’s words are not unreasonable, if she is not able to nourish her body, even if this child can really be born in the future, what about her life?

Zhu Yue thought so, then secretly made a good plan, at that moment, let Ruqin go to boil this ginseng.

Mu Zi Yan and the others came back from the hot spring manor and dispersed separately.

Nyonya Lu was sitting inside the carriage, looking at her with a joyful smile.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows, tilting her head and blinking, “Sister Lu, why are you looking at me like this”

“It’s nothing.” Lady Lu faintly opened her lips, “Just thinking that you are too inviting as a girl.”

“Sister Lu, you have something to say here.” Mu Zi Yan laughed lightly, “Or are you hiding something from me”

The corner of Niang Lu’s mouth turned away, and she continued, “Well, I was just praising you for a couple of sentences, but you came to condescend to my words.”

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “Sister Lu, we’ve been playing outside for a few days, this Brother Zhang is in a hurry, right?”

“What’s his hurry,” Nyonya Lu sneered, “He won’t be able to go anyway.”

Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, “That’s true, if he goes, there will be no one to watch over the official business of this Jing Zhaoyin’s government office.”

“That’s, how important he is.” Lady Lu raised her eyes to look at her, “Nope, you girl are turning a corner and poking fun at me.”

Mu Zi Yan smiled pleasantly, “Sister Lu, it seems like, ah, you didn’t miss Big Brother Zhang at the Hot Spring Manor.”

“Hmph.” Niangzi Lu coldly grunted and lowered her eyes, “What am I hanging on to him for.”

Mu Zi Yan knew that Lady Lu had a secret, but she didn’t know exactly what it was, just looking at her like this, this heart is really not good.

The two of them then also like this to talk and laugh back to the Beijing Zhaoyin government office, Zhang Zong learned that the two of them came back, and quickly greeted with a smile.

Seeing him like this, Mu Zi Yan lightly laughed and said, “Look at that, he’s really in a hurry.”

Zhang Zong was slightly stunned, “You guys have finally returned, if you don’t come back, I will go there myself.”

“It seems like I came back early after all.” Mu Zi Yan said quietly.

“No.” Zhang Zong continued, “Here, the imperial decree that just came through.”

Mu Zi Yan mouth slightly convergence, then will be the imperial decree over, to be read after, can not help but have some headaches, “can not be more peaceful.”

“Hey, I also do not want ah.” Zhang Zong also some headache, this thought this day off, also go to get together, did not expect to be out of this kind of thing.

Mu Zi Yan’s brows furrowed, then said, “How could it be at this time?”

“Tomorrow is the wedding of Cui Shizi and the second Miss Lan, and this kind of thing happened today, it seems that this second Miss Lan is really an ominous person.” Niangzi Lu quietly opened her lips from the side.

Mu Zi Yan knew that Lady Lu was deliberately mocking Lan Xin Er by saying so, she then put away the holy decree, “Let’s go.”

“En.” Zhang Zong responded, and then the three of them rushed to Marquis Cui’s residence.

Because of the last Cui Yun Ran thing, Cui Houfu has been a lot of peace, did not expect this critical juncture, but out of this kind of thing.

When Mu Zi Yan rushed to Cui Houfu with Zhang Zong, he saw Cui Ming kneeling on the ground without saying a word, Mrs. Cui Houfu pinched her kerchief and wiped tears from the corners of her eyes, and Master Cui Houfu was so angry that he was pacing back and forth.

“Marquis.” Zhang Zong entered the front hall and arched his hand.

Marquis Cui saw Zhang Zong come and said in a low voice, “This matter will be a favor to Lord Zhang.”

“I will solve the case as soon as possible.” Zhang Zong answered in a deep voice, obviously tomorrow is the wedding day, if this matter can not be resolved today, tomorrow I am afraid that Marquis Cui and Marquis Blue will become a joke in the capital.

Mu Zi Yan stood aside, then saw Cui Ming kneeling on the ground without saying a word, can not see clearly color, but look at this appearance, think it is repentant.

She knew that Cui Ming was a playboy, uneducated, did not expect to be so bold to such an extent, but she knew better that Cui Ming is also a brain, how could this time out of the first such a mistake!

Zhang Zong whispered, “What about the body?”

“In,” Marquis Cui was so angry he couldn’t even speak.

Lady Marquis Cui raised her eyes to look at Zhang Zong, and the Sister at the side stepped forward and said, “Lord Zhang, please follow the old slave.”

“En.” Zhang Zong replied in a low voice, and then together with Niangzi Lu and Mu Ziyan, he followed that Sister around the front hall to the back hall.

After passing through the study and entering the back courtyard, and then immediately seeing the wigwam not far away, that Sister whispered, “It’s right here.”

Zhang Zong went up and saw a woman lying, covered only with a robe, now the cold weather, the body will be placed like this, inevitably let Mu Zi Yan some displeasure.

That Sister saw that Zhang Zong’s face did not look good, and said in a low voice, “Originally, I was going to put it away, but the master of that house would not let me, saying that I had to wait until the official master came.”

“Oh.” Zhang Zong whispered, “You can tell me what’s going on.”

“This old slave is not too clear, just this morning, someone had to break into the house, said his family’s young lady was the young master captured into the house, the outside of the housekeeper is not allowed, the two sides then fought, I did not expect that the start of the bold lackeys really barged in, a rummage, and found this place, just to see the young master,” said the grandmother, hanging his head back. The grandmother hung her head and replied.

“This place is hidden, but with people coming from outside and such a big commotion, could it be that Cui Shizi didn’t hear it” Zhang Zong asked in disbelief.

“The old slave also felt strange, just at that time, the eldest young master indeed did not hear.” Sister went on to say, “That up son of a slave broke in and then picked up the eldest young master, and then tangled together, fortunately the marquis came back just in time, which stopped it, but I did not expect that family to see their own young lady like this, so they rushed to report to the police.”

Zhang Zong coldly said, “Do you know who that is”

“The old slave also learned about it later, being the young lady of Consort Liu’s state uncle’s family.” The old slave hung his head and returned.

“The commotion of this matter is not small.” Mu Zi Yan continued, “I think that State Uncle directly entered the palace.”

“Exactly, now the Blue Family is afraid that they know about it as well.” Zhang Zong continued.

“This young lady is” Mu Zi Yan looked down at the appearance, cheeks red and swollen, because of the cold weather, has been frozen into a greenish-purple, it is inevitable that some can not distinguish, just Mu Zi Yan think, even if not allowed to collect the body, but nowadays the family of the state uncle it

“Hey, this woman is also just an unfavored concubine daughter, just reached maturity soon.” Zhang Zong went on to say, “It was only because she accompanied the state uncle’s wife out, she got lost halfway, and later realized that she was snatched away by Cui Shizi, which annoyed the state uncle, so she chased after her, but just for the sake of face.”

Lv Niangzi in a side listening, cold snorting, “Is the life of the concubine daughter will not be worth it, she is at least the state uncle’s house of the real Miss, is also considered the master, so covered with a robe thrown here, this is not the face of the face.”

“Who did I think it was,” a voice suddenly interrupted Niangzi Lu.

When Niangzi Lu turned her eyes, she saw a lady standing there, her eyes flashed a cold light, and she said in a deep voice, “So it’s just an ignorant woman who doesn’t know how to be shameless.”

Mu Zi Yan face a cold, since I recognized the person who came, it is that resounding state uncle wife, she went forward slightly blessed, “Since the folk daughter is ignorant, then this case will be handed over to those who have the ability to do it well.”

After she said that, she took Niangzi Lu’s hand and directly crossed over to Madam Guoyu to leave.

Zhang Zong glanced at the State Uncle’s wife and said in a deep voice, “This official will report to His Holiness, knowing that he is incompetent and unable to break the case of the State Uncle’s family.”

The state uncle lady heard, immediately will be angry, “Humph, Zhang big man on the surface is a gentleman’s faction, behind the scenes but do the hooks of male thieves and female prostitutes, is not this lady said wrong, this capital who knows you and Lv lady that file thing, no matchmaking met.”

Zhang Zong immediately grimaced and said in a deep voice, “It seems that Mrs. State Uncle has been capable since, then this official will not hinder Mrs. State Uncle from solving the case.”

He flung his sleeve away at that moment.

When Mrs. Cui Hou rushed here, she saw this scene, and went up to look at Mrs. Guoyu, and coldly hummed, “Rather I don’t know whether this place is Cui Hou’s residence, or Guoyu’s residence.”

State uncle wife but also did not show weakness, “Yes, why I good end to come to your Cui marquis house it is not Cui Shizi did a good thing, plainly let the state uncle house also followed the disgrace, this lady since it is not rare to come.”

Cui marquis wife has never seen this kind of sharp-tongued, in the past days will know that this state uncle wife of the arrogant, eloquent, is a not to be messed with, and now really is to see with their own eyes, her eyes open angrily, “Since the state uncle wife like to the face of the state uncle house trampled on the feet, then put it.”

Mrs. Cui Hou strike turned to leave, the state uncle lady where can let her leave so easily, at the moment coldly snorted, “Yes, when tomorrow’s big wedding, I’ll let all the guests come to see, this Cui Shizi what kind of clothes and animals.”

Mrs. Cui Hou was so angry that she rushed over right then and there, “Mrs. State Uncle, this matter has not yet been decided, if you want to be wild, go back to your State Uncle’s Mansion despite yourself.”
