Chapter 165 – Consort Yun’s Trust (Second Shift) (1 / 2)

The Smoke Drop Courtyard was bustling with activity, and all of the people made a lot of noise until after dinner before they left with a sense of humor.

Mu Zi Yan had since personally sent them away before turning around and heading back to the Mu Hou Mansion.

Mu Lingxuan turned his eyes to look at Su Qinru standing beside Mu Ziyan and said in a low voice, “Come here.”

Su Qinrou raised her eyes to look at Mu Lingxuan, shyly looked back to Mu Ziyan, and said in a mosquito voice, “I’d better follow sister Mu.”

“Good boy, come here.” Mu Lingxuan had a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth and said in a warm voice.

“Brother lets you stand beside him, since he treats you as a family member, why don’t you go over” Mu Zi Yan raised her hand and pushed her over.

Only then did Su Qinrou slowly march to Mu Lingxuan’s side, already blushing and looking a bit overwhelmed.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at Mu Ling Xuan and then to Su Qin Rou, the corner of her mouth hooked into a pleased smile.

Several people did not enter the mansion, still standing at the gate, not long after, they saw Qi also holding Mu Ling Jue came.

Su Qin Rou stood beside Mu Ling Xuan’s body and blessed herself, “Qin Rou has seen Madam.”

“Girl Zuo has the heart.” Qi saw that Su Qinruo was also waiting here, so she nodded in satisfaction.

Su Qinrou’s face turned redder and redder, but her heart was overflowing with warmth, so she obediently stood at Mu Lingxuan’s side.

Mu Zi Yan stepped forward, “Mother.”

“When your father returns, we will be considered a family reunion.” Qi only thought about the many twists and turns since she had been in labor since she had been in labor, and she was overwhelmed with emotion.

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “Mother, my daughter hugs her younger brother.”

“Good.” Qi smiled and answered, then carefully handed Mu Ling Jue to her

Mu Zi Yan hands received, since familiar with holding, also do not know is between brother and sister blood is thicker than water kinship sensation, Mu Ling Jue to stay in Mu Zi Yan’s arms did not have the slightest dissatisfaction, but instead open wide eyes looking at her, the meaty little hand uneasily stretched out, pulling her green silk, “giggle” laughing.

Mu Zi Yan looked on with a smile and whispered, “Jue’er, I’m a sister.”

“This child is quite resourceful.” Qi is aware of, Mu Ling Jue since birth, in addition to her and Cui Ma’am holding, other people holding will cry and fuss, even Mu Ling Xuan, is the same, now but by Mu Zi Yan holding, not crying and fussing, but instead of a smile, I think it is because of the original is the smoke of the birth of the child, so the child opened his eyes the first to see is the smoke of the child, since it will be so familiar with.

Mu Zi Yan lowered her head and rubbed the tip of her nose against Mu Ling Jue’s tender cheeks, the corners of her mouth overflowing with a smile as gentle as the spring breeze, making people look at it with a few more points of spring warmth.

“Jue’er, smile.” Mu Zi Yan teased Mu Ling Jue, and since she attracted Su Qin Rou’s observation, she unconsciously came over.

Qi’s downcast eyes looked at Su Qinruo curious eyes, the corner of the mouth hooked up a faint smile, only to feel that their own vision of picking a daughter-in-law is not bad, this Su family’s girl since the good, look at the nature, and the style of the day, in the future, she will also be assured.

Mu Lingxuan’s warm eyes overflowed with a doting smile, looking at the three women in front of him, all of whom were the most important people in his life, at this moment, he was incomparably happy.

Mu Zi Yan heart a thousand emotions, after the previous life of the family broke up, and now live again, the first spring since the family reunion, such happiness is her previous life dare not hope for, but now it is true that exists, how can she not rejoice!

Although she had been a lonely ghost for a thousand years and had seen the world, she had never given up hope, even though she had planted the seed of evil in her heart, but after being reborn, she had gained the love of her family and friends, which suppressed the evil in her heart, and what was left was only warmth.

She gently hugged Mu Ling Jue, raising her eyes to look at the warm smiles of her mother, brother, and Su Qin Rou, and at this moment, she felt content.

Only the sound of hoofbeats could be heard from not far away, that sound was getting closer and closer, and everyone’s gazes left Mu Ling Jue’s body, looking straight forward through the night.

“Back.” Qi was self-congratulatory.

Mu Zi Yan smiled shallowly, glancing down at Mu Ling Jue in her arms, then at Su Qin Rou, seeing that she was a bit nervous, this time was different from the past, it was inevitable that she was a bit worried.

Mu Lingxuan gently touched her sleeve on the side, lowered his eyes and smiled gently at her, Su Qinrou’s eyes flashed a touching light, panicked heart at this moment gradually calmed down.

The corner of Mu Zi Yan’s mouth hooked up a faint smile, she only felt that the woman who could be loved by her brother was the happiest in the world, and Su Qin Rou also loved her brother wholeheartedly, which was what she wished to see.

He waited until a tall figure appeared, reined in his horse, fell off his horse, and strutted forward.

Mu Zi Yan rushed to welcome her along with Qi since, “Father.”

“Marquis.” Qi’s eyes overflowed with tears, but she held back and did not stay, at this time, her eyes only had Mu Qingyuan in front of her.

Mu Qingyuan looked at Qi, his heart full of guilt, but just at this moment, he could only swallow it, holding her cold fingers, whispering, “waited for a long time, right”

“Soon, it will be good when Marquis returns.” Qi’s face flushed slightly, not realizing that Mu Qingyuan was standing outside the mansion and holding her hand in such an intimate manner.

Mu Zi Yan and Mu Lingxuan glanced at each other, apparently unspoken, and then pretended not to see the general, lowered his eyes and followed Mu Qingyuan and Qi together into the House, then went to the Jiyueyuan together.

Su Qin Rou is obediently followed by Mu Ling Xuan’s body, she is clear that the Marquis of Mu is a gentle person, and the Marquis of Mu Mrs. is also a loving person, these days together, she is very clear in her heart, she married into the Marquis of Mu in the future will not be aggrieved.

MuZiYan is holding MuLingJue refused to let go, quietly stand aside, wait until MuQingYuan take off the sable fur, change a clean clothes, wash and clean hands, out of the inner room, re-sit with the main seat, MuZiYan and MuLingXuan, SuQinRou this is only then again respectfully salute.

Mu Qingyuan looked at the pair of children in front of him, as well as his son who had just been born not long ago, and nodded with satisfaction, before settling his gaze on Su Qinruo, “This is Miss Su, isn’t it”

“Daughter is exactly.” Su Qinrou hung her head and answered.

“En, Miss Su and Smokey have always been good friends, I just came back, when I have time I will go up to the house to visit your father.” Mu Qingyuan said in a low voice, his tone since slowed down a lot.

Su Qinruo whispered, “My father also misses the marquis, if he learns that the marquis you came to the house, since it is joyful.”

“En.” Mu Qingyuan saw Su Qinruo’s speech and demeanor is gentle and elegant, small age but not formal, a faction of the temperament of the world’s young lady, turned his eyes to look at Qi, a hearty smile.

Qi’s here will also be pleased a lot, look at Su Qinru also more and more like.

Mu Zi Yan then handed Mu Ling Jue over, “Father, look at your younger brother, my daughter is a bit heavy even holding him.”

“Good.” Mu Qinyuan had already had this intention, but looking at Mu Zi Yan holding on to her unwillingness to give up, he also sat on the sidelines and watched.

How could Mu Zi Yan not see her own father’s mind, since she smiled and placed it in Mu Qing Yuan’s hands.

Qi carefully watched as Mu Qing Yuan held, afraid that he would make Mu Ling Jue cry if he exerted himself, only strangely enough, after Mu Qing Yuan held him, he just looked at Mu Qing Yuan with his eyes open, not crying or smiling, only that dark eyes penetrated an unusually resolute light.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to Qi, and then to Mu Ling Jue, and now all eyes fell on Mu Qing Yuan.

Mu Qinyuan smiled brightly, and immediately lifted Mu Ling Jue up, “Back then, grandmother said that when grandfather held father, father also looked like this.”

Qi now knew why Mu Qingyuan was happy and whispered, “This child is making a scene since.”

Mu Zi Yan then chimed in, “Yes, naughty and mischievous.”

“Sister is saying that grandfather was also mischievous when he was a child” Mu Lingxuan asked with a smile at this moment.

Mu Zi Yan nodded and responded, “I don’t know, I wasn’t there then.”

Su Qinrou watched this family talk amusingly, and could not help but laugh along.

Straight until Mu Qing Yuan had hugged him enough, then he reluctantly handed him over to Qi, but Mu Zi Yan suddenly took over, “Father, mother, this day my younger brother is with me.”

Said also did not wait for Qi’s start, then blessed, when the moment turned out of the Jiyue courtyard.

Mu Ling Xuan and Su Qin Rou exchanged a glance, the two of them then smiled and saluted before retreating.

Sister Cui let out a low laugh, and then she also followed out, and now the hall, which was still bustling just now, was quiet at the moment.

Mu Qingyuan turned his eyes to look at Qi, his broad palm holding her soft hand in his palm, carefully sizing her up, his tone carrying a few points of hard to hide longing, “It’s a lot thinner.”

“You too.” Qi’s eyes glistened with tears as she choked back a sob in response.

They both knew that if the child had not been born, they would have been separated from each other, and it was not easy for them to be reunited now.

Mu Qinyuan raised his hand and swept her into his arms, Qi leaned softly in his arms, there were no sweet words between the two of them, but it was the tacit understanding between a husband and wife of more than ten years, a thousand words but not as much as the tranquility of this moment of snuggling up to each other.

Sister Cui followed Mu Zi Yan, “Eldest Miss, the young master is here.”

“Sister Cui may not be a problem, you go serve father and mother, Jue’er has me here, master taught me.” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile.

“This,” Sister Cui was still a bit hesitant, but when she saw Mu Zi Yan holding the young master without crying or fussing, she could only reply, and then turned to leave.

Mu Lingxuan and Su Qinrou followed her side, Su Qinrou came over, “Sister Mu, I’m not going back tonight.”

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan readily answered.

“I’ll take care of Jue’er with you.” Su Qinruo continued.

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly, “You also happen to learn, lest you give birth to a nephew in the future with your hands full.”

Su Qinrou was anxious now, “Sister Mu, can’t you stop poking fun at me”

“Can’t.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, “If you don’t snicker now, in the future when you become my sister-in-law, then you can’t snicker at will.”

Mu Lingxuan laughed lightly on the side, then he saw Su Qinruo looking at him pitifully, he lowered his eyes and coughed dryly a few times, “When Rou’er enters the door, you will not be able to poke fun at it since, at that time, my sister thought that it was time for her to get married.”

“Yes.” Su Qinrou listened to Mu Lingxuan’s words, and immediately agreed with a smile.

“See, it’s really different.” The corner of Mu Zi Yan’s mouth twitched, “Now this is unanimous.”

“Unanimity,” Mu Lingxuan whispered, “So my sister has been treating me as an outsider.”

“Hmph.” Mu Zi Yan snorted coldly, “Yes?”

Su Qin Rou smiled and rounded off the scene, “I’m not wrong yet? In the future, casually make fun of sister Mu.”

“I wouldn’t dare.” Mu Zi Yan cast a sidelong glance at Mu Lingxuan, “Sister Su has helpers now.”

“Hey.” Su Qin Rou raised her eyes to look helplessly at Mu Ling Xuan, and then at Mu Ling Jue in Mu Zi Yan’s arms, “See, I can only talk to you nowadays.”

This is the Mu Zi Yan amused, whispered, “Su sister really do not go back.”

“En.” Su Qinruo nodded her head and answered.

“Then I will order someone to go to the mansion to send a message.” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile.

“I have already had the maid send a letter back to the house just now.” Su Qinruo continued.

“See, this is my good sister-in-law.” Mu Zi Yan continued to tease.

Mu Lingxuan, however, didn’t speak at the moment and just smiled and followed along.

Su Qin Rou low laugh, “Mu sister, you do not have to say me, tomorrow morning you will enter the palace, or not tomorrow I accompany you.”

“Not.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, “If you go together, can’t avoid being said by outsiders, and in turn ruin your reputation, this day you rest in this place, it is convenient to rationalize it.”

“Where I rest with them,” Su Qinruo coldly snorted, “I’m not used to this kind of dirty talk.”

Seeing that Su Qinrou had resumed her big-hearted nature, Mu Ziyan turned her eyes to Mu Lingxuan and said quietly, “Brother, sister-in-law is a person of temperament.”

“Sister Mu, I can’t say no more.” Su Qinrou pouted.

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “Okay, I’ll stop.”

“Hmph.” Su Qinrou also followed Mu Zi Yan’s example and coldly hummed.

Mu Lingxuan looked at the two people in front of him, but also just sighed, straight until the return to the smoke fall courtyard, Mu Lingxuan sat a little bit, then went back to his own courtyard.

Su Qinrou was sitting on the sidelines watching Mu Zi Yan was taking care of Mu Ling Jue resting, looking at that situation, very familiar, let her also feel a little incredible.

Mu Zi Yan waited to take care of Mu Ling Jue before raising her eyes to look at her, “Can you see it all”

“And.” Su Qinrou nodded her head and responded, “Sister Mu, how did you know all this”

“Being silly.” Mu Zi Yan raised her hand to take the hot tea handed by Yun Xiang and lightly sipped it.

Su Qinrou laughed lowly, “I forgot again.”

“I will leave the house with you early tomorrow morning.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Su Qin Rou and said, “I think my brother will send you back to the house tomorrow.”

“En.” Su Qinrou nodded and responded, “Sister Mu, I’m a little worried nowadays.”

“Worry about what,” Mu Zi Yan asked in a low voice, “the six princesses have gone, you can also rest assured, straight waiting for maturity to do my sister-in-law is.”

“I am worried about you.” Su Qinrou looked at her and sighed, “Your entry into the palace this time will not necessarily be a good thing.”

“I know.” Mu Zi Yan opened her mouth indifferently, “If it comes, then it will be safe, since I’m going to enter the palace, what should be faced is always to be faced, and if I keep escaping, I’ll only become more cowardly.”

“En.” Su Qinruo nodded, “I know.”

“Yes, this day I remember you mentioning County Lord Lin’an to come.” Mu Zi Yan looked at her and said, “If this County Lord Lin’an enters the palace tomorrow, she must be going to the Empress Dowager’s place, so I think I can meet her.”

“Sister Mu, this County Lord Lin’an is too mysterious, but I remember that she helped you.” Su Qinrou said as she looked at Mu Ziyan.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, “Therefore, that’s why I have doubts in my mind.”

“We’ll see when we enter the palace tomorrow.” Su Qinrou continued, “I’m only worried that if the Empress Dowager agrees to the Emperor’s offer of marriage to the Crown Prince, then what should happen?”

“How,” Mu Zi Yan said with a light smile, “If that’s true, either the crown prince dies or the crown prince is replaced.”

Su Qinruo’s figure gave a start, knowing that what Mu Ziyan said was true, so she immediately responded, “I understand.”

“Rest early.” Mu Zi Yan held Su Qin Rou’s hand, “You can’t get tired, or brother will be heartbroken.”

“Sister Mu, I kind of understand, you ah, just tease me all you want.” Su Qinru snorted coldly, so she didn’t bother.

Muzzy Smoke raised an eyebrow and nodded readily, “Looks like I’m snarking less.”

The two of them talked and fooled around for a while, and then they rested together.

The place has been peaceful since.

Inside the Long Pine courtyard, the old madam’s eyes flashed a flash of cold light, Mu Zi Yan since returning to the house, since she has not come to her place to ask for peace, she said in a deep voice, “When it is really not put me in the eyes.”

“Old madam, then the eldest young lady will not have you in her heart.” From Sister, she continued, “Even the Marquis has not come to your place to greet you.”

“Hmph.” The old madam said coldly, “All of them are white-eyed wolves.”

“Old madam, calm down.” From Sister hurriedly handed over tea, “You can’t be angry at this time now, tomorrow is the palace banquet.”

“That’s just it, this big house doesn’t put me in their eyes, how can I allow them to be so complacent” the old madam coldly grunted, “Just wait and see, the big house won’t last long.”

“What the Elder Mistress said.” From Sister whispered back.

Inside the Orchid Garden, Zhu Yue leaned in Mu Qing Lin’s arms, “Missy is really blessed, even though the Empress Dowager dispatched her to the Imperial Tombs, but this spring year she still let her come back, this day Marquis Mu’s house is really bustling, even Marquis Mu came back, the big house can be regarded as a family reunion ah, I heard that Missy Su stayed at the house as well.”

Mu Qinglin’s eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, “Smoke girl is an uncomplicated one, but I’m afraid tomorrow’s palace banquet will be very interesting.”

Zhu Yue was originally the eldest lady of the Pingxi County King’s House, since it is qualified to enter the palace, but now it has become a concubine, she can only stay in the back of the house, and became an aunt who can’t get on the stage, which is the most hidden pain in her heart, and it tortures her every day, but now she can’t show it.

Mu Qinglin whispered, “And don’t worry, I’ll be back earlier.”

“En.” Zhu Yue nodded her head and responded, if all this did not happen, she entered the palace and became a maiden, now she should be how scenic, but at this moment, she looked at her own increasingly emaciated appearance, as well as this slightly protruding belly, her heart overflowed with hatred.

Wait until dawn, Mu Zi Yan and Su Qin Rou will get up early, Mu Ling Jue woke up three times during the night, Mu Zi Yan because of the previous asked Cui Maa, so by that time, will let Yunxiang and Bi Yun staring, will wake her up, and so after taking care of, she then rest, so although rest is not stable, this heart is also solid.

Su Qinrou saw Mu Zi Yan so, full of admiration, this world can do this kind of careful to the brother is afraid that only Mu Zi Yan.

After the two washed and dressed properly, Mu Zi Yan will hold Mu Ling Jue out of the courtyard, Cui Ma Ma was waiting early in the morning, since it is from Yunxiang that learned about last night’s events, this heart to Mu Zi Yan is more respect for a few points.
