Chapter 190: Confusion (2 / 2)

“Last time, grandmother said that she couldn’t see you getting married, can you think of settling things down earlier” Qi’s low voice inquired.

“What Mother means is,” how could Mu Zi Yan not understand what Qi was saying.

“Yes, if you marry into the State Duke’s Mansion, I will be at ease.” Qi looked at her and said.

Mu Zi Yan was silent for a moment, “Mother, this matter is something my daughter needs to think about.”

“Good.” Qi nodded in response, “But only if you like it.”

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked at Qi, perhaps settling early on would be considered reassuring.

When Qi left, Mu Zi Yan was sitting down and pondering, when she heard a light cough coming from not far away, and saw Chu Ye lifting his steps and walking in, his eyes flashing through a darkness.

She looked up at him, “Uncle Shifu got the message”

“You want to think about it, but you didn’t reject it outright, it’s hard to believe that you have this in mind as well” Chu Ye asked as he raised his eyes to look at her.

“I don’t want to talk about this at this time today.” Mu Zi Yan looked at him and said.

“It seems that Smokey already has an idea.” Chu Ye suddenly laughed coldly and turned around to leave.

“Wait.” Mu Zi Yan looked at his departing back.

“I’ve put down the message you asked for.” Chu said and lifted his steps and headed out the door.

Mu Zi Yan, however, felt that Chu Ye just a few coughs were a bit wrong, raised his steps and chased out, and waited until he chased out of the State Duke’s mansion, and then saw him in a forest holding the back of a large tree.

She dropped and was about to step forward, but Chu raised his hand to stop her, “Don’t come over.”

Mu Zi Yan stopped short and whispered, “What’s wrong with you”

“It’s fine.” Chu whispered, “You go do what you need to do.”

As Mu Zi Yan stood in place, she saw that he was about to leave, and she rushed over and blocked him.

“What I do I know very well myself.” Mu Zi Yan looked straight at him, “I just don’t know what you’re going to do, are you clear”

“What did Smokey want to say” Chu looked straight at her but kept his smile on.

Mu Zi Yan took a step backward, not knowing why she had chased after him so impulsively, only feeling that if she let him go like this, something big might happen, but looking at him like this, she didn’t know how to speak.

“How exactly is your body” Mu Zi Yan looked at him and asked.

“It’s not in the way.” Chu whispered.

“Then let me see.” Mu Zi Yan stepped forward and looked at him, saying.

“When it’s really not in the way.” Chu Ye continued, “But Smokey said that men and women are different.”

Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly, “You go back with me.”

“Go back” Chu Ye obviously froze, beautiful eyes slightly moving, flashing a little starlight, the corners of the mouth smile deeper and deeper, “Where to go?”

“If you like this where to go” Mu Zi Yan also feel that he said this too much meaning ambiguous, lightly cough a few times, raised eyebrows and asked.

“I’m going back to the Hot Springs Manor.” Chu said, looking at her.

“Then I’ll accompany you back to the hot spring manor.” Mu Zi Yan said, then stood at his side, “Let’s go.”

“Smokey is worried about me” Chu asked with a smile as he looked at her sideways.

“What do you think” Mu Zi Yan asked rhetorically, while raising her steps forward, “Still not going”

“Good.” Chu responded with a light smile and walked forward with her.

Not far away, Qi Xuan and Mu Lingxuan landed, Qi Xuan’s eyes flashed a touch of gloom, staring straight ahead, his heart was more than a wave of hard to hide sadness.

Mu Lingxuan sighed along with him, “Sister has no possibility with him whatsoever.”

“But cousin,” Qi Xuan snorted, “I should have realized that long ago.”

“And why are you like this, even if you have this mind for your sister, you should have said so.” Mu Lingxuan looked at him and said.

“If I say it out loud, in case she doesn’t have that intention, I won’t be as close to her as I am today.” Qi Xuan laughed lowly and said, “That’s fine, as long as you look at her from afar like this.”

Mu Lingxuan shook his head helplessly, looking at his back as he turned to leave, and whispered, “Still really a nerd.”

Mu Zi Yan sent Chu Ye back to the Hot Springs Manor, and only after seeing him lie down did she go out of Qinya Xuan, and then went back to her house, unfolding the secret letter that Chu Ye had put down before he left, and when she read it, she sighed, “So that’s how it is.”

A figure fell and she saw Yun Fei standing in front of her.

“What’s wrong,” Mu Zi Yan asked in a low voice when she saw that he did not look unhappy.

“Idiot.” Yun Fei snorted coldly and turned around.

Mu Zi Yan hurriedly blocked in front of him, “Brat, you’re the idiot.”

Yun Fei twisted his head to not look at her and then sat down.

“Do you know something” Mu Zi Yan hurriedly sat down and came forward to ask.

Yun Fei hastily stepped back, “Don’t let it be said.”

“Who’s not allowed to say,” Muzzy Smoke asked, coming forward again.

“If you don’t let it be said, you don’t let it be said.” Cloudflare stepped back again, “Idiot.”

Mu Zi Yan saw Yun Fei suddenly break the window and go out, she could not catch up since, she stomped her feet hatefully, “Brat, dare to say I’m an idiot once more try”

“Stupid,” came Cloudflare’s voice from the distance.

Mu Zi Yan rushed out in a hurry, where could she still see Yun Fei’s trail, she said in a deep voice, “Bai Xuan”

“Master.” Bai Xuan then dropped down.

“Go and bring Yun Fei back to me.” Mu Zi Yan said in a cold voice.

“Master, Yun Fei has already left the manor and hid in the mountains.” Bai Xuan said with a difficult expression on his face.

“In the mountains,” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, “He’s a fast runner.”

“Master, are there any more orders,” Bai Xuan saw Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowing slightly, seemingly infuriated.

“It’s fine.” Mu Zi Yan waved her hand and turned around, then went back to the house, muttering in anger, “To say that I’m an idiot”

The next morning, Mu Zi Yan woke up and went to the Qinya Xuan, since there was no sign of Chu Ye, thought he was going to the Divine Doctor’s door, but now there is not much time, grandmother’s compulsion is not

She thought so, where there is still mind to think of other things, then also without delay, left the hot springs manor back to the State Duke’s Mansion.

“Cousin.” Qi Xuan saw her return and called out in a warm voice.

“Cousin.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at him and whispered, “I know what Second Auntie found out in the first place.”

“What is it,” Qi Xuan asked, looking at her.

Mu Zi Yan, however, thought of a plan at this moment, and then looked at them, “I would like to see how deep that person behind the curtain can hide.”

“It’s hard to believe that cousin is trying to take advantage” Qi Xuan said as he looked at her.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded at him.

When they arrived at the front hall, all of them were sitting in one place, and the Duchess of State looked at Mu Ziyan and said in a low voice, “Now only the old madam is left.”

Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, “Don’t worry, Great Auntie, Yan’er went back to the Divine Healer Sect last night, and has since found a method to lift the parasites.”

“Really,” Mrs. Guo Gong was even happier now, looking at her with a joyful face.

“Exactly.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, “Smokey remembers that Auntie Qiu’s place is still there”

“In.” The State Duchess frowned even more when she saw her suddenly change the topic and remembered Auntie Qiu.

Mu Zi Yan continued, “Great Auntie, is Second Auntie’s courtyard still there as well”

“Yes.” The State Duchess continued, “But it’s all been sitting there for too long, and I’m afraid the inside is covered in dust.”

“Smokey remembers that Auntie Qiu left one thing behind before she died, so I think that Second Auntie’s place should also leave something behind, so Smokey wants to go and look for it.” Mu Zi Yan looked at her and said.

“It seems that you have found out something, in that case, go ahead.” The State Duchess nodded her head slightly as a promise.

When the others heard about this, they all looked at each other in disbelief, not really knowing the meaning of the words of the State Duchess.

Qi Xue’er had rested for the night, and now she looked a little better, “First cousin, I’ll accompany you.”

“Good.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and answered.

When the crowd dispersed, Qi brought Mu Ling Jue to leave the State Duke’s Mansion and return to the Marquis Mu Mansion.

Inside the Marquis Mu Mansion, the old madam was happy to learn that the State Duke’s old lady was afraid of dying, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she coldly hummed, “She should have gone long ago.”

“Old madam, do you think this time the eldest young lady will still” asked from Sister looking at the old madam.

“That girl is bizarre, but this time it’s different, even the Greatest Goddesses can’t save her.” The old madam coldly grunted.

“It seems that this time, Elder Lady Guo Gong is truly nearing the end of her lifespan.” From Sister followed with a smile.

“Yes, if it wasn’t for that girl, she would have gone early in the morning.” The old madam’s eyes narrowed slightly, seeing Mu Zi Yan as a thorn in her side.

From Sister nodded and responded, “Old Lady, the Lady has returned to the house.”

“Back to the house,” the old lady’s eyes narrowed, “at this hour.”

“Just got back.” Returned from Sister with downcast eyes.

“Go and inquire and see why you are back at this hour,” queried the old lady.

“Yes.” From Sister answered with her head hanging down, and then she retreated.

After a quarter of an hour, from Sister came back and whispered, “Old Lady, I heard that Missy has found the antidote, Old Lady Guo Gong”

“Impossible.” The old madam’s eyes flashed with a flash of surprise, and she said in a self-evidently unbelievable manner.

“Elder Lady, it seems that Elder Lady Guo Gong was not meant to die.” From Sister’s downcast eyes whispered back.

“No, absolutely impossible, but anyone who has been poisoned by that compulsion, how could they possibly be alive not to mention that there is no antidote in this world at all.” The old madam’s eyes sank slightly, “Can’t it be that this girl is making a trick”

“I don’t know.” From Sister answered with downcast eyes.

“Send someone to keep a close eye on them, and report immediately at the first sign of movement.” The old madam said in a cold voice.

“Yes.” From Sister answered and retreated.

Qi’s back to the Jiyue courtyard, just rested, cui maister will hang his head to enter, “lady, really the old madam that place is aware of this compulsion.”

“Eh” Qi’s eyes were slightly clenched, “What did she say”

“It says that there is no antidote in the world for that compulsion.” Sister Cui whispered.

“Then Smoke’s place” Qi’s eyes lowered flashed a flash of ghostly light, “you tell Smoke’s this news, whether the old pious woman deliberately said it, or whether what she said is true, so that Smoke’s place can find out the truth as soon as possible.”

“Yes.” Sister Cui answered and then went to order.

Mu Zi Yan at this moment is heading to the courtyard where Auntie Qiu lived before, when entering the house, it is indeed a dusty inside, she remembered that she found the secret passage at that time, and took out some secret letters from the inside, and now she thinks that there is no trace in it again.

Qi Xue’er raised her eyes to look around and turned her eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, “Eldest cousin, can you find anything”

“Not yet.” Mu Zi Yan shook her head.

“I feel uneasy every time I come to this place.” Qi Xue’er said faintly.

“In that case, then go out.” Mu Zi Yan said with a light smile.

“No, it’s better to find something first.” Qi Xue’er whispered.

Yunxiang hung his head inside, since the news from the house reported to Mu Zi Yan, she listened, her eyes flashed a flash of ghostly light, whispered, “When there is really no solution.”

“First cousin, what’s wrong with you” Qi Xue’er asked as she looked up at her.

“It’s fine, let’s go out.” Mu Zi Yan looked towards Qi Xue’er and answered in a low voice.

“Good.” Qi Xue’er raised her eyes and looked at her, then walked forward, not knowing that her body was still not well, her feet went soft and she fell forward.

“Careful.” Mu Zi Yan reached out to grab her, and when her hands slipped, Qi Xue’er planted herself on the ground.

It was too late to make a sound, then I saw the ground suddenly shook, Mu Zi Yan lowered his eyes to see, and hurriedly yanked her up, and looked down at that the ground then slowly opened like this.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked at Qi Xue’er, “What’s going on here”

“I don’t know.” Qi Xue’er said, shaking her head.

She carefully sized up Qi Xue’er, lifting her eyes to look around, then to the ground that had been opened, and immediately lifting her wrist, “The bracelet on this is”

“Oh, this is what fourth aunt gave me.” Qi Xue’er said as she looked at her.

“She,” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, then said, “I’ll go down and take a look, you stand here and don’t move.”

“Good.” Qi Xue’er nodded her head, but was a bit uneasy, “Eldest cousin, why don’t I accompany you down.”

“There’s no harm, I’ll just go down alone, in case there’s really something down there, you can also come up on me.” Mu Zi Yan looked at her and said.

“Good, then be careful.” Qi Xue’er pondered for a moment and felt that Mu Zi Yan’s words were reasonable, so she nodded her head and responded.

Mu Zi Yan leaped, then entered the secret passage, raised her eyes and looked around, followed by a glance at the walls of the secret passage, thinking that it was different from Auntie Qiu’s place, this one should be dug through at the back, her eyes flashed a cold light, did not go up to the front, but came out from the secret passage.

“Eldest cousin, can there be anything in there” Qi Xue’er looked at Mu Zi Yan and asked.

“Let’s go out first.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.

“Good.” Qi Xue’er nodded her head and replied, then she left with Mu Zi Yan, and the secret passageway closed itself.

Once they were out of Auntie Qiu’s courtyard, Mu Zi Yan went to the Second Lady’s courtyard with Qi Xue’er, who had quite a few doubts in her mind.

“First cousin, there is something wrong with this bracelet” Qi Xue’er looked at her and asked.

“This bracelet was personally given to you by Fourth Auntie” Mu Zi Yan asked immediately after.

“Not really.” Qi Xue’er shook her head and said, “It was because Fourth Uncle saw that I liked it, so he asked Fourth Aunt to give it to me.”

“Then what was Fourth Aunt’s expression at that time” Mu Zi Yan then asked.

“Vaguely see some reluctance.” Qi Xue’er looked down at the bracelet, “Right, I remembered, a few days ago, the fourth aunt also let the sixth sister to come to find me, since it is on this bracelet, want to ask for it back.”

“Does this count as one hundred percent of the secrets and one hundred percent of the mistakes,” Mu Zi Yan said with a cold smile.

“Eldest cousin, it’s hard to believe that fourth aunt is” Qi Xue’er came to a realization and looked at Mu Zi Yan with a stunned expression.

Mu Zi Yan shook her head and said, “Nowadays, there is no conclusive evidence to say that it is fourth aunt.”

“But Fourth Auntie has a gentle nature, and she doesn’t have any disputes with the house, and has a kind face and a kind heart, so she doesn’t seem like that kind of person.” Qi Xue’er whispered.

“Even if she is not the mastermind, but she is still related to this matter.” Mu Zi Yan said coldly, “Cousin, you must not divulge this matter.”

“I’ll save it.” Qi Xue’er nodded in response.

Mu Zi Yan then did not say anything else, but joined her in inspecting the furnishings in the Second Lady’s house.

“Eldest cousin, do you think there are secret passages in the second aunt’s house as well,” Qi Xue’er looked at her and asked.

“I don’t know.” Mu Zi Yan whispered, “I won’t know until I look for it.”

“I am the one who hasn’t even seen Second Aunt’s face.” Qi Xue’er muttered, “But I’ve heard people say that Second Aunt has an extremely good nature and is very beautiful.”

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked at her, “Then compared to great aunt”

“The Yin family’s young ladies are all beauties.” Qi Xue’er whispered.

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “I think my cousin is beautiful just the way she is.”

“Eldest cousin is making fun of me again.” Qi Xue’er blushed slightly, so she casually flipped through her hands.

Mu Zi Yan was looking back and forth, and the two of them did not find any clues.

However, Mu Zi Yan always looked at the bracelet in Qi Xue’er’s hand, Qi Xue’er simply took off the bracelet and handed it to her, “First cousin, why don’t you take a closer look at it again, maybe you can still find something.”

“I just feel that there is some déjà vu in the pattern of this bracelet.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice as she stared at the pattern on the bracelet.

“I then saw that the pattern was special before,” Qi Xue’er said with a smile.

Mu Zi Yan looked carefully, seems to think of something, raised his eyes and looked around, followed by into the inner room, and then walked to the trousseau before the eyes looked down at the place where a brocade box placed to pick up, “is not very like”

“It’s really similar, can’t it be that this brocade box is the one that contains this bracelet” Qi Xue’er looked at Mu Zi Yan and then said, “Then this bracelet is the second aunt’s.”
