Chapter 192 – Unchanging, Peeking at the Fifth Prince’s Bathing (2 / 2)

Biyun and Yunxiang saw Mu Ziyan contemplating, they did not dare to disturb, and then they quietly retreated to the side.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows and looked at the distance, seemingly thinking of something, and then said, “How is the old mansion now”

“Back to the eldest young miss, the second master and second madam didn’t have any movement, but the second young grandma is restless.” Yunxiang hung her head and returned.

“What did she do,” Muzzy Smoke asked with a smile.

“Last night, she actually took a knife and almost killed the second young master.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice.

“What else,” Mu Zi Yan thought fearing that there was more to it than that.

“Ran into the second master’s courtyard with an aunt and hacked two maids to death, spoiling the second master’s good deed.” Yunxiang said with downcast eyes.

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “It’s quite lively.”

“Yes, early this morning, the Second Master ordered everyone to lock all the courtyards.” Yunxiang continued.

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “Where is Auntie Two?”

“Second Mistress is quite calm and relaxed.” Yunxiang whispered, “If I didn’t know that the second young mistress had a nocturnal wanderer’s disease, I’m afraid the slave girl would have thought that the second madam had abetted the second young mistress in this matter.”

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “She was abetted, but it wasn’t the second aunt, but someone else.”

“But the second young master was really hurt.” Yun Xiang said as she looked at her.

“It seems that there is also quite a conflict between these two.” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile.

“Almost a year after the marriage, there was no news from the second young grandma either, the second madam is dissatisfied since.” Yunxiang continued.

“It’s more than that.” Mu Zi Yan laughed lightly.

“Eldest Miss, why are you suddenly asking about the old mansion” Yun Xiang asked in a low voice.

“Take a trip to the old mansion.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.

“Now,” Rueyang’s eyes flashed with disbelief and surprise.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, going at this time was best good.

“Yes.” Rue Xiang nodded in response and went to get ready.

An hour later, Mu Zi Yan got off the carriage, raised his eyes and looked at the mansion in front of him, silent for a long time, before he walked up, the outside guards of the family since they know who came, and immediately went to report, not long after, Mu Zi Yan went into the mansion.

The old mansion is also a large courtyard with five entrances.

The compound, a five-entry mansion, when the feng shui of this place, the grandfather of the Great Ancestor built the mansion in this place, and then sealed the marquis, before moving to the Mu Houfu.

Mu Zi Yan think the old mansion must be hiding what waiting for her to explore the secret, just because she went in the moment, will feel very familiar, is the kind of even after a thousand years, the heart of the existence of a sense of familiarity.

Zhang’s not seen for a long time, now dressed still dignified and gorgeous, since leading Sister Lu to welcome forward, to line up in front of her, respectfully salute, “Subject wife see County Lord.”

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “Why is the second aunt like this, excuse yourself.”

“Thank you, County Lord.” Zhang’s was never thought that Mu Zi Yan would become the County Lord, when she got the news she froze for half an hour, and now when she looked at her again, she didn’t know why, but a trace of fear was born in her heart.

Sister Lu stood to the side with her eyes downcast, always feeling that Mu Zi Yan had been staring at her, so she did not dare to step forward.

Mu Zi Yan looked to the side of Zhang Yi Qing, a little more plump than when she had seen in the Zhang Marquis Mansion before, but that look was still indifferent.

“Second Auntie doesn’t mind me coming to intrude, right?” Mu Zi Yan said as she looked at Zhang.

“The county princess is joking.” Zhang’s said with a smile, compared to the arrogance in the Marquis Mu’s residence in the past, nowadays, she had since tightened up a lot.

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, “How is Second Sister-in-law’s body?”

“Back to the Sheriff, my wife’s body is still fine.” Zhang Yiqing answered with downcast eyes.

“How come you don’t see second brother,” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and asked in a low voice.

“Out on an errand.” Chapter said, looking at her.

“Oh, go in and talk about it.” Mu Zi Yan spoke with a light smile.

“Yes.” Zhang answered in a low voice, and then followed Mu Zi Yan’s lead towards the mansion.

Mu Zi Yan sitting in the hall, the ear seems to come bursts of laughter, she can feel the old mansion was how the scenery and lively, must be too grandfather did not expect the old mansion nowadays is left to this kind of jackals and tigers live with.

She raised her eyes to Zhang’s and said with a smile, “Second Auntie looks much better nowadays.”

“It’s been better since.” Chapter whispered back.

Mu Zi Yan then also no more words, this time to come, but also to see this old mansion, she sat a little bit, then got up, “this old mansion has been put, I have not come, now since I came, then stroll.”

“County princess please.” Zhang couldn’t guess Mu Ziyan’s mind, only feeling that she hadn’t seen her for more than two years, but she was no longer the uninitiated and manipulative young lady in her eyes, but the Cheng’an County Mistress that she had to grovel every time she saw her.

Zhang’s even fallen to this point, the pride in her bones has not changed, looking at Mu Ziyan even became a county princess, if she is the wife of the Marquis Mu, this county princess is her Ruoxi ah.

Thinking of Mu Zi Ruoxi, her heart inevitably some discomfort, she personally cultivated the daughter, but in the end it was a flop, and now it is unknown, and I do not know how Mu Zi Yan will be disposed of her.

If Mu Zi Yan didn’t come, Zhang might not have other thoughts, but Mu Zi Yan came, so the fire of jealousy that she extinguished was once again ignited.

The main mother of the Mu Marquis House, Qi, not only gave birth to a brother safely, but also gave birth to another sister, now her eldest daughter has become a county princess, her son is in the officialdom like a fish in water, and he will soon marry the eldest miss of the Su Marquis House, all these should have belonged to her, but now she can only stay at the head of this dead mansion, and meticulously talk about her life.

Since Sister Lu sensed Zhang’s emotions that she couldn’t hide, she gently tugged on her sleeve, only then did Zhang come back to her senses, raising her eyes just in time to see Mu Zi Yan looking at her with a smile, she was shocked, this girl’s eyes were really venomous.

Mu Zi Yan how can not see Zhang’s that inner raging out of jealousy, she really do not understand, a person can be obsessed to such a point, she did not kill Zhang’s hands, has been a net one side, this Zhang’s if you dare to move what crooked mind, she will never be merciful.

Zhang Yiqing followed behind as if nothing had happened, unconcerned about the situation in front of her, as if it had nothing to do with her.

Mu Zi Yan, however, put more thought into her body, able to do so, it seems that the Void’s conditioning of her. Teaching was really useful.

“County Lord, this is the courtyard of several aunts.” Zhang’s whispered.

“Oh.” Mu Zi Yan faintly answered, then glanced at it, her eyes flashed a flash of ghostly light, she was aware of the arrangement of the old mansion, this place was once the favorite place of her own grandfather, and now it was instead given to an aunt

She turned her eyes to look at Zhang’s, Zhang’s certainly know, but still let so this is not secretly hit the face of the big room

Zhang’s of course clear, the reason why understand, will be even more hate this mansion, when she left purely self-preservation, forced to do, but when into the head of this mansion, she is more and more hate.

“This courtyard I remember is grandmother’s favorite, back then grandfather even made a painting in this courtyard.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.

“If the Sheriff’s Mistress says so, my wife remembers.” Zhang’s responded obliviously.

Mu Zi Yan sighed, “It’s a pity.”

“What makes you say that, Sheriff” Zhang asked, but she was puzzled.

“The Mu family’s old mansion, yet a foreigner lives there, it’s really sad.” Mu Zi Yan shook her head and said.

Zhang’s most hate will be here, she was deceived by the old lady married Mu Qinglin, originally thought that one day can become a real Marquis of Mu’s mother, but in the end it is an empty, lost the wife and soldiers, this Mu Qinglin is not even the Mu family’s children and grandchildren.

Zhang’s face became embarrassed right away, raising her eyes to look at her and whispering, “If the county princess feels that it’s a pity to give this courtyard to an aunt to live in, then my wife will leave this courtyard empty.”

“It’s still Second Auntie who is sweet.” Mu Zi Yan responded with a smile.

Zhang’s hand hidden in her sleeve clenched tightly, by what right was she the

Why is she the princess? Why? If she wasn’t, she wouldn’t be allowed to be so arrogant.

But the chapter has forgotten, at first she was so afraid of Mu Zi Yan, only to flee, if not Mu Zi Yan let her go, she has long been buried in the ground.

The corner of Mu Zi Yan’s mouth hooked up into a cold smile before saying, “I wonder what Second Brother is busy with nowadays”

“It’s just asking for an errand.” Zhang suppressed the anger in her heart and said in a low voice.

When Zhang Yiqing saw Mu Zi Yan frequently mention Mu Ling Rui, her eyes flashed with a touch of doubt, and then she lowered her eyes.

Mu Zi Yan in the old mansion turned around, was about to leave, coincidentally Mu Qing Lin and Mu Ling Rui father and son back, early in the morning got the news that the Cheng An County Lord came, these two people have not yet reacted to, and so into the house, it is only then suddenly realized, the former Miss Mu has now become the Cheng An County Lord.

Mu Qing Lin for Mu Zi Yan is the heart of hatred, if she was obedient, now this Mu Hou House has long been his.

If Mu Zi Yan had known that Mu Qing Lin still had such a mindset, she would have tsked and said, “See, this is the unchanging nature of death.”

When Mu Lingrui saw Mu Ziyan, he bowed respectfully, “Your humble servant has met County Lord.”

“Second brother, please rise.” Mu Zi Yan did not expect Mu Ling Rui to become like this, in the past, but from Yun Xiang’s place to hear about Mu Ling Rui’s situation, did not expect him to change so quickly!

She raised her eyes and carefully sized him up before settling her gaze on Mu Qinglin, who waited until Mu Qinglin arched his hand and saluted, “Herborist has met the county princess.”

“Second uncle looks good.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Mu Qing Lin light smile, thinking of the Zhang left the old mansion, thought the second uncle is once decadent, so they secretly in his meals under the drug, want to let him fall apart, and finally hollowed out the body tortured to death, did not expect the second uncle is actually pretending, which makes the Zhang to Mu Qing Lin is more hate on a few points.

This couple, although living under the same roof, are counting on each other, and it is not just how sad it is.

“I’m grateful to county princess for her concern.” Mu Qinglin resumed his previous gentle and elegant demeanor, but it was a pity that, with a broken arm, it really looked a bit strange now.

“I came over just to see second uncle and second aunt.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and said, “Now that it’s getting late, I’ll return to the house.”

“Respectfully send off county princess.” Zhang’s saw that Mu Zi Yan was leaving and was eager to do so.

After Mu Zi Yan left, the smile on Zhang’s lips instantly converged and she turned around and went back to her own courtyard.

Mu Qinglin snorted coldly and went to his aunt’s place since.

Mu Lingrui turned his eyes to look at Zhang Yiqing, “Go back.”

“En.” Zhang Yiqing nodded, following her quietly since.

Mu Ling Rui returned to the courtyard, then sat down, Zhang Yiqing personally came forward to take off the outer robe he was wearing, the maid brought over water, and after Mu Ling Rui purified his hands, she handed over the square towel.

Mu Ling Rui slowly sat down, he because of the matter of the county princess Ming An, in the capital since the difficulties, it is not easy to get an errand, but also a small military department of the book order history.

Zhang Yiqing personally handed over the tea and raised her eyes to look at him, “Do you want to eat, husband”

“After eating wine just now, I am a bit tired, so I don’t need to.” Since Mu Ling Rui abstained from five stone powder, his body was severely damaged, his martial arts skills were lost, and now he was just a scholar with no hands.

Zhang Yiqing was different, she deliberately hid her martial arts, but looking at the white cloth on Mu Lingrui’s arm, she lowered her eyes and said, “Husband, last night my concubine was unintentional.”

“I know.” Mu Ling Rui experienced great ups and downs, this nature then also became silent, compared to watching the fight between his father and mother, he now only wants to live a peaceful life.

Zhang Yiqing didn’t know what to say when she saw that he was so understanding

These two people in one place, belong to two stuffy gourds, between the words are very little, to be Mu Ling Rui got up and went to the study, Zhang Yiqing seems to be like a relief, and then they sat on the soft couch.

Mu Zi Yan sat inside the carriage, the corner of her mouth hooked up in an evil smile.

“Eldest Miss, how come the Second Mistress is still restless,” Bi Yun muttered.

“Peaceful,” Mu Zi Yan laughed coldly, “If she were peaceful, she wouldn’t have caused so much trouble.”

“Eldest Miss, the slave girl sees that the second young master has really changed a lot.” Yunxiang, however, said what Mu Zi Yan was interested in.

“It is true that he has changed a lot.” Mu Zi Yan couldn’t say, she just felt that there was less of the old harshness in him, instead it was like he had changed his body.

“Eldest Miss, the slave girl looks at that Second Young Grandmother as being very strange.” Yunxiang, however, did not forget to observe and then said, “The more so, the more so, the more so, the more so, the more so, the more so, the more so, the more so that the slave girl feels that she is unfathomable.”

“Indeed unfathomable.” Mu Zi Yan hooked her lips in a cold smile.

“Eldest Miss, this old mansion is afraid that” Yun Xiang felt that the place looked calm on the surface, but sooner or later it would stir up a big storm.

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly, “Wait and see.”

“Eldest Miss, the State Duke’s Mansion is still safe and sound.” Yunxiang also did not know what kind of scheme the eldest miss had, but just asked her to keep an eye on the State Duke’s Mansion.

Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, the calmer the better, she wanted to see how long the person behind that could hide.

The carriage just traveled halfway and stopped, Yun Xiang then lifted the curtain, and saw a carriage parked on the opposite side as well, Yun Xiang recognized it and immediately lowered the curtain, “Eldest Miss, it’s Young Grandma Cui.”

“Oh,” Mu Zi Yan hooked a cold smile at the corner of her mouth, and then said, “Is this considered a narrow road between enemies?”

“Missy, to see or not to see,” Rue Xiang asked in a low voice.

“That depends on whether she knows the rules or not.” Mu Zi Yan faintly raised her eyebrows, so she sat with a calm demeanor.

Not long after, footsteps could be heard coming from outside, followed by Lan Xin’er’s voice, “Your servant woman sees the county lord.”

Yunxiang then lifted the curtain, and when she saw Lan Xin’er standing beside the carriage, she lowered her eyes.

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly and said, ”So it’s Young Grandma Cui, this is going to

Where is it going, Nanny?”

“My wife has just come out of the Blue Marquis Mansion.” Lan Xin’er whispered back.

“I see.” Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly, “Young Granny Cui will just go by herself.”

“My wife excuses herself.” Lan Xin’er answered with her eyes downcast, not seeing any semblance of arrogance.

Yunxiang will car curtain down, Mu Zi Yan mouth corner hooked up faint cold smile, did not miss the appropriate car curtain fell moment, blue Xiner a moment to reveal the killing intent.

Waiting until Mu Zi Yan’s carriage left first, Lan Xin Er then got into the carriage, sitting inside the carriage, her eyes overflowing with a ghostly cold light.

“Master, County Lord Cheng An has just returned from the Mu family’s old mansion.” The voices of his men drifted outside.

“How is the State Duke’s Palace,” Lan Xin’er asked in a cold voice.

“All is calm.” The henchman returned.

“Keep an eye on it, and report any movement instantly.” Lan Xin’er said in a deep voice.

“Yes.”

“Mu Zi Yan, if you dare to spoil my good deed, I will definitely let you die without a burial place.” Lan Xin’er’s eyes shattered with bloodthirsty killing intent as she muttered to herself.

In the blink of an eye, after three days, the State Duke’s Mansion has returned to its usual calm, but everyone knows in their hearts that this is just the eve of a storm.

Qi sat at the head of the courtyard, watched Mu Ling Jue chasing the girl running around, playing happily, she just watched quietly like this, her heart was comforted a lot.

Mu Zi Yan entered the courtyard, Mu Ling Jue saw it from afar and rushed eagerly towards her with his little legs, immediately stretching his arms out and looking up at her.

“Jue’er has grown taller again.” Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly as she picked him up and whispered.

“Big sister.” Mu Ling Jue called out in a milky voice, “Where’s sister?”

“Nowadays, you still remember sister.” Mu Zi Yan raised her hand and nudged his nose, smiling, “Sister will be able to return in some time.”

“En En.” Mu Ling Jue hurriedly nodded his head, clearly fond of confabulations.

Qi smiled as she looked at the sibling duo, pulling a kerchief from her sleeve, she carried Mu Ling Jue from Mu Zi Yan’s arms, carefully wiping the thin sweat from his forehead.

Mu Zi Yan then sat down, “Mother, the old mansion that place daughter had been there once a few days ago, do you still remember what happened in the old mansion”

“When your grandfather was around, he would go to the old mansion for a few days every year, especially during the spring year, and since your grandfather went, he rarely went back.” Qi looked at her and said, “But you have not been there.”

“My daughter also went there for the first time, yet she felt extremely intimate.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, “Unfortunately, now it’s flat out spoiled for second uncle.”

“Sooner or later, you’ll be back.” Qi said with a smile.

“Mother, what my daughter wants to ask is, grandfather can leave any words back then” Mu Zi Yan feels that there must be something strange in this old house, grandfather left too suddenly back then, but she feels that grandfather must have been prepared.

“It’s all about the old madam accompanying them, I don’t know since.” Qi looked at her and said, “But there was mention that there is an attic at the back of the old mansion, and it is even set up as a family rule not to go in at will.”

“Attic,” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, how can it be an attic again?

Qi saw her fall into deep thought and said with a light smile, “But your brother snuck in once once, letting your grandfather know and giving him a good reprimand, scaring your brother so much that he never dared to go there again in the future.”

“Brother was so naughty when he was a child” Mu Zi Yan is unable to imagine that his brother is still so naughty.

“Brother, as a child which is not skinny” Qi pinched Mu Zi Yan’s cheeks, “your nature, as a child, also made me worry a lot, compared to your brother, that is also not at all worrying, I remember the first time you tugged on the Fifth Prince to say that you want him to marry you, coated him with snot, crying and and cried and just wouldn’t let go.”

“Mother,” Mu Zi Yan beamed, how could it be brought to her for no reason?

“Right, I remember you also secretly stepped on the stool to peek at the Fifth Prince’s bath.” Only then did Qi remember, and when she looked at Mu Zi Yan, she added a few more meaningful smiles, and then sighed, “It’s a pity that the Fifth Prince is a short-lived one, or else, depending on his later return to the capital to your heart, I would have agreed to this marriage.”

“Mother” Mu Zi Yan’s face now became extremely ugly, peeping Jun Qian Yu bathing this is where with which she how can not have any impression of her that time in the end have done what!
