Chapter 210 – The Old Lady’s Plot of Brothers Against Brothers (2 / 2)
by Jessie@AFNCC“Yes.” Rue Xiang answered with her head hanging down.
Mu Zi Yan will open that package, there is a letter on the top, after she read it, sighing, people only wait for the moment of death to come to their senses, but also only at that moment, she understands what is the most precious.
She put away the letterhead and looked down at the land deed, the deed to the house, and some of Sister Lu’s secret correspondence placed inside, and her eyes moved, as if
With a movement, he seemed to understand something.
After she carefully opened it and read it, her eyes flashed with a ghostly light and she said in a cold voice, “Go back and take a look.”
“Yes.” Yunxiang answered, and then the carriage turned around again.
When she arrived, Mu Zi Yan looked at the mansion already full of corpses, Mu Ling Rui collapsed within a pool of blood, she rushed forward to help Mu Ling Rui up, the shopkeeper took the acupoints on his chest, and hurriedly fed him a pill, lifting her eyes to look at Yun Xiang, “Who else is alive”
“All dead.” Yun Xiang looked at Mu Zi Yan and whispered back.
“Indeed.” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes flashed with a ghostly light, then said, “Take second brother back to the Mu Hou Mansion.”
“Yes.” Yunxiang answered, and then she had the carriage driver come and carry Mu Lingrui onto the carriage.
“Fortunately, there is still a breath.” Mu Zi Yan continued, “Have the people clean up the mansion, and bury the bodies of Second Uncle and Second Aunt along with them.”
“Yes.” Rue Xiang answered and went to pass on the message.
When we arrived at Marquis Mu’s residence, Mu Zi Yan ordered Lu Zhong to carry Mu Ling Rui to the courtyard where he originally lived, and Qi got the news and rushed over.
“What’s going on here,” Qi entered the inner room and watched as Bi Yun was busy with hot water, the house filled with the smell of blood, while Yun Xiang was playing a hand on the side.
Only after a long time did Mu Zi Yan let out a sigh of relief, raising her eyes to look at Qi who was looking at her, she whispered, “Mother, the mansion has been killed and exterminated.”
“Killing and exterminating” Qi’s eyes sank low, “Who is it”
“If my daughter’s guess is good, it should be Princess Qing Li.” Mu Zi Yan continued, “Sister Lu is Princess Qing Li’s people, now that the second uncle and the second aunt are dead, Princess Qing Li should have learned that Sister Lu is also dead, in order not to cause trouble, can only cut off the roots.”
“This Princess Qing Li’s skills are not small, even bullying her way into my Marquis Mu’s residence.” Qi snorted coldly.
Mu Zi Yan was visibly stunned, “Mother, daughter has her own plans in this matter.”
“En.” Qi nodded her head and responded, then looked at Mu Lingrui lying on the bed, “This child ai.”
“Mother, Second Brother,” Mu Zi Yan asked in a low voice.
“Then live here first.” Qi said, turning to look at Sister Cui, “It’s not good for this courtyard to be empty, so pick a few people to serve.”
“Yes.” Sister Cui answered with her head hanging down and left with Qi.
Yunxiang stood aside, “Eldest Miss, the Lady’s heart is so kind.”
“The Mu family’s people are not allowed to be bullied by bystanders.” Mu Zi Yan said indifferently, “She would rather do it herself, but she can never allow bystanders to bully her head.”
Yunxiang whispered, “Eldest Miss, you should also go change into clean clothes.”
“You serve here first.” Mu Zi Yan whispered.
“Yes.” Rue Xiang answered and turned to go about her business.
Mu Zi Yan took the handkerchief handed over by Bi Yun, and after she had wiped it off, she went back to Smokefall Courtyard.
When Sister Spirit saw her return, she rushed forward, “Eldest Miss.”
“Sister Ling, I’ll write down the prescription, you follow the decoction and then send it to Second Brother’s place.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Sister Spirit and said.
“Yes.” Sister Spirit answered with her head hanging down, and then she retreated.
Qi’s back to the Jiyue courtyard, face still gloomy, Cui Ma’am has already picked a few people over, then entered, “Madam, you will be the second young master to stay in the house, the third young miss if she learns about it, this heart is afraid of”
“What’s there,” Qi snorted coldly, “In fact, second uncle is the son of the Mu family.”
“What,” Sister Cui looked at her in obvious surprise and confusion.
“Ai, this matter is a long story, and it’s only because the old madam hid it too well.” Qi sighed and said, “But this matter must not let Smokey know, after all, it is a muddle committed by the elders.”
“Old slave doesn’t understand.” Sister Cui returned with her eyes downcast in disbelief.
“I can’t tell you what happened back then, the second uncle is the marquis’s own brother, and was indeed born to a maid.” Qi went on to say, “When the old marquis married the old lady, once by the old lady counting, this thought to be able to give birth to a son with the old marquis, did not expect to be wrong, the old marquis is favored a girl, the old marquis is not aware of, thought it was touching the old lady, and the old lady will be the girl secretly hid, and then pretended to have a good time, and so that the girl is in labor, she will be the result of the girl, and second uncle will also become a girl. After that, she then fructified that girl, and the second uncle then became her child.”
“Ma’am, how did you learn of this matter” Qi asked in disbelief.
“I also learned of this some time ago, do you remember Sister Lin” Mu Zi Yan looked at her and asked.
“Remember.” Sister Cui whispered, “Nai said that the Third Mistress was with her.”
“Yes.” Qi continued, “Actually, that girl is Sister Lin’s daughter.”
“What,” Sister Cui was getting more and more confused now, “I don’t think the Old Lady knows.”
“This then brings up another matter, some time ago, someone sent me an item, and I realized this matter.” Qi looked at her and said, “That person was Sister Lin’s niece, who happened to go to the Zhang family with Marquis Lady Cui, and when she saw me she told me about it.”
Qi’s words caused Sister Cui to be quite shocked, “That girl is aware of this matter.”
“She didn’t know, but she gave it to me regarding something Sister Lin had entrusted her with before she died, so I searched for that and found the letterhead that Sister Lin had left behind, and that’s how she found out.” Qi whispered.
“Your Ladyship, forgive the old slave for speaking out of turn, you should have told the eldest young miss about this matter.” Sister Cui whispered, “After all, the second young master is now”
“I’ll think about it.” Qi looked at her and said, “The hateful thing is that the old madam didn’t want the Mu family to live in peace until she died.”
“No wonder Madam agreed to let the Second Young Master stay just now.” Sister Cui had been enlightened.
Qi waved her hand and said, “You and go and see.”
“Yes.” Sister Cui answered and retreated.
Mu Zi Yan changed into clean clothes and went to Qi’s place since
There, since she gave her what the second aunt had left behind, “Mother, you keep this.”
“It’s also going to be given to Ruiguo’er in the future.” Qi looks at the things in front of her, as well as a letter written by Zhang, and raises her eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, “Yan’er ah, take a look at this.”
Qi thought twice, but still told Mu Zi Yan about this matter.
Mu Zi Yan raised her hand to receive it, and after reading the letter, her eyes flashed with surprise, “That means that second uncle is the son of the Mu family, and second brother is also a descendant of the Mu family”
“En.” Qi nodded in response.
“Since your second uncle and second aunt are both dead, Rui Ge’er has no relatives” Qi whispered, “Smokey, what are you thinking?”
“The old madam has been playing a game of chess since a long time ago, using the second uncle and father to fight against each other as brothers, she has been calculating this since a long time ago.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and looked at Qi, “It’s just that grandfather should not know it”
“This matter was unknown to your grandfather.” Qi went on to say, “Mo is not something that Sister Lin left behind with evidence.”
“Daughter understands.” Mu Zi Yan slightly blessed her body, then went out of the Jiyue courtyard.
She can forgive Mu Lingrui, but she will never let go of Mu Zixi. In her last life, the humiliation she brought upon herself, she is bound to get it back in this life.
Mu Zi Yan reentered the Smoke Drop Courtyard, Yun Fei stood in front of her, “Unhappy”
“Leave me alone.” Mu Zi Yan whispered.
“En.” Seeing her say so, Yun Fei didn’t bother and sidestepped out of the way, so he went to Sister Spirit’s place.
Sister Spirit saw him frowning and whispered, “What’s wrong.”
“Not happy.” Cloudflare said as he sat down.
“Eldest Miss may have encountered a difficult situation, so you should not disturb her.” Sister Spirit whispered.
“En.” Cloudflare then sat by himself, paying no attention to anyone.
Seeing him like this, Sister Ling couldn’t help but smile, and after decocting the medicine, she personally brought it over.
Mu Zi Yan sat in the room and thought for a long time, finally could only suppress the anger in her heart, inhaled deeply, raised her eyes and looked at the jade flute placed on the side, suddenly remembered last night Chu Ye’s behavior, she casually threw that jade flute aside, got up and went out of the inner room.
Yun Xiang rushed over at this time, “Eldest Miss, a note came from Zhi Xiang’s place.”
“En.” Mu Zi Yan faintly answered, and when she opened it, her eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, “Putting in a long line to catch a big fish.”
“Yes.” Yun Xiang hung her head and answered, “Eldest Miss, Princess Qing Li’s place”
“Don’t worry, I’m not the only one keeping an eye on her.” Mu Zi Yan said in a cold voice, “What is Zhong Xuan doing”
“She is not making any movements.” Yun Xiang then handed over the secret letter, “This is the news from the Northern Green Country.”
“Good.” Mu Zi Yan raised her hand to receive it, and after reading it, her eyes flashed with cold light, “It seems that the Northern Qing Country is not at peace either.”
“Eldest Miss, where is the second young master” Yun Xiang then asked.
“It doesn’t matter, Sister Cui’s place has already picked someone to go over and take good care of it.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Yun Xiang, “Where is second sister?”
“Second Miss has already sent it to Full Painting House.” Yunxiang whispered back.
“Good.” Mu Zi Yan spoke faintly, “Let her stay well.”
“Yes.” Rue Xiang answered.
Mu Zi Yan waited for Yun Xiang to leave, she was silent for a long time, something happened in the Northern Qing Dynasty, Chu Ye went back at this time and for what purpose?
The more and more she felt that Chu Ye was too mysterious, the more so, the more she dared not approach.
Su Qinrou rushed over at this time and looked at Mu Zi Yan, “Sister, I heard that the second uncle’s place”
“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, “Sister-in-law doesn’t need to worry, now that things have been resolved.”
“What about Second Brother” Su Qinrou then asked, “Is he going to live in the mansion?”
“En.” Mu Zi Yan answered in a low voice.
“In that case, I’ll go over and take a look at him.” Su Qinruo was silent for a moment and said softly.
“Good.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and answered.
Su Qinruo held her hand, “Don’t carry things on your own, don’t forget there’s still me.”
“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded gently.
Su Qinrou then left with a smile, and when she was out of the Smokefall Courtyard, she went to take a look at Mu Lingrui.
As Mu Lingxuan returned to his residence, Su Qinrou came forward to take his outer robe, and then handed him a tea, “Husband, have you heard about the second brother’s matter?”
“I heard about it, Second Uncle and Second Aunt are gone, so it’s a good idea for him to come back.” Mu Lingxuan said indifferently.
“I went to see it just now, the injury was very serious, and now he is still unconscious.” Su Qinrou spoke in a low voice.
“It seems like you won’t be able to wake up without two days.” Mu Lingxuan was silent for a moment, “I’ll make a trip to my sister’s place.”
“Good.” Su Qinrou smiled and answered, “Then dinner.”
“Go together.” Mu Lingxuan looked at Su Qinrui and said in a warm voice.
“En.” Su Qinrou obediently responded, Mu Lingxuan held her hand, and the two of them went to Mu Zi Yan’s place together.
Mu Zi Yan at the moment is thinking about about the second uncle to tell Mu Ling Xuan, see him come, then also light smile, and then brother and sister since they sat in a place to talk about this matter.
Mu Zi Yan also very frankly told him the truth, Su Qin Rou listened on the sidelines, also could not help but sigh, “The old madam is really ruthless.”
Mu Lingxuan laughed coldly, “Which of the things she has done is not ruthless”
“That’s true.” Su Qinrou nodded in agreement.
Mu Zi Yan looked at the duo in front of her, husband and wife, and couldn’t help but laugh, “It’s really enviable.”
“Sister, now the first cousin has of the marriage is also set, selected a few days, spring before the marriage, you,” Su Qinruo asked with a smile.
“I,” Mu Zi Yan mused for a moment, “am in no hurry.”
“You’re not in a hurry, but someone else is.” Su Qinrou sighed quietly.
“My marriage nowadays is not up to me, maybe one day the emperor’s whim will give a decree to grant a marriage.” Mu Zi Yan was speaking the truth, but this language
, but the tone was flirtatious.
Mu Lingxuan shook his head helplessly, “This matter is something you should tell Second Brother”
“Always have to say, said, whether to go or stay then let him.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.
“That is also.” Mu Lingxuan likes the atmosphere in the mansion nowadays, there are no hooks and corners, there is no deceitfulness, relatives are relatives, where can they be counted on?
Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “Brother, when will I be able to hold my nephew”
“I try.” Mu Lingxuan answered very frankly.
“Sister,” Su Qin Rou looked at her shyly, her eyes overflowing with begging, sighing darkly, every time she wanted to poke fun at her, she was in turn poke fun at her completely.
“Yes, let’s go see sister Yi Yi in a few days.” Mu Zi Yan continued, suddenly realizing something, “Nowadays, I should be called Second Young Grandmother.”
“That’s true.” Su Qinruo nodded her head and responded, “Sister, there is one thing I forgot to tell you.”
“What is it,” Mu Zi Yan asked, looking at her.
“News came from the palace that the Emperor already has a favorite candidate for the Crown Princess.” Su Qinrou looked at her and said, “In a few days it will be the Empress Dowager’s birthday, so I think we must be waiting for that day to announce it.”
“It should not be me.” Mu Zi Yan knew that according to her reputation nowadays, the Emperor would not give her marriage to the Crown Prince, or the Third Prince, any of them.
“Who would that be,” Su Qinrou thought carefully for a moment, “There are very few marriageable women of the world nowadays.”
“I’ll think about it.” Mu Zi Yan was silent for a moment, then said, “Cui Houfu.”
“Ah,” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at her and asked in confusion, “I think it’s the Marquis of Pingli.”
“Miss Ping has entered the capital,” Mu Zi Yan knew that every year when it was time for the Empress Dowager’s birthday banquet, Prince Ping and Miss Ping would enter the capital.
“I reckon it’s close.” Su Qinruo, however, felt that Ping Yan’er was extremely likely.
Mu Zi Yan but feel that the emperor is unlikely to be rich in the world of Pingli Marquis House for nothing to the Prince, it should not be possible, if it is not a woman of the family, it should be the ministers of the court, or which Prince
Mu Zi Yan suddenly thought of someone, and it dawned on her, and she whispered, “His Majesty is indeed resourceful.”
“Sister.” When Mu Lingxuan saw Mu Ziyan say so, he whispered, “Nonsense again.”
“I know who it is.” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile.
“Who,” Mu Lingxuan asked curiously.
“This person is absolutely unexpected to you all.” Mu Zi Yan said in a mysterious manner.
“Definitely can’t think of it” Mu Lingxuan was silent for a long time, still hadn’t thought of who it was
Su Qinrou looked at her and said, “Sister, don’t sell yourself short.”
“We’ll know when the time comes.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Su Qin Rou mysteriously.
Su Qinrou turned her eyes to look at Mu Lingxuan, “Husband, look at her”
Mu Zi Yan whispered, “Brother, you can’t be biased.”
“Cough.” Mu Lingxuan lowered his eyes and coughed dryly twice, “That’s something I actually want to know.”
“Ai, it’s true that when you have a sister-in-law, you,” Mu Zi Yan lamented.
“I won’t ask.” Seeing Mu Zi Yan begin to gush, Su Qin Rou hurriedly got up and blessed herself to beg for forgiveness.
Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows, “It’s still sister-in-law who is reasonable.”
Su Qinrou secretly pinched a cold sweat, crying and looking at her, “Sister, if you don’t say it then forget it, but the Empress Dowager’s birthday banquet, for the Crown Prince is a big deal, for you is also ah.”
Mu Zi Yan faintly raised his eyebrows, knowing the concern in Su Qin Rou’s words, once it comes to the palace banquet, it is the time for the Emperor to point out the marriage, she is already fourteen, and I am afraid that there are a lot of people who are staring at it.
When Mu Lingxuan saw that she didn’t care much, he knew that she had her own idea, and turned his eyes to look at Su Qinru, and the two of them were sort of unspoken.
When the two of them went back, Yunxiang hurriedly entered and said in a low voice, “Eldest Miss, something happened to Zhixiang.”
“En” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes slightly converged, “What is it”
“She took Fourth Miss to play and accidentally fell inside the pond.” Yunxiang whispered.
The corner of Mu Zi Yan’s mouth slightly hooked, this is considered to be the beginning she hurriedly got up, “Go and take a look.”
“Yes.” Yunxiang answered and followed Mu Zi Yan forward together.
When they arrived in the garden, they saw that Qi had already rushed over, and the people had already been fished out, with Mu Ziwu falling into a coma and Zhixiang drowning.
Mu Zi Yan rushed forward and looked at Qi with worry, “Mother, is sister alright”
“You came just in time, hurry and give it a look.” Qi’s hugged Mu Zi Wu tightly and said in a low voice.
“Good.” Mu Zi Yan said, then reached out and probed.
