Fu Jiujiu looked at Mu Ting and said, "You have merit in this matter. Go back first. I will reward you."

"Thank you madam."

After Mu Ting stepped back, Tang Luan was still choking.

Fu Jiujiu comforted her distressedly.

"I've already asked someone to check, and he didn't lie." Tang Xian said.

"Give him some courage, and he won't dare to lie in front of us. But if the white peacock knew that he was going to die, why would he go near Mu's house? What's there?"

Fu Jiujiu recalled it carefully, because she had always thought that the White Peacock was related to Xuan You. Could it be that she was wrong?

It's really just an ordinary peacock.

But the white peacock has never interacted with outsiders, so why did it suddenly appear there?
Tang Luan's little voice interrupted Fu Jiujiu's guess.

"Queen Mother, can it really not come back to life?"

Fu Jiujiu never thought of teaching her daughter about life and death so early, but now that it happened, it was a lesson she had to learn in her life.

"Luan'er, it's really gone, but as long as you remember it in your heart, it plays with you, protects you, and is cute, funny, and naive, it will always be by your side."

Fu Jiujiu also blushed. After all, he was a little guy who had been by his side for so long.

Tang Luan nodded, but when he saw the body of the white peacock, he cried several times.

Fu Jiujiu finally coaxed her to sleep. After hearing the news, several brothers also came over, each holding a peacock in their hands, intending to let his sister choose.

Fu Jiujiu knew that they had good intentions, but this method would only make Luan'er more sad.

She is a child who values ​​friendship, and nothing can be replaced.

After the three sons were sent away, Fu Jiujiu sat down and sorted out the matter carefully.

Even if everything else is understandable, the appearance of the white peacock in the Mu family is incomprehensible.

She looked at the location of various mansions in the capital. The Mu family was not considered a powerful official, and they were not relatives of the emperor. The location of the Mu mansion was still some distance away from the imperial palace.

She rarely went to that position, let alone with the white peacock.

If she left the palace, she felt that the only place White Peacock could go to was their Fu family.

After all, it has followed me many times.

Tang Xian saw her deep thought, "Don't look at it. You have been holding Luan'er for a long time, so you should rest for a while."

Fu Jiujiu shook his head, "Who is there in the Mu family?"

"Why do you think of asking this?" Tang Xian asked.

Fu Jiujiu smiled bitterly, "If I don't have a clue, I just ask around. After all, this young master of the Mu family has made a great contribution this time."

"If it weren't for him, I don't know where the white peacock's body would be. There may not be a complete body." Fu Jiujiu said casually, "I always feel that the white peacock shouldn't be there, but now that it's gone, it's There must be some reason."

Tang Xian nodded. He never doubted Fu Jiujiu's intuition.

"This Mu Ting is Mu Yuancang's eldest son. There are two younger ones in the family, no, three."

Fu Jiujiu looked at him, and with one look, Tang Xian knew what she wanted to ask.

"The little one is mentally retarded and is a commoner. Mu Yuancang loves face so much that he only tells the public that he has three sons and never mentions the little one." "Mu Yuancang has some talents, but it's a pity that this person's mind is not right. , The official position is small and can be used when suppressed, but if the power is great, selfishness will arise."

"Yes, this is the reason why I have never dared to entrust him with important responsibilities. However, his sons are indeed outstanding. This Mu Ting is a handsome man with both civil and military talents. I heard that he is determined to win the first prize in both civil and military affairs by himself. He is very ambitious. , Luan'er's idea was taken."

Fu Jiujiu curled her lips, "It's not a bad thing to be ambitious. He's not the only one who has Luan'er's idea. As long as you don't use dirty tricks, you don't have to do anything. After all, there were many young ladies who admired you back then."

"There are not many young masters who admire you?" Tang Xian asked back.

"How old do you think the despised fourth son of the Mu family is?" Fu Jiujiu asked.

"You suspect..."

"It's just a random guess. I heard in Huan Cang Kingdom that Xuan You died and his soul disappeared. I always thought that the white peacock was him. But now that the white peacock is dead, I'm thinking, the white peacock The inexplicable closeness to Luan'er, the white peacock, if not Xuan You, is also related to Xuan You, and the place where it appeared before it died was the Mu family."

"Do you think that mentally retarded child from the Mu family is Xuan You?" Tang Xian understood what Fu Jiujiu meant.

"I plan to go see that kid later, if I don't give up." Fu Jiujiu sighed.

"Although Luan'er can't remember anything about Huan Cang Country, and her soul has not awakened, I always feel that she came back to me this time, on the one hand, to help our mother and daughter reunite, and on the other hand, maybe just to find Xuanyou.”

Fu Jiujiu stroked her daughter's sweaty hair from crying, "She always pays for me, and I want to help her too."

"What's so difficult about this? We can just take Luan'er to Mu's house in person later. If it's Xuan You, then Luan'er might be able to sense it if he meets him."

That's what Fu Jiujiu meant, but it's possible that her guess was just a guess after all.

Mu family.

Mu Yuancang was very happy. This time his eldest son did help him gain face, even if it was because of a peacock, but what did it matter? Looking at the rewards sent from the palace, he was full of praise for his son.

He even asked his two younger sons to learn more from their elder brothers.

"Ting'er, thank you for your sharp eyesight, and you recognized that it was the princess's plaything, otherwise you would have missed this good opportunity."

"Good opportunity?"

"Yes, you are one of the few outstanding young people. In the future, both civil and military champions will be in your arms. The princess will be old by then. If you can be appreciated by the princess."

Mu Yuancang raised his eyebrows, "Our Mu family has become prosperous."

"She is still a child, and...even though she is the daughter of the Queen, but...I don't think she is very smart."

"What does it matter? As long as her life is good, it is enough. The fact that she was born into the royal family is her greatest wisdom."

"By the way, the Emperor left me alone after going to court today and said that the Queen will personally bring the little princess to our house."

Mu Ting curled his lips.

"Remember, the Queen is not to be underestimated. If you say something, don't hide it. If she knows that you are scheming, it will be bad."

"I know, but do you need to prepare something at home?"

"That's natural. By the way, you will also take your second and third brothers with you when the time comes. They won't be able to steal your limelight."

Mu Ting felt that he couldn't show his intelligence without comparison, so it didn't matter, "Then fourth brother..."

Mu Yuancang frowned tightly, "Why are you mentioning him? Aren't you afraid that he will bump into the noble? I will have him locked up by then." (End of Chapter)
