Chapter 55
Mu Qingxi couldn't help feeling pity in her heart, and called softly: "Lang'er."

The small body seemed to move, and Mu Qingxi continued to call: "Lang'er, it's me."

She walked slowly to the side of the bed, and saw a small face covered with tears, and the softest part of her heart was severely touched. He must have seen everything at that time, right?

She sat on the side of the bed and embraced Lang'er in her arms: "Lang'er, don't be afraid."

Lang'er suddenly burst into tears: "Mother is dead...Mother's face is covered with blood"

The palms hidden under the sleeves of the robe were tightly clenched into fists, and her heart throbbed fiercely. She coaxed softly in a low voice: "Langer, it's all over. From now on, you will live with grandma here, and grandma will protect you." You, I won't let you get hurt again."

Lang'er suddenly raised his head, only seeing his big eyes in the dim light, so bright that it frightened people.

"I know who killed my mother."

Mu Qingxi was stunned: "How do you know?"

Lang'er pursed her lips: "At that time, I was coming back from class. As soon as I walked to the grove outside the gate of the courtyard, I saw an aunt sneaking out of the courtyard. Because she accidentally slipped and stepped on the dirt next to her. The shoes were dirty, another sister came and called her master, the two of them even changed the shoes, and then left."

Changing shoes, Mu Qingxi paused in her heart, and continued to ask: "Can you see her appearance clearly?"

Lang'er shook his head: "I didn't think much about it at the time, I thought they were here to chat with my mother. But if I see her again, I can recognize her because she has a big belly."

Mu Qingxi closed her eyes, aunt with a big belly, who else could there be?Even though I have already guessed who did it, when the facts are in front of my eyes, I still feel extremely uncomfortable.

Mu Qingsi, Mu Qingsi, for your own selfishness, you disregard the lives of others.Is the birthright of a concubine really so important to you?
Taking a few deep breaths, Mu Qingxi forced a smile and said, "My good boy, your task now is to eat well and grow up quickly so that others won't bully you and never hurt you again, understand? "

Lang'er wanted to cry, but nodded in a very sensible way.Mu Qingxi sighed softly in his heart, a child who was only five years old, his father was not like his father, and his mother died early. Although he was protected by his grandmother, he didn't know that such a life could continue for a few more years.

Lead Lang'er out and hand it to Mei Zi: "Take good care of the young master, and tell me if you have anything to do."

Mei Zi blessed her body: "Don't worry, Shi Zifei, the slaves will take good care of the young master."

He then coaxed Lang'er in a low voice. Although he felt pity for him, he also knew that this was a fact he had to face, and he was a boy. Since he grew up in such an environment, he had to learn many things. To face it, no one can help him.

When Mu Qingsi was carried all the way back to Xinruoyuan by Chunyu Fengzhan, she was still thinking in her heart that this matter was taken care of by Jinrou, at least that girl still had some morals, knowing that if she dared to speak back, her mother would all Can't survive!

Just as he was thinking, he saw Chunyu Fengzhan put her on the embroidered bed, turned around to leave, panicked in his heart, and grabbed his sleeve.

"My lord...where are you going?"

Chunyu Fengzhan smiled but said, "The play is over, what else do I need to do here?"

Mu Qingsi was startled: "What do you mean, son? I don't understand."

Chunyu Fengzhan waved his sleeves, with a smile on his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes: "You and your sister are both masters in acting, but the scenes you act are more to my liking, so, I I won't expose you."

Mu Qingsi was dripping with cold sweat, her eyes suddenly turned black.

Chunyu Fengzhan said indifferently: "I'm not interested in the fight between you women. What I want to do is a big deal. Don't bother me with trivial matters in the back house."

Mu Qingsi suddenly felt a chill in her heart: "That's your concubine, your child, you don't care?"

Chunyu Fengzhan said indifferently: "It's just a bastard, since it's born, it's not bad for that pair of chopsticks."

Mu Qingsi said coldly: "I was born a bastard!"

Chunyu Fengzhan approached her with a smile, and whispered in her ear: "So what I want to tell you is, what is there to fight for the status of the eldest son of a concubine? If you want to fight, go fight for the seat of the concubine. Could it be that in your life? Do you only want to be my concubine in this life?"

Mu Qingsi's eyes widened immediately: "What do you mean?"

Chunyu Fengzhan stood up straight, and said with a smile: "If you really want to fight, then you have to aim higher and take the position of Prince Fanyang's son and concubine, and then she is worthy to be my Chunyu Fengzhan's woman."

Seeing her listening in a daze, seeming to realize something, Chunyu Fengzhan chuckled, turned and left.

Aunt Liu, who had always been unknown, was not favored when she was alive, and she was buried in a thin coffin when she died. It won't be long before even her name will be remembered.

The days passed like this day by day, and Mu Qingxi did not go out since that day.It's not that she has any concerns, but that the business of the three stores has entered a relatively stable track, and she no longer needs to do anything.

However, Bai's quickly became a hot celebrity after that match, and even the business of Deyilou was even more prosperous than before.When countless people come to Deyilou, they must order that dish: boiled cabbage.

If it weren't for the fact that Mrs. Bai is a woman, I'm afraid that after eating, I would still want to visit this female chef again.

There were also other restaurants that privately wanted to invite Bai Shi to serve as the chef in a nearby restaurant at a high price, but Bai Shi politely declined.

Now her family has moved out of the small alley where they used to live, and moved into a big house with three entrances and three exits.

Not only did the two children go to school, the family also hired maids and women, and the elderly were also taken care of. The man of the family opened a bigger shop, and he was freed from slavery. It's sweet.

All of this was given by that person, so Bai's is very contented and grateful now.

Mu Qingxi smiled slightly when she heard what Nanny Feng told her, "Shi Bai, she really read it right.

Seeing Nanny Feng stop talking, Mu Qingxi took out a stack of papers from the gold-painted box next to the bed and handed it to Nanny Feng.

"Aunt Feng, this is the dowry when I got married, the land deeds of eight hundred pieces of fertile land, you find a chance to take them out, find a way to sell them all, and exchange them for silver."

Mother Feng asked in surprise: "It's so good, what are you selling this for?"

Mu Qingxi smiled faintly: "Didn't you notice that the atmosphere in the palace has changed a bit recently?"

Mother Feng was startled, thinking carefully.Although the maids and servants in the inner house have become extremely respectful under the training of Mu Qingxi these days, they don't dare to belittle them on weekdays.

But these days, except for a few cronies around him, the rest of the people are more or less perfunctory.A few days ago, I didn't realize it because I was busy with some matters in the restaurant, but recently I had time to think about it carefully, and some women who were not very convinced before seemed to run to Xin'an Pavilion more cheerfully.

"Miss, what do you mean?" Mother Feng was not stupid, and quickly thought of the crux.

Mu Qingxi sneered: "If my guess is right, if it's not that the two things we lost showed our flaws, or our prince has lost the patience to pretend. Presumably at this time, he may be thinking of something in his heart Woolen cloth!"

Mother Feng's face was cloudy, and Mu Qingxi stuffed the land deeds into her arms: "While you can still go out, quickly ask Mr. Xu to exchange these land deeds for silver, and don't want the surplus silver from the three shops." Move, these are enough, maybe one day, these silver will come in handy."

Mother Feng's voice trembled: "Miss, you have only been married for less than half a year, don't you want to..."

Mu Qingxi bent her lips and smiled: "Yes, I want to make up."

In fact, in ancient times, not everything was bad, at least this marriage was relatively free.If both parties dislike each other, they can get a divorce, which is called reconciliation.

Although both parties are considered to have status, if they really can't make it through and want to reconcile, it is still feasible, but...Mu Qingxi rubbed his chin and pondered, if they can't get what they want, really Are you willing to let yourself go?

Mother Feng said sadly: "Before Madam died, the only thing she wanted was to find a lifelong reliable person for Miss, but she didn't expect it to be less than half a year..."

Mu Qingxi smiled and said: "Aunt Feng and mother are both wrong. My life cannot be in the hands of others, it needs to be fought for by myself. If only my body and my face can be seen by a man, then I would rather No, the man I need is someone who walks shoulder to shoulder with me, who can not only understand me, but also understand my heart, only such a man is worthy of my sincerity."

Aunt Feng sighed softly, but her eyes showed light, she nodded: "Okay, Aunt Feng will listen to you, anyway, wherever you go, Aunt Feng will accompany you wherever you go."

What Mu Qingxi said was right, Prince Chunyu was really upset, this place is not less than a thousand miles away from Bianmo, and it would take more than a month to go back and forth.

When he first got the treasure map from Mu Qingxi, he was thinking about not telling anyone, and wanted to find out the location secretly.Unexpectedly, King Fanyang sent letters one after another, urging him to find the map quickly, so he had no choice but to send the map and the bronze animal head to the border desert.

In those days, he was complacent, thinking that after his father got the treasure, he would immediately raise troops and invade the imperial capital.At that time, let the father and king live the addiction of being an emperor. Anyway, the father and king only have one son, and the throne will be his own sooner or later.

Who would have thought that within a month of having such a beautiful dream, King Fanyang sent someone to send a letter within eight hundred miles, scolding him bloody.

Both the map and the bronze animal head are fake.

At first, King Fanyang didn't believe it, so he found several staff members to participate in the research, and finally came to a conclusion unanimously: the map is fake, and the animal head is a street stall.

In a rage, King Fanyang almost rode back to the imperial capital, really wanting to whip his stupid son severely.

Fortunately, there is still a glimmer of clarity in his mind, and he knows that if he returns to Beijing like this, he may be severely impeached by those censors if he has not rebelled.

He ordered people to bring these two things back to the prince, and asked him to handle it by himself. If he couldn't find the real map and the animal head, then he would obediently be the prince of Fanyang for the rest of his life.

 Have a great weekend everyone!
