Chapter 69

Hearing that her daughter was coming, Xiao Shi immediately suppressed the anger in the corners of her brows and eyes, and sat up straight.

The door curtain was raised, and Mu Yunge followed the girl in.As soon as she came in, she untied the heavy cloak first, revealing her little face that was red from the cold. Naturally, Xiao Shi could see clearly that her complexion was not good, so she hurriedly waved her hand to ask Yuxi to guard the door, and then asked Yuling to pour it out. After giving Mu Yunge a cup of hot tea, he asked with concern, "What's wrong, you look so bad!"

Mu Yunge nodded, and then told Xiao Shi exactly what he had just heard from Xu Xuan.

After hearing this, Xiao Shi was so angry that his hands trembled, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground: "This jerk, how dare you use this matter to sow discord!"

"Mother, don't be angry." Mu Yunge saw that Xiao Shi was angry, but his face became more and more calm.She frowned tightly, tapped on the table with her fingers: "Actually, Xu Xuan was right. The aunts in the family are all young and beautiful, and most of my father stays in their room. No more children, my daughter feels very strange."

When Xiao heard what she said, she also felt puzzled. She couldn't help but hold her breath and think: "You mean, some people don't want the Mu family to have other children?"

Mu Yunge nodded.

She had never thought about this before, but now that she thinks about it, there are many doubts about it.

There are only two children in the Mu family, she and Mu Jinran. She is a daughter. According to the laws of the Great Wei, daughters cannot inherit the family business.The only hope of the Mu family rests on Mu Jinran alone. If something happens to Jinran, wouldn't the Mu family be in danger?
The more she thought about it, the more terrifying she felt, and she couldn't help recalling the events since Mu Jinran was born.She remembered that when Jinran was just two years old, she almost fell into the lotus pond. Fortunately, Yushan found out in time that no tragedy happened; when Jinran was three years old, her mother almost got lost when she took Jinran out; Time was uneventful, but after Jinran was six years old, there were several accidents in succession, and each time the danger was saved...

In the past, she thought it was all accidental, but after being reminded by Xu Xuan, she discovered the key to it.

Ever since Mu Jinran was born, someone has been trying to kill Jinran!

Some people simply don't want the Mu family to have successors!

who is it?Who is it?
But Mu Yunge couldn't think of it, she looked at the worried Xiao Shi, maybe before Mu Jinran was born, he was already in trouble!
Thinking of this, Mu Yunge couldn't help asking: "Mother, did anything happen when you were pregnant with Jinran?"

"You mean?" Xiao asked in surprise.

She didn't know what she thought of, the blood on her face disappeared, and she was in a mess in an instant: "I... When I was just pregnant with Jinran, a girl poisoned my diet. Fortunately, I found it early, and I was vomiting again. I only took one bite..."

Mu Yunge raised his head suddenly: "Where's that girl?"

Xiao shivered and said: "Your father values ​​Jinran very much, so of course he was very angry when he encountered this, so he beat that girl with a cane on the spot. That girl was also a roommate, and she confessed that it was because she was jealous that I had Jinran, I just wanted to poison me to death. Of course, such a person can’t stay in Mu’s house. He was dispatched to the kiln on the same day. I heard that she died within a few days. She was an orphan and there was no one at home. It was the corpse that the people in the kiln helped clean up, and it was buried in a mass grave."

The clue is broken!

Mu Yunge's brows were furrowed, and Xiao Shi also became restless.All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the room was extraordinarily solemn.

At this moment, I suddenly heard Yuxi say at the door: "Ma'am, miss, the master is here, and his expression is wrong!"

Mu Yunge's eyes sank, knowing that Mu Zhizhao had appeased Xu Xuan, and came to Xingshi to question him!

Xiao's naturally also knew that Mu Zhizhao finally listened to Xu Xuan's provocation, otherwise he wouldn't come to him angrily after taking a break.There was a burst of bitterness and sadness in her heart, and she simply sat still.

Mu Zhizhao strode in, he didn't expect that Mu Yunge was also in Xiao's room, his gloomy face froze, he snorted coldly, and sat down opposite Xiao's room.

"Father, Aunt Xuan said she had a stomachache during dinner, how are you doing now?" In front of Mu Zhizhao, Mu Yunge has all the manners she should have. Yes, but when Xu Xuan entered Mu's house, she could still tolerate the call of aunt.

When something like that happened at dinner just now, Xu Xuan couldn't hold back her face, she reasoned that she had a stomachache, and left without dinner, which also gave Mu Yunge an excuse to ask.

Hearing Mu Yunge's address, Mu Zhizhao's complexion improved slightly, but he was still very angry, and he squinted at Xiao Shi: "Hmph, I can't die, I'm still counting on her stomach to fight for some strength, and then I will give you a little bit of anger." I gave birth to a son, otherwise the Mu family would not know whose Mu family it is!"

When Xiao Shi heard this tone, she felt even more desperate and wronged, and her eyes turned red.

Mu Yunge held her hand under the table and squeezed it gently.Xiao was comforted by her daughter, and her grievances did not decrease but increased, so she turned sideways and gently wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Mu Zhi summoned Xiao Shi to cry, his heart was also terrified, but he hardened his heart and just refused.

Mu Yunge smiled softly: "Father is fine, why do you have to say that death is so unlucky? Aunt Xuan is blessed and lucky, and she will definitely give the Mu family another son. The aunts in the house have nothing to do, so father goes out Met a caring person in just one trip, and was happy once in a while, Aunt Xuan's blessing is much deeper than that of the other aunts, it must be God's blessing in secret!"

She seemed to comfort Mu Zhizhao, but the reasons in her words naturally shifted Mu Zhizhao's doubts about Xiao's to other places.

Yushan nodded secretly when she heard that, the eldest lady can speak, and she said a few words lightly, which made the master's face change!

Mu Zhizhao's heart was turbulent.The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener meant it. His daughter's words calmed his furious heart all of a sudden.His reason came back to his mind, and he also realized that he was impulsive.Xiao Shi has followed her for many years since she married her. She is virtuous and virtuous, and never competes with other concubines. Her character is trustworthy.Then, the problem is naturally not on Xiao Shi...

He glanced at the aggrieved Xiao Shi, and felt guilty for a while, but the man's self-esteem made him unable to say a word of apology.

What's more, when I think about what my daughter just said, a bad premonition wells up in my heart: Yes, the other concubines of the Mu family have always lived in the inner courtyard, and they don't go out of the gate. There has never been a child, but it was Xu Xuan... Xu Xuan met him when he was out for a party, he was drunk, and when he woke up, the two had already had a skin-to-skin relationship...

The more Mu Zhizhao thought about it, the more suspicious he felt!
He slammed the table: "Go to Linchun Building and bring Xu Xuan here!"

Manager Xu has been following behind him, seeing him furious, he immediately turned around and went to Linchun Building, and brought Xu Xuan over.

Manager Xu kept his eyes open and went to Linchun Building, only saying that the master was invited.Xu Xuan was delighted by his attitude, thinking that Mu Zhizhao's questioning had come to an end, and now it was time to confront Xiao Shi by herself.She nodded again and again, cleaned up carefully, and then followed Guanshi Xu to Xiao's main courtyard with a smile on her face.

As soon as she entered the room, Xu Xuan sensed that something was wrong. She thought for a moment, turned around and walked to Xiao's side. She seemed to greet Xiao respectfully, but her eyes glanced at Mu Zhizhao: "Xuan'er sees you!" Master, madam, miss!"

As expected, Mu Zhizhao did what she expected. When he received her gaze, he stretched out his hand to pull her: "I said before, you are pregnant, so you can avoid it in the morning and evening. It's cold on the ground, sit beside me. "He said, patted the seat beside him, and motioned Xu Xuan to sit down.

Xu Xuan took a look at Xiao Shi, and seeing Xiao Shi's eyes were red, she understood that she had cried, and her plan had succeeded.She suppressed the smug smile on the corner of her mouth, and said timidly: "Xuan'er dare not, Madam respect..."

"If I tell you to sit, sit down!" Mo Zhizhao impatiently pulled her to sit down.

Coincidentally, Xu Xuan's seat was between Mu Zhizhao and Mu Yunge.

Xiao Shi didn't know why, but seeing Mu Zhizhao's actions, he couldn't help feeling sad again.

Mu Yunge secretly laughed, father really suspected Xu Xuan.Ever since Aunt Xiao calculated that Mu Zhizhao could not succeed last time, Mu Yunge used pills to help Mu Zhizhao sober up, and formally studied medicine in the name of Imperial Physician Mei, her medical skills have been completely revealed.Dad's move seems to protect Xu Xuan, but secretly it should be for the convenience of him to find out how many months Xu Xuan is pregnant, right?
After Xu Xuan sat down, she immediately glanced at Xiao Shi provocatively, needless to say she was proud of it.

Taking advantage of this moment, Mu Yunge put his hand on her wrist naturally, but said in his mouth: "Aunt Xuan, we are all a family, why are you so polite? You must be thirsty all the way, do you want some honey water?"

Xu Xuan couldn't get used to Mu Yunge's closeness, and Mu Yunge pulled her tight again, making her uncomfortable, so she couldn't help trying to break free, and said, "Thank you miss, but I don't dare to drink the water here... ..."

There was something in her words, and she looked at Mu Zhizhao pitifully and helplessly.

There was a big rock hanging in Mu Zhizhao's heart, and he was wholeheartedly waiting for Mu Yunge's result, so he didn't care about her, he just pretended he didn't hear.

Mu Yunge put his hand on Xu Xuan's wrist, and quickly came to a conclusion.She closed her eyes, the result was somewhat different from what she had expected, but Wei Shi's news was never complete or untrue, so what went wrong?

Seeing Xu Xuan withdraw her hand, she suddenly had a plan in her mind, and immediately took advantage of it to attack.

Mu Yunge pouted in grievance, looked at his hand in frustration, and said pitifully, "Aunt Xuan, don't you like Yunge holding your hand? Why are you pinching Yunge so hard?"

Her skin is fair, unlike Xu Xuan's rough hands, so she held Xu Xuan's hand hard without leaving any marks, but Xu Xuan's nails burned red marks on her wrist when he struggled.As soon as she stretched out her hand, Xiao immediately grabbed her hand and rubbed it with distressed face.Mu Zhizhao was also a little shocked, and glanced at Xu Xuan dissatisfied.

Xu Xuan was dumb and couldn't tell if she was suffering from Coptis chinensis, so she said angrily, "You were the one who pinched me first!"

Who wouldn't play tricks?
Mu Yunge heard the words, and immediately threw herself into Mu Zhizhao's arms and pretended to cry: "Aunt Xuan wronged me! I know that Aunt Xuan doesn't like Mother, and I don't like Yun Ge, so I said that on purpose!"
