Chapter 144: Addicted

The old lady wanted Aunt Zhang to return home, and wanted her father to write off the previous punishment for the sake of Aunt Zhang's "suffering", but she had to agree to this matter.

"It seems that what I'm going to go to today is an out-and-out Hongmen banquet."

The Red Shadow stood next to her and listened to her whispering, silently agreeing in her heart. When Mu Xiaofeng didn't need her to speak, she naturally wouldn't say a word.

Mu Xiaofeng was silent for a moment, and then turned his head and instructed the other green-shirted maidservant, "Qingruo, go back and prepare, you can't be late for dinner at Suxi Hall." ”

In front of the old lady, she usually guards her junior.

Of course, this is just a general situation.

Of course, Mu Xiaofeng would not go to Suxi Hall just by stepping on the point, but when she arrived, except for her father Mu Tianda, Mu Mingyue was already gossiping with the old lady in the main hall. Seeing that they were chatting harmoniously and happily, Mu Xiaofeng guessed that Mu Mingyue had been here for at least half an hour.

Mu Xiaofeng needs to salute the old lady, and on the contrary, Mu Mingyue also needs to salute her as a peer.

Needless to say, when Mu Mingyue saw her calm and indifferent temperament, she already hated her teeth in her heart.

Seeing this, even if the old lady couldn't see the dark tide surging under them, she knew that they had never been right. So after saluting, they beckoned to move to the side hall to prepare for dinner.

"Mother, I have some things to deal with, and I'm too late." When everyone was seated in the side hall, Mu Tianda was the last to arrive, so he naturally greeted the old lady first.

"You're here, sit down." The old lady smiled lovingly, and seemed not to be at all disgusted by his tardiness.

Mu Xiaofeng hurriedly greeted him with a smile, "Daddy, sit here." ”

"My father is busy with business, but I should pay attention to take care of my health." After Mu Tianda sat down, Mu Mingyue immediately gently and thoughtfully clothed the dishes and chopsticks for him.

Seeing this, Mu Tianda only bowed slightly to her with a wooden face, and did not open his mouth to talk to her.

The old lady looked at Mu Mingyue and then at Mu Tianda, so she had to smile and play a round, "Okay, since everyone is here, let's start eating." ”

The old lady gave an order, and the servants began to hold various dishes and fish in the mouth.

At this time, Mu Mingyue stood up, left her seat and took a cup of soup from her subordinates, put it in front of the old lady flatteringly, and said softly, "Grandmother, this is the American ginseng chicken soup that I specially ordered the kitchen to stew for you." ”

"I heard that grandmother has not been in good spirits lately, and it is best to drink this American ginseng chicken soup," she took a porcelain bowl and scooped a small bowl herself and blew it until it was warm before putting it in front of the old lady, "Why don't grandmothers taste this soup first?" ”

Although the old lady did not show a pleasant and happy look at her hospitality, her face was quite gentle, she reached out to take the soup bowl and nodded to her, and said lukewarmly, "Okay, I'll taste it." ”

Mu Mingyue saw her take the bowl, as if she was relieved, and stood behind the old lady with a soft smile, and did not immediately walk back to her seat.

It seemed that she was still waiting for the results of the old lady's tasting, and she looked nervous and worried, as if she was afraid that the soup would displease the old lady.

Mu Xiaofeng lowered her eyebrows and looked at her overly cautious demeanor, and felt extremely ironic in her heart.

The old lady slowly tasted the chicken soup one by one, and her originally peaceful face gradually became a little weird.

Seeing this, Mu Mingyue immediately asked nervously and whispered, "Grandmother, how does this soup taste?" ”

The old lady didn't answer, but took two more sips with her head down, and suddenly felt an itchy throat and immediately coughed uncontrollably.

She hurriedly put down the soup bowl, took the handkerchief handed by Yao's mother, covered her mouth sideways, and coughed for a while before stopping.

Mu Tianda immediately looked at the old lady worriedly, "Mother, are you okay?" ”

Mu Mingyue was also so nervous that her face changed, "Grandmother? Is this soup not to your taste? ”

After asking this, she took the soup bowl that the old lady had just put down in her hand again, and inhaled hard in confusion. Before the old lady could speak, she suddenly whispered in confusion and surprise, "Hey, this soup doesn't taste right. ”

The old lady took a sip of tea and calmed down, and suddenly heard her words, and immediately showed a slight displeasure and asked, "What's wrong?" Isn't this the chicken soup you specifically ordered the kitchen to stew? ”

"Yes," Mu Mingyue lowered her head to look at the old lady, and when she saw her uncertain face, she suddenly became a little panicked, "However, I ordered the kitchen to use American ginseng stew, not ginseng that is a big tonic for dryness." ”

She was afraid that the old lady would misunderstand, so she hurriedly said, "Grandmother is not in good spirits, it is best to use cool and mild American ginseng to replenish vitality, ginseng is hot and easy to catch fire, if grandmother drinks ginseng stewed chicken soup at this time, the effect is only afraid that it will backfire." ”

Mu Xiaofeng glanced up at her, smiled and answered casually, "It seems that the second aunt and grandmother have studied these ginseng soups quite a bit now, and they are about to catch up with the professional doctors when they hear this experience." ”

The gentle smile on Mu Mingyue's face immediately stiffened slightly, but Mu Tianda's mind had already turned to the scene when he met Mu Mingyue in the residential area of Jinshui Bridge.

"The eldest sister said that I laughed, I just heard that my grandmother was in bad spirits recently, so I specially asked the doctor for common sense about these aspects." Mu Mingyue glanced at the old lady softly and said softly, "The eldest sister is busy waiting for the lady, and sometimes it is common for her grandmother to take care of her. My grandmother was kind and kind, and I must have felt very relieved to see that my eldest sister was filial. ”

As soon as she came back with a bowl of soup, she couldn't wait to pick up the old lady's dissatisfaction with her, is it really okay for Mu Mingyue to be so anxious?

Mu Xiaofeng looked at her with some amusement, nodded directly and admitted generously, "The second aunt and grandmother are right, grandmother will naturally be considerate of being filial to her children." ”

If the old lady dared to use this excuse to say that she should not only be filial to her own mother and snub her grandmother, then the old lady herself should first refuse to let her father serve her filial piety in front of her.

Mu Mingyue found that she couldn't bargain verbally, and she didn't want to entangle with Mu Xiaofeng anymore, but frowned, gently stirred the soup spoon, and looked at the old lady with a little hesitation.

When the old lady saw her expression, she chuckled in her heart, and then asked quietly, "How?" What's really wrong with this soup? ”

"This soup ......" Mu Mingyue's face suddenly became extremely embarrassed, and she showed a little strangeness in her embarrassment, she hesitated for a while before she continued, "The American ginseng in it was somehow replaced with ginseng." ”

Seeing this, Mu Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows in surprise and sighed, "Second aunt and grandmother, this soup is really miraculous, just now I said that ginseng is too dry and not suitable for the old lady, the old lady just drank a few sips, and immediately took effect and coughed hotly." ”

Rao is a conceited and cheeky person like Mu Mingyue, and when he heard her words that seemed to be unintentional but were sarcastic, he couldn't help but have hot cheeks.

The old lady's face couldn't help but be slightly hot, she coughed just now definitely not to echo Mu Mingyue, and at this moment, her face was hot just to annoy Mu Xiaofeng's disrespectful eyes.

She tilted her head and looked at Mu Mingyue, who was embarrassed and at a loss, and she was also a little confused, "Didn't you say before that you ordered your subordinates to use American ginseng?" ”

Mu Mingyue looked at the old lady with a blank expression, and her beautiful face showed a slight shallow grievance, "Mingyue did deliberately and carefully instruct her, but somehow she suddenly turned into ginseng." ”

Yahuan Chunshao, who was in the corner, raised her head and glanced at the old lady quickly, and then looked at Mu Mingyue, a little nervous and a little anxious.

The old lady's angle was just when she raised her eyes to see her attitude of wanting to speak and stopping, and with a frown, the old lady asked coldly, "Chun Shao, do you know anything?" ”

"Old lady, slave maid ......" Chun Shao lowered her head and bit her lip, lowered her head and glanced in the direction of Mu Xiaofeng, her eyes hinted quite obviously, but she said, "The slave didn't see anything." ”

Mu Xiaofeng watched Mu Mingyue's master and servant sing and harmonize, only smiled faintly in his heart, his eyes swept at Chun Peony with a slight coldness, and he was silent at this time.

No matter how old the old lady is, she can see it clearly, and it is obvious that there is something in Chun Shao's words that hints at her.

Her face sank, and she suddenly snorted coldly, "Say what you see, don't spit out people's appetite here." ”

Mu Mingyue immediately showed a look of embarrassment, she glanced at Chun Shao, whose body was trembling, and had to comfort her softly, "Chun Shao, if you really see something, say it, grandmother has always been fair and kind, if you didn't do anything wrong, she would never deliberately embarrass you." ”

Chun Shao glanced at Mu Xiaofeng in fear, bit her lip tremblingly, and suddenly knelt down towards the old lady and knocked down hard, "Old lady, the slave maid went to the kitchen to urge the cook before, who knew that she would only see the eldest lady and her maid Qingruo in the kitchen." ”

Mu Tianda's eyes were cold, and he swished coldly, invisibly like a sharp arrow shooting down on Chun Shao's body.

The old lady was stunned, and then glanced at Mu Xiaofeng suspiciously, "See the eldest lady?" See what she's doing in the kitchen? ”

Chun Shao buried her head deep in the ground, "Slave maid slave maid saw that Qing Ruo beside the eldest lady was putting something in the soup pot. ”

The old lady's eyes narrowed, suppressing the anger in her heart, and stared at Mu Xiaofeng coldly for a long time before waving her hand to Chun Shao, "You get up." ”

Mu Tianda was anxious, and opened his mouth to explain a few sentences for his daughter, but he thought about it but didn't know how to explain it.

And he saw Mu Xiaofeng sitting leisurely and calmly, with a pretty face that was not panicked at all, and inexplicably, Mu Tianda gradually felt settled.

Xiaoxiao is so sensible that a person can do such a rebellious thing to the old lady, he really cares about it, and he is nervous here.

The old lady saw that Mu Xiaofeng was fine, she was not weak or defensive, and she could even say that she was indifferent to Chun Shao's accusation just now, and the anger that she tried her best to suppress and endure in her heart rushed up.

"Miss, don't you have anything to explain?"

Mu Xiaofeng raised his head and winked at her blankly and innocently, his bright eyes only shone with a crystal color, "Old lady, why should I explain?" ”

The old lady was almost so angry that she couldn't breathe well, gritted her teeth, and almost burst into anger and roared, "What did you instruct your maid to put in the soup pot?" Shouldn't it be explained well? ”

Mu Xiaofeng looked sideways, looked at Mu Mingyue, who was already slightly smug under her gentle face, and slowly said disapprovingly, "Oh, there's actually nothing to explain about this." ”

The old lady choked, and her face directly turned into the background color of the pot.

Mu Xiaofeng glanced at the trembling and shrunken Chun Peony next to him, but said slowly, "I did ask Qing Ruo to put a lot of ginseng in the soup pot. ”

The corners of Mu Mingyue's mouth immediately couldn't help but tilt slightly, the purple-clothed girl's eyes flickered, maliciously hooked the corners of her lips and smiled silently mockingly, before continuing, "But that pot of soup was originally specially stewed for my mother to drink." ”

She spread her hands, and in Mu Mingyue's suddenly changed face, she said innocently, "Old lady, you know, my mother has always been too weak, her blood is not strong and she has been sick for many years, this ginseng stew is the most suitable for her to drink." ”

She lowered her eyes with a confused look, "I really don't understand what to explain here. ”

Even Mu Tianda on the side couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw her innocent expression, but when he saw the old lady's dark face, he tried his best to hold back.

How could he not know that Xiaoxiao still had such a lively potential, and he liked to use such a bad ...... Oh no, is it a unique way to play tricks on people?

The old lady's face was not good, and Mu Mingyue's face was even more unsightly.

However, Mu Mingyue was only annoyed for a while, and when she came back to her senses, she gently complimented, "The eldest sister's filial piety to Madame is really commendable. ”

Mu Xiaofeng glanced at her, and immediately intercepted the words unceremoniously, "That's natural, my mother is not someone else, she is my mother." ”

When these words were said suddenly, Mu Mingyue's face turned red and white.

Mu Xiaofeng said bluntly, and her eyes were meaningful and full of hints, and no one here could hear that she was sarcastic that Mu Mingyue never waited in front of her mother-in-law, but she was still pretending to be filial here.

However, Mu Mingyue was so angry that she was only angry by Mu Xiaofeng's nose for a while. She saw the soup bowl out of the corner of her eye, and immediately returned to her thoughts, taking a breath silently, and she had a gentle, generous, and understanding face.

"It's a well-known thing that the eldest sister is filial to her wife," Mu Mingyue glanced at Mu Xiaofeng with a generous and gentle smile, and when she saw that she was still indifferent, she couldn't help but hate her even more, "But can the eldest sister tell everyone why there is ginseng in the old lady's soup?" ”

She smiled, looked at Mu Xiaofeng with a slight grievance, and whispered, "If the eldest sister has any dissatisfaction with me, just come to me, grandmother, she just hopes that the family house will be peaceful and enjoy the family of children and grandchildren." ”

If you are dissatisfied with her, just come at her? Mu Mingyue really took herself seriously.

Mu Xiaofeng couldn't help but look at her with admiration, as if she had a deep hatred for the old lady, not only was she dissatisfied with the old lady's actions, but also hoped that the house would not be peaceful!

Mu Mingyue's eyes were cold, but her face showed a look of resignation, "If the eldest sister really doesn't like it, I won't go back to my parents' house in the future." ”

If it weren't for the spearhead being aimed at herself, Mu Xiaofeng would really have to praise her excellent singing and songwriting performance, and she would be addicted to daring to love Mu Mingyue to sow discord
