Concubine Lu was silent, and took advantage of the silence to quietly raise her eyes to pay attention to the prince's expression.

I saw him frown slightly, then raised his eyes, and looked at her a little coldly and a little blankly, "What's the matter?" ”

Concubine Lu opened her mouth hesitantly, and looked at him again and again. Seeing this, the prince immediately couldn't bear to be cold and asked, "Say?" ”

"Your Highness," Concubine Lu lowered her head slightly, the corner of her eyes quietly swept over him, and said tentatively, "I wonder if Your Highness still remembers the last time Heng'er was injured?" ”

The prince's heart suddenly fell, and he frowned and glanced at her strangely, before nodding and saying, "Of course I remember." ”

Concubine Lu blinked, still hesitant. However, she glanced at the crown prince, bit her lip, and showed a resolute appearance, and said quickly, "Your Highness, in fact, the concubine lied about that incident. ”

"Lying?" The prince's face changed abruptly, and his voice unconsciously raised a little, "Why are you lying?" What does that have to do with the crown princess? ”

Concubine Lu lowered her head, looking ashamed, and her eyes looking at the prince were slightly afraid, as if she was struggling in her heart for a while, before she whispered, "Actually, when Heng'er fell down the stone steps, the crown princess stood below and watched not far away. ”

She paused, with a guilty and distressed look on her face, "At that time, Heng'er didn't fall down by stepping on the air at all, but the maidservant standing behind him was hinted by the princess and gently pushed him in the back. ”

"The concubine was afraid that His Highness would blame Heng'er for not caring for him, so she lied at the beginning, saying that she was standing nearby and watching."

The prince's eyebrows jumped suddenly, and his eyes were no longer softened before, but showed obvious annoyance, "Then when did you know the truth about this?" ”

Concubine Lu lowered her head, and her fragrant shoulders seemed to tremble slightly under the prince's annoyed gaze.

After a while, he said cautiously, "Two days ago, the maid next to the concubine was matched. The concubine thanked her for her hard work for many years, and specially added a few more pieces of jewelry to her as a dowry, and she felt guilty when she parted before telling the concubine the truth. ”

As she spoke, she raised her head guiltily and uneasily, "Since the concubine can know about this, maybe others will know about it in the future." The concubine thought about it and thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't make up her mind, so she came to ask to see His Highness. ”

To be honest, the crown prince will not care about the reputation of the crown princess.

Poisoning the concubine? This crime is both light and light, and it is serious and serious, and the key is him.

If it weren't for the fact that he was on the cusp of the storm right now, it would have been a good thing for him. However, even if he can't use this matter for the time being, it doesn't mean that he can't use this matter in the future.

The prince frowned, but at this moment he remembered another thing in his heart.

remembers that when his only son had an accident, he was taking Mu Xiaofeng's Geng sticker in the palace to find Qin Tianjian to join the eight characters.

Just when Lord Ruan, the Qin Heavenly Supervisor, panicked and told him that Mu Xiaofeng's eight-character Lord Da Yin and that meeting with him would bring a disaster of blood light, he got the news that Heng'er had fallen and was bleeding.

Now I suddenly learned the truth, and the person who caused Heng'er's accident was actually the crown princess. He was very suspicious that the crown princess was plotting with him on the surface to help him take Mu Xiaofeng as a side concubine, but in fact, she hid her selfishness and didn't like him to do this at all, so she secretly made something to prevent him from taking Mu Xiaofeng as a side concubine.

Hu Jingrong is really deep in thought.

Concubine Lu saw his gradually clenched fists, and her face became more and more uneasy, but she was secretly happy in her heart.

"Although the concubine doesn't know why the crown princess did such a thing in the first place," Concubine Lu looked uneasy, glanced at him, and said softly, "But the concubine was worried about Heng'er later, and secretly went to the temple to ask the monks. ”

"The senior monk said that Heng'er accidentally fell and bled out, unintentionally responding to the bad omen of the bloody disaster, but at the same time - it also responded to the bad omen that the prince's mansion began to go wrong."

The prince was silent, and suddenly looked at her with a gloomy face, "Did the senior monk really say that?" ”

Concubine Lu nodded hurriedly, "The concubine doesn't dare to say half a lie." ”

The crown prince remembered what the crown princess said before, and then related to what he heard at this moment, and suddenly sneered with a calm face.

His crown princess - what a good!

When Concubine Lu saw him sneering, she knew that he was extremely angry and resentful of the crown princess. Once he was extremely disappointed in the crown princess, then the position of the crown princess would naturally become precarious from the previous stability.

It was only at this time that Concubine Lu, who was originally suspicious, secretly admired the person who secretly cooperated with her in her heart.

The Hu family is gone, and the crown princess has lost her mother's family as support, what else can she fight with her?

On the background? Her Lu family is no worse than the Hu family at the moment. Speaking of heirs, she can directly dump the crown princess for several streets.

I hope that Her Royal Highness will listen to her words today, in addition to suspecting that the crown princess is alienating the crown princess, and will not be an enemy of the eldest lady of the Mu family in the future.

Mu Xiaofeng, looking a few years younger than her, but in it, she has the ability to understand people's hearts and the means of calculation, and I am afraid that only the queen of the middle palace can match it.

She really didn't want the prince to be unable to take this woman under his command, but she had to become an enemy of life and death.

When Mu Xiaofeng secretly chose to cooperate with Concubine Lu, she was not worried about whether Concubine Lu would suddenly betray her one day.

Because Concubine Lu had long been blinded by her own ambition, she didn't expect that from the moment she agreed to cooperate with Mu Xiaofeng, she would be on the opposite side of the prince.

Even if it is for her own sake, she will not and dare not disclose this matter to the prince in the future.

The turbulent dark tide in the prince's mansion could not affect Mu Xiaofeng's joy at the moment.

After determining his brother's thoughts, Mu Xiaofeng almost couldn't wait to prepare a gift to visit Zhou Hongyu in the Zhou Mansion.

At this moment, she was sitting in Zhou Hongyu's boudoir, talking about her perception of Mu Shaoxuan alone.

"Hongyu," Mu Xiaofeng sat face to face with her on the square table by the window, "What do you think of my brother?" ”

This question is too direct, and it is meaningful, Rao is a hearty Zhou Hongyu, and his face can't help but blush slightly.

However, she did not shy away from the question, nor did she bow her head shyly. Instead, he looked at Mu Xiaofeng directly and generously, and said, "Xiaofeng, I have always envied you for having such a brother as him." ”

"Hongyu, have you ever thought that one day, you will turn this envy into possession?"

Zhou Hongyu realized the question she asked, and her heart couldn't help jumping wildly, but she also looked directly at her, and asked without shyness, "This is what you mean?" Or does your brother mean him? ”

Mu Xiaofeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled knowingly, "Do you think I'm such a reckless person?" ”

Zhou Hongyu's pretty face was hot, but she immediately laughed happily, her eyes were bright and she looked at Mu Xiaofeng, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of joy, "So, is what he meant?" ”

Mu Xiaofeng nodded, "Hongyu, as long as you want, you can wait to be my sister-in-law." ”

The logic of her words was strange, but Zhou Hongyu understood it, and her heart was full of joy after a wild beat.

"My father and mother will definitely agree," she held back her joy, but the corners of her lips could not help but be raised, and the joy could not be concealed in any way, "They are always worried, and they don't know who will marry me in the future." ”

After saying this, Zhou Hongyu's pretty face finally showed a faint embarrassment.

Mu Xiaofeng immediately laughed happily, "It seems that my future sister-in-law is none other than you." ”

Zhou Hongyu immediately pretended to be serious and glanced at her, and said in a bright voice, "Cough, future sister-in-law, I will have to cover your future sister-in-law and me a lot in the future." ”

After saying goodbye to the Zhou Mansion, Mu Xiaofeng walked towards Zhao Ziyue's bedroom almost without hiding his joy.

"Mother," as soon as she entered the inner room, she immediately ran to Zhao Ziyue with her eyebrows fluttering, rubbed her head on Zhao's shoulder, and then said with joy on her face, "Let's hurry up and prepare and propose marriage to my brother." ”

Although she had briefly mentioned her dealings with Zhou Hongyu before, she had never mentioned the secret feelings between Zhou Hongyu and Mu Shaoxuan.

Now that Zhao Ziyue suddenly heard the good news, of course she was so surprised that she was confused.

"Propose? Shaoxuan, does he have a favorite girl? Which girl is it? Do you know each other? How is the character? ”

Mu Xiaofeng hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, "Mother, I know you are anxious, but can you not ask all the questions in one go." ”

Zhao deliberately glared at her with annoyance, "I know that my mother is in a hurry, so I don't hurry up and tell me the details one by one." ”

Mu Xiaofeng had to smile and beg for mercy, and then said with a slight smugness, "Mother, that girl is none other than Zhou Hongyu, the girl of the Zhou family that I once mentioned to you." ”

Zhao Ziyue was stunned, "I remember you said that you would appreciate her at first, because at the wind appreciation banquet, she was not afraid of offending the granddaughter of the Taifu to speak up for you?" ”

Mu Xiaofeng nodded, "I just appreciate her upright and generous and hearty temperament, besides, doesn't my mother think that her hearty generosity and eldest brother's rigorous and introverted dullness complement each other?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ziyue had no choice but to smile and shake her head, "You secretly brokered their affairs." ”

In this matter, Mu Xiaofeng is not afraid of his own merits. And in front of her mother, she is justified and taken for granted.

So she deliberately straightened her chest and said with a smile, "Isn't my mother dissatisfied with the future daughter-in-law that Xiaoxiao chose for you?" ”

"Of course my mother believes in Xiaoxiao's vision," Zhao put his arm around her shoulders and patted the back of her hand with some pity, "It's all the mother's ......, and even Shaoxuan's marriage has to worry about your sister." ”

Mu Xiaofeng immediately looked at her fixedly, and said softly, "Mother, don't be like this, you don't know that I am actually very happy to contribute to my brother's marriage." Besides, you see, the future sister-in-law I chose by myself will definitely have no problem getting along in the future. ”

"Moreover, I believe that with Hongyu's character, there will be no difficult mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problems in our family in the future."

Zhao Ziyue saw that her eyebrows were flying, and she felt even more guilty and blamed herself.

"Xiaoxiao," in addition to guilt, Zhao Ziyue's eyes looked at her more distressed and uneasy, "Your brother has found the person he likes, and his mother is very happy." But Xiaoxiao, you are busy with your brother's life's events, have you ever thought about your future? ”

She had always been worried about the indelible shadow that Qiu Fu's withdrawal would bring to her daughter, so she never dared to mention the topic of marriage to Mu Xiaofeng in person.

But now, Zhao Ziyue looked at the slim girl in front of her, no matter how reluctant she was. I have to admit that her Xiaoxiao has grown up.

mentioned that he would get married in the future, Mu Xiaofeng's interest faded significantly.

"Mother," Mu Xiaofeng didn't want her to worry, so she had to try to make an indifferent appearance, "My business, let's talk about it after I finish my eldest brother's marriage." ”

Although there are living examples of parental love in front of her, the tragic end of her failed marriage in her previous life has brought her psychological shadow, which can really not be changed overnight.

Although she is not completely resistant to resisting getting married again, she can't face this matter with a positive and optimistic attitude.

Even after a lifetime, those tragic experiences and injuries that went deep into the bone marrow are still as deep in her bones, so that she dare not forget them day and night.

It can only be said that if she really meets such a person who is worth her gamble once, maybe she will try to let go of her knot and try.

The premise is that the person who is worth gambling once in her life must first have the perseverance to open her heart knot, and then have the sincerity to move her.

Zhao Ziyue didn't know that she was in a bad mood, but she could see that she was suddenly depressed and had no interest in continuing the topic.

After thinking about it, she thought that she still couldn't let go of Qiu Fu's resignation in her heart, so she smiled gently, and finally stopped mentioning it.

It is a great joy to talk about kissing the Zhou Mansion, and everything is taken care of by Mu Xiaofeng, and Zhao Ziyue does not have to bother at all. So when she went to the Zhou Mansion to discuss this matter, it really went so smoothly that she felt as if she was in a dream.

Both parents agreed to get married, and since both men and women had reached the age of marriage, they quickly entered the process of getting married.

The date of marriage was set, and Zhou Hongyu naturally began to choose materials and embroidery samples in order to prepare a wedding dress for herself.

Mu Xiaofeng went to see her once when Mu Fu was hired by Zhou Fu, and Zhou Hongyu saw this friend and future sister-in-law, and immediately pulled her into his boudoir with excitement and nervousness.

"Xiaofeng, you help me come up with an idea, what kind of embroidery did I say my wedding dress looks good?"

She tilted her head, and her whole pretty face was red, full of happiness and joy.

looked at the purple-clothed girl with shining eyes, and asked seriously, "You said that it was good to embroider the dragon and phoenix?" Or is it better to embroider mandarin ducks and play in the water? ”

Mu Xiaofeng raised her eyebrows and teased her with a smile, "Future sister-in-law, don't you think you asked the wrong person this question?" ”

Zhou Hongyu blinked, and after a while, he looked at Mu Xiaofeng in a daze. When I looked at it, I suddenly blushed and laughed. Halfway through the laugh, I realized that my laughter was too amazing, and I quickly reached out to cover my mouth. But the joy and loud laughter still couldn't hide it from between her fingers.

Mu Xiaofeng even felt that until she returned to Fenglin Residence, her ears were still full of Zhou Hongyu's joyful and hearty real laughter.

Happiness came so easily that even God was jealous.

Just two days after Mu Xiaofeng met Zhou Hongyu, when Zhou Hongyu went outside to choose the material for the wedding dress, there was suddenly bad news that shocked everyone and was sad and unacceptable
