Chapter 126: Prelude
It's only been one night, and how did things become like this?
Liu Yun's face was full of anger, and she waved off the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and the sudden breath was held in her chest and made her whole person extremely irritable, "What are you doing, I asked you to let Mu Zhimo's disobedience and unfilial piety out, how did it become that the capital is now full of discussions about the rights and wrongs of Yan'er!"
And the lord there, didn't he send someone to guard it, why is it that now the lord rushed back overnight, and everyone arrived at the gate of the courtyard before anyone passed? It's all a bunch of waste, what's the use of raising you! ”
"Madame's anger! Damn the old slave! Mama Yan "pounced" as early as when Liu Yun was furious, and knelt on the ground solidly.
"In the middle of the night last night, the slave maid received a message from the little maid, saying that it was done, and it was indeed done according to Madame's instructions, but somehow it is indeed the reputation of the second lady now!
The slaves and maids sent by the master are also the sons of the family brought from Liufu, and all of them have been seen by the lady, so it is said that there will be no such a big thing, and no one has been sent back to pass the word. Now, I'm afraid it's ...... I'm afraid something happened to them. ”
"Bastard! What do you mean, I'm afraid that something happened to them too! Who can let them have an accident? A concubine who is locked up in a firewood room, can't I still cure it? Examine! Check it out for me! ”
"That's right! Be sure to check! It's obviously Mu Zhimo's cheapness. Why did people do things that caused me to suffer from such rumors! Now everyone in the capital must be laughing at me, how will my daughter go out to meet people in the future. ”
Mu Yunyan had a hideous face and cried hysterically, "Daddy is back just right, let him see how disobedient and unfilial his daughter is who he is dedicated to protecting, and see how the eldest lady of the Mu family, who everyone is vying to praise, is immoral." ”
"Miss no!" Where can Mama Yan let Mu Yunyan go out at this time to add fuel to the fire, hearing this, she hurriedly crawled and knelt down and hugged Mu Yunyan, "Miss, don't be impulsive, everything is still up to Mrs. to make decisions for Miss." If the young lady goes out this time and annoys the master, the gain outweighs the loss. ”
"The slave will definitely find out this matter carefully and give Madame and Miss an explanation! At this time, the most important thing is the lord here, the lord is afraid that the person who came back at this juncture is not good, the slave heard that the master brought back two people, both tied up with their heads and unable to see the appearance, and our people just had no news at this time, the slave and maid suspected that this matter was for the lady, and the lady had to deal with it carefully. ”
Mama Yan has served Liu Yun for most of her life, so she naturally knows her wife's temper, and besides, she really messed up this matter, and her wife didn't immediately let her mother-in-law come in to take responsibility, which was already giving her own affection. But at this time, the old man was rushing here, and now was not the time to find out the facts, so he hurriedly said.
The voice of the little maid asking for peace came from outside the house, and Mama Yan looked at Liu Yun with an anxious face.
Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, Liu Yun clenched her hands tightly to suppress the anger that was rolling in her heart, and casually took care of her dress twice, her face was already calm, and then she walked towards the main house behind the carved color screen, "Get up and clean up first, and Yan'er will follow to freshen up and come over." You will let Shuangbi go to the outer courtyard in a while, and the master will see her skills. ”
"Yes." Mama Yan breathed a sigh of relief, got up and pulled Mu Yunyan and retreated to the warm pavilion inside, her movements were quick and her ears were not idle, and she paid attention to the movements outside while instructing the little maid to wait.
Last night, a snow fell, and the cold wind in the courtyard that was cleaned by the little maid in the morning formed a thin layer of ice as soon as it passed, and the maid ran non-stop, and it didn't take much effort to mix the snow with ice slag and rammed a thick layer.
Mu Zhixuan strode all the way, the water stains on the ink-colored cloak embroidered brocade had not dried, and the corner flew up with his wide open movements, and he came to the front with a chill in a few breaths.
The cotton curtain was lifted, and the cold wind rushed in and stirred up the somewhat hot and oppressive air in the inner room.
"Sir." Liu Yun took the maid to the door steadily, bent her knees and called for a sentence, then got up by herself, and stood there quietly and even very straight, looking at Mu Zhixuan.
"Good! You're a great skill! ”
Mu Zhixuan even gritted his teeth a little word by word, and waved his palm on the purple sandalwood gold-painted plum blossom-style bookcase on his side with a dark face, and the tea cup on the earth-shaking bookcase rattled, "I've only been at home for a few days and you've made it look like this?" The capital is full of rumors, her mother is sick in bed, Mu Zhimo was arrested and locked up, this family, how did you behave! ”
A room full of maids knelt on the ground, all of them hanging their heads and not daring to speak.
Mu Zhixuan was annoyed after the incident with Mu Zhimo in Chaofu last time, the incident back then was always a scar that he couldn't touch, plus he felt sorry for Aunt Shui, so he simply didn't shirk it and took Rou'er to Zhuangzi to live in Zhuangzi for a few days according to his mother's wishes.
But it's only been a few days!
First of all, Zhuangzi inexplicably recruited a thief to disturb Aunt Shui, but after an interrogation, it led to something more surprising to him, and after learning that he killed two people in a fit of rage, he took Aunt Shui back to the city overnight.
Mu's house was in chaos, his mother was sick in bed, and when he saw him, he kept scolding, and the second brother didn't know why he was cold to him, and he felt that the dog under the corridor of the big kitchen was not quite the same as when he left.
"Since the master believes that this is the concubine's negligence and incompetence, he must take back the housekeeper's authority to dispose of the concubine, and the concubine has nothing to say." Liu Yun looked directly at Mu Zhixuan, her expression was unusually indifferent, "But as the saying goes, a gentleman still has to plead a thing or two when he passes through the court, not to mention a woman who is longer than a concubine in a deep house." ”
"Why didn't the master ask the concubine, why was my mother sick in bed? Why was Yan'er so unbearable? ”
"Mu Zhimo is locked up! Why shouldn't she be locked up? Liu Yun stared at her eyes and roared angrily, "If she still has her life alive at this time, Mu Fu will treat her well!" Privately meeting with foreign men, injuring grandmothers, framing sisters, such disrespectful, unfilial, incorruptible and shameless people, can't the concubine still deal with her! ”
"Bastard!"
Liu Yun felt that her face was hot, but it was not painful, but the pitiful dignity that had been naked and scattered in the last few decades of indifferent husband and wife.
"You still don't admit it." Mu Zhixuan didn't bother to distinguish with her anymore, "Come on, bring them all up, and then invite Aunt Shui and the eldest lady to come over!" ”
Outside the house, Mu Zhixuan's personal servant Qinghe responded and ran out, Liu Yun didn't say anything when she saw this, she hung her head and stood sideways, except for a few words just arguing, the whole person returned to the original indifference.
Time passed very slowly in waiting, Mu Yunyan wanted to go out several times but was stopped by Mama Yan, and when she was impatient for the third time, a chaotic footsteps hurriedly sounded outside.
"Master, it's not good, the two people I brought back swallowed the medicine and died!"
"What did you say!" Two exclamations sounded at the same time, and compared to Mu Zhixuan's shock, Liu Yun was indeed panicked at this time.
