Chapter 211
"Then how did you end up with the third sister?" After some sighing and sighing, Mu Qingge asked Su Mu puzzled.
"Oh, when I went to look for the third prince, the third sister happened to be talking to the third prince, and when I heard that my sister was in danger, I was also worried, so I hurriedly followed." Su Mu sighed at Mu Qingyao's concern, "It's the first time that the slave maid has seen the third sister running on the street regardless of her image.
Mu Qingge frowned, Mu Qingyao's appearance was a little strange today. Especially after Shang Qirui mentioned that he was his fiancΓ©e, Mu Qingyao obviously failed to control his affection. She's angry, angry, unwilling. The last time I gave a gift, Mu Qingge hadn't forgotten about it.
At that time, Mu Qingge and Mu Wenhan analyzed that the person Mu Qingyao liked was one of Shang Qirui, Feng Yuming and Liu Xianning.
Mu Qingge had a blockage in his heart, Shang Qirui was not a person who liked to laugh casually, since he was like that today, he would probably not be able to escape the fate of marrying him. If Mu Qingyao really likes Shang Qirui, then what will happen in the future is really not good. Because of Mu Qingyao's care for the original owner, Mu Qingge didn't want to conflict with her.
After all, Li Zi and the others were from Caokou, and Mu Qingge didn't want to rush them back to the Mu family, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. So I only sent someone to inform Li Huan that Su Mu had returned to Mu's house and would wait to meet them tomorrow.
As soon as he returned to Mu's house, Mu Qingge found that the atmosphere was not right. Everyone in the Mu family who was supposed to be visiting the lantern festival was at home. The old lady had a gloomy face. Her suppressed anger could be felt from afar.
Seeing Mu Qingge coming back, the old lady stood up suddenly, looked at Su Mu, then at Poria, and finally stared at Mu Qingge, and asked two questions in one breath: "How did this girl get hurt?" Isn't she missing? How did it appear again? β
Although the old lady's tone was calm, Mu Qingge still felt a huge pressure, this time was different from every time she was embarrassed by Mu Qingxuan and Mu Qingwu in the past, Mu Qingge was sure. Something must have happened to the Mu family.
Oddly enough. This time, Mu Qingwu and Mu Qingxuan did not come out to take charge of Mu Qingge, which made her heart even more worried.
"When I went to the Lantern Festival, ffff, m.βΌ.co, "mstyle_tt; waiting to be attacked. Poria helped me block the knife. So it was hurt. As for sumac. She also disappeared because of her injuries. Rescued. Now that the injury is healed, he rushed back. Mu Qingge didn't dare to ask more, so he could only answer truthfully.
"You come with me." The old lady was silent for a while, and then said to Mu Qing.
Didn't figure out what was going on. Mu Qingge didn't have a lot of songs, and left with the old lady. You can still hear the relieved voices of everyone behind you. I became more and more confused. What the hell is going on?
The old lady led Mu Qingge. went directly back to his bedroom, which surprised Mu Qingge again.
But when he saw the person lying on the bed, Mu Qingge almost jumped up. The person on the bed was Mother Qin. His face was pale, his eyes were closed, and the room was filled with a faint smell of blood. Obviously, Qin's mother was injured, and it was still a very strict external injury.
Regardless of being polite, Mu Qingge stepped forward to check Qin's mother first, knowing that although she was seriously injured, she was treated in time, so there was no danger to her life for the time being, so she let go of half of her heart.
"Grandmother, what the hell is going on? How could Mother Qin get hurt? Mu Qingge didn't care about speculation anymore, and asked directly.
The old lady looked at Mu Qingge and said in a deep voice, "Don't you know? β
Mu Qingge was stunned for a moment, looking at what the old lady meant, Qin's mother had an accident, but it was her own responsibility? What the hell is going on?
Mu Qingge shook his head seriously and said, "Grandmother should know that I have always respected Mother Qin, and I saw that Mother Qin was in a bad mood today, so I didn't take her to the Lantern Festival." I really don't know what's going on at home. β
"Why did you go to the Lantern Festival?" The old lady narrowed her eyes slightly, but her sharp gaze flashed.
"I ......" Mu Qingge hesitated for a moment and said, "The third prince asked me out." β
The old lady probably didn't expect Mu Qingge to admit it directly, but she was stunned, and said involuntarily: "You are sincere." β
"I don't think there's anything to hide from anyone." Mu Qingge said very frankly.
The frost on the old lady's face melted, and her words brought out anger: "You are an eldest sister in the boudoir, dating a man privately, and you dare to speak confidently to others?" β
"The prince made an appointment, and I really didn't dare not go to the appointment. Besides, although I met with the Third Prince, I didn't do anything unremarkable, and I don't think it's a disgraceful thing. Mu Qingge said calmly.
The old lady threw over a note and said helplessly: "Even if you don't do anything, it's not a good reputation to spread it." β
Mu Qingge saw that the note was the one that Shang Qirui left for him, and his heart moved, hearing that Xue was already unconscious, who got this note out? At the same time, I am also very glad that I was blessed with my soul just now and did not lie, otherwise my image in front of the old lady would be greatly reduced. Now it seems that this hurdle has passed.
"I know it's wrong, and I'll be cautious in the future. It's just that if it weren't for the rescue of the three princes today, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back to the Mu family. I was attacked by someone at the lamp, and Qin's mother was at home, and something happened to her. Grandmother, tonight's events are no coincidence, can you tell me what the hell happened? Mu Qingge thought about it for a moment, and was very sure that it was premeditated tonight.
Seeing that Mu Qingge was really anxious, after experiencing life and death, people were still calm, but the old lady couldn't bear to be harsh. Immediately told me what was happening at home.
Today's Lantern Festival, although the old lady didn't go to the Lantern Festival, she didn't want to rest too early. Thinking about Qin's mother, knowing that she didn't go out, I wanted to take advantage of this time to see her.
Who knew that when they arrived at the Moon Shadow Pavilion, they found it empty. The old lady was very strange, and let people scream, but she heard Qin's mother's cry for help, and then saw the figure of two masked people leaving. The old lady was also frightened. When he arrived with someone, he only saw Qin's mother lying in a pool of blood.
Fortunately, the old lady arrived in time, and the murderer was in a hurry, so Qin's mother was able to pick up a life. The old lady immediately went to invite the imperial doctor in the palace to treat Qin's mother, and stabilized her injuries.
The old lady was furious and asked people to track down the murderer, but she found the note that Shang Qirui gave her from Mu Qingge's room. Mu Qingge and Shang Qirui appeared at the Lantern Festival together, and they were also seen and reached the ears of the old lady. The old lady was angry, and naturally pushed the matter of Qin's mother's injury onto Mu Qingge's body. So. I didn't have a good face when I saw her.
The words opened. The old lady's anger towards Mu Qingge was mostly gone. Thinking about Shang Qirui's attitude towards Mu Qingge, he endured the rest of his anger.
Thinking that Qin's mother's life and death were uncertain, and there was no clue who the murderer was, the old lady was also very troubled. Knowing that Mother Qin told Mu Qingge everything. on this matter. The old lady can only say a few words to Mu Qingge now.
"What do you think. What's going on tonight? The old lady was affected by Mu Qingge's attitude, and temporarily forgot that she was only a thirteen-year-old child. I don't want to ask her what she thinks.
"I feel that those people probably want to divide into two ways, one side to attack Qin's mother, and the other to attack me." Mu Qingge pondered for a moment and said seriously, "And now, the only reason why you want to kill me and Mother Qin at the same time is probably because of that incident." Whoever doesn't want this matter to leak out is suspicious. β
Of course, the old lady knew what "that incident" was, and her face turned pale. That's right, if Mu Ling's life experience is leaked out, it will have a very bad impact on the Mu family. Especially the matter of Mu Ling and Mu Xianyi, it may cause the Mu family to suffer a heavy blow. Therefore, judging from the reputation of the Mu family, in fact, the old lady can't help but admit it, and she also had such thoughts in her heart. Therefore, Mu Qingge can be regarded as having fallen into her heart. But she knew very well that tonight's events were not instructed by her.
"Then you, who is suspicious?" The old lady asked Mu Qingge directly.
"Now it seems that there is not enough evidence for the suspects. But I think if he really wants to kill me and Qin's mother. I won't stop there, so as long as I wait, I won't worry about not being able to catch him. Mu Qingge did think in his heart that this matter might have been instructed by the old lady or Mu Qi, but looking at the old lady's appearance, it seemed that he didn't know.
If the old lady and Mu Qi are excluded, it is naturally Mu Xianyi and Mu Ling who are the most suspicious. So Mu Qingge didn't say it too clearly, after all, the old lady's authority in the Mu family was still unchallengeable, and she had to leave room for each other.
The old lady had too many things on her mind. There was no too much embarrassment for Mu Qingge. In the end, Mu Qingge was asked to take Qin's mother back to take care of her.
Look at it, it's only the fifteenth day of the first month. There were two more seriously injured and sick people in the courtyard, and Mu Qingge couldn't help but wonder if he was really unlucky.
"Sister, you are also tired and frightened today. Go and rest. It's good for the slave to come and keep it. "Su Mu settled Poria well. came over and watched Mu Qingge stay by Qin's mother's bed in a daze, and hurriedly persuaded softly.
It's good to have Su Mu here, and you don't have to worry about things in the yard.
"Sit down. Help me analyze the analysis. Mu Qingge asked Su Mu to sit down, and told him about the recent events, as well as the things about Mother Qin and Mu Lingmu Xianyi, and wanted to hear Su Mu's opinion.
I have always known that Su Mu is a smart woman and has her own unique opinions. In addition, Su Mu has not been in the Mu family for a while, and from the perspective of a bystander, he can often hit the nail on the head.
Seeing that he had been away for so long, Mu Qingge still trusted himself so much, and he didn't have any reservations about such an important matter, and Su Mu's eyes turned red with emotion. I also analyzed the course of the matter more carefully.
"Sister, there is a place where the slave maid thinks it is very strange. If the masked man at night wanted her sister's life, then she should have done it directly after she used a fake slave to deceive her sister. However, according to my sister, the masked man never meant to do anything, and it felt more like he was delaying time. It wasn't until the last sister had to leave that the masked man had the intention of killing. Su Mu listened to Mu Qingge's narration, but did not put forward his opinion on Qin's mother's matter, but instead reminded Mu Qingge that there was something wrong with the masked man's approach.
Mu Qingge was stunned for a moment, and also remembered the special masked man.
"You're like that, I can remember some details." The corners of Mu Qingge's mouth raised slightly, "It's not strange that the masked man knows that I am the fifteenth sister of the Mu family, but when he says to me, he reveals involuntary respect between the lines." Moreover, he kept his face covered, and his voice was deliberately lowered. In this way, he not only knows me, but also is anxious to be a member of the Mu family. β
"Huh?" Listening to Mu Qingge's assertion, Su Mu was taken aback, and then relieved, "Sister's guess is very reasonable. If the masked man is from the Mu family, then the master behind him is naturally also from the Mu family. The old lady saw the murderer of Qin's mother fleeing to the outer courtyard. However, the family members searched for so long but found nothing, which means that either the murderer is also from the Mu family, or the Mu family has his internal response. β
"It is also possible that the murderer belongs to the Mu family, and the Mu family also has his internal responses, so he can disappear so cleanly." Mu Qingge felt that he was about to catch the truth of the matter, but he always felt that something was missing.
If the murderer is from the Mu family and the old lady doesn't know, then it can only be Mu Xianyi or Mu Qi.
"Su Mu, tomorrow you go to see Li Zi and them, tell them to stay in the capital for a few more days, and I will invite them to dinner when I am free." Mu Qingge suddenly changed the topic, and after Su Mu's blank expression, he said, "By the way, release the news that Mother Qin is seriously injured and has died." β
"Seriously injured?" Su Mu was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Sister wants Mrs. Hou to get this news?" β
Mrs. Hou is Mu Ling, and her husband's surname is Hou. Mu Qinggetou, she has to confirm whether Mu Ling knows or not. This is also for the good of Mother Qin, if it is really the hand of Mu Ling, Mother Qin is afraid that she will really die. Mu Qingge wanted to find out, and she also hoped that Mu Ling didn't know.
Su Mu also figured it out, so he naturally agreed.
The next day, after the old lady's deliberate suppression, the matter on the night of the Lantern Festival was suppressed. At least, on the bright side, no one dares to talk about it. Mu Qingge asked Su Mu to prepare some gifts to give to Li Huan and them. She herself went to see Mu Qi alone.
Except for Mu Wenhan, Mu Qi usually rarely sees Mu Qingge and their generation. I was a little surprised to hear Mu Qingge come to find me, but I still saw her.
"Greetings to grandfather." Mu Qingge was a little surprised when he saw Mu Qi's simple study. This was the first time she had entered Mu Qi's study, and she originally thought it should be low-key and luxurious, but she didn't expect it to be so simple.
"Alright, get up." Mu Qi was not in the mood to greet him, "You came to me, what's the matter?" (To be continued...... οΌ
