Chapter 43: Return

Mu Ying strode into the deserted courtyard, where Mu Xuan was copying scriptures in the meditation room. Mu Ying was also inconvenient to disturb, so she called Pingkang aside and commanded in a low voice: "I'll let you go on an errand, okay?" ”

Ping Kang smiled respectfully: "The third master just commands." ”

Mu Ying explained the matter, and Pingkang understood, and said with a smile: "It's easy to find someone, but it's hard to say." What's more, there are many people today, so I'm afraid that Miss Qi is timid and has never seen the world, and it will be a big bad thing if someone abducts her. But if you are squeezed apart, you will be scared and cry if you get lost. ”

Mu Ying smiled and nodded, "Go and help find it." I have two more people there, and you can also call them, one more person has more strength. ”

Pingkang was busy running errands, and Mu Ying went to the house to the west.

The county lord of Duanhui was gossiping with the Chen family, and the maid came over and said, "The county lord is the mother, the third master asks to see you." ”

Duan Hui didn't have much contact with these half-brothers and sisters, but Mu Ying and Mu Xuan were quite good friends, so she had to say a few words of condolence, nodded and said, "Let him come in." ”

Soon, Mu Ying walked in and respectfully saluted the Lord of Duanhui.

Lord Duanhui nodded and said with a smile: "You are also here to join in the fun today?" ”

Mu Ying smiled and said: "I am the most lively person, and I just learned that the eldest sister of the county lord is here, so I came to say hello to you." ”

The lord of Duanhui County bowed his head and said, "How is your family?" ”

"It's all good, but I'm just thinking about the eldest sister of the county lord."

Duan Hui smiled slightly, but it was just a sentence on the scene.

Lord Duanhui said again: "Come to the villa to play when you have nothing to do." ”

"Yes, yes. I've wanted to go to Qixia for a long time. When Mu Ying said this, she was like a childish child, with a bright smile on her face, as bright as the spring breeze in February.

Lord Duanhui looked at his smile for a moment, and couldn't help but think of her brother's expressionless face that had not changed for thousands of years, sighed slightly in his heart, and then casually asked Mu Ying a few words about the current situation.

There was a mother-in-law outside who said: "County lord, the old lady of the Qi family has asked you to say goodbye." ”

Duan Hui was stunned for a moment, thinking that his mother's family and the Qi family were also good in the past, and they had a lot of contacts. When she got married, the old lady of the Qi family also came to add a box.

"Invite her old man to come and sit down."

And the outsiders went to spread the word.

Mu Ying said secretly, the young lady of the Qi family is gone, and the old lady is breathless. I don't know if the young lady of the Qi family has found it.

The eldest sister wanted to entertain guests, and it was inconvenient for him to stay here alone, so he bowed to the county lord and withdrew.

Mu Ying was still thinking about helping Rong Zheng find her cousin, and quietly entrusted two little novices.

Rong Zheng accompanied the anxious old lady Lu into the small courtyard of Mu Xuanqingxiu again, and couldn't help but think of the person he saw at dusk that day. She glanced to the house to the east, but saw that the door was closed.

When the news arrived, Mrs. Lu entered the house.

The county lord of Duanhui bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Old man, I haven't seen you for a long time, and your health is still so good." ”

Mrs. Lu said: "There is a note of the lady of Lao County. The old man heard that the county lord's mother had settled here, so he came to say hello. ”

Duan Hui smiled slightly, and Dan Tang in front of him led another maid to wait for Mrs. Lu to serve tea.

Duan Hui looked at the sisters of the Qi family one by one, and finally his eyes fell on Rong Zheng, feeling that this girl was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

Duan Hui's eyes moved from Rong Zheng's body to Yun Xian's body, and he felt that following this girl's gestures revealed a gentle and dignified attitude, and her appearance was also elegant and delicate. If my brother is lucky enough to marry such a girl, it will also be his happiness. immediately excluded the girls of the Gu family in his heart.

Duan Hui instructed Dan Tang in front of him, "Take out my box." ”

Tandar promised to rush to get something.

Old Madam Lu accompanied the Duanhui County Lord to speak, but the Qi family was all absent-minded, worried about whether something would happen to Yunxia. Soon, Dan Tang came and presented a flat, wide red lacquer carved box. Duan Hui took the box and sent it to Mrs. Lu, saying, "Here are a few silk flowers with yarn, let's wear them for my sisters." ”

Mrs. Lu thanked the young ladies for the tea, and after drinking less than half a cup of tea, Mrs. Lu had no intention of continuing to stay, so she was about to leave, just when Mrs. Lu's grandmother came over and whispered a few words to Mrs. Lu. Old Madam Lu nodded, her expression relaxed, and said, "Let her stay well, and I'll ask her again when I go back." ”

The voice was not loud, but because Rong Zheng was close, she heard it clearly, and the third cousin of Xindao found it? Seeing Yun Xian nodding at her slightly, the big stone hanging in her heart fell to the ground in an instant.

Old Madam Lu sat for a while, then got up and said goodbye to the lord of Duanhui, Duanhui didn't force him to stay, only smiled and said: "Old lady take good care of your body, since you are good, you should move around more." ”

Old Madam Lu smiled and agreed.

Here, Mrs. Ren and Rong Zheng helped Mrs. Lu to retreat. As soon as she got out of the house, Mrs. Lu softly reprimanded the third wife: "You are her biological mother, why don't you look good?" What if something happens? ”

Mrs. Ren San said: "It's all daughter-in-law who is not good, and I didn't look at her." But when she finally came back, the old lady could punish her however she wanted. ”

Old Madam Lu snorted lightly, and when she was about to walk out of the courtyard, Rong Zheng saw Mu Xuan walking in from outside the door, followed by Mu Xuan. saw Mu Xuan wearing a light brown straight jacket, and her face was as pale as water.

As if she didn't see them, Mu Xuan went straight to her house, but Mu Xuan nodded slightly to Rong Zheng, showing a shallow smile of relief.

Back in the wing room, Yun Xia was already standing in the room, her face full of anxiety. The two maids and the nurse in front of them knelt down.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lu was angry.

After sitting down, Yun Xia took the initiative to explain to her grandmother: "It's not good for the old lady to be a granddaughter, and she runs around and worries you." ”

"You know your mother and I are going to worry about it." Old Madam Lu was slightly stunned.

"My granddaughter doesn't dare anymore." As he spoke, he went to kowtow.

Mrs. Ren San was angry and anxious, and now when she saw that her daughter came back unscathed, she couldn't stop crying, and when she came up, she scolded: "How can you run around this child, but you really want to kill people in a hurry." ”

Yun Xia didn't dare to say that she didn't like to listen to lectures, so she took a walk casually, and heard that there was a bustle in front of her, and she wanted to go and see what was going on, but she was squeezed away by the crowd. If she hadn't seen a little novice coming to her, she wouldn't have known how to go.

Old Madam Lu didn't want to bother more, and said coldly: "If you go back, you can stay in your Liuxiangju, and you are not allowed to go anywhere." ”

In other words, Yunxia was grounded.

Everyone was not surprised, even Yunxia herself accepted this punishment peacefully.

Old Madam Lu glanced at the maids and nurses kneeling on the ground, and said, "The maids are not satisfied, they are all driven out." Pick two more to make up. ”

Yun Xia panicked now, and hurriedly pleaded: "Old lady, please be merciful, Jian Qiu and Yutong have been with me since childhood." This time it's my fault, and it has nothing to do with them. ”

Jian Qiu and Yutong heard the young lady intercede for them, and they glanced at Yunxia one after another.

However, Old Madam Lu knew that if she didn't come out with a gesture in this matter, she was afraid that Yunxia would do it again in the future, so she was determined and insisted on disposing of the two maids. The nurse was fined three months for a month before the matter was settled.
