Old Madam Mu saw the forbearance in Mu Zhiling's eyes, frowned unhappily, and said, "What did you hear about Peony Garden?" Who did you listen to? It doesn't hurt to say so. ”

Mu Zhiling suddenly knelt on the ground, trembling her lips and said: "Please also ask grandmother to punish, this is not about the second sister, nor is it about Cuizhu, it is Ling'er's fault, it is Ling'er who saw Cuizhu coming out of the Peony Garden, and a large bag of bulging things in her arms, Ling'er forcibly stopped Cuizhu, and Cuizhu said that the Peony Garden was not allowed to let people in, because there was a treasure hidden in it, and said that the second sister was also in the Peony Garden. Ling'er couldn't help but be curious, so she went in with the maid. It was Ling'er who didn't listen to her mother's words, and asked her grandfather and grandmother to punish her. ”

Old Madam Mu glanced at Mu Zhiling, sighed lightly and said, "Get up." ”

Although Mu Zhiling's words put all the responsibility on herself, reasonable people can hear that Mu Zhiling is not at fault in this matter.

Xiao Yuning hugged Mu Zhiling in her arms, looked up at Mu Zhishu, and when she wanted to say something, Mu Zhiling suddenly hugged Xiao Yuning's head and rubbed vigorously in her arms.

Old Madam Mu glanced sideways at Mu Zhishu and said coldly, "Where is Cuizhu?" ”

Cuizhu is Mu Zhishu's personal maid.

Mu Zhishu is the second sister of Yingguo Mansion, nine years old this year, dignified and delicate, with white skin like clotted fat, and she looks pitiful. When Mu Zhishu was three years old, her father, who was also the uncle Mu Zongsheng, went to Zhenzhou to serve as the pastor of Zhenzhou six years ago. Originally, the family moved to Zhenzhou, but Mrs. Mu said that Sister Shu was still young and couldn't stand the bumps along the way, and Mrs. Mu liked Mu Zhishu to be clever when she was a child, so she kept Mu Zhishu by her side to raise her personally.

Ben Mu Zhiling nestled in Xiao Yuning's arms, but the hand hidden in the cuff was clenched tightly, and her nails almost sank into the delicate flesh. Rao didn't see Mu Zhishu's innocent appearance, and she could completely guess it. In her previous life, she was like this, pretending to be kinder than anyone else in front of people, but she was more vicious than anyone else.

If it weren't for her, maybe she wouldn't be like this now......

This time, she vows to gradually make everyone realize her true face under the mask of hypocrisy.

Cuizhu did sneakily come out of the Peony Garden this morning, she didn't see what she was holding in her hand, and Cuizhu didn't see Mu Zhiling standing in the distance at all. Not to mention the previous words to her, they were fabricated by Mu Zhiling. But now, even if you call Cuizhu to confront her, presumably Cuizhu doesn't dare to say anything, Cuizhu has always been a greedy and timid person.

What's more, Cuizhu must have done something shady, and he must be too scared to appear at this moment. She didn't see Cuizhu from the moment she entered the door, which is the best proof.

Even if it wasn't Mu Zhishu who did it, she Mu Zhiling had to make everyone believe that she did it, so that Mu Zhishu could also taste the taste of being wronged and carrying the black pot for others.

Looking at Mu Zhishu again, I saw that her face was frightened, and her face turned gray in an instant, and she hurriedly knelt on the ground. His hands fell to the ground, and he said in a trembling voice: "Back to grandmother, Cuizhu disappeared early this morning, and my grandson wanted to tell you, but I never had a chance." Grandmother, what the fifth sister said, the grandson couldn't understand a word, the grandson had never called Cuizhu to say such a thing. ”

The corners of Mu Zhiling's mouth hooked without a trace, and it was really time to disappear.

She broke free from Xiao Yuning's embrace, walked towards Mu Zhishu, blinked her big innocent eyes, wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes, stared at Mu Zhishu and said, "Second sister, why didn't I find you when I went to the Peony Garden?" Is the second sister playing hide and seek with Ling'er? ”

Old Madam Mu glanced at Mu Zhiling, and then at Xiao Yuning, with a complicated expression.

She originally suspected that Xiao Yuning was doing the trick on this matter, but when she saw Mu Zhiling looking at Mu Zhishu with blank eyes, she inadvertently revealed her grievances, how could a child pretend to be this?

What's more, now the green bamboo happens to be missing......

Old Madam Mu's face was cold, and her eyes looking at Mu Zhishu were not as soft as before, no matter whether this matter was related to Mu Zhishu or not, today's trouble had already disturbed Old Madam Mu's interest.

She didn't want to continue to spend on this matter, and the third child had just come back, so something like this happened, even if there were many puzzling points, she could only attribute this matter to Mu Zhishu.

Old Madam Mu said in a deep voice to Mu Zhishu: "Look at the moth incident you provoked, I will punish you to go to the ancestral hall to reflect for one night." ”

Mu Zhishu looked up at Mrs. Mu aggrievedly, tears accumulated in her eyes, shining like stars, Mrs. Mu's heart was a little soft, but her face was still cold.

Seeing that Mu Zhishu was still stunned in place, Old Madam Mu's face stiffened, and she still said in a deep voice: "Don't go yet!" ”

Mu Zhishu was so frightened that she staggered to her feet and didn't dare to say more.

Seeing this, Mu Zhiling broke free from Xiao Yuning's arms, looked at Mu Zhishu, and muttered: "Second sister didn't do anything wrong, grandmother, why did you punish second sister to go to the ancestral hall......"

Mu Zhiling knew that as shrewd as Mrs. Mu was, she was definitely reluctant to believe that this matter had something to do with Mu Zhishu. What's more, Mu Zhishu grew up by her side, and she taught her every day, wouldn't Mu Zhishu slap herself in the face if she did such a thing?

But she is in the way of face, if she doesn't punish Mu Zhishu today, I'm afraid that some people will tell right and wrong in private, saying that she has a bowl of water that is uneven.

And Mu Zongze's face was not very good-looking, as soon as he returned home, he encountered such a bad thing, and he only felt cold in his heart.

Old Man Mu sat on the head, his eyes were wide, he wanted to say something but couldn't speak, everyone saw it, and they didn't dare to speak, and the atmosphere was very strange for a while.

At this time, standing behind Jiang's family, Mu Suwan, who was only three years old and was held by the nurse, cried, "Eat...... Eat...... Hungry...... Wow......"

Mu Su spoke late, he could only speak at the age of three, and he couldn't speak a whole sentence at this time. However, a few words were enough to ease the atmosphere, and Mrs. Mu said, "Let's eat, it's going to be cold for a while." ”

Everyone is sitting at this time, and there are few men in the Mu family, so there is no distinction between men and women sitting at this time.

Mu Zhiling sat next to Xiao Yuning, staring at the plate of mare's milk cake, and suddenly she turned her head to Xiao Yuning and said, "Mother, is that the mare's milk cake you made?" ”

Xiao Yuning looked at the plate of mare's milk cake and shook her head thoughtfully.

Mu Zhiling looked at Xiao Yuning with wide eyes, "Mother, didn't you make a lot of pastries this morning?" Mother, you make so many pastries, but now you don't make what you eat, it's a waste! ”

Old Madam Mu's expression was a little unnatural, she glanced at Mu Zongze, put down the chopsticks she was about to pick up, and said to Aunt Mei Xiang on the side: "You go and get some pastries made by the third lady, if you leave it for a long time, you can't eat it." ”

After Mei Xiang took the pastry, Mu Zhiling picked up one of the mare's milk cakes, walked up to Mrs. Mu, and pulled Mrs. Mu's sleeve vigorously, "Grandmother, my mother said that good things should be given to the elders first." Grandmother, try it, it's delicious. ”

Old Madam Mu looked down and saw Mu Zhiling's earnest look, and was stunned for a long time, and finally took the pastry and put it in the bowl.

Mu Zhiling ignored everyone's expressions before they reacted, returned to her position, and chewed slowly on her own.

Daddy likes to eat mare's milk cakes, she knows it, but the old lady likes mare's milk cakes, but very few people know. In her previous life, Mrs. Mu's mean and taïve appearance was deeply engraved in Mu Zhiling's mind. She rarely speaks, and few people know her preferences, and Mu Zhiling wouldn't know if she hadn't lived two lives.

Mu Zhiling peeked at Old Madam Mu, and saw that the stiffness on her face had eased a lot, and the corners of her mouth seemed to be hooked.

In her previous life, it was because of her deference that she caused a lot of unhappiness to the old lady and her mother, so that in the end, my father became more and more difficult in it.

So in this life, she must not make such a mistake, she must slowly change the image of her and her mother in the heart of Mrs. Mu.
