Chapter 82: Calling the Shots
Xiao Yuning went to Yulanzhai early.
Although Mrs. Mu's body is better, she is still very weak. She lay on the bed, her face was not pale but sallow.
A few days ago, the four rooms would come to ask for peace, but these days they have even been exempted from asking for peace.
Seeing Xiao Yuning coming, Mrs. Mu's eyes moved slightly, and Aunt Chunping hurriedly bowed.
Xiao Yuning said, "Mother's body is better?" ”
Old Madam Mu said in a hoarse voice: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to die for a while, why is the third daughter-in-law so idle today, come to me." ”
Xiao Yuning motioned for Aunt Chunping to leave, sat on the side of Old Madam Mu's bed, and whispered, "But if Mother continues to stay here, I'm afraid that my body will never get better." ”
Old Madam Mu looked at Xiao Yuning in astonishment and said, "What did you say?" ”
Xiao Yuning sighed and said, "Mother, how long do you want to hide it from us?" ”
Old Madam Mu didn't understand what Xiao Yuning meant, turned her head sideways and didn't look at her, and said, "How do you know?" ”
"I'll ask Imperial Doctor Zhang." Xiao Yuning looked at Old Madam Mu's thin backshit.
Old Madam Mu was a little relieved and said, "This thing seems to be something you can do." ”
In the early years, the old lady didn't like Xiao Yuning's temperament, she was too casual. She has been too restrained over the years, and she can't find fault with her.
What's more, her prejudice against Xiao Yuning back then was more that she wanted the Jiang family to marry Mu Zongze, but now her mentality has changed, and her attitude towards Xiao Yuning has also changed.
Although it is a reproachful word, it has no reproachful tone at all.
Xiao Yuning never imagined that one day she would be able to say this calmly to the old lady.
It's like an ordinary mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Back then, Mrs. Mu obstructed her and Mu Zongze in every way. If it weren't for the last holy decree to give marriage, I'm afraid she wouldn't be so resigned.
The past is like a cloud, which is right and which is wrong. It doesn't matter which is right or wrong.
The important thing is that she is Mu Zongze's mother after all, and she is the grandmother of two children.
Xiao Yuning had some complaint and helplessness in her tone, and said: "But if the daughter-in-law doesn't do this, my mother is afraid that she will never want to say it, maybe one day she will be poisoned, and all of us will be kept in the dark." Nothing is known. ”
Last night, when she heard Mu Zhiling say that Mrs. Mu's illness was caused by poisoning, she couldn't believe it.
When she heard that Old Madam Mu was heavy with two poisons, she was even more dumbfounded.
This Yingguo Mansion is actually someone who wants to harm Mrs. Mu. Who is it that is so vicious and wants to use poisoning methods?
When she calmed down, she couldn't help but think of more.
If someone really wants to harm Mrs. Mu, then Mrs. Mu must not be safe in the Guogong Mansion.
Seeing that Mrs. Mu didn't speak. Xiao Yuning continued: "So my daughter-in-law wants you to go to the Grange on the outskirts of the city to live for a few days. Nourish your body. It just so happened that there were some things to take care of these days, and my daughter-in-law thought that when she passed, she would let you go with her. The air on the other side of the grange is good, which is also helpful for your body to recover. ”
Moreover, it is most important to stay away from the person who poisoned the old lady.
Seeing that Old Madam Mu didn't react, Xiao Yuning asked, "What does Mother want?" ”
For a long time, Old Madam Mu sighed lightly. The tone was strange, and he said, "This family is already your decision." And asked me what I had done. ”
Xiao Yuning was a little puzzled, so she said, "My daughter-in-law came to ask you because she didn't dare to make her own decisions." ”
Old Madam Mu suddenly turned around and said, "In the future, this family will be your master, and whatever you say will be." I'm an old bone, and I want to steal a few days of leisure. ”
Old Madam Mu stretched out her hand and gently patted Xiao Yuning's hand.
After Xiao Yuning came out of Yulanzhai, he began to prepare for the matter of letting Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Mu go to the Grange to live for a few days.
It just so happened that something like this happened to the shell, and Xiao Yuning asked Mu Zhiling to follow.
The Grange matters, she can come back in a day or two.
Although it was said that she wanted Mrs. Mu to stay for a few days, Xiao Yuning wanted to let Mrs. Mu stay in the Grange before the eldest sister Mu Zhilan got married, and by the way, let Mrs. Zhang go with her to give Mrs. Mu a good diagnosis and treatment.
When Mu Zhixuan heard that Mu Zhiling was going to the Grange, she suddenly found Mu Zhiling and cried.
She sobbed, "Fifth sister, can you take me with you too?" I really can't bear you, there are few people in this country to talk to me, if you also leave, then I can ...... But what can I do? ”
Mu Zhixuan cried so miserably, Mu Zhiling had to take out the brocade silk from her arms, gently wipe the corners of her eyes, and said softly: "Sister Xuan, it's not that I'm not coming back, I'm going to stay for a few days and I'll come back." Sister Xuan still has to take care of Erniang, doesn't she? ”
Mu Zhixuan's eyes dimmed instantly, and said: "Okay, I'll wait for you at home, you have to think about your sister every day, if there is anything interesting in the Grange, don't forget to come back and share it with me." ”
Mu Zhiling hurriedly responded.
Mu Zhixuan poked into the house and asked, "Little Wu, where did you go yesterday?" You don't know how terrible it is for your big dog to go crazy, he almost bit someone yesterday. Later, it was said that he was knocked unconscious, but is he better now? ”
Mu Zhiling sighed and said, "It's already better, Sister Lao Xuan is bothered." It's just that I didn't expect the shell to treat Sister Xuan like this, but Sister Xuan cares about it very much. ”
"Sister, I like that big dog very much."
Mu Zhiling thought of what Mu Zhixuan said just now, looked up at Mu Zhixuan's eyes and asked, "Sister Xuan came to Haitang Garden to find me yesterday?" ”
Mu Zhixuan's eyes flickered a little and said, "Yes, yesterday I asked Qiu Ju to go to Haitang Garden to find you." I was too bored to ask you to play chess, but I couldn't see you, but at this time I heard the dog barking in the yard, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be your shell. I saw it scurrying around the yard like crazy, and it was said that it would bite people when it saw them. ”
Mu Zhiling nodded lightly and said, "So that's the case, Sister Xuan, I'm a little tired and want to go back and rest for a while." ”
The corners of Mu Zhixuan's mouth hooked a good-looking arc, and said, "That sister is resting, and my sister will leave first." ”
Mu Zhiling looked at Xiao Yuning's departing back, and a touch of grief crossed her eyes.
Why lie to her.
She asked Mingxiang only yesterday if anyone had been to the Peony Garden in the morning, and Mingxiang swore that she hadn't.
But now Mu Zhixuan said that she would let Qiu Ju come to look for her.
Mingxiang was stunned, besides, she had just entered the house, she didn't understand many things, and she had been in Begonia Garden, she was afraid that she would say whatever she saw.
If what Mingxiang said was true, then Mu Zhixuan lied to her.
The late autumn sun was still scorching, and Mu Zhiling stood in the sun, only feeling hot and restless.
Fallen leaves swirl down and fall to the palm of your hand.
Mu Zhiling raised her head, letting the sunlight hit her face, and something flashed in her mind. (To be continued......)
