Chapter Eighty-Four: The Outskirts of the City

Seeing that Mu Zhiling bent over and did not sit down, Xiao Yuning pulled her into her arms.

"Ling'er, what are you thinking?" Xiao Yuning's eyes fell on Mu Zhiling's face, and she couldn't help but be much gentler, and she was like the third lady of Mu Mansion who was full of thorns just now.

Mu Zhiling shook her head.

At this moment, she was also in a state of confusion.

When she saw Xiao Ruoxi, she was not half different from the appearance she saw in her previous life.

The same weak can't help the wind, and the same glutinous and soft children.

Five years ago, her bottle of medicine was useless at all?

Mu Zhiling sighed lightly, but heard Xiao Yuning say: "Ling'er, I'll go to Zhuangzi in a while, just go there and rest for a few days, don't think about anything." I remember that when my mother was a child, she liked the environment in the suburbs the most, where the air was fresh, there was no hustle and bustle of the city, and there were no high-rise buildings, and there was no worry at all. ”

Mu Zhiling wanted to ask what the city was, but Xiao Yuning sighed heavily.

She held Xiao Yuning's hand and asked, "Mother, are you homesick?" ”

A touch of pain flashed in Xiao Yuning's eyes, and he shook his head and said, "What do you want, what if you don't want to." There are times when people can't help themselves. ”

Mu Zhiling lowered her head and said, "Have you ever thought about going back?" ”

Xiao Yuning hugged her tighter, pillowed her chin on Mu Zhiling's shoulder, and said in a dumb voice, "I want to ...... Think day and night. But after having your father and you, I ...... I didn't want to think about it anymore. ”

Mu Zhiling's heart suddenly felt a little painful, and said, "Ling'er will always be by her mother's side." ”

"Silly boy, you are going to get married after all, how can you stay with your mother forever?" Xiao Yuning chuckled, stroked Mu Zhiling's sad hand and couldn't help but tremble.

Mu Zhiling closed her eyes tightly and shook her head violently. said: "Ling'er doesn't marry, Ling'er will always accompany her mother." ”

After living a lifetime, she no longer thought about living for herself, let alone who she wanted to marry, she just wanted to stay by her father and brother forever.

Xiao Yuning patted her on the back and sighed heavily.

Ling'er sued her for everything, but she didn't tell her about her own ending in her previous life. Who the hell is she married to. What the man did to her? She was not happy, she kept silent and didn't mention it at all.

The more she didn't say that. Xiao Yuning could sense her past life, but she was not doing well......

Thinking that Ling'er will be twelve years old next year, this family matter is imminent.

The Great Jin Dynasty is not comparable to the place where she lived when she was a child, let alone twelve. is eighteen years old, and it can be regarded as 'early love'. She also wanted to keep her for a few more years. But she had no choice but to follow the customs.

But at least find a reliable husband for her first.

After a while, several carriages stopped in Pinggu.

Pinggu, as the name suggests. It is an endless rice field.

Before the carriage stopped, Cuiliu hummed a little song happily outside the curtain, and opened the curtain from time to time. Let Mu Zhiling look at the scenery outside the window.

It was close to dusk, and the setting sun was shining with golden light. Shine on the golden rice in the field. The vast expanse of rice paddies stretches all the way to the sky, creating a scene where water meets sky.

By the time the carriage stopped, there were already people waiting on both sides of the road.

In addition to some of the subordinates of the Mu family, there were some simple farmers and women, and even children a few years old, who were also waiting.

Xiao Yuning personally took the old lady off the carriage.

When the old lady saw this qiē, she actually had a feeling that her eyes were bright, and when she saw those local villagers, she nodded again and again. It's a little bit gone, and it's not the way it looks on weekdays.

After that, he entered a large mansion.

Although this mansion is not as luxurious as the Mu family's mansion, it is much larger and more spacious.

The house had also been cleaned up a long time ago, and Mrs. Mu looked at the simple courtyard, and there was something in every place that made her unable to take her eyes off.

Xiao Yuning said softly: "Mother, this place is more suitable for you to cultivate your body, if you like it, you can stay for a few more days." There are still many days before Sister Lan gets married. ”

Old Madam Mu nodded again and again, and said, "Okay, well, I will listen to you and listen to you." ”

She grinned and entered the room.

It can be seen that Mrs. Mu is in a really good mood.

Before coming to the Grange, she was still a little reluctant, but when she saw this qiē, people's mood naturally changed.

After dinner, Xiao Yuning had to deal with some things in the Grange, and Mu Zhiling was pulled by Cuiliu and walked around the side path.

When it was completely dark, Mu Zhiling returned to the room.

Xiao Yuning was also busy here, and after taking a shower, he returned to the room.

Mu Zhiling hurriedly pulled her sleeve and said, "Mother, do you remember the maid Cuizhu beside Mu Zhishu five years ago?" ”

Xiao Yuning nodded, but said in confusion: "What did you suddenly ask her about?" ”

Mu Zhiling sat down and said in a condensed voice: "Five years ago, my daughter entered the Peony Garden, and then Cuizhu disappeared. ”

Xiao Yuning suddenly understood.

Fingertips caressed Mu Zhiling's cheek, brushed the broken hair on her forehead, and asked again, "Cuiliu is really not mistaken?" ”

Mu Zhiling responded.

"Ling'er, you are so resting, there is a mother here."

Five years ago, if it weren't for Cuizhu, how could Ling'er run to the Peony Garden for no reason. And Cuizhu is a maid, what does she know? If she didn't mean to, how could she flee in a hurry after the incident at the east window?

Cuizhu must have been instructed by someone, and only by finding Cuizhu can you know who is behind it.

Since she knew that Ling'er's injury was related to Cuizhu, she sent someone to look for Cuizhu. But after searching for so many years, it was fruitless.

The world is so big, how easy is it to find someone? Now that I heard that Cuizhu is in Luoxi Town next door, it is relatively easy to find.

She said that she would not spare anyone who hurt her children.

Even the people of the Mu family are like this, how can they talk about just a maid?

After Mu Zhiling lay down, Xiao Yuning tucked the quilt for Mu Zhiling, Mu Zhiling took her hand and said, "Where is my mother going?" ”

Xiao Yuning said softly: "My mother thinks that there are still some things that have not been dealt with......

Before the words fell, I heard Mu Zhiling say: "Mother, ...... cold"

Xiao Yuning had no choice but to lift the quilt and hold Mu Zhiling in her arms, and couldn't help but sigh in her mouth: "On such a hot day, are you still cold?" ”

The movements of the hands are very gentle.

Mu Zhiling nestled in Xiao Yuning's arms with satisfaction, and muttered: "Ling'er is afraid of her mother's coldness. ”

In the suburbs of late autumn and September, the sound of frogs is loud, but the hustle and bustle reveals a quiet and indifferent. Outside the window, the moon jumped on the branches, and a ghostly light fell through the wooden window.

Shining on people's bodies, it seems to be a cold light, but it makes people's hearts soft and warm.

So much so that the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. (To be continued) R655
