Chapter 139: The Fire

The handwriting was clearly ...... Brother Li's!

But if you look closely, it's a little different, and what is the black around it?

A bad premonition rose in my heart, restlessness and panic mixed together......

Mu Zhiling closed her eyes and stopped thinking.

If you really count it, she is in her twenties, and she has experienced two lives, how can she be restless because of such a little thing.

And at this time, in the Peony Garden, Mu Zhishu received a letter, which read: Tonight, Yuzi Hutong, Zheng Li.

Mu Zhishu read the letter repeatedly, then put it on the dresser, looked at herself in the mirror, and frowned.

Is this letter really given to her by Zheng Li? But if not, then who is it, and what is the purpose of this person?

The maid on the side saw Mu Zhishu's solemn expression, and asked worriedly, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

Mu Zhishu rubbed the letter paper, then bounced it open again, tilted her head slightly and squinted at the maid beside her, and said, "It's nothing, you go down first, I'm a little unwell, you don't have to come again for a while." ”

When the maid heard that Mu Zhishu was not in good health, she became anxious and said, "Miss, do you want the slave to call Imperial Doctor Zhang for you?" ”

Mu Zhishu shook her head and said, "It's okay, I just feel a little tired, just rest for a while." Don't disturb me for a while, and if anyone comes, say I'm asleep, you know? ”

The maid didn't think much of it, and nodded obediently.

Mu Zhishu hesitated for a long time in indulgence, hesitating whether she should go or not. If you go, you are very likely to be calculated. After all, Zheng Li is not familiar with her at all, but if she doesn't go, she can't stop her curiosity.

After all, that person was Zheng Li. A few days ago, she heard about the incident between Mu Zhiling and Zheng Li, and she had secretly seen that Zheng Li, who was really handsome. And he is young and promising, and he is the son of King Zheng's mansion, and the most important thing is Mu Zhiling......

Thinking of this, Mu Zhishu's original worries disappeared for the most part, as long as she was more cautious. It should be fine.

At night, Mu Zhishu changed into a maid's clothes, taking advantage of people's inattention. Sneaked out the back door.

When he arrived at Yuzi Hutong, a slender figure stood in the moonlight, and Mu Zhishu looked at it, and the person looked a little like Zheng Li.

Zheng Li turned around. A gentle smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. His eyes were warm, but after seeing the person in front of him, his heart instantly cooled by more than half.

After the two saw each other clearly, they were shocked.

Mu Zhishu's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she was indescribably excited and shocked in her heart, that person was really Li Shizi, he was really waiting for her here.

But what did he do with himself, and why did he stand motionless at a distance?

Just when Mu Zhishu was puzzled. Zheng Li took two steps forward.

Mu Zhishu greeted him and chuckled. said: "Let Li Shizi keep you waiting." ”

The voice is as gentle as water, and it is even more delicate, which makes people feel comfortable and crispy after listening to it.

After Zheng Li heard this, he instantly understood that the letter he received early this morning was not written by Xiao Wu at all, and all the Yiqiē was secretly arranged by someone to trick him into Yuzi Hutong.

And the person who planned this matter is most likely the woman in front of him.

Zheng Li was on guard in his heart, put his hands behind his back, took two steps forward, and said, "Who are you?" ”

The alienated and indifferent voice made Mu Zhishu's heart instantly cool by half, Li Shizi didn't know her?

"Didn't you invite my son to Yuzi Hutong to gather at Yuzi Hutong, Li Shizi? And Li Shizi is also waiting here......"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted, Zheng Li looked around, and then said in a low voice: "We have been calculated. ”

Mu Zhishu was stunned, a little lost in her heart, and even more panicked, she was really calculated?

But when she saw Li Shizi, it was already worth it.

What's more, with Li Shizi here at the moment, he will protect his safety.

Mu Zhishu threw herself into Zheng Li's arms regardless of her reserve, Zhang Huang shrank in front of his chest in a daze, and said: "Who is going to calculate you and me, Li Shizi, you won't leave me, right, I'm really scared, I'm so scared ......" She grabbed the corner of Zheng Li's clothes and sobbed in a low voice: "Don't leave me, don't leave me ......"

Zheng Li pushed her away with all his might, but in the end he also compromised and said, "I'll send you back." ”

The two walked back for a while, and then saw the fire in the direction of Yingguo Mansion, and Mu Zhishu, who originally wanted to enjoy walking with Zheng Li, had to speed up her pace and walk forward.

didn't care about the image, went crazy all the way, and before she returned to Yingguo Mansion, Mu Zhishu actually found that the place where the fire caught fire was her yard.

Although the fire was extinguished at this moment, it was estimated that there were no more things left in her room.

Zheng Li paused, hesitating whether to follow in to see if anyone was injured and if Mu Zhiling was okay......

But when he hesitated, the faint light of the fire illuminated the faces of the two.

Mu Zhishu raised her hand to block the light, but not far away, Mu Zongsheng's angry voice came: "Bastard, where have you been so late!" You're really going to make me angry! ”

Mu Zongsheng rushed over, only to see Mu Zhishu standing alone at the back door, and then raised his hand to slap Mu Zhishu in the face.

Mu Zhishu covered her face with one hand and called timidly: "Father......"

Mu Zongsheng didn't seem to listen, and gave her another slap in the face.

Mu Zhishu secretly looked aside, and found that Zheng Li's figure had disappeared for some time, and she was a little stunned in her heart, but she was also relieved, and lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Mu Zongsheng.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and the fire was not too fierce, so it burned down Mu Zhishu's boudoir, and the other houses in the yard were intact.

After all, this matter is an ugly thing, the so-called family ugliness cannot be publicized, and Mu Zongsheng just took Mu Zhishu to the room and made her kneel for one night. But Rao is like this, the Mu family still knows that Mu Zhishu will not return home at night, and there are even subordinates who secretly spread it in private, saying that the second lady is going to meet a man privately.

What's more, it is said that the person is Li Shizi.

After Qiu Ju came back from outside, Mu Zhixuan got up with a smile. "How's it going?" ”

Qiu Ju lowered her head and said in her ear: "Miss, everything is ready, I have already walked out of the news." Now everyone believes that Mu Zhishu went out to see Li Shizi, and it is estimated that the news has already reached Mrs. Mu at this time. ”

Slender fingers lightly tapped on the tabletop, Mu Zhixuan chuckled and said, "What about the Begonia Garden?" ”

At this moment, the whole house has been spread, and it is impossible for them not to want to know. Qiu Ju stood up straight and said proudly.

"You didn't find out, did you?" Mu Zhixuan still asked a little uneasily.

"Oh, my young lady, you can rest assured. How could Qiu Ju be so stupid. Trust me, no one knows. Qiu Ju walked to Mu Zhixuan's side and pinched her shoulders for her, but Mu Zhixuan asked her to stop.

She stood up. Walking towards the door with light steps, he said, "This time, it's time to comfort and comfort my good sister......

He giggled.

Then walked to the Begonia Garden, and at this moment Mu Zhiling was playing chess alone when she had nothing to do. And Cuiliu couldn't help but say, "Miss." You really have a sense of leisure, you don't know that the whole house is blowing up now. ”

Mu Zhiling didn't even bother to raise her eyes, she only cared about her chess game, her index and middle fingers twisted a white piece, froze in the air, and said casually: "What does this have to do with me?" ”

Although he said this again, his hand froze in the air for a long time and did not fall.

That Mu Zhishu went out in the middle of the night, and then the boudoir was on fire. Is there really such a coincidence?

Someone must have conspired to do this, but who this person really was. Why is Mu Zhishu targeted?

This person can accurately find out where Mu Zhishu's boudoir is, and knows everything about whether Mu Zhishu is in Mu Mansion, the only explanation is that this person must have been dormant in the Ying Guo Mansion last night.

Mu Zhiling couldn't figure out who that person was for a while, but Cuiliu said thoughtlessly: "Miss, you are clean, I'm afraid that Mu Zhishu will not be happy." Don't you know, when I went out early this morning, I heard the maid in the next room discussing in private. said that Miss Mu Er actually went out to meet a man privately, and some people said that they saw Li Shizi at the back door of Mu's house last night, but the slave maid was not sure whether it was true or not. But whether it's true or not, Old Madam Mu is afraid that she won't allow such a thing to happen, so ......"

Bang Bang -

The crisp sound of falling children stopped Cuiliu's gushing, she looked at her young lady with some confusion, and said, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

Mu Zhiling raised her head suddenly, looked at Cuiliu, grabbed her hand, and asked, "What did you just say?" ”

Cuiliu blinked and said, "I said that Miss Mu Er will have a hard time in a while." ”

"No, who did you say she saw last night?" Mu Zhiling's voice was a little hoarse, and her speech was a little choked.

Cuiliu didn't understand why Mu Zhiling suddenly became excited, and said: "The slave maid heard that she went to see Li Shizi, the last time the slave maid saw him, she looked like a disciple, and now sure enough, Miss, he hasn't done anything excessive to you before, right?" ”

Mu Zhiling looked at Cuiliu in a daze, and sighed in her heart.

Is the person Mu Zhishu who went to the private meeting really Brother Li?

His chest was slightly blocked, and even his breathing became cramped.

A touch of Na's figure slowly walked into the room, Mu Zhishu saw Mu Zhiling's lost soul, smiled on her face, and said worriedly: "Fifth sister, what's wrong with you, why is your face so bad?" ”

Although she said this, she was extremely happy in her heart, and this qiē was what she wanted.

Mu Zhiling saw Mu Zhishu coming, stood up, and said, "It's nothing, Sister Xuan, why are you here?" ”

Mu Zhixuan smiled softly and said, "On your birthday last year, my sister was supposed to come to see you, but my sister suddenly felt unwell yesterday, so I came today." Sister, you won't be too late, will you? ”

Mu Zhiling shook her head and said, "My sister has a heart, but it's just a birthday, and it's not important." Sister Xuan, is your body better, you don't care if you come out now, why don't you go back and rest quickly? ”

Mu Zhiling immediately sat down next to Mu Zhiling and said, "It's out of the way." My sister is playing chess here alone, how boring, and she doesn't go out for a walk. ”

Mu Zhiling pursed her lips and smiled, "Sister, have you forgotten, I can't go out in the warm spring." ”

Mu Zhixuan nodded in annoyance and said, "Look at my memory, I have forgotten such an important thing." Oh, sister, it's really boring for you to play chess alone, so my sister can play with you. ”

Mu Zhiling was not easy to refuse, so she let Mu Zhixuan go.

She will be uncomfortable due to pollen, this disease has long been cured, and she didn't have a chance to tell Mu Zhixuan before, but now she tries not to let her know.

It would be nice if only she knew this secret, and if people had more things in other people's hands, it would be more dangerous.

"By the way, sister, do you know that the second sister was locked up in the firewood room by the eldest uncle?" Mu Zhixuan raised her eyes and squinted at Mu Zhiling while grabbing the chess pieces.

Mu Zhiling shook her head slightly and said, "I've been staying in the room, and I don't know." ”

Mu Zhixuan chuckled, her smile was too bright, she covered her mouth, and said, "Didn't there be a fire in her room last day?" Guess what, just as the servant hurriedly rushed into the door, there was no one looking for her. The uncle was originally irritable and even more strict, and when he encountered this kind of thing, he immediately locked Mu Zhishu in the firewood room. ”

Suddenly, she bowed her head mysteriously and said, "Fifth sister, don't you know, I heard that Mu Zhishu went to have a private meeting with her lover, but that lover is also really interesting, it turned out to be Li Shizi of King Zheng's Mansion." But then again, the two of them are right, what's wrong with Mingmei marrying, but if she wants to be sneaky like this, she deserves her uncle to punish her like this, which is really shameless. ”

Mu Zhiling listened carefully, and her breathing became shallower and shallower.

She has always wondered who has such idleness and thoughts to frame Mu Zhishu, and now it seems that it is Mu Zhixuan nine times out of ten.

accurately grasped Mu Zhishu's whereabouts, and then set a fire in her room, so that Mu Zhishu could be easily discovered when she was not in the boudoir in the middle of the night.

In connection with the painting she received yesterday, the erasure of the words in the painting was not done by Zheng Li, but by someone deliberately. In that case, Brother Li was also calculated, but I am afraid that Mu Zhishu is also kept in the dark.

Mu Zhiling raised her head and stared at Mu Zhixuan for a moment, as if she wanted to see her through.

"Fifth sister, what kind of eyes are you, could it be that Mu Zhishu was imprisoned in the firewood room, and you are not happy? I remember that you hate Mu Zhishu very much, and you are the one who wants to harm you in every possible way. ”

Mu Zhiling smiled without a trace, and said, "Sister Xuan, I think it's too cheap to punish Mu Zhishu like this, isn't it true that women who don't abide by women's morals have to be soaked in pig cages since ancient times?" Why is it so simple to just be locked up in a firewood room? ”

Listening to Mu Zhiling's relaxed tone, Mu Zhixuan was stunned, and then said with a smile: "Having said that, how can it be controlled by you and me." ”

Mu Zhiling laughed indifferently and said, "I'm just saying that I don't care what the second sister does with me." Moreover, if the second sister and Li Shizi are in love, it is not impossible to really get married, Sister Xuan, are you right? ”

The surface is calm, but the heart is turbulent. (To be continued......)
