That Zhen Mu only stayed for two or three days and left.

This time, dozens of dowry gifts.

The Zhen family is worthy of being a merchant giant in Zhenzhou, and dozens of boxes are full of valuable antique treasures.

In this way, the wedding date of the eldest sister Mu Zhilan can be regarded as set.

The wedding date is set for two months later.

Gao invited Kyoto's top embroiderers and tailors to Mu's house to tailor the phoenix crown for Mu Zhilan.

At the same time, it was also rumored that the second lady of the long house was imprisoned for half a month.

It is said that it was Miss Mu Er who broke the dowry of the eldest sister Mu Zhilan.

The maids whispered in private.

The two third-class maids who were washing clothes were muttering as they walked, and one of them said, "You said that the eldest master is too unfair to the second lady." Isn't it just a broken jade bottle, and you don't need to be so angry, you are grounded for a month. Obviously, the eldest lady is a happy thing to get married. ”

When the other person heard this, he squeezed his eyebrows and said, "What do you know, the second lady grew up with Mrs. Mu since she was a child, and later made a mistake. The eldest lady grew up beside the eldest lord since she was a child, and she is gentle and virtuous, and she is deeply liked by the uncle. If I were a big man, I would prefer a big lady. ”

"You don't have to be punished so severely, do you? I heard that it was actually the second lady who offended someone when she entered the palace last time, and the eldest master found out, so he was furious. Anyway, I don't believe that the uncle would be so cruel to the second miss for no reason...... Hey, why don't you speak, what's your expression? ”

The maid across from her was staring behind her dumbfounded, and she finally felt that something was wrong. Turning his head, he saw a tall young man standing behind him, a gentle smile on his lips. A pair of good-looking peach blossom eyes squinted slightly.

Only then did the two maids react, hurriedly saluted, and said, "See the eldest young master." ”

Mu Yao bent down, whispered in the ear of one of the maids, and asked, "What were you talking about just now, talking so energetically." ”

The two maids looked at each other and stepped back. He denied it: "Slave maid...... The slave said nothing. ”

Mu Yao stood up straight, a little disappointed: "I thought there was something interesting, it was boring for me to be trapped in this Mu Mansion all day long." ”

The two maids fled in panic.

Although the eldest young master looked good. But they talk about his family affairs, which is always bad.

Mu Yao looked at the two who left, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and his smile became more and more evil.

In the middle of the night. Mu Zhishu was sulking in the room. The sound of unlocking was heard outside the door.

Mu Zhishu was in a good mood when she heard this, isn't her father going to let her out?

Except for the father who holds the key, only the mother-in-law who delivers the food can open the door.

The mother-in-law who can deliver food has just left.

The food hasn't cooled yet.

The door opened, and Mu Zhishu looked at the door happily.

But it was not Mu Zongsheng who pushed the door in, but Mu Yao.

"Brother? What are you doing here? Mu Zhishu looked at Mu Yao with some loss and some surprise.

Mu Yao smiled a little arrogantly and said, "Brother, I decided to be a good person this time." ”

Mu Zhishu didn't understand his words, and when she saw him with his hands behind his back, she looked strange and said, "What's the strange thing in my brother?" ”

Mu Yao raised his eyebrows. Said: "The second sister is really smart, and what the eldest brother brought to you today is absolutely unique." No, it's something you can't even think of. ”

Mu Zhishu lowered her eyes and said: "It's some scare again, I'm not interested today, big brother, you better look for someone else." ”

After saying that, he lifted the curtain and walked to the inner room with his head drooped.

Mu Yao grabbed the corner of her clothes and said, "Hey, sister, you still have to watch this time, how can you know how much your eldest brother loves you if you don't look at it?" ”

He pulled Mu Zhishu's sleeve and sat down, then put the two brocade boxes on the lacquered wood table, and smiled mysteriously.

Mu Zhishu didn't turn her head and closed her eyes tightly.

Mu Yu turned her head over and said, "What are you hiding, and it's not scary." ”

Mu Zhishu didn't dare to turn around at all, and said with a pout: "It's strange, brother, when did you bring something that isn't disgusting?" ”

Mu Yao forcibly pulled her hand away and opened the box at the same time.

Mu Zhishu almost lost her voice and screamed.

She suddenly got up, took a few steps back, covered her mouth with one hand, pointed to the bloody thing in the box with the other, and exclaimed, "Brother, what is this?" ”

Mu Yao stared at the dark red object in the candlelight, and said, "This is a human tongue. ”

Mu Zhishu came closer, and said in shock: "Brother, ...... you"

"Today, I heard two more maids chewing on the base of your tongue, so I cut off their tongues." Mu Yao said that the clouds were light and light.

"And what happened to those two maids?"

Mu Zhishu held her breath and asked.

"Killed." Mu Yao didn't blink his eyes when he spoke.

Mu Zhishu sighed lightly and said, "Brother, what if this matter is discovered?" Moreover, it is unlucky for such a thing to happen on the eve of the eldest sister's marriage. ”

Mu Yao didn't think so, and said: "She is a stunned young man, she is very boring all day long, what do you do to me if she is unlucky?" ”

Mu Zhishu sighed and said, "But brother, after all, she and we are the same mother." ”

Mu Yao's eyes suddenly became gloomy, and he said, "A mother's compatriot? Heh......"

Mu Zhishu couldn't understand Mu Yao's tone, and just wanted to say something, but heard Mu Yao say: "Ten years ago, my sister was the only one with you. ”

After speaking, he brushed his sleeves and walked away.

Liumu Zhishu almost spit out the two disgusting brocade boxes.

The eldest brother treats her very well and is a very good person, but the only thing that makes her unacceptable is the eldest brother's illness.

Everyone thinks Mu Yao is good.

But she knew that her eldest brother was sick, and very sick......

Mu Yao rushed out of the Mu Mansion and ran all the way, laughing and running out.

He stretched out his hands and laughed like a madman, then stopped, staggering to the ruined temple to the east of the city. The silvery moonlight sprinkled on the blue-tiled mahogany lacquered pillars, adding a touch of eerie color.

Laughter echoed in the empty night. He leaned against the wooden pillar, looked sideways at the two female corpses on the pile of weeds in the temple, and smiled stupidly: "Blood...... Blood ......"

"Hahahaha......"

It was like going back to that night. He knelt in front of the pool of solidified dark red blood, and wept silently.

Then a black shadow fell from the roof, the expression on Mu Yao's face disappeared in an instant, he clenched his fists, jumped forward, and followed.

But the man in black stopped suddenly.

He covered his face, the night was thick, and Mu Yao didn't recognize who it was at all.

Mu Yao flew up. Trying to kill someone, the black shadow retreated sharply, and then stopped farther away.

looked at Mu Yao with a leisurely expression.

"Who the hell are you?"

Mu Yao could feel that this person's skills were much higher than his own. I simply gave up the chase.

The man deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Originally, the eldest prince of Mu was just a weak scholar, but I really didn't expect to have such skills, and he was even more murderous, and he didn't even let go of the two maids. ”

After saying that, he jumped off the eaves. Disappeared in an instant.

Mu Yao clenched his fists. The brow is deeply locked.

He turned to look at the ruined temple, took out the fire fold from his bosom, and walked towards the temple.

He had come to destroy the corpse.

Now that it has been discovered, it has been destroyed even more completely.

In this way, who can come up with evidence that he killed these two maids?

Looking up at the direction where the man in black disappeared, Mu Yaozhuang stood in place for a long time without moving.

Who the hell is that person? If he finds out, he will be torn to pieces.

And he'll definitely find out.

The corners of Mu Yao's mouth were slightly hooked. Snorted coldly.

The next day coincided with the rest time, and Mu Zhiling returned to Yulanzhai after asking for peace from Yulanzhai. Mu Yu rushed to the Begonia Garden. A look of excitement.

"Sister, sister!"

Mu Zhiling walked out of the room when she heard the sound.

Seeing Mu Yu's excited appearance, he was stunned.

Over the years, my brother has calmed down a lot, and he has been a little out of shape like now.

"It's back!"

Mu Yu came all the way, and almost fell down when he reached the steps.

"Brother, slow down, who did you say came back?" Mu Zhiling saw that Mu Yu almost fell, and said worriedly.

Mu Yu took a deep breath, then eased up a little, and said, "Ah Li, Ah Li is coming back." I heard that the emperor remembered Empress Zheng's longing for King Zheng and pardoned King Zheng to return to Beijing. ”

After hearing this, Mu Zhiling said lightly: "Oh......"

Seeing that Mu Zhiling had no sense of surprise, Mu Yu was suddenly puzzled and said, "Sister, why didn't you react at all after hearing this, don't you want Ah Li to come back?" Remember you used to be very clingy to Ali. ”

Mu Zhiling smiled reluctantly and said, "Of course I like Brother Li, I was pleasantly surprised when he came back, but shouldn't that surprise come after seeing others?" ”

How should she tell her brother that she had seen Zheng Li at the autumn banquet.

And at this moment, when she learned the news that Zheng Li was coming back, her mind was full of scenes from the autumn banquet.

That so-called supposed surprise has long been replaced by doubt.

Brother Ali is afraid that he has always been in Kyoto.

But he deceived everyone, including his brother.

What did he do when he came to Kyoto a few days ago?

Mu Yu stuffed a letter into Mu Zhiling's hand and said, "Sister, this is a letter from Ah Li to you." ”

Mu Zhiling was stunned and reached out to catch it.

Is this letter for her?

She's seen Brother Li......

Mu Yu took a closer look at the faint dark blue in Mu Zhiling's eyes, and said, "Sister, why don't you rest well, but you are restless?" If so, let Imperial Physician Zhang prescribe a calming prescription for you. The girl's body is the most delicate. Come into the house and get some rest, I happen to have an unfinished painting at hand. ”

Mu Zhiling looked down at the envelope and nodded.

This was the first time she had seen Zheng Li's handwriting, and the majestic font jumped into view, which made her lose her mind for another moment.

She carefully opened the envelope, and there were only two big words on a blank piece of paper—don't blame.

An indescribable taste in my heart.

What does Brother Li mean by this?

Didn't he guess her mind and know that she was blaming him for concealment?

But after a while, I heard Cuiliu anxiously running into the yard and said, "Miss, it's not good." Old lady, old lady's illness is even more severe. I heard that I was convulsed all over my body at this time, and I couldn't even speak. ”

Mu Zhiling put away the letter in her hand, put it on the bedside, and asked, "Did Imperial Doctor Zhang rush over?" ”

"I have already rushed over, and the uncle asked everyone to go over immediately, saying that it was ...... said that he was afraid of missing the last time he saw Mrs. Mu. ”

Mu Zhiling walked quickly towards Yulanzhai.

In the past two days, she has been looking for an opportunity to administer the needle to the old lady, but she has not found the right time, she thought of going tonight, but she didn't expect the old lady Mu's illness to attack so quickly.

When Mu Zhiling arrived at Yulanzhai, everyone was sitting still, their expressions were solemn and anxious, and they were not as calm and calm as last time.

Imperial Physician Zhang has just arrived.

Mu Zongze grabbed Imperial Physician Zhang's arm and said, "Imperial Physician Zhang, please be sure to cure my mother." ”

Mu Zongsheng and Mu Zongyao frowned.

Everyone in the Mu family has expired and gathered in the outhouse.

Imperial Physician Zhang glanced at Mu Zhiling and said, "The old man will definitely do his best, but the old man still needs someone to help with this method." ”

When Mu Zongsheng heard this, he quickly said, "Find a few maids with nimble hands and feet to follow Imperial Doctor Zhang in." ”

Mu Zhiling walked up to Mu Zongze and said, "Daddy, let me in, my daughter has also read a few pages of medical books because of her weak body over the years, and she may be able to help." ”

Imperial Physician Zhang glanced at Mu Zhiling and said, "It's just right for the old man to see the fifth lady go." ”

Mu Zhiling followed Imperial Doctor Zhang into the inner room.

Imperial Physician Zhang closed the curtain.

The old lady had fainted in bed, and she had no appearance to speak of.

Breathing is already extremely shallow.

It's only been three days, and the whole person has already shown a skinny posture.

Mu Zhiling looked at it and felt a little crazy.

After examining Mrs. Mu's pulse through the thin veil, Imperial Physician Zhang said, "It's still too late." ”

He got up, glanced at Mu Zhiling, and said, "Fifth Miss, are you ready?" ”

Mu Zhiling bit her lip and nodded heavily.

Today's situation does not allow her to be unprepared.

Imperial Physician Zhang walked outside the curtain, and could only see the vague figures of Mu Zhiling and Old Madam Mu, turned around, and said, "Fifth Miss, in order to prevent mistakes, the old man will say a word, and you will do it." ”

Then Mu Zhiling took off the clothes of the unconscious Mrs. Mu, and under the guidance of Imperial Doctor Zhang, she inserted silver needles into Mrs. Mu's body one by one.

Two full hours later, Mu Zhiling was soaking wet.

She was already sweating.

The whole person seemed to be in prostration.

Mrs. Mu's condition improved slightly.

It was sunset when the two of them left the room.

Seeing Imperial Physician Zhang, everyone excitedly asked about Mrs. Mu's situation.

Imperial Physician Zhang took a deep breath and said, "The old lady's condition has stabilized, she only needs to rest for one night, and she will be able to wake up early tomorrow morning." It's just that the old lady's body is weak, and she needs to pass the gold needle once every three days. I'm afraid that there will be Miss Lao Wu at that time. ”

Mu Zhiling took out a silk scarf from her arms to wipe the beads of sweat on her forehead, and chuckled: "If you can contribute to saving your grandmother, Ling'er can't ask for it." ”

Mu Zongsheng looked at Mu Zhiling, and suddenly smiled: "The little five of the Mu family are really becoming more and more sensible. ”

The atmosphere was instantly softened by the condensation of the right talents.

The corners of Mu Zhiling's mouth were slightly hooked, and she glanced at Imperial Doctor Zhang.

When Mu Zhiling and Imperial Physician Zhang looked at each other, they didn't see a cruel gaze enveloping her in the corner. (To be continued......)
