Volume 033: This feeling is called guilt
"I know you're married."
He was silent for a while, and then said with some relief: "Anyway, you call me Brother Haifeng, I didn't give a congratulatory gift when you got married, so this bento should be used as a congratulatory gift." ”
"This gift is too heavy."
This is his family heirloom, and only his daughter-in-law can't take it.
"But Xiaoxue, I fished it out of the bottom of the lake, not so that you could return it to me. If so, it would be better to let it sink to the bottom of the lake. ”
"Okay, then Xiaoxue will take it for Brother Haifeng first, and when Brother Haifeng has a woman who wants to marry home, Xiaoxue will give it to your sister-in-law for you,"
"Xiaoxue, what is the difference between you saying such things and stabbing me in the heart with a knife?"
His voice was low, and he was wrapped in endless pain.
The rough palm held her little hand and was reluctant to let go.
This man forbearably made Mu Xue feel distressed.
It seems that he doesn't even dare to express his dissatisfaction in front of him.
"Brother Haifeng...."
She didn't know what kind of words she was going to use to persuade him, she only knew that this man was unhappy and her heart was quite depressed.
What does that feel like?
Mu Xue thought for a while and couldn't find the right words to describe it, and temporarily defined this feeling as guilt.
After all, she occupies the body of this man's beloved woman.
Just as she was thinking wildly about whether she was influenced by the original Mu Xue or her own subjective consciousness, Fei Qi's voice sounded not far away.
"Princess? Princess? Okay, okay? ”
It seems that they have been delayed for too long, so come and remind them.
"Here we are."
Mu Xue broke free of his small hands from between his big palms as he spoke, and then carefully wiped the beads one by one with a handkerchief.
Finally, it was packed in a brocade box, and then properly hidden in his wide sleeve robe.
"You go back and change into clean clothes first, save yourself a cold later, and I'll go and say it for you first on Daddy's side."
"Okay."
He lowered his head, obeyed Mu Xue's arrangement, and went back to his room to change his clothes first.
Seeing him walk away, Mu Xue asked Fei Qi beside him, "How is it?" ”
"According to your orders, Princess, now that Miss Chang wantonly insulted her sister-in-law, the news has spread, presumably Prince Nabao should have heard about it."
"What about her?"
"Miss Chang hasn't been out since we left, presumably because the redness and swelling on her face haven't disappeared, so she doesn't dare to go out, right?"
"Alright, let's go."
In the front hall, Mu Xue had not yet walked in, and the atmosphere of talking and chatting inside came out.
Mu Xue walked in slowly, bowed and saluted: "I've seen Prince Bao, I've seen Daddy, I've seen Madame." ”
Mrs. Mu had seen people coming a long time ago.
Seeing that it took so long for someone to come, he immediately said with a cold face: "Don't you see that there are distinguished guests here, master?" Why did you come so late and let us wait for you to eat alone. If she really became a princess, the shelf is bigger. ”
Mu Xue got up generously, thinking that even if she didn't come to the front hall just now, the general's wife had already arranged herself.
But she didn't care, she just took out a brocade box from her bosom.
"Madam, you misunderstood me, just now Brother Haifeng and I just went to the bottom of the lake to fish for something, and it was a little late. I also hope that Prince Bao will not be surprised, and please don't be harsh on my father. ”
Prince Bao is a guest, this is a family matter of the General's Mansion, so he is naturally not easy to intervene.
In fact, General Mu also complained a little about Mu Xue in his heart, and he didn't come after such a long delay.
asked her in a slightly questioning tone: "What great thing do you have to go to fish for now?" ”
Mu Xue opened the brocade box, took two steps forward, and presented the thing in front of General Mu.
There were some scattered jewels lying quietly inside, but he seemed to be somewhat familiar: "Where do I think I've seen this thing?" ”
"Daddy, you forgot? This is the wedding gift from Brother Haifeng, and this chain was handed over to Brother Haifeng in person back then. ”
As soon as Mu Xue spoke, General Mu was reminded of the old things.
That was fifteen years ago.
Their army was surrounded by enemy troops, and he had already fainted on the battlefield, and among the corpses on the ground he was no different from a dead man, and naturally no one noticed him.
Vice General Mu wore his armor to lead away the pursuers, and he got a glimmer of life.
By the time our friendly troops arrived with their troops, Vice General Mu had already fallen in a pool of blood, ten thousand arrows pierced his heart, and he had long lost the breath of life.
And Mu Haifeng was only three years old at the time.
They still won the battle later, but the bones of the deputy general were buried forever in the desert loess.
He returned to Adjutant General Mu's house with bad news.
The woman was a strong person, as proud as Vice General Mu, so she left the three-year-old Mu Haifeng on the spot and went.
Leaving behind a family heirloom necklace and a word of annoyance, the general left.
Entrusted by the old man, General Mu accepted the young Mu Haifeng as his righteous son and taught him by his side.
As long as General Mu thought of those things, he felt guilty.
So when Mu Haifeng sincerely asked to marry his third daughter, he also agreed.
So now that Mu Xue took out this thing, the guilt in his heart was overwhelming.
So he's going to have to figure out how this thing got ruined like this!!
I saw him breathe a deep sigh of relief, and asked Mu Xue with some anger: "Then why did this thing break up like this?" ”
Mu Xue glanced at Prince Bao, who was drinking tea alone, and then at the general's wife over there, before she spoke back.
"That's right, when my daughter and I were fifteen years old, Brother Haifeng was not in the capital, so I gave the gift of Jilu in advance, and this is it."
"How did that happen?"
With General Mu's questioning, Mrs. Mu couldn't sit still.
preemptively spoke: "It's not that the third lady doesn't cherish it, otherwise how did she become like this?" ”
Mu Xue glanced at Mrs. Mu innocently and said: "It's not that I don't cherish it, it's that Sister Wanting said that she liked it and snatched it to wear it, and she didn't return this one to me, I thought that Sister Wanting has been wearing it for a year, and I'm afraid I'm tired of it." I thought about getting it back, who would have thought that Sister Wanting said that she had lost this thing at the bottom of the lotus pond. ”
"What are you talking about, how can your stuff be with my daughter?"
Mu Xue chuckled, the general's wife always interjected, and she didn't see Prince Bao frowning.
"Daddy, I'm not lying, if you don't believe it, you sent Sister Wanting to ask, I can confront her in court."
While speaking, Mu Xue looked at her father with pitiful eyes, and said aggrievedly: "Sister Wanting actually likes it, and if she really likes it, she can also give in to her sister." But Daddy, Sister Wanting would rather throw this thing away from the lotus pond than return it to me, you say, Sister Wanting doesn't particularly hate our sisters? ”
That's a terrible thing!!
Prince Bao's brow furrowed even tighter.
The Sichuan eyebrows are very tasteful, at least Mu Xue looks very comfortable.
"Hmph, it's all your words, you made the necklace look like this yourself, and you still have to blame Sister Wanting? Don't think I don't know, you have been jealous of your sister Wanting's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since you were a child, so it is normal for you to frame you like this. ”
What a rake!!
Mu Xue chuckled lightly and calmly: "How did this chain break, my brother Haifeng is the best witness, after all, this thing belongs to him." Besides, madam, you can call Sister Wanting over and see who got it. ”
"You rebel girl, I'm your mother anyway, how dare you talk to me like this?"
Hehe, Mu Xue really wants to give her a big mouth.
If you can't talk about it, you have to use your mother's identity to pressure yourself.
"I'm just here to prove my innocence, and if I have offended, I ask my wife to forgive me."
Speaking of this, Mu Xue paused, and picked up the princess's shelf: "Besides, I am now a princess, I am not wronged, but I can't let people insult the reputation of the prince in vain." Uncle Huang, you said that your nephew and daughter-in-law did this, right? ”
Prince Bao, who was suddenly mentioned, was shocked.
He had been drinking tea on the sidelines, and he had listened to the ins and outs of the matter.
Immediately put down the tea cup in his hand, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "What the princess said is right." Although this is a family affair in the General's Mansion, it is just a fight between little girls, but now the third lady is always the princess, and everything is to argue whether it is true or false, even if the two daughters insist on their own words, there is always one who lies... ”
Interesting, this Prince Bao is really too fond of Mu Xue's taste.
She was embarrassed to tell Mu Wanting about lying directly, but this Prince Bao was blunt.
"Yes, yes, what the prince said is, when the old man calls Wanting out, you will find out as soon as you ask."
After that, he glared at his wife, meaning to tell her not to talk too much, and no matter how much she said and lost face, she would be thrown in front of Prince Bao.
The general's wife was very angry, and walked away with an obscure face.
Mu Xue put away the brocade box and stood beside General Mu.
Then he made a simple salute: "It's just that Brother Haifeng is suffering, I still have to go into the water to fish on such a cold day, I'm afraid that I will freeze my body, Daddy don't blame him for being late." ”
As soon as the words fell, Mu Haifeng, who had just changed his clothes, also came.
His hair was still wet, which confirmed that the man had just come out of the water.
What the truth is is now clear.
"I've seen Prince Bao, I've seen my father-in-law."
Prince Bao's eyes lit up when he saw Mu Haifeng, who was so energetic, and immediately exclaimed: "Sure enough, it is General Mu's training, what a hot-blooded man, and he deserves the ability to quell the rebellion and chaos in Zhuoer Mountain." ”
Hearing that someone was happy to Mu Haifeng, Mu Zhennan was also quite proud.
After all, this child was also raised by himself, and he taught her as if she were his own child.
Now that he has outstanding ability, he is naturally gratified in his heart.
I saw him touch his beard with a smile and said, "Eh, don't boast about the prince, the young man can't stand the praise." It hasn't settled yet."
Listening to her father's words, Mu Xue was very happy.
This sentence has not yet precipitated, which shows that General Mu has high hopes for Mu Haifeng.
