After the matter of Bai Luoyao and Ye Zisu, everyone returned to Yunshang Restaurant for another night. Ouyang Ruolin suspiciously put her veil next to the window of her room before going to bed, and when she got up early the next day, the veil disappeared. By saying goodbye to the steward of Yunshang Restaurant, everyone indirectly informed His Royal Highness the Prince. After two days of being outside the city, they entered the city as it was getting dark. In order to avoid suspicion, the Mu sisters all wore veils, and Mu Jinggong didn't know where to find a medicine box, and Mu Zhixi dressed up as a girl who went out. A few people did not walk on the road where Yunshang Restaurant was located, but went to the other side and came to the gate of Nangong Wei Ran's mansion. Knocking on the knocker, the door squeaked open, and an old man who looked like a housekeeper poked his head out to look at everyone: "Who are you?"

Xuan Zhuyi stepped forward and said, "We are here to visit Lord Nangong."

The old housekeeper said with a puzzled expression: "Visit Lord Nangong?" Do you have a visit at night? ”

Xuan Zhuyi said with a smile: "There is really a reason for this, we must meet Lord Nangong today, otherwise we will not be so abrupt."

The old housekeeper looked at Xuan Zhuyi, his face was modest and polite, and then he looked at these people behind Xuan Zhuyi, Ouyang Ruolin looked kind, Shang Ling smiled, and then looked at the ladies and sisters wearing veils as if they were practicing medicine, except for Yu Cihe, who looked expressionless and a little scary, the others were quite normal. The old butler thought for a moment, then opened the door and said, "Come in."

Xuan Zhuyi: "Thank you."

The people followed the old butler to the main hall.

Old butler: "Wait a minute, I'll call the master over."

Everyone bowed slightly and sat in the main hall and waited. The others didn't react, just worried about the Mu sisters. Mu Jinggong looked at her sister from time to time, and Mu Zhixi returned to a familiar place, and couldn't help but feel sad, but she still suppressed her inner feelings. Not long after, Nangong Wei Ran came to the main hall. Xuan Zhuyi got up first and bowed to Nangong Wei Ran, "The junior has seen Lord Nangong."

"No, no." Nangong Wei Ran waved his hand and said, "Where are you from?" What's the matter with me? ”

Xuan Zhuyi: "We are wandering monks, and we came to Nangong for help for a case."

Nangong Wei Ran: "Oh? What case can you ask me for help? ”

Xuan Zhuyi: "An old case."

"Old cases?" Nangong Wei Ran thought about it for a while, and asked the servants and old housekeepers in the main hall to retreat, "You might as well say it directly, what is the old case?" ”

"The case of Mufu."

As soon as these words came out, Nangong Wei Ran carefully counted the crowd and said coldly: "Who are you?" Is it really a wandering monk? ”

Xuan Zhuyi arched his hand and said: "Below is Xuan Zhuyi, the senior brother of Lingxian Pavilion, and the rest are my junior brothers and sisters."

Nangong Wei Ran: "This has nothing to do with you, it's better to be nosy."

Xuan Zhuyi: "I can't say that. The younger generation knows that Lord Nangong is reluctant to mention this matter because Lord Mu is your best friend, and Miss Mu is your daughter-in-law, because of the matter of Mu Fu, the only son was also buried in the sea of fire, and it is indeed a scar that you don't want to uncover again. ”

Nangong Wei Ran: "How do you know these things?" How could a monk of Lingxian Pavilion take care of these things in the imperial city? Who sent you?! ”

Xuan Zhuyi: "I'm ...... Sent by Miss Mu. ”

"You mean...... Jing Gong? Nangong Wei Ran looked at Xuan Zhuyi again, "Why should I believe you?" Isn't Mufu already ......"

Xuan Zhuyi took over and said, "My lord wants to say that he has been slaughtered, right?" Unfortunately, the second lady of Mufu was rescued by the monks of Lingxian Pavilion. If Lord Nangong doesn't believe it, I have something to testify to. As he spoke, Xuan Zhuyi took out a purple jade hairpin from his sleeve and said, "This was given to me by Miss Mu, and she said that it was given to her sister by her sister on the day she got married." On the night when the Mu Mansion caught fire, Miss Mu handed over the purple jade hairpin to Miss Mu before she died. Miss Mu said, if Lord Nangong doesn't believe my identity, I can give this thing to Lord Nangong to see, maybe Lord Nangong can think of something. Xuan Zhuyi handed the thing to Nangong Wei Ran, and Nangong Wei Ran took it and looked at it carefully. This purple jade hairpin was given to Mu Zhixi by Nangong Zishu on the day of marriage, but its real owner was Nangong Zishu's mother, Mrs. Lin. On the day Mrs. Lin married Nangong Wei Ran, she received a gift from Nangong Wei Ran, which was this purple jade hairpin. Nangong Wei Ran couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion when he looked at the purple jade hairpin in his hand, and actually shed a tear. Mu Zhixi looked distressed from the sidelines, Nangong Wei Ran was a military general, and his father was a civil official. It is said that men don't flick when they have tears, and as a general, they don't easily express their sadness. When her father was alive, Mu Zhixi had never seen her father cry, and she once thought that her father couldn't cry, but now that she saw Nangong Wei Ran, she knew that her father didn't know how to cry, but he couldn't cry, and he didn't dare to cry. In the depths of love, these tears are also a natural outpouring. Mu Zhixi looked at Nangong Wei Ran's face as if she saw her father, she looked at the tears shed by Nangong Wei Ran, as if she saw Mu Zeyu's sad appearance, and as if she saw Nangong Zisu's appearance when she was crying and regretful. Mu Zhixi finally couldn't bear it anymore, stood up, changed his voice, and took advantage of the convenience to leave the main hall. A maid took her away, and when she arrived at the place, she sent the maid away and walked around the Nangong Mansion alone. It may be missing, or it may be guidance, walking and walking, Mu Zhixi walked to the ancestral hall of Nangong Mansion. Seeing that the moon was dark and the wind was high, and in the dead of night, Mu Zhixi entered the ancestral hall. is the same as Mu Zhixi thought, the ancestral hall of Nangong Mansion is still like that, but there is an additional spiritual seat on the altar - Nangong Zishu. Mu Zhixi stepped forward and put on a stick of incense, knelt down and bowed, and then walked to Nangong Zishu's spiritual seat and watched silently and affectionately. Mu Zhixi naturally glanced at it with her eyes, and suddenly saw a spiritual statue hidden in the corner of the altar. She walked over and reached for it, and was taken aback. "The spirit seat of the eldest son Nangong Qiuze" Mu Zhixi's eyes widened, and then looked at the spirit seat of Nangong Zishu, "The spirit position of the eldest son Nangong Zishu"

"What's going on? How can there be two firstborn spirit seats? Mu Zhixi was puzzled in her heart, and suddenly heard a sound outside, so she hurriedly pulled the mechanism, hid in the secret passage, and secretly observed the situation outside. The door of the ancestral hall was opened, and an emaciated figure walked in, it was Mrs. Lin. I saw Mrs. Lin kneeling in front of the ancestral tablet, and she did a series of things like Mu Zhixi, but after that, she didn't say anything, and turned away, as if she walked in just to put on a stick of incense. Mrs. Xu felt that the burning incense was just here from Lord Nangong, so she didn't think much about it, and left after entering her own wish. Mu Zhixi waited for the surroundings to be quiet before coming out of the secret passage, hastily put Nangong Qiuze's spiritual position away, and then left the ancestral hall and returned to the main hall. The people in the main hall have not dispersed yet, and Nangong Wei Ran is asking the housekeeper to arrange a residence for Xuan Zhuyi and a few people. Mu Zhixi blended in, didn't say a word, and followed the maids to her room. It was night, Mu Zhixi tossed and turned, thinking about the relationship between Mifu and Nangong Mansion, but couldn't figure it out.

In the early morning of the next day, Nangong Wei Ran entered the palace to go to the morning court, and when Xuan Zhuyi and a few people got up for breakfast, they saw Mrs. Lin, and after eating, several people made excuses to go out. Only Mu Zhixi and Mrs. Lin were left, and while the two were chatting, Mu Zhixi asked Mrs. Lin about something.

Mu Zhixi: "Mrs. Lin, in this capital, is there any other place besides you where you get along well with Mu Mansion?"

Mrs. Lin: "Master Mufu has always been kind to people, and the relationship is good. There is also one, but it is no longer in the capital. ”

Mu Zhixi: "Which one?"

Mrs. Lin: "Mifu."

Mu Zhixi: "Does Mrs. Lin know why Mifu moved away?"

Mrs. Lin: "I don't know, maybe I think the capital is too chaotic." No one in their family has entered the court as officials, and they also have ancestral property in other places, so they will not suffer any loss if they move away. ”

Mu Zhixi: "Mrs. Lin, I want to ask you about someone."

Mrs. Lin: "You say."

Mu Zhixi: "Mrs. Lin, do you know a person named Mi Qiuze?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Lin's face changed slightly, but she still said with a pleasant face: "Oh, he is the elder brother of Miss Miya."

Mu Zhixi: "The eldest lady of Mifu is called Miya?" I heard that there is a person named Misuyue, isn't this from Mifu? ”

Mrs. Lin's face changed again, and she said, "How do you know these things?"

Mu Zhixi smiled: "Oh, we are wandering monks, that is, wandering Langzhong, the more people we see, the more things we hear."

"Oh, that's reasonable." Seeing that Mrs. Lin's face was slightly better, Mu Zhixi seized the opportunity and asked again, "Mrs. Lin, what's wrong with you?" Is there something going on in Mifu? ”

Mrs. Lin sighed and said: "The eldest lady of Mi Mansion is actually Mi Suyue, but Mi Su Yue's reputation outside is not very good, and then there was an accident, so the second lady Mi Ya was appointed as the eldest lady of Mi Mansion." Mi Qiuze you mentioned just now is Miya's cousin, but in fact, he is the eldest son of Nangong Mansion, and he was just sent to Mi Mansion. ”

Mu Zhixi was surprised and asked, "The eldest son of Nangong Mansion?" Why send it to Mifu? ”

Mrs. Lin sighed and said, "It's all the idea of the two old ladies."

Mu Zhixi: "The old lady's idea? But isn't this Nangong Qiuze also your son? How can it be sent to his house? ”

Mrs. Lin: "No, Qiu Ze is not my own son, he was brought back by the master." We have been raising him since we got him back, and after some things happened, we learned that Akisawa was actually a child of Mifu. At that time, my son, Nangong Zishu, was about to be born, and the old ladies of the two families had close contacts and had a good relationship, so they sent Qiu Ze to Mifu and became Miya's cousin. It's a pity that this kid didn't have a good life, and he died when he was only a teenager. We have thought of raising him for many years, and we have also set up a spiritual seat for him as the firstborn. It's just that from the outside world, Nangong Mansion only has one son. In fact, all of these things that go around and around are karmic results. ”

Mu Zhixi muttered, "I see."

Mrs. Lin: "Girl, it's not easy for you to come and go every day, otherwise you will fall in Nangong Mansion, right?" My Nangong Mansion can still afford to entertain you. ”

Mu Zhixi: "Thank you Mrs. Lin for your kindness, it's just that we are monks, and we still have a task to do!"

Mrs. Lin was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Jing Gong, that child, are you okay?"

Mu Zhixi was stunned for a moment and said, "Miss Mu is very good, you don't have to worry about it, madam."

Mrs. Lin: "The two sisters are really good when they are together."

Hearing this, Mu Zhixi looked at Mrs. Lin, but found that Mrs. Lin had been staring at her, she hurriedly avoided Mrs. Lin's eyes and said, "Madam, I still have some things to deal with, I'll go first." As he spoke, Mu Zhixi got up and was about to leave, but listened behind him

Mrs. Lin said, "You go, girl's house, just remember to take care of yourself."

"Mrs. Law is worried." Mu Zhixi hurriedly said a word and left.

—— —— ——

After staying in Nangong Mansion for two or three days, Xuan Zhuyi and the others were finally about to leave for Lingxian Pavilion. On the day of leaving, Mrs. Lin handed Mu Zhixi a bag, and without saying anything, she went back to the house. After Xuan Zhuyi and the others left the city, Mu Zhixi opened the bag that Mrs. Lin handed her, and couldn't help but tear up. In the bag was the purple jade hairpin, and there was a small note that read: Child, take care of yourself
