Chapter 255: Pitiful
It is the city of Kunming, which has the name of spring in all seasons, and there are cold times in winter. After several days of rain, a gust of wind poured in from the window, and Zhu Gaoxu felt a chill from his bones.
"Gah!" The wooden shelves on the side of the wall moved. Madame Duan turned her head to look at her in alarm, as if she had been disturbed, apparently she hadn't noticed the shelf at all before.
The shelf was pushed a few more times before the door was revealed. Duan Xue hated standing at the door, and her eyes immediately looked for Mrs. Duan.
In a moment, the room suddenly became very quiet, and no one made a sound.
Mrs. Duan stiffened, and first looked at Zhu Gaoxu with shock and resentment. It was a sudden reaction after being tricked and played, but she soon calmed down...... Perhaps she had realized that she wanted to spread the word about it.
Zhu Gaoxu also showed a little embarrassed and ugly sneer. Although it was wrong to play tricks and deceive people, he felt that what he did was still not comparable to Mrs. Duan.
Duan Xue hate's skin was already pale, and now she couldn't see even a little blood, at first glance it looked like a cold corpse, she didn't even say a word, just looked straight at Mrs. Duan.
Zhu Gaoxu finally opened his mouth to break the silence, and he said to Duan Xuehe: "I said I would let you go." I'll tell the guards in a moment that you can go out through the Duanli Gate. There is also Miss Duan's life experience, I will inform Mu Fu, otherwise as soon as you go out, I am afraid you will be arrested. ”
"What is King Han going to do with her?" Duan Xue asked coldly.
Zhu Gaoxu said: "The person who was hurt is Miss Duan, you have the final say." ”
Mrs. Duan's face changed, and she said, "How can the prince treat me like this?" ”
"Why can't I do this to you?" Zhu Gaoxu asked rhetorically.
Mrs. Duan opened her mouth, and finally explained: "I helped the prince catch Emperor Jianwen and overthrow the Mu Mansion!" ”
Zhu Gaoxu shook his head, and then slowly spoke: "The person who wants to find Emperor Jianwen the most is my father, I just obey orders, and I don't want to disobey my father's orders." As for Mu Fu, who told you that I wanted to destroy them? If I'm not mistaken, I told Mrs. Duan very clearly last time, I have no intention of targeting Mu Mansion! ”
Mrs. Duan's face was more ugly than crying, she had a look of fear on her face, she quickly glanced at Duan Xue Hat, and said, "However, the fall of Mufu is indeed good for the prince, can't you swallow Yunnan alone?" ”
Zhu Gaoxu sighed lightly and smiled bitterly: "Mrs. Duan has a bit of knowledge, but that's all. You're really thinking too much. ”
After saying that, he took off the gold-covered hard leather scabbard from his waist, handed the scabbard to Duan Xue Hate along with the sword, and made a gesture of please.
Mrs. Duan suddenly took half a step back, her eyes staring at Duan Xue's hateful hand, and she didn't dare to be distracted to talk to Zhu Gaoxu anymore.
"Bell!" Duan Xue hated the sword and pulled it out of its scabbard. Madam Duan immediately took another step back and looked sideways at the things around her.
Duan Xue hated lowered his head, looked at the bright sword blade, and said, "You ......"
"Xue hate, I raised you so big, even if you are not a biological mother, you have the grace of parenting!" Mrs. Duan said hurriedly. In a hurry, she seemed a little disrespectful at this time.
Duan Xue hated and shook his head.
Obviously, Mrs. Duan's words are not credible, what she said to Zhu Gaoxu "alone" just now: Now Duan Xue is useless to her. So what kind of nurturing is it about?
"Bell!" The sword was halfway drawn, but not yet. Duan Xue hated to stare at Mrs. Duan, and suddenly tears flowed silently on her face.
There was another long silence, and the air seemed to freeze. Zhu Gaoxu observed the development of the situation, and said in his heart: Looking at it like this, Mrs. Duan lacks confidence, and it seems that she can't beat Duan Xue's hatred.
At this time, Xue Hate returned the sword to the scabbard, and suddenly said, "You go!" ”
"Huh?" Mrs. Duan glanced at Duan Xue Hye in surprise, and made a voice in unison with Zhu Gaoxu.
Mrs. Duan was only stunned for a moment, then immediately looked at Zhu Gaoxu and cautiously moved towards the door. Zhu Gaoxu said: "I just said, let Miss Duan decide." ”
Mrs. Duan immediately dodged to the door and walked quickly without looking back.
After a while, Chen Dazhui walked to the door to ask, and after getting Zhu Gaoxu's confirmation, he left the place again.
Duan Xue hated her head sideways and silently wiped her tears, but immediately flowed out again, and she said, "There is no nurturing grace...... I just pity her! ”
Zhu Gaoxu nodded thoughtfully, a little hesitantly.
"I know, if it weren't for her, I would have been better off all these years......" Duan Xue choked up, her face was full of tears, but her voice was not loud; If it weren't for the trembling and choked voice, her tone sounded little different from usual, "Maybe I'm pathetic too, but I still can't help but pity her." ”
Zhu Gaoxu's business had already been done, but he had no intention of leaving immediately, because Duan Xue was still talking. Just as he always cared for his own prince Bigg, he listened patiently when others were willing to speak.
But after he heard Duan Xue's words clearly, he still didn't quite understand.
Duan Xue hated and said in a low voice: "I have always pitied her...... In fact, I have never met the father she said, and I am not too obsessed with revenge. But I never hesitate to take revenge, because I pity her, and I can feel her daily loveless suffering......"
Zhu Gaoxu still didn't speak, but he made a deferential appearance, and nodded with empathy from time to time.
However, he saw with his own eyes that Duan Xue hated to let Mrs. Duan go, and said that he had pity on that person. This made Zhu Gaoxu feel that this female assassin was a bit too virgin. Anyway, if he were in that situation, he would definitely not do so.
Duan Xue muttered: "I don't have any hatred in my heart, it's all she asking me to hate, but I always knew who I was at that time...... Now that I know the truth, I just feel a little empty. ”
After a while, Zhu Gaoxu looked at her shrinking with her arms hugging her body, and then opened her mouth to persuade: "Anyway, since the truth is revealed, you have become a member of the Mu family, and your life will be better than before." You want to open a point. ”
"Isn't the Mu family going to suffer? It's all a good thing that I did with her......" Duan Xue said with tears in her eyes.
Zhu Gaoxu said seriously: "It's really hard to say now, and I can't guess the ending." He pondered for a moment and then said, "Why don't Miss Duan stay for another two days, and wait for Mufu to send someone to pick you up?" ”
Duan Xue hated not refused, shrunk and stood silently in the corner.
Zhu Gaoxu acquiesced to her, and he was about to go out, so he asked again: "Do you want wine?" ”
Duan Xue's voice was a little hoarse, and he lowered his head and said, "I never drink." ”
Zhu Gaoxu nodded, hugged his fists and said, "Miss Duan can go back to the room where she lived before for a while and stay for a day or two." I'll take my leave. ”
…… The Han Wangfu has sent Zhu Gaoxu's handwritten letter to the Mu Mansion.
Mu Sheng walked around the old lady's room, and Chen's, Mu Zhen and other family members were also here. Mu Sheng muttered: "The eldest brother did have a daughter who disappeared back then, and he searched the whole city at that time and didn't find it. But so many years have passed since this incident, how can she be confirmed? ”
Old Madam Geng immediately spoke: "Let's take it back first, if it is the bloodline of the Mu family, how can it be left outside?" ”
Chen glanced at the old lady and echoed: "We have all seen the eldest brother and sister-in-law, if that girl is the eldest brother's own daughter, she always looks a little alike." ”
"It's fine." Mu Sheng turned his head and said, "You take a few people to the Han Wang's Mansion and bring them back first." ”
Chen said: "Why don't you come to the door in person and take this opportunity to meet King Han?" ”
Mu Sheng sighed, shook his head and said, "It's useless, the fate of Mu Mansion, King Han said it doesn't count." ”
Chen still persuaded softly: "No matter what, he is the emperor's own son after all, even if he doesn't say it, it will work." ”
Mu Sheng thought for a while and said, "Still don't go, what can I say if I go?" Bring them back, and prepare for me to give you an account. ”
Even the old lady didn't say anything, I'm afraid she has the same opinion as Mu Sheng. Chen couldn't persuade him anymore and left the room.
At this time, Mu Zhen looked worried and said, "I also want to pick up my cousin." ”
Chen looked at Mu Sheng, Mu Sheng nodded and said, "Let her go, anyway, Zhen'er is also used to being wild by you." ”
…… Although there was a gloomy atmosphere in the Mu Mansion, no one dared to touch them for the time being, and it was still very convenient for people in the mansion to enter and exit. Mu Zhen waited for Chen to prepare the car and entourage, and she also changed into a square scarf robe.
Mother Chen is the elder of her cousin, and she wears a decree dress when she goes to the Han Palace; And Mu Zhen is still in the boudoir, although she is not very rude, but she still has to cover it up, so she does not wear women's clothes.
The group left the Mu Mansion, and the carriage headed towards the Han Wangfu surrounded by the entourage.
At this time, Mu Zhen saw Geng Hao from the car window and was looking at the roadside, and soon Chen also saw him.
Chen frowned and asked with a look of disgust: "Geng Hao's face is anxious, what's the matter with him?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Geng Hao suddenly ran to the front, blocking the way of the carriage and horses. The group was forced to rein in their horses and stopped them.
Chen looked at Mu Zhen and said, "In front of everyone's eyes, what is this like?" He must be looking for you, you hurry down and say hello, don't let him shout indecent words! ”
"Yes." Mu Zhen replied helplessly.
When the carriage stopped, she stepped out. But she had a cold face and a faint anger.
Geng Hao shouted: "Cousin! ”
"You come over and say......" Mu Zhen frowned, "What else do you have to do, didn't we make it clear last time?" ”
Geng Hao followed Mu Zhen and walked back, and said anxiously: "It was me who was wrong last time!" But even if I didn't have that woman, I wouldn't have done anything, I was just impulsive and angry at the time......"
Mu Zhen said coldly: "Gongzi Geng, what's going on today?" Just say it! ”
"Geng Gongzi?" Geng Hao's face suddenly turned a little red, he seemed to swallow a breath of force, and said, "I've been thinking about it for a while, but I still can't forget my cousin......"
Mu Zhen interrupted him and sneered: "Is it wrong for me to call a person who will take revenge and cause our family to be a son?" ”
