Xie Shurou felt that the women of the Mu family were really strong.

From the youngest Mu Hongshang to the oldest Mrs. Mu, these women of the Mu family have about a backbone made of steel bars. Even Gu Yilan, the Mary Sue heroine who originally relied on men for everything, seemed to be getting farther and farther away from her original image after marrying into the Mu family. On the surface, she may not be as strong as Mu Hongsheng, who was raised by Mrs. Mu herself, but she is becoming more and more like a bamboo pole with elasticity that is constantly pressed, full of forbearance and resilience, although weak, but also trying to support this family.

The movement in the Anguo Mansion was so loud in the middle of the night, of course, the news spread quickly. Therefore, early in the morning, the Xie family had already received the news.

Xie Shurou was so anxious that she almost wanted to go to the room, she was very worried about Mu Hongsheng, but it was obvious that at this time, it was not suitable for a visit. It just so happened that on this day, Xie Shurou had planned to send someone to the Anguo Mansion early in the morning to deliver "bread" to Mrs. Mu, and the Xie family's cook prepared a food box early in the morning.

Xie Shurou therefore specially told Yingxing to follow her mother-in-law who ran errands to Anguo Mansion to inquire about the news.

"Remember, be sure to see lotus leaves or water chestnuts. Inquire about what is going on, how the night passed, and rumors are flying all over the sky. I'm asking Miss Mu what's wrong? Okay, bring her a message, if you need help with something, ask her to do it. But I don't know if you can see the lotus leaves...... If...... If the lotus leaf and water chestnut are busy, you can ask people to find Fangzhi or Fangxin. It doesn't matter who it is, I'm worried about the red dress. ”

"Miss, don't worry." Ying Xing immediately nodded and responded: "If the slave knows, she must be able to ask clearly." ”

"There is such a big thing, there are a lot of things in the Anguo Mansion," Xie Shurou said a few more words with an anxious face: "If you ask clearly, come back quickly, don't drag the lotus leaves to talk." And ......"

"Miss, look at you, what are you anxious about?" Yingyue hurriedly came over, pressed Xie Shurou to a chair and sat down, and brought her a cup of tea: "Yingxing is so clever, she has the most eyesight on weekdays, how can she lose the rules outside." Where do these words need to be instructed to her? Miss, you're in a daze. ”

yes, I'm really confused. Xie Shurou sat anxiously in her chair, watching Yingxing's back leave, and waited for her to come back.

In fact, Yingxing didn't go for long, and the Tonggong had already returned to Xie's house in about an hour. But Xie Shurou felt that she had waited for a century.

Seeing Yingxing coming back, she couldn't wait to greet her, anxiously asking about Mu Hongsheng's situation.

After Yingxing told all the information she had heard, she added: "Miss Guogong has not rested since she received the letter last night, she rode to Lord Jiang's house in the middle of the night, and Duchess An Guo entered the palace early in the morning. Miss, the fifth and sixth sons of the Mu family, I'm afraid it's really bad. Lotus Ye said that even the leopard raised by Miss Guogong was seriously injured, and it was not easy to bring back the blood book of the sixth prince. ”

"How are the red clothes, how are the old ladies and ladies of the Mu family?" Xie Shurou asked anxiously.

"I heard that the old lady and her wife were very sad when they heard the bad news early in the morning," Ying Xing replied, "But the Mu family is not in a mess. Lotus Ye said that except for the Duchess An Guo who entered the palace, the rest of the ladies were in the old lady's house, and Miss Guogong and Grandma Mu were with them. Lotus Ye said that the old lady was also ready to bring a few ladies to the palace together. Lotus Ye said, although the old lady and the lady are sad, they can still hold on. The eldest lady has been busy since last night, and Lotus Ye said that the chores at home at the moment are Miss Guogong and the eldest and young grandmothers in Zhang Luo. Don't worry too much, miss. ”

"Miss Guogong and the eldest young grandmother don't have time to see the slave maid, and the slave and maid don't ask to see and disturb them. But when the lotus leaf came out, the young grandmother and Miss Guogong knew, and the young grandmother asked the lotus leaf to bring a message, saying that there might be a letter to the young lady in the past few days. ”

The words brought by Gu Yilan to Yingxing were not clear, but Xie Shurou understood that the matter between the fifth and sixth sons of the Mu family may not be simple, and Gu Yilan probably had something to ask her.

Xie Shurou, who had a number in her heart, was not as anxious as before, she locked herself in the house and thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to take the maid and go to Grandma Xie's house to sit.

Grandma Xie was very happy to see her daughter coming. However, the housekeeper grandmother, Grandma Xie is actually very busy, and she actually has no time to gossip with her daughter. However, Xie Shurou didn't seem to mind very much, so she sat aside and watched Grandma Xie handle the housework.

"If Rou'er is bored, let's go play first." Grandma Xie took the account book and smiled softly at her daughter: "You don't have to accompany me here." ”

"It's not boring," Xie Shurou smiled dignified at Grandma Xie: "I like to accompany my mother." ”

"What's the matter today, my mouth is so sweet." Grandma Xie smiled: "But it's okay, you're almost eighteen, and you don't have many days to stay at home with me, and it will be difficult to get married in a few days." ”

"Yes!" Xie Shurou immediately climbed the pole and nodded: "Mother, why don't I eat here with you now?" Tell my brother to come too. If Daddy is free, please also ask Daddy to come back to the back house for dinner. ”

"Okay." Grandma Xie responded in a good mood: "When your father comes back from the yamen, I will send the maid to invite." ”

Xie Shurou's hard work was not in vain. Before noon, she waited for new news. The errand boy in the outer courtyard came to spread the word, saying that the uncle was back.

Grandma Xie felt strange, this was the time when the dynasty had just dispersed, and it stands to reason that Xie Changjing should have gone to the household yamen, why did he suddenly come back.

"Grandma, the uncle and Master Jiang from the military department are back together," the errand boy replied: "Uncle left Lord Jiang for lunch and asked Grandma to prepare a few good dishes." The uncle ordered, I have to go to the yamen in the afternoon, and the wine will be free. ”

"It's strange today." Grandma Xie muttered strangely: "Why did Master Jiang suddenly come over at this hour." ”

"There was an accident in the Anguo Mansion last night, Uncle Jiang, the squire of the military department, should be very busy, why did he suddenly come to our house, I don't know if it has something to do with last night's incident." Xie Shurou raised her eyes and looked at Grandma Xie's face: "I don't know what he is looking for his father." But my father is a squire in the household department, and he is not from the military department, so even if there is something, it has nothing to do with my father! ”

"yes!" Grandma Xie also frowned, looking a little worried.

Xie Shurou's eyes rolled: "If the mother is not at ease, it is better to send the maid to the front yard to take a look." ”

"It's fine." Grandma Xie hesitated slightly, then nodded and responded, "In case your father has something urgent to order, I should be prepared." ”
