The bad news finally came. In early August, Mu Chengfang died of illness in the north.

When the news reached the capital, it was the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Mr. Chen and Mr. Sun stood in the courtyard at a loss with the urgent letter from the north, not knowing how to inform the back house of the sad news.

Every year in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the imperial court has to work in accordance with the rules, this year's Qincha has set off in late July, and the Mu family's ladies, as in previous years, packed up two large carts of things for Qincha to help carry to the north. This time, most of the medicinal materials sent to the north were medicinal materials for Mu Chengfang to nourish his body, but these medicinal materials, Mu Chengfang would never be able to use them.

"I'd better go," Mr. Sun sighed: "You can't hide this kind of thing, and you can't hide it." ”

Mr. Chen didn't speak, he sighed heavily, turned around, his eyes wet.

Mr. Sun turned around slowly, raised his head and looked at the sunset on the horizon, his face showed a little sadness, he raised his feet, and just walked in the direction of the back house, a voice suddenly came from the bushes in the shadow of the moon gate.

"Sir, something happened, didn't it?" Mu Hongsheng stood in the shadows, dressed in red and looking dull and black under the shadow of the trees, which reflected her eyes as bright as bright stars. At present, there was a bit of fear and panic in these bright eyes, and she looked at Mr. Sun fixedly, as if she was waiting for an answer, and as if she was afraid of that answer.

"Miss, ...... you" Mr. Sun wanted to say a few words to comfort the frightened girl in front of him, but when he opened his mouth, he felt that he was short of words. What can be said? What kind of words can comfort this family?

Not really.

Mu Hongshang looked at Mr. Sun's expression, and those bad thoughts came out one after another in her heart, but she still tried to stay calm, took a step forward cautiously, and stretched out her hand towards Mr. Sun: "Sir, is the letter for grandmother?" I...... I'll send it to you for you. ”

It was a child who grew up watching himself, and of course Mr. Sun knew what Mu Hongsheng really wanted to say. He looked at Mu Hongsheng with a sad expression, and after a long time, as if he had made up his mind, he directly opened the envelope in his hand, pulled out the thin piece of stationery, and handed it to Mu Hongsheng's hand.

Seeing Mr. Sun's expression, the horror in Mu Hongsheng's eyes seemed to be even more obvious, and she hesitated for a moment before reaching out to pick up the thin piece of letterhead. There were originally not a few words on this letterhead, and it could be understood at a glance, but as soon as he lowered his head, Mu Hongsheng's face had turned pale.

She clutched the letter and stood there, as if she couldn't believe her eyes, and read the words over and over again, refusing to look up for a long time.

But she didn't cry.

But because of this, Mr. Chen and Mr. Sun are even more worried. They glanced at each other, and they both saw obvious concern on each other's faces, but what could they say at this time?

In the end, it was Mr. Chen, who took a step forward and stretched out his hand, wanting to take back the thin piece of stationery, but Mu Hongshang stepped back and directly dodged Mr. Chen's hand. Yunnan

She still didn't look up, but quickly folded the letter, then took a deep breath and said, "I...... I'll go. ”

She had only spoken two words, but her voice trembled visibly, as if she was trying to suppress her emotions. Soon, Mr. Chen found that Mu Hongsheng's whole body began to tremble, and the more he trembled, the more he trembled, and it seemed that he couldn't stand still.

Mr. Sun was so anxious that he also leaned over and wanted to help Mu Hongsheng, but Mu Hongsheng raised his head at this time.

She still didn't cry, with a little dazed in her eyes, she looked at Mr. Sun a little overwhelmed, and opened her mouth silently, as if she wanted to speak.

"Child, I'd better go find the old lady." Mr. Sun couldn't bear to look at Mu Hongsheng's eyes, he hurriedly lowered his head, and reached out to pull the letter again: "You don't have to do such a thing. And also...... Don't force it, cry whenever you want. ”

"I'll go." Mu Hongshang took a step back, wanting to fold the letter and put it away, but her hands trembled very much, she tried several times, but she couldn't fold the letter, Mr. Chen hurriedly stepped forward, and comforted him a little anxiously: "Miss, you go back to the room first, I will go to the old lady with Mr. Sun." ”

Mu Hongsheng didn't answer, but shook her head very firmly, turned around and walked quickly in the direction of the inner house. She walked very fast, but not very steadily, when she passed by the Moon Gate, she didn't even notice the stone steps under her feet, and she stumbled and almost fell, which made Mr. Chen and Mr. Sun see it and can't help but be more worried.

Who is Mu Hongsheng, in the words of Mrs. Mu, she has been a little monkey who can't stop since she can walk, and later under Huiming's high-pressure training, she has become more flexible, this road to the back house, even if she runs with her eyes closed, she will not be tripped up even if she runs with her eyes closed, but now, she is so absent-minded that she almost fell down the stone steps.

Mu Hongsheng almost fell, and saw not only Mr. Chen and Mr. Sun near the Moon Gate, but also Mu Lingyi and Mu Jinyi, who were walking side by side, ready to find Mu Hongsheng to have dinner.

As soon as Mu Jinyi saw that Mu Hongshang almost fell, she immediately rushed up, held her up, and then grinned, wanting to laugh at her sister's rare mistake. However, when he saw Mu Hongshang's pale face, his smile immediately froze on his face.

Mu Hongsheng was rudely pulled by Mu Jinyi's arms, and her posture was very awkward, but she didn't struggle, but looked at her brother's face with wide eyes like a puppet, and her always bright and smart eyes actually looked a little wooden and hollow, as if she suddenly didn't know Mu Jinyi.

Seeing Mu Hongshang like this, Mu Jinyi's scalp suddenly exploded, panic and panic gradually spread from the bottom of his eyes, he was anxious and afraid, and couldn't help but keep pulling Mu Hongsheng's arm hard, wanting to ask what was going on. But strangely, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open his mouth.

Mu Hongshang was pulled to the side by the overwhelmed Mu Jinyi, but she couldn't open her mouth to speak, the two sisters and brothers seemed to be playing a silent puppet show, one grabbed her sister in a panic and shook vigorously, and the other didn't move as if she was stupid.

At this time, Mu Lingyi, who was not far away, caught up in a few steps, he reached out and pinched Mu Jinyi's wrist directly, forcing Jinyi to let go, and then directly threw Mu Jinyi aside mercilessly. Mu Jinyi was defenseless and sat on the ground directly, but he didn't immediately turn over and jump up and start taking revenge as usual, but kept sitting on the ground, and continued to stare at Mu Hongsheng, who was obviously abnormal, with that frightened and panicked expression.

Mu Lingyi's face turned blue, and he turned around in a hurry, wanting to ask his sister what was wrong, but Mu Hongsheng didn't wait for him to speak, and had already held the thin piece of paper high in front of him.
