Chapter 30: Operation in the Shadows
The man glanced at Mu Ningxuan and said lightly: "No need, it's just a gesture." His voice was cold, and there was no expression on his face, and he turned around and left.
In the market, Mu Ningxuan was inconvenient to ask, so she only secretly recorded the man's appearance, and said in her heart: If there is a chance in the future, this favor will definitely be repaid.
"County Lord, girl, are you alright?" The coachman limped over and knelt in front of Mu Ningxuan, almost crying: "The little one should be damned, it frightened the county lord." ”
Mu Ningxuan looked at the coachman coldly and did not make a sound.
Aunt Su pointed to the coachman and said sharply: "You are really so bold that you threw off the carriage in danger and jumped off the horse to escape for your life?" ”
"The little one is wronged, the little one didn't deliberately drop the carriage and ran away, just a cart full of goods hit it straight over, the little one was not in a hurry, and was knocked off the horse when he boarded, and when he got up, he found that the horse was frightened and ran straight forward, and the small one was trotting all the way to here." The coachman argued with a bitter face.
Mu Ningxuan saw that the coachman was in rags and there were blood stains on his arms, which was not like telling a lie, so she asked the coachman to get up first and go back to the house.
The fact that the carriage is strange today, if someone deliberately did it, he would never have directly asked the groom to do this. It would be too foolish to order the groom to do so, and it would only take a little trial to expose the person behind him.
Guo Xiaoniang wants her to die now? It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, in the previous life, Guo Xiaoniang just wanted her to leave the Mu family earlier, fall into the Guo family, and become a stupid and pitiful woman.
Could it be that Guo Xiaoniang found out that she asked Feng's mother to investigate her mother's affairs and wanted to kill her? It's unlikely.
Whose work is this?
Maybe someone is already acting in secret, is it the King of Jin, the third prince can't hold it back?
Mu Ningxuan remembered the secret book given to her by the Queen Mother, the secret book was sealed with fire-marked adhesive strips, and Mu Ningxuan never opened it. After the previous life, Mu Ningxuan knew that this secret book must be related to the establishment of an heir, but who the official family wanted to pass on, Mu Ningxuan didn't know now.
Back in Liujutang, Mu Ningxuan thought about it and decided to try Guo Xiaoniang first.
Even if it wasn't Guo Xiaoniang's, you can use this incident to suppress Guo Xiaoniang a little.
Mu Ningxuan asked Aunt Su to lead the coachman directly to Guo Xiaoniang and tell Guo Xiaoniang what happened today.
After a while, Guo Xiaoniang and Mu Houye came over together.
"Xuan'er has seen her father." Mu Ningxuan curtsied at Mu Houye with teary eyes.
Guo Xiaoniang's face was full of distress, she grabbed Mu Ningxuan's hand, and said softly: "Sister Xuan, let me see, is there any injury?" “
Mu Houye looked at Mu Ningxuan with a worried face.
Mu Ningxuan said softly: "Thank you father and Aunt Guo for your concern, Xuan'er was not injured, when the carriage was about to hit the wall, fortunately someone rescued her, and Xuan'er was not injured in the slightest." ”
"Who is the rescuer? Benhou must thank him again. Mu Hou Ye said in a deep voice.
Mu Ningxuan shook her head: "Xuan'er doesn't know who that person is, that person left after saving her daughter without leaving a name." ”
Mu Hou Ye praised: "If you can save people from fire and water without trying to reciprocate, you must be a righteous gentleman, if you have the opportunity to see you again in the future, you must be rewarded." ”
"That's what my father said." Mu Ningxuan nodded in agreement.
Guo Xiaoniang continued: "Sister Xuan, don't worry, the coachman didn't hold the reins today, so that Sister Xuan was in danger and frightened, and she has been expelled from Mufu by Hou Ye's cane." ”
Mu Ningxuan pretended to be surprised and said: "That coachman is an old coachman in the family for many years, I heard that he has never made a mistake, and he didn't mean to come this time, so he doesn't have to be like this." ”
Mu Hou Ye frowned slightly, glanced at Guo Xiaoniang, and then turned to look at Mu Ningxuan's eyes and said: "Xuan'er, you have to remember that in the future, whether it is in the Hou Mansion or elsewhere, if anyone who is not dedicated to doing things, you should be punished like this." ”
"Yes, Xuan'er knows, thank you for her father's teachings."
