Mu Ningjia lowered her head and didn't dare to speak, while Lan Xiaoniang lay on the bed and wept silently, without saying a word.

Mu Hou Ye sat next to Lan Xiaoniang's bed, and said softly: "Wait a minute, drink the medicine, I still have something to do in my study, and I will come to see you later." ”

Lan Xiaoniang nodded and said softly: "The road is slippery in the snow, Hou Ye is careful on the way back." ”

Seeing that her father was leaving, Mu Ningxuan on the side was a little anxious, and hurriedly said, "Father, the housekeeper hasn't come yet." ”

Mu Ningxuan pulled Mu Ningjia and said, "Third sister, my father is here today, if you have any grievances, you can tell your father, and your father will definitely make decisions for you and Aunt Lan." ”

Mu Hou Ye hesitated to look at Mu Ningxuan, and then at Mu Ningjia and Lan Xiaoniang.

Although he was called to Lan Yuexuan by Mu Ningxuan, seeing that Lan Xiaoniang was sick in bed, the quilt was thin, and the room was cold, he was angry from the bottom of his heart.

Mufu is a marquis's family, if this matter spreads, Mufu will not only lose its dignity but also attract jokes.

He didn't want to make a big deal about this matter, and was going to deal with it after asking Guo Xiaoniang in private.

But right now, his eldest daughter Mu Ningxuan was upset, and Mu Houye had to sit down patiently, looked at Mu Ningjia, and said in a slightly angry tone: "Ning Jia, what's the matter?" ”

Mu Ningjia was frightened by Mu Houye's anger, and cried quietly, Lan Xiaoniang couldn't bear it, and said in a trembling voice: "Hou Ye, don't blame Ning Jia, it's all the concubine's fault." ”

"Aunt Lan, what are you wrong?" Seeing Lan Xiaoniang and the third sister's submissive appearance, Mu Ningxuan was so angry that she grabbed the words: "Are you not letting fresh food be served in the dining room, or are you blocking and asking people not to give Lan Yuexuan charcoal clothes?" The charcoal you are using now is still what I have given you! ”

"What, you gave the charcoal fire in this house?" Mu Houye turned his head to look at Mu Ningxuan.

Mu Ningxuan nodded and said, "Yes, father." It was precisely because she knew that Lan Xiaoniang was short of food and clothing here, so Xuan'er privately gave them some of my share, and she was not going to tell her father about it.

But Lan Xiaoniang has been sick for a few days, and she can't invite a doctor, so Xuan'er has the courage to invite her father over and call the shots for Aunt Lan and her third sister. “

"What's the matter if you don't have a doctor?" Mu Houye's heart was full of doubts.

Mu Ningjia choked up and said: "Every time I ask the doctor to see my little mother, the doctor shirks and says that there is something wrong and refuses to come to see, this time it is the doctor called by Sister Xuan." ”

"There is such a thing! Did the doctor leave just now? Call him over. Mu Hou Ye said angrily.

Mu Ningxuan said slowly: "Father, it's better to call the doctor, it's better to call Aunt Guo over, now she always has the final say in the affairs of the inner house." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard Steward Cao say at the door: "Master Hou, the housekeeper of the dining room is here." ”

"Come in." Mu Hou Ye said in a solemn voice.

The dark and fat dining room steward followed behind Steward Cao, walked in with his head down, walked to Mu Hou Ye and knelt down, and said, "The little one is Huang Er, the steward of the dining room, who has seen Hou Ye." ”

Mu Hou Ye said coldly: "What's going on with Lan Yuexuan's meal?" ”

Knowing that the East Window incident happened, he couldn't get rid of it anyway, Guo Xiaoniang had promised him benefits before, so Huang Er didn't shirk it, and said in his mouth: "It's the little lard that blinds the heart, and the meal of Lan Xiaoniang is deducted privately, it's all a small fault, and a small one admits punishment." ”

"Why do you only deduct Lan Xiaoniang's share, do you have a grudge against Lan Xiaoniang?" Seeing that Huang Er directly admitted his mistake, Mu Ningxuan felt that something was wrong, and asked.

Huang Er said unhurriedly: "The little one has no enmity with Lan Xiaoniang, and our subordinates have always worshiped the ...... who stepped on the ground."

Without waiting for Huang Er to finish speaking, Mu Hou Ye stood up and kicked Huang Er is foot, and said, "Dog minion!" Pull me out and hit twenty boards! ”

Steward Cao hurriedly gave Mu Hou Ye a smooth breath and said, "Hou Ye, don't be angry, come on, drag this Huang Er out." ”
