Chapter Ninety-Six: Leave No Stone
In June, the weather was already hot, but not so hot that it could make people feel depressed.
But the earl's lady of the Earl's Mansion was furious at this time, holding a fan and fanning it non-stop.
This Guo Xiaoniang actually dared to threaten her!
Want her daughter to be a big lady? Bah! There are no doors.
A chill flashed in the earl's eyes, and she said to herself, "In that case, don't blame me for leaving no room for it. ”
***
Two hours ago.
Pyeongchang Marquis Mansion, Lingxin Pavilion.
Guo Xiaoniang sat on the edge of Mu Ningmeng's bed with a tired face, looking as if she had aged several years all of a sudden.
"Mother, Meng'er doesn't want to be a concubine." Mu Ningmeng cried.
Guo Xiaoniang said distressedly: "Meng'er, your fever has not been easy to retreat, don't cry." ”
Mu Ningmeng gritted her teeth and said, "Mother, if I am asked to be a concubine, Meng'er would rather die." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, if you die, what should my mother do, my mother won't allow you to do such a stupid thing." Guo Xiaoniang's voice trembled a little, "Meng'er is good, my mother will find a way, there will definitely be a way." ”
"What else can be done, my father has already made a decision with my uncle and aunt." Mu Ningmeng said with tears in his eyes.
Guo Xiaoniang thought about it: "My mother has already thought of a way. ”
"What's the solution?" Mu Ningxuan's eyes widened, eager to know.
"Your uncle and aunt are unkind, so don't blame us for being unjust. I'll send them a letter and tell them that if they don't let you be a good lady, I'll shake out all the things they've planned! Now that the situation is unstable, once the matter of their defection to the King of the Three Jin Dynasty is discovered, if the queen mother knows, she will definitely trouble them in the Earl's Palace. Guo Xiaoniang boasted of being smart.
Mu Ningmeng burst into tears and laughed, and said to Guo Xiaoniang: "It's still my mother's way." ”

"Master Muhou, the little one was ordered to arrest Guo Xiaoniang from your mansion." Yacha bent down and arched his hand.
Mu Hou Ye was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know what Guo Xiaoniang has done, why are you arresting her?" ”
"Back to the Hou Ye, a few years ago, there was a tragedy in the capital, and we pursued it for several months without success. Just yesterday, we finally caught the murder suspect, according to the murder suspect's confession, he has no grudge against the family, he was instructed to take other people's money to kill. Under the repeated questioning of our lords, we learned that the person who spent money to hire him behind the back was Guo Xiaoniang from your mansion, so our lord asked me to wait for Guo Xiaoniang to come to the Hou Mansion to ask what was going on. Yacha said truthfully.
Mu Hou Ye really couldn't believe that Guo Xiaoniang would do such a thing as hiring a murderer, why did she kill someone, who did she kill?
No matter whether Guo Xiaoniang really did such a thing or not, if she was really allowed to go to the Yamen Court, the Hou Mansion would inevitably lose face.
Mu Hou Ye asked a few yacha to drink tea for a while and wait a little longer, and then asked Steward Cao to go to Yuqian Xuan to take Guo Xiaoniang and the two handmaidens of the Lu Li family and Chunyan who served her side to the study together, and he wanted to ask a good question.
As soon as she entered the study, Guo Xiaoniang noticed that the atmosphere was wrong.
"Did something happen to Master Hou?"
"Get on your knees!" Mu Hou Ye said with a dark face.
Guo Xiaoniang was a little inexplicable, she didn't know what was going on, she slowly knelt down, and asked, "Why is Master Hou so angry, did the concubine do something wrong?" ”
Mu Hou Ye said coldly: "Let me ask you, did you instruct the hired murderer?" ”
"Murder?" Guo Xiaoniang was slightly stunned, "Master Hou, where did you start with this, how could the concubine instruct someone to kill someone, who is framing the concubine?" ”
Guo Xiaoniang's first reaction was Mu Ningxuan, Mu Ningxuan asked Cai Yan's mother to take away, she must have met Cai Yan, knew that Feng's mother's family was killed, and probably knew that her mother was poisoned.
But Mu Ningxuan just knows what to do, Mu Ningxuan has no evidence to prove that the death of Feng's mother's family has anything to do with her Guo Xiaoniang.
Mu Ningxuan pulled Cai Yan as evidence to sue Hou Ye, Cai Yan is Mu Ningxuan's mother's personal maid, Hou Ye will definitely not believe it, she will not admit it to death.
"The yacha has come to the door, will it be framed?" Mu Hou Ye said angrily.
"Yacha?" Guo Xiaoniang doesn't know why, could it be that Mu Ningxuan went to the yamen?
