The rain lasted for half an hour, and after half an hour the clouds cleared and the river returned to calm. The three-story passenger ship set sail under the shouts of the ship's boss and slowly headed towards Yangzhou Mansion.

For a few days, Mu Qingling was a little stunned, unable to distinguish the reality of the dream. I woke up in the middle of the night, and my thin bedclothes were soaked with cold sweat.

Yunqiao only thought that Mu Qingling was too worried because of his father's death, and he was more careful and cautious in serving and accompanying him every day.

Mu Qingling couldn't break free from the cold fear of death and the resentment and unwillingness to know the truth, and she couldn't sleep peacefully every night, but after two or three days, her already thin body was visibly reduced with the naked eye.

"Girl, there are two days to go to Hangzhou Mansion, you don't think about eating and drinking every day, it is difficult to sleep peacefully, how can people rest assured." Yunqiao put the freshly boiled soup in Mu Qingling's hand and said softly.

Mu Qingling came back to her senses, looked at the small white porcelain bowl on the table, and said slowly: "There are still two days?" ”

Yunqiao nodded and responded: "The weather has been good in the past two days, the boat boss is sailing smoothly, and it is expected that he will be able to arrive in Hangzhou Mansion in two days, girl, although the lord is gone, but he has a lot of thoughts about you over the years, you are so careless about your body, how can the lord walk at ease?" ”

The news that he would arrive in Hangzhou Mansion in two days was like a thunderbolt, waking Mu Qingling up from his nightmare.

She spent a few days in ignorance, but she didn't want time to pass quietly, if she continued to take care of herself and be depressed like this, wouldn't she have to be the same as in her previous life, let others take care of it.

Since God let her live again, how could she waste such an opportunity in vain?

"Cloud Bridge." Mu Qingling stretched out her hand to grab Yunqiao, raised her eyes to look at this maid who had been with her since she was a child, the blankness and confusion in her eyes were completely gone, and there was a lot of brilliance that people couldn't distinguish for a while.

Yunqiao looked at Mu Qingling, and only felt that for a moment, the person in front of him was reborn.

"Do you believe me?" Mu Qingling looked at Yunqiao and asked, Yunqiao was stunned for a moment, and replied: "What does the girl mean by this, Yunqiao has been by the girl's side for more than ten years, and Yunqiao will believe whatever the girl says." ”

Mu Qingling smiled slightly, in her previous life, Yunqiao withstood everyone's criticism and ridicule, and stayed by her side until she sent her away forcefully, at that time, Mu Qingling already felt that her limit was approaching, and she couldn't bear to let Yunqiao stay in Yufu to be humiliated, so she sent her away first.

Unexpectedly, on the night Yunqiao left, the scoundrel slipped into the courtyard where she was being held......

Thinking of the events of his previous life, Mu Qingling's eyes were a little colder, and the hatred and murderous aura that burst out surprised Yunqiao, Yunqiao hurriedly squatted down, held Mu Qingling's knee with one hand, and said eagerly: "What's wrong with the girl?" But what did Yunqiao do wrong? ”

Mu Qingling looked at Yunqiao and smiled, and said comfortingly: "No, our Yunqiao is very good." It's someone else who is at fault. ”

"Someone else?" Yunqiao was puzzled, Mu Qingling nodded, and the gentleness in the face of Yunqiao gradually disappeared, and said in a cold voice: "Yunqiao, what if someone wants to kill me?" ”

"Who ......" Yunqiao was shocked, and as soon as he was halfway out of his exclamation, he was covered by Mu Qingling, Mu Qingling said: "I don't want to believe it, but there are people in this world who have such wolf hearts and dog lungs, and they are not as good as animals." ”

Yunqiao pulled down Mu Qingling's hand, and was surprised: "Who is the girl talking about?" ”

Mu Qingling looked at Yunqiao, smiled coldly, and said, "My good aunt, the wife of the Yu Mansion, Xu Zhi." ”

Seeing that Hangzhou Mansion was close at hand, Yu Wenyuan felt that the pressure on his body was a little lighter.

Standing on the deck and confirming the rest of the distance with the ship boss, Yu Wenyuan thought that he heard from Yunqiao in the morning that Mu Qingling's spirit was much better, so he walked to Mu Qingling's cabin, in the end, it was his cousin, although he was not very close on weekdays, but on the way to her father's funeral in Hangzhou this time, Yu Wenyuan inevitably felt a little more pity for this orphan girl.

As soon as Yu Wenyuan walked to the door, he heard the conversation between Mu Qingling and Yunqiao coming from inside.

Standing outside the door of someone's house and listening to the conversation of the master's house, Yu Wenyuan couldn't do it in normal times, but Mu Qingling's words from the master and servant made his hand knock on the door stop.

"Girl, after all, Young Master Wen Yuan is the son of the big house, how can this title of Duke Jingyong go to the head of the second room?" Yunqiao asked suspiciously.

Mu Qingling sighed faintly and said, "Silly girl, the wealth of your own money is moving, not to mention the hereditary title. The second aunt has been in charge of Jingyong's mansion for many years, the power and wealth in the mansion, and the music of others has been welcomed, and he has enjoyed it for so many years, if it were you, would you be willing to give up? He will split up one day, and An An will move out of the house separately to be the wife of a six-rank petty official who doesn't even have a command? ”

Yunqiao didn't understand the trick yet, and said: "But now the title belongs to the eldest master, and the eldest lord has a son, how can there be a reason in this world not to pass on a son but to a younger brother." Even if the second wife has this thought, she can't do it, right? ”

"You only say that the title belongs to the big house, which is justified, but how do you know, this Duke Jingyong is different from other families, and the Duke and Viscount next to him, if the successor is guilty of this house, and the disaster is bad, this title will be gone, and it will not fall to others. can bear the hereditary reckless four words, as long as the bloodline of the old prince is still there, this title is still there, if it is...... Isn't this location the second room? ”

These words are heart-wrenching, that is, Mu Qingling has hidden the key, and Yu Wenyuan outside the door is also like being struck by lightning, and his whole body is cold.

Why did Mu Qingling say this? What did she find? Or did she already know something?

"That's it, you and I can't protect ourselves, worry about what others do......" Mu Qingling sighed again, her words choked.

Yunqiao was surprised: "Why did the girl say this, even if the second wife really ...... That, that's also a matter between her and Dafang, she has always loved you, and she will not ......"

"Silly girl" Mu Qingling smiled bitterly: "You only know that my second aunt loves me, but you don't know that I have set up a dangerous wall." ”

Mu Qingling's eyes were stained with tears: "Mu's lineage has always been thin, since my mother went, there are only me and my father left in the house, my father served as the governor of Jiangnan, he was already busy with official business, and later he was also weaving in Suzhou, and he had no time to take care of me. But, no matter what, I still have a home. Now that my father is gone, I no longer have any relatives of the Mu family, although there are still people in the clan, but in the end they are only side branches...... Yunqiao, do you know that in this world, for women, the most poisonous is the word "no household". ”

Mu Qingling's mouth became more and more bitter: "A desperate girl, a desperate wealth, is coveted." What's more, the Mu family's wealth is different from other families, the ancestors of the Mu family are the military generals who were knighted for merit when the dynasty was founded, although it is not as honorable as the hereditary replacement of the ancestors of the Yu family, but it is also rewarded with a huge net worth when conquering the city, and the Mu family is weak, and the generations are single, since the ancestors have made meritorious contributions, the Mu family has never divided the family and property, and the marriage correspondents are either rich or expensive, and the Mu family motto is to cultivate the body and accumulate blessings, and the most taboo is extravagant. ”

"Although the Mu family is not prosperous, it can be called a large number of talents, and there are often high-ranking officials. As for my father, he was the governor of a province, with great power, and he also took the position of weaving. ”

Mu Qingling paused, "The four major benefits of the world's businessmen, salt, tea, silk wine." With my father's power as governor and weaving, I dare not say anything else, in the territory of Jiangnan, there are many people who want to sharpen their heads and show their faces in front of their fathers. Not to mention anything else, the string of carmine pearl necklaces in my box, and the set of golden pearl heads that I presented to my grandmother when I entered the Jingyong Mansion, were the birthday gifts that my mother had taken advantage of when she was still in the silk business in Jiangnan to take advantage of her mother's birthday to go through the door of the Hangzhou prefect and present it to our house. When it was brought to Jingyong's mansion, the Xu family praised and praised, and when the eldest girl in the second room came out of the pavilion, she still remembered it, and wanted to buy some decent and special dowries for the eldest girl.

Mu Qingling smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that I was young and reckless, so I didn't understand the meaning of Xu's words, I just thought that the two sets of pearl heads were my mother's favorite things during her lifetime, and I and my grandmother each kept one as a memory." Presumably, since then, Xu has secretly scolded me in my heart for not knowing how to lift up, and not flattering her majestic wife. Yunqiao saw that his girl had said this for a long time, and hurriedly refilled a cup of tea for the girl. Mu Qingling pinched it in his hand and drank it slowly, "The Mu family has accumulated for several generations, and the wealth is huge, there are few people who can not be moved, in the future, I will take the Mu family's net worth into the Yu Mansion, do you still have a moment for us to see the light of day?" ”

"Yes...... But......" Yunqiao was also panicked when Mu Qingling said it, "But the old lady is still there!" With the old lady here, she will never let you be wronged! ”

Yu Wenyuan, who was outside the door, was shocked by Mu Qingling's heavy thoughts, and at the other hand, surprised that she was thinking far-reaching. Mu Qingling's astonishing words made him unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood for a while, and he didn't know how to react. There was a sound of footsteps in the cabin, someone was coming this way, and Yu Wenyuan hurriedly left in front of Mu Qingling's room.

As soon as Yu Wenyuan left, the conversation between Mu Qingling's master and servant in the room also stopped. Yunqiao opened the hatch and looked at it, and caught a glimpse of Yu Wenyuan's clothes disappearing around the corner, before closing the hatch and returning to Mu Qingling's side.

"Gone?" Mu Qingling asked, Yunqiao nodded, and said, "Girl, what you just taught me...... Is it all true? Mu Qingling put down the teacup in her hand and said lightly: "Naturally, it's true, she used to only think she was a good person, so she didn't doubt it." Now that I think about it, there are actually traces everywhere. ”

"I know you still don't believe it, I think Xu has loved me for many years, and you won't be so ruthless. But Yunqiao, if you think about it carefully, since I entered the Yu Mansion, it was just a typhoid fever, and everyone up and down the mansion knew that I was weak and sick. Although she asks for warmth on weekdays, you count, how many times has she taken me to the back house party in Beijing in the past two years? In front of many ladies and ladies, did she say again and again that I was not in good health and had been pampered in the house? Mu Qingling said slowly.

Yunqiao has always been by Mu Qingling's side on these occasions, and when he thinks about it, it is really like this every time. In the past, I only felt that the second wife felt sorry for Mu Qingling, and I couldn't bear her to be tired, and I couldn't bear her being wronged. But now that I think about it, all the ladies present are well-known ladies and ladies in Beijing, in the eyes of these people, the image of their own girl who is delicate and frail, and lingers on the sickbed all year round, is it really good for Mu Qingling?

A little more heart-wrenching, anyway, everyone in Beijing knows that Miss Mu is not in good health, if this is really bad that day, and she returns to the West, no one will feel strange, right?

Yunqiao only felt a chill jump from the center of his feet, and half of his whole body was numb. If Mu Qingling didn't see it herself, if it was...... There's really no place to die.

Mu Qingling let out a long sigh, not to mention Yunqiao, if it weren't for hearing the Xu family confide in her various evil deeds in her previous life, she didn't want to believe that her uncle who loved her so much, she was so vicious inside. But it's finally different, in the past, she was a fish and a man, and when she understood it, she was already weak, and now she has taken the lead before everything has started, and the victory or defeat has been reversed.
