Chapter 18: Trouble Comes Again
Mu Yu came depressed, but he didn't want to return with surprise.
Outside, she still suppressed her thoughts, and when she went to the upper room to see Shen Mei, she couldn't help it, and sent the maid down and threw herself into her mother's arms with a sly smile, "Grandmother said that my body is not comfortable and I have no spirit to teach me, mother, are you ......?"
Before the words were finished, Shen Mei covered her mouth lightly, "What a stupid girl, your grandmother is not in good spirits, you should worry about her old man's body, and hope that she will get better soon, do you know?" ”
Know! You have to save face and not be caught. Mu Yu smiled secretly and tightened his expression, squeezing out a worried look, "Mother, I understand, I'm very worried, but my grandmother didn't see me, so she just called me over when she had the spirit." ”
Shen Mei poked her forehead in disgust, "Then you should be more cautious in your words and deeds, don't let down her old man's teachings in the past few days." ”
"Got it, mother."
No need to ask, Mu Yu has also confirmed that the matter of sending Mu Liangxuan to the academy is inseparable from her mother, probably the kind of "you grind my daughter, I will send your grandson away", see who will give in first.
The result is obvious, it is the old lady who can't hold on.
She's really capable.
Thinking of this, a thought suddenly popped up in Mu Yu's heart, and he couldn't help but say: "Mother, I heard that the academy is very good, since Brother Xuan is not going, can you send Brother Ning there?" He loves to study very much, and now the gentleman in the house has not taught well at all, isn't it for nothing to delay people. Besides, send Brother Ning away, so as not to let Brother Xuan trouble him again and cause trouble. ”
Shen Mei was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.
Chongning's life experience, Hou Ye was able to support him because of his father's kindness, how could he send him to the academy. There are many people in the academy, and maybe one day someone will break his life experience. Although the Xie family was only suspected of collaborating with the enemy and was not convicted, who knows what words will come out of this word of mouth, in case it spreads to the palace again......
The more Shen Mei thought about it, the more worried she became, and looked at her daughter, "Yu'er, you have been sensible a lot these days, so my mother will whisper to you." Chongning Xu is a good boy, but it is rare that he is from his background, the Xie family...... It's a big trouble, and we can't afford it. Raising him until he reaches adulthood and then leaving is already benevolent and righteous, and the Hou Mansion next to him will not do it and cannot do it. Even if it is you, don't talk and ask more questions in the future, and don't get into trouble because of him. If you can't do it, don't say your father, even your mother can't spare you! ”
Mu Yu was stunned.
She also guessed that the Xie family might be different, but she didn't want things to be like this, and looking at her mother's fierce appearance, she was afraid that it would be more serious than she thought.
I didn't dare to ask more, and if I asked her, my mother wouldn't say, Mu Yu should go down and turn back to Qinchun Garden.
After thinking about it for a long time, she decided to follow her mother's wishes, talk less and ask less about Big Guy Xie, and all kinds of care in the secret will be stopped. If there is no big event, calm down and wait for him to leave the house, and it is the best result to be a stranger in the future.
Although the big guy has a bright future, it's not something that mortals like her can afford, so don't waste your efforts and make it self-defeating.
……
The days came to the seventh day of the seventh month in a blink of an eye.
Although there are few girls in the Hou Mansion who have not left the cabinet, Mu Yu is deeply favored by her father and mother, and she will have fun in her house every year on Qixi Festival.
Mu Yu had never experienced it before, and it was very interesting when he thought about it, so he changed into new clothes after dinner and followed Shen Mei to the courtyard, and put on seasonal melons and fruits to worship the sky. After that, I watched Mama gather the maids to beg and fight together in the yard, threading needles and threads, and chattering and making noise.
When the crowd was having fun, Mu Heyun suddenly walked in. His brows were furrowed, his face was full of anger, and he ignored no one and went straight into the room.
Seeing this, Shen Mei hurriedly dismissed his subordinates, ready to ask what happened.
It only took a moment to go from lively to deserted, Mu Yu was a little worried, and hesitated behind her mother, "Mother, why is Dad angry?" ”
Shen Mei found out that her daughter was still there, and hurriedly comforted her: "Yu'er, your father may be unhappy about the things on the side, you go back to the yard first, and then talk to your mother when you go back, ah?" ”
Mu Yu answered, and prepared to go back obediently. Her father was not happy, so let her mother coax her, she stayed in the way.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Mu Heyun's voice came from inside, "Madam, Yu'er, you come in." ”
The mother and daughter at the door looked at each other and entered the house together in confusion.
As soon as he sat down, Mu Heyun said with a gloomy face: "The rumor is not small now, and you can listen to some things." ”
Hearing this, Mu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and if she heard that it was none of her business, then listen, "Yes, Daddy." ”
Mu Heyun gritted his teeth and said about a pickled incident that happened in the house.
It turned out that the concubine in the second room was called Mu Xin, taking advantage of the busy house on the night of today's Chinese Valentine's Day, she boldly and secretly bought the mother-in-law at the second door to lead the lover to a private meeting, but unfortunately she was bumped into by Mu Qingmu River in the third room, and somehow the two parties quarreled.
Fortunately, the matter was discovered and sealed by the housekeeper in time, and he first locked those people in the wing room without alarming, and then immediately reported to Mu Heyun, so that he didn't make a big deal about it, otherwise the face of the mansion would be lost.
Mu Yu was dumbfounded when she heard it, this sister in the second room looked at the weak Liu Fufeng and was honest and timid, she really didn't expect to be able to do such a thing......
Shen Mei's face sank like water, forcibly suppressing his anger, "Who is the adulterer?" ”
"I have been interrogated with my second brother, and it is said that there is only a poor scholar with a widowed mother, and when Xin'er went to the temple outside the city to offer incense in the spring of last year, she met once, and then she has been teaching each other privately, and it didn't take long for the two of them to ......" glanced at Mu Yu, Mu Heyun whispered a few words from between his teeth, "and there was a beginning and an end." ”
He claimed that he intended to go to the Hou Mansion to propose marriage afterwards, but before he could make the trip, he heard that Xin'er had made a marriage and would marry in the coming year. He knew that there was no hope and wanted to give up, but he received a letter from Xin'er inviting him to meet. Since then, the two have never broken off contact, and today ...... He said that Xin'er took the initiative to invite him to come and leave the Hou Mansion together. ”
Shen Mei sneered: "What kind of scholar, he is obviously a scoundrel, not only occupies Xin'er's body, but also coaxes her to leave the mansion, I am afraid that when she gives birth to a bad seed, she will use it to blackmail the Hou Mansion." ”
Mu Heyun sighed and didn't refute, obviously he thought the same.
The room was dull for a while, Shen Mei glanced at his daughter, and said, "Can you hear the rumors clearly?" ”
Mu Yu nodded stunned.
Seeing her helpless appearance, Mu Mei's heart softened, and she pulled the person into her arms and taught earnestly, "The most important name of my daughter's family, your sister Xin will not only ruin her reputation if she does such a bad thing, if the matter is leaked, it will not only be a shame for the Hou Mansion, but also a drag on your reputation." Let others think that this is the upbringing of the girls in the Hou Mansion, who will dare to marry the Hou Mansion in the future! ”
Stroking her daughter's hair, she glanced at Mu Heyun, and said, "Your father has worked hard and doesn't want to hide this matter from you, so that you can know the seriousness of the matter in your heart, and you must not make mistakes in the future." You probably understand? ”
This time Mu Yu really understood, she nodded vigorously, "Mother, don't worry, I know the severity." I couldn't help asking, "What will happen to Sister Xin?" ”
A cold glint flashed in Shen Mei's eyes, "Send her to the family temple to treat her leniently." ”
Isn't that not forgiving...... Mu Yu shuddered, not daring to think about it anymore.
Shen Mei patted her lightly, "Good rumor, don't be afraid, you go back to the courtyard first, and then my mother will talk to you later." ”
Mu Yu was sent back to Qinchun Yuan by the maid, and he was still thinking about it all the way, and his mood was very complicated. Although she knew that Mu Xin might implicate her reputation, she didn't resent it, she just felt that the other party was stupid, and the man was too inferior.
However, she still believes in her mother's methods, and the house will not leak this matter.
Mu Yu thought that this matter would end soon and had little to do with her, but she didn't expect things to change.
"What do you say? The second aunt wants to give Sister Xin to Brother Ning? In the afternoon of the next day, Mu Yu had just returned to Qinchun Yuan when he heard such incredible news from Biyue, a gossip expert.
Biyue hurriedly said: "Miss, you keep quiet, don't let others hear." I heard the news from the second room, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”
"You've heard about it, doesn't that mean that many people in the second room know about it?"
"This ......" Biyue thought for a while and said, "At least the maids around the second lady know, and others may not." ”
Mu Yu's face was ugly and silent.
That means that the second aunt does mean this, but isn't this bullying? Mu Xin is like that, and it has to be given to Big Guy Xie, is this looking for death or looking for death?
She really has a headache, a sore footache and a pain all over her body, why is there always trouble to find Big Guy Xie?
Exhaling deeply, Mu Yu tried to stand up calmly, "I'll go to the room and have a look." ”
Biyue didn't dare to stop it, so she had to follow closely.
When I arrived at the upper room, it happened that the maid said that the second lady had just come and was talking to the lady, and persuaded Mu Yu to go back first.
Mu Yu was even more uneasy when he heard this, so he simply took advantage of the maid's unpreparedness and ran directly around her and into the house, pretending to know nothing and threw himself into Shen Mei's arms, "Mother, you said that you accompanied me last night but didn't come, and you are nowhere to be seen today, the rumor misses you." ”
Shen Mei suddenly felt guilty, she thought that her daughter would definitely be frightened when she heard about Mu Xin, and she planned to patiently talk to her. Unexpectedly, Mu Xin's matter was not so simple to deal with, and she had not found time until now.
Glancing at the second lady who was ignored by Mu Yu and looked embarrassed, she had to say: "Silly girl, don't patronize and be coquettish, and don't give your second aunt a greeting." ”
Mu Yu got up slowly and blessed his body, "I was in a hurry to find my mother, I didn't see the second aunt, the second aunt is not strange." ”
The second lady said again and again: "Don't blame it, don't blame it, get up quickly." ”
said perfunctorily, then stopped paying attention to her, and said directly: "Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't know how powerful I have to intercede for that dead girl, but she has always been well-behaved and most loved by our second master. No, let me ask my sister-in-law for a favor and give that girl a way out. ”
