Volume 1 The Orphan Girl of the Imperial Capital Chapter 124 A Night of Whiteness
This night, the entire Mu family was quiet, as if it had merged with the heavy night.
Mu Yunlan returned to the room and looked in the direction of the front yard, feeling uncomfortable for a while.
"Yun Lan." Yue Jingxuan walked in, with a trace of sweat on his forehead, obviously in a hurry all the way.
"Uncle Huang," Mu Yunlan looked up at him, trying to pull the corners of her lips, wanting to show a smile, but it was even more ugly than crying.
Yue Jingxuan stepped forward, took her into his arms, and patted her on the back like coaxing a child: "It's okay, you did a good job." ”
Mu Yunlan leaned on his arms, breathed in the cold fragrance on the tip of her nose, and rubbed his clothes:
"Today, my grandfather looks uncomfortable, he tried to suppress it, but his fingers trembled so much, after leaving, he didn't dare to look back, as if there was something behind him that he was extremely afraid of, he fought all his life, and in his old age, he should have enjoyed the joy of family, but he was forced to face such a bloody and tragic reality."
"It's Mu Zhenglin and Qi's fault, you just exposed the truth, and it has nothing to do with you."
"But if it weren't for me, he would not know it for the rest of his life, at least he would be able to live in peace." Now, how should he face his son and face the Mu family beyond recognition......
"Wei Guogong is not so fragile, he can bear it." Yue Jingxuan gently rubbed her hair, felt a tide on her clothes, and couldn't help but feel more and more distressed, Yun Lan, this girl, can see many things very clearly, but she retains a sense of innocence, she only thinks that good people deserve the best reward, but in the world, simple good people can't live......
After a while, Mu Yunlan calmed down, raised her head and showed a smile at Yue Jingxuan: "I'm fine, Uncle Huang." ”
Her eyes and the tip of her nose were red, and her voice was still a little hoarse, but her smile was much better than before.
Yue Jingxuan didn't demolish her either: "Well, I'm so tired today, how about you rest with me for a while?" ”
Mu Yunlan was dragged to the side of the bed, and the two lay on the bed side by side, quietly closing their eyes.
After a while, Mu Yunlan turned over and opened her eyes: "Uncle Huang, what are you doing, why are you so tired?" ”
"I'm going to arrange some things, I'm very tired, stop talking, hurry up and go to bed."
"Oh." Mu Yunlan put her arm under her head, looked at the top of the bed curtain quietly for a while, and slowly bit her lip, "But Uncle Huang, I can't sleep a little." ”
After a while, she didn't get Yue Jingxuan's return to the camp, she turned her head to look, only to find that Uncle Huang had closed his eyes, his breathing was very steady and soft, and he seemed to be asleep.
Mu Yunlan glanced at her mouth, inexplicably felt a little aggrieved, turned over and hugged his arm in her arms, rubbed it gently, sniffed, and fell asleep in a daze for a long time.
Yue Jingxuan opened his eyes, stretched out his hand to cover his chest, coughed twice in a suppressed manner, his face was snow-white, and seeing that Mu Yunlan showed no signs of consciousness, he breathed a sigh of relief, gently hooked the corners of his lips, and kissed her on the top of her head.
The next day, when Mu Yunlan was awake, the sun was already very high, and there was no Yue Jingxuan by her side as usual.
Qingsleeve heard movement in the room, walked in with a basin of water, saw Mu Yunlan's somewhat red and swollen eyes, and silently handed over a cold handkerchief to help her apply her eyes:
"Miss, the slave didn't come to see you when she saw that you slept late. The second lady sent someone over, and the slave replied that you hadn't woken up yet, so the man left without saying anything. ”
"Well, I know, I'll ask my second aunt when I go to Qinghe Garden later."
"Yes." Qingsleeve helped her coil up her hair, and opened the jewelry box to reveal the layers of hairpins inside, "Does Miss still wear the white jade and red begonia hairpin from yesterday?" ”
"Hmm." Mu Yunlan nodded, watching the hairpin being inserted into her hair, under the black hair, the red begonia flowers became more and more delicate and bright, and she couldn't help but relax a little, "Qingsleeves, you ...... Did you know last night...... What about grandfather? ”
Green Sleeves looked at her face carefully, not knowing how to answer.
"It's okay, you just say it, if you don't say it, I'm even more worried." Mu Yunlan saw her body and said with a smile.
"Last night, when the old lady returned to the front yard, she locked herself in the study, and the candles in the room were lit all night, and she has not come out until now."
Mu Yunlan felt a sour feeling in her heart after hearing this: "Oh, you go and ask Bizhu, what are the medicinal foods for nourishing the body, make some, and I'll send them to my grandfather." ”
"Okay."
After eating a little simply, Qingsleeve brought the medicinal food prepared by Bizhu over, Mu Yunlan touched the lid of the food box, and hesitated a little: "Qingsleeve, you should send something to your grandfather." ”
Qingsleeves nodded hurriedly: "Okay, miss." ”
"Wait," Mu Yunlan stood up and took a deep breath, "Forget it, I'll go by myself." If her grandfather is still angry, then let her grandfather scold her, beat her twice, and let her anger come out, it will be much better.
Carrying things to the door of the study, Mu Yunlan knocked lightly on the door: "Grandfather, I'm Yunlan, I'm here to bring you something to eat." ”
The room was silent, and there was no sound at all.
Mu Yunlan bit her lip and didn't make any more sounds, just stood straight at the door, waiting for Mu Jianyu to speak.
After about half an hour, Mu Yunlan's feet were numb, and there was finally movement in the study: "Come in." ”
Mu Yunlan hurriedly pushed open the door and went in, walked in for less than two steps, suddenly stopped, and tears fell down suddenly without warning: "Grandfather......"
In the study, Mu Jianyu sat behind the bookcase, with a slightly yellowed picture scroll in front of him, his expression looked very calm, but his hair was as white as snow.
White-headed overnight......
When Mu Jianyu saw her appearance, he couldn't help but chuckle: "You girl used to always cry, and grandfather always thought, when you don't cry so much, you just grow up." But when you really grow up and don't like to cry anymore, your grandfather thinks the price is too cruel, and I wish you were still the same crybaby......"
"Grandfather," Mu Yunlan felt as if there was a lump of cotton in her throat, suffocating and uncomfortable, "I'm sorry......"
"Silly boy, what's the matter with you," Mu Jianyu slowly stood up and looked at the food box in his hand, "Come and bring food to the old man?" ”
"Yes, I asked Bizhu to make medicinal food, Bizhu's craftsmanship is good," Mu Yunlan hurriedly opened the food box.
"I thought you did it, but I'm looking forward to it."
Mu Yunlan hurriedly wiped her tears: "I also want to do it myself, but my craft, after you eat it once, I'm afraid that you will have to be declared a doctor." ”
"Haha." Mu Jianyu chuckled, "It's okay, you do it another day, grandfather brought Chen Ming here, his medical skills are better than those old things in the Tai Hospital." ”
Mu Jianyu tasted a mouthful of medicinal food and couldn't help nodding: "It tastes really good." ”
Mu Yunlan stood on the side, quietly waiting for him to finish eating.
Mu Jianyu took a sip of tea and rinsed his mouth: "Okay, grandfather is fine, you can go back." ”
"Grandfather, I'm fine anyway, I'll accompany you."
"Go and see your grandmother, and after reading it, I will send someone to send you to the Lin Mansion."
Mu Yunlan's eyes were red again, and tears were pouring down: "Grandfather, don't you want to see me?" ”
"Silly boy, you are my own granddaughter, the only daughter of Zhengmin, how could my grandfather not want to see you, it's just, next, our Mu family will have some changes, so as not to implicate you, so let you go to the Lin Mansion, isn't it in the Mu family, grandfather wants to see you, won't you come?"
"How so."
"Isn't that it?" Mu Jianyu thought about it and took the picture scroll on the table.
On the picture scroll is a beautiful woman holding a fan, looking at it with a gentle smile.
"This is your own grandmother, and the only thing she left in the world, grandfather is useless, he has no face to face her anymore, so I will give you this painting, keep it well, if it is ......" Mu Jianyu said, and suddenly smiled, "It's nothing, it's okay to keep it as a souvenir." ”
"Grandfather...... Are you really okay? Mu Yunlan always felt relieved.
Mu Jianyu touched her head, smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, what can happen to grandfather, okay, go back." ”
Withdrawing from the study, Mu Yunlan was even more uneasy, walked to no one's place, and called Jiang Ju out: "Master, how about you follow your grandfather these days?" ”
Jiang Ju held the sword in his arms, and did not open his mouth to refute her master, but hesitated and nodded: "Okay." ”
"Thank you, Master."
Giving the food box to Qingsleeve and taking it back, Mu Yunlan went directly to Qinghe Garden.
Geng was lying on the bed and scolding: "What about Qi, the old body is sick now, doesn't she take my mother-in-law in her eyes?" ”
Mother Luo stood silently aside, silent.
Geng's scolding was even more energetic: "I also said that I came out of a big family, and I didn't talk about the rules at all, such a daughter-in-law didn't take a break directly, not filial, unfilial!" ”
"Grandmother doesn't have to be busy, the eldest aunt is sick, haven't you heard?" Mu Yunlan walked in and looked at Geng's eyes cold, she really couldn't imagine that this grandmother was also involved in her father's death!
Geng Changming, now he is also the second grade of official residence......
Seeing Mu Yunlan, Mother Luo's heart trembled, her knees were weak, and she couldn't help but plop and kneel on the ground: "Fourth Miss......"
Geng's eyelids jumped: "You old slave, you are confused, what are you doing kneeling her?" Stand up, stand up for me! ”
"Mother Luo's new master is over, so naturally she has to find another person to rely on." Mu Yunlan looked at Geng's family, "Grandmother, you should thank me, if I hadn't stopped it, you would have died a long time ago." ”
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Geng's eyes widened.
"Am I talking nonsense, don't you just ask Mother Luo next to you?" Mu Yunlan found a stool to sit down and beckoned the little maid on the side to pour tea for her.
