Geng looked at Wu with a calm face: "Mother Wu, you have been in the palace for many years, and you know the etiquette rules best, you should know that a girl who has not been out of the cabinet must be cautious and disciplined in every word and deed!" ”

Wu hung his head: "Back to the old lady, now the lady of the third room has the final say, and the slave maid, as a subordinate, does not dare to meddle in the master's affairs at will." ”

"It's nonsense," Geng sneered, "She's a little girl who hasn't reached the end of her life, why should she have the final say!" The old man sees that you are really confused, and you don't even know the whereabouts of your own young lady, and you say what to take care of people, come to someone, and pull her down to the cane and punish her for twenty! ”

The surrounding mothers-in-law hesitated, this Mother Wu has a very special status in the house, and even the old lady gave her a little thin noodles, if she is scolded with a cane, how will she get along in the future?

Qi's cold eyes swept over: "I didn't hear the old lady's words, don't go quickly!" "With the experience of serving in the palace, this Wu family doesn't know how many tricks she has ruined, and she has long been unpleasant.

Wu was silent, and several mothers-in-law came to pull her, so she got up and followed, without the slightest intention of resisting and begging for mercy. Bizhu and the others were secretly anxious, seeing that the two mothers-in-law were about to fight down with a court staff, the gate of the garden was kicked aside.

"What are grandmothers and aunts doing in my yard?"

Mu Yunlan walked in step by step, and when she saw the Wu family who was pressed on the bench, her eyebrows suddenly wrinkled, and she pulled out a whip from her waist and whipped at the mother-in-law around her: "What a big guts, even my nurse dares to fight!" ”

"Presumptuous! I think you're so daring! Geng Shi snorted coldly, "Look at your appearance, where is there a little bit of the demeanor of a young lady of the family, someone is coming, and Mu Yunlan is tied up for me!" ”

Mu Yunlan shook the whip in her hand, and her aura was fierce: She wants to see who dares!

Geng's angry face turned red: "Evil barrier, what a evil barrier!" Well, my words don't work! ”

Mu Yunlan stepped forward to help Wu up, and then faced the angry Geng family: "Why is grandmother so angry, but what is wrong?" ”

Qi sighed: "Yun Lan, don't you kneel down and admit your mistake to your grandmother?" Your parents have just passed away, and you are during the period of filial piety, a girl is walking around in men's clothes, and she returns home so late, what is it like to be known, what is the face of my Mu family? ”

When Geng heard this, his attitude towards Mu Yunlan became more and more disdainful: "Your eldest aunt is right, you are now in the filial piety period, and it is not good to keep filial piety for your parents at home, but you go out to fool around, and the Lin family teaches a good upbringing!" ”

Mu Yunlan lowered her eyes slightly, and a fierce color flashed: "Grandfather, do you think so too?" ”

Geng and the eldest lady were startled, turned around and saw Mu Jianyu walking in, and hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Mu Jianyu looked at the messy yard, and his eyebrows furrowed: "What is this messing about?" ”

"Yun Lan, this girl is too disagreeable, she went out in men's clothes, and she didn't come back until now, and she didn't care about her parents' filial piety between her actions, she really didn't have filial piety. If such a move spreads, how should Qingyao, Wanyi and other Mu family girls deal with themselves? Geng's words were extremely painful.

Mu Jianyu's eyebrows furrowed even tighter after hearing this, and he looked at Geng's eyes a little more scrutiny: "Don't you know what day it is?" ”

The eldest lady Qi was stunned, the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, what day?

Geng's face changed, and his heart sank suddenly, the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month is the birthday of that slut, so many years, he still misses that slut, isn't he just a concubine, a concubine who has been dead for so many years is worthy of his concern?

"Old lady, what does it have to do with Mu Yunlan's going out today, is it ......" Geng's voice couldn't help but be a little sharper when he thought of this, and his eyes shot at Mu Yunlan with sharp eyes, "You went to worship the Xu family?" ”

Mu Yunlan's expression was calm: "Grandmother, it is understandable not to worship Aunt Tai in previous years, but this year my parents passed away, she is my father's biological mother, so I should tell her." Yun Lan was afraid that her grandmother would feel uncomfortable when she found out, so she picked a later time and disturbed you, but I didn't expect that you still knew. ”

Geng's fingers tightened, and her heart was choked uncomfortably, Xu's family, that is, Mu Zhengmin's biological mother is her heart knot, even if she has been dead for so many years, she still feels like a fish in her throat when she mentions it, Mu Yunlan's words directly hit her heart knot:

"It's already too late, you go to worship a dead man, it's very bold!"

"I'm worshipping my relatives, what's there to be afraid of, I came back late, but my grandmother and aunt bothered to wait for me here."

"You're lying!" Mu Qingyao couldn't help but speak, "You went out in the evening to wander the streets, when did you go to worship?" ”

Qi's face changed, and while grabbing Mu Qingyao, he glanced at her sternly: Shut up!

Mu Yunlan narrowed her eyes and looked at Mu Qingyao with a smile: "How does the eldest sister know that I am hanging out, did you send someone to follow me?" By the way, I'm strange, I went out quietly, no one was alarmed, how do you know I'm not in the house? ”

Mu Jianyu's face was also cold: "You guys are well-informed......"

Qi hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "Father Rongyu, this matter is also a coincidence, today my mother Qi in the room went out to buy, and happened to meet Yun Lan on the street, and thought it was a mistake, and said something to me." I was worried about Yun Lan's safety, so I told my mother and came over to have a look. ”

Geng nodded stiffly in agreement: "That's true." ”

Mu Yunlan nodded in understanding: "Oh, then I misunderstood my grandmother and aunt, since it's okay, then please go back and rest early, it's not too early." Tomorrow is the New Year, and I think there are a lot of things to be busy with. ”

"Yes, it's okay."

Seeing that the Qi family was leaving, Mu Qingyao was very unwilling, she thought about how to sue her cousin, how could she return in vain?

"Sister Yunlan, there is also a small Buddha hall in the mansion, if you want to worship in the mansion, why run out all the way, and it took nearly three hours to go." Mu Qingyao thought for a while, as if unintentionally, "Is this place of worship far away, why did it take so long?" ”

"The king knows why." A mellow voice sounded.

When everyone looked back, they were surprised that it was the eldest prince and the third prince.

The eldest prince, Yue Xiaoqing, lifted an altar and saw Mu Yunlan throw the jar over: "I promised it to you." After Mu Yunlan left, he asked the guards to go back to the house to get the wine jar, and he and Yue Xiaohan came just in time, which could be regarded as an excuse to enter the mansion.

Mu Yunlan raised her hand to take it, and gently patted the round belly of the wine altar, with a sincere smile in her eyes: "Thank you, eldest prince." ”

"You're welcome." Yue Xiaoqing looked at Yue Xiaojiao on the side, "Don't you also know the reason, explain it." ”

Yue Xiaohan nodded: "Miss Yunlan went to Xinglong Restaurant to buy wine, and we met her, and we talked for a while, delaying some time." ”

"What kind of wine do you buy?" Hearing Yue Xiaohan's explanation, Mu Qingyao felt uncomfortable in her heart, her cousin actually protected her!

Mu Yunlan glanced at Mu Qingyao strangely: "Don't you know that your grandfather likes the Jiuzhuchun of Xinglong Restaurant the most?" This year's early spring, this batch of Jiujiuchun is of the best quality, just in time for the Chinese New Year, I bought it for my grandfather. ”

Mu Qingyao's face turned red and white, and he bit his lip slightly and said, "I naturally know......"

Yue Xiaohan swept the jar held by Mu Yunlan, and didn't know why he always felt unpleasant: "Yunlan, Luofuchun's winemaking is too strong, it's not suitable for you to drink, I have a batch of fruit fragrance in my house, I'll send you some in two days, don't be greedy." ”

Listening to his gentle advice, Mu Yunlan couldn't help but tremble, and looked at him strangely, inexplicably good to her, what bad idea was it?

Mu Qingyao's face turned pale when she heard this, and she looked at Yue Xiaohan with tears and tears, looking heartbroken.

Mu Jianyu saluted the two princes: "Let the two highnesses see the joke, it's all a misunderstanding, the old minister asked people to prepare some refreshments, let's talk in the front yard." ”

Yue Xiaohan nodded, and was about to leave, but saw Qingsleeves and a few other maids walking over quickly, holding a tray covered with a red cloth, and kneeling in front of Mu Jianyu with a puff: "Old lady, you can't go!" ”

Mu Jianqi frowned: "What's wrong?" ”

Green Sleeves held the tray high above his head, hanging his head and not speaking.

The eldest prince, Yue Xiaoqing, raised his hand to uncover the red cloth, and sighed softly: "If you are not mistaken, this should be the magpie Dengmei entangled vase given by the emperor, why is it broken?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the garden was suddenly silent, and the people lowered their heads one after another, even holding their breath.

Mu Yunlan raised her eyebrows: "I remember that this vase is not properly placed in my room, who broke it, this is a felony of contempt for the emperor!" ”

Qi's heart jumped, and her cold gaze suddenly swept over Mu Yunlan's face, she wanted to frame herself!

Qingsleeve and the others looked at the eldest lady, and she almost couldn't help but make a sound when she saw it, before she moved to the maid beside her: "It's Lu'e!" ”

Lu E's face turned pale, and seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on her, she almost couldn't help but faint: "No, it's not me, I didn't touch anything in Miss Four's room at all!" ”

Qingsleeves looked respectful: "Old lady, Lu E led people into Miss's room, saying that she was looking for someone, but it was like copying a house, even the quilt on Miss's bed was shaken open to check, Miss's room slave maid and others have not moved, if you don't believe it, you can go in and have a look." ”

"No, it's really not a slave, the old lady knows that the slave has 10,000 guts, and he doesn't dare to break the things given by the emperor."

Green Sleeves stopped talking, but lifted the tray upwards.

"Shut up!" Qi Shi burst out suddenly, interrupting Lu E's continuous begging for mercy, "You made a mistake, and you still don't admit it!" ”

Lu E is her most powerful personal maid, she has been with her for nearly six years, Mu Yunlan has seen the right time to cut off her arm alive!

Lu E was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned pale and sweated like pulp: The eldest lady is going to abandon her......

"Madam, Madame, the slave and the maid did not break the things given by the king, and the slave and maid did not ......"

Mu Yunlan stepped forward and fiddled with the porcelain fragments, and sighed slightly: "Lu'e, with so many pairs of eyes watching, can you still be framed?" As a slave, no one will frame you with a royal gift......"

Qi stepped forward and knelt in front of Mu Jianyu: "Father, it's all the daughter-in-law's poor discipline, which made Lu'e cause a big disaster." ”

Mu Qingyao also hurriedly knelt beside her, but her eyes were more and more cold, and the pear blossoms brought rain to Chu Chu pitiful.
