Chapter 97 Cousin Mu Yunge
"I thought I was going to die this time, but just as I was about to fall, a hand grabbed me firmly.
I looked up in horror and could only recognize a young man, with a snow-proof face scarf over his face, lying on the edge of the cliff, holding the rocks on the edge of the cliff with one hand and hanging me with the other.
My feet were dangling in the air, shaken by the cold wind, and my desire to survive was so desperate that I stretched out my other hand with all my might to grab his sleeve.
Xu was in a hurry to exert too much force, grabbed his sleeve and pulled it hard, and actually tore off half of his clothes, only to see that on his right chest, there was a black dragon beast.
Unfortunately, he pulled me up and left, and I was so distraught that I forgot to ask him what his name was, and I only remembered that my savior had such a mark.
Until the night, the masochist girl accidentally ripped open the placket of the boy's clothes, revealing a dragon and beast tattoo, and I was sure that he was the one who saved me back then. β
Su Qi finished speaking in one breath, picked up the teacup to moisten his throat, but listened to Huang Siniang say leisurely: "So, how do you plan to repay the grace of saving your life...... Pledge in person? β
...... by example Promises? Su Qi suddenly thought of Mu Yunsong, who looked displeased, and shuddered, "Just make a promise, after all...... He's a broken sleeve, so naturally he likes men, so it's not good for me. β
Huang Siniang's face was full of disappointment: "If you don't promise each other, then what kind of favor do you repay?" β
Su Qi sighed at the superficiality of her best friend in her heart, "Repaying the favor may not be a personal promise, you can also give him what he wants, or fulfill an unfulfilled wish or something, to name a few." β
After she explained, she was worried about holding her cheeks in her hand: But how can I know what Dingyuan Hou Helianyu wants?
There is no hurry to repay the favor, Su Qi still has a tricky matter at the moment.
The next morning, Su Qi went to Lanxin Garden to find Mu Yunxuan, and was when she came out of Aunt Hui's room.
"How's your mother doing?"
Mu Yunxuan shook her head gloomily: "It's not very good, I'm still asleep." Her bright eyes were devoid of brilliance, and there was a faint bloodshot, obviously because of the resentful spirit, she couldn't sleep well for the past two days, "I'm worried that the resentful spirit is still haunting my aunt......"
"Don't worry about this, I've got a solution." Su Qi handed two freshly baked charms to Mu Yunxuan, "Paste this charm on the lintel and window lattice of Aunt Hui, and the resentful spirit will naturally not dare to come again." β
Mu Yunxuan took it and looked at it, but saw that on the yellow straw paper, a Xuanyao pattern was printed with red cinnabar, which was also vivid.
"Isn't this the Xuanniao on my eldest brother's heirloom jade pendant?"
She recognized her...... Su Qi coughed lightly with some embarrassment: she thought about it for two days, but she didn't remember how to draw the spell of the ghost exorcism, and last night she suddenly thought, "Your Xuanniao Jade can ward off evil spirits, so it should be no problem to imprint it on the charm and use it to scare ghosts." β
Mu Yunxuan obviously believed it, and hurriedly instructed the maid behind her to take the charm to paste, and sincerely pulled Su Qi's hand: "My aunt's matter, thank you for your trouble, thank you......"
Su Qi was about to say that he didn't have to be polite, but he saw Mu Yunxuan suddenly look at the sky and pat his head, "Oh, I just want to talk to you, I'm afraid I will delay the time to say goodbye to the princess's mother!" As he spoke, he was about to run, but he remembered something, "You're not my eldest brother's fiancΓ©e?" It stands to reason that you should also go to the princess to say goodbye, let's go together! β
Please...... Quiet? Su Qi pouted secretly: Sure enough, there are a lot of rules in the courtyard of the deep house, thinking about the two meetings with the old princess, they are not pleasant, and I was looking for an excuse to avoid this trip, but Mu Yunxuan couldn't help but hold her hand and ran away.
The two ran all the way to Xihuayuan, where the old princess lived, and saw a group of maids and wives waiting at the door. Pulling Su Qi and rushing into the house.
But I heard someone behind me calling: "Xuan'er! β
Mu Yunxuan's feet froze, and Su Qi stumbled, almost falling to the ground, just glanced at her dissatisfied, but saw Mu Yunxuan's expression, which was really strange.
"Cousin......" Mu Yunxuan quickly squeezed out an embarrassed smile, let go of Su Qi's hand, and turned around to meet him.
Su Qi turned his head curiously and saw a beautiful woman coming, her goose-yellow dress fluttering on her slender body, quite a bit of Xizi's delicate beauty.
"Look at you, you're running with beads of sweat, and your aunt will talk about you again in a while." The beauty who was called her cousin by Mu Yunxuan was disgusted in her mouth, took out a plain gauze handkerchief to wipe the sweat on Mu Yunxuan's forehead, and only after wiping it did she see Su Qi standing not far away, "Who is this girl?" β
"Oh, she'......" Mu Yunxuan's face became a little more embarrassed, "She's Su Qi." β
The cousin looked at Su Qi twice with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said with a smile: "Miss Su is a friend of my Xuan'er?" β
Su Qi was thinking about whether she and Mu Yunxuan were friends, but she saw Mu Yunxuan stomping her feet suddenly, with a look of "long pain is better than short pain", "Cousin, she is the fiancΓ©e that my eldest brother brought back from outside!" β
As soon as she said this, Su Qi saw the gentle smile of her cousin, and immediately froze on her face.
"When...... Seriously? β
Su Qi saw that his cousin was holding a handkerchief and covering his heart, looking like he was about to faint in minutes, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart: There is a big problem here!
Thinking of this, she simply took a few steps closer, and pretended to say to Mu Yunxuan senselessly: "I don't know what to call this young lady?" β
Mu Yunxuan obviously also saw her cousin's gaffe, and felt that she was a little difficult to be a person in the middle, so she said weakly: "This is my aunt's daughter, Mu Yunge." β
"It turned out to be Miss Mu Jia's cousin." Su Qixiu raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "We met in the early days, please take care of me in the future." β
But she looked at Yun Ge's eyes when she looked at her, with a sad look of hatred and hatred, obviously not planning to take care of her more.
"Xuan'er......" Mu Yunge suddenly turned around, "I...... I'm sick today, so I'm sorry for you to say hello to my aunt for me. β
After that, he held the maid's hand and ran away.
Su Qi looked at her back as if she was being chased by a ghost, and said deliberately: "Your cousin, you are very sudden." β
"She ......," Mu Yunxuan sighed helplessly, "I can't accept it for a while." β
I was afraid that she would not be able to accept it if she thought about it again, Su Qi pursed her lips, and suddenly thought of a question: "Since she is your aunt's daughter, why is her surname Mu?" For this aunt Mrs. Mu who lives in the palace, Su Qi has always been unclear.
"My aunt is the younger sister of my father, who married into the Anguo Mansion when she was young, but she was married for only three or four years, and soon after giving birth to my cousin, Anguo Gong died unexpectedly. My aunt was the eldest lady, but she had no son under her knees, so she was ostracized by her mother-in-law when she was widowed in the Anguo Mansion, and her life was extremely unsatisfactory.
Later, my father learned of this, and he was really angry. He has doted on this sister since he was a child, and where can he tolerate her being angry at her in-law's house, so he personally came to the door to pick up his sister and her daughter, which can be regarded as breaking off in-law contact with the Anguo Mansion.
In order to reassure my sister, my father simply changed her daughter Meng Ge's surname to Mu, and called her Mu Yunge according to the seniority of our generation, and only raised her as a young lady in the palace...... Oh, I'm just talking to you, please settle down and it's getting late! β
Then he took Su Qi's hand, sped up his pace and ran into the main hall, and saw that the old princess was sitting idly on the soft collapse of the camphor wood carving, Mrs. Mu sat aside, and the rest of the daughters-in-law, concubines, and housekeepers were all standing at the bottom, and a group of people were chatting about homely things.
"Daughter, please come late, please mother forgive your sins!" Mu Yunxuan pulled Su Qi to salute the old princess.
"Ten times to say goodbye, you are late nine times, this girl is getting more and more unruly."
The old princess was disgusted in her mouth, but she had a doting smile on her face, and said to Mrs. Mu beside her: "My family spoils her, and I marry into my mother-in-law's family in the future, shouldn't people say that I have no way to teach my daughter behind my back?" β
Mu Yunxuan secretly stuck out her tongue, but stepped forward and grabbed the old princess's arm and coquettishly: "I don't want to marry, if I get married, who will make my mother happy every day?" β
"You, just have a good mouth, and when seven or eight needlework masters run away, why don't you know how to say two good words and coax them?" The old princess took Mu Yunxuan's hand and sat down next to her, "Your aunt has been better these two days?" β
Speaking of Aunt Hui, Mu Yunxuan's eyes darkened, "Still unconscious, fortunately ......"
Before she finished speaking, she listened to Su Qi's two light coughs very deliberately, and then remembered that Su Qi had agreed with her that she had yin and yang eyes and could see ghosts and gods, and she couldn't talk about it to anyone, not even her eldest brother, so she changed her words with a whim, "Fortunately, you have a mother who thinks about it every day, and my aunt's current breath and pulse are stable." β
The old princess patted her hand and persuaded: "The so-called illness comes like a mountain, and the illness goes like a thread, and there is no urgency." Then he turned his head to Yuelong, who was standing behind him, and said, "The thousand-year-old mountain ginseng in my room, you send it to Aunt Hui, and when she wakes up, she will replenish her body." β
After explaining, I turned around, and suddenly realized that there was still a helpless Su Qi standing in the hall.
Looking at her full sweat and somewhat messy hair, the old princess couldn't help frowning, she couldn't look at this wild girl from an unknown source.
However, she couldn't just be clubbed under everyone's noses, the old princess coughed lightly, and said to Su Qi: "Just now Mu Zhong came to report to me, you are still living in the guest room, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, let's move to Yunshui Pavilion today, and then assign a few maids to you." β
Maid's subordinate? Watching by a crowd, how will I sneak out in the future? Su Qi subconsciously waved his hand and refused: "Don't, that, thank you for the kindness of the princess, but I think the house I live in now is already very good, and I can take care of myself." β
As soon as she finished speaking, she caught a glimpse of half of the old princess's face twitching again, and Mu Yunxuan beside her was desperately giving her a look.
This old princess, I'm afraid I'm going to get facial paralysis? Su Qi thought to himself.
Seeing the displeasure on the old princess's face, Mrs. Mu had to say goodbye: "This is what Bo Han meant, Miss Su doesn't have to excuse herself." As he spoke, he instructed a housekeeper, "Why don't you take Miss Su to see the residence?" β
Okay, okay, all of you speak better than I do. Su Qi didn't want to continue chatting in this embarrassing place, so he followed the housekeeper out of the main hall.
Seeing her leave, the old princess Fang sighed, frowned and shook her head, "How can there be a little bit of everyone's beautiful appearance...... What did my son like about her? β
