"Miss, this is the soup that Mrs. Sui asked the slave to send you."

The watery servant looked at the face. I think it's the fourth aunt who invited me. Cen Muning agreed and let Qingli take the bowl.

"Thank you Fourth Aunt for me." She suddenly felt that this huge prime minister's mansion didn't seem to be her familiar home. Everything has changed here, and it's very strange.

In fact, since the mother is gone, all this should be different.

A table full of pastries, a dazzling array of them, are all Cen Muning's favorites.

"Thank you Uncle Yuan for preparing so many pastries for me." Cen Muning took a piece at random and put it in her mouth, ate it carefully, and then continued to ask: "These days, is the house too peaceful?" ”

"It's okay at last." Yuan Long sighed: "After the Guo family went, Xiangye thought that the passing year was unfavorable, so he helped the fourth aunt and wife to be the main room, saying that it was Chongxi." It's just that there is a funeral in the house after all, and there is no big deal. The family had a dinner together, and then they counted. Xiangye also specially instructed the servants not to let these little things disturb the peace of the eldest lady. ”

"I naturally understand my father's intentions." Cen Mu Ning said with a smile: "He is the most willing to worry about me." Are the rest of the people okay too? ”

While speaking, Cen Muning reached out to serve the bowl of soup.

"Miss, this is hot, let the slave blow it for you." Bingling hurriedly stepped forward to stop her from drinking.

"It's fine." Cen Muning didn't care much, just looked at Yuan Long and asked with some curiosity: "What's the difference between other people and things?" ”

"It's strange to say." Yuan Long couldn't help but worry: "The third lady has always been in good health, but since the eldest lady came out of the cabinet, she has been sick intermittently. I invited many imperial doctors to see if it didn't get better. Xiangye is worried. ”

"Wait a minute, I'll go see Mu Yuan." Cen Mooning glanced at Qingli.

Qingli understood, and immediately went out of the wing room and dispersed the house slaves who were waiting outside. "The princess needs to be quiet, and you don't need so many people to serve, you can do whatever you want. Don't get stuck in here, it's not ventilated. ”

"Yes."

As soon as the people dispersed, Cen Muning couldn't help but ask Yuan Long: "Uncle Long, where is the person named Bai Shuo that my father suspected of having an affair with my mother back then?" Why didn't he stand up and clear up the misunderstanding for his mother? Also, after all, my father is the prime minister, and it doesn't seem difficult to find someone. Why didn't this misunderstanding be explained until my mother died? In the past, I was not qualified to ask these questions, but now it is different. ”

Yuan Long's eyes flashed with a hint of sadness, he wanted to say something, but nodded hesitantly: "Actually, the minion didn't know what happened back then. It's just that one night before Madame's accident, a man dressed in white once sneaked into Madame's boudoir. It happened that the prime minister was discussing in the court and China that night and did not return all night. When he got up in the morning, the maid who was working saw the figure of the man in white leaving, and screamed, attracting the pursuit of the government soldiers. In the course of the fight, the man lost a concentric knot, which was identified as the lady's craftsmanship and ......"

Having said this, Yuan Long was still angry: "Madame is easy-going, always diligent, and by no means that kind of person." There must be some misunderstanding here. Mrs. also explained to Xiangye that she heard that the man in white was still Madame's senior brother, but no matter what, Xiangye didn't believe Madame's words. Within a few days, Madame had an accident......"

"Perhaps, he knew something and came to his mother." Cen Muning gasped and asked again: "My mother married my father when she was a teenager, and she has been teaching her husband and children in the Prime Minister's Mansion all these years, running the family business, where did she come from?" What schoolwork did my mother inherit when she was young? ”

"This ......" Yuan Long was asked, shaking his head again and again.

"The slave knows." Bingling hurriedly said, "It's pharmacology." ”

"Pharmacology?" Cen Muning couldn't help but nodded: "It's no wonder that my mother always says something with me that it is beneficial to eat together, and what you can't eat indiscriminately." It turned out that she had learned it deliberately. ”

"Princess." Qingli walked in, and said with a warm smile: "That fourth aunt and lady please go and visit the third lady." ”

"Good. I'll go. Cen Mooning got up with Bingling's hand: "Uncle Yuan, if you think of anything later, just tell me." ”

"Yes." Yuan Long couldn't help but snicker, it was finally time to clear his wife's grievances.

It's just that Bingling went and returned, neatly pulled off the silver hairpin on his head, and stirred it vigorously in the bowl of soup that the fourth aunt gave to the eldest lady. The silver hairpin didn't change color, but she still said to Yuan Long uneasily: "I'm sorry to pour this bowl of soup, don't give it to the eldest lady." Also, the food sent to the eldest lady must be carefully checked. ”

Yuan Long didn't ask much at all, so he nodded neatly: "Don't worry." ”

Bingling hurriedly went out at this time, wiped the silver hairpin with a silk, and put it back on.

"Mu Yuan." Cen Muning looked at her palm-sized face, anxious that a thin layer of skin was attached to the bones, there was no flesh at all, and she was distressed. "What's going on, how did Mu Yuan lose weight like this. Haven't all the imperial doctors been here, why don't you know how to treat her well? ”

When Sui Miao heard her ask, her eyes turned red: "Who knows what's wrong, a good child suddenly fell ill." Those imperial doctors used the most mild decoction, and it was useless to eat them. In the past two days, Mu Yuan didn't want to eat, let her eat something, let her eat something, not to mention how difficult it was. I'm also sorry for it. I vomit whatever I eat, and I feel uncomfortable watching it. ”

"Ugh." Cen Muning couldn't help but sigh: "Did she just take the medicine and fall asleep?" ”

"yes." Sui Miao's eyes were slightly red: "I am such a daughter, sick with her, and painful in my heart." I only hope that the heavens will have mercy. ”

"Fourth aunt, don't worry too much. Mu Yuan has a good body foundation since she was a child. With the right medicine, you should get better. Cen Muning couldn't help but say a few words of relief. Let's go back and let the other imperial doctors take a look. ”

As soon as her words fell, Yuan Long walked in. "Madame, eldest lady, this summer's clothes have been delivered, and I ask Madame to take a look. In addition, the jewelry commissioned by Baoyu Pavilion has also arrived, and it is waiting for Mrs. to accept it. ”

"Mu Ning, you go with me, you have a good eye." Sui Miao said with a smile.

Cen Muning was about to nod, but Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Yuan Long's unwilling eyes, so he smiled and said, "In the past, I sent clothes and jewelry from the house, and I liked to pick them the most." Now...... I'm already a daughter from a foreign marriage. I don't have my share of these, so let's go with the fourth aunt. Mu Yuan is quiet here, I want to spend more time with her. ”

"It's okay." Sui Miao glanced at the maid beside her: "Let someone accompany you to serve the eldest lady's tea." ”

"Yes." Qiu Ling hurriedly responded and summoned a little girl to come over. "Serve the eldest lady's tea well, don't slack off."

Cen Muning smiled slightly at the fourth aunt's wife, watched her go out, and then said to the little girl: "I'm just a little thirsty, and I'm not used to drinking tea." The fourth aunt asked someone to send me some honey in the room, you can go and soak a warm water for me. ”

"Yes, Miss."

Qingli didn't help her with her hands, so she said: "The honey is collected by the slave maid, and the slave maid leads the way for her." Please also ask the princess later. ”

"It's fine." Cen Mu nodded slightly, thinking that Qing Li was the person trained by Zhuang Chen, and he had a good look.

The slave still remembered how bright and lively the third lady used to be. This disease came like a mountain, and at this time he was emaciated like this. Bingling also felt sad when he saw it, and his tone was slightly hard. How can a good day be so hard. ”

As soon as she finished saying this, Mu Yuan on the bed sat up suddenly.

The sudden action startled Cen Muning, and she almost screamed. After settling down, she said happily: "Mu Yuan, you woke up, but did you have a nightmare?" Don't be afraid, sister is here. ”

"My mother killed Mrs. Guo." Mu Yuan stared at Cen Mu Ning with a pair of eyes, and said very hard word by word: "It was my mother who killed Mrs. Guo, I saw it, I saw it, she didn't let me say it, she didn't let me say it, she didn't let me say it, so she poured medicine on me." ”

"What?" Cen Muning thought that she was not lightly ill and began to talk nonsense. "Mu Yuan, you lie down first, and I'll call the imperial doctor for you."

"Don't." Cen Muyuan's head shook like a rattle: "Sister, you believe me, I will cut my throat and vomit all my mother's medicine before I can wake up." My mother asked me to shut up, but she wouldn't let me speak. ”

Bingling only realized at this time that the medicine that Qiu Ling and the fourth aunt said was not given to the eldest lady in the soup, but hugged her daughter. It's incredible. What's even more strange is why she killed Mrs. Guo.

"Mu Yuan ......"

"Sister, do you think I'm sick and confused, talking nonsense?" Cen Muyuan's eyes were big and round, almost protruding. "If you don't believe me, just go and see my mother's room. The eldest lady's things were all damaged by her. She actually really hates you. ”

Hearing a noise outside, Cen Muyuan immediately lay down, and the expression on her face was not visible at all, as if she had never woken up.

"Miss, your honey." The little girl came in with a lamp, her face gentle.

Cen Muning had a stalk in her heart, and she couldn't get over it easily.

Mu Yuan is the daughter of the fourth aunt's in-laws, she is such a daughter, will she really be ruthless to her daughter in order to keep her secret? Over the years, she has been gentle and kind, and has taken care of herself in every way, is it also a cover-up, just to achieve her own goals?

The heart was a little confused, and the honey just touched the lower lip flap gently.

"I'm tired and want to go back to the room to rest. Let's go Bingling. ”

"Yes, Miss." Bingling took the teacup and put it down, and helped Cen Mooning walk out slowly.

The two of them quickly glanced at each other and decided to go to the fourth aunt's wing, that is, the mother's wing.

"I hope it's just that Mu Yuan is sick and confused." Cen Mu Ning has seen a lot of repeated people's hearts, but she is very afraid that this repeated person is the fourth aunt and wife she trusts.
