"I see." Pei Xin was relieved, remembering the turmoil at today's banquet, and laughed out loud again, with a look of respect: "At Mrs. Chen's banquet today, Miss is really impressive. Not to mention Mrs. Chen's praise, the slaves and maids all admired the young lady when they saw the full house! However, is it true that jade can ward off disasters? ”

Mu Yunge chuckled: "How can there be any disaster, it's just a legend!" ”

"What does the young lady say...... Pei Xin wanted to speak and stopped, she was not as smart as Pei Ying, it was really incomprehensible.

Mu Yunge sighed and patiently explained to her: "Things are not as simple as you think, do you think the hosta broke by chance?" Let me ask you, who bought that whole set of jade ornaments? ”

Pei Xin replied honestly: "His Royal Highness King Yu." ”

"Where did you buy it?"

"Hatred of the Jade Boat."

"What does the enemy family have to do with our Mu family, and is there any hatred?"

"Master Qiu went to the capital with the master to run for the leader of the Chamber of Commerce, and secretly poisoned the master in a vain attempt to poison the master." This Pei Xin still knows.

"Since there is a feud, how can I let the enemy be safe and sound?"

"Miss has long said that she will retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, so naturally she will not let go of the enemy. So the slave maid can't figure it out, if she really doesn't let go of the enemy, today at the banquet, the young lady can preach that the enemy's jade boat has produced inferior goods, full of noblewomen, and it will spread all over Jinling in less than two days, and then she will not worry about the hatred and will not go out of business. Pei Xin was confused by her question.

"And then?" Mu Yunge raised his eyes to look at her: "Once everyone knows about this matter as you said, the Qiu family will also know that the Mu family is behind the ghost, and he can bite back, saying that the Mu family is jealous and deliberately ruining his reputation." The Hou Mansion is a famous nobleman, and the broken hosta is naturally to be discarded, and without evidence, the Mu family will not be pleased. ”

Pei Xin was stunned for a moment, and she couldn't pick up the conversation.

Mu Yunge said again: "But now everything is different. Mrs. Chen loves Shuhan, and will definitely keep it properly as Shuhan's hairpin to ward off disasters, and the guests all know that the jade of Qiu Ji is spiritual jade, and from tomorrow, Qiu Ji will definitely be full. Let's just let them be proud for a while, or in a few days, all kinds of problems will appear with the jade that customers get in their hands, and the trouble of revenge will really begin. At that time, the guests will wonder if they are buying spiritual jade or inferior products. If there is any dispute, what does it have to do with our Mu family? If you really want to trace back to Mrs. Chen's birthday banquet, then it is not made by hair: the hair ornament was bought by His Royal Highness King Yu, broken in Mrs. Chen's hand, and I am also the one who helped them speak, and it is the customer who accuses them of revenge, and our Mu family is not related. If he really doubts us, no one will believe it, and he will only treat the enemy as a jealous and deliberately framed Mu family. First, the goods cannot be trusted, and then the character is questioned, if the Qiu family Yufang can finish this summer, I won't call Mu Yunge! ”

As soon as Mu Yunge stepped into the attic, he saw Wei Shi leaning against the window, holding the "Notes on the Water Classic" that she had studied in recent days.

Pei Xin lowered her head and pursed her lips with a light smile, and bowed out smartly.

"When did you come?" Mu Yunge sat down beside him, pushed the dim sum that Sister-in-law Zhang had made earlier, and pouted with a frown: "You drank so much wine at the banquet, can you eat some plum crisp?" ”

Wei Shi took a piece and put it in his mouth, the sweet and sour was very delicious, not inferior to the Jade Building in Beijing, and praised it without hesitation: "This snack is good, where did you buy it?" ”

"I can't buy it, it's made in a small kitchen." Mu Yunge smiled: "If you like it, I'll ask Pei Xin to pack it for you when you leave later, and you can take it back to eat." ”

It was rare for her to be so docile and considerate to Wei Shi, Wei Shi only felt that her heart was about to fly to the sky, and her temperament was unbearable, so she reached out to shake Mu Yunge's hand: "Yun'er is really virtuous, and even such a trivial thing has been thought of for me." ”

Mu Yunge happened to raise his hand to support his forehead, avoiding his hand, Wei Shi smiled, no matter how thick-skinned Rao is, he was rarely presumptuous in front of Mu Yunge, he immediately withdrew his hand, scooped up a piece of plum crisp and put it in his mouth, and said vaguely: "I didn't talk to you much at the banquet, and I didn't see you look at me twice, and when I left, I asked the guards to tell me to invite me to listen to Fengzhu, Yun'er, I'm so sad!" ”

Mu Yunge was annoyed and angry, and glanced at him: "You can't stop your mouth with so much food?" ”

The candlelight is faint, her eyes are rippling, the water is shining, and the corners of her mouth are lightly hooked as if she wants to say goodbye.

Wei Shi's bones were half crispy, his breathing was half a beat, and it took a long time before he smiled: "What can be blocked is the mouth, of course you don't have to say it; What can't be blocked is the heart, and I can't help but want to lean on you! ”

After getting along for a long time, Mu Yunge already knew very well about the person in front of him, he had a poor mouth, and the more he took care of it, the more he had no tricks, so he simply didn't bother to pay attention to him, and when he ate two pieces of plum crisp and drank half a cup of mung bean soup, he said: "Okay, I invite you to come today because I want you to help." Do you remember Lu Lingxuan? I want you to take me to the Lu family! ”

"I knew it was drudgery." Wei Shi grinned: "You went to the Lu family for her marriage?" ”

That being said, Mu Yunge has a hard job, and the first thing that comes to mind is always him. Once she realizes that she is her reliance and choice, no matter how hard and tired she is, her heart is also very sweet.

"So, is it true that you are married?" Mu Yunge's eyebrows sank slightly, and his voice was also a little chilly.

Wei Shi smiled: "It's true, the wedding date is set, just at the end of May." ”

"Let's go, let's go to Lu's house." Mu Yunge stood up, things had exceeded her expectations, she couldn't wait to see Lu Lingxuan and listen to Lu Lingxuan's thoughts.

Wei Shi immediately grabbed her waist and clasped the person tightly in the crook of his arm. The two stepped on the window, and left the Mu family in a few ups and downs. At this time, in the dead of night, Wei Shi did not pick up the main road to walk, and chose the remote rooftop to jump vertically and horizontally, deliberately showing his proud light skills. Mu Yunge pursed his lips, allowing him to show off.

This time is different from the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the night view of this Jinling is also quite fascinating, knowing that he has taken some long detours, Mu Yunge only does not know.

It had been half an hour since the two of them arrived at Lu's house.

Mrs. Lu's illness is getting worse and worse, and Lu Lingxuan has moved from her own courtyard to Mrs. Lu's courtyard to take care of Mrs. Lu nearby.

The two entered the main courtyard, only to see that there was no one in the huge courtyard, the sound of water dripping under the eaves was clearly audible, and it was pitch black everywhere, only a little faint light came from the bedroom, and Mrs. Lu's painful cough was faintly heard.

The main courtyard was depressed to this point, Mu Yunge couldn't help but feel related, asked Wei Shi to wait outside the house, and quickly pushed the door inside.

There was not even a slave or maid in the main house, and there was not even a candle in the outer room, Mu Yunge touched into the inner room, and saw Mrs. Lu leaning on the side of the bed with her back to her, and was holding a spoon to feed Mrs. Lu to drink, Mrs. Lu drank two sips with a spoon, and immediately lay on the side of the bed and vomited upside down, waving her hand weakly: "Ling Xuan, put it down...... Mother can't drink it! ”

Lu Lingxuan put the bowl on the small stool next to the bed and patted her back to smooth her breath.

Mrs. Lu gasped for a while, raised her head and saw Mu Yunge, she was stunned, immediately looked left and right, and found that no one had patted Lu Lingxuan's hand.

Lu Lingxuan followed her gaze and turned around, and was surprised to realize that it was Mu Yunge, and immediately got up and strode up to meet her and held her hand: "Yunge, how did you get in?" ”

The candlelight was faint, and Mu Yunge saw Lu Lingxuan's appearance clearly at this moment, and couldn't help but gasp.

The spring night was cold, Lu Lingxuan only wore a single shirt, the palm holding her was a little bruised from the cold, and the hands that were once as white as porcelain were so thin that they were skinny and bone-like, and there were spots of blood and old wounds. When Mu Yunge came, he had already seen that there was not even a girl in this courtyard, and he wanted to come to his aunt to be mean, but now the life and living of the main courtyard are all controlled by Lu Lingxuan's hands, no wonder his hands are unrecognizable. Looking up from the palms of both hands, there were traces of blood on the forearms, and the strips seemed to have been beaten by whips; The most shocking thing is Lu Lingxuan's head, with four or five bruises crisscrossing her slender neck, even her cheeks and chin are bruised, bruised and swollen, and her beautiful face is a little hideous.

Mu Yunge involuntarily held her palm hard, and said urgently, "What's the matter with your injury?" ”

"It's fine." Lu Lingxuan hurriedly suppressed her words, pulled her sleeves down, covered her wrists, and angrily snorted in the direction of Mrs. Lu: "Why are you here?" ”

Mu Yunge knew that she was unwilling to worry Mrs. Lu when she heard it, and then changed her words: "I jumped from outside the wall." Last time I came from the main gate to ask to see me, I was stopped by your Aunt Yin, I really didn't worry about you, so I thought of this method. ”

Lu Lingxuan sighed, lowered her eyes and suddenly lit up: "Yunge, since you are here, can you ......?"

"I know." Mu Yunge pulled her to Mrs. Lu's side, stretched out her hand to check her pulse, and said while diagnosing, "I came this time to see Mrs. Lu's illness." ”

Lu Lingxuan nodded again and again, choked up, "Yunge, I really don't know how to thank you." How is my mother's illness? ”

"Didn't you continue to eat the recipe I prescribed last time?" Mu Yunge took the pulse for a while, let go of his hand and asked.

Lu Lingxuan's eyes were red, and her tears fell quickly and urgently: "I have been eating for a while, and my mother's body has gradually improved, but somehow the news leaked, and Aunt Yin knew about it." She said that the medicine of the Lu family had been stored for too long, but she was afraid that it would be moldy and unusable, so she searched all the medicines in the main courtyard, and I didn't know what ecstasy soup she poured into my father, and my father listened to her more and more, so he grounded me in this courtyard, and the girls around me and the girls in the main courtyard were sold by her for various reasons, and I could no longer get some medicine from the outside to raise my mother. ”

"What about your brother and brother?" Mu Yunge was angry when he heard this, remembering that Lu Lingxuan's elder brothers loved their sister quite much, and their younger brothers were also very obedient, so he asked hesitantly.

Lu Lingxuan's eyes suddenly turned cold: "They? Don't mention it. ”

If it weren't for her mother's serious illness in bed, if it weren't for Aunt Yin's strength, how could she see the true face of her father and these brothers? Counting on them is nothing more than a sudden increase in sadness and pain.

"You just tell me how long my mother will live!" Lu Lingxuan took a deep breath, pulled her to the outhouse, and stared straight at her.
