When they arrived in the hall of the West Courtyard, the daughter-in-law and young lady of the Mu family sat at a table, while the two princesses were invited to the main table and sat with a lady with a prominent status.

"Here, Xuefu, you love crab paste, and I made it this morning." Shen Ruoshui picked up a large piece of crab roe with chopsticks and put it in Mu Xuefu's bowl, with a kind smile on his face, and personally scooped a bowl of sour bamboo shoots and duck soup and handed it to Mu Yurong, "I heard your father say that you have loved to eat sour food since you were pregnant, and this sour bamboo shoots with this duck soup are in line with your taste and nourishing your body, you can drink it best." ”

"Even their sisters' preferences are so fine, it can be seen that Mrs. Mu really has a heart." Mrs. Gongxinbo, who was sitting at the same table, looked at Shen Ruoshui's appearance left and right, and secretly pursed her lips, with a little mockery, "But the crab meat is cold, I'm afraid it's not good to eat it in this winter." ”

The smile on the corner of Shen Ruoshui's mouth froze, looked at her coldly, and said, "It's just a piece, it's not a big deal." Besides, there is warm wine with it, which is enough to relieve the coolness of the crab meat. ”

"You're in good health, don't eat this, I think the pigeon meat is good, you can taste it." Mu Yurong sandwiched a piece of pigeon meat and put it on Mu Xuefu's plate, without giving Shen Ruoshui any face. And the duck soup that Shen Ruoshui served her did not move at all.

Shen Ruo's water surface was dull, and it took a long time to pull out a stiff smile, and said: "It's because I didn't think about it, just thinking about Xuefu's love to eat, but forgetting that she is just in good health, and it is not suitable to eat such cold things." ”

"It's okay, Madame is busy, there is always something that can't be taken care of." Mu Xuefu looked at her changeable expression with a smile and said.

Someone saw that the atmosphere was a little cold, and hurriedly came out to play a round, "Xiangye's birthday, it is Mrs. Mu who is busy and busy, and it is normal for people to make omissions." Take today's feast, it is really hard for the lady to remember the taste of this person and know the preferences of that person. If it were me, I don't know what it would be. This person is Shen Ruoshui's sister-in-law, so she will naturally help her speak.

Seeing this, everyone changed the topic one after another, but a pair of eyes shuttled between Mu Yurong, Mu Xuefu and Mrs. Mu with a tentative gaze. In their hearts, they were secretly speculating about the attitude of these two princesses towards Shen Ruoshui, how could this stepfamily get along with the original child.

After a somewhat embarrassing banquet, Shen Ruoshui took everyone to the outer courtyard to listen to the play. The stage is above the main hall, and below it are various square tables, separated by high rosewood side seats with a hundred flowers and screens, separating the male and female guests.

The stove was all over the room, and it was also warm, Mu Xuefu and Mu Yurong sat at a table, listening to the play while talking about themselves.

This piece of music is "Five Women's Birthday", which really meets the five daughters of the Mu family. Mu Xuefu picked up a piece of peach blossom cake and took a bite, and said, "Why didn't you see that Mrs. Wen?" "This Mrs. Wen is Mu Zhaolin's fifth aunt, and she has always been a favored person, although she does not have the right to be fed, Shen Ruoshui does not dare to underestimate her. And because she is very loved by Mu Zhaolin, everyone respectfully calls her Mrs. Wen.

"I heard that I was sick, and I was afraid that I would bring bad luck to the birthday banquet, so I didn't attend." Although Mu Yurong left the Prime Minister's Mansion, she has always kept her eyeliner, and most of them know what is happening in the mansion.

Mu Xuefu glanced at Shen Ruoshui, picked up the corner of her eyes, took another bite, and said, "I said, otherwise how could she not come out to steal the limelight on such a day." ”

"Mrs. Wen is favored, other aunts are not fuel-efficient lamps, and Shen Ruoshui's life is not easy. I have to worry about my children and deal with the women in the house, and I see that she has fine lines at the corners of her eyes. Mu Yurong snorted lightly and glanced at Shen Ruoshui mockingly.

As he was talking, suddenly a person came in from outside, walked up to Mu Zhaolin and whispered two words, after listening, Mu Zhaolin suddenly got up, his eyes were red, his chest was constantly rising and falling, and his face was extremely ugly. He arched his hand at everyone and said, "I'm sorry, I can't help it, there are some urgent matters at home today, and it is inconvenient to keep you." Mu is very grateful that everyone can come today, and he will invite you again in the future. ”

The adults were stunned for a moment, and then they were all wondering what had happened to make Xiangye close the door. But the people here are all knowledgeable people, and after some scenes, they all left.

The originally lively birthday banquet suddenly became a lot colder, Shen Ruoshui looked like he didn't know why, walked to Mu Zhaolin's side, tugged at his sleeve, and asked with concern, "What happened to the master?" ”

Mu Zhaolin's eyes narrowed, shook off her hand, ignored the presence of the two princes, and snorted, "It's not that you don't govern your family strictly!" With that, he left the hall angrily and headed for the southwest corner. As soon as he left, the people of the Mu family naturally followed, and they all left one after another.

Mu Xuefu thought about it and was curious, this Mu Zhaolin has always been a person who is moody, what made him so angry today? She looked sideways at Mu Yurong, "Let's go take a look too." ”

Mu Yurong nodded, took King Rui's arm and followed the person who left.

It's just that Mu Xuefu's brows are frowning tighter the more she goes, and this direction is obviously where she lives in the Prime Minister's Mansion. And this is indeed the case, the group followed Mu Zhaolin to the Yufu Pavilion.

At this time, there were already subordinates guarding the door handle in the Yufu Pavilion, but there were women's pants and men's low roars from inside, and everyone knew what kind of scene was going on inside.

Yufu Pavilion is a forbidden place in the Prime Minister's Mansion, except for Mu Zhaolin, Mu Zemao and Mu Yurong, no one is allowed to enter. But for so many years, people have come here every day to disturb her, so that Miss Sheph can come back to live at any time. Even if she got married, Zuo Xiang still asked her subordinates to come and clean every day.

Originally, the people who cleaned up here should have come early in the morning, but because today is Xiangye's birthday, the house is too busy, so they will come to clean when the distinguished guests listen to the play, but they don't want to come here to hear such a voice. It is a taboo for someone to break into the Yufu Pavilion, not to mention that if he does such a reckless thing here, the next person will naturally report it to the Xiangye.

"Open the door to the prime minister, the prime minister wants to see who is so bold and dares to break into the Jade Fu Pavilion and do such a shameless thing!" Mu Zhaolin's forehead was cracked, he glanced at Mu Xuefu, pointed to the door, and shouted loudly.

Mu Xuefu's anger burned her reason out, and before Mu Zhaolin's words fell, she directly kicked the door open, raised her feet and walked inside, but was pulled back by Jing Rongyi's hand.

"You let go of me!" Mu Xuefu glared angrily at the scene that was pulling her, snorted, shook him off vigorously, lifted her skirt and entered the house.

The woman on the bed was first dragged back to reality by Mu Zhaolin's shouting, and then she heard the sound of kicking the door, and she was a little sober, until she saw the man on her body clearly, and a terrible scream of "ah" came out. She pushed the man away, dragged the brocade quilt on the bed to cover herself, her eyes were full of confusion and fear, and she pointed at the man tremblingly, "You brute, I am your aunt, you dare to do this to me!" ”

The man also seemed to wake up from a dream, shook his still awake head, rubbed his temples, and said in a low voice: "What kind of place is this, how can I be here?" ”

With a "clang", Mu Xuefu slammed the bedroom door open, her chest continued to rise and fall, wringing the cold air like a storm, looking at the two figures behind the layers of gauze tents with gloomy eyes, but she stood at the door and did not walk in.

"Who?" The woman saw someone standing at the door, and asked in horror, when she saw that it was Mu Xuefu and Mu Zhaolin, who had already entered the door, her heart was like ashes, and she trembled slightly: "Xiang-Xiang-Xiangye." ”

When he heard the scream, Mu Zhaolin had already heard who it was, he first shook his body, his eyes flashed with irrepressible anger, as if there was a fireball in his chest, he crossed Mu Xuefu, walked to the bed, waved his hand and pulled down the bed curtain, when he saw the man and woman clearly, the fireball in his chest instantly jumped to the top of his head, first slapped the woman in the face, and roared and scolded: "Slut! Another kick kicked the man off the bed, "Rebel! ”

It turned out that these two people were none other than Mu Zhaolin's concubine, Mrs. Wen, and Mu Qiudi, the fourth son of Mufu.

Mu Qiudi was kicked down without a single inch on her body, and Jing Rong quickly took Mu Xuefu into her arms and covered her eyes, "Don't look at it." ”

Mushev didn't move, she didn't struggle, but her constantly shrugging shoulders showed how angry she was.

Mu Qiudi's biological mother, Aunt Song, looked at her son in shock, covered her mouth that was about to scream, and shook her head. She couldn't believe that her son had done this, and she could imagine the situation of their mother and son in the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future. Reacting, she rushed in, hugged her son, picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on for him, and then knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Mu Zhaolin, "Xiangye forgives sins, Xiangye forgives sins, no matter how you say that Di'er is also your biological flesh and blood, it is your son!" His expression changed instantly, he pointed at Mrs. Wen, his eyes were fierce, and he said loudly: "Di'er won't do such a rebellious thing, it must be this slut who used indiscriminate means to seduce Di'er." ”

"Xiangye is not like this, the concubine doesn't know what happened at all. The concubine only remembered that she fell asleep shortly after taking the medicine, and she was here when she woke up, and, moreover, she was raped by the fourth son. Mrs. Wen grabbed Mu Zhaolin's arm and knelt on the bed, her face full of tears, she knew that she was finished, whether she was killed or not, she couldn't stay in the prime minister's mansion. But if she insisted that Mu Qiudi had raped her, then at least she still had a chance of life.

Mu Zhaolin waved her away in disgust, looking at the marks left on his body after love and his cheeks that seemed to be dyed like a glow, the green muscles that rose with anger rushed to his head were exposed, his face was flushed, and he snorted coldly: "Don't know anything? Hmph, you see how much you enjoy it! ”

Mrs. Wen shook her head with a pale face, and even didn't care about her disheveled appearance at the moment, she pulled his sleeves again, and cried: "No, no, Xiangye, you have to believe in the concubine body, the concubine body really doesn't know anything." Xiangye, you love the concubine so much, how can the concubine do something sorry for you! ”
