Chapter 3: The Dawn of the Edge
Looking at her condescendingly, Mu Wan'er approached step by step, covering Mu Qian'er's slender neck with her bare hands, and her nails lightly scratched: "If Xiaotang misses half a point, I will send you to see the king of Hades." ”
Screaming and covering her neck, Mu Qian'er trembled, at this time she had no doubt that Mu Wan'er wanted to kill her like crushing an ant.
With a murderous aura all over her body, Mu Wan'er clenched her fists to suppress the impulse in her heart, and her voice was like a cold pool: "Get out!" ”
After receiving the pardon, Mu Qian'er hurriedly fled in a panic, and the moment she stumbled out of the door, her heart was pounding, and she was afraid of the rest of her life.
Taking a deep breath, Mu Wan'er turned around and returned to the room, looking down at her hands distracted, she almost couldn't help it just now, and wiped Mu Qian'er away.
But Mu Wan'er knew in her heart that what she wanted to clean up was far more than Mu Qian'er alone, and she couldn't lose a big one because of a small one.
The road to revenge has just begun!
When twilight came, Xiaotang still didn't come back, but Mama Cui came over and called her: "Second Miss, the old lady has set up a banquet in the Water Pavilion Pavilion, please come over immediately." ”
After speaking, he turned around and left, and when he was about to the door, he commanded again: "Don't let the old lady wait for a long time." ”
Looking at her back, Mu Wan'er's expression was solemn, and her thin figure was infinitely elongated by the moonlight.
A dinner party at the Water Pavilion?
If she doesn't go, it's an ordinary family banquet, and if she goes, it's a Hongmen banquet, but Mu Wan'er has just arrived, where is her choice?
Changing into plain clothes, Mu Wan'er followed her memory to the Water Pavilion Pavilion, and before anyone approached, the sound of talking and laughing had already come.
"Grandmother, look at my hands, these are all the masterpieces of the second sister!" Mu Qian'er's voice was crisp, and she could clearly recognize it from a distance of 100 meters.
The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. Mu Wan'er smiled coldly, walked over and bowed, sitting in the farthest position from the old lady, and behaved quietly, so that people couldn't find the slightest mistake.
Seeing her coming, the old lady's face turned gloomy, stared at her and asked, "Did you get the injuries on Qian'er's hands?" ”
Hearing this, Mu Wan'er raised her eyes and looked over, her wrist was bruised, and there was a half-finger-long wound on it, and the blood was still vivid.
Mu Wan'er couldn't help sneering in her heart, in order to deal with her, Mu Qian'er was really ruthless to herself!
As if she had been greatly wronged, Mu Qian'er's eyes were red. Seeing this, Mrs. Mu held her hand distressedly and asked nervously, "What happened?" Grandmother makes the decisions for you. ”
"Grandmother, the second sister has just arrived, I wanted to care about it, but how did I know that kindness became a donkey's liver and lungs, and the second sister actually let her maid ring hurt me."
In the end, Mu Qian'er actually sobbed, tears flashing in her beautiful eyes, which made people feel pity involuntarily.
Old Madam Mu's face was gloomy and could drip water, her eyes were a little cruel, and she stood up: "Where is that Yahuan now?"
Mu Qian'er's eyes were staring at her tightly, eager to dig Mu Wan'er out of a hole, "Grandmother, I have already ordered someone to arrest her." ”
Bang Bang –
The crisp applause sounded, and immediately several guards walked into the Water Pavilion Pavilion, and everyone's eyes converged on the maid they were escorting.
Mu Wan'er couldn't help but open her eyes, looking at Xiaotang covered in dried blood stains, her hair was messy, her face was pale, and her mouth was tightly stuffed with sackcloth.
With a heartbeat, Mu Wan'er's hands hidden in her sleeves clenched unconsciously.
How dare you hurt Xiaotang? Is she living impatient?
"Grandmother, it's this who bullied me, you must be angry for your granddaughter!" Mu Qian'er's voice was mixed with a trace of resentment, and the smug look in her eyes was fully visible to Mu Wan'er.
Immediately ignoring everyone, she got up and walked quickly to Xiaotang, pulling off the rags in her mouth, Mu Wan'er was distressed.
The hand touched her forearm, Xiaotang avoided the pain, Mu Wan'er suddenly understood something, lifted her sleeve, and the more hideous wounds were intertwined on the arm, and the flesh and blood were blurred.
Her heart sank, Mu Wan'er turned around and knelt on her knees, her voice choked and clear: "Grandmother, Xiaotang contradicted the third sister in order to protect her granddaughter, but she never hurt her sister. ”
She couldn't tell that trace of grievances, and she could only force forbearance to interpret it vividly.
"Grandmother, you have seen the wounds on my body, don't listen to her gossip and nonsense!"
Mu Qian'er saw that Old Madam Mu was shaken, and hurriedly showed her wounds, trying to provoke her pity.
After being in the house for most of her life, how could Mrs. Mu not see Mu Qian'er's means?
"Untie—"
With an order, the guards holding Xiaotang immediately let go.
Xiaotang, who had just gotten up from the ground, looked up and saw the slap marks on Mu Wan'er's face that had not yet dissipated, and immediately had a flash of inspiration and exclaimed: "Miss, what's wrong with your face?!" ”
When everyone heard this, their eyes fell on her face, and the truth was clear at a glance.
Mu Wan'er patted Xiaotang's hand soothingly, but she was actually appreciating: "I'm fine." ”
Instead, he knelt down and pleaded with the old lady: "Grandmother, all the mistakes are the granddaughter's fault, if the grandmother wants to blame, the granddaughter is willing to bear it." ”
When Mu Qian'er heard this, she immediately snickered in her heart, and held Mrs. Mu with both hands: "Grandmother, you must punish her heavily!" ”
Old Madam Mu never said a word. The gaze seems to be able to see everything, revealing a sharp light that has been honed over the years.
Zhang Ningyu on the side has always been good at observing words and feelings, seeing the current situation, he got up and gave a blessing: "Grandmother, this is a reception banquet for the second sister, even if there are thousands of mistakes, it should be counted after the banquet, do you say yes or not?" ”
The old lady quietly withdrew her hand and picked up the chopsticks again.
Zhang Ningyu instantly understood what the old lady meant, got up and helped Mu Wan'er, who was kneeling on the ground, smiled at her and nodded, and helped her back to the pavilion to sit down.
Mu Qian'er slapped the table and stood up, her sharp voice was particularly harsh: "Grandmother, you don't make decisions for me when I am so wronged, so what's the point of me staying in this house!" ”
"Fooling around ——!"
The old lady, who had not made a sound, slammed the chopsticks on the table, and everyone immediately lowered their heads, not even daring to let out the atmosphere.
As for Mu Qian'er's clumsy tricks, she couldn't get into the eyes of Old Madam Mu at all.
Mu Wan'er judged the situation and persuaded with good words: "Third sister, I know it's all my fault, but what my cousin said is right........."
"I don't need you to be pretended!" Mu Qian'er glared at her viciously, and she didn't look like an official lady at all.
The atmosphere in the pavilion was depressing for a while.
"Someone!" Old Madam Mu ordered with a solemn face: "Take the third girl down, think about it behind closed doors, no one is allowed to visit without my order." ”
As soon as these words came out, the guards looked at each other, no one dared to make a move, offended the third lady who had always been arrogant and domineering, and they would not have a good time in the future.
"Grandmother, you can't do this, it's obviously me who has been wronged, why do you still favor this?!"
"Presumptuous! Who is in charge of Mufu, you can't tell the difference? Old Madam Mu scolded angrily, and the oppressive momentum spread, and the guards hurriedly stepped forward to escort Mu Qian'er.
With a dissatisfied snort, Old Madam Mu raised her hand and said in a cold voice: "Take it down." ”
"Grandmother—grandmother—"
Mu Qian'er's hysterical voice became farther and farther away, and everything just now seemed to be a joke.
As soon as the people left, everyone seemed to be colluding and never mentioned it, pretending to eat.
After the end, Mu Wan'er was instructed by the old lady to take Xiaotang back to the barren yard.
"Girl, it's too dangerous today." Xiaotang gently wiped the left side of her face for her, still apprehensive about what happened before.
"What is this? It won't be long, though. Mu Wan'er let out an unfathomable smile, her eyes looked through the window lattice, cast in the distance, unfathomable.
Today is the fifteenth day of the month, and if she remembers correctly, there will be a flood outside the city in about three days.
At night, Mu Wan'er changed into black clothes and left from a remote corner gate of Mu's house with ease.
Thanks to Xie Qi in her previous life, in order to help him, she was assassinated countless times, and finally she was so frightened that she learned some tricks to protect herself.
This life has become her hole card.
