Chapter 4: The Trajectory of Changing Destiny

Quietly sneaked into the largest grain store on Jingzhong Street, the shopkeeper was closing the door and closing the shop, Mu Wan'er hid on the second floor, looking down at the shopkeeper who blew out the candle and walked upstairs with an oil lamp.

When he stepped on the last step, Mu Wan'er rushed out with lightning speed, covering his mouth and nose.

"Don't scream, or I'll kill you."

Her gloomy voice rang in the shopkeeper's ears, and at the same time, the bone-cold dagger pressed against his neck.

The shopkeeper trembled with fright and did not dare to move.

Seeing that the guys had packed up and left, Mu Wan'er let go of her hand, and her voice was slightly thick: "Shopkeeper Li doesn't have to be afraid, I came here to discuss something important with you." ”

"What...... What's up? ”

Mu Wan'er's eyes turned, and she glanced at the grain shop, "I heard that there has been heavy rain in the upper reaches of the capital for several days, and I think that there will be a lot of water in the capital in the near future, and a lot of food will be needed at that time, I want you to buy all the grain from other families in Beijing from tomorrow, but you can't publicize it." ”

The shopkeeper was a businessman and immediately refused; "How do I know if what you say is true or false? If I believe your words, a large amount of grain will be stored, and in the end I can't sell it, will I still be able to do this business? ”

Hearing this, Mu Wan'er's dagger took a step closer, and blood oozed a little along the blade.

"Shopkeeper Li has thought it through?"

Her shallow gaze fell on the shopkeeper's eyes, the shopkeeper showed a bitter face, and said in embarrassment: "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that this is not good for me at all, and I can't even earn back the cost." ”

With a sneer, Mu Wan'er took back the dagger and wrote lightly: "When the catastrophe comes, Shopkeeper Li will not rise a penny, and the royal family will give Shopkeeper Li benefits at that time." ”

Shopkeeper Li has opened a shop in the capital for so many years, so he can naturally understand the truth inside.

The words fell, but in an instant, Mu Wan'er hid in the darkness again.

After she left, the shopkeeper's weak expression suddenly became solemn and fierce, and she immediately went back to the house and wrote a paper book......

Mu Wan'er, who returned to Mu's house peacefully, lay on the bed for a long time and couldn't sleep, and for some reason, Xie Yu's appearance suddenly appeared in her mind.

The man who was willing to be used by her, gave up the throne for her, left the fiefdom, and finally died with her.

Her eyelashes moved slightly, and the corners of her eyes suddenly moistened, as if her heart was blocked by something.

Following.

As soon as Mu Wan'er woke up, Xiaotang ran in in a panic: "Girl, Mama Cui is here." ”

Hearing this, she frowned slightly, this old guy must be fine every time he comes over, his eyes are slightly raised, and he gets up and changes his clothes neatly.

Mama Cui pushed the door in, looking high: "Second girl, the old lady asked you to go to Shou'an Hall." ”

A quarter of an hour later.

Mu Wan'er appeared in front of Mrs. Mu and promised to say goodbye: "Grandmother is healthy." ”

"Sit down." Mrs. Mu slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"I have called you today for an important matter." The old lady said as she picked up the book on the table and handed it to her: "This is a letter from your uncle Jiangnan's house, you can take a look." ”

Mu Wan'er lowered her eyes and glanced at the elegant font on the book, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she remained silent.

How could it be so early? Is it because she lived a new life and changed the trajectory of her fate?

Puzzled, she took out the letter inside, and at a glance she knew what was written in it.

The daughter of Jiangnan's uncle's marriage is now in difficult childbirth, and she was called here just to let her take care of the cousin she had never met.

In his last life, he almost married his cousin-in-law as a concubine, and he will never be at the mercy of others in this life.

"Wan'er, as the daughter of the Mu family, you will come forward for the Mu family to take care of your cousin in Jiangnan, and you will leave tomorrow."

Old Madam Mu's words fell, got up and straightened her clothes and left.

She looked at the ochre-red back, her eyelashes drooping slightly, and her time was running out.

Back in the courtyard, Mu Wan'er's slender fingertips tapped on the tabletop, and when she was concentrating, Xiaotang walked in and reported: "Girl, the eldest lady wants to see you." ”

Hearing this, she nodded, didn't have time to think about it, took a sip of tea, and walked straight to the pear orchard.

As soon as she was discharged from the hospital, she saw Mu Qian'er walking not far in front, and Mu Wan'er's eyes flashed.

"Third sister."

When a familiar voice came, Mu Qian'er frowned, and the moment she turned around to see Mu Wan'er, endless disgust appeared in her eyes.

Seeing that next to her was Lingchi in Fuzhong, the corners of Mu Wan'er's lips curled: "Third sister, how were you yesterday?" ”

She asked with concern, and it became a mockery in Mu Qian'er's ears.

Mu Qian'er snorted coldly, thinking of yesterday's humiliation, her anger swelled up: "You cheap embryo is really good at pretending, you wait, I will let you get out of Mu Mansion sooner or later!" ”

"No, I didn't expect Grandmother to do this to you." She held Mu Qian'er's wrist in time, her eyes were full of tears, and her eyes gradually reddened, "The third sister really misunderstood me." ”

Hearing this, Mu Qian'er's eyebrows were tightly twisted into Sichuan characters, and she struggled in disgust: "You think I will believe you?" It's disgusting, let go! ”

Mu Wan'er not only didn't let go, but clenched it tighter: "Third sister, how can you forgive me?" ”

couldn't break free, Mu Qian'er gritted her teeth angrily, and shook it hard, Mu Wan'er saw the opportunity, planted backwards, and fell straight into Ling Chi behind her.

"Poofβ€”"

Mu Wan'er was desperately fluttering in the water, it was warm and cold at this time, the cold water soaked her whole body, and the cold invaded every inch of her body.

"Help, helpβ€”"

Where had Mu Qian'er seen such a scene, she was already panicked and at a loss.

"Come on, the second girl has fallen into the water!" Xiaotang didn't know that she did it on purpose, so she was so anxious that tears fell down, and she shouted hoarsely.

Mu Qian'er sat down on the ground, shook her head with a pale face and muttered, "I didn't mean to......"

watched Mu Wan'er gradually lose her strength and sink down.

Hearing the cry for help, the guards in the house rushed to pick up Mu Wan'er, who had already fainted, from the water, which quickly alarmed Mrs. Mu and her mother, Zhang Lan, who came to visit.

"Doctor, how's it going?" Zhang Lan asked eagerly, clasping her hands tightly.

The doctor withdrew his hand and sighed: "It's just about to be weak, the second lady choked too much water, the old man prescribed a prescription, and he could wake up after a few days of decoction." ”

Mu Qian'er was next to her at that time, and she must not have anything to do with it, Zhang Lan stumbled violently and almost fell to the ground.

However, Mrs. Mu was much calmer and interrogated Xiaotang: "How could a good person fall into the water?" Explain the ins and outs of the matter one by one, and there must be no half of concealment! ”

"Yes!" Xiao Tang fell to his knees on the ground, his voice was miserable, and his shoulders trembled faintly: "Back to the old lady's words, when the young lady came, she met the third young lady, and she was pushed into Ling Chi after a few words of concern, please be sure to call the shots for our young lady!" ”

She choked up, tears welling up in her eyes, and her forehead slammed to the ground.

Mu Qian'er seemed to have lost her soul, sat on the ground, shook her head with a pale face, and was at a loss: "No...... It's not like that, I don't have ...... I didn't have ......"

Looking at Mu Wan'er, who was unconscious on the bed, Zhang Lan only felt her eyelids jump suddenly, and defended in a loud voice: "Mother, you must not listen to the words of this cheap maid, Qian'er has been kind since she was a child, how could she do such a harmful thing?" ”

Old Madam Mu's face was solemn, and her eyes were full of blame when she looked at Mu Qian'er.
