Prime Minister's Office.

After Prime Minister Mu learned that Mu Zhixi's mother and daughter had gone to the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion and had not returned in the evening, he sent a nameless fire to his subordinates.

He has been trying to have a good relationship with the Hou Mansion of An Yuan for so many years, counting on that woman to accompany him to the Hou Mansion to walk around more.

As a result, their mother and daughter quietly went to the Hou Mansion behind his back, deliberately not taking him with them.

"Come, prepare the carriage, and go to the Hou Mansion. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

When it was peaceful in the Hou Mansion, someone suddenly came to report that Prime Minister Mu Cheng had come to pick him up.

The old marquis was obviously displeased with Prime Minister Mu, touched his beard, and ordered: "Just let him wait outside." ”

Fortunately, the old lady is reasonable, even if she doesn't like this son-in-law, she can't spoil other people's face, after all, it will be her daughter who suffers at that time.

When she just wanted to ask Prime Minister Mu Cheng to come in, Mu Zhixi spoke.

"Grandfather, grandmother, since my father has come, then my mother and I should also prepare to go home. lest you let your father wait outside for a long time and let others see the joke. ”

She said this lightly, and she couldn't see any other thoughts at all.

In fact, she couldn't be clearer about Prime Minister Mu's thoughts.

Where did he come to pick up people, obviously he just wanted to take this opportunity to make friends with the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion.

So she, like her grandfather, didn't agree to let people in.

It would have been better for her and her mother to leave the Hou Mansion earlier than for that person to succeed.

Although the second elder is reluctant, she is always a married daughter, and she can't be forced to stay.

They also wanted to send it to the door of the house, Mu Zhixi said with a smile: "Don't bother sending it to your second elder, my mother and I will come to bother you in the future." ”

"You girl, you must do what you say, and you can't fool me, an old woman. The old lady took Mu Zhixi's hand and gave her a jade bracelet.

"Grandmother, what is this?" Mu Zhixi looked at the bracelet that suddenly appeared on her wrist, and hesitated to accept it.

Because she recognized it, it was the ancestral jade bracelet of her maternal grandfather's family.

Mrs. Prime Minister smiled softly at Mu Zhixi and touched her head, "Xi'er, thank your grandmother, this is a good thing." ”

The old lady looked at Mu Zhixi with a loving face, worried about what she minded, and explained unhurriedly.

"This is the ancestral jade bracelet of your grandfather's family, which was supposed to be passed on to your mother by me, but the people in the Xiangfu are treacherous, and I am afraid that your mother will be calculated, so I have been staying in the Hou Mansion. ”

"Since it's for my mother, it's better to ......" Mu Zhixi was about to take the bracelet back, but was stopped by her mother.

"Your grandmother is right, the people of the Prime Minister are treacherous, if this bracelet comes to me, someone may have taken it. And this is meant to be passed on to you, so there's nothing to excuse. ”

Grandmother and mother insisted like this, and Mu Zhixi did not refuse again.

She bowed to her grandmother and thanked her sincerely.

At the gate of the mansion, Mu Cheng saw the two of them come out and looked behind them.

"What about the old marquis?" he asked arrogantly, as if he was accusing of something.

Mu Zhixi took the initiative to answer: "The second elder is weak, so we didn't let them send it." Is there something important about my father's search for my grandfather?"

Her eyes were clear and translucent, as if a star had fallen, innocent.

Prime Minister Mu was angry, but it was not easy to show it.

"It's not important, it's a good son-in-law, I'm here, I want to meet my father-in-law. He looked at his wife Lin Yuerong, but the words were said to the guards at the gate of the mansion.

He wanted to go in just now, but these things with no eyes actually stopped him, saying that without the permission of the Hou Ye, no one was allowed to trespass, making him look like an outsider.

Mu Zhixi smiled and said innocently.

"It seems that my father will wait for the next time, and my grandfather was happy at dinner, drank a few more glasses of wine, and now he has gone back to his room to rest. ”

Saying that, she didn't care what Prime Minister Mu's reaction was, and directly helped her mother into the carriage.

was ignored by the mother and daughter like this, and Prime Minister Mu's face turned blue instantly.

Eating drunk?

Could it be that he really came for nothing this time?

After entering the carriage, the prime minister's wife spoke.

"Xi'er, why did you lie to your father just now?"

In her impression, Xi'er rarely lies, but now she doesn't blush and her heart beats when she tells lies.

Mu Zhixi helped her mother beat her shoulder, "Then I can't say that my grandfather doesn't want to see it, mother, I'm a white lie." ”

"Do you really have such filial piety?" she didn't believe it.

"Mother, grandfather did not like my father, not because I looked down on his origin, but because I looked down on his virtue.

"I'm a junior, so it's hard to say anything, but I don't want my mother to work hard for a man who doesn't love me and even wants to take advantage of her. ”

When she said this, her expression was quite serious.

As a result, the atmosphere of the carriage became somewhat oppressive.

What kind of calculation her husband made, Lin Yuerong has seen it very thoroughly over the years.

It was precisely because she knew that she avoided being forced to come to the Hou Mansion by him in that extreme way.

And she never told anyone about these things.

Now that her daughter is older, she is looking for medicinal herbs for her illness to recuperate for her.

Even, even she was used by Mu Yuan's man.

I don't know when, her son has grown up, and she is no longer the ignorant little girl.

"Xi'er, as a woman, it is not easy to meet a man who really loves herself and can love her for a lifetime. My mother is already like this in this life, and there is no turning back. I just hope you can have a smooth life.

"Although Lord Zhan has a tyrannical personality, my mother can see that he really likes you.

"If you have something unpleasant with him, don't hide it and avoid the problem, he is not an unreasonable person, don't let people worry. ”

Mu Zhixi thought of Xiao Yiyan and lost her mind slightly.

"Mother, I'm obviously talking about you, why did it happen to me again. Her tone was a little coquettish, leaning on her mother's shoulder, and sighed secretly.

The problem between her and Xiao Yiyan was precisely because it couldn't be solved, so she went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to breathe.

Mu Yuan's carriage was just behind, and there was nowhere to spill anger in his heart, and after getting out of the carriage, he strode forward and stopped Lin Yuerong.

"I said before that I would let you go back to the Hou Mansion to visit, but you said that you were sick and couldn't go, Lin Yuerong, don't you see that you are close to the Hou Mansion of Anyuan!"

He said it directly, so that Lin Yuerong didn't know how to answer.

"My father is busy with official business, and my mother just doesn't want to waste my father's time, so why embarrass my mother like this. Mu Zhixi's righteous words did not give Mu Yuan, the father, the slightest affection.

In her previous life, her father was bent on Aunt Su's mother and daughter, which led to the tragedy of her and her mother.

In this life, if he is unkind, don't blame her for being unfilial.

"I'm talking to your mother, what are you talking about!" Mu Yuan had already seen Mu Zhixi unpleasant.

She made such a shameful thing on her wedding day, which made him lose his face.

In addition, she has no ability since she was a child, and she is even less treated by him.

Not to mention, in the Eldest Princess's Mansion before, this girl was very disrespectful to him.

Now she dared to talk to him in such a tone, which really made him very unhappy.

"I'm just helping my mother explain what my father is so excited about. My mother just went back to my parents' house, and my father was so angry, couldn't it be that he wanted to lock his mother in the Prime Minister's Mansion for the rest of his life. ”

"You ......"

Mu Yuan raised his hand and was about to greet Mu Zhixi's face, but was quickly protected by Lin Yuerong's eyes.

Unbeknownst to her, his slap landed directly on her face.

The sound of "pop" also fell on the tip of Mu Zhixi's heart.
