Chapter 132 Chunyu
"The note went through your hands first. As a well-cultivated craftsman, if you can't detect the difference, how can I know more than you?" Mu Xiyao blinked slyly. People with ghosts in their hearts will naturally not find peace. .
Mrs. Wu is really smart, and after thinking about it for a while, she understood what she meant. Knowing that she had been tricked from the beginning to the end, her eyes cracked in an instant, and she couldn't hold her breath, and the suppressed blood gushed out from her throat.
She decided that she would be even more unwilling, and it really came true very quickly.
Your Highness, is this the woman you like? In the face of the enemy, the last blow is never soft.
Wu thought of the figure she had been looking forward to countless times, the kind of helplessness that she wanted to get close to but had to suppress. She pretended to be dull and sent him away with her own hands, only sadness remained in her heart.
"Your Highness... Your Highness will not... die. Slave, servant, prepare the antidote."
When she was about to die, whether Mrs. Mu would pass on this belated explanation to His Highness, even if she could get a little forgiveness from him.
Mu Xiyao looked at her expectant eyes, and instantly understood the unspeakable guilt that this woman felt towards Zong Zhenglin from the bottom of her heart.
Although she was in love with him, she wanted to destroy his beloved woman and child with her own hands. This kind of behavior that would surely arouse his hatred made her terrified.
Mu Xiyao frowned slightly, not knowing what to think. She doesn't like this kind of tragic drama very much. But this woman is really pure when it comes to feelings. On this point, Mu Xiyao believed that she would never be able to do it.
Wu's eyes gradually became slack, and the five fingers that were propped on the armrest slowly loosened, and with the last strength, he took a deep look at her.
Mu Xiyao couldn't help shaking her head when she saw that she was dying with regret. Even though she never had the intention of murdering Zong Zhenglin, once that man found out her identity, he would never let her go because of his affection.
Zong Zhenglin was domineering in his bones. What he wants is to get it by any means. What he doesn't like, even if the love is as deep as the sea, he will abandon it like a shoe. Regarding Wu Shi, Zong Zhenglin never paid attention to her from the beginning to the end, so why did he feel sorry for her?
"The boss, follow the rules." Mu Xiyao didn't bother to ask about the affairs of the Wu family. The tragic life of this woman disgusted her very much. The situation of the Dawei woman is much worse than her, but others can still work hard to survive, why does she have to do evil things in order to survive? Mrs. Zhang ended up childless all her life, and the role of this woman in it cannot be underestimated.
"Sister, this matter is over, and it is inconvenient for me to stay for a long time."
Seeing Wu's dying, Helian Minmin finally felt relieved. This is good, so that there will be no one in the mansion who plots against His Highness, she can rest assured to take care of her body and give birth to a son for His Highness as soon as possible.
"My sister has worked hard today, so be careful on the road."
Wan Jingwen followed Mu Xiyao for a long time, until she could no longer be seen, then she slowly retracted. Glancing at Su Linrou who was being carried away, there was strong contempt in his eyes.
The same side concubine, that one puts her under as much pressure as Taiyuan, but this one can't even stand on the stage. No wonder Zong Zhenglin has been reluctant to ask her to sleep with her.
"Tomorrow the concubine will definitely enter the palace, and the nanny will take Chengqing to show to the concubine Shu on the way. It's been almost a month since I haven't greeted you, the empress must have thought about it."
The little bun is Concubine Shu's heart, and Helian Minmin wants to take advantage of her inconvenience to win Concubine Shu, how can Mu Xiyao let her do so? Thus, after taking the blame for his mother, Baby Chengqing was pushed out by Mu Xiyao again, and became the most annoying kid in Helian Minmin's eyes.
Qicheng, the front yard of Zhizhou Mansion.
"My humble minister welcomes the two Highnesses. The humble house is simple, if the hospitality is not good, please also invite Your Highness Haihan." Zhizhou Wang Zhikui kowtowed to the ground, his back was very low.
Zong Zhengming put away the folding fan, lightly tapped the table next to him, and spoke in a very gentle tone. "Your Majesty Wang, you don't need to be too polite. My hall and the sixth younger brother are only passing through Qicheng, and we have to stay for one night and have other important things to do. The politeness on the scene can be avoided as much as possible." Soft but hard, the meaning is clear.
Wang Zhikui heard the strings and knew that the two Highnesses were the false flattery in Wuxin's official circles. The dust-cleaning banquet held in the Juxian Building at night seemed hopeless, and they had to be withdrawn as soon as possible, and it would be better to replace it with the Zhizhou Mansion's family banquet .
In this way, his colleagues who are eagerly looking forward to getting close to His Highness and getting acquainted with each other will definitely be extremely disappointed. Fortunately, His Highness lives in Zhizhou Mansion, which is a good thing for him. Treating the two Highnesses alone, this unique dignity, is a kind of grace that cannot be asked for on weekdays.
"I understand that I have wronged the two Highnesses at night, and the family has a simple meal, so please don't dislike it." Wang Zhikui is now very grateful for his wife's good cooking skills, which should be able to support the appearance.
"Homemade meals are excellent." Zong Zhenglin turned his left hand and wrenched his fingers, quite satisfied with his response.
"The humble minister will go down to prepare now. If the two Highnesses are tired, hot water is ready in the room." Wang Zhikui is careful and calm, and he arranges things very methodically.
"Fifth Brother, take a bath and rest, and my younger brother will come to find you again." Zong Zhenglin left first, and Yan Chengzhou had already arranged his usual change of clothes neatly in the wing room.
"Your Highness, Concubine Helian and Concubine Mu both have letters." Yan Chengzhou handed the letter to Zong Zhenglin. Based on the weight of these two letters, His Highness may not be satisfied.
Sure enough, His Highness frowned after receiving the letter.
Zong Zhenglin scanned Mu Xiyao's familiar font, and put her letter aside. Open Helian Minmin's letter and read it carefully.
Apart from talking about the situation in the house in detail, it is just asking about the cold and caring. In the end, he mentioned two sentences about the entry of the Helian family's children into the army, and his words were a bit embarrassing.
Zong Zhenglin folded the letter paper, and there was no joy or anger in his eyes. Picking up Mu Xiyao's letter again, seeing her mischievously scribbling on the envelope, His Highness the Sixth Highness was very helpless.
This woman has to be unique when she writes a letter. Just seeing the big smiling face on the lower right corner of this unruly person, one can tell that she is in a good mood these days.
Zong Zhenglin unfolded the letterhead, and his face turned dark after a while.
Mu Xiyao actually only replied half a page of the letter, and then dared to "pay off the debt" with his son. Taking a closer look at the imprints of Chengqing's hands and feet, Zong Zhenglin can imagine the scene at that time. That kid must be very happy to be taught by his mother, he should like this kind of novelty.
It stands to reason that my wife and son are very happy, and the sixth highness who is the head of the family should also be infected and appreciate the beauty of harmony in the house. It's a pity, Zong Zhenglin is gritting his teeth with hatred now, and he doesn't appreciate Mu Xiyao's "good intentions."
really good. Before leaving, he repeatedly told her not to be lazy, and now she was full of crooked ways, stealing, adultery and playing tricks. Mu Xiyao's mind is good, but using her exquisite mind on him, it seems that this woman has not learned enough lessons.
In other words, does she want to show Cheng Qing again and again? It was still His Royal Highness who understood Mu Xiyao's temperament, so he guessed right.
Zong Zhenglin put away the letter with a dark face, gently stroking the fingers of his left hand, and a smile slowly appeared in the corner of his eyes.
Since the little girl dared to play martial arts with him, then don't blame him for taking the first step.
Later, Yan Chengzhou came over, took the urgent letter from His Royal Highness, and went out to handle errands. He murmured in his heart, how did Master Yao's letter provoke His Highness, so that Master Yao came to such a decisive move.
He had two reply letters in his hand, one was a home letter to Concubine Helian. The other letter, Yan Chengzhou was so curious that it was sent to the Mu Mansion in the capital, and it also had His Royal Highness's private seal on it. This letter has a private seal, which means that it is very cautious and must not be ignored.
When Yan Chengzhou turned the corner, he met His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince bringing people over.
Zong Zhengming caught a glimpse of the letter in his hand, and the word "Mufu" came into his eyes, and he smiled unconsciously.
"Your side concubine committed a crime again?" If Mu Xiyao hadn't offended his sixth brother, how could Zong Zhenglin have named "Mu Mansion" instead of "Lord Mu" to accept it personally.
Yan Chengzhou frowned, Master Yao's reputation has spread to the ears of His Highness Fifth? With such a master, Yan Chengzhou really didn't know how to reply.
Zong Zhengming saw that he was in a dilemma, patted the folding fan with his right hand twice, and smiled frankly. "Forget it, your Highness has important family affairs, so hurry up and do it." I don't know what kind of expression that woman will have a few days later.
Zong Zhengming felt that if Mu Xiyao was angry and rushed to send a letter from home to "confront" him, then he could also read Zong Zhenglin's jokes and have fun with him.
It is almost September now, and there is still more than a month before her second child will be born.
It's been a long time since I first met in the draft that year...
"Fifth brother is here." Zong Zhenglin brought Ye Kai over, but when he looked closely, he found Zong Zhengming's expression was wrong.
"I'm looking for you." Zong Zhengming smiled, hiding his emotions.
"Things in central Sichuan..." The two walked side by side, exchanging views from time to time. If the inseparable hostile relationship of seizing the throne was excluded, they might be able to stay together.
"Don't tell me yet! Miss that brocade fur cloak, did you secretly take it out of the house and pawn it for money?"
"Mom understands clearly, the servant has been with the lady for seven years, how could she do such a shameful thing?"
The sound of beating, scolding and scolding in front interrupted Zong Zhenglin's discussion of political affairs. This is the front yard, how can there be a woman crying on the veranda?
"Who's in front? You're not saluting after meeting His Highness!" The chief steward of Zhizhou's mansion was so frightened that his forehead was sweating. What a sightless servant this is, really unlucky. How can you lose courtesy in front of the nobleman?
When the four people in front heard that the person who came was His Highness who was being carefully served by their master, they immediately fell to their knees. Trembling and stammering, he pleaded guilty.
Zong Zhenglin was originally impatient with the trivial matters in the back room, but when he looked away, he suddenly fixed on a woman, his eyes were full of mystery.
Zong Zhengming's eyes were fixed on the woman who only showed half of her hibiscus face.
Like, very like. The outline resembles Mu Xiyao seven to eight points, except that the charm in the eyes is so different that it makes people recognize the wrong person in a blink of an eye.
"Who are you?" Unexpectedly, the first person to question him was the taciturn Sixth Highness Zong Zhenglin.
"Your Highness is asking a question, you are going to die, why don't you hurry up and answer!" The mother in charge who had scolded her just now saw the woman staring at the two Highnesses in a daze, so frightened, she hurriedly poked her arm and told her to answer.
The woman seemed to be frightened, and her voice trembled a little. "Returning to His Highness, the servant is the maidservant next to Miss San."
Seeing that she was afraid, Zong Zhengming slowed down his tone, "What is your last name, why is it not described here?" The woman's hair was in a disheveled bun, her clothes were dirty, and her eyes were still slightly red. Looking sharply at the remaining few people, Zong Zhengming roughly guessed the reason.
The servant girl lowered her head and replied in a hoarse voice, "My maidservant's real name is Chunyuyao, and her ancestral home is Mobei. Later, during the war, she was sold to Da Wei as a servant girl. Third Miss Meng chose her as a servant and changed her name to Xiaoqiao."
Zongzheng Ming and Zongzhenglin both raised their brows when they heard her confession.
