Chapter 27 The Three Real Misses of the Mu Family——Mu Ningyan

Mu Ningyan turned her head and stared at the strange bed curtain in the inn. The bed was so high that someone was clearly lying on it.After a while, she turned around, closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she had no struggle at all, and opened the door resolutely.The entire inn was still asleep. At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and the morning sun had gradually spread, and the sky was a very light blue-gray. Mu Ningyan took a deep breath and walked towards the north city gate. Fuxi Tea House is always a very lively place beside the North City Gate. At this time, it was getting late, so there were no empty seats in the small tea house, and the tables were full.Amid the din of people, only a dozen horses galloped past on the street.In a blink of an eye, only the sound of "tat-tat-tat" was left.

Someone poked his head out of the window, took a few glances, and said in amazement: "The clothes of these attendants seem to be from the Mu family in Xinzhou." Rich businessmen, everyone knows everyone. There was a lot of discussion for a while, and the person said: "Didn't the Mu Xianxing master of the Mu family pass away the year before last?" The man said: "No, now, the Mu family is headed by Mu Xianxing's son Mu Tiancheng, who is very capable. Ah, to run Master Mu's business name and bank account so resoundingly!" "That's right, then Mu Tiancheng, he has been doing business with Mr. Mu for more than ten years, Zaoqing is better than blue!"

Someone lowered his voice and said, "I heard that Mu Tiancheng is just the adopted son of the Mu family..." Someone immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, I heard that too. Then, Master Mu Xianxing, only A jewel in the eye." Someone sighed: "It's really cheap for Mu Tiancheng, with such a big industry, you can't finish it in dozens of lifetimes!" Of course, many people were jealous, and they all echoed: "That's right, good luck! " Some people also said: "I heard that Mu Tiancheng is involved. In my opinion, this person is a party figure everywhere. According to the current situation, the Mu family cannot do without him. Then Miss Mu family has not yet betrothed to others. Well, who will pick this huge stall?"

Some good-natured people giggled and teased: "Hey, how can Miss Mu's family be compared?" "What, you want to propose marriage? Forget it, go back and take a pee and take care of yourself!" "Think about it, can't you do it? Maybe the Miss Mu family is so ugly that no one wants it?" "That's impossible!" "How is it impossible? Such a rich family should have reached the end of their lives long ago, but they have not been betrothed! Maybe it is because of their ugly appearance that they cannot get married!" Fortunately, that person is not there, otherwise these people would not die or be disabled.Back then in Xinzhou, he took her to the most famous Guanhu Tower for dinner.When he went downstairs, because he heard someone say a joke to the legendary her, he turned cold on the spot and slapped her.

Later she asked him why, but he only looked at her, and said coldly, "You are mine, and no one can humiliate you except me." Her heart was cold, so it was.To him, she was nothing more than that.As he had said, she was just a whore for his own use. Now, in such a situation, she actually thought of him again.Probably because the two will never see each other again from now on!She smiled slowly. Mu Ningyan was dressed in men's clothes and huddled in the corner until the crowd in the teahouse gradually dispersed before leaving the teahouse. Looking up, the blue sky is like washing, and the sun is shining.She stepped forward and walked out of the city.For her, it is a new life.

A wooden house at the foot of Lushan Mountain, in front of the house, there are luxuriant plane trees, green pine branches, and a small flower garden. At this time, a clump of roses is blooming leisurely.A figure dressed as a young woman was washing clothes under a tree.After a while, she raised her hand to wipe off her sweat, and was about to enter the house for a sip of tea.Suddenly, as if being hit by something, he froze there, staring blankly at the approaching figure on the path. She stood up abruptly, ignoring the overturned clothes, and ran towards the figure: "Miss, miss..." The person's appearance became more and more clear...it was really Miss.Tears welled up from her "shua", through the misty tearful eyes, she saw the young lady smiling, sadly but at ease: "Qiaoyun."

Her tears fell more and more fiercely, in the dim eyes of tears, I saw the young lady fell down softly in front of her.She quickly helped her up and shouted: "Zhongbao, Zhongbao, come quickly... come quickly..." An honest and honest young man ran out of the house: "Qiaoyun, what's the matter? Hey, who is this person?" Doctor Hua at the entrance of the village, please come here!" Dr. Hua came in a hurry with Zhong Bao, and after feeling the pulse, he said to the anxious Qiao Yun, "Don't worry, don't worry. I'm not sick. It's just that I'm too tired and exhausted, so I fainted. Down. It's just...just..."

Qiao Yun said anxiously: "Just what? Doctor Hua, why don't you say it quickly?" Doctor Hua hesitated like this, and her heart hung in her throat again. Dr. Hua lowered his voice and said: "I just felt the pulse and found out that she is more than a month pregnant!" Qiao Yun was also a little surprised, but she has been in the Mu family for so many years and is used to seeing big and small scenes. The surprise subsided: "Then ask Doctor Hua to prescribe some prescriptions for raising babies." Mu Ningyan woke up from the smell of food.She opened her eyes faintly, and there was a piece of simple roof in front of her. She closed her eyes, and then remembered that she had already left Mu's house and that person.

Qiaoyun said pleasantly: "Miss... Miss... are you awake?" She opened her eyes weakly, and smiled relievedly: "Qiaoyun, you made me look for it so hard." It was hoarse and unpleasant, and it didn't seem like my own. Qiao Yun only felt sour in her eyes, and she was about to cry again: "Miss, did something happen in the mansion?" Mu Ningyan looked at her and smiled bitterly: "Qiaoyun, I have nowhere to go, so... I had to come to you." When he woke up in the inn and found her missing, he would definitely block all the passages to the capital .If she insisted on going to the capital to find her uncle and aunt, she might have been arrested by him before she reached the capital.

Qiao Yun wiped her tears and said: "Miss, is it the young master..." Mu Ningyan closed her eyes tremblingly: "Qiaoyun, don't ask any more questions." The lady looked in pain, and Qiaoyun knew that if she asked again, the lady would not say anything.Quickly changed the subject, said: "Miss, I made chicken soup, and I'll bring it to you." Four years ago, Xinzhou, Mu Mansion. Because it is spring, all kinds of flowers are blooming, and the breeze passes through the hollowed-out magpies making spring patterns on the window, faintly carrying the fragrance from the garden.

She caressed the small sachet that had almost been embroidered into a finished product, and slightly curled up a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.After waiting, you can put the Jade Guanyin prayed in Wanfu Temple in this small sachet and offer it with the fragrance of flowers.Wear it on your father every day to protect his health. Dad suddenly passed out a few months ago and became unconscious.Many doctors were invited to see it, and they all said that the righteous qi was first deficient, and the external wind and evil entered the muscles and invaded the meridians, so that the circulation of Yingwei qi and blood was blocked.Coupled with years of overwork and illness, the doctors prescribed many prescriptions, but there was still no improvement. She sighed faintly, Dad's illness is probably... Suddenly, there was a soft scolding voice from outside the room: "Qiaoxing, why are you running in such a hurry? Be gentle, Miss has not taken a nap yet!" There was a faint smile: "I thought something was wrong, but it turns out that Brother Zhou Xing from Qiaoxing is back." Her heart trembled, and pain came from her fingertips. It turned out that the embroidery needle had penetrated deep into her fingertips. That Qiaoxing seemed to stomp her foot, and said in a shy voice: "How do you know..." It seemed extremely shy, and the voice of the following words gradually weakened, almost inaudible. The delicate voice said: "The silver hairpin on your head has clearly never been worn before. Looking at the carving style, you can tell that it must not be the handicraft of our Jiangnan master. It must have been brought to you by Brother Zhou Xing when he came back from the Western Regions, right? ?” The three words "is it not" clearly contained a full-fledged joke. Qiao Xing's face was as red as blood, but she couldn't refute it, so she just stomped her feet and said, "Qiao Yun, I...I'll go and sue Miss, saying you bullied me!" Sure enough, he came back.It has been more than four months since I left. In a daze, only two girls, Qiaoyun and Qiaoxing, tiptoed open the door and came in.The moment the curtain was lifted, Qiao Xing came up happily, and said coquettishly: "Miss, miss, the young master and the caravan are back." She nodded, indicating that she understood.Lowering her head, the embroidery needle shuttled back and forth.This peony is gorgeous and graceful, and there are more than 20 kinds of wiring, and the needlework is also cumbersome.You need to calm your mind and keep your spirits up so that you won't make mistakes. The fingertips suddenly felt tingling again, and she slowly got up, staring at the red spot on her fingertips.Her complexion was already as white as snow, and her fingers were verdant. At this time, this drop of blood was as red as cinnabar, and the white and red complement each other, making it dazzling. It was night, and the entire mansion was silent.In the dark sky, only the crescent moon hangs lightly like a hook.The moonlight shines in through the window screen, clearly shining on the boudoir. Mu Ningyan woke up suddenly, and there was a tall figure standing beside the bed.She clutched her chest, panting heavily. A faint mocking voice spit out from the mouth: "Why, don't you know I'm coming tonight?" Haven't seen him for over four months and he's still the same.She looks away. He took a step forward, frantically stretched out his hand to hold her small chin, and leaned his strong body oppressively towards her.Forcibly twisting her head, she met his eyes: "Is what brother said right?" Her eyes were like two pills of black mercury, looking at him with hatred, as if there was fire about to burst out, but even so, there was a faint glimmer of light that made one unable to help but indulge in it.The skin on her jade-white face was already extremely thin, but at this moment, probably because of anger, there was a faint blush, making her look even more charming. He lowered his head abruptly and kissed her like poisoned.Her breathing was rapid and short, and she beat him with her hands indiscriminately, trying to push him away.Her quiet and elegant fragrance, her curvaceous curves, and her white, greasy and smooth skin all lured out the darkest beast in his heart.He no longer forbears, let's go on insolently... She was leaning sideways, with the black curtain above her head, and she swooped down heavily in the dark night, like a big net, wrapping her in endlessly, almost suffocating her to death. If... If it's really hard to breathe, it seems that's all.I can't see anything, I don't know anything, so I don't have to be like this, and suffer such insults every day. She still remembers the first time she met him that year, she was only nine years old, and he was already a handsome young man.It was a winter day, and she was wearing a red brocade jacket, with a small heater in her arms, walked through the winding corridors, and ran into the hall panting. "Daddy..." Dad turned his head back, and he was the one who turned back with him.At that time, he was only sixteen years old, but he was already as tall as his father.With clear and handsome eyes, he looked at himself with a slight smile. Father held her hand and smiled warmly: "Ninny, come on, call him big brother. He will be your big brother from now on." She grew up alone since she was a child, and she has always envied others to be loved by big brothers. Overjoyed, he hurriedly opened his mouth softly, and called out "Big Brother" clearly and crisply. His body seemed to shake slightly, and then he said with a smile: "Hi, little sister." He took out a small and delicate Jiulianhuan from his arms, and handed it to her: "This is a gift from my elder brother." She took it happily and thanked: "Thank you, brother." But later, later, she finally knew what a white-eyed wolf was, and what it meant to "lead a wolf into a house".Father was seriously ill and fell into a coma, but he...he... He once stood in front of his father's sickbed, looking at him coldly, with an indescribably sinister expression on his face: "I've been waiting for this day for eight years. It's time for your Mu family to repay me. " She stood there, unable to utter a word, feeling chills in her heart: "You...what else do you want?" Now, the entire Mu family is under his control, and he no longer even cares about her. Ken let it go, what else does he want? Hearing this, he "haha" laughed maniacally: "What do I want? What do I want? Let me think about it..." There seemed to be a cloud of confusion in his eyes, and he came over: "Is the Mu family's Is it better to destroy you a little bit? Or to torture you slowly? Or maybe it’s best to add the two together?" His voice gradually softened, but when it came to his ears, it was extremely strange: "Don't worry, I won't let your father die. I just want him to live and die. Let him lie like this and watch how I torture him." you." She took a deep breath: "Daddy's illness..." Mu Tiancheng stared at her, and said word by word: "Yes, your father's illness has nothing to do with me. Your father took my medicine for many years. Poison, that's why..." She clutched her chest and backed away again and again: "The Mu family treated you well, why are you so kind and revengeful!" He "hahaha" laughed unruly again: "Your father has treated me kindly these past eight years. But do you know why he treated me so kindly? Because he felt guilty. If it wasn't for him back then, how could my father treat me so kindly?" Will commit suicide and die, and my mother will not hang herself." "No, no, you're talking nonsense! Your father and my father are eight friends..." Mu Tiancheng snorted coldly, and said mockingly: "Acquaintance of eight worshippers? Back then, your father and my father met to secretly stockpile rice, but the court found out. Your father, relying on the support of someone in the court, pushed all the guilt to the court. My father died alone. As a result, my Zhu family was raided, and my father knew that death was inevitable, so he immediately killed himself with a sword, and my mother couldn't stand the blow... It's true that we are close friends!" She shook her head hastily: "No, it won't. My father...how could my father do such a thing. There must be a misunderstanding!" He twitched the corner of his mouth lightly: "Misunderstanding!" He took a step, lowered his head slowly, and his eyes were cold: "Where are there so many misunderstandings in the world!" "you!" For more than a year since her father's illness, the entire Mu family has been under his control. The original servants have been dispatched and retreated by him long ago. Except for Qiaoyun and Qiaoxing beside her, the whole mansion is everywhere. All his people.But he even threatened her with Qiaoyun Qiaoxing: "If you dare to let your girls tip off the news, see how I can deal with them? You know I can do what I say, and then don't blame me for killing them." Sold to a brothel, a pair of jade arms can be used as a pillow for thousands of people." "Don't think that the capital can be backed by your aunt and uncle. You must know that this is Xinzhou. Although your uncle can cover the sky with one hand in the capital, in Xinzhou, the magistrate will inform me of even small things. Let me tell you, you If you can disregard your father's life, you can go to them. If your father refuses to take my antidote for half a month, he will go to see your short-lived mother." She knew his methods, and also knew that what he said was true.For her father, she had no choice but to endure the humiliation. Mu Ningyan suddenly woke up from her dream. After so long, how could she have such a clear dream, as if everything happened yesterday.That kind of freshness still makes people feel heartbroken. Bowing his head, he saw that the child was dreaming soundly, sleeping very soundly, and there was still some saliva at the corner of his mouth.She gently wiped it off for him, touched the child's soft face, and gradually calmed down. Anyway, I can't fall asleep, so I just get up and embroider.The young master of the Liu family will be getting married in a few days, and it is best to hand over the embroidery work that he has received tomorrow.As long as Mrs. Liu is happy, she can take care of the entire Liu family's embroidery by herself. She took out the fire folder, lit the oil lamp, and began to embroider stitch by stitch.Back then, the young lady of a big family in Xinzhou was not good at embroidery, and she was no exception.Thanks to this skill, it is barely possible for the mother and son to survive in this world. Back then she took refuge in Qiaoyun, but within three months, he found her.Fortunately, that day, she and Qiaoyun went to Dr. Hua at the entrance of the village to check their pulse, and saw a few horses galloping past on the path from a distance.Later, she brought dry food and hid in the cave for three days before she escaped.It's just that I don't want to involve Qiaoyun's family anymore.Dragging her undiscovered belly, she disguised herself as a man and came to Luozhou. Perhaps because of the glory of this Luozhou, she has survived here with her children for the past five years. She shook her head, she couldn't think any more, she had to get up and embroider the mandarin duck pillow. The Liu family is a big family in Luozhou and a well-known big businessman in Luozhou.Mrs. Liu was very happy when she saw her embroidery from Mrs. Wang from the jade shop a month ago, so she took her to the mansion and gave her some embroidery work. Seeing the embroidered pieces presented by Mu Ningyan today, she nodded her head in approval, and said with satisfaction, "You embroidered well. From now on, I only want the things you embroidered by yourself." It seems that she was allowed to take over the embroidery of the entire Liu Mansion. Then she will no longer have to be exploited by the introducer.Mu Ningyan greeted her with a blessing and bowed: "Thank you Ma'am." Mrs. Liu said with a smile, "You are the one who embroiders well. I am so old, and this is the first time I have seen such good craftsmanship!" He beckoned: "Son, come here." Yan Xing walked up to her according to his words, and bowed to her: "Hi Ma'am." Madam Liu said with a smile: "Look at you, I love teaching children so sensible and polite." From the table He took a few pieces of hibiscus cake and handed it to Yan Xing: "Come on, try this, this is hibiscus cake." Mu Yanxing turned to look at his mother, Mu Ningyan said: "Yanxing, thank you Madam." Then Mu Yanxing reached out to take it, and said, "Thank you Madam." It would be a great blessing for her to have such a sensible grandson in the future.Mrs. Liu patted the child's head, and couldn't help feeling all sorts of thoughts.It is easy to marry a wife, but it is difficult to obtain a good wife, and what is even more difficult is to raise such sensible and pleasant children. It's a pity...it's a pity that this woman is a widow at such a young age...the fate is so hard.Madam Liu secretly sighed in her heart. Mu Ningyan took the child and resigned.After walking a few steps, he found that there was still residue of hibiscus cake on Yanxing's mouth, so he took a silk cloth and wiped it off for him. Because it is autumn, there is a strong wind in the garden.When she moved her finger, a gust of west wind came, and the silk flew away like a butterfly.Before she could react, Yanxing had already set off to chase her. This is the back garden of the Liu Mansion. She was afraid that the master would blame her, so she hurriedly said: "Yan'er, don't chase me anymore." Yan Xing had already chased further and further, and his back disappeared behind a rockery. We're here." Suddenly, there was an exclamation of "Ouch" from behind the rockery. She was startled, and hurried over, only to see a few people behind the rockery.They were probably enjoying the scenery, but because one of them collided with Yan Xing, they had already turned around at this time. Only a familiar voice sounded slowly, with an unbelievable surprise: "Miss..." She had already bent over, trying to help Yan Xing up, but the voice made her froze, it was clearly Zhou Xing.Even after all these years, she heard it immediately.You know, Zhou Xing is one of his most capable subordinates, he loves to take him with him when he goes out for a walk. She froze there like a stone pillar.It took a long time before he had the strength to raise his eyes. What catches the eye is a sapphire brocade sachet with the word longevity.The body trembled involuntarily.Even if the sachet turned to ashes, she would still recognize it.She embroidered it with her own hands, and because she was forced by him to embroider it to him reluctantly, so she embroidered it for half a year.By the time it was finished, his birthday had passed a long time ago.Perhaps it was because she had been embroidering for so long, even though she refused to admit it, she knew clearly in her heart that this was the best embroidery she had ever embroidered in her life. Raising his eyes one by one, a familiar face was staring at her with a serious face at this time, his eyes were like knives, cold and unfathomable.The one holding his hand is Yan Xing! She only felt a blackness in front of her eyes, and passed out. She would never want to wake up if she could.That way, you can never have to see him again.However, there is no if in this world! At this moment, she is being locked up by him in his Luozhou mansion, and she is told that she should not respond every day, and that the earth is not working. He sat by the bed and stared at her, his voice was so cold that there was no warmth: "Mu Ningyan, run away, run away for me again. Try running away for me again!" She watched him approaching little by little in fear.He smiled coldly: "I want you to know what it means not to live and not to die!" He locked her in the house and never allowed her to see Yanxing again.She begged him, she begged him every night, but he just looked at her coldly and ignored her. Finally, one day, he said, "As long as you promise me one thing, I'll let you be with the child." She nodded her head like a pest, for fear that he would go back on his word. As a bully, it's rare for him to do good every day. "Okay, okay, tell me, I'll give you anything." He took a deep look at her: "From now on, you are not allowed to leave my side. You can go wherever I go. Even if I go to hell, you have to be with me." She looked at him, not understanding the flickering light in his eyes, but still nodded slowly. He seemed a little happy, and slowly lowered his head. He will never let her take a step away in this life!
