The general's wife is pretending to be weak again

Chapter 355

After taking care of the funeral affairs of the first emperor and the crown prince, it will be the first month.

Of the late emperor's grown-up sons, only the virtuous king was left, and the virtuous king even more legitimately stayed in the late emperor's imperial study, dealing with court affairs.

The virtuous king has long had a good reputation, and when the first emperor was alive, he also paid much attention to the virtuous king.

With the strong advice of all the ministers, the Wangxian Wang inherited the crown prince.

But Xian Wang tried his best to refuse, in order to remember the former prince, he did not want to inherit the position of prince.

Everyone praised Wang Rende again.

The news spread to Duke Dingguo's mansion, and almost everyone in Dingguo's mansion felt sorry for Mu Qingxue's good life.

Mu Qingxue is just an outsider's daughter, and she is about to become the mother of a country!

In Mu Qingyu's courtyard, under the beatings of Mo Zhu and Miao Xiang, no one dared to mention Mu Qingxue.

But Sui'er couldn't bear it, and wanted to go to Xian Wang's mansion.

General Li's life and death are unknown, and the virtuous king will inherit the throne.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows who is more worthy of allegiance, Mu Qingyu or Mu Qingxue.

Sui'er is not young anymore, for her future, she has to go all out.

If she succeeds, she will be able to stand up and have a bright future.

Sui'er slipped out of the Duke's mansion, and Mo Zhu told Mu Qingyu on the back.

"Let her go," Mu Qingyu said in a flat tone, "I didn't expect her to be loyal to me. Besides her, there must be many people who want to curry favor with Fourth Sister. There are also such people, You just go with them."

"Yes."

Mu Qingyu continued to lower her head to straighten the silk thread, and after a while, the originally messy silk threads became smooth in her hands one by one.

Her thoughts also became smoother.

Everyone said that Li Zhao's life and death were unknown, but she knew that Li Zhao was alive and well.

As for why Li Zhao is like this, there must be his reasons.

Mu Qingyu always felt that the virtuous king would not go so smoothly.

After finishing the silk thread, Miaoxiang just came in.

"Miss, Aunt Yue has already entered the city with the young master." Miao Xiang replied.

Mu Qingyu raised his eyebrows, "It took only a few days for them to arrive? It's really embarrassing for Shurui, he's not in good health, and he's going to be exhausted by boats and cars. Where are they now?"

"Aunt Yue has spent all her money, and is trying to find a way with the young master to go to Xian Wang's mansion to see Miss Fourth."

"Aunt Yue took care of my father, you go find a carriage and take them to the Prince Xian's mansion, don't ask them to stay on the street."

"Yes, the servant knows."

Miao Xiang went out.

Mo Zhu didn't understand why Mu Qingyu wanted to help Aunt Yue, did Miss Yue forget all the wrong things Aunt Yue did?

But as long as it was Mu Qingyu's decision, Mo Zhu would have no objection.

The matter of King Xian's refusal to be a crown prince spread to Prince Xian's mansion.

Mu Qingxue was very disappointed, she was almost going to become a princess.

Besides this, she has more worrying things.

She found that the Xian Wang was choosing a side concubine for him openly and aboveboard.

The selected side concubines are all from powerful families, born and educated young ladies.

The one she could rely on in the past was Li Zhao, the second brother-in-law.

Li Zhao's life and death are unknown, she is useless to King Xian.

Maybe one day the virtuous king will abandon her like a shoe.

She couldn't just sit and wait to die, she had to figure out a countermeasure.

Before she could figure out a solution, there was one more worrying thing.

"Princess, my aunt and the young master are at the gate of the palace, saying they want to see the concubine." Chunhong said.

"You can find any reason to tell them to go back to Duke Dingguo's mansion first." Mu Qingxue said impatiently.

The appearance of Wang Yueniang will only remind the Xian Wang of the unhappiness in the past.

"Auntie refuses to leave." Chunhong said in embarrassment.

Mu Qingxue became more and more irritable.

Chunhong persuaded: "Auntie has been outside for a long time, I'm afraid others will know."

"Bring them in quickly," Mu Qingxue thought for a while, then added, "Don't go through the main entrance, go around the side entrance."

"Yes." Chunhong went out.

After a while, Chunhong brought Wang Yueniang and Mu Shurui in.

After Wang Yueniang's careful care, Mu Shurui was able to walk on crutches.

It's just that she walks extremely slowly and needs Wang Yueniang's support from time to time.

Chunhong was extremely patient, avoided the servants of the palace, and led the two to meet Mu Qingxue.

"Mom!" Mu Qingxue choked up and threw herself into Wang Yueniang's arms.

Wang Yueniang embraced Mu Qingxue with a complicated expression.

Chunhong stood aside and could clearly see that Wang Yueniang's face was not full of joy, but more of calculations.

Chunhong panicked for a while, she lowered her head and stopped looking.

Mu Qingxue and Wang Yueniang hugged and cried for a while, but Mu Shurui almost couldn't stand up and fell, so the two separated, and the three of them went inside to sit down first.

"Mother, you are haggard." Mu Qingxue said distressedly.

On Wang Yueniang's face, one after another wrinkles were particularly conspicuous, and a lot of white hair grew on her temples.

If she stood with Mu Erye again, everyone would only regard her as a servant of Dingguo's mansion.

"I'm getting older, so I'm getting old. But you, who are younger, must be proud of the spring breeze, and you have a lot of energy." Wang Yueniang stretched out her hand to gently stroke Mu Qingxue's hair on the sideburns as before.

Mu Qingxue froze, resisting the urge to dodge.

"Sister, I'm hungry." Mu Shurui muttered.

"I was negligent, Chunhong, ask the kitchen to bring some food."

"Yes." Chunhong went out.

Wang Yueniang and Mu Qingxue talked to each other about their current situation, and there were some things that they both avoided talking about.

For example, why has Mu Qingxue not sent anything to Wang Yueniang for so long, not even a single letter.

After a while, Chunhong came over with a lot of food.

The three sat together and had a good meal.

Mu Qingxue looked at the sky outside, and said: "Mother, the prince will come out of the palace later."

The implication is that Wang Yueniang can take the initiative to take Mu Shurui away.

"Why doesn't the prince live in the palace?" Wang Yueniang asked.

"The prince is not a prince, so he cannot live in the palace."

Wang Yueniang smiled and said, "Isn't it a matter of time?"

Mu Qingxue pursed her lips and smiled, but said nothing.

After eating and drinking, Mu Shurui hiccupped and said sleepily, "Mom, I'm sleepy."

"Okay, I can rest now." After speaking, Wang Yueniang stared at Mu Qingxue quietly.

Mu Qingxue said: "I asked Chunhong to prepare the carriage and take you home."

"Family? Are you the designated Duke's mansion? Presumably the people inside will not welcome the two of us."

Wang Yueniang glanced at Mu Shurui again, the exhaustion of the journey made Mu Shurui suffer.

She said bluntly: "Xue'er, you can arrange a place for us in the palace. Even if it is a place where servants live, your brother needs to sleep right away."

Mu Qingxue smiled ugly: "I live in the palace, I'm afraid that the prince will be unhappy if he comes back and find out, and blame me for making decisions without authorization."

"Don't let him know? You are the princess, don't you even have this power? If we live outside and are seen by others, it will be even worse for you and the prince."

Hearing the threatening meaning in Wang Yueniang's words, Mu Qingxue had no choice but to call Chunhong to arrange a place for Wang Yueniang and them.
