The general's wife is pretending to be weak again

Chapter 372

When lunch was approaching, the door of Duke Dingguo's mansion was knocked.

The servants of Duke Dingguo's mansion opened the door and hurriedly saluted the people outside.

"It turns out that Miss Biao is back. Miss Biao, go in quickly. The old lady is thinking about you every day."

Guo Nian'er was not at all happy, she grabbed the servant by the collar and asked, "Where's the big cousin? They said that the cousin was put in prison, is it true?"

The servant hurriedly said: "It's true, the young master has been imprisoned for a while."

Guo Nian'er left the servants behind and hurried to the mansion.

She almost rushed into Mrs. Mu's room.

Seeing the dusty Guo Nian'er, Mrs. Mu was both happy and distressed. She touched Guo Nian'er's rough cheek due to the long journey, not knowing what to do with this wayward child.

Feeling the warmth of Mrs. Mu's palm, Guo Nian'er burst into tears, "Grandma, why didn't you tell me about such a big incident at home."

Thinking of Mu Jiayan who was still in the prison, Mrs. Mu choked up, tears streaming down her cheeks, "You also know about your cousin being put in the prison, right? No matter how many people you beg, the virtuous king won't let him go." I don't know what his body has become, and whether he will come back alive."

The grandparents and grandchildren hugged each other and cried.

The servants in the room listened and wiped away their tears.

Mama Wang wiped away her tears, and stepped forward to persuade: "Old lady, Miss Biao, please stop crying. Old lady, Miss Biao came all the way here, do you have to prepare a feast for Miss Biao?"

"Yes, yes, yes," Mrs. Mu laughed, "No, to make the family happy. Mama Wang, go tell the third daughter-in-law that the welcome banquet must be a special one."

"Yes, I'm going now, old slave." Mother Wang went out, not forgetting to wink at the other maids, telling them to persuade them.

Under the persuasion of the maids, Mrs. Mu and Guo Nian'er finally stopped crying.

Mrs. Mu persuaded Guo Nian'er to wash up and get a good night's sleep.

Everyone in Dingguo's mansion was very happy to know that Guo Nian'er was back.

Even the Second Master and Third Master Mu showed up at the reception banquet in the evening.

Mrs. Mu and Guo Nian'er forced smiles, and the forced smiles made others look at them, making them feel uncomfortable.

Mu Qingyu walked over and said pleasantly, "Why didn't you tell me before you came, so that I can pick you up at the pier."

Guo Nian'er twitched the corners of her mouth, "It's okay, I know the way. Sis, please sit beside me."

With that said, she had pulled Mu Qingyu to sit beside her.

When Mu Qingqiu arrived, he naturally sat down beside Mu Qingyu.

Although Mu Erye and Mu Sanye were also there, they didn't say a word and just drank with a straight face.

Mrs. Mu and Guo Nian'er had Mu Jiayan in their hearts, but they couldn't get up.

A banquet to cleanse the wind and cleanse the dust made everyone feel uncomfortable after eating.

Mu Erye and Mu Sanye simply ate some food and left, followed by the men, leaving only the female relatives in the room.

Guo Nian'er and Tong Qiurui had never met before, after they got to know each other, they took another look at Mu Shuxiao, and Guo Nian'er lost interest.

Mrs. Mu felt sorry for Guo Nian'er, and hurriedly told everyone to disperse, wanting Guo Nian'er to have a good rest.

"Grandma, I haven't seen my cousins ​​for a long time, I want to see them off," Guo Nian'er said.

"Alright, come back earlier." Mrs. Mu readily agreed.

Guo Nian'er sent Mu Qingyu and Mu Qingqiu out, the three of them were silent, they walked to the third room first, and Mu Qingqiu went back.

"Cousin, I believe that General Li will return safely." After Mu Qingqiu left, Guo Nian'er immediately comforted her.

Mu Qingyu glanced at Guo Nian'er, lowered her eyes, and hummed.

There was silence between the two again, and the maids consciously followed three steps away, quietly walking behind.

Mu Qingyu pondered for a while, then said softly: "Don't worry, big brother will be fine."

Guo Nian'er's eyes lit up, both surprised and delighted.For some reason, she believed every word Mu Qingyu said.

"That's great, cousin, you don't know. I know that after my cousin was locked up, he couldn't eat well or sleep well, and couldn't stay at home at all, so he came out without telling my parents." Guo Nian'er breathed a sigh of relief. , There is also a smile on the face.

After laughing for a while, she frowned again, "But my cousin will have to suffer a lot if he is locked in a prison."

"That's natural, but this is the big brother's own decision. No matter how much he suffers, the big brother must be willing to do it, and maybe he will be happy." Mu Qingyu stopped, daring not to say more.

Guo Nian'er nodded emphatically, "No matter what my cousin does, I will support him."

Mu Qingyu smiled, "Since my cousin is relieved, there's no need to send it off, go back quickly. Grandma must have a lot to say to you."

Guo Nian'er was not polite to her either, "Then I'll go back."

Mu Qingyu looked back, Guo Nian'er's pace became much easier.

She looked back with confidence and went to the second room.

Mo Zhu walked to Mu Qingyu's side calmly, and reminded: "Miss, it's dark at night, step carefully."

"Ah."

In the early morning of the second day, Miao Xiang went out to inquire about the news again, she was already familiar with the road.

After walking through the crowd a few times, she found out the latest news, and hurried back to tell Mu Qingyu.

Back in the second room, Mu Qingyu had already got up.

Mu Qingyu glanced at Miao Xiang with a smile, seeing that Miao Xiang's chatterbox was almost unstoppable, and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Miss, I heard that Princess Kang Yuezhang was forced to death by them in the middle of the night yesterday! Many people who got up early to go to work in the countryside saw them moving Princess Kang Yuezhang's body to the back mountain. You want to destroy the corpse and wipe out the traces." Miao Xiang finished in one breath.

Mu Qingyu couldn't help being surprised, she had never seen Princess Kang Yue in a downturn, she only remembered the time when Princess Kang Yue was in glory.

Unexpectedly, the eldest princess would end up in such a fate, which is really emotional.

"I see. Please carefully tell the people in the yard not to talk nonsense, so as not to cause trouble for yourself." Mu Qingyu's tone could not detect any emotion.

"The servants know." Mo Zhu and Miao Xiang said at the same time.

The death of Princess Kang Yuechang seemed to confirm that what she said was very credible.

Facing the rumors outside, Xian Wang became more and more irritable.

The servants who serve by his side must be careful.

Otherwise, if you accidentally offend this highness, it would be light to scold him.

I don't know when this Highness will return to the way he used to be, speaking softly and without airs to his servants.

King Xian didn't want to be so aggrieved anymore, he made up his mind to advance his ascension to the throne.

When he becomes an existence above ten thousand people, let's see who dares to make irresponsible remarks behind his back.

It's just that his idea has just taken shape, and he hasn't put it into action. A news from the border disrupted his plan.
