Mugui

Chapter 137
There is a large rockery in sight, and the faint sound of running water is just in response to the phrase "straight to the point".

The rockery is covered with green and fragrant vines, with small purple and yellow flowers, which are fragrant, and butterflies of various colors shuttle among them.

Perhaps it was due to the running water, which made people feel cool immediately.

The ball in Mu Chen's arms twitched his nose, stretched out his short hand, trying to catch the butterfly in the air.

Bypassing the rockery, they saw a large lake. Everyone followed the wooden bridge on the lake and walked all the way to the depths.

Yang Mu hugged his younger brother, looked east and west, secretly amazed, the Duke Huguo's mansion was bigger than she imagined, the backyard alone was comparable to the size of more than a dozen Hangzhou mansions.

After Guo's mother entered the mansion, she went to the backyard to report to Mrs. Guo, and Wan's mother followed her to serve.

Mama Wan carefully observed the expression of the second young lady all the way.

The strange thing is that the second young lady who was born in the countryside was so neglected that she was neither humble nor overbearing, she just looked around curiously.

She remembered that when she was in Baiyun County, Second Miss left Cherry alone, and she thought that Cherry used some means to make Second Miss stay.

Looking at the appearance of the second young lady now, maybe it was because her eyes were so sharp that she could tell at a glance that Cherry was sent by her biological mother as a "person of her own"?

Mother Wan thought to herself, she must find an opportunity to talk to Mrs. Shizi carefully, and she must be wary of this concubine second lady.Having Aunt Hua, a vicious girl, is enough to be an eyesore, and if there is another second lady, I'm afraid Mrs. Shizi will have a hard time.

The wooden bridge leads to a pavilion in the center of the lake, before winding south again.

After getting off the wooden bridge, there is a very grand courtyard with the words "Jingfuyuan" written on the plaque at the gate of the courtyard.

Yang Mo introduced with a smile: "Here we are."

Lin Xiao had been here before, so he naturally knew that this was the residence of Mrs. Chen, so he nodded slightly and said, "I haven't seen Mrs. Guo for a long time."

He glanced sideways at Yang Mu, who looked fresh in everything, and sighed slightly in his heart. It seemed that the Yang family didn't value this girl so much, otherwise Yang Mo wouldn't have acted so obviously.

Mrs. Bao said in a low voice while helping Yang Mu to hold the hairpin, "Get off the horse, it's common in the backyard."

She said so, but in her heart she felt that the Yang family had gone too far.No matter how much she doesn't like Mu girl, she is still a daughter of the Yang family who has been separated for ten years, so she shouldn't be so obvious in front of Lin Xiao, an outsider.

The Yang family has been rich and honored for decades, don't you understand this?

Suddenly, her heart moved, and she understood why the Yang family had such an attitude.

Mu girl was married before!Now that he came back for no apparent reason, the Yang family might not like it.

Besides, the Duke's wife, Mrs. Chen, is still a daughter of the Chen family in the south of the Yangtze River, so I'm afraid that these rules are more important than anything else!
Mrs. Chen is unwilling to admit the granddaughter Mu Yatou to the outside world!

Mrs. Bao's face became gloomy, and she secretly complained about Yang Mu.Mu girl did nothing wrong, first she was bullied in the village, and now she is neglected by the Duke's mansion.

In Jingfu Courtyard, Mrs. Chen, the Duke's wife, was lying on the rug, and two maids beat her legs, while Guo's mother stood aside and whispered back.

"As soon as we arrived in Baiyun County, the second young master sent someone to the village to inquire, and the second young lady was already married! And she was looking for a son-in-law! She said it was a good husband.

"The second young master took people to the village, only to find out that the villager is Mr. Lin. Tsk tsk, the two live in the same yard, but I can't tell.

"Originally, the old slave was going to teach the rules of the second lady's mansion on the way, but the palace official Bao didn't know why, and escorted the second lady all the way.

"In addition, Lin Shizi also went back to the capital with the second lady, and this old slave didn't dare to go too far, for fear of losing the face of our Duke's Mansion."

Seeing Chen's complexion getting worse and worse, Guo's mother said cautiously: "Now that Mr. Lin and Mrs. Bao are accompanying Miss Er, they must come to the inner court to pay their respects. Madam, what should we do about this?"

Mrs. Chen sat up slowly, and snorted coldly: "Our Yang family will not recognize a married woman!"

Guo's mother reminded: "But, Lin Shizi sent it back in person, could it be that he really has a heart for the second lady?"

Chen said disdainfully: "Shizi Lin? What kind of identity is that! That is the son of Prince Ding's mansion! Will he grow up in a village? Even if he has some gratitude, he is still a concubine at most. How could he marry her as a concubine?" wife?"

Guo's mother reminded: "If the second lady really becomes Lin Shizi's concubine, maybe she will also be a help for the Yang family in the future?"

Mrs. Chen sighed, and said: "I was planning to send her to be a concubine to Governor Situ, but it seems impossible."

An old nanny standing beside her smiled and persuaded: "Madam, there is no need to be sorry, this second young lady was originally picked up, so it is good to be able to help the Yang family, if not, the worst thing is to be indifferent."

Mrs. Chen frowned, and said, "Forget it, let's look at Shizi Lin's attitude. Nanny Wang, you and Mama Guo went out to greet you. After all, you are the son of the royal family, so don't be too negligent."

The old mother responded and went out with Guo's mother.

……

The gate of Jingfuyuan was wide open, and there were two well-dressed ladies standing by the gate, seeing the crowd coming, they hurriedly smiled and came over to greet them.

Mother Wang and Mother Guo came out from inside.

Wang Momo led a few women and bowed slightly to the crowd, and said, "Madam, please come in."

Everyone filed into the gate, passed through the atrium, and entered the hall.

Yang Mu secretly warned himself that he would have to find out about the Zhulin killer in the future, so keep everything low-key and don't arouse others' vigilance.

Mrs. Chen was wearing a blue peony embroidered double-breasted armor, sitting on the head seat, surrounded by many maids and women, all holding their breath and concentrating.

Lin Xiaodang gave a junior salute first, and said, "Mrs. Gongfu is well."

Mrs. Chen nodded slightly, waved her hand, and said, "Shizi Lin must be tired after returning from a long journey, so sit down and have a sip of tea."

After Yang Mo saluted, Chen Shi didn't need to say anything, he found a seat and sat down.

Seeing that no one had taken down the futon for her to kowtow to, Yang Mu simply saluted casually and found a place to sit down.

Mrs. Bao said before that even if the juniors bow down to big families, they still need futons.

Since the Yang family despised her, she naturally would not stand there and enjoy the embarrassment alone, let alone kowtow to an old woman who looked down on her on the hard floor.

Chen's eyelids twitched, and she secretly disliked that her granddaughter, who was born in the countryside, would not be able to appear on the stage, and she would not even kowtow to her grandmother when she saw her.

It's just that Lin Xiao, an outsider, is here, and Mrs. Bao, an old man who came out of the palace, so it's just as if he didn't see Yang Mu's rudeness.

It was so good, she didn't have to recognize this granddaughter who married without permission in front of outsiders.
