Mugui

Seeing that the new king was still undecided, people in the palace were in a state of confusion. Someone had already quietly shown their favor to Princess Shu, fearing that it would be Li You, an infant, who would ascend the throne in the future.

Yang Mu refused to enter the palace due to the sudden increase in visitors unless they had a palace badge.

How many people secretly cursed Yang Mu behind his back for using chicken feathers as a ceremonial arrow.

But they only dared to complain behind their backs and did not dare to show their dissatisfaction in person.

As a woman married to the Yang family and the Lin family, Yang Mu was protected by the Empress Dowager in the palace, and she also had military power in her hands. She was no longer comparable to ordinary women.

That afternoon, He Sanniang and Xuanyin came to say goodbye, saying they were going back to the sect to get married.

Yang Mu knew he couldn't stay, so he asked the two of them to leave before the city gate closed and stay in the villa for one night before returning to the sect.

This was nothing at all. People in the world often travel on the fly.

The person Yang Mu had been waiting for these past few days finally showed up. He had to do a big thing tomorrow. Yang Mu arranged for him to take a break, then explained everything, and invited Yang Siyue to come back and take charge.

When Yang Mu returned to the house in the evening, Lin Xiao had already returned.

Seeing Yang Mu come back, Lin Xiao couldn't wait to pull him into the study, closed the door, and said, "I heard that Queen Mother Sheng met the Cao family, and that Cao Lu once went to the palace?"

The military camp was busy during this period, and Yang Mu didn't mention it, so Lin Xiao only found out about it today.

Yang Mu nodded and told Lin Xiao what happened during this period, and then said: "This is the same thing I asked my father to come back tomorrow."

Lin Xiao's eyes became sinister and he said: "They want the Suzaku Army, so they want to push you into the quagmire."

Yang Mu nodded slightly and said: "Now that the mother-concubine matter has been found out, all that is left is to spy on the father's attitude towards this matter."

Lin Xiao sighed and said, "I have found out about this matter."

Looking at his wife's bright and curious eyes, Lin Xiao found it difficult to open his mouth. After a while, he said: "My father thought that my mother had been sorry for him."

During this period of time, Lin Xiao had asked Lin Mao many things in a circumstantial manner. In the end, he had no idea and could only ask his father's old lieutenant. After a lot of hard work and getting him drunk, he got the answer.

"My father once saw with his own eyes that when my mother-in-law was pregnant, she was sending someone out of the city at Shiliting. The song played was 'Endure Parting'."

Yang Mu knew nothing about the music and asked, "What's unusual about this music?"

Lin Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "It's a song from the previous dynasty. It talks about the pain of separation when people who love each other have to be separated."

Yang Mu asked in surprise: "Who is that person?"

Lin Xiao glanced at Yang Mu and said after a while: "My cousin, my mother's cousin, is also the current head of the Bai family and the richest man in Dashun - Bai Tang."

Yang Mu used the logic of his pitiful relatives to calculate this relationship, which meant that the prince charming in the heart of the late princess Sun Ning was his cousin Bai Tang, the child of Lin Xiao's grandmother's brother.

gosh.

Lin Xiao looked at his confused wife, and his heart relaxed a little. He hugged his wife and said, "My cousin is in his house in the capital now."

Yang Mu's eyes lit up and he asked, "Then we should go visit."

Lin Xiao smiled seductively, poured a cup of tea for his wife, and said: "It's not that I don't fulfill my filial piety to my nephew, it's not that I don't visit him. It's just that... after my mother passed away, he came to express his condolences. I don’t remember things at all, and I don’t know what happened. One day it was very unpleasant, and our two families stopped moving around after that.”

Yang Mu muttered: "Now if I want to avenge my mother and concubine, I'm afraid I have to go through the Bai family's door. It's a good opportunity for my father to return to the house tomorrow."

Once Lin Mao enters the palace, he will probably have no time to worry about matters at home.

Lin Xiao saw his wife working hard, how could he feel discouraged?

Yang Mu stood up, pulled Lin Xiao and said, "Let's go now."

It was actually very impolite to come to the door at night, but tomorrow Yang Mu wanted to pull Cao down, so he had to solve this problem today.

The Bai family was once a prominent family with bells and pans and the highest honor in the country.

The first richest man in the Bai family, Mr. Bai Sanye, was once an abandoned son of Duke Dingguo.Later, abandoning the son became a big deal, but the family fell into despair.

The Bai family has many houses in the capital. The most famous one is Zixueyuan. The Bai family lives in Zixueyuan most of the time in the capital.

When Yang Mu and Lin Xiao came to the door with gifts, the lights were already on.

The old servant came to open the door and saw two unknown young couples. He was surprised and said, "Who are you looking for?"

Lin Xiao bowed slightly and said, "Junior Lin Xiao, please see my uncle."

Hearing the name "Lin Xiao", the old servant was stunned for a while, then came to his senses and said with a complicated expression: "Come in first and wait, I will report."

Lin Xiao didn't expect that it would be so easy to get in, so he ordered the driver to drive the carriage and horses into the garden.

The two of them were arranged to drink tea and eat fruits in a small room in the courtyard, and the old servant carried a lantern to inform them.

The two waited for a long time before the old servant came back and said with some embarrassment: "I'm really sorry, the master has gone to bed and will not see the guests."

Lin Xiao stood up and said, "I'd like to bother you, old man, and let me know again. It's about my mother. My nephew must see his cousin today!"

The old servant hesitated a few times, but seeing Lin Xiao's resolute attitude, he had no choice but to say: "Then... Brother, wait a little longer, the old man will go again."

Lin Xiao said hurriedly: "Thank you."

Yang Mu also stood up and said, "It seems that my uncle doesn't want to see us."

People who don't have official positions and don't have to go to court early should not fall asleep so early at this hour.

This time the old servant came back quickly and said with joy: "Brother, I agree to see you."

Lin Xiao thanked him and looked at Yang Mu happily.

The old servant took the two of them to the second gate, where the mother-in-law was waiting.

Yang Mu thrust a gold ingot to the old servant and said, "Thank you, old man."

The old servant hurriedly waved his hand and said no, but Yang Mu forced it into his hand.

The old servant reluctantly accepted it, with tears in his eyes.

The housekeeper took the two of them through the courtyard with each scene, and finally stopped at a courtyard called "Zuiwei Garden".

The yard seemed to have been deserted all year round, giving it a deserted smell.

Candles were lit in the main room, the door was open, and Lin Xiao and Yang Mu walked in.

There was no one in the main hall, and the candles were lit in the side room.

There is a person sitting at the round table in the side room. He has a tall figure and a straight waist, and his long and white fingers are caressing a palm-sized golden abacus.

Hearing the two people coming in, the man turned his head, and Yang Mu, who was used to seeing Lin Xiao's beautiful appearance, couldn't help but marvel in his heart.

This uncle is so handsome!
Dressed in white, she has an elegant temperament, eyes like stars, and eyebrows like sword blades.

Bai Tang looked at the two of them with starry eyes and said, "Brother Xiao?"

His voice was gentle and clear, like an expert from this world.

Lin Xiao looked at Bai Tang's appearance and was in a daze for a moment. It was at least [-]% similar to the portrait of his mother hanging in Lin Mao's study.

Yang Mu saluted slightly and said, "My uncle is well."

Lin Xiao came to his senses and saluted.

Bai Tang waved his hand and said: "Sit down." (End of Chapter)
