Metaphysical Talisman Wife Fortune-telling Spirit: Orion eats chaff and I eat meat

Chapter 494: Chaos in the Shangshu Mansion
Thinking of Mu Yun's thoughtfulness, Minister Jin softened his heart and turned to look at the steward.

"Before the lady comes back, if any word of this matter leaks out, you don't have to stay."

The manager quickly agreed and went to make the arrangements.

When Madam Wen brought the eldest daughter back home, Minister Jin looked at the lotus flowers that had grown much whiter and felt mixed emotions.

It was only then that Jin Muyun realized that he was not the child of Minister Jin and Madam Wen, but the child of Master Jin and the driven-out maid...

Mu Yun went on a hunger strike that day.

Minister Jin likes Mu Yun, and discusses with Madam Wen: It's not like the family is starving, so why not keep Mu Yun, since he is also a child of the Jin family...

Mrs. Wen was not happy: the daughter of the culprit who had let her daughter wander outside for more than ten years actually wanted to stay in the Jin family? !

She advocated sending Mu Yun to Mr. Jin.

But Minister Jin's words made her shut up.

"My sister-in-law has always been a hot-tempered person. After the second brother died, she shut herself in and lived a secluded life. Now you're pushing a concubine's daughter into her house. How can she live?!"

Mrs. Wen felt soft-hearted and thought that it was indeed the case, so she ran to discuss with Hehua: Can Mu Yun stay?

Lotus is an open-minded person. She now just thinks that good days are a gift from the sky. Why would she care whether others have taken over her place?
Lotus nodded immediately.

Mrs. Wen breathed a sigh of relief and ran to talk to Mu Yun, persuading her to eat.

But what happened next gradually deviated from everyone's original idea.

Mu Yun was a thoughtful person. He first wanted to move out of Qingyun Pavilion where he lived, saying that he was not worthy of it.

After Madam Wen and Minister Jin repeatedly told her not to be so fussy, she then offered to give all her gold and silver jewelry to Hehua.

Mrs. Wen told her that it was not necessary, but she insisted on sending it over, and actually carried the jewelry box over...

At this time, Jin Muyun's background spread outside.

The daughter of the famous Shangshu in the capital is actually a concubine's daughter?
For so many years, the cuckoo has taken over the magpie's nest? !

It caused a lot of uproar for a while.

Minister Jin was afraid that it would damage his reputation as an official, so he specially held a banquet to acknowledge Hehua's identity as the eldest daughter to everyone and explained his plans.

Minister Jin adopted Mu Yun as his adopted daughter, and she will still marry off like a legitimate daughter in the future.

Although everyone said congratulations on the surface, they felt in their hearts that "it's different after all".

Just as the banquet was over, Mrs. Wen was shocked to hear that the second wife had hanged herself!

Fortunately, the personal nanny discovered it quickly and rescued the person.

Mrs. Wen was in a hurry to comfort the second wife.

It turned out that the second wife heard the rumors outside, felt ashamed, and didn't want to live anymore.

After two days of persuasion, the Second Lady had just been appeased, but Mrs. Wen heard from outside that there was a change in Jin Muyun's marriage.

The marriage of the eldest son of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion was originally scheduled, but the Duke of Anguo's Mansion now intends to cancel the engagement.

After all, the Crown Prince will take over the Anguo Mansion in the future, and the Anguo Duke and his wife both think that it is inappropriate to let a concubine's daughter become the future Anguo Duke's wife.

When Mu Yun heard this, he fell ill.

But the Prince of Anguo was deeply in love with Mu Yun and they had fallen in love with each other a long time ago.

Upon hearing the news, the Prince of Anguo went on a hunger strike at home, saying that he would not marry anyone other than Mu Yun in this life, and that he would never marry that vulgar country girl! The people in the Anguo Mansion were in an uproar.

At this time, Lotus finally couldn't stand the strict rules given by the tutor in the palace and didn't want to learn the rules anymore.

After going to Yihe Tower several times with her half-brother Jin Yilin, Hehua actually felt that doing business was a good idea and said she wanted to learn how to do business.

A rich lady, she didn't learn the rules well, she's not good at music, chess, calligraphy or painting, and she still wants to learn how to do business...

Pian Hehua has reached the age of marriage, how can she find a suitable family in this situation? !
Mrs. Wen was angry and tired, and only then did she deeply realize what Xiao Luoyi had said at the beginning.

It turns out that it is not as simple as bringing your own daughter back home!
How many human relationships need to be rebalanced? How can they be rebalanced?

Mrs. Wen finally fell ill.

With Mrs. Wen falling ill, everything seemed to have come to a halt.

Minister Jin ordered that Madam Wen should rest and recuperate, and that no news from outside should be passed on to her. If it caused any harm to her, no one would be in good shape.

Hehua no longer followed Jin Yilin to go to Yihe Tower. She served her mother medicine every day and was willing to go if a nanny was found for her.

But the little girl, who originally had a bright and cheerful face, gradually became silent and her smile disappeared.

One day, Mrs. Wen woke up from a nap and found He Hua sitting by the bed, with her hands on her chin, looking out the window.

There is a nest of birds in the tree outside the window, flying in and out noisily.

There was a pile of melon seeds in front of Lotus. She was peeling them one by one and throwing them to the little bird to eat. Her face was full of envy, and she was whispering to it in a low voice.

"Fly away when you're full. You can leave at will, but I can't..."

Mrs. Wen felt a pang of pain in her heart, and suddenly began to regret: Hehua is so old, and she is just starting to learn the rules from scratch. It will take at least three to five years to learn how to do it well.

But after three or five years, she will be an old maid, how can she find someone? !
It also wore away her originally straightforward and bright personality.

Now Mu Yun makes a fuss at every turn. If Lotus is involved, it will be a huge loss!
After figuring it out, Mrs. Wen called He Hua over and said, "I heard you want to learn how to do business?"

Lotus' eyes lit up immediately, and she nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes! I want to learn!"

"If you want to learn, then learn! Go and ask someone to call Yilin over..."

Mrs. Wen entrusted the lotus to Jin Yilin and asked him to teach her how to do business...

Jin Yilin was worried that there would be a day when he would be able to do business with his eldest daughter. He felt trusted and under great pressure at the same time, so he agreed with great trepidation.

Hehua was overjoyed that her biological mother was willing to let her go out with her half-brother to learn how to do business!
After confirming that her mother was serious and not speaking sarcastically, Hehua left happily.

Mrs. Wen missed Xiao Luoyi more and more.

All the situations that the Princess had described at the beginning had occurred one by one, but she had thought that she could handle it. But now she was slapped in the face: she couldn't handle it at all!
Mrs. Wen couldn't help feeling resentful when she thought of Mu Yun who was also ill.

After all, she is not her biological child. After knowing that, Mu Yun didn't care about the difficulties of being a mother at all, and just did what she wanted!

After much deliberation, Mrs. Wen decided to start from the Anguo Mansion.

We must find out the true intentions of the Duke of Anguo before we can decide how to deal with this matter.

It would be inappropriate to go and inquire in person, so Mrs. Wen's attention fell on the wife of General Luo.

Duke Anguo is on good terms with General Luo, and General Luo's illegitimate son Luo Hongzhang is on good terms with his own illegitimate son Jin Yilin, and the two are doing business together with Prince Xing...

With this relationship, it would be easier for General Luo's wife, Yuan, to ask about the situation...
