"It must be someone close to the Second Madam!" Aunt Yuan said angrily, "Isn't it obvious? You just walked away from the First Madam, and you showed signs of being poisoned. If it was someone else, you would guess without even thinking about it. It is Da Furen who refuses to tolerate you, so she made such a ruthless move."

Mu Ruolan didn't remember that she had any contact with the second wife or the people around her. On this day, except to go to the temple to burn incense, she never left her courtyard.

Prince Xuan spends most of his time with the second wife, and spends the rest of the time with the eldest lady. He doesn't care about her, the weak and silent third wife, and rarely comes over, especially in the past few years. Have a meal.

"It'll be better if you rest for a while, it's fine." Mu Ruolan felt that the pain in her chest didn't feel so bad, she forced a smile and said, "It's getting late, you should go back too, take another ten steps, and you'll be there."

Aunt Yuan thought for a long time, but didn't insist, she turned and walked away.

Mu Ruolan sat for a while and felt better. She was about to stand up when she heard footsteps coming from the direction where she lived. It was her son Xuan Jinmo who was very familiar.

"Mother, why are you sitting here? The stone bench is cold. Be careful. I'll help you go back." Xuan Jin walked a few steps silently, stretched out his hand to help Mu Ruolan up, and found that the clothes on his mother's body were all wet. His hands were also cold, "Mom, how long have you been here? Your hands are freezing."

"It's only been a while, it's okay." Mu Ruolan smiled lightly. The son stood taller than her by a head, with broad shoulders and a straight back. She liked it very much. Most of the son looked like her, Daughter Xuan Jinyan is more like their father.

Xuan Jinmo helped his mother back to the place where they lived. There was no one to wait on them. The servants only came during the day, and at night, there were only four of them and the nanny.

"Mother, you take a break first, I'll boil some water, your clothes are wet, wipe it with a dry towel first, the hot water will be fine after a while." Master Xuan Jinmo arranged in a very mature tone, The expression on his face was still a little green.

Mu Ruolan smiled comfortingly, nodded, and watched her son leave.

In fact, she also knew that the eldest lady just wanted to adopt Jin Mo and Jin Yan, let Jin Mo inherit the Xuan family's property, and let Jin Yan marry a certain young master of the Tong family when she became an adult.However, she does not want her son to intervene in the family property dispute, and would rather her son live a stable life.

Although she had never had much conflict with the second wife, she knew how cruel and scheming the second wife was. She really didn't want her son and daughter to live on top of the limelight.

Xuan Jinmo went into the small kitchen in the courtyard.The stove fire had been extinguished, so he re-ignited the stove fire and chopped some wood. Although he is the third young master of Prince Xuan's mansion, he would often do these clumsy things, especially at night, when there were only their mothers.

Watching the water in the pot slowly form small blisters, the stove fire illuminated Xuan Jinmo's face, and his eyes were bright and compelling against the stove fire.Suddenly, I heard the nanny's busy voice:

"Master Jin Mo! Master Jin Mo!!—"

Xuan Jinmo stood up immediately. When she went out, the nanny was resting in the back room with her arms around her sister. Now she suddenly yelled like this, something must have happened!

"Nurse, what's the matter?" Although Xuan Jinmo was a little anxious, his tone was still calm.

The nanny stood at the door, her face was blue, she seemed to be frightened, she pointed behind her, her voice was trembling, and she repeated: "Third madam, third madam, she, she, she—"
