The reborn prince's wife

Most of the servants of the Mu Mansion signed the death contract. Life and death are in the hands of the master of the Mu Mansion. It is true that they are beaten to death if they do something wrong. The government also acquiesces. With a tacit understanding, the servant's life is as light as an ant, and can be disposed of at will.

If Xiaotong's death happened in normal times, Zuo would just be a whitewashing incident, but this incident happened when the whole family was around, it would be completely different, with such a large number of servants standing aside watching , a mishandling, if it spreads out, it will definitely deal a huge blow to Mu Mansion's reputation.

Mu Qingyang's face was ashen, and she didn't speak. The day after tomorrow will be the old lady's birthday banquet. It's really unlucky that something like this happened now.

"What's going on? Tell me clearly." Mrs. Lin looked like a housewife. Everyone had different expressions. Only she calmly asked the maid who came to report the letter.

"Second Miss locked Xiaotong in the room and asked her to tell why she pushed the eldest lady into the lake, but Xiaotong insisted that she was wronged. Today, when the servants went to deliver dinner, they found no response in the room, so they pushed the door in. Only then did I realize that she actually... committed suicide." The maid was obviously frightened, her hands kept shaking, she knelt on the ground and swallowed her saliva, as if she was trying to calm herself down.

"Is the person dead?" Lin frowned.

"I'm still angry, but I've lost a lot of blood, I don't know if I can save it." The servant hurriedly replied.

"Hurry up and invite the doctor to take a look. It will be the old lady's birthday in two days. No one should die. Hurry up." As soon as Lin's words fell, the housekeeper immediately sent someone to find the doctor.

At this time, Lan Xicai came out, with tears in her eyes, stopped in front of her father, and said briskly, "Father, Xiaotong beat up and served her daughter, and now she has suffered such a great injustice, it is... to die Prove your innocence, my daughter believes that the elder sister fell into the water is really not her fault, please ask Daddy to give Xiaotong justice."

Liu Yun propped his head up, playing with the jade pendant in his hand, his expression was unclear, and he said nothing lazily.

"Yes, sir, Xiaotong has always been well-behaved and sensible. If the eldest lady hadn't insisted that it was her, I would not have believed it." Lin sighed, feeling quite emotional, "Master still remembers when Xiaotong was ten years old. , Lan Xi fell from the rockery, in order to protect Lan Xi, she did not hesitate to make herself a meat pad so that Lan Xi was not hurt, but she lay on the bed for more than a month, such a well-behaved child, the concubine is I really don't want to believe that she will murder the eldest lady."

These words were said so skillfully that people couldn't tell whether she was helping Xiaotong or Liuyun.

"Liuyun, what do you think?" Master Mu finally cast his eyes on Liuyun, and was slightly stunned when he saw her half-hanging head. Such an indifferent and distant appearance was very much like a deceased wife. The famous family and the ladies are always so indifferent, drifting away from the world.

"Father, didn't this matter be handed over to Lan Xi to handle it? Why are you asking me again?" Liu Yun spread his hands, as if throwing his hands away from the shopkeeper, and then glanced at Lan Xi, "If my sister can't handle it, come here. The matter, why didn’t you say it earlier, it’s all right now, you killed someone, what’s the matter? Grandma will come back in the future, if she finds out that someone died in your yard, she must be unhappy, you still Go back and deal with the matter earlier, don't talk too much here."

When Liu Yun said this, Lan Xi pursed her lips tightly and was speechless. She wanted to pull Liu Yun into the water because of this, but she didn't expect to be completely thrown away by her. She clenched her fists and closed her eyes and eyes By the way, "It's Lan Xi who is stupid, please give my elder sister some pointers."

"Sister, are you kidding me? Who doesn't know that the second young lady of our Mu Mansion is extremely talented, but the number one talented woman in Linyang City, if there is something that my younger sister can't solve, what can I, an ignorant young lady, give me advice?" Liu Yun used to say such sour words, but this time she looked down on Lan Xi like a high-ranking young lady, with a strong sense of ridicule and disdain, without the slightest bit of inferiority or complaint, on the contrary she was full of dignity.

"Eldest sister... what are you talking about..." Lan Xi laughed.

"Besides, if my sister really can't handle it, she should ask Aunt Lin. My aunt has been in charge of the Mu Mansion for many years, so she is very familiar with handling these matters. My sister asked me instead of my aunt. It's really the wrong person to ask. "Liu Yun smiled, with innocence shining in her eyes, making it difficult to see whether she was sincere or on purpose.

Lin frowned slightly, turned her head to look at Liu Yun, and saw that the look on her brows was as proud as before, so she was relieved.

"The eldest lady is wrong. The second lady is ice and snow smart. Didn't the second lady solve the troubles caused by the servants in the mansion before? How can a mere Xiaotong not handle it well this time? I'm afraid the second lady is trying to protect her shortcomings." Only then will you shake your hands and say you can’t handle it.” Liu Shi giggled, with a blunt face, probably the only concubine in the entire Mu Mansion who dared to speak out, and Master Mu has always let it go, it’s not that he dotes on Liu Shi so much. , but the huge Mu family needs someone who dares to speak the truth.

"So that's the case, but I misunderstood my sister. It turns out that my sister can't deal with it, but she doesn't want to deal with it." Liu Yun raised an eyebrow and continued, "Just tell me earlier, and save such a big circle. If If something really happened to Xiaotong, and grandma blamed it, none of us can bear it."

Lan Xi was about to open her mouth to refute, when Master Mu finally waved his palm, "Okay, don't talk about it, this matter ends here, if Xiaotong is fine, send her to another hospital, don't stay in the mansion anymore, A lot of trouble."

"Father..." Didn't these words make it clear that he still believed in Liuyun and wanted to punish Xiaotong? Lan Xi refused.

But obviously, Lin has been with Mu Qingyang for so many years, and knows her father much better than Lan Xi. At this time, she did not help Lan Xi, but shook her head at her daughter, and immediately hooked Master Mu, "Master's arrangement is the safest, so let's do it."

Liu Yun smiled at Lan Xi, full of complacency, which made Lan Xi itch with hatred.

"Go and accompany Lan Xi to deal with this matter, and don't leave any trouble behind." Mu Qingyang withdrew her hand, said a word indifferently, and walked to Xia Shi's side, "Let's go back with you, the wind is getting strong .”

A group of theatergoers dispersed, leaving only Lin Shi and Lan Xi behind.

"What the hell are you doing? Didn't Xiaotong ask you to deal with it quickly? Why is it still such a big mess?" Lin rarely spoke to Lan Xi in such a tone in private, although on the surface she treated Lan Xi Always very strict, but in fact she is very proud of this daughter.

"Stealing a chicken won't save you a lot of rice." Lan Xi snorted twice, but she didn't want to say more.

"Go back and deal with it quickly, and send that girl away quickly." After speaking, Lin walked away without looking back.

Lan Xi pursed her lips and looked at the back of Lin's leaving. Of course she knew why her mother was angry. Since she was a child, she was educated to become the number one talented woman in Linyang City, because only in this way could her mother hold her head high in Mu's residence. Now that the land is in power, her mother's wholehearted desire to find a marriage for her with a high-ranking official is not for her sake, but because she can be righted by her daughter's marriage.

Of course, the more important thing is that her daughter is just a stepping stone for Hongjing, and her mother needs to use her marriage to straighten herself up and make Hongjing a son-in-law, so that she can compete with Yuchen for Master Mu's property.Or in Lin's eyes, Yuchen, a young man who has not tied his hair, is not worth mentioning, but a reclusive young master who doesn't understand anything at all, and it is easy to win the family property from him.

In fact, Lan Xi knew all of this well. Although she resented being used as a pawn, she knew better that she could only become a daughter-in-law if her mother became the main wife.

Therefore, before that, she was willing to endure.
