Chapter 338

It took Mu Jiaojiao less than half a month to rush back to Chang'an.

Back in Cui's mansion, she handed her son to Mrs. Zheng, sat down to take a breath, and went forward to feel the pulse of Old Madam Cui.

Mrs. Cui is now very weak.But today, it seems that because of knowing that Mu Jiaojiao has returned with her son, her spirit has improved a lot, and she even said a few words to Mrs. Cui.

Mu Jiaojiao listened to her pulse carefully, then shook his head and said: "The old lady's death is approaching, and I can't recover from it, everyone should hurry up and prepare for the funeral!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the Cui family, who originally had a glimmer of hope, burst into tears.

On the other hand, Mrs. Cui's expression was as usual when she heard this, and she only ordered someone to help her up, and although she spoke softly, she still said slowly: "I have lived to be 70 years old, and it is already very difficult. Even if I go now, it is also a joy and a funeral. , you don’t have to be sad. Now, you all step back and let me talk to Liu Lang’s wife.”

Everyone backed down.

Old Madam Cui asked Mu Jiaojiao again: "Where is your Dalang, did you bring it back?"

"Bring it back!" Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly asked Mung Dou to bring her son over.

Mr. Dalang is now half a year old.He was originally quiet, and when he was carried to Old Madam Cui, if an ordinary child saw such a haggard old man, he would probably cry out of fright.But he just blinked, his little face remained expressionless, and he continued to sit quietly beside the old lady and play with his fingers.The old lady touched him, and he raised his head and smiled at her.

Seeing this, Mrs. Cui nodded and said: "This child is calm and calm at a young age, and he has the demeanor of his grandfather. You raise him well, and his achievements will definitely not be inferior to his grandfather."

Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly nodded.

Mrs. Cui suddenly held her hand again, and a gleam of light flashed in her dim eyes: "Liu Lang's daughter-in-law, it seems that I am going to be buried. Before I die, can you solve the doubts in my heart? Which famous family did your mother's family come from?"

Mu Jiaojiao spread out her palms and drew a word 'thank you' on it.

Mrs. Cui's eyes suddenly became brighter.

"Sure enough! The first time I saw you, I knew that you must have the blood of a noble family flowing in your bones, and that noble family must not be inferior! Now that I know the truth, it is exactly as I expected, and I can rest in peace! From now on, you must and Liu Lang is fine, try to persuade him when necessary. Only you can control his temper. Leave him to you, I don't worry."

Mu Jiaojiao nodded quickly.

After talking so much in one breath, the old lady was also tired.She closed her eyes for a while, then opened them again and said: "Okay, you must be tired after coming back from such a long distance, go down and rest! Now, let Erlang and the others come to see me."

The Erlang she is talking about now is Elder Cui Ge.

Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly left with her son in her arms.

That night, there was a burst of wailing from all over Cui's mansion—the old lady Cui had left.

After Cui Pu heard the news, he hurried back from Yangzhou with his daughter, and the father and daughter could not kneel before the grave of Mrs. Cui.

Mrs. Cui passed away this time. According to the system, Cui Ge will have to obey three years of filial piety. up.

The father and son all wrote to the saint to ask Ding You.

But the paper was sent up, but it was left unpublished, and there was no reply for a long time.I quietly asked someone to inquire, only to find out that the sage is currently at a loss.It turned out that Concubine Wu Hui was also sick.

Although she successfully wiped out the prince's party and exterminated that group of people, her life in the following days was not satisfactory.

First of all, when they tried their best to persuade the sage to become the prince, the sage ignored the matter.They didn't dare to say too much, lest the sage would detect their thoughts.Concubine Wu Hui was so anxious that she fell ill.

Secondly, shortly after the death of the prince and others, every time Concubine Wu Hui closed her eyes, she could see the ghosts of the prince and others floating in front of her eyes, crying out for her grievances, which always woke her up from her sleep and scared her to death. In a cold sweat.

She has been ill ever since.

It was useless to ask a wizard to practice at night, but her condition became more and more serious.In the end, as long as she was in a slightly dark place and heard a little trouble, she would feel that the prince and others came to seek revenge on her, and she made a lot of noise.

Then reburied them, or even executed people to be buried with them... I tried all kinds of methods, but it was still useless.

Her illness became worse day by day.

The saint was so anxious that he was going crazy, how could he have the mood to take care of other things?Therefore, he didn't read the brochures that Cui Gelao and his group sent up.

However, as Cui Pu is a district magistrate, Li Linfu still has this small right to appoint and dismiss.So not long after Mrs. Cui was buried, Cui Pu received a reply from the court agreeing with Ding You.

Upon hearing this news, Cui Pu just smiled lightly: "If I get rid of me now, it can be regarded as clearing away the obstacles for Wu Lixin to go on the road. After these three years, he can be regarded as the magistrate of Yangzhou!"

"That's not necessarily true." Mu Jiaojiao shook his head indifferently.

Cui Pu was in a low mood, and when he heard the words, he only thought she was comforting him again, so he lazily did not reply.

In fact, although Mrs. Cui passed away, it was a happy funeral after all, so after everyone was sad, their mood gradually calmed down.Except for Cui Ge who took Cui Fu and his son to build a thatched hut beside Mrs. Cui's tomb to copy the scriptures of filial piety, the lives of Cui Pu's grandchildren soon gradually returned to the looseness of the past.In fact, as long as the face is decent and everyone indulges a little in private, the elders will not say anything.

At this time, Mu Jiaojiao received a mysterious letter.

"Who wrote it to you? Why didn't you sign it?" Cui Pucai said displeasedly after holding the letter paper in his hand and reading it over and over again.

Mu Jiaojiao took back the letter paper. "I want to know who it is, won't I know it when I go to see you?"

"Are you really going to meet? You are not afraid that he is your deadly enemy, and he wants to take this opportunity to kill you quietly?"

"Isn't there you? You've been practicing kung fu for four years, can't you even protect me?" Mu Jiaojiao said with a smile.

"If so." With her affirmation, Cui Pu nodded, "If that's the case, then go and see her!"

When the appointed day came, the two quietly went out to the Peony Tower by the Qujiang River.

As soon as the talents entered, Dr. Tea greeted them and led them to an exquisite private room upstairs.

This private room costs ten pennies just for the table and chairs, which is not something ordinary people can afford.When they walked to the door, Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu felt relieved - the more valuable the status, the more that person cherishes the feathers, and he will never attack her indiscriminately.

The two walked into the private room, and then the door closed behind them.

Cui Pu froze for a moment, and then dodged to stand in front of Mu Jiaojiao.

"Sister, don't you know me?"

At this time, a soft voice sounded, and the person who was standing with his back to them slowly turned his head, revealing a beautiful face.

When Mu Jiaojiao saw it, she immediately turned around and was about to leave.

"Sister, please stay!" The visitor hurried over and grabbed her, "Sister, why have you been so indifferent to me? Is it because I married into the Shou Palace, so you have to draw a line with me? But, I like you, and my heart has always been towards you, you should understand this."

"Concubine Shou, you should understand the truth that different ways do not conspire with each other. The Wu family is incompatible with the Cui family. Especially my husband has been fighting fiercely with the Wu County Lord in recent years. You must have heard of this If you are smart enough, you should cut off contact with me to show your loyalty to Concubine Wu Hui. Otherwise, if they know that you are still secretly with me and do something to you, then the loss outweighs the gain.” Mu Jiaojiao said coldly.

"No! Shibalang likes me very much. After three years of marriage, he is still obedient to me. Just let him know that I am dating you. As long as I act like a baby to him, he will cry at most. Surely there will be no further investigation!" Yang Yuhuan, who is already Princess Shou, quickly said.

Just talking, the blissful shyness on her face stopped, and her hands slowly stroked her lower abdomen. "It's just...we've been married for three years, but I haven't heard any good news. I've invited many famous doctors and taken a lot of medicine, but it still doesn't work. If it wasn't for this, I wouldn't have thought of bothering you, sister." .”

Mu Jiaojiao looked at her cautiously, but it couldn't conceal the complicated look in her eyes.

In the end, the three years of living in Shouwang's mansion left a deep imprint on her body.The once bright and pleasant girl was no longer so pure and lovely after all.

Mu Jiaojiao said calmly: "I remember that there is a Doctor Peng in Shouwang's residence, and his medical skills are no worse than mine."

"He's been showing me for three years, and it hasn't worked. How can he be as good as you? Sister, you've been right. Now I only trust you!" Yang Yuhuan said hastily, He looked at her expectantly.

"If he can't see the disease well, then I can't see why it is in my hands." Mu Jiaojiao shook his head, "Princess Shou, just accept your fate! Or, the time has not yet come, and I will wait for you." can conceive."

This wait, I'm afraid it will be indefinite, right?
