Revenge of Rebirth: Intrigue

Chapter 167

Two days later, Mu Huaxian dressed neatly, brought Zhiqiao and Wannu back to Mu's residence, apparently under the banner of visiting the old lady.

She went directly to Yangxinzhai without anyone notifying her, and as expected, she heard a man's voice coming from inside while still at the gate of the courtyard.

Mu Huaxian smiled coldly. If she guessed correctly, this person must be Hu Xing—Hu Zhiyuan's father, and Mu Ying's uncle who is also the old lady's brother.

Mu Hua leisurely walked towards the main room, and said out loud, "Grandma, granddaughter is here to see you."

As soon as the voices in the room stopped, Mu Huaxian also walked into the room.

She pretended to know that there was someone else in the main room, and she was stunned for a while before hesitating: "Isn't this uncle?"

Hu Xing was still kneeling on the ground at the moment. Seeing Mu Hua leisurely, he was taken aback for a moment, then stood up in embarrassment, raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, and then forced a smile: "Second Miss is so old, she is really slim. of."

Hu Xing was two years older than the old lady. He already had gray hair and a thin body. It looked as if the wind could blow it away.

The old lady's face was very ugly. She originally wanted to reprimand Hu Xing, but now that Mu Hua was idle here, she held back what she wanted to say.

"Since uncle and grandma have something to say, Hua Xian will go to see father and elder sister and four younger sisters first." Mu Hua Xian said, then turned and left.

She went directly to Mu Ying's place. Mu Ying was reading a booklet in the study. Seeing that Mu Hua was free, she stuffed the booklet into the cabinet. Then she tried her best and said, "You're here."

Mu Huaxian smiled and said: "Hua Xian can't see grandma and father every day, and I miss her so much, so I want to come and see."

"It's good that you have this kind of filial piety," Mu Ying said, "Since you're here, stay here for a day before leaving. I'll send someone to take you back tomorrow."

There was some truth in the words. Mu Huaxian didn't want to guess, so he just thanked him and asked hesitantly, "Does Daddy know...my cousin committed a murder?"

Mu Ying looked up at her: "Even you heard about it?"

"It has been spread all over the capital, and even limericks have come out." Mu Huaxian frowned, with a worried look on his face: "Will Daddy save my cousin?"

"Huh!" Mu Ying snorted coldly, and punched the table with a stern voice: "He killed people! How can I save him?! It's fine to be a domineering man on weekdays. I just turn a blind eye and close my eyes and pretend I didn't see it. Now he even dares to kill people! I'm afraid that when the news reaches the emperor's ears, it will implicate the Mu family!"

A sneer flashed across Mu Huaxian's face, and then he put on a helpless and worried look: "But he is our relative after all, just now my daughter saw her uncle at grandma's place, tears came out... Sigh."

The corner of Mu Ying's mouth twitched, and his eyes were slightly sharp: "I have raised a good son, and now I will beg him if I commit a crime!"

Mu Huaxian lowered her eyes and said softly: "Uncle is getting old, and now he wants a white-haired person to send a black-haired person. If you are too sad, I am afraid that something serious will happen. If grandma will also be sad at that time... Grandma is not in good health. What if there is something wrong?"

Mu Ying stared at Mu Huaxian for a while, and then said, "You are much more sensible now."

Mu Hua smiled leisurely: "Thank you for your praise, but uncle still needs a long-term plan. Even if you can't save him, it's best to postpone the execution for a few days and find an excuse to send uncle out of the capital. It might be better not to witness the tragic death of my cousin, in case something happens to my uncle, we can still hide it from grandma when he is far away, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"
