Concubine like a house

Chapter 78
"That's exactly what I mean." Chuxiu quickly agreed. "I was careless. I didn't think of this." Mrs. Tai seemed a little tired, pinching the center of her eyebrows, and said again, "I'm old, and I don't think about things thoroughly. If you want to try, go for it." To make Madam Tai feel at ease, she went out of Xiuxiu for a moment to think about it, and told the story of her acquaintance with King Mu.She and King Mu are old acquaintances!Maybe because of this reason, Mu Wang will be more tolerant to her?Sure enough, after Mrs. Tai learned the whole story of their acquaintance, she seemed to feel more at ease, and said, "Remember, the family property is the most important thing in everything."

After receiving Mrs. Tai's permission, Chuxiu thought about how to persuade King Mu, even ignoring the classwork of the eldest son Yuncheng.But the more he waited, the more anxious he became. He originally thought that King Mu would return to Yanlan City after he got the decree of the Zen throne, but he went straight to Beixuan again!Go secretly!

If Yun Cheng's biological father, Yun Tan, had not sent someone to inform him, Chuxiu would not have known about this.It can be seen that Mu Wang's methods are getting better and better, and he has been able to avoid Yun's eyeliner everywhere.

Time passed bit by bit while waiting.When King Mu returned to Yanlan City from Beixuan, it was already the middle of October of that year.Went out to send a message to see you, but this time I waited for two days before replying - because too many people came to see King Mu!

Today is different from the past, King Mu is the future emperor after all, as long as anyone who can make some connections, they will come here to add icing on the cake and follow suit.All of a sudden, Prince Mu's Mansion was full of people.But King Mu still gave Yun's face, and he only let Chuxiu wait for five days before meeting her, and the date was set on October 21st.

In the early morning of this day, when Chuxiu was about to go out, and before he crossed the threshold of Chuyun Mansion, the housekeeper Yun Zhong rushed to report with a letter: "Madam, something is wrong! The third master has been imprisoned in Jingzhou!"

"Prisoned?" Yun Xian has always acted prudently, how could he commit crimes and be sent to prison?Chuxiu hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" "The third master was in Jingzhou... visiting a brothel. He fought with the National People's Congress for a brothel girl, but he accidentally beat her to death. Originally, we could settle it, but later we found out that the deceased His name is 'Ming Cui', he is the second son of the right minister of the dynasty, and also the empress' nephew. The Ming family refused to let him go, and the empress also went to cry in front of Emperor Nie, and the third master was imprisoned..."

The deceased was Ming Cui?Chuxiu felt that the name sounded very familiar, and suddenly remembered that he was the one who went after Hongyuan to search for people, but was dismissed by Yun Ci with a few words.After Shen Yu came to Fangzhou, he accidentally mentioned that Chacha also followed this person in the end.

But how could Yun Xian beat Ming Cui to death by mistake, or for a brothel girl?The more Chuxiu thought about it, the more he felt strange: "Is the news reliable?"

"Reliable. It's the news from the prison in Gyeonggi. The third master has been imprisoned for several days. Please send the Ming clan's memorial, and now Emperor Nie is suppressing it." The housekeeper said while presenting the letter.

Chuxiu took it over and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but frowned deeply, thinking for a moment... Yun Xian is now the only blood of the old Hou Ye, and there must be no mistakes.Besides, I was splashed with dirty water a few times, blaming Xia Yanran, Yun Qi, Zhuo Yan, and Wen Xian for their deaths. If Yun Xian dies again, there is no guarantee that the world will not think that it is her "Mrs. Chuxiu" again. vicious means.

Whether public or private, she can't sit idly by!But this matter is extremely tricky: Although Emperor Nie's decree for the Zen position has been made now, King Mu has not yet ascended the throne, Emperor Nie is still the king of a country, and the Ming family is still a descendant.The deceased, Ming Cui, was the empress' nephew, and no one would be able to swallow this breath.

Chuxiu secretly guessed that Ming's daring to make things big must be trying to use Yun Xian as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Yun's conditions.That's fine, at least Yun Xian won't be in danger for his life for a while.

Chuxiu gritted his teeth, and said to the housekeeper Yunzhong: "I know about this, you go and report it to Mrs. Tai." Yan Bi hurried to Mu Wang's mansion with Zhu Ying.

Because of Yun Xian's delay, he arrived half an hour later than expected.When he came to Mu Wang's mansion, Mu Wang was shooting a target in the small courtyard, and the arrows hit without fail.After leaving Xiuxiu for a long time, Mu Wang seemed to have just discovered her, and greeted her with a half-smile: "Madam is here."

"My concubine has met His Highness before." Chuxiu forced a smile, "Congratulations to Your Highness for winning the flag and getting what you want." "Did you get what you wanted?" King Mu repeated, with a flash of disappointment on his face, and then Returning to normal, he said to Chuxiu, "Thanks to Madam's support. Half of Yun's family property, the king will definitely return it within three years." "Three years? So soon?" Chuxiu shook his head, "You again Why bother to be serious! Since I, the Yun family, donated money to support you, I have never thought about getting the money back. In the future, you will be crowned a great treasure, and after you unify the two countries, you can take care of the Yun family as much as possible." King Mu took a deep look at Chuxiu, Then he smiled back: "Is this king not caring enough for the Yun family? At least enough for his wife?"

Chuxiu's heart moved, knowing what he meant, she hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, you don't remember the fault of a villain, it's my concubine's recklessness." She decided to speak up, "Young Lord, both in public and in private, is closely related to the Yun family. Inseparable. He is not only my Yun family's aunt, but also my savior. With such a relationship, how can I sit idly by and ignore death?"

"You have completely won now, and my concubine has lost her reputation. Can you calm down about this?" Chuxiu deliberately said softly.

Seeing Chuxiu's appearance, King Mu felt a little dazed for some reason.He almost forgot that the woman in front of him had just passed her 19th birthday, and she was from a prostitute... He suddenly thought of Luan Su, and his ninth younger brother, Nie Peixiao, King of Chengjun.

I still remember that a few years ago, the ninth brother had admired Hanchu's piano skills for a while, and after hearing that she had passed away, he composed a song "Zhu Xiandu".He never had a chance to tell his ninth brother that Hanchu was still alive and married into the Yun family.Maybe it was due to his selfishness, he fell in love with a prostitute, but couldn't fall in love, so he didn't want the ninth brother to repeat the same mistakes.After all, Hanchu has become the widow of the Marquis of Lixin... Thinking of this, King Mu was overwhelmed with emotion, so he replied to Chuxiu: "Why does this king want to calm down? If you haven't calmed down, what will you do, madam?"

Chuxiu put on a embarrassed expression, pondered for a moment and said: "The concubine has no choice but to dare to bother Concubine Luan and ask her to speak out. After all, the Yun family is her mother's family, and the concubine is still her sister-in-law."

Hearing this, Mu Wang's sullen expression flashed past, but soon he smiled again: "Madam is very smart, this time I know that I told this king face to face. To be honest, if you go to Luan Su behind my back , even if the king agreed at the time, he would not spare Yun family lightly afterwards."

He would rather be knifed face to face than to tolerate small movements behind his back.

What King Mu said made Chuxiu heave a sigh of relief!This proves that she is on the right track!First of all, he should be frank and lenient, and then he should mention the relationship with Luan Su. Most importantly, he must know how to endure the momentary grievances and take the initiative to bow his head.This is a man after all, the trick of "conquering rigidity with softness" is still effective, and Mu Wang is also "eating softness rather than toughness".

Chu Xiu caressed his forehead and smiled wryly: "I'm talking about this, if you don't worry about it, I can only forcefully break into Wenchang Marquis's mansion to save people..."

Mu Wang finally laughed twice, and it was very comfortable to hear: "You only care about Miss Yun and Young Master Shen Yu, but Third Master Yun doesn't care?"

Has this matter reached King Mu's ears?Chuxiu calmed down: "I haven't had time to speak yet..." "Madam has a good appetite. Once I go to the door, I will save three lives." Mu Wang asked again meaningfully, "Then why didn't Madam mention the meaning of Third Master Yun first?" Something?" "Because the third master is not in danger of his life, the Ming family will not take action lightly considering the prestige of the Yun family. As long as the concubine sits and does nothing, the Ming family will come to the door and ask for conditions." Chuxiu replied without thinking. There were two crisp sounds of "Papa", and Mu Wang clapped his hands and said with a smile: "As expected of being the head mother of the Yun family, Madam said exactly what she said."

Chuxiu shook her head: "If Master Hou was alive in the past, how could the Ming family dare to be so presumptuous? They didn't bully the widows of our family, and the business plummeted again. It's not what it used to be..." She deliberately mentioned business to make Mu Wang understands that Yun's current difficulties are all due to his support.

"This king also appreciates Li Xinhou very much. It is indeed a pity that he died at an early age." Mu Wang said this sincerely, and said, "As for business, Madam, let's support it for another two or three years. Wait for this king to find out When you arrive at the Dragon Vein Treasure, you will naturally return the money you borrowed."

Dragon Vein Treasure?Before the Daxi Dynasty split, was the treasure left by the royal family?Unexpectedly, more than [-] years after the division between the north and the south, this treasure of dragon veins was found by King Mu!In this way, his promise to return Yun's money is not false.

Chuxiu quickly greeted him and said: "It seems that His Highness is really destined to unify the north and the south. You even found the dragon's veins!"

This sentence was very useful to King Mu, and finally he burst into a charming smile, and said to Chuxiu: "Just because of my wife's words, this king should take care of the third master Yun's affairs. Besides, when this king was young , I have often been tripped up by Empress Mingzhen, and the feng shui has changed in ten years, and now it is time for the Ming family to 'try something new'."

His smile remained unchanged, and he continued: "Everyone in the world says that this king will take revenge, if you don't give Ming family a little bit of trouble, wouldn't this king be 'wasting his reputation'?"

Chuxiu almost forgot that the Ming clan was supporting King Fu, and King Mu had nothing to do with them.Seeing that King Mu readily agreed to rescue Yun Xian, she couldn't help being overjoyed.But thinking of the faces of Ming Cheng, Ming Cui, and Ming Ying, the three fathers and sons, I still couldn't help asking: "Could it be that the third master was framed by the Ming family? He is not a reckless person, nor is he a showy person How could a swinger fight for a brothel girl?"

"It's not a frame." Mu Wang stated the facts, "At the beginning of this year, a Jiang family girl came to Xihua Pavilion, and within half a year she became popular in Jingzhou's Fengyue field. Third Master Yun often went to cheer her up, but later he caught her and was raped by Ming Cui. Molested, the hero rescued the beauty in a rage, but unexpectedly beat Ming Cui to death by mistake."

King Mu's words meant something, he looked at Chuxiu and said, "However, Ming Cui's death condition is horrific, with wounds all over his body and bleeding from his seven orifices, he seems to have been poisoned."

The woman from the Jiang family, the hero Yunxian who rescued the beauty, and Ming Cui's horrific death...Chuxiu thinks carefully in his mind, and always feels that there is some connection between these three.Thinking about it, she unconsciously lost her mind in front of King Mu.

After a while, Chuxiu understood the meaning of King Mu's words: "Thank you for reminding me, I understand." It must be the fourth concubine Tai Luanqing who went to Jingzhou and was reduced to prostitution... Then Ming Cui was killed by her? Did Yun Xian accidentally beat him to death, or was he poisoned to death by Luan Qing?However, since King Mu is willing to help, Yun Xian and Luan Qing don't have to worry about their lives.While Chuxiu breathed a sigh of relief, he did not forget to ask cautiously: "Then about my eldest lady and Lord Shen Xiaohou...Look..."
