Chapter 26 Tricks
She dodged and hid aside, seeing the dark figure under the night sky hunched over and walking towards a bush of flowers, she was suddenly curious and followed from afar.

Because the sky is not bright enough, only a faint light can be seen between the clouds and mist. The sky seems to be covered by a black curtain like thick ink, and everything below is blurred.

Mu Chu followed the figure of the man, walking forward vigilantly.

There was no sound under her feet, Mu Chu was familiar with such movements, most people would not feel her presence at all.

Tracking, too, is part of learning as an agent.

The black shadow came out of the tall flowers, and went straight to a yard with lights not far in front. Mu Chu followed behind, with a pair of black eyes, like stars in the darkness.

She carefully looked at the terrain in front of her, and thanks to Yue Shi, she, the eldest lady who should never leave the door, explored most of the routes in the mansion when there was no food. It also saved her a lot of trouble.

The courtyard in front should be the courtyard where Aunt Xu lived in the mansion. This courtyard is not too big, and it is quite spacious for Aunt Xu and Mu Ying to live in.

Even if the black figure in front couldn't be seen clearly, Mu Chu knew that it must be a man. There would never be any outsider in this woman's backyard. What does this man want to do when he comes in this late at night?
The room inside was lit by lights, and under the dim light, half of the man's face was barely exposed. This man was not very old, but Mu Chu had never seen this man in the mansion.

Out of curiosity about everything in the mansion, Mu Chu unceremoniously came behind a small tree outside the yard, using the sky and the tree to block everyone's sight.

When the two maids at the door saw the man, they led him in without making a sound, which immediately caught Mu Chu's attention.

It's taboo for a foreigner to enter the mansion. The two maids at the door are Aunt Xu's subordinates. She must be familiar with the man's actions. If she comes here so late, she will never believe that nothing will happen.

Mu Chu carefully looked at the surrounding environment and terrain, and concentrated his eyes on the wall on the other side.

She quietly hid her figure in the darkness, tiptoed around the main entrance, and came to a narrow path separated from another courtyard. Looking at the smooth wall, Mu Chuning thought for a while, rubbed her eyebrows Rub your palms together, put your hands on your sides, use your toes and hands to press against the walls on both sides with friction, and with a sudden force, they land on Aunt Xu's courtyard wall in a coordinated manner.

A small voice came from the room where the lamp was held. Mu Chu did not expect that this location was so close to the room where the man entered.

"Auntie, what's the good thing for you to let me come over at night?"

The man's voice was slightly lowered, but full of excitement.

A faint laugh came, and Aunt Xu's voice reached Mu Chu's ears: "Of course it's a good thing, it's a great thing!"

The sound of moving a chair sounded, and Mu Chu saw two figures reflected on the window paper through the dim candlelight in the room. Although he couldn't see their faces clearly, he could vaguely see their movements.

The two shadows sat down, as if they were discussing secret matters.

Aunt Xu deliberately kept her voice extremely low, but because Mu Chu was so close, she still heard those words in her ears.

"How is your grandfather doing these days?"

The two seemed to be chatting, and the young man sighed: "What can I do, the last time my cousin secretly took the money in the account of the account to go out to gamble, this matter was barely suppressed, but if it is going to spread Going out, I'm afraid things will be in big trouble, Grandpa has been lying in bed these few days and can't get up, where can I find more than 50 taels of silver in a short time!"

Upon hearing Yin Zi, Mu Chu's ears moved, and a dangerous look flashed across his eyes.

Aunt Xu sighed: "We concubine sons and daughters are all sent out as stepping stones for the sons and daughters of the sons and daughters. Your cousin is an unworthy thing, but your grandfather protects him like that!"

"That's right, it's going to hurt my father and me, aunt, do you have any good ideas?"

Aunt Xu smiled leisurely: "Of course, have you seen the woman who made a big fuss at King Li's wedding?"

The man was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking. When Mu Chu heard that Aunt Xu mentioned him, he immediately leaned against the wall and cheered up.

"I do remember, Auntie, what do you mean?"

"That's the second lady of the Mu Mansion. Now she has more than 80 taels of silver in her hand. Although she looks a little ugly, if you can marry her, not only will you be able to help your grandfather a lot, but you will also be able to rely on the prime minister's mansion in the future." ,how do you feel?"

When Mu Chu heard these words, his face immediately sank, and his eyes shone faintly in the dark night.

She grabbed the wall tightly and hung her body on it, her face was a little ugly.

If she hadn't gone out today, and hadn't followed that black shadow here, she might not even know that she was being missed.

This Aunt Xu's status is not low. Although she is a concubine, she is also a concubine of the Shangshu Mansion. She has deep means, otherwise she would not have given birth to a daughter under Yue's nose.

The man thought about it for a long time, and there was a hint of reluctance in his voice: "Auntie, this woman is very ugly. If this is left at home, it might scare everyone to death!"

Aunt Xu is full of hatred for iron and steel: "You are really stupid. If she is not ugly, it will be your turn. She is the concubine of the prime minister's mansion. Moreover, as long as you marry her and get her dowry, At that time, how many beautiful concubines you want to marry back home is not a matter of your words. She is an ugly girl, how dare you stop her? You know, she married you, but she is yours..."

Mu Chu's heart felt cold when he heard this, and he wished he could rush out now and slap Aunt Xu twice.

Mu's Mansion is really a magical place, such vicious and vicious women abound.

"My aunt is right, what should my nephew do?"

This time, Aunt Xu put her body close to the man's ear, and the small voice slowly radiated from the room. Mu Chu, who listened to everything, felt a chill down her spine.

She quietly jumped down from the wall, expressionless, and returned to the path she came from calmly.

Keeping all Aunt Xu's plans in mind, a strong hostility flashed across Mu Chu's eyes.

……

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and Mother Lin, who stayed in Mu Chu's small courtyard, had recovered from her injuries.

In the past two days, Mu Chu went out early and returned late every day. With the remaining ten taels of silver, he bought some food and medicinal materials.

The mansion definitely wouldn't care about her and Nanny Lin's injuries, so Mu Chu did everything big and small these days.

This also made her feel that it is really sad that there is no handy helper in this mansion.

The newly made clothes have been delivered, and Mu Chu sat on the small bed, touching the smooth material in his hand, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

After the beating of the old lady last time, Yue's side was much quieter. Of course, it's not that Yue's will let it go, but because he is so busy that he has no time to take care of Mu Chu's affairs.

The two young ladies in the mansion got married together, so Mu Chu was easy to talk about, but Mu Xue's dowry was nothing like that.

With the dowry of more than 80 taels missing, Mu Xue couldn't afford the rest of the dowry.

Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, Mu Chu picked up a small knife, and cut open the wound on his forehead that had already leaked pus, squeezed out all the pus inside, and severe pain came from his forehead, and after a while, After a while, she was already covered in a layer of cold sweat.

A basin of warm water was placed next to Mu Chu. When Mu Chu turned his head, he saw Nanny Lin gesticulating her arms and handing a white handkerchief in front of her.

Feeling warm in Mu Chu's heart, he smiled slightly at Nanny Lin, and re-bandaged the wound with medicine.

Because of the presence of toxins on the wound, and the fact that it had been too long, she could only use the most stupid way to deal with the wound.

First, the wound that had already grown was opened again, and then it was suppurated and applied with medicine. After several days of tossing, the scar on it disappeared, but if it wanted to be completely healed to the point of completeness, even if it was used to stimulate It also takes half a year to produce medicinal medicine.

But three months is almost the same time. Although the scar will not disappear completely, it will not be as hideous and terrifying as it is now.

After re-bandaging the scar on his forehead, Mu Chu stood up and smiled softly at Nanny Lin: "Mommy, I want to go out and buy two maids today, I don't know if it's convenient for Nanny to go out with me!"

Nanny Lin was taken aback for a moment, and immediately nodded happily, feeling a little at a loss.

Mu Chu vaguely remembered that Nanny Lin was not like this back then.

Although the original owner had never met the eldest princess, when he was a few years old, he was very close to Nanny Lin.

It's just that I haven't seen her again since one day. The original owner was young and gave up after searching for a few days. In addition, the emperor had not passed away at that time, and Yue didn't dare to do anything to her.

However, all the changes took place after the death of the first emperor. The original owner's eldest daughter in the mansion suddenly became the second daughter, and she was left in the small courtyard and ignored. Several times, she was almost frozen to death and starved to death. die.

If it wasn't for Nanny Lin...

The original owner may not care about these things, but after she accepted the body's memory, these subconscious memories became clearer. In addition to her characteristic of digging secrets, she thought about the original owner's childhood memories many times. .

It's just that, although I understood the matter a little, I didn't have any clue after all. Mu Chu stood up, gave up his wild thoughts, picked up the money and led Nanny Lin to the outside.

Nanny Lin changed into a new outfit. Although she couldn't open her eyes all the time, she seemed to be a different person. The two walked from the north courtyard all the way to the gate, but Mu Chu was stopped by two servants guarding the gate. down.

"Second Miss, without Madam's hand card, you are not allowed to enter and leave the mansion casually!"

Mu Chu's face turned cold, she was used to being free soon, but she forgot that if she wanted to go out here, she had to get Yue's permission.

She was thinking about how to get Yue Shi's consent, but a carriage suddenly stopped outside the door.
