Chapter 94
"A fellow countryman? A man?" Mu Qingwan asked.

Aunt Zheng nodded: "Since I married into Mu's house, I haven't even seen my parents and relatives. I miss them very much, but I am not favored by the master, and I have no chance to see my relatives until that day. On the [-]st, when I went out to buy things, I ran into my fellow countryman. I was happy and excited, so I made an appointment with him a few times and asked him something about my parents. Third Miss, I am so excited. It's just a kind thought, nothing else, I swear to God, I have never met any adulterers, nor have I had contact with other men, Lingxi, she is indeed the master's flesh and blood."

After Mu Qingwan listened, she narrowed her eyes. Aunt Zheng's eyes were full of earnest feelings, and she was not lying.

"What is your fellow countryman's name, and where do you live? Where is the place where you usually meet?"

Aunt Zheng said immediately after hearing the words: "His surname is Wang, and his single name is Xiang. From what I heard from his words, it seems that he transferred a sum of money from his business two years ago. This time he also came to the capital to discuss business. Oh , he was sitting in a courtyard next to the Sophora japonica forest in the south of the city, and he said it was a courtyard of his friend, and he would lend it to him for a few days."

Hearing Aunt Zheng's words, Mu Qingwan couldn't help but sneered: "Aunt Zheng, Aunt Zheng, you are so naive. I'm afraid that your fellow countryman has already betrayed you. He met you on the street that day. What a coincidence, but to get close to you on purpose, what you said in the past few times, nine times out of ten, was taught by Mrs. Nie."

Aunt Zheng's face changed greatly when she heard this: "No, Miss San, it's impossible, he is really from my hometown!"

"I didn't say he wasn't from your hometown. It's just that people are close to each other. Do you know that those other courtyards on the outskirts of the city are all private properties of dignitaries. Moreover, they have been vacant for a long time, because they are located in a remote place, and they can be seen at night." No one spent the night there, isn't this Wang Xiang talking nonsense?"

Aunt Zheng turned pale, and murmured a few times, Mu Qingwan asked again: "Have you ever been to the house where he lives?"

Aunt Zheng shook her head: "Wang Xiang said that he was afraid that my going in and out of his residence would cause me disadvantage and arouse suspicion from others. After all, I am already someone else's concubine."

Mu Qingwan nodded: "Then where do you meet each time, in the flower pavilion outside the Sophora japonica forest?"

"Yes." Aunt Zheng's heart was already cold at this moment.

Mu Qingwan shook her head slightly, Nie Shi was really calculating and thoughtful, what Wang Xiang said, there was nothing wrong with it, it sounded true, men and women were not close, and the two of them were chatting about Aunt Zheng's parents in the flower pavilion. It can make Aunt Zheng let go of her guard, but in this way, it just creates evidence that others can often see the two talking together. Even if this matter is brought up in the government, it is difficult for Aunt Zheng to be accused of adultery. Lost.

Seeing that Mu Qingwan didn't speak, Aunt Zheng felt even colder. She slumped on the ground and murmured: "There is no other way, is it? This matter is a foregone conclusion."

Mu Qingwan didn't say a word, she quickly analyzed the development of the matter in her heart, to see what to do in order to come up with the most beneficial solution.

"Miss San, I beg you for one thing." Aunt Zheng suddenly knelt in front of Mu Qingwan, kowtowed to her, and said, "I know Miss San is not an ordinary person, I beg you, help me take care of Lingxi , Lingxi is innocent, if you can come in tonight, you will definitely be able to take Lingxi out, let her hide her name in the future, and live well, she is a good child, and will remember Miss San's great kindness."

Mu Qingwan hurriedly helped Aunt Zheng up, and Mu Lingxi who was on the side also cried and hugged Aunt Zheng: "Mother, I won't go, I want to follow Mother, let's go to Daddy to intercede, tell Daddy the truth, Daddy will know Mother was wrongly framed."

Aunt Zheng held Mu Lingxi and cried so hard that she couldn't understand why she didn't understand that Mu Zongyi didn't have much love for her, and when she was let into the mansion, it was just a novelty for a while. After so many years, she had a bad baby The valuable daughter, Mu Zongyi never looked at her again, and the number of times he came to her yard was also very few. This time, it is absolutely impossible to turn to her.

Looking at the mother and daughter, Mu Qingwan felt a little sad in her heart, but she was not [-]% sure. This incident clearly showed that Mrs. Nie had come prepared. All she can do now is to procrastinate, as long as it is over Tonight, things might turn around.

"Aunt Zheng, I don't dare to promise you. I can only say that I will do my best. As for Lingxi, I will take her away. Let's prepare for the worst. If things get out of hand, I will I promise you, Lingxi, I will try my best to protect her, and as long as I, Mu Qingwan, are alive, I won't let her suffer any grievances."

Aunt Zheng burst into tears, she was speechless and just nodded her head.

Mu Lingxi cried and shook her head: "Third sister, I won't go, I want to stay with mother, I don't want to leave mother."

"Lingxi, you are obedient, follow me, and I will take you to a safe place, so that your mother will have no worries, and they will not be able to use you to persecute your mother." Mu Qingwan told Mu Lingxi patiently. explained.

Aunt Zheng hugged Mu Lingxi, reached out to stroke her hair, and said softly: "Xi'er, listen to your third sister, your third sister is right, you are safe, mother will not be afraid anymore, mother I promise you that I will be fine, obedient, Xi'er, my mother's only hope is you, as long as you are good, then no matter how much my mother suffers, it will be worth it."

"Mother, Xi'er is reluctant to part with mother." Mu Lingxi's little face was wrinkled into a ball from crying.

"Silly boy, I just separated from my mother for a few days, and it's not like I won't see you later. You are obedient, listen to your third sister, don't worry about mother, mother will be fine, ah!"

Aunt Zheng told Mu Lingxi to coax her for a while before Mu Lingxi nodded.

Mu Qingwan pulled Mu Lingxi, and then said to Aunt Zheng: "Auntie, don't worry, I will try my best to deal with this matter, so take care of yourself, as long as tonight is delayed, things will turn around."

Aunt Zheng nodded, and Mu Qingwan led Mu Lingxi away.

Back at Anlan Courtyard, Mu Qingwan told Man Yue and the others not to speak out about the matter, and then ordered Man Yue and Mo Zhuang to go to the outskirts of the city to investigate Aunt Zheng's affairs.

She took Mu Lingxi out of the house quietly all night, heading towards Kuiniang's yard.

Kui Niang saw that Mu Qingwan brought a little girl over late at night, her expression was still a little strange, she hurriedly invited her into the inner room, and said, "Miss, this is..."

"This is Miss Fifth, Kui Niang. You have helped me take care of me these few days. Something happened in the house. I entrust Lingxi to you. Don't let anyone leak the news."

Kui Niang almost understood when she heard the words, so she nodded, "Miss, don't worry, this matter is on the servants' shoulders, and Miss Fifth will definitely not be wronged."
