The reborn businesswoman is the queen

Chapter 183 Visiting Lu Lingxuan Late at Night

"So that's how it is." Pei Xin finally felt relieved, and when she remembered the turmoil at the banquet today, she laughed again, with a look of admiration on her face: "At Madam Chen's banquet today, Miss is really impressive. Let alone Madam Chen's praise, The servants saw that all the wives and ladies in the house admired the lady very much! However, is it true that jade can prevent disasters?"

Mu Yunge laughed softly: "There's nothing to prevent disasters, it's just a legend!"

"So what did the lady say..." Pei Xin hesitated to speak, she was not as smart as Pei Ying, it was really hard to understand.

Mu Yunge sighed, and patiently explained to her: "Things are not as simple as you think. Do you think it was accidental that the jade hairpin broke? Let me ask you, who bought the whole set of jade ornaments?"

Pei Xin replied honestly: "His Royal Highness."

"where did you buy it?"

"Chou Ji Yu Fang."

"What is the relationship between the Qiu family and our Mu family? Is there any enmity?"

"Master Qiu and the master went to the capital to run for the leadership of the chamber of commerce, and secretly poisoned the master in an attempt to kill the master." Pei Xin still knew about this.

"Since there is an enemy, how can I let the enemy's family be safe?"

"Miss said earlier that she would fight an eye for an eye, so naturally she would not let the Chou family go. That's why the slaves couldn't figure it out. If they really didn't want to let the Chou family go, the lady could have announced at the banquet today that the Chou family Yufang produced inferior goods, and the seats were full of ladies. , it will spread throughout Jinling within two days, and then there will be no worries about enmity or bankruptcy." Pei Xin was confused by her question.

"And then?" Mu Yunge raised his eyes to look at her: "Once everyone knows about it as you said, the Qiu family will know that the Mu family is behind it, so he can bite back and say it's the Mu family. Jealousy, deliberately ruining his reputation. The Hou family is a famous nobleman, so the broken jade hairpin will naturally be discarded, without evidence, the Mu family will not please."

Pei Xin was stunned by what she said, unable to pick up the topic.

Mu Yunge said again: "But everything is different now. Mrs. Chen loves Shuhan so much, she will definitely keep Shuhan's hairpin in a safe place, and all the guests know that Qiuji's jade is spiritual jade, starting from tomorrow , Chou Ji must be full. Let them be proud of it for a while. In a few days, customers will have various problems with the jade they get, and the troubles of Chou Ji will really start. At that time, the guests You will wonder whether what you bought is Lingyu or a low-quality product? Any disputes have anything to do with our Mu family? If you really want to trace back to Mrs. Chen’s birthday banquet, then it’s even more unreasonable: The hair accessories were bought by His Royal Highness Yuwang, and they were broken in Mrs. Chen's hands. I was also the one who helped them speak out, and it was the customers who sued them, which had nothing to do with our Mu family. He If you really doubt us, no one will believe it. They will only think that the Qiu family is jealous and deliberately framed by the Mu family. First, the goods cannot be trusted, and then the character is questioned. If the Qiu family Yufang can finish this summer, I will not call Mu Yunge!"

While talking, she arrived at Tingfengzhu before she knew it. As soon as Mu Yunge stepped into the attic, she saw Wei Shi leaning against the window, reading the "Shui Jing Zhu" she had been studying for the past few days.

Pei Xin lowered her head and pursed her lips with a small smile, then bowed and retreated cleverly.

"When did you come?" Mu Yunge sat next to him, pushed Auntie Zhang's snacks to him earlier, frowned and curled her lips: "I drank so much wine at the banquet, how about some plum cakes?"

Wei Shi politely took a piece and put it in his mouth. The sweet and sour taste was very delicious, not inferior to the Jade Building in Beijing, and praised without hesitation: "This snack is not bad, where did you buy it?"

"I can't buy it, it's made in Fuzhong's small kitchen." Mu Yunge smiled: "If you like it, I'll ask Peixin to pack it for you when you leave later, and you can take it home to eat."

It is rare for her to be so gentle and considerate to Wei Shi. Wei Shi only felt that his heart was going to fly to the sky, and his temper became unbearably itchy. It was all thought of for me."

Mu Yunge happened to raise his hand to his forehead, avoiding his hand, Wei Shi chuckled, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he was rarely presumptuous in front of Mu Yunge, so he immediately withdrew his hand, and put another piece of plum cake in his mouth In the middle of the night, he said vaguely: "I didn't talk to you much at the banquet, and I didn't see you look at me too much. When I was leaving, I asked the guard to tell me to invite me to listen to Fengzhu. It's so sad!"

Mu Yunge became angry from embarrassment, and gave him a look: "You can't stop your mouth with so much food?"

In the twilight of the candlelight, her eyes were sparkling and watery, and the corners of her mouth were slightly curled up as if she was about to say something. Although she was still young, the coquettishness of her beautiful facial features was already unstoppable.

Wei Shi's bones were half brittle, and his breathing was half beat. It took a long time before he smiled and said: "The thing that can be blocked is the mouth, of course you don't need to say it; the one that can't be blocked is the heart, I can't help but want to go to you Come on!"

After getting along for a long time, Mu Yunge already understood the person in front of him very well. He was poor-mouthed, and the more he tried to talk to him, the more useless he was. He simply ignored him. After he ate two pieces of plum crisps and drank half a cup of mung bean soup , then said: "Okay, I invited you here today because I need your help. Do you remember Lu Lingxuan? I want you to take me to Lu's house!"

"I knew it was hard work." Wei Shi giggled, "You went to Lu's house because of her engagement?"

That being said, when Mu Yunge has a hard job, the first thing he thinks of is always him.Once she realizes that she is her reliance and choice, no matter how hard or tiring she is, her heart will be extremely sweet.

"So, the engagement is real?" Mu Yunge's eyebrows darkened slightly, and his voice was a bit chilly.

Wei Shi suppressed his smile: "It's true, the wedding date has been set, and it will be at the end of May."

"Let's go, let's go to Lu's house." Mu Yunge stood up, things were beyond her expectation, she couldn't wait to see Lu Lingxuan and hear what Lu Lingxuan thought.

Wei Shi immediately grabbed her waist and clasped her tightly in his arms.The two stepped on the window coffin, and had already left Mu's house in a few moments.At this time the night was quiet, Wei Shi didn't pick the main road to walk, he only chose remote rooftops to jump and criss-cross, deliberately showing off his proud lightness kung fu.Mu Yunge pouted, letting him show off.

This time, unlike the night of New Year's Eve when he was panic-stricken, the night view of Jinling is also quite fascinating. Knowing that he took a long detour, Mu Yunge just pretended not to know.

It has been half an hour since the two arrived at Lu's house.

Mrs. Lu's illness is getting worse, Lu Lingxuan has moved from her own courtyard to Mrs. Lu's courtyard, to take care of Mrs. Lu nearby.

The two entered the main courtyard, only to see that there was no one in the huge courtyard, the sound of water dripping from the eaves could be clearly heard, and it was pitch black, only a faint light came from the dormitory, and Madam Lu's painful cough could be faintly heard. .

The main courtyard was so depressed that Mu Yunge couldn't help but feel sorry for him, so he asked Wei Shi to wait outside, and quickly pushed the door open to enter.

There was not even a servant in the main house, and the outer room was not even lit. When Mu Yunge went into the inner room, he saw Mrs. Lu leaning on the bed, leaning against the bed. Lu Lingxuan turned her back to her, Holding a spoon to feed Mrs. Lu something to drink, Mrs. Lu took two sips from the spoon, and immediately lay down on the bedside and vomited upside down, and waved her weakly: "Ling Xuan, put it down... Mom can't drink it!"

Lu Lingxuan put the bowl on the stool next to the bed as she said, and patted her back to ease the air.

Madam Lu gasped for a while, then raised her head and saw Mu Yunge, she was taken aback, and immediately looked around, only to find that no one had patted Lu Lingxuan's hand.

Lu Lingxuan followed her gaze and turned around, realizing that it was Mu Yunge, she immediately got up and strode up to meet her, holding her hand: "Yunge, how did you come in?"

The candlelight was dim, and Mu Yunge could only see Lu Lingxuan's appearance clearly at this moment, and couldn't help but gasped.

On a cold spring night, Lu Lingxuan was only wearing a single shirt, and the palms holding her were a little bruised from the cold. The hands that were once as fine and white as porcelain were skinny, and there were bloodstains and old wounds.When Mu Yunge came here, he saw that there was not even a girl in this courtyard. She thought that her aunt was mean, but now the daily life in the main courtyard is all controlled by Lu Lingxuan's hands, no wonder her hands are beyond recognition.Looking up along the palms of those hands, there are bloodstains on the forearms, and the streaks seem to be whipped; the most shocking thing is Lu Lingxuan's head, with four or five bruises criss-crossing on the slender neck, from the cheeks to the chin. His face was bruised, bruised and swollen, and his pretty face was somewhat hideous.

Mu Yunge couldn't help holding her hand firmly, and said anxiously, "What's the matter with your body injury?"

"It's okay." Lu Lingxuan quickly suppressed her words, pulled down her sleeves to cover her wrists, and pouted angrily at Mrs. Lu's direction: "Why are you here?"

Mu Yunge understood that she didn't want to make Mrs. Lu feel worried, so she also changed the subject: "I jumped over the wall. Last time I came to ask for an interview from the main entrance, I was stopped by your aunt Yin. I didn't trust you, so I thought of this method."

Lu Lingxuan sighed, her lowered eyes suddenly lit up: "Yun Ge, since you're here, can you..."

"I know." Mu Yunge pulled her to Madam Lu's side, stretched out his hand to feel the pulse, and said while diagnosing: "I came this time to see Madam Lu's illness."

Lu Lingxuan nodded repeatedly, choked up and said, "Yun Ge, I really don't know how to thank you. How is my mother's illness?"

"Didn't you continue to eat the prescription I prescribed last time?" Mu Yunge checked his pulse for a while, then let go of his hand and asked.

Lu Lingxuan's eyes were flushed, and the tears fell quickly and urgently: "I took it for a while, and my mother's health gradually improved, but somehow the news leaked out, and Aunt Yin knew about it. She then It is said that the Lu family's medicines have been stored for too long, and I am afraid that they are all moldy and unusable, so they searched all the medicines in the main courtyard, and I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup was poured into my father. I am grounded in this courtyard, and the girls around me and the girls in the main courtyard have all been sold off by her for various reasons, and I can no longer get some medicine from outside to feed my mother."

"Where's your elder brother and younger brother?" Mu Yunge was annoyed when he heard that, remembering that Lu Lingxuan's older brothers loved his younger sister very much, and his younger brother was also very obedient, so he asked hesitantly.

Lu Lingxuan's eyes suddenly turned cold: "They? Let's not mention it."

If it wasn't for Niang being seriously ill in bed, if it wasn't for Aunt Yin who was so powerful, how could she see the true colors of father and these brothers?To count on them is to add suddenly to grief and pain.

"You just tell me how long my mother can live!" Lu Lingxuan took a deep breath, pulled her to the outer room, and stared straight at her.
