Chapter 100
what happened?Was Li Yueniang hit? !Mu Qingwan hurriedly crawled up with pain, only to find that Li Yueniang was right in front of her. To be precise, she was lying on Bai Yusong's body in a flying posture, and a feathered arrow was stuck in her back, and blood was pouring The arrow is the center of the circle, and it spreads rapidly towards the surroundings.

Li Yueniang was really injured by an assassin!Mu Qingwan felt her hands and feet were cold, tried her best to restrain the urge to scream, and told Jinyu: "Hurry up and inform Mrs. Xiao, and hurry up and invite the doctor!"

"The assassin may still be outside, I'll go." Nie Tai'an stopped Jinyu and flew out of the window.

"Yueniang! Yueniang!" Mu Qingwan yelled desperately, but Li Yueniang never responded. She finally couldn't help it, and yelled at Bai Yusong, "Aren't you very good at martial arts, aren't you the future champion of martial arts? Can't protect everyone?!"

Bai Yusong didn't understand at all, when did he gain the title of future champion of martial arts, but he was too busy helping Li Yueniang to stop the bleeding, so he didn't have time to question her, and he didn't have time to answer her words.

Seeing that he ignored him, Mu Qingwan became more and more frantic. Jinyu quickly grabbed her arm and said, "Third Miss, I really don't blame the eldest son for this matter. In fact, Miss Li doesn't need to be hurt at all."

"What do you mean?" Mu Qingwan didn't understand.

A very complicated expression appeared on Jinyu's face, and she said: "The arrow is actually aimed at the eldest son, because you are close to him, he is afraid of accidentally hurting you, so he throws you down while waving Fist to block the arrow, but at this moment, Miss Li rushed up and threw herself on the Eldest Young Master's back...so...just..."

"So, I blocked my punch, and the arrow hit her back." Bai Yusong barely helped Li Yueniang stop the bleeding, and raised his head, "But what happened, don't tell her."

"Why, why?" After listening to Jinyu's description, Mu Qingwan's emotions suddenly became complicated, and her mind couldn't react.

Bai Yusong fetched a pillow, put it under Li Yueniang's head, and said, "Miss Li is already very pitiful for being injured. If I know that I have done useless work, I'm afraid it will be even more sad."

What a kind person... However, he knew early on that Li Yueniang was interested in him, even though he rejected her from the beginning.Mu Qingwan looked at Li Yueniang whose back was soaked in blood, and felt that she had begun to fail to predict the direction of their story.

Soon, Nie Taian arrived with Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Kang, along with a doctor—speaking of which, I have to thank that Zhuangzi was prepared for the nobles, so even the doctor was prepared in advance, otherwise I don't know when it will be when I go to invite him from the city.

Everyone worked together to lift Li Yueniang to the bed and asked the doctor to treat her. A few maids helped, and the others went outside to wait for news.

Xiao Shi was anxious and afraid, and kept looking out: "Where is the assassin? Who did the murder? Have you ever seen it clearly?"

Bai Yusong shook his head and said, "The arrow was shot from a tree, and it ran away after shooting."

Didn't catch it?Xiao almost burst into tears. This Zhuangzi is intended to receive nobles. How could there be assassins?Moreover, some customers have been injured here, if something goes wrong, how can she explain to Kang and Mu Qingwan.

Kang's worries are similar to those of Xiao's. If something happens to Li Yueniang, how will she explain it to the Li family?

Mu Qingwan originally wanted to tell them the real reason why Li Yueniang was injured, but after thinking about it, she held back.

The doctor went in for a full hour, and finally walked out.The crowd surrounded him and asked about Li Yueniang's situation.The doctor said: "Fortunately, the arrow is not poisonous. If you wake up tomorrow at the latest, you will be fine."

"Then what if you don't wake up tomorrow?" Xiao Shi asked a lot, but then slapped himself.

The doctor was very witty, so he didn't answer her question, but turned around and explained how Lingxin took care of the patients.

Mu Qingwan went in and looked at Li Yueniang, only to see that her face was pale, her long eyelashes were hanging down, and she was motionless.She tried her best to hold back her tears and went to the door to look up at the sky.Not sure if it was appropriate, Bai Yusong walked up to her and asked in a low voice, "Third Miss, did you give Miss Li's baggage back to her?"

Mu Qingwan's tears fell immediately: "Not yet, I want to return the burden from my current position, she and I will be embarrassed, so I plan to quietly return the burden to you, and let you handle it yourself , but I have never been able to find a chance... If I knew she would be so stupid, I might as well be embarrassed and give her the burden directly..."

"Third Miss, it's okay." Bai Yusong said, "You don't have to pay back that burden, just give it to me."

"Ah?" Mu Qingwan was stunned for a moment, and only then did she understand what he was talking about. She was so surprised that she couldn't believe it, she hurriedly called Jinyu, asked her to quickly fetch the package, handed it to Bai Yusong, and said , "I took it with me on purpose today, just thinking of giving it back to you when I have a chance."

"Miss San is here." Bai Yusong was obviously still in a dull mood, so he took the burden and walked aside.

Mu Qingwan stood guard at the door of Li Yueniang's room, worried and didn't sleep all night.

On the second day, it was only dawn, and the door was suddenly pushed open, and Lingxin ran out screaming happily: "Miss Li is awake! Miss Li is awake!"

Mu Qingwan's tense string suddenly loosened, and she felt her whole body go limp. With Jinyu's support, she didn't fall down.Holding Jinyu's hand, she rushed into the room, only to see that Li Yueniang had opened her eyes, but her face was still frighteningly white.

Anyway, it's good to wake up, at least there is no life-threatening.Mu Qingwan hurriedly asked Lingxin to call the doctor, while she asked Li Yueniang softly, "Does it still hurt?"

Li Yueniang tried her best to look up at her, and forced a smile: "I'm fine, don't worry."

Mu Qingwan opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but suddenly realized that as the burden was taken back by Bai Yusong on her own initiative, it seemed that there was no need for words.Although Bai Yusong's move did not mean that he had promised anything, at least Li Yueniang was not in vain. As for the outcome of the two of them, that was Li Yueniang's own choice, and as an outsider, she could not interfere.

Soon, the doctor rushed over, and after inspecting Li Yueniang, he congratulated Mu Qingwan and said, "There is no serious problem, just take care of it carefully."

Mu Qing thanked him graciously, and asked Jinyu to go to the kitchen in the village to make soup for Li Yueniang.It's been a hundred days since my muscles and bones were hurt, so I have to take good care of it.

When Xiao and the others learned that Li Yueniang was awake, they rushed over one after another, all of them looking relieved.Both Xiao and Kang were worried that if they stayed in Zhuangzi, there would be assassins coming, so after asking the doctor, they carried Li Yueniang into the car, and the group drove back to the city.

Together with the Kang family, Mu Qingwan settled Li Yueniang in the east room of the west wing, and sent someone to deliver letters to her parents; after seeing Li Yueniang took the medicine and fell into a deep sleep, the mother and daughter retreated to Mu Qingwan. Rest in the room.

Mu Qingwan asked Lingxiu to bring a large welcome pillow, and asked Kang to lie down on the soft bed, while she herself sat on the bed and beat her legs.

Thinking about today's situation, Mrs. Kang felt a little scared, and said: "The Bai family's house is restless, and there will be many disasters. Last time, it was a fire that burned Zhuangzi. This time it was even worse, even the assassins came to the door." Said with both hands. Putting the palms together, he said: "Amitabha, thanks to your wise father, you returned the Geng invitation from the Bai family. Otherwise, you will suffer a lot of crimes if you marry into such a family."

Mu Qingwan thought for a while and said, "Mother, the assassin today is after the eldest son of the Bai family."

Mrs. Kang nodded, and said: "I heard Mrs. Xiao said about this. Mrs. Xiao said that she will come to the door tomorrow to apologize. She also said that she will definitely arrest the murderer, so that Yueniang's arrow will not be in vain."

Catch the real culprit, or a scapegoat?Mu Qingwan felt that this matter was quite hanging. If the mastermind behind the assassin was someone from their own family, would they be willing to send the official to comfort Li Yueniang's injury?She was very skeptical that the real culprit was Aunt Huang or Bai Yubai - it was a coincidence that someone came to assassinate Bai Yusong just after Mrs. Xiao revealed that Bai Yubai was suffering from a willow disease.

However, the assassin went after Bai Yusong after all. For his own safety, he would always come up with some means. I hope this future champion of martial arts will not let her down.

Kang took a rest for a while and went back to his room.Mu Qingwan lay down on the pillow, and Lingxiu came over to help her beat her legs, but she waved her hands and said, "Now that I have a new car, the road is not bumpy at all, and my legs don't hurt anymore."

Lingxiu handed her some tea and said, "It's lucky that it's a new car, otherwise Miss Li would have to suffer on the way back."

"That's not true." Mu Qingwan picked up the teacup, took a sip of scented tea, and asked Lingxiu, "Will Shi Tianci come when we're not at home these two days?"

Lingxiu replied: "He came here yesterday. He saw that the third girl was not there, so he went to talk to the fourth girl for a while before leaving."

"Oh?" Mu Qingwan stretched her arms, "Didn't he choose the location of the store, did he know?"

Lingxiu nodded, and said: "I heard from Little Comb and Little Mirror that shopkeeper Shi has taken a fancy to a bookstore in Dishui Lane in the south of the city and wants to sell it."

It really is Dripping Alley, it really is a bookstore, and it is destined that everything will be the same as in the previous life. This also means that if she does not interfere and let the situation develop, what awaits the Mu family will be the end of the family's ruin?Mu Qingwan thought about it, her heart became tense, and she hurriedly ordered Lingxiu: "Let's put the car on the door, let's go to Dishui Lane to have a look."

Lingxiu was taken aback: "Didn't the third girl just come back and want to go out again?"

Mu Qingwan smiled and said: "It's still early, why can't I go out? I used to ride an old-fashioned car, and my bones ached from the bumps, so I was afraid to go out. Now that I have a new car, even if I stay in the car all day long, it's okay. "

"Is the new car really that good?" Lingxiu had never ridden in a new car before, so she was very curious when she heard Mu Qingwan say this, "Then the third girl will take me out later, and let me get a chance to take the new car."

"No problem." Mu Qingwan agreed wholeheartedly.

Lingxiu went happily.

Soon, the carriage was ready, and Mu Qingwan went to report to the Kang family. Since she just met the assassin yesterday, the Kang family was worried that she would go out alone, and tried every means to dissuade her.Mu Qingwan said: "Mother, that assassin went after the eldest son of the Bai family, what has it to do with me, besides, I brought Nie Tai'an with me."

"Wasn't Nie Tai'an here yesterday, and Yueniang was also injured!" Kang still refused.

Mu Qingwan couldn't tell her, but Li Yueniang didn't need to get hurt at all, so she could only continue to persuade her patiently: "Mother, I also have shares in the opening of the store, so I have to go and see where the store is located, otherwise, if I lose money , Am I going to lose money?"

It is a matter of life and death, and the Kang family is very insistent: "Is life more important, or money more important?"

Oops, there is an assassin in the Bai family, it's none of her business, how can her actions be restricted!Mu Qingwan was so anxious that she could only jump her feet, and said angrily: "Anyway, I must go, if mother is worried, just go with me."

Her words were willful, but who would have thought that Mrs. Kang thought about it and said: "That's fine, I'll go with you."

What is the logic?Could it be that if she goes with her, she won't be afraid of assassins?She doesn't know kung fu!Mu Qingwan couldn't laugh or cry.But as long as you can go out, it's okay to go together, but you have to be more careful when you speak, because as long as Kang knows something, he will turn around and tell Mu Changguang.

Before setting off, Mu Qingwan first called Tian Sanniang and told her to go to the West Wing to keep an eye on her, so that no one would disturb Li Yueniang's recuperation. Then she boarded the carriage with Kang and headed towards Dishui Lane.

They are in the east of the city, and Dripping Lane is in the south of the city. Although Yangxing County is not big, they still walked for a long time before arriving at their destination.The alley was very narrow, and it was impossible for a carriage to enter, so Mu Qingwan and his party had to get off at the entrance of the alley and walk in.After walking inside, Kang thought that Mu Qingwan had mistaken the place, and asked suspiciously: "Qingwan, do you remember correctly? Is it really Dripping Lane?"

It's no wonder that Mrs. Kang was suspicious. This alley is very remote and hardly popular. Most of the small shops on both sides are closed, and only the few remaining ones are dying. Basically, no customers come to the door.

Mu Qingwan held Kang's hand, walked forward, and said, "It's Dishui Lane, I remember correctly, let's look for it again."

Just as I was talking, I heard Lingxiu shouting excitedly in front of me: "This is the Tongru Bookstore! Third Miss, I recognize the words 'Tongru Bookstore'!"

Mu Qingwan went over to have a look, and found that it was really Tongru Bookstore, and praised her with a busy smile: "These words are quite complicated, and it's hard for you to recognize them. It can be seen that you have worked hard during this period of time."

When they were talking, the Kang family had already frowned—what kind of broken shop is this? The Kang family also does business, and the worst shop is ten thousand times better than this one. Look at the empty shop, There is no popularity, the paint on the bookshelf is peeling, the books are dusty, and the only guy is still dozing off on the counter. How can he open the door to welcome customers?

After Mu Qingwan praised Lingxiu, she came over to comfort her: "Mother, if the business of this store is good, they won't be willing to sell it."

That's what I said, but at least the surrounding environment should be better, but if you look at this alley, you can't even see many pedestrians. Can there be customers coming?Kang sighed, and said: "Shi Tianci is not suitable for business after all, you let your third uncle and fourth uncle resign him."

Shi Tianci had already climbed up to Mu Laosan, how could Mu Laosan quit him, besides, their purpose was not to make money, otherwise how could they choose such a place - Shi Tianci is not stupid.

It is precisely because he is not stupid that his motives are worth pondering. Perhaps, this is the first step to reveal his true face... But, where should we start... The deity in the previous life was a big man who hardly ever left his house. Miss, so in the timeline, although there is everything, it is all unknown...

While Mu Qingwan was thinking, she pulled Kang Shi back, and Kang Shi asked puzzledly: "Qingwan, you came here on purpose, why didn't you go in and ask?"

Lingxiu also said: "Miss San, you should go and ask how much Shopkeeper Shi paid for this store."

She really wanted to ask, but in this way, her identity would be exposed. If this matter got to Shi Tianci's ears, wouldn't it be a scare?So Mu Qingwan just shook her head.

In fact, she was also very troubled, how could she conceal her identity and at the same time inquire about the news, unfortunately, there was no one available by her side, whom Shi Tianci would not recognize...

While I was worrying, I suddenly heard someone calling: "Isn't this my aunt and Miss Biao?"

Mu Qingwan turned her head to look, but it turned out to be Laiwang's wife.

Kang also turned around and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Laiwang's daughter-in-law came forward, saluted them, and said, "Hey, it's my natal brother who insisted on me paying to open a shop for him in this alley. When the shop first opened, it was really good. It’s okay, but who knows that in the past two years, the fireworks alley next to it has moved out, and there are fewer people visiting Dishui Alley. The business is getting worse day by day, and it can’t last at all. go out."

Kang Shi nodded and said: "At that time, your brother couldn't foresee the situation today, so you don't have to rush, just search slowly, if the price is right, you can buy it, don't be reluctant, the more you put it, the less valuable it will be."

"That's exactly what I think." Laiwang's daughter-in-law nodded again and again, and invited them to sit in the shop, "My brother's shop sells tea. Although the business has not been good in the past few years, there are still a few cans of good tea. , aunt and cousin to try it?"

Kang didn't drink any tea and didn't want to go, but Mu Qingwan was a little moved, so she winked at Laiwang's daughter-in-law-she had something to say, and if she wanted to ask Laiwang's wife, it would be better for Kang not to be present, lest Let her keep the secret and not tell Mu Changguang, she should feel uncomfortable again.

Laiwang's wife smiled at Mu Qingwan and lowered her head.

Kang said to her: "If you have any difficulties, just tell me."

Laiwang's daughter-in-law thanked her and sent them all the way to the carriage before going back.

When they got home, the mother and daughter went to visit Li Yueniang in the east room of the West Wing. Li Yueniang was still asleep. According to Tian Sanniang, Mu Qinglian and Aunt Luo had come to visit together, and asked her to give Li Yueniang a rest on the grounds that she could not disturb Li Yueniang's rest. blocked.Mu Qingwan praised her greatly, and asked Lingxiu to dig out a pair of small silver bracelets, and asked her to bring them back to the youngest girl to wear. Tian Sanniang was overjoyed, and was even happier than she got the bracelets, thank you After several times, I just went back with Kang.
