Black-bellied Xianggong: Cute wife is not easy to mess with

Chapter 4 The silver lining

Mu Qingwan looked at Nie Tai'an expectantly, but Nie Tai'an still had that half-understanding expression, which really drove people crazy.She really couldn't communicate with him, so she had to say: "If you don't understand, go back and tell your boy what I said. If he is willing, he will come directly to Mu's house tomorrow to find me, and say it's the third girl from Mu's family, Xu Xu." I left a bag of rice at your house, and he came to pick it up."

Nie Tai'an finally nodded, turned and left.

Finally understood!Mu Qingwan could only cry bitterly.She turned around to tidy up the pots and pans, closed the kitchen door, and walked into the room holding the oil lamp. As she walked, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, so she hurriedly turned to the second door, and found that the light in the concierge was on, and there was still a faint sound coming from inside. There was the sound of two night ladies talking.The woman guarding the door was not asleep, how did Nie Tai'an get out? !Mu Qingwan was startled and suspicious, but Nie Tai'an had long since disappeared, and she couldn't find anyone to ask, so she had to wait until the next time they met to ask him.

This person, once full, tends to get sleepy, and Mu Qingwan was no exception, as soon as she returned to the room, she started yawning, took off her clothes and climbed onto the bed, and soon fell asleep.

In the early morning of the second day, when the sky was just dawn, Mu Qingwan was dreaming in a daze. She dreamed that she had become fat like a pig because she only ate and didn't exercise. She was sweating coldly from fright when she heard Xiao Cui'er knocking on the window outside. Call: "Third Miss, Third Miss, wake up, someone is looking for you!"

It's not yet dawn, who is looking for her?Mu Qingwan got up in a daze, rubbed her eyes, and got excited, could it be that Nie Tai'an's servant came?This is a big deal, she quickly dragged off her clothes, dressed neatly, went to the window, opened the window and asked Xiao Cui'er: "Who is it?"

Xiao Cui'er looked at her messy hair, and replied: "Third Miss, it's Wanren, a servant from Nie's family at the end of the alley. He insisted that Third Miss gave their family a bag of rice and rushed to take it back to cook porridge."

Sure enough, it was Nie Tai'an's servant. It seemed that although he was stupid, he could still pass on a message. Mu Qingwan was immediately relieved, and waved to Xiao Cui'er: "My hair is messy? Come and help me comb it."

Xiao Cui'er said "Hey", walked around to the gate and came in. While helping her comb her hair, she called the little maid to fetch water to wash her face, and muttered in her mouth: "The third girl has time to do good deeds, why don't you think of a way? Bring Jinyu back, and there are only a few pictures of little girls with hands and feet in front of you, and there is not even a person who combs her hair at night."

Jinyu was her personal maid who was framed by Mu Qinglian and sent to Zhuangzi. It seems that Xiao Cui'er is very enthusiastic and has a good relationship with Jinyu. Mu Qingwan's heart moved, and she asked, "Jinyu Is it true that your hands and feet are not clean and you stole the fourth girl's jewelry?"

The fourth girl is Mu Qinglian, she accused Jinyu of stealing jewelry.

Xiao Cui'er showed an angry look on her face, and said: "Third Miss doesn't know who Jinyu is. If she had shallow eyes, would she still follow Third Miss wholeheartedly? I'm afraid she would have climbed a high branch long ago!"

When Mu Qingwan heard this, she almost wanted to cry for her deity. The dignified only daughter of the first wife has such a low status in the family. Under normal circumstances, wouldn't it be considered climbing high if she didn't hang out with her?
In this way, Jinyu was wronged, and it seemed that there was one more thing she had to do.Mu Qingwan immediately assured Xiao Cui'er: "Jin Yu is in Zhuangzi, her life should be safe, so don't worry, just wait for me to slowly figure out a proper way - after all, it has been so long , it is almost impossible to clear Jinyu's grievances by normal means."

Xiao Cui'er understood this reason, she nodded excitedly, and said: "Third Miss is old enough, as long as you have the heart, I will be satisfied."

Mu Qingwan looked at Xiao Cui'er, who was blushing with excitement, and thought, this is a loyal one, just like Jinyu, she didn't climb high branches, but stayed in front of Kang, but she vaguely remembered that Xiao Cui'er Her fate in her previous life was not so good, and her end was very miserable. When she was free, she had to look through the timeline again.

After tidying things up for a while, Mu Qing politely declined Xiao Cui'er's offer to accompany her, and went to the second door alone.The mother-in-law who guarded the door did not let Wan Ren enter the second door, so he stood outside at the bottom of the steps, looking very calm, much better than the servants of the Mu family.

Mu Qingwan didn't go there, and only asked her mother-in-law to call him in, and said loudly on purpose: "We are all neighbors in the neighborhood. It's hard to see that you are always hungry, so I called you to come and bring a bag of rice back."

Wan Ren bowed to thank her, followed her, and headed towards the kitchen.Mu Qingwan deliberately slowed down her pace, and asked him in a low voice: "Do you know about De'an County? There is a family named Li there. In a word: The third young master who collects cotton at home in Yangxing County has been engaged to a family in the same county for more than half a year."

The message was so thoughtless that even Mu Qingwan felt vague, but Wan Ren didn't ask anything, but nodded with a look of asking you to rest assured.

This boy is reliable at first glance!Mu Qingwan faintly felt that this matter could be accomplished, so she became happy and promised: "After the matter is accomplished, I will give you two taels of silver."

"There is still money to take?!" Wan Ren, who had been extremely quiet since entering the door, exclaimed in surprise at this moment, "Isn't that bag of rice just a reward?"

For such a long distance, he only needs a pocket of rice?Is he calm, or is he too honest?Mu Qingwan was speechless.

Since Wan Ren was called here by sending rice, she naturally had to put on a show, so even though she knew that the kitchen would not agree, she took Wan Ren for a walk, and then went to the second gate empty-handed, in front of the housekeeper. In front of his son, he gave Wan Ren two silver coins to prove that he was really called to give rice.

Sending Wan Ren away, Mu Qingwan went to the main room, ready to greet the Kang family, but found that Mu Changguang was actually there, sitting on the chair on the upper left, with stubble all over his face, dark circles under his eyes, and even a little swollen , It seems that last night was patronizing and having fun, and didn't sleep well.Aunt Luo stood beside him with her hands in her sleeves and her face was ashen. When she saw Mu Qingwan coming in, her eyes were like knives, as if she wanted to eat her alive.

Mu Qingwan vaguely guessed some clues, went up to greet Mu Changguang and Kang Shi, then walked to Kang Shi's side, and by helping her change tea, asked: "Mother, what's going on?"
