poison king

Chapter 17 (17)
Mrs. Mu looked left and right, and finally the niece she was longing for came. With the support of the maid, Cui Laner carefully stepped down from the carriage. With a peaceful smile, a young man bent down as usual, letting her Stepping on the stool, such a gentle woman stepped on the man's back with a smile on her face. When she got off the carriage, an old woman opened an oil-paper umbrella to shield her from the sun: "Miss, wait a little bit, the sun is shining today." It's really big."

The person who reported the letter had arrived before a stick of incense. At this moment, Mrs. Mu was ready, and greeted her from a long way from the house, grabbed her hand, and almost shed tears: "Lan'er, you are here!"

"Auntie, it's fine, why are you crying?" Cui Lan'er took out a silk handkerchief from her cuff and handed it over.

###077 She refuses

"Auntie, it's fine, why are you crying?" Cui Lan'er took out a silk handkerchief from her cuff and handed it over.

"Lan'er is really sensible. Your brother Feng has had a serious incident recently. Did your father mention it to you?" Mrs. Mu said while holding her hand, the sun is hot outside, don't burn Lan'er's delicate skin.

"I know, I heard from my father that Brother Feng fell his head, so Auntie, please find me to celebrate." My father said that it is not good to offend my uncle and aunt, so she came here.She said the word Chongxi, she blushed and lowered her head.

"Although your elder brother Feng is now the leader of the martial arts alliance, he was stimulated a few days ago. Now he can't speak or recognize people. He looks like a living dead." Mrs. Mu led her into the room and told her to go up After drinking tea, he closed the door and said.

"Auntie, are you kidding me? Why can't Brother Feng be speechless?" She thought it was just a little stupid, and she heard that she became the leader of the martial arts alliance, so it shouldn't be so serious!If it wasn't for seeing that Brother Zaifeng became the leader of the martial arts alliance, she would not have come.

"It's true, why would my mother curse my son, time is running out, let's keep everything simple! After he gets better, we will make up the ceremony and invite your parents to have fun. Right now, I can only feel sorry for you gone."

"Auntie, there's no rush. I want to go and see Brother Feng. I'm worried about his condition." Cui Lan'er tactfully evaded.

"Why are you not in a hurry? Your brother Feng's life is in danger at any moment, but since you care about him so much, go and have a look! Auntie will accompany you." After Madam Mu finished speaking, Yahoo opened the door and accompanied Cui Laner herself. Go to Mu Yanfeng's residence.

The maids quickly saluted when they saw them coming: "Madam, Miss Biao!"

"Let's all be free! How is the young master today?"

"The young master is lying on the bed. Today he didn't even want to get out of the bed. He just kept his eyes open and didn't say anything. After a while, he vomited out the food he fed in at noon." The servant girl blushed. Eye sockets receded to the side.

Before seeing anyone, Cui Lan'er felt that she had been terribly frightened, her face turned pale, and when she saw Mu Yanfeng who was like a living dead on the bed, she only felt that those eyes that were radiant in the past were now It's so dark, it makes people feel scared, it's very scary.

This kind of husband is fine!
She didn't want to be a living widow anymore, and she was even more afraid when he looked like he was going to leave at any time. She used to like her cousin a little bit, but that was because he was handsome, rich and powerful. Who cares about a sick and disabled person?Marrying him is like marrying a cold tomb!

She is still young and beautiful, even if she offends her aunt, the princes and grandsons outside are still queuing up to marry her. The smell of medicine in the room makes her want to gag, so she pretends to be weak and said to Mrs. Mu: "Auntie, I suddenly feel dizzy, let's go outside and talk!"

"Why do you feel dizzy? You are still so young, should you call the doctor to show you?"

"No need, maybe it's because I've been in the carriage for a long time." Cui Lan'er smiled, if she called the doctor, wouldn't she be showing her flaws.

"Alright then! In the evening, I'll ask someone to cook some dishes you like, and cook a pot of brain-reinforcing soup."

"No need, Auntie. I just remembered that I have one more important thing to do. I have a close friend who is going to get married next month. I haven't helped her embroider her wedding dress yet. I have to go back." She was afraid that she would not leave, so she said Maybe at night they will be forced to get married.

###078 Urgent

"No need, Auntie. I just remembered that I have one more important thing to do. I have a close friend who is going to get married next month. I haven't helped her embroider her wedding dress yet. I have to go back." She was afraid that she would not leave, so she said Maybe at night they will be forced to get married.

"What's the rush? You spent more than half a month here. How can you leave in such a hurry? At least pay homage to your cousin first, and then leave after entering the bridal chamber." Mrs. Mu felt a little unhappy. This child has always been quite measured and sensible. What happened today?
"Auntie, let me tell the truth! Cousin is like this, it may not be useful to be happy, and it may aggravate the condition, I think it's better to forget it! After cousin is cured, it will not be too late to get married."

"I understand what you mean." Mrs. Mu is not a master who likes to beat around the bush. She snorted and said, "You don't want to marry Feng'er anymore, do you! You despise him like this, and you are afraid that he will drag you down. Bar?"

"Auntie, it's not that I don't want to marry, it's just temporary. I didn't dislike him, but just for the sake of his illness. My aunt's conscience can prove that I want to marry my cousin, but do you think his current state is suitable for marriage? Boss You can't ask me to marry a rooster, it's a joke!"

When Madam Mu heard her say this, not only did she not feel relaxed, but her complexion became even uglier. She has never seen any kind of person in all these years. If she is sincere, you can tell if she is sincere. If you like Fenger, there is no need to say anything, we will get married tonight. If you don’t want the gate to be there, go wherever you like, Auntie has treated you well all these years! What to do, you choose yourself!”

She has been treating Cui Lan'er as her own daughter for so many years, but she never thought that this girl would be so powerful and hide such narrow-mindedness. Even if Feng'er has been like this for the rest of her life, if she can treat Lan'er badly, she must be a princess. So, if Feng'er is gone, it's not impossible for her to remarry.But I didn't expect this girl to hurt her heart so much. Feng'er's illness made her unwilling to marry. She used to say that it was good. What did you say that my aunt could help you match up? My brother Feifeng won't marry!Pooh!
"Auntie, since the conversation has come to this point, it can be considered that Lan'er is unfilial! I don't want to marry." After she finished speaking, she covered her face and left, running faster than a rabbit.

Mrs. Mu was very sad, this was a big blow to her, the niece she loved as her daughter didn't care about her son's life or death.

But something that made her even more sad soon came. I don't know who spread the news. The news that Mu Yanfeng was dying of illness and became a living dead soon spread everywhere. Many people in the city were talking about it. Sun was still eating breakfast, but Mu Butler hurried in: "Ma'am, something is wrong with Madam!"

"What happened? Did something happen to Feng'er again?" Mrs. Mu has been extremely depressed recently. The eldest son is dying of illness, the second son is still recuperating in Mu's Village, and the niece left them alone. She doesn't know other than these, What else can be considered a big deal?

"No, the spies are here to report! The Dark Emperor, Xia Houxuan and others are rushing to Luopan Mountain with many martial arts comrades, and they will arrive around noon."

"What are they here for? Visiting patients?" I'm afraid they don't have such a good heart!They are all defeated by Feng'er's subordinates, so it's not bad if they don't hold grudges.Mrs. Mu put down the bowl in her hand, wishing to hear the details.

###079 Big things are bad
"What are they here for? Visiting patients?" I'm afraid they don't have such a good heart!They are all defeated by Feng'er's subordinates, so it's not bad if they don't hold grudges.Mrs. Mu put down the bowl in her hand, wishing to hear the details.

"It's the news from Chi. I heard that many martial arts people were discussing the young master's condition in Lianglipu the day before yesterday. Some of them said that the young master is not qualified to be the leader of the martial arts at all now, and he has abandoned such a strong backer as Aoshi Villa. It's nothing. Terrible. I'm afraid they are here to ask for the re-election of the leader of the martial arts alliance, so the two of them brought someone here to cause trouble." Mu Guanjia said, if it is true, it will be a big trouble.

"Who spread the word!" Mrs. Mu thought something bad was going on, maybe something big was going to happen.

"I haven't investigated clearly yet, ma'am, hurry up and solve the matter in front of me!" Mu Butler felt that it was time to burn his brows, and he said anxiously: "I also ask Madam to make a decision immediately, whether to move out of Tianluo Palace and go back immediately, or to stay in Tianluo Palace." Here, wait for them to hold a martial arts conference?"

When Mrs. Mu heard that this was okay, she immediately lost her position and grabbed Master Mu's hand in fright: "Master, what do you think should be done? Feng'er will definitely be removed from the position of the leader of the martial arts by them. But Feng'er's appearance is not suitable for taking him on a long journey home! Besides, it has to do with the face of our Mujiazhuang. Wouldn't it be shameful if he ran away in a desperate manner, but it would be a shame if he stayed and was driven away. It's embarrassing."

"There is a way for my husband." Sitting there, Master Mu casually picked up a chopstick and ate a snack.

"What way? Say it quickly!"

"A few days ago, my husband felt that it was inappropriate to drive the Situ family away like this. After all, Feng'er and Situ Qing made a marriage contract in public, so I asked someone to invite them back and formally resolve the marriage contract. The day will come." After Master Mu finished speaking, he deliberately bought a barrier to make Mrs. Mu anxious.

Mrs. Mu didn't understand: "Sister, you are right, but what does this have to do with our son and these martial arts people?"

"If we can correct our attitude and persuade Situ's family to become in-laws, won't everything be solved? Everyone in the martial arts world will sell Situ Ao some face. He is my son's best backer. Being the leader of the martial arts all depends on Situ Ao, the so-called success is Situ, and defeat is Situ. In this case, why don't we turn the fight into a jade and let them get married. Feng Er likes Situ Qing very much, aren't you in a hurry to rejoice? I think Situ Qing is not a bad girl. If she still agrees to get married at this time, it will prove that she really loves me and is not a person who is greedy for vanity. We must treat her well. Maybe she can cure Feng'er's illness It’s not necessarily true, heart disease needs heart medicine, that’s what the doctor said.”

Mrs. Mu hated Qingqing very much, but when she heard this, she felt that it made sense. Although she felt a little unhappy, what else could she say? Lord's!"

Master Mu secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, this matter can be considered a success!

Sure enough, those people in the Wulin arrived at noon, clamoring to see Mu Yanfeng, Mrs. Mu hurriedly asked the guards to stop them, but how could those people in the world be easily stopped?

In twos or twos, she used light work to jump over the palace gate and searched inside. Mrs. Mu was anxious, she came out of the room and said, "How could you break in here? This is not your mansion."

###080 Blindfolded

In twos or twos, she used light work to jump over the palace gate and searched inside. Mrs. Mu was anxious, she came out of the room and said, "How could you break in here? This is not your mansion."

"We want to see Mu Yanfeng, let him come out!"

"My son is resting. The doctor said that he needs to rest. The visitor is a guest. Let's eat in the front hall!" It happened to be noon, and Mrs. Mu thought that these people must not have eaten yet!Let's delay for a while!

Those people are not begging for food, they don't care about this meal at all, what they want is the seat of the leader of the martial arts alliance, one of them went into the room and sat on a chair: "Tell Mu Yanfeng to come out, if he doesn't come out, I won't leave gone."

"That is, tell him to come out. This position has always been occupied by the capable. What can a living dead person do?"

"Don't bully people too much!" Mrs. Mu patted the table angrily.

"Why don't you invite Miss Situ out?" Everyone heard that Mrs. Mu had driven Miss Situ away, and the Mu family lost such a big backer, so they immediately started to move.

"What do you see her for?" What does a large group of men want to see a woman for?
One of them said: "Situ Qing was indeed driven away. Situ Ao should not care about this matter anymore. Why should we worry about it? Everyone, since Mu Yanfeng won't come out to see us, let's treat him as abstaining." ! Let’s choose another martial arts leader.”

"Yes, good idea!" The others nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Mu is okay when she hears this?He hurriedly wanted to stop him: "You ungrateful people, our Mu family usually treats you well, with no grievances or enmities, why are you so hard on each other?"

"Wulin can't be left alone for a day. If he can't meet us, something must be wrong with him! Tell him to come out quickly." A thick and impatient man threw a vase on the ground.

Madam Mu's face turned pale with fright: "Ah!"

"Mrs. Mu, you should hurry up and hand over Mu Yanfeng!" the group of people in the Jianghu said aggressively.

Just when Mrs. Mu was in a hurry and didn't know what to do, a clear voice suddenly came from outside the door, but it was smiling: "Hey, what wind brought you here? Rare visitors!"

Everyone looked at the voice, and it turned out to be Situ Qing. Situ Qing looked at Mrs. Mu walking in, talking and laughing happily, and said affectionately to her: "Mother-in-law, my husband and I are back. The wild peach trees in the back mountain are bearing fruit. I brought some back for you, and there are still some unripe ones, I will pick them next time."

Mrs. Mu was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect her to appear suddenly, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Qingqing just yelled at the door again: "Wu Mu, what are you doing standing outside the door? Why don't you come in!"

Then everyone saw an aggrieved Mu Yanfeng walking in slowly from the door, looking very afraid of his wife, as if he was too frightened to even speak, how pitiful it is!

It seems that the rumors are wrong, Mu Yanfeng is fine at all!Situ Qing was not driven away either, it turned out that all these were just false rumors!What's horrible is that they made their trip in vain, and they didn't know it was fake news, so damn it!
Seeing that everyone looked scared after knowing it, Qingqing stepped down the steps for everyone: "I was too busy chatting with my mother-in-law, and I neglected everyone, please have a meal together! What's the matter for coming so far away?"

"It's nothing, I'm leaving!" Everyone came angrily, and then covered up in despair.

###081 Take care of him

"It's nothing, I'm leaving!" Everyone came angrily, and then covered up in despair.

Qingqing hid behind the door and saw the group of people walking away, so she closed the door, found a chair and sat down: "I'm scared to death!"

"Feng'er?" Madam Mu looked at Mu Yanfeng in front of her, feeling incredible. How could he suddenly be able to walk?

That "Mu Yanfeng" washed his face with a cup of tea on the table, and tore off a human skin mask from his face. It turned out to be Mu Butler.

Qingqing looked at Mrs. Mu's puzzled look, and said: "This is a special skill of one of my senior brothers. It's still ready-made, and it's still hot. Fortunately, they didn't look carefully, otherwise they will definitely see the flaws."

Although she doesn't like Qingqing very much, but thinking of her master's words, she still calmed down and nodded: "Oh, it looks quite similar."

"Auntie, where is the wood? I just asked, and I haven't had time to see it yet." She had to go and see him right away.

"Housekeeper, take her to see it! We'll talk about the rest later." She was extremely tired now.

Qingqing never thought that one day, Mu Yanfeng would become like this. He lay lifeless on the bed, his eyes were empty, which made people feel flustered.She thought she was just passing by without a trace in his life!It would make him feel uncomfortable for a few days at most, but he didn't want to be as affectionate as him, so he fell into such a situation.

She should have expected that he is different from the past now. Although he is still strong in martial arts, he has long since lost the mind of the past. Since he was rescued by her that day, his situation has been very unstable, fragile and sensitive.Maybe he didn't love her, but depended on her, but was this dependence not all he had now?
But she cowardly chose to leave and give up this relationship. She really shouldn't, she didn't dare to be petty, no matter what his mother said, she would stay by his side in the future.
