The first wife is fierce and sturdy

Chapter 68: Not a Lucky Star, but a Disastrous Star (3)
"Big cousin, don't be angry! If we hold back, maybe someone will rescue us!" Jiang Ziyan looked at Mu Jingyan worriedly, and comforted her.She believed that the emperor would not involve them. After all, although the uncle is not well-known, he is a minister of merit.The third cousin is also with them, and the second uncle will definitely find a way to rescue them!
Mu Jingyan rolled her eyes at Mu Panxue, seeing her look of contempt, she rolled her eyes secretly.It really is time to see people's hearts!Mu Panxue always looks like a soft and weak lady, but now she is finally showing her true nature!

Just when everyone thought there was nothing going on, one or two jailers each brought in a tray with a few bowls of leftover rice and a pot of water, and threw them at the door of the cell with a look of disgust and disdain. Without saying a word, they turned around and left with a cold snort.

Mu Jingyan's eyes lit up, even though it was leftovers, it was not bad at all, and there was still water to drink, so she hurriedly got up and brought it over.

"Although it's leftovers, at least it's enough to satisfy my hunger! Let's drink some water first!" He said, picking up the broken bowl with two mouths broken and pouring out a bowl of water.

Mu Panxue glanced at the few bowls of leftovers contemptuously. Although she was so hungry and panicked that she couldn't eat enough, she still gritted her teeth and maintained her ladylike appearance.She can't lose face in front of Mu Jingyan and the others!She doesn't bother with a few bowls of food that even dogs won't eat!

Mu Jingyan understood what Mu Panxue was thinking with just one glance, rolled her eyes secretly, and handed the water to Mrs. Zhongshan Hou.

"Ma'am! Let me drink some water first!" In fact, her thirsty throat was smoking!But Concubine Shu's title is still valid, and she is the one with the biggest head in this cell, so naturally she has to drink it first before talking about it!
Mrs. Zhongshanhou looked at Mu Jingyan gratefully, took the water bowl and said softly.

"Your Majesty! Let's drink some water to save some energy!"

Concubine Shu nodded softly, and went to drink water from Mrs. Zhongshanhou's hand, but her eyes became moist.In the past, she was too lazy to take a look at how many delicacies from mountains and seas were held in front of her, but now she was very moved by a bowl of cold water.

Mu Jingyan swallowed, and couldn't help thinking.Don't be moved!It's just a bowl of water!Hurry up and return the bowl to her, her throat is really going to smoke!
Just as Mu Jingyan was urging Concubine Shu to drink quickly and get out the bowl, the big fat mouse tied to the pillar chirped and pawed its legs towards the food place.

Mu Jingyan became angry when she saw it!rely on it!She was so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back, and she finally wanted some leftovers to eat, so the rats wanted to grab some food too?
When Xiang Wanqing saw the mouse struggling, Mu Jingyan's face darkened, she hurriedly got up and grabbed the cloth strip, and was about to repair it when she heard a hurried shout.

"Slow!" With a shake of his hand, the mouse struggled more violently.

Everyone looked at Mu Jingyan in puzzlement, not knowing why.But Mu Jingyan stepped forward and snatched the water bowl from Mrs. Zhongshanhou's hand. Looking at the clear water thoughtfully, she cast her eyes at the struggling mouse, and put the water bowl next to the mouse.

For a moment, everyone looked at the mouse in shock, whose seven orifices bled to death after struggling a few times, looked at each other in disbelief, and felt lingering fear.

Xiang Wanqing hurriedly got up, stumbled and ran to the cell door and shouted at Xiang Yihua's cell.

"Grandfather! Brother! The food is poisonous! Don't eat it!"

As soon as the words fell, screams of pain came from the other side, everyone's hearts tightened, and they heard Xiang Yihua's voice.

"Fourth sister! You must not eat anything brought from outside! Tell mother to be careful!"

Mu Jingyan picked up a few bowls of leftovers and the pot of water and threw them directly into the opposite cell, frowning.If they die violently in prison at this time, they will definitely be given the reputation of committing suicide in fear of crime, and there will be no place for the Zhongshan Hou Mansion to stand up!

"Yan'er! You are our family's benefactor..." Mrs. Zhongshan Hou looked at Mu Jingyan gratefully, and hugged the shivering concubine Shu tightly, feeling a chill in her heart.It seems that their family tree is very popular, and those people are trying their best to get rid of them!
"What are you talking about, madam! Wanyi and Wanqing and I are sisters, and we should do these things! Now as long as we don't get tricked by others, I think those people can't wait to get rid of us. In all likelihood, the Queen Mother has already Intervene in this matter, and the truth will be revealed soon! What we have to do is to persist until the time when we are wronged!" Mu Jingyan smiled and said it didn't matter.

Madam Hou of Zhongshan looked at Mu Jingyan's confident and firm eyes, and inexplicably believed Mu Jingyan's words, her eyes lit up with hope, she exchanged glances with Concubine Shu, and nodded.

Hope rose again in the hearts of everyone, cuddling together, waiting tenaciously for the dawn to come.

In the dark of the cell, a pair of gloomy eyes stared at Mu Jingyan, glanced at the food that had been left on the ground, and slowly disappeared into the dark.

Mu Jingyan turned her head sensitively, the whole cell was quiet, there was no sound, she couldn't help frowning slightly, she obviously felt a pair of gloomy eyes on her.

"Big cousin! I'm on duty tonight. Your back injury hasn't healed yet, so go to bed first!" Jiang Ziyan said worriedly looking at Mu Jingyan's pale face.

"Yes! Sister Mu! You can rest easy and sleep! I'll watch tonight!" Xiang Wanqing also worried.In the past few days and nights, Mu Jing was on duty to let them sleep.But Mu Jingyan is not made of iron after all!

"Sister Mu, you can go to sleep! If you are worried, the three of us will watch and wake you up immediately if there is any movement!" Xiang Wanyi knew that Mu Jingyan was afraid that someone would do something wrong at night, but they didn't notice .

Mrs. Zhongshan Hou and Concubine Shu also comforted Mu Jingyan, after all, Mu Jingyan's injuries were not healed.

Mu Jingyan is indeed very tired, tired, thirsty, hungry and sleepy!Seeing everyone's persuasion, Cheng responded with a cracked mouth and leaned against Xiang Wanqing to sleep.

Seeing that Mu Jingyan had fallen asleep so tired, Xiang Wanyi and the others looked at each other and sat silently, waiting for the dawn.

Mu Jingyan slept very deeply this time, and when she woke up, she heard the noisy voices in the cell, and the sound of Mrs. Zhongshan Hou's family crying with joy.

"I didn't do the poison! I didn't do the poison!" Concubine Shu excitedly grabbed Mrs. Zhongshan Hou and kept repeating, with tears of joy on her face.

Mrs. Zhongshan Hou kept nodding her head, tears falling down.

Xiang Wanqing pulled Mu Jingyan while crying and laughing.

"Sister Mu! Sister Mu! Our family is fine! Our family is fine!" The emotions that have been suppressed for the past few days finally found an outlet to vent, and went up to hug Mu Jingyan, crying and laughing.

Mu Jingyan looked at the family who were weeping with joy, and realized in a split second that there must be news from Shao Jingming!She put her arms around Xiang Wanqing and showed a relieved smile.

The father-in-law who announced the decree hadn't left yet, he looked at the people who behaved abnormally and expressed his understanding, and stood aside with his head bowed respectfully.The extermination of the family was a matter of certainty, but in the end, this concubine Shu and the Zhongshanhou's mansion just turned around brilliantly. It seems that this master, he must be careful in serving him in the future!
