Chapter 92, the story of the young master of the Mu family
Seeing this, Xinyi obediently opened the brocade box... and there were only a few incense and candles in it. Just as Xinyi looked at her with strange eyes, Master Wei pointed to the room not far away, "Go and send the box in."
"Oh, oh." Although Xinyi felt as if something was wrong, she still carefully held the box and walked to the door. As soon as she opened the door, she was suddenly pushed from behind. Her toes hit the threshold, staggered and fell directly to the ground. The door behind him was closed...
The sound of the door trap from the outside.
The box had been thrown to the ground, and Xinyi naturally had no time to pick it up. He just struggled to get up and jumped on the door to open it... But as expected, the door was really difficult to open it from the inside.
Naturally, she guessed that it was the little poisonous woman surnamed Wei who pushed her forward, and now she has locked her in a small dark room and won't let her go out.
But Xinyi still doesn't understand why he locked her here. After Mu Fangjin finished changing his clothes, Wang Cai would definitely bring him to find him. Her second brother is hard to say, but if something really happens, this is still reliable. In this case, doesn't it mean that Mu Fangjin will come in a moment and let her out at that time?
Thinking of this, Xinyi was a little relieved. She expected that it was just a small dark room for a while, and she would not even be afraid of this. Besides... it's not dark here.
...Wait, isn't it black?
Xinyi was stunned, but he felt that there was really some light here, but it was not like natural light like sunlight, but... candlelight.
In broad daylight... How to use candlelight here? Is it possible that there is not even a window... Is it really a 'small dark room'? Xinyi thought of this and turned his head to look in the direction of the candlelight, followed by the pungent smell of incense burning.
Then, the sight along the light is almost a long candlelight. Under the candlestick is a re-condensed bamboo shoots with dripping white wax oil... Next to it are incense burners and fruit plates.
On top of all this... is a spiritual card. One by one, covered with the whole wall, as many as 20 or 30. Xinyi took a cold breath, and his legs softened in an instant.
The ancestral hall? No... It's impossible. Anyway, this Mu family is a big family. How can this ancestral hall be so narrow and dilapidated? Besides, the ancestral halls are all under the care of, how can people enter casually?
But if it's not the ancestral hall of the Mu family... What is this place?
She leaned close to the door, and her fingers were so nervous that she held the door frame. While she was staring at the spiritual card in front of her, a woman's hoarse voice suddenly came from the dark corner: "You..."
"Hm!?" Xinyi was shocked and almost sat on the ground. Ghosts and monsters are the most annoying, okay? Although she usually shows people's faces and solves the signature, she is obviously afraid of this kind of thing. Even if she knows it's fake, the haunted house is one of the places she never dares to set foot on!!
Xinyi bit his lip and choped without calling out, and his legs began to soften and changed to a kneeling posture. She said that she had never harmed anyone, so there would be no ghosts to seek her revenge, but no matter what... she was still afraid after all.
"Is it Linger who pushed you forward?" The man approached slowly and asked.
"The small and small ones are the newcomers. I don't know which one is 'Ling'." Xinyi answered obediently, "I seem to have been pushed by Master Wei."
"That's not wrong with Linger." She slowly approached Xinyi, and the shadow dragged her long in the dim candlelight.
- Is this a human, not a ghost?
Xinyi was a little relieved, but he heard the man say, "Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you."
"Hmm...!" Her last breath turned into a cold breath, pressed her hand on her lips, and her teeth were almost silent. My heart was so scared that it almost jumped out of my chest! She widened her eyes and subconsciously hid backwards. It was not until the man in front of her stopped breathing, trying to appease her horrible mood.
"I think I probably scared you." She still spoke in a hoarse voice, but her tone was plain.
"Yes, I'm sorry... It's just that this place is suddenly... er."
She nodded slightly, "I know what you mean, so it doesn't matter."
Xinyi stroked a few times in his heart, and then pretended to have the courage to look at the woman in front of him. - It seemed that she was about a few years older than Wei Linger, but she was still young, but her long hair was casually curled into a bun without any decoration. And her face... Her face is full of red and purple lumps, as well as blue spots, large and small, which looks particularly terrible in such a scene. But the only pair of eyes are as indifferent as water and calm.
This girl...is she or she have any strange diseases? Why and why are you hiding in such a place? Thinking that she should be a member of Mu Mansion, then since she is a member of Mu Mansion, Mu Fangjin has no reason to ignore her, so since there is still a big brother... Why can't you take her to the doctor?
The woman just picked up the box that Xinyi had just dropped, opened it and took out a handful of incense, burned it respectfully, inserted it in the incense burner, and worshipped it devoutly. After finishing all this, she turned around, picked up two futons, and handed one to Xinyi. There were also such marks on the back of her hands, as if the marks were not only on her face now, but all over her body. And she looked at Xinyi and said lightly, "It's cold on the ground. Don't sit down and get sick."
"Uh...thank you very much." Xinyi obediently responded to her beauty, so she took it and sat on top, while she sat face to face with Xinyi in a kneeling posture.
"I think you should have a lot to ask me." She said, "For example, what is this place, such as why Linger pushed you here, such as... who am I?"
Xinyi nodded: "Yes, this is what I want to ask you. I think you should tell me all the questions. After all, since Master Wei pushed me here, isn't he just to hear this?"
She exhaled softly: "This is not the case for cause and effect. If I told you all these allusions, you should know that Linger pushed you here, but not only deliberately locked you up here for the previous unhappiness of Yuyao, which scared you. Her tone was very calm: "Your name is Xinyi, right?"
"Yes."
"I was picked up by the prince a few days ago?"
"Hmm."
"What do you know about the prince?"
The woman did not answer Xinyi's question first, but kept asking her. Xinyi squeezed her lips and lowered her eyes and thought, "It seems that there is nothing." She hesitated and replied, "It's just that he is now an official in the court, and then there is a master..."
"Do you know why he wants to go with his master?" The woman calmly said, "Do you know that when the master was still there, he was the third-class household secretary, and the eldest daughter of the Mu family married the Third Highness as his wife. How noble the Mu family was in those years? Why did the master agree to the prince to abandon Ronghua and follow the 'Master'?"
The Ministry of Household?
Today's household secretary is Cheng Shangshu, Cheng Wandong's father. The previous household secretary turned out to be Mu Fangjin's father? Wait... She seems to... as if she has seen the official name of the Ministry of Household!
The Ministry of Household... Hold the end?
"Mu Zhiduan!?"
The woman's face changed: "You can't say the master's name casually."
Really... Is that letter really written by Mu Fangjin's father? But why is it with the master? Is there any connection between Uncle Chongxuan and Mu Zhiduan?
Seeing that the woman did not investigate where the name was known, Xinyi did not say much, but lowered his head and nodded slightly: "Yes, I'm sorry, the small one is not intentional." She looked up and looked at the woman with an unbearable face in front of her. After hesitating for a while, she put on the relationship and said carefully, "These are all good. I just care very much. Why is my sister alone in such a place? Who are you... I'm afraid it's not the ancestors of the Mu family, are you?
"Natural." She looked back at the spiritual plaque and muttered, "As they, they can't enter the temple after death, so they can only put the spiritual throne here for worship." With that, she lowered her eyes and said slowly, "As for me... my name is Wen Xing." She turned her head and stared at Xinyi and said clearly, "That is... what they usually call - Master Wen."
...Master Wen.
Is it...she...is she also one of Mu Fangjin's concubines!?
...Mu Fangjin, your taste is really not light.
This is a sentence left in Xinyi's mind.
Original Yuyao's and Wei Ling'er's are all popular aesthetics, but this in front of them...
Xinyi hurried to the ground with a fierce tiger and knelt down and said, "Little, ask Master Wen's An!"
"Get up, what do you always kneel down and do me, and there is no one else." Her voice was soft and soothing, without a trace of waves, without any joy or anger. It seems that you were more kind when you just called my sister.
She got up and smiled timidly: "I'm afraid it's not good. After all, you are the master, and the little one is just a subordinate." Xinyi lowered his eyes and hesitated, "But Lord Wen, why are you here alone? Why is there not even a servant around?
"They are afraid to come in. I also think it's best to stay here alone." She looked back at the mountain-like spiritual card and said lightly, "Isn't Linger just to scare you and push you into this place?"
