108 It turns out that the second lady and the original family are just chess pieces

Wanfei was not interested in his family affairs, but just snorted, "Who let your eldest brother take advantage of his own sister? There is nothing wrong with being slapped by my sister.

In the next few days, the concubines in the palace went to the nobles of Yue to congratulate them. The queen also sent Mu Xi to bring something. Yue Guiren and Su Chang were arranged in Deyang Palace, and the two lived between the east and the west.

Mu Xiyan walked into the east room with his skirt, and Yue Guiren was sitting on the foot drinking medicine. Mu Xian did not like the smell of medicine in her previous life. In addition, the soup was continuous every day before she died. Every time she smelled the smell of medicine, she felt extremely uncomfortable. Now she has to cover her nose with a veil.

The nobleman Yue was still so cold that he asked the maid to sit down, "Thank you very much that day."

Mu Xiran's lips inadvertently showed self-deprecating, "No matter how, Yue Guiren are Xiran's cousins and relatives. Naturally, Xiran can't help." After saying a few words, he turned his smile and said, "How's Yue Guiren's body recently?"

"I can barely take the medicine." Yue Guiren didn't seem to end the problem just now. He picked up the veil and wiped his mouth, and said directly, "I heard that the lady and Wanfei have some grudges. Thinking about the matter of that day, Wanfei is really schemanious.

Speaking of this, Mu Xian also understood that Yue Guiren knew Wanfei's intention to do so.

"I didn't mean to blame the female official. It's just that I have always disliked concubines. After knowing that Wanfei likes her eldest brother, I hate Wanfei even more. Now, I just want to remind the female official that Wanfei can always be favored in the palace, which is not as simple as you think. After saying that, Yue Guiren glanced at Mu Xilan.

Mu Xian covered her mouth and smiled, "I don't know what Yue Guiren knows?"

Yue Guiren coughed softly, and his voice became softer and softer, "I know it's not that others don't know, but when Su's parents grew up, he heard more." Pulling a thin blanket to cover her leg, she continued, "The relationship between the four major families in the capital is superficially complicated, but in fact, it is the simplest. They are all connected to their respective interests. Take Wanfei as an example, there is not only the Chu family behind it, but also the original family. Although the second lady of the Mu family doesn't like concubines and Wanfei, she is a woman after all. The original family decided to be the original Taifu and the noble concubine in the palace.

After listening to the last sentence, Mu Xiran suddenly realized, "It turns out that the second lady and the original family are just chess pieces."

"There is nothing wrong with this, because the second lady Yuan Xialian is not Yuan Taifu's own daughter at all, but brought from the side, and naturally there is a little less trust between blood." Speaking of this, Yue Guiren stopped mentioning it, but just smiled faintly, "You have to understand the relationship between the four families to gain a foothold in the palace."

Seeing Su Heyue so frankly, Mu Xian was very happy and blinked at Su Heyue, "Don't Yue nobles hate me?" He tilted his head again and said, "I heard from Mrs. Chu that the Su family doesn't like me very much."

Su Heyue lowered her eyes and covered the pain in her eyes. "I'm not that kind of unreasonable person. It's not your fault that the second prince likes you. Why should I make myself uncomfortable? What's more, how can I avenge you if you really help me? Then the corners of her lips sank, "Mother is too paranoid after all..."

"Fortunately, you are not my enemy." Mu Xian couldn't help laughing.

"You and I have different purposes, of course we will not become hostile..." Su Heyue suddenly stopped halfway and heard the footsteps getting closer and closer outside, and Su Heyue returned to her arrogant look.

Su Chang moved the lotus step gently and came in with his chin half up. When he saw Mu Xian's words to his mouth, he swallowed it again and moved his red lips or said, "Sister, Grandpa Cheng just came to pass on the emperor's will. The sixth day of July is the emperor's 50th birthday. The emperor is going to do a big deal this year. Let's all prepare well."

"Yes, but my sister is not prepared for anything." Su Heyue touched her flat stomach.

Su Chang is about to open his mouth again. Seeing that Mu Xijian had no intention of leaving, he turned his head and said, "Is it possible for me to say a few words with my sister? Do the female officer want to hear it?"

Mu Xiran's expression did not move. He got up and nod to Yue Guiren, and silently left the room.

Walking out of the Deyang Palace, Nianhua couldn't help complaining, "Su Changzai is still so arrogant. At least the lady is also a four-grade female official. Why did she dare to speak coldly and come out?"

"Nianhua, you don't have to care about this kind of person. Aren't you angry with yourself for no reason?" As long as Su and Zi can stop dealing with her, she will thank God. Mu Xiran saw the figure passing by not far away, and she suddenly turned around and asked Nianhua, "Where do you think Nian Han might hide?"

Nianhua stopped, looked at Mu Xirankan, and shook his head. "Miss doesn't remember that Nianfu and Nianhan came together. The maidservant was sent from the queen, but Nianfu... has gone. But I remember that Nianfu had a little sister at the beginning, so I could ask her.

When it comes to Nianfu, Mu Xi's heart is also very heavy, "Then go and find out."

Nianhua answered crisply, "Yes, miss."

"However, be careful not to get into trouble." Seeing that Nianhua nodded, Mu Xijian waved her to let her go, and she went back to Kunning Palace.

At night, Mu Xiyan slept with the queen and returned to the room. Nianhua had come back. Mu Xian rubbed her forehead and sat down tiredly. Nianhua saw her coming to help her pinch her shoulder.

"Miss, the maid of honor is Qiu Ju, and she is a maid in the Defei Palace. And she had a good relationship with Nianfu. When the maid mentioned it a little, she mentioned what happened when she just entered the palace. Sure enough, the maid heard something about Nian Han.

Mu Xiran's eyes lit up, "Tell me about it."

"Before entering Zhaohua Palace, Qiu Ju and Nianfu found that Nian Han occasionally had contact with Nu Jiao of the raccoon bureau. It took them a long time to know that Nu Jiao and Nian Han were fellow sisters." Nianhua said slowly, and then fell into meditation. Just for a moment, something flashed in Nianhua's mind, and then pinched Mu Xi's hand and stopped.

"Miss! I remember that before the princess died, Nian Han had seen a maid of honor, and now I think about it... That maid of honor is a slave. Miss, the princess's death has nothing to do with the maid of honor, does it?

Nu Jiao, Mu Xian remembers seeing this maid when she went to the raccoon bureau last time. She looked white and quiet. At that time, she was surprised how such a beautiful girl could stay in the raccoon bureau.

Mu Xiyan's hand holding the armrest was also tight, and his eyes were cold, "Are you sure that woman is a slave?"

"I'm not sure, but I can go to the raccoon bureau in person, so that I can definitely recognize it." Nianhua's eyes lit up, and even his tone was a little happy.

Such news is really unexpected. If that woman is really a slave, things will be easier to do.

Mu Xian was also excited for a moment, "Mianhua, now let's go to the raccoon bureau to meet this slave. However, you can't startle the snake. Just say that Nianhan disappeared in Sufu at the beginning. You are very worried and want to find Nianhan.

"Are you going now? It's late at night." Nianhua took a look outside.

"It's a quiet night, and it's a good time to do things." Mu Xian couldn't wait to pull Nianhua out of the house and went all the way out of Kunning Palace in the direction of the raccoon bureau.

On the way to the raccoon bureau, few maids of honor passed by, but there were some passing guards. Especially when it was about to arrive at the raccoon bureau, the corridor there looked a little gloomy and terrible. Fortunately, some weak candlelight lit up so that Mu Xilan would not retreat.

Miss, here we are. It's really quiet here. Nianhua's voice trembled slightly.

Mu Xiyan gently pushed open the red door of vicissitudes and leaned into her head. Seeing that a row of rooms were still lit with candles, she was relieved, "Fortunately, they haven't slept yet. Let's go to the stewor first."

So, the two knocked on the door of Mother Fang's house, only heard a few sounds inside, and then there were footsteps.

Mu Xiran is now a favored female official around the queen. As an old man in the palace, Mother Fang naturally knows how to cater to obedience.

M Mother Fang's messy hair obviously just fell asleep, but her face did not show displeasure, but let Mu Xiran in. "What must be the matter with the female official coming here at night?"

Mu Xian nodded and did not sit down. "It's not a big deal. I just want to see Nujiao."

"This is easy to do. Let's follow the old slave." Mother Fang simply sorted out her hair and regained her majestic look. She walked to the door of the second room, turned around and said, "The lady is waiting outside. The old slave came in and called."

Mu Xi looked at the environment of the yard of the raccoon bureau while taking advantage of the moonlight. It is said that the raccoon bureau is the most bitter place in the palace. If this slave is really a person from Wanfei or Chuluo, it can't be underestimated.

Just after a while, Mother Fang took Nu Jiao out of the room and said with a smile on her face, "After a while, you don't have to talk to the old slave, just leave by yourself." After saying that, he went back to his room.

Nu Jiao always half lowered her head and twisted her handkerchief with her hands, looking cowardly.

Mu Xiran's mind quickly turned around, with a friendly smile on her face, "No Jiao, you also know that the three maids who were maids beside Princess Zhaohua, Nianhua, Nianfu and Nianhan. Now Nianfu has passed away, leaving only Nianhua, but Nianhan doesn't know where to go." Saying this, Nu Jiao raised her face and looked at her blankly.

Mu Xilan turned his head and looked at Nianhua. Nianhua said, "Why are we sisters? Nian Han is missing now. We are very worried. Tonight, I just want to ask if you know if she has any relatives, or where do you think she will go?"

After hearing this, Nu Jiao slowly shook her head and looked at Mu Xiyan, "The maidservant and Nian Han are from the same hometown, but the relatives of the maidservants are in their hometown. So... I really don't know where Nian Han will go back."
