Chapter 5 Night Visitor
Because of Mu Yizhi's return, the evening atmosphere has always been good. Aunt Wang stood behind Mu Yizhi and Qin Yue and made beautiful dishes for them! Although Yuhan country emphasizes etiquette and strictly divides the superiority and inferiority of the direct concubine, she does not have to do this work with the merits of giving birth to the eldest son, but she has always insisted, but this makes Mu Yizhi and Qin Yue more satisfied with her.
At this time, a little maid accidentally touched Mu Shiling when she was served the food. Mu Shiling shook her hand, and the Su Wanzi that had just been clamped fell on her skirt, leaving a long oil stain on the tender yellow skirt. How could she stand it? She slapped her back. The little maid panicked and fell down at once. On the ground, the dishes were scattered on the ground: "Dead girl, what are you doing! Something that doesn't have eyes!"
The little girl Juhong quickly got up and knelt on the ground: "Miss, forgive me, miss 2, forgive me, I didn't mean to!"
Aunt Wang quickly came over and grabbed Mu Shiling to check: "Are you okay? Why are you so careless? You are hurt!" The hand holding Mu Shiling tightly motioned to her. In front of Mu Yizhi, it was not when she lost her temper. Her behavior was already rude!
Mu Shiling suddenly understood, restrained the anger on her face, and said aggrievedly, "Auntie, why did you touch me when you look at the girl and hold the dishes well? This is the skirt I specially wore today to welcome my father. I didn't mean to make a fool of myself!" After saying that, she deliberately stamped her feet, and her naive little daughter showed a full posture!
Hearing this, Mu Yizhi's original frown loosened a little. Mu Qingya put down the bowl and chopsticks: "Second sister, since you have also beaten that girl, don't worry about it. You'd better go back to your room and change your clothes. After a while, your sister tells someone to send food to your room, but don't be angry because of a girl! Father will also be worried!"
Mu Shiling wanted to refute, but he couldn't stand wearing a dirty dress. He could only stare at Mu Qingya angrily and quickly walked out of the flower hall.
"Go back!"
Hearing Qingya's words, Ju Hong quickly cleaned up the dishes spilled on the ground and retreated respectfully. Her heart was full of gratitude to her. She knew that no one was innocent. Although the second lady offended her, she had never had good fruit to eat. Her sister Bi Tao was because she didn't clean up. Carefully smashed a box of her rouge, was directly beaten and sold to a gambler, and died in a few days.
Because of Mu Shiling's incident, the atmosphere was a little dull. After simply eating something, Mu Qingya took the maid back to the room.
The sky has completely darkened. Looking at the light reflected by the lantern, Mu Qingya's mind turned around. Looking at Qin Yue's expression, she still didn't know whether Mu Yizhi would tell her the context of the matter or not. How can she find out the truth? If she doesn't understand this matter, how can she find a way to help the Mu family overcome the difficulties in front of her? Thinking that she had come to the door of the room, as soon as she opened the door, her pupils shrank slightly and walked into the room without stopping: "I just saw the orchid at the door blooming just right. You moved in for me and put it on the small table over there, so you don't have to wait here!"
"Yes!" The maids bowed and moved the orchids in neatly. They were curious. The third lady always hated flowers and plants. Why did she suddenly remember to enjoy the orchids? However, what the master wants to do is not what their servants can control. After packing up, they quickly left the room!
There is a chessboard on the small table by the window. The black and white chess pieces are quietly placed in the box. Now there is an orchid next to it, which is more elegant. Qingya sat over and picked up a few black pieces to play. The stone pieces collided with each other and made a crisp sound. She casually placed the pieces on the chessboard, and the sound of the pieces falling on the chessboard in the silent night was particularly loud.
"I'm the only one left in the room. Why don't the little man hiding in the dark come out quickly?" Mu Qingya's voice fell, and the room was silent. She was not in a hurry and continued to play with chess pieces.
I don't know how long it took, and a low voice sounded:
"Miss, are you really calm?"
Mu Qingya raised the corners of her mouth: "You are so calm when you are found to explore other people's residences at night. What's wrong with me to panic!" With that, another son fell on the chessboard.
"Ha ha, I thought that all the women in Jiangnan were as gentle as water, but I didn't expect to see a cold as ice today!" With a low voice, a man in navy blue came out!
Mu Qingya frowned, and the man dared to come out and quickly changed the direction of the candlelight!
"Oh, it's really rude. It's not as thoughtful as Miss Mu! I don't know how Miss Mu found me in the room?
Originally, the candlelight was placed on the left side of the bed, and the shadow was just projected on the window after the man came out. If people see that the news of the wild man hidden in the third lady's boudoir of the Mu family will spread all over Linjiang City tomorrow!
Duanmu Lingyu looked at the extremely quiet woman holding chess pieces under the light. Her eyebrows are longer than ordinary Jiangnan women, and her eyes without any waves seem to be clear but dark and deep. Even he can hardly see any emotion in those eyes! This had to surprise him! Is this really the eyes that a boudoir woman should have? Those eyes seem to be able to see through your appearance and see your heart straight! He has seen many women go up to queens and princesses, and down to women in the market. No one has ever given him this feeling!
Mu Qingya looked at the originator, and the faint smile at the corners of his mouth has never changed. In fact, from the moment she opened the door, she knew that there must be someone in the room, and the feeling of being spied on her was extremely**! I'm afraid this is the unique ability of women who crawl and roll in the deep palace!
"How do I find you important? Since you dare to explore the family's residence of Sanpin, you should be ready to go back. It has nothing to do with knowing or not knowing!"
"Ha ha!" Duanmu Lingyu smiled and was ready to go back? This is the first time that someone dares to talk to him like this, and he is also a weak-looking 12-year-old woman! It seems that this trip is really worth it. "I don't know if Miss Mu still likes to talk wildly?"
Mu Qingya's eyelashes trembled and put down the chess pieces casually. Then he slowly raised his head to look at the person in front of him. His black scarf was masked, the heavenly court was full, the sword eyebrows and star eyes, and the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, with a trace of charming curvature. The straight nose bridge was faintly visible under the black scarf. Although he could not see the whole picture, he only saw it. It can also be judged that he must be a beautiful man.
staring at the eyes overflowing with cold stars, Mu Qingya smiled and said, "Didn't you find anything?"
Duanmu Lingyu was slightly stunned, and his eyes were full of smiles, and his life was really amazing, but what did he find? He is... wrong! A burst of dizziness came from his brain, which made his eyes change, and his sharp eyes shot directly at Mu Qingya like a sharp sword: "What did you do?"
What did you do? Didn't I do anything? It's just to protect your innocence. Why are you so panicked?
"Hmm," Duanmu Lingyu's eyes were dark, and he stepped forward two steps to pinch Mu Qingya's neck, "For his innocence? Ha ha, what can you do for your life now? With that, his fingers slowly tightened and looked at the beautiful face blushing slightly under his hand. Mu Qingya's smile remained unchanged, as if the person who was strangled her breath was not her.
Duanmu Lingyu was surprised. He didn't expect that only an underachi woman would have such courage! Suddenly, a trace of the idea of not killing her rose in his mind. He wanted to see how much she would grow up to give this woman time! But before he let go, he felt a pain in his arm and suddenly recovered. Then he found that a white jade hairpin was inserted on his forearm!
"What a cruel little girl, how dare you do this to me!" Duanmu Lingyu laughed, but he didn't expect to be scratched by a cat's paw today. "Little girl, you have to live well. I'll go first..." After saying that, he opened the window and disappeared a few times!
"Cough..." Mu Qingya coughed, her throat tingling, and she sat weakly on the chair and gasped. Just now she clearly saw the murderous intention in the man's eyes, but she didn't expect him to change his mind later!
Gently touched the orchids on the table. Several leaves of the orchid have been blackened by candlelight, emitting a faint fragrance. This is also what she inadvertently knew. Hanlan will emit a delicate fragrance in the process of being roasted by fire, which can make people trance and weak in a short time. She has always liked orchids. When she went out in the evening, she found a few pots of cold orchids at the door and wanted to move them back to her room to take good care of them at night. Unexpectedly, these pots of orchids helped her a lot! After discovering that there was someone in the room, she thought of this method, but she was somewhat uneasy. The strength of those who could avoid the guards and servants hiding in her room was certainly not low. She didn't know if Hanlan could play a role. Fortunately, that person did not necessarily kill her!
It seems that Mu Yizhi really knew something amazing when she went out this time. She was chased to her home. She had to find a way to understand it so as not to be caught off guard by the matter!
In an inconspicuous courtyard in Linjiang City, Wei Xi helped his master bandage the wound with a strange look. If he is correct, the master is holding a girl's white jade hairpin in his hand! Didn't the master go to Mu's house to get the evidence? How could that white jade hairpin be? Did the master break into the girl's boudoir? Instead, I heard that the Mu family has two famous concubines or rare twins. Is it possible that the master is moved? Curiously like a cat scratch, he asked carefully, "Master, why are you hurt? What kind of person is so bold to hurt his master?"
Duanmu Lingyu glanced at him and continued to play with the white jade hairpin in his hand. Just when Wei Xi thought he would not answer, he heard him laugh twice:
"Injured? It was not scratched by a cat with sharp claws..."
Wei Xi:......
