204 Madam, the master is back!
Mu Xiran slowly turned her head and looked at the original family. "The day before yesterday, I ordered Nanxiao to put a few orchids in the bedroom of the main courtyard. The orchids smelled fragrant, but most people knew that orchids could not be placed in the dormitory. Because once people smell the fragrance of orchids, they will cause so much excitement that people can't sleep.
"What the princess said. Many people know that since the eldest brother destroyed the roses in the house, my mother has had to transplant many orchids. However, during those days, my mother always couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. She often woke up for no reason and found a good doctor to know that the orchids could not be placed in the dormitory. Su's words affirmed Mu Xi'an's statement.
Leng Shi stared at the Yuan family next to him, "I remember when I first came in, my sister said that I couldn't sleep these two days."
Yuan's drooping face suddenly changed, but in an instant, she raised her confused eyes, "What does this mean? Can't I sleep these days? Did I do the haunted thing?
"You did the haunted thing." Mu Xiran interrupted Yuan's words coldly.
"Mother..." Yuan immediately looked at the eldest lady aggrievedly, hoping that the eldest lady could say a few words for herself.
It's just that the old lady's face became more and more worried, and her tone was rarely angry, "Mr. Yuan, tell me the truth, did you do this?"
Yuan was so scared that she stood up and knelt straight to the center of the hall, "Mother, she is really not a daughter-in-law. Why did my daughter-in-law pretend to be a ghost and go to the palace to make trouble... The princess really wronged me... I don't know anything."
"Then can you explain the reason for pushing Qin Hong to his concubine these nights?" Seeing that Yuan refused to let go, the first lady continued to question.
Mr. Yuan sobbed twice, and obviously had already figured out his words, "I have been married to the house for so many years and have no children. Of course, I feel uncomfortable and feel ashamed of my mother's teaching. So I asked the prince to go to the concubine's room, hoping that the concubine could conceive the child as soon as possible... Is it wrong for me to do this?!"
However, after hearing Yuan's reason, the eldest lady's face was moved, "The child depends on fate. Besides, after all, the child born by the concubine is a concubine, which is better than the legitimate son."
The original family found all kinds of reasons, as early as Mu Xi's expectation. Therefore, Mu Xian made enough evidence.
However, before Mu Xi ran to speak again, Yuan said first, "Mother, it's okay for the princess to suspect me. But... the second brother-in-law and the third brother-in-law said that it was my own. Is it possible for me to do something that made the second brother-in-law and the third brother-in-law dissatisfied?!"
"I'm afraid someone bought Leng and Su?" The second lady rolled up the corners of her mouth with a deep smile, "It seems that this Qin family has not been very peaceful since Mu got married. Sister-in-law, am I right?
The eldest lady hesitated how to open her mouth.
Mu Xilan's expression suddenly returned to condensing, and his cold eyes glanced at Yuan Shi, who was kneeling below. "Don't think you can easily ignore this matter by looking for an excuse. Since Yuan won't admit it, I have to show evidence. He turned his head and handed a look to Nanxiao, and Nanxiao obediently retreated.
At this time, Yuan's hand on his lower abdomen held the handkerchief tightly, and his drooping head could not see any emotion.
Soon, Nan Xiao came in with a woman and bowed to the eldest lady, "Madam, this slave maid used to be with the Yuan family. Since the haunted thing appeared, he appeared in the main courtyard of the royal palace, cleaning the room and yard every day. If the eldest lady doesn't believe it, she can call all the maids in the big house to ask.
Hongmei, standing behind the eldest lady, leaned over and whispered in the eldest lady's ear.
Seeing this, Yuan's face changed again and said anxiously, "Is this maid obviously crazy?" How can you believe what you said!"
"I'm so born, how can I suddenly go crazy?" The maid said smoothly with indignation, "If it hadn't been for the princess's action, I'm afraid the maidservant would have really gone crazy. Then no one will know what the young lady has done.
"Nonsense! You must have been bought by her to deliberately frame me. Yuan stood up with red eyes and went to beat the maid.
When the old lady saw this, she already had a plan in her heart and scolded, "Mr. Yuan, kneel down!"
The Yuan family has always been afraid of the majesty of the first lady, and now she kneels down regularly, but she still refuses to admit it. "Mother, this maidservant was kicked out by me. She must have framed me in order to revenge on me. I..."
"Aunmother, the prince is no longer there, and Xiran is struggling to support the royal palace. As the host mother of a family, the eldest aunt should give Xian an explanation and give everyone an explanation!" Mu Xiyan's clear eyes swept the original clan on the ground coldly, "I still hope my aunt will deal with it impartially."
It has always been the eldest lady's hard work to establish majesty in front of everyone. Now Mu Xiren's words have forced her to punish the original family. The eldest lady's face is calm and she makes a quick decision in her heart.
At this moment, a sentence sounded outside shocked the people in the hall.
"Madam, the old man is back!" The housekeeper stumbled in, and his face could not hide his excitement. "Madam, the master is back."
"What, the master is back?" The old lady stood up in a hurry to greet the door.
Mu Xilan looked at Qin Yi with some puzzlement. Qin Yi also shook her head, and Mu Xilan had to walk a few steps to the door.
Sure enough, the old man came in a brocade robe with a happy face, and followed a beautiful woman beside him.
"Sir, you finally came back. My concubine thought... I thought you..." The old lady could no longer care about her gaffe, grabbed the old man's arm tightly and looked at the old man all over. "Where is the master hurt? Go in quickly."
Uncle Qin smiled happily, "What are you talking about?" How could I get hurt?"
As soon as Uncle Qin's words fell, Mu Xilan fainted in front of her eyes. Of course, she also saw the woman beside Uncle Qin before she fell into a coma, but she didn't have time to react and fainted.
"Madam!" Nianhua ran over in shock and held Mu Xi'an.
Qin Yi quickly came over, put Mu Xiran on her back and said to Nianhua, "Let's go back to the royal palace first."
Mu Xian only felt that she was in endless darkness and could not get out. Gradually, a trace of light appeared in front of her, and a familiar figure in the light gradually came towards her. Her face faintly stretched out her hand, but the man who came to her suddenly disappeared.
"Qin Yu! Qin Yu..." Mu Xilan suddenly woke up, and his forehead was full of cold sweat.
"Madam, you have a nightmare." Nianhua took a veil to wipe Mu Xi's sweat, and then helped Mu Xi'an sit up.
Mu Xiran was stunned for a long time, and suddenly thought of something. She pushed Nianhua away, turned over and got out of the bed. She ran out with her embroidered shoes. The old man must have known something when she came back safe and sound. She couldn't wait for a moment.
Nianhua hurriedly followed and took the fox Qiu put aside, "Madam, madam..."
Qin Yi was walking to the second floor. When she saw Mu Xilan running out barefoot, she immediately grabbed her, "Xilan, calm down."
"How can I calm down? Uncle came back safely and didn't know anything about the avalanche... Qin Yu has gone for nine days and there is no message. How can I calm down!" Mu Xilan waited for Qin Yi hysterically, as if to vent all the fear in her heart, but the more so, the more afraid she became.
"My subordinates have just returned from the West Courtyard. The uncle said that he had been stuck on the northwest border because he had not negotiated the price with the other party. It was not until three days ago that the two sides took a step back before the uncle returned. He didn't know anything about the avalanche that Mr. Qin said. Qin Yi told the facts asked from the uncle.
Mu Xilan heard the words and took a deep breath, "What about the shopkeeper Qin? Didn't the shopkeeper Qin follow?"
"The old man said that the shop in the capital still needed to be guarded by the shopkeeper Qin, so he asked him to come back first. In this way, this matter has been a trap from beginning to end, and the purpose is to attract the prince away. Qin Yi also gritted her teeth and suppressed her emotions.
"What should I do now... What should I do? Qin Yi, think of a way quickly." Mu Xiran only felt that the sense of powerlessness in her heart became heavier and heavier. She leaned against the wall and looked a little flustered.
At this time, a man came over, squatted down and hugged Mu Xilan's shoulder and comforted him, "Xilan, it's cold outside. Let's go back to the house first and figure it out, okay?"
Hearing this sound, Mu Xiran looked up, looked at the man in front of him, and muttered, "Brother..."
"It's me, I'm back." The originally fair-skinned and beautiful man is now tough and a little tough. Mu Qianrui carefully picked up Mu Xiran, walked into the room, put her in **, and touched her hair. "Your Majesty will be fine. You have to be strong and wait for him to come back."
Mu Xi's nose was sore, and the grievances that had accumulated in her heart for days swept over like an instant flood. She leaned against Mu Qianrui's arms and cried.
Mu Qianrui had to hold her thin shoulder tightly and gently patted her on the back with his broad palm, and some self-blame gushed out in his heart.
When Mu Xilan cried enough and was tired of crying, Mu Qianrui raised her head and looked at her tearful face with a smile. "Look at you, you've become a kitten. Wipe your face quickly."
Nanxiao, standing aside, secretly wiped his tears and handed over the hot handkerchief.
Mu Xiran took over and wiped it randomly. His eyes were red, and even his voice was a little confused. "Brother, Qin Yu has been gone for nine days without any news. Someone must want to harm him, right?"
"There are many people in this capital who want to get rid of Qin Yu, but it is really difficult to find out who did it. However, it is certain that there must be an internal response in this Qin mansion. I think we should start from the Qin mansion. Mu Qianrui analyzed it carefully.
