Mu Xiaoxiao came out of Mrs. Gu's room with a food box in her hand, and was about to walk back when she was slightly stunned when she saw three people walking in from behind.
"Qiao'er, is that person in front Gu Qingchen?" Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head and asked the maid holding the lamp next to her.
Hearing Mu Xiaoxiao's words, Qiao'er blinked and said, "Miss, it's too dark today, so I didn't see clearly, but I do look a lot like Mr. Gu."
"Go over and have a look." Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, then stepped forward.
Qiao'er, who was holding a glazed lamp, heard Mu Xiaoxiao's words. He glanced at the night and the shadows of pines, bamboos and cypresses around him, and hurriedly said: "Miss, it's so late, why don't we... let's go back? It's too uncomfortable." It’s safe.”
Hearing Qiao'er's words, Mu Xiaoxiao turned around and glanced at her, then walked forward and said, "This is Mu Mansion. If there is anything unsafe, if you don't want to follow, then just leave."
"I don't dare." Qiaoer lowered his head and said after hearing Mu Xiaoxiao's soft voice with a hint of coldness.
Mu Xiaoxiao ignored Qiao'er, carrying the food box and walked towards the yard where Gu Qingchen was lighting the lamp. She saw the two figures reflected in the window.
"Why are there two people? Who did Gu Qingchen bring?" Mu Xiaoxiao frowned, feeling a little confused.
While she was thinking, she heard Gu Qingchen say: "There is hot water behind the screen. I will leave Jiuwei to you. I will go out first."
Hearing the sound at the door, Mu Xiaoxiao hurriedly hid behind her, leaning against the wall, watching Gu Qingchen leave the room wearing black clothes.
"Miss, shall we leave now?" Qiaoer asked softly.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. She just couldn't control her curiosity and came over to see. Since it was Gu Qingchen who brought her, what else could she see
"Let's go." Mu Xiaoxiao said and walked outside.
At this time, Qi Lexuan inside suddenly shouted: "Oh~"
When Mu Xiaoxiao heard the sound, she turned her head and looked at the window. Because it was almost summer, the window was open and she could see what was going on inside.
Qi Lexuan must have accidentally knocked down the copper basin, causing water to splash everywhere before she screamed. She was still holding a handkerchief in her hand, and she was probably wiping the blood of Ning Jiuwei who was lying on the bed.
But for Mu Xiaoxiao, these are not the end of attention. The point is that above Ning Jiuwei's arm hanging on the bed, there is a fiery red begonia flower-shaped birthmark, which is in full swing.
Seeing this birthmark, Mu Xiaoxiao's head felt like it was buzzing, as if a string had broken, and her whole body felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar. Was she just dazzled
Yes, she must have been dazzled, otherwise how could she see that fiery begonia flower birthmark again after nine years.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at the birthmark on Ning Jiuwei's arm, shaking her head and stepping back, her eyes full of shock and fear.
'bang'
There was a loud noise. It turned out that when Mu Xiaoxiao was walking backwards, she tripped over a flowerpot nearby, and she herself fell to the ground accidentally.
"Miss, are you okay?" Qiaoer hurriedly helped Mu Xiaoxiao up and asked in a concerned voice.
Mu Xiaoxiao took Qiao'er's hand and stood up reluctantly. At this time, her whole body was trembling a little. Her lotus-colored dress was dirty and messy, and her face was completely ruined. She was as embarrassed as she wanted to be. She was completely She is different from the usually considerate eldest lady.
"It's okay, I'm okay, let's go, hurry up..." Mu Xiaoxiao kept shaking her head, looking back and staggering forward.
Qi Lexuan, who was standing in the room, watched this scene. Although she was confused, she was more amused. She looked at Mu Xiaoxiao's back and joked: "Hey, whose little thief is this outside?" Huh? You’ve stolen all the things you’ve stolen and come to Mu’s Mansion, don’t you want to live anymore?”
Hearing Qi Lexuan's words, Mu Xiaoxiao's feet slipped even more, but she was not in the mood to argue with Qi Lexuan at this time. Now her heart was simply cold, or she was extremely scared. She was afraid that what happened nine years ago would be discovered. .
She originally thought that it had been nine years and everything had been settled. Even if she was looking for her, she had already been looking for her for nine years. What should have appeared has long since appeared. But just nine years later, the person she feared the most was the one she feared the most. The person she was afraid of really appeared in front of her. Mu Xiaoxiao's hands and feet were cold at this moment. What should she do, what should she do...
After returning to the room, Mu Xiaoxiao could no longer support her body and slipped directly to the floor. Tears kept rolling down her almond-shaped eyes, as if she was very frightened.
"Miss, what's wrong with you? How about... How about I call a doctor? Miss, don't scare me?" Qiaoer looked at the lost Mu Xiaoxiao and turned pale with fear.
Lu Yu, who was walking in with a water basin, walked in and saw Mu Xiaoxiao like this. She put down the copper basin and said, "Miss? Qiao'er, didn't Miss go to deliver supper to Madam? Why did she come back like this?" What's going on? Are you talking?"
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Qiao'er's tears kept falling and she said, "I didn't know that the young lady became like this when she came out of Master Gu's yard."
"Why did the young lady go to Master Gu's yard when she was so good? Can you explain it clearly?" Lu Yu said anxiously while supporting Mu Xiaoxiao.
However, Qiaoer was clumsy and could not explain clearly for a while. Moreover, Qiaoer herself felt that the young lady seemed to have been contaminated by something in the yard, which made her suddenly lose her mind. She was extremely scared.
"Get out." Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly said.
Green Yu, who was holding her, was slightly stunned, looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and said, "Miss..., Miss, are you okay?"
"I told you to get out, both of you." Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes were cold, even calmer than usual.
This appearance made Lu Yu and Qiao'er look at each other, completely confused as to what was wrong with their young lady. However, looking at Mu Xiaoxiao's attitude, it was hard for them to disobey her.
"Miss, my slave and Qiao'er are guarding outside. If you need anything, just call my slave." Before closing the door, Lu Yu said again.
When Mu Xiaoxiao heard Lu Yu's words, she still didn't speak. She just stood up, dusted herself off, walked to the dressing table with great gestures, and carefully combed her hair.
But anyone who is attentive will notice that the gilt cloud pattern comb in Mu Xiaoxiao's hand is trembling slightly at this time, and her slender fingers are also showing different whiteness.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Mu Xiaoxiao tried her best to calm down. Even if she came back, she would still be a vulgar and rude country girl, while she was the lady of the Mu family who was born in a famous family and had all kinds of manners.
Mu Xiaoxiao's hand holding the comb tightened, and her eyes revealed an unprecedented cruelty. Ning Jiuwei, I will never let you have another chance to return to Mu Mansion. This is the first time that what happened nine years ago can happen. There must be a second time, but this time, I want you to leave by yourself.
