Chapter 76: guilt

Views:

Mrs. Gu was lying on the bed, covering her mouth and coughing non-stop, with tears in the corners of her eyes. Mu Xiaoxiao was sitting aside, holding a medicine bowl, ready to give medicine to Mrs. Gu.

"Auntie, don't be too sad. Although you gave Miss Ning a sword, she is your daughter after all, so you won't take it to heart." Mu Xiaoxiao comforted her softly.

Mrs. Gu, who was still crying, heard Mu Xiaoxiao's words, and her tears spread uncontrollably. She shook her head and said, "She will not forgive me, and I can't forgive myself. That sword took away half of her body." Life, half life..."

Hearing Mrs. Gu's words, Mu Xiaoxiao gave her the medicine with a smile on her lips. Even so, it would be better to give up the other half of her life, so that no one knows what happened that day.

"Mom, the doctor is here. Let the doctor take a look." Mu Yunxiao opened the curtain and walked in and said.

The imperial doctor who followed behind him knelt on the ground and bowed, then picked up the medicine box and performed a pulse diagnosis on Mrs. Gu, his face becoming more and more serious.

"Doctor, how is my mother's illness?" Mu Yunxiao asked.

The imperial doctor shook his head and said, "Second Young Master, I'm sorry that I can't do anything. My wife is suffering from worry and has a weak stomach. Unless she can cure her heart disease, it cannot be cured."

Mu Yunxiao had been holding on to the sleeve of the imperial doctor, but now after hearing what he said, he slowly let go of his hand and looked at Mrs. Gu. What kind of problem did his mother have? It was only Ning Jiuwei.

"Xiao'er, come here and sit next to mother. Mother has something to tell you." Mrs. Gu looked at Mu Yunxiao with tears in her eyes and waved her hand.

Mu Yunxiao looked at Mrs. Gu's thin face, her eyes were red, and she said softly: "Mom, I went to find Ning Jiuwei. I made amends to her. I went to apologize to her and let her come to see you."

"Don't go, Xiao'er. Listen to mother, whether it's you or mother, our Mu family owes Jiuwei too much. If mother leaves, promise mother, you must take good care of Jiuwei. He is your relative." Sister, please promise me." Mrs. Gu held Mu Yunxiao's hand and said angrily.

Mu Yunxiao shook his head with red eyes and said, "Mom, don't do this. I'll go find her. Nothing will happen to you. You can't abandon me."

"Xiao'er, mother is really dying..." Mrs. Gu said.

"Mother?" Mu Chenfeng stepped in and shouted when he saw Mrs. Gu lying on the bed.

Hearing the voice, Mrs. Gu raised her eyes and looked at Mu Chenfeng, smiled weakly and said, "Chenfeng is here, sit down."

"Mother, I have something to tell you. In fact, back then... Xiaoxiao, please go out first. I have something to tell my mother." Mu Chenfeng was about to speak when he caught sight of Mu Xiaoxiao out of the corner of his eye and suddenly stopped.

Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned by Mu Chenfeng's actions, but suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She had been in Mu's family for more than ten years, but she didn't expect that Mu Chenfeng still didn't trust her.

"Brother, what do you mean? Are you dissatisfied with Xiaoxiao?" Mu Xiaoxiao asked with red eyes.

Mu Xiaoxiao thought that if she asked this question, Mu Chenfeng would soften her heart, and it would be convenient for her to stay and hear what was going on. She had a gut feeling that there was something wrong.

But what she didn't expect was that Mu Chenfeng rejected her outright, and said in a cold voice: "I'm very dissatisfied with you, Mu Xiaoxiao, I'll say it for the last time, you get out immediately."

"You... Aunt, what did I do wrong? Big brother treats me like this, wu wu..." Mu Xiaoxiao burst into tears, and while crying, she looked at Mrs. Gu.

Mu Yunxiao has always been close to Mu Xiaoxiao. When he saw Mu Xiaoxiao acting like this, he hurriedly said, "Brother, what are you doing? Sister Xiaoxiao is not an outsider. Is there anything you can't say?"

At this time, Mrs. Gu also nodded and said, "If you have anything to say, just tell me. I watched Xiaoxiao grow up, so there is nothing to worry about."

"Mu Xiaoxiao, I'll give you another chance. If you really don't leave, don't regret it later." Mu Chenfeng originally thought about the relationship he had had for so many years and wanted to save her some face, but it was a pity that she didn't care about it.

Hearing Mu Chenfeng's serious words, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt uneasy. She pretended to be calm and said, "Brother, what are you saying? Why can't I understand it?"

Mu Chenfeng looked at Mu Xiaoxiao with extremely unfamiliar eyes, and then said, "Do you really not understand, or are you just pretending to be confused?"

"Brother, what happened to you today?" Mu Xiaoxiao blinked and looked at Mu Chenfeng and asked.

"Okay, then I'll let you take a good look at what you did." Mu Chenfeng said, taking out a stack of paper from his arms and slamming it to the ground in front of Mu Xiaoxiao.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the many fluttering and yellow letters, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, she lowered her head and raised her hand to pick up one and read it. This sight made her pale immediately, and she didn't even think about it. Lower your head and pick up another one, then another, then another... .

Mu Xiaoxiao's face was as pale as paper at this time. She was holding a dozen pieces of letter paper in her hand and fell to the ground. She looked at Mu Chenfeng with a pair of beautiful apricot eyes. Her voice could not suppress the trembling and she asked: " Where did you get these things?”

"Do you admit all the things above? Are they all your doing?" Mu Chenfeng looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and asked with a frown.

The two people looked like this, which made Madam Gu and Mu Yunxiao confused. Madam Gu sat on the bed and said softly: "Morning Breeze, what's wrong?"

Hearing Mrs. Gu's words, Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to react, threw away the things in her hands, crawled to the bed on hands and knees, and sobbed: "Auntie, believe me, these things were not done by me, not me... ..”

At this time, Mu Yunxiao walked around Mu Chenfeng, picked up the letter paper on the ground, frowned slightly, and said: "Mu Xiaoxiao spent a thousand taels of gold from Cao Zongtang to buy a bottle of Fireworks Drunk Poison and Antidote." …”

"Drunken by fireworks?" Mu Yunxiao glanced at Mu Xiaoxiao and whispered.

Mu Chenfeng nodded and said, "The last time you were poisoned, it was Xiaoxiao's poison."

Mrs. Gu, who was sitting on the bed, turned pale. She lowered her head and glanced at Mu Xiaoxiao. Her originally loving eyes turned cold at this moment, and she took her hand out of Mu Xiaoxiao's hand.

"Aunt, I didn't. This is all fake, fake..." Mu Xiaoxiao's tears flowed down her cheeks.

Mu Yunxiao picked up another piece of paper and read: "Shen Rongxi spent a thousand taels of silver to redeem the famous prostitute Peony from Wanhua Tower, sashimied Begonia, and entered the palace as a singer. The day before, Shen Rongxi and Mu Xiaoxiao Meet Cuiyun Tower."

After reading this, Mu Yunxiao paused for a moment, picked up the second piece of paper and read: "The maid Ling'er of the Mu Mansion brought a hundred taels of silver notes and bought a dagger from Cui's blacksmith shop in the south of the city, with the Cui family's mark on it. "

"Go, bring me Ling'er, and bring me the dagger, ahem...bring them." Mrs. Gu ordered Chunhong.

Mu Yunxiao's tone was still cold at this time. He never expected that his sister would be so scheming and cruel.

"Ling Nan, you go to Zhenbei Prince's Mansion and invite Miss Shen to come. I would like to ask who did this." Mu Yunxiao turned around and ordered.

"Yun Xiao, don't you believe me too?" Mu Xiaoxiao's voice was very sad.

Mu Yunxiao took a deep breath and said, "If it's not, I will personally apologize to you. If it is, sister Xiaoxiao, you know what I am like."

After saying these words, Mu Yunxiao looked at another piece of paper again, and his eyes were suddenly stunned. There were five pages written on it.
