"In the fifteenth year of Taihe, during the Lantern Festival, Mu Xiaoxiao was nine years old, and she took her sister Mu Yue, who was four years old. When they were parading in the street, they took advantage of others' unpreparedness and handed over all the fifty taels of silver notes and Mu Yue to a beggar. Instruct him to leave the capital and never...appear."
"Mu Xiaoxiao, is this true?" Mu Yunxiao turned his head and asked with surprise in his eyes.
As soon as these words came out, Mu Xiaoxiao finally fell to the ground, looking at Mu Yunxiao with distracted eyes, and her mind seemed to return to the scene nine years ago.
At that time, she was a foster girl in the Mu Mansion. Her parents, General Mu's younger brother, died in battle that year and were buried in horse leather. She was adopted as an orphan.
She went from a rich girl to a dependent girl overnight, and Mrs. Gu had never looked at her in the eyes, only Mu Yue, and Mu Yue was the apple of the eyes of the entire Mu family. Why could she do it, but she couldn't
After this resentment took root, it began to grow continuously and finally became so deep-rooted that Mu Xiaoxiao only hoped that Mu Yue would never appear again.
Finally, on the day of the Lantern Festival, she had an opportunity. Mu Chenfeng and Mu Yunxiao fought with Dong Yanglin and others on Zhuque Street. Except for an old lady who watched them, the other boys tried to break up the fight. The one who tried to stop the fight went back to the government to report it.
Taking advantage of the crowd, she pulled little Mu Yue away from the old grandma and came to the beggar at the foot of the west city wall. She took out the fifty taels of silver notes she had on her, which her mother had left for her.
She knew that the beggar had no money, and she gave the beggar fifty taels with only one request, which was to take Mu Yue away, leave the capital, and never appear again.
Just as she thought, the beggar was very happy. He took the money and Mu Yue and left the place in a hurry. Without thinking, she tore her clothes and leaned against the corner to wipe her tears.
Half an hour later, someone from the Mu family found her, and she followed the lies she had spun and made everyone believe her step by step.
She said that after she separated from her old grandma, she and Mu Yue encountered bad guys. She struggled desperately, but they still robbed her of the banknotes and Mu Yue.
She was still very scared at the time, and her arms would tremble when she lied. Maybe it was because she was young, or maybe it was because the person was not found, but in short, they all believed her.
After Mu Yue disappeared, Mrs. Gu was depressed for a long time. Later, when they found out that Mu Yue could not be found, everyone regarded her as a young lady, and she successfully became the apple of their eye again.
Even now, she doesn't regret it, and she doesn't think she's at fault. Sometimes, isn't this something she has to work hard for
After hearing these words, Mrs. Gu felt a sweet taste in her throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. Mu Chenfeng was the closest, supported Mrs. Gu, and asked: "Mom, are you okay?"
"Mu Xiaoxiao, all my years of love for you have been in vain. You are worse than a beast." Mrs. Gu said, not knowing where she got the strength, she raised her hand and slapped Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao covered her face, looked at Mrs. Gu, and closed her eyes. Everything was over now, but she couldn't figure out how Mu Chenfeng knew so many things.
"There's one more thing you probably don't know yet."
At this time, a voice came from the door. Mu Chenfeng supported Mrs. Gu and looked towards the door. She saw a man in black and a golden mask walking slowly in. His powerful aura was overwhelming. Out of breath.
Mu Yunxiao looked at the man, frowned and asked, "Who are you? Do you know this is Mu Mansion? If you break in like this, I can kill you directly."
Hearing Mu Yunxiao's words, the man curled his lips and said without any fear: "Boy, I don't have enough IQ, but I'm quite courageous."
"..." Mu Yunxiao looked at the man in black coldly and said nothing.
The man in black smiled, threw the thing in his hand to Mu Yunxiao, and said: "This is a hundred thousand taels of silver notes. Your Miss Mu came to my Tianji Pavilion to do business. One hundred thousand taels of silver notes, kill me." Ning Jiuwei."
"What?" Mu Yunxiao hurriedly looked down and saw that it was indeed Mu Xiaoxiao's handwriting.
Mrs. Gu's eyes were like a poisoned sword, as if she wanted to execute Mu Xiaoxiao Lingchi. Unexpectedly, she was already like this, but Mu Xiaoxiao still refused to let Ning Jiuwei go.
"What on earth do you want to do, Mu Xiaoxiao, what on earth do you want to do? We, mother and daughter, will never recognize each other in this life. If you are not satisfied yet, why do you want to kill you? I will kill you, I will kill you..." Gu As the lady spoke, she pinched Mu Xiaoxiao's neck with both hands.
Mu Xiaoxiao's face turned red when Mrs. Gu pinched her. She stared angrily at the man in black, and then said: "I just want her to die. It's been nine years. Why...why does she still show up? I can't let her ruin it." Everything I worked so hard for..."
"Ah, Mu Xiaoxiao, go to hell, give me back my Yue'er, give me back my Yue'er..." Mrs. Gu pinched Mu Xiaoxiao in pain and cried out.
Mu Chenfeng looked at Mrs. Gu and was worried that something had happened to her. He quickly pulled the two people away and said, "Mother, please don't get excited yet."
"Ahem... Who are you and why did you do this?" Mu Xiaoxiao stared at the man in black and asked.
The man in black smiled and said, "Since you are looking for me to do business, how come you don't know me, Miss Mu?"
"Are you the master of Tianji Pavilion?" Mu Xiaoxiao asked with a frown.
"Miss Mu is very smart." He Lanxuan said in a cold voice.
Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes bulged slightly, and after a moment she became furious and said, "Do you have a problem with your IQ? Do you know that I am your employer? How could you leak this matter? Do you still have a career?" Morality, do you still want to make money? After word spreads, what will your Tianji Pavilion do?"
"Thank you, Miss Mu, for your concern about Tianji Pavilion. It's a pity that I, Tianji Pavilion, have never been short of money, and I always do things according to my mood, and you chose just when I was in a bad mood. The person you want to kill is still the girl I value. So these crimes are my gift to you." After He Lanxuan finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.
After hearing He Lanxuan's words, Mu Xiaoxiao pinched the letter paper at her feet hard with her hands, her eyes were ashen, Tianji Pavilion, it turned out that these things were made by Tianji Pavilion.
"Take her down and lock her up in the woodshed." Mu Chenfeng looked at Mrs. Gu's already pale face and ordered, fearing that Mu Xiaoxiao might irritate Mrs. Gu again.
Mrs. Gu didn't stop her this time. She lay flat on the bed, tears of regret left in the corners of her eyes. Nine years, nine years of separation, and now we can't recognize each other. Thinking of this, Mrs. Gu closed her eyes, and a crystal drop remained in her eyes. On pillow.
"I'm going to find her." Mu Yunxiao pinched the evidence in his hand, turned around and walked out the door.
