Mu Yunjin's visit to the Pearl Tower was an unexpected gain. Originally, she only wanted to chat with Mu Lingzhu and make some sarcasm, but the mother and daughter came up with a new way to harm her.
However, she was really curious, was she really Su Biqing's own daughter
It is said that tiger poison does not eat its offspring, but what Su Biqing wants to do today is not what a mother can do to her own flesh and blood.
This matter has to be studied in another day.
On the way back to Huage, Mu Yunjin met several servants along the way, they all huddled together and whispered, but Mu Yunjin's hearing was excellent, and she heard some messages from them—
"I heard that the second young master was seriously injured, and he will be inhumane in the future."
"Really? It's so serious, so the young master is the only one left to continue the incense for the Mu family?"
"Don't mention it, the second lady is almost blind from crying now, and the master is also angry to kill, but he can't find the real culprit."
"Hey, that's really a pity. It seems that this time someone wants to fight against the Mu family sincerely."
Hearing these messages, Mu Yunjin bit her lip, held back a smile, and quickened her pace to return to Huage.
Seeing that Mu Yunjin came back safe and sound, Zixiang breathed a sigh of relief, and said with concern, "Miss, you left in a hurry just now and didn't even eat anything, you must be hungry now?"
"En? Why don't you think I've eaten at Pearl Tower?" Mu Yunjin blinked at Zixiang, a little curious.
"Miss, I have been by your side since I was a child. I am the most clear about how Fourth Miss and Da Furen treat you." Zixiang lowered her head and spoke in a low tone.
Mu Yunjin was dumbfounded when she heard the words, smiled, and walked to the back room.
On the table in the back room, there was a bowl of simple porridge and two side dishes. Mu Yunjin looked at the sky, which was almost dusk, and then looked at the dishes on the table.
It seems that the third miss of the Mu family is really having a hard time.
After thinking about it, Mu Yunjin picked up the spoon and started eating slowly.
…
The next day, the sky was just slightly bright, and Mu Yunjin, who was sleeping, was gently pushed awake by Zixiang, and whispered in her ear, "Miss, today is the day to go to the palace to meet Qin Taifei, don't you It's better to be late."
Mu Yunjin was bleary-eyed, although she was troubled by sleepiness, she got up obediently and began to wash and dress up.
"Miss, which one to wear?" Zi Xiang took out two decent brocade skirts from the closet, and smiled for Mu Yunjin to choose.
Mu Yunjin looked at the two dresses with patterns and ribbons, frowned slightly, shook her head, sat up, and picked out a relatively simple and elegant dress from the closet.
"Miss, I'm going to see the concubine in the palace today. Wouldn't it be nice to dress so lightly?" Zixiang looked at Mu Yunjin taking out a clear water green brocade dress from the closet, a little surprised.
Mu Yunjin acted as if she had never heard of it, and after putting on the brocade skirt, she smiled at Zixiang, "It's okay, it's better to wear something simple, and if you cause trouble, run fast."
"..." Zixiang choked up, although she wanted to continue, but she couldn't seem to find anything to refute, so she could only do a simple bun for Mu Yunjin as Mu Yunjin wanted.
After washing up, Mu Yunjin took Zixiang to the front hall.
As soon as she walked to the front hall, Mu Yunjin saw that Mu Lingzhu was already standing there, wearing a pink hibiscus brocade dress, her hair was neatly arranged in a bun, and there were several pearl hairpins on it. Mu Lingzhu caught a glimpse of Mu Yunjin who was dressed in plain clothes, with a trace of contempt in her eyes, she rolled her eyes at Mu Yunjin, then moved her eyes away, as if she hadn't seen her at all.
"Miss Si, it's getting late, let's go."
Not long after, a woman who looked like an old woman came forward and spoke respectfully to Mu Lingzhu, completely ignoring Mu Yunjin who was standing on the other side.
Mu Lingzhu nodded, and walked towards the gate surrounded by a group of people.
"Miss, obviously Qin Taifei invited you, and she also invited Miss Fourth, why is she turning her back on the guests?" Zixiang looked at her own lady who was ignored, and secretly complained in her heart.
Mu Yunjin's gaze stayed on Mu Lingzhu's back, she curled her lips into a smile, "You're right, she was attached."
After the words fell, he also walked towards the gate.
Outside the mansion, a red sandalwood carriage stopped at this time. With the support of the old woman, Mu Lingzhu got into the carriage. Like a hibiscus, he shouted to the coachman, "Let's go."
The coachman nodded and picked up his whip. Just as he was about to drive, an eager female voice shouted, "Wait, Miss San hasn't gotten into the carriage yet!"
Zixiang immediately rushed over to stop the coachman.
When the old woman heard this, she suddenly covered her mouth and smiled, and looked at Mu Yunjin who was slowly approaching, "Oh, look, I'm getting old and my memory is not good. I forgot that today the concubine invited three Miss."
"It turns out that the third sister hasn't gotten into the carriage yet. Aunt Li, this is your negligence. Anyway, Concubine Qin invited her sister today." Mu Lingzhu, who was sitting on the carriage, also opened the curtain at this time, facing the carriage. Aunt Li outside said coquettishly.
"Yes, Miss Si is right. The old slave is indeed old and has lost his memory. However, Miss San has never been in the most precious rosewood carriage in this mansion before. I can't think of Miss San at this moment. It’s also justifiable.”
Mu Lingzhu raised the corners of her lips slightly when she heard the words, and smiled contemptuously, "Yes, Auntie is right, I believe my sister will not care about Auntie."
Mu Yunjin listened to the master and servant singing the double reed, with the corners of her mouth raised, but a cold light gradually appeared in her eyes.
If you don't teach these slavish servants a lesson, it will be too inconsistent with her usual style in the past.
"Zixiang, what time is it?" Mu Yunjin said suddenly, turning her gaze to Zixiang.
Zixiang paused, and said, "There is still time for a cup of tea before Chen."
Mu Yunjin nodded, turned her gaze to Aunt Li, and then said sarcastically, "Concubine Qin ordered me to have an audience with my younger sister at Chenshi. Now it's over, and it will be too late soon. You know it's too late, Qin The concubine will punish me and my sister!"
"Miss San, this..." Aunt Li couldn't react to Mu Yunjin who was suddenly acting out of temper, but the coldness that flashed in Mu Yunjin's eyes actually made her heart tremble.
"I remember what Dad said, you will be punished if you do something wrong. You caused me and my sister to be late today, and you should be punished with ten slaps." Mu Yunjin raised her hand before Aunt Li could speak. It was a slap hard on Aunt Li's face.
The force was so great that Aunt Li lost her foothold and immediately fell to the ground with stars in her eyes, she was almost fainted by Mu Yunjin's slap.
When Mu Yunjin was about to slap her for the second time, Aunt Li backed away in fright, "Miss San, it's not good to be an old slave, you should leave quickly, or it will be too late."
"Hmph, I'll settle accounts with you when I come back. If Concubine Qin punishes me and my sister today, I'll come back and beat you to death!"
After saying that, Mu Yunjin stepped into the carriage.
Aunt Li was sitting on the ground, and when she saw Mu Yunjin got into the car, she immediately spat out, "Bah! You little bastard, with such vulgar words and deeds, how can Miss Fourth have such a gentle temperament!"
On the carriage, Mu Lingzhu leaned against the carriage, frowned, and kept rubbing her temples.
The scene of Mu Yunjin and Aunt Li at the gate of the mansion just now is still lingering in her mind, which makes her feel how shameful it is to get out with Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin leaned against the carriage on the other side, looked at Mu Lingzhu, and saw that there were still some scars on her face, and she had to be curious about the so-called sixth prince again.
What kind of person is it that makes Mu Lingzhu hurt her face and insists on entering the palace.
"Mu Yunjin, remember, you will enter the palace later, so you don't talk much, do you hear me?" Mu Lingzhu said suddenly, and looked at Mu Yunjin with displeasure.
Mu Yunjin slightly raised her eyebrows, showing an innocent look, "Why?"
"Let's talk less, don't disgrace our Xiangfu, otherwise, if you go back, your parents won't let you go." Mu Lingzhu said.
Mu Yunjin nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "Speaking of mother, what happened to her yesterday?"
"Shut up!" Mu Lingzhu glared at Mu Yunjin, then turned her head away, ignoring Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin pursed her lips, wanting to laugh out loud, but she tried her best to hold back.
Suddenly found that this kind of days of pretending to be stupid is quite fun.
Not long after, the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace.
After Mu Yunjin and Mu Lingzhu got out of the carriage, they found that there were two other carriages parked at the gate of the palace. Two women got out of the carriage respectively. They were brightly dressed, and by looking at their appearance, they guessed which two official ladies they were.
"Sister Chang, Sister Han..." Mu Lingzhu seemed to know the two women, and walked over to show their friendship.
When the two saw Mu Lingzhu, they stroked their bodies slightly, and then they also smiled, "Sister Lingzhu, it's been a long time since I saw you, but today you are also invited by Princess Qin?"
Mu Lingzhu nodded.
Seeing this, the three of them immediately formed into a group and walked towards the gate of the palace.
At the gate of the palace at this time, Concubine Qin had already arranged for someone to meet her, and when she saw the person, she said respectfully, "Misses, Concubine Qin has hosted a banquet in the Plum Blossom Garden, please come with this old slave."
After the words fell, several people followed the responders to the palace.
Mu Yunjin walked at the end, seeing the pretentious appearance of the three women in front of her, she felt uncomfortable for a while, and couldn't help slowing down her pace, walking more and more slowly.
The few people in front walked slowly, and gradually dropped Mu Yunjin by a certain distance.
Mu Yunjin didn't bother to catch up, so she followed slowly at the end, looking around from time to time, admiring the so-called palace.
When Mu Yunjin's eyes fell on a city wall, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a black figure coming in from the outside of the wall. The speed was extremely fast. If Mu Yunjin hadn't received special training, she would have even thought it was her own hallucination.
Seeing this scene, Mu Yunjin's curiosity was aroused all of a sudden, she glanced at the group of people who had gone far in front of her, and ran in the direction where the black shadow disappeared.
After running for a while, Mu Yunjin stopped in front of an abandoned palace, looked around, but couldn't see the black figure just now.
When he was about to leave, his earlobe moved slightly, and a small voice came from the palace——
