On the way back to Tinghua Pavilion, Mu Yunjin was in a good mood, especially when she thought of the anger and sadness revealed in Mu Lingzhu's eyes just now, she felt refreshed all over her body, and couldn't help but slow down her steps a little.
"Third Sister..." A delicate voice came from the side path, Mu Yunjin stopped in her tracks, turned her eyes and saw Mu Xiarou standing there.
Seeing that the person who stopped her was Mu Xiarou, Mu Yunjin didn't have a good face, and said lightly, "The fifth younger sister came here to wait for me?"
"Yes, third sister, Rou'er has been waiting for you for a long time." Mu Xiarou stepped forward, pretending to be obedient and winking at Mu Yunjin.
"What are you waiting for me?" Mu Yunjin glanced at Mu Xiarou and continued walking.
When Mu Xiarou heard about it, she smiled sweetly at her, "My younger sister wants to congratulate the third elder sister. Seeing that the sixth prince has come to the door today, the good things with my elder sister must be coming soon."
Hearing this, Mu Yunjin understood Mu Xiarou's intentions, and couldn't help smiling at her, "Thank you, sister."
"It's all a family, how could my sister be so polite." Mu Xiarou said with a charming smile.
Mu Yunjin squinted at the expression on Mu Xiarou's face at this time. If the child and Mu Lingzhu hadn't gone to her Shihua Pavilion to find fault that day, Mu Xiarou now had such a harmless smile on her face. You must think that this is an innocent child.
However, she is indeed a bad child full of thoughts.
"Not long ago, my sister and mother said in private that my sister was born so beautiful, she will definitely marry into the royal family." Mu Yunrou smiled and took Mu Yunjin's arm affectionately.
Mu Yunjin let her hold her arm, "Sister's birth is not bad, so I will promise a good family in the future."
"My sister borrowed a good word from my sister." Mu Xiarou let go of Mu Yunjin's arm, stroked her body, and said a little shyly, "Then when my sister enters the royal family, don't forget to find a good family for her. "
After listening to Mu Xiarou talk for a long time, she finally got to the point. Mu Yunjin stopped, glanced up and down Mu Xiarou leisurely, and reached out to smooth a strand of Mu Xiarou's hair.
"As long as my sister is obedient, my sister will definitely not treat you badly." Mu Yunjin's eyes flashed brightly, and she emphasized again, "Do you know what is obedient?"
Mu Xiarou was taken aback by Mu Yunjin's harsh tone, and suddenly didn't dare to look into Mu Yunjin's eyes, and nodded immediately.
"It's getting late, my sister should go to rest early." Mu Yunjin smiled lightly and dismissed Mu Xiarou.
As if hearing the amnesty order, Mu Xiarou immediately ran away.
When Mu Yunjin returned to Tinghua Pavilion, there were bright candles burning inside, Zi Xiang immediately ran over when she heard the sound of the door opening, "Miss, you are back."
"Yes, I'm back, hurry up and prepare the bath water for me, I want to take a bath." Mu Yunjin stretched her waist, and yawned with some difficulty.
This whole day has been tossing her to death.
"Miss, wait until you take a bath. Aunt Zhang is here. I have been waiting for you here all afternoon. You should go and see her first." Zixiang supported Mu Yunjin and walked into the small hall of Tinghua Pavilion go.
Aunt Zhang
Mu Yunjin frowned slightly, and thought about it for a while, it seemed that when she found out that the jade pendant was missing that day, she had heard Zixiang mention this person.
After a while, Mu Yunjin came to the small hall, and as soon as she entered the small hall, she saw an old woman sitting inside, dressed plainly, her hair was already grizzled, and she could only vaguely see some black hair.
As soon as the old woman saw Mu Yunjin's figure, she immediately sat up, her eyes turned red, "Miss San, I haven't seen you in so many years, you look so delicate and beautiful."
"Hello, Aunt Zhang." Although it is still unclear about the original relationship between this aunt and the owner of this body, it is always right to say hello now.
Aunt Zhang nodded, took Mu Yunjin's hand and sat down, looked Mu Yunjin up and down carefully, then nodded with some relief, "I am so happy to see Miss growing up safely."
"Yes, Aunt Zhang, since you left the mansion and returned to your hometown ten years ago, the young lady's life in this mansion has not been easy. Over the years, she has survived all the way." Zixiang glanced at Mu Yunjin, and said at the right time road.
Knowing that the young lady was given the fragrance by Aunt Su not long ago, she lost some memory, but Aunt Zhang was worried, so Zixiang had no choice but to remind Mu Yunjin from the side at the right time.
Mu Yunjin glanced at Zixiang, the little girl who was close to her, and cast a grateful look.
"It's the old slave who is sorry for Miss. Now seeing Miss like this, the guilt in the old slave's heart is less." Aunt Zhang sighed, holding Mu Yunjin's hand tightly.
"Auntie, don't blame yourself. Yun Jin is about to leave the court, and she is already in her early years. A good life is yet to come, so the hardships ahead are nothing." Mu Yunjin said.
Aunt Zhang sniffed and nodded.
After a while, Aunt Zhang seemed to think of something, wiped away her tears, and said, "By the way, miss, do you still keep your personal jade pendant?"
After saying that, Mu Yunjin and Zixiang looked at each other.
"Don't worry, aunt, it is well preserved." Mu Yunjin smiled. Now that the jade pendant is with Chu Li, it can be regarded as well preserved.
"That's good." Aunt Zhang nodded, suddenly lowered her voice, and said in a decibel that only two people could hear, "The jade pendant is very important to you, miss, you must keep it properly, and it must not fall into the hands of others." hand."
Aunt Zhang's words aroused Mu Yunjin's curiosity, and she couldn't help asking, "Is it important? But the jade pendant has been by my side for many years, and I haven't noticed anything unusual."
"Hey, there are some things that this old slave shouldn't have said."
"But now that you are close to Ji, miss, it's okay for this old servant to reveal something to you."
"Miss, do you really feel that you are not favored in this Xiangfu because you are ignorant and cowardly? In the Diehua City, which daughters are all talented, clever and clever? People don't still get the love of their parents."
"Have you ever received a trace of maternal love from the eldest lady? Have you ever felt a trace of warmth from the Xiangye? Have you ever thought about the real reasons for these phenomena?"
"..."
Aunt Zhang's words exploded in Mu Yunjin's ears, suddenly Mu Yunjin felt countless fragments flashing around, and then slowly pieced together into a complete pattern.
"I'm not the flesh and blood of the Mu family?" Mu Yunjin lowered her voice and gave Aunt Zhang a probing look.
Aunt Zhang sighed slightly, closed her eyes and nodded.
After being confirmed by Aunt Zhang, Mu Yunjin suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of relief. Regarding this issue, she had also imagined it, but she never thought that her idea would be true.
"That jade pendant is a token left to you by your relatives, so you must keep it safe and never lose it, you know?" Aunt Zhang urged.
Hearing what Aunt Zhang said, Mu Yunjin was a little embarrassed. She didn't expect this jade pendant to be so important to her, but she agreed to sell it to Chu Li.
But in this situation, the business cannot be done naturally, and I don't know how Chu Li will react when she repents now.
Thinking of these, Mu Yunjin was a little irritable.
"It's getting late, Aunt Zhang is exhausted today, why don't you go to bed early." Mu Yunjin changed the subject and looked at Aunt Zhang.
Aunt Zhang nodded.
After returning to the bedroom, Mu Yunjin sat in the steaming bathtub, frowned, thinking about how to speak to Chu Li.
Zixiang was helping Mu Yunjin add flower petals to the bathtub. After a while, Zixiang put down the flower basket and stomped her feet, "Miss, what should I do? I lost the jade pendant..."
"What if Miss's biological family comes to look for you, then what can I do." Zixiang was about to burst into tears.
"Don't worry, the jade pendant is with Chu Li, and he picked it up." Looking at the little girl who was more anxious than herself, Mu Yunjin had no choice but to tell the truth.
Hearing that it was Chu Li, Zixiang immediately opened her mouth, "Miss, how far have you and the sixth prince developed, that you actually left the personal jade pendant with the sixth prince?"
"Stinky girl, I said he picked it up, what are you thinking?" Mu Yunjin glared at Zixiang.
Zixiang smiled wickedly, and continued to help Mu Yunjin pour flower petals into the tub, "I am happy for you, miss, you will be the concubine of the sixth prince sooner or later, so it doesn't matter what happens with the sixth prince now."
Mu Yunjin choked up and was immediately speechless.
All night, Mu Yunjin lay on the bed tossing and turning, thinking about how to tell Chu Li what she regretted.
When they were in the carriage, Chu Li's performance clearly showed that he cared about the jade pendant, and it was inevitable.
But that jade pendant is related to his life experience and is very important to him, no matter what, he must take it back.
After thinking about it, Mu Yunjin sat up, scratched her head a little irritably, got out of bed and lit a candle, and glanced at the current time.
It has been nearly four days.
Looking at the night outside the window, Mu Yunjin bit her lip, and suddenly a plan bloomed in her heart—
"Why don't you go and steal that jade pendant back?"
After thinking about it, Mu Yunjin was a little speechless, she wanted to steal it back even though it was her own.
But now, it seems that there is no better way than this.
…
After a cup of tea, Mu Yunjin had already changed into a black dress with a black cloth covering her face, and quietly blew out the candles in the room.
Then he opened the window softly, turned over and stepped out, his footsteps were light, and his figure disappeared into the quiet night...
After easily climbing over the wall and leaving the prime minister's mansion, Mu Yunjin followed her memory and headed all the way to the palace. Along the way, Mu Yunjin's skills were like an agile black cat, constantly shuttling in every corner of the streets and alleys .
After a while, Mu Yunjin stopped in front of the palace gate, hid in the dark, and observed the guards around the palace.
It was the fourth watch now, and the guards in front of the palace gate were also a little tired, and they didn't realize that someone had sneaked into the palace quietly through the night.
After entering the palace, Mu Yunjin, who was dressed in black, hid on a big tree, her mind was a little messy, and she kept looking around through the shadow of the tree.
Damn it, what she did just now seems to be too reckless, she doesn't know which palace Chu Li lives in, where should she go to find someone in such a huge palace.
Just as he was thinking, a group of patrolling men and horses came not far away, and stopped under the big tree where Mu Yunjin was hiding—
"Boss, the palaces of the fourth and fifth princes have already been patrolled, and now the third prince's Chaoyue Palace and the sixth prince's Liquan Palace are not patrolled."
