Mu Xuan stood in the sunset, letting the rays of light turn her handsome face red.
Lei Bo stepped forward and apologized: "I kept Uncle Mu waiting for a long time."
Mu Xuan just recovered from his stupor and said, "I came to you to discuss something."
Lei Bo said: "Please sit down in Uncle Mu's room."
He brought another two hundred dollars and told Huaizi to go to the street in front to buy some wine and cooked food.
When Mu Xuan asked Cui Shangzhou to take Aunt Lei to Bianliang, Mu Xuan took good care of Aunt Lei and rewarded her with so many things before leaving.
Lei Bo was grateful for Mu Xuan's kindness, so he treated Mu Xuan a lot.
Very respectful.
Not long after, Huaizi came back.
I bought a jar of Nuerhong, a pound of braised pork head meat, a roast goose, a large bowl of crispy lamb tripe, two kinds of meat snacks, and a pound of preserved bamboo shoots.
In fact, the two of them couldn't eat so much, so Lei Bo gave the pig head meat and snacks to Huaizi and his mother.
The dishes were placed here, the wine was poured, and Mu Xuan was invited to sit down.
Mu Xuan seldom drinks alcohol and doesn't eat much meat dishes.
She basically maintains her previous living habits of living in the temple.
So looking at half of the dishes on the table, he only used his chopsticks on the bamboo shoots.
Lei Bo naturally didn't know, and thought that the young master who came from Prince Mu Xuan's palace was very particular about food and could not get used to such crude food.
Mu Xuan said to Lei Bo very directly: "I would like to ask you to find a time to bring your mother to Bianliang."
Lei Bo said: "Miss Cai sent me to work, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave Bianliang in the short term."
Mu Xuan didn't embarrass him after hearing that, but said, "Then does your mother still live in Nanyang?"
Lei Bo said: "I received a letter from my brother-in-law not long ago, saying that my mother has returned to Xingyang."
Mu Xuan said: "I want to take her back to Bianliang and reunite her with you.
I'll buy you a house and you can live there.
How about that?"
"Uncle Mu" Lei Bo was slightly surprised.
He knew that his mother had been a wet nurse for the young master in front of him, but that was a long time ago.
He did not expect that this master was a person who valued love and justice.
He slowly completed the second half of the sentence: "How can I make Uncle Mu spend money?
I don't know if my mother is willing to live with me."
"There's nothing you wouldn't want to live with your son.
Grandma is getting older gradually, and you should respect her."
"That's right.
But my mother wants to help her sister while she can still move.
My sister has no parents-in-law.
My mother helps her take care of the children.
My brother-in-law is busy with business, so I'm afraid he won't be able to leave."
After hearing this, Mu Xuan was slightly disappointed and had to say: "Then I will take her to live for a while.
It doesn't matter if she doesn't stay for a long time."
Lei Bo knew nothing about what happened in the palace, but he knew that his mother had told him and his sister since childhood not to let them tell about their mother's experience as a wet nurse, and she was even more secretive about the palace.
He also took him and his sister back and forth to several places.
It was like I was running away from something, and I didn't settle down until the past two years.
Mother's behavior.
As well as Mu Xuan's extraordinary enthusiasm now, Lei Bo felt that something big must have happened when his mother came out of the palace.
His mother might be an insider, and the secret behind this might bring misfortune to their family.
That's why I have been guarding this secret.
Now that he and his sister have grown up, they no longer need their mother's protection.

It's up to them to protect their mother.
If there was any danger, they would never let their mother get involved.
But now Lei Bo is actually alert.
He instinctively thought that Mu Xuan wanted to take his mother to Bianliang.
It's definitely not as simple as reuniting mother and son, maybe it has something to do with what happened back then. , Lei Bo didn't speak for a long time, which surprised Mu Xuan and asked quickly: "Why, do you think it's inconvenient?"
Lei Bo drank some wine, but his mind was still very clear.
He said with a smile: "No, it's not.
I just have a doubt in my heart that I want to ask Uncle Mu for help.
There happens to be no one else in front of me, so I want to ask Uncle Mu to tell me."
"If you have any questions, please tell me."
"When I was young, my mother returned to Xingyang, and everyone in our family was very happy.
But later, my mother didn't say a word about the palace to us, and she didn't even let us tell outsiders that she had been a wet nurse.
She just came back.
During those years, we went to many places in Tibet.
I didn't understand it when I was young, but I realized it later when I was older.
I have a question, so I would like to ask Uncle Mu if there was any big incident in the palace when my mother came out."
Mu Xuan pondered for a moment before saying, "My mother and concubine left that year."
Grandma Lei never mentioned this matter to her children.
Lei Bo was stunned for a moment and said instinctively: "Did my mother make any big mistakes back then?"
Mu Xuan shook his head blankly and said: "I was only five years old at that time.
I can't remember anything.
Not long after, my family sent me to Puci Temple.
I lived in the temple for more than ten years, and I didn't know anything about the palace.
Little is known about it.”
This surprised Lei Bo.
For the first time, he felt strange that Mu Xuan, as the eldest son of King Yu, was not named the crown prince.
What was even more strange was that the eldest son of the prince actually grew up in a temple and had real family members.
But very distant.
Mu Xuan could also feel Lei Bo's worry, and he said slowly: "Don't worry, I just have some doubts about some things back then, so I want to ask her about the situation.
I will never let her do anything dangerous.
After all, she was the nanny who nursed me.
She is the only one left of the original four nannies.
I have not yet repaid her kindness."
Lei Bo thought over and over again before saying: "I'll tell you where Xingyang lives, and I won't ask about the rest.
It's just where my mother will stay temporarily when she comes."
Mu Xuan said: "Let me buy you a house."
He still had some spare money on hand.
"I really can't afford this."
Mu Xuan was afraid that Lei Bo would find it difficult, so she added, "How about I come forward and talk to your lady, and let her live in her house temporarily.
I think there are more than a dozen houses, and I can definitely live in them."
Lei Bo did not object this time.
The two talked for nearly half an hour before Mu Xuan stood up and left.
Lei Bo sent him to the alley as usual.
Mu Xuan got on the horse and said, "Go back, I know the way."
Lei Bo added, "Miss, I'll tell you myself, so I won't bother Uncle Mu."

"How can I say it's troublesome?
It was my idea in the first place.
You don't have to worry about it."
He had already held the reins and clamped the horse.
The horse underneath him started running.
Soon the people and horses disappeared into the night.
By the time Mu Xuan returned to Qixia Villa, it was almost the second watch.
He thought that his sister had been waiting at home for half the afternoon and had to go to say hello when she came back, so he came to Jinxiuyuan without having time to change clothes.
As expected, Duan Hui was already impatient with waiting.
Seeing that Mu Xuan finally came back, the expression on his face softened a little, and he asked with concern: "Where are you going?
I asked people to look for you but they couldn't find you."
Mu Xuan said calmly: "Something happened.
I went into the city."
Duan Hui saw him standing in front of her calmly and heard his calm tone, so she thought that it shouldn't be a big deal.
So I stopped asking.
But when she saw Mu Xuan's bandaged finger, she immediately pointed at it and asked, "What's wrong with your hand?"
Mu Xuan thought to herself that she had been negligent, so she hurriedly hid her hands behind her back and said, "It's nothing.
It's just a small injury."
"Are you hiding something from me?"
Duan Hui said slightly.
"Sister, if I don't have it, don't make any suspicions.
It's just a small cut made with broken porcelain pieces, and some blood beads came out."
Duan Hui said, "I don't believe it.
When you were naughty and scratched by a cat, you didn't even grunt.
But you covered a small cut so tightly.
Did you hurt your muscles and bones?"
Mu Xuan thought it was Rong Zheng who was worried about his relationship, otherwise why would he take such a small injury to his heart and cause his sister to misunderstand.
I had no choice but to untie the bandaged handkerchief in front of my sister.
The incense ash and blood stains sprinkled on it had dried.
Got it on my fingers.
He wiped it gently, revealing a thin dark red line, like a line.
Duan Hui was relieved after seeing it with her own eyes, but she still felt strange and said, "When did you become so timid?"
Mu Xuan pursed his lips.
He didn't mention a word about everything that happened today.
"By the way, I happen to be interrogating you too."
"What have I done wrong?
My sister wants to judge me."
"You said you did nothing wrong, so let me ask you.
The princess has proposed several marriages to you these days, why have you not agreed to any of them?"
Mu Xuan said: "I don't like any of these."
"Then what kind of woman do you want to like?
I ask you, will you always use the fact that you are not satisfied as a cover, and then drag this matter out?
In fact, you still don't want to get married at all, right?"
Mu Xuan thought, isn't this obvious?
He was brought into the pit by his sister, otherwise he would not be moved by this mortal heart.

However, it was naturally impossible for him to express these words to the princess, so he had to say perfunctorily: "Sister, I misunderstood.
If I meet someone who is satisfied, I will definitely agree."
"Huh, don't play tricks in front of me.
The girls from these families are either ladies from scholarly families or daughters from official families.
I have met some of them.
I think they are all worthy of you. .
Don’t set your sights too high, be careful of being spoiled for choice.”
"Marriage, marriage, naturally depends on fate.
I have no fate with these people, and my sister can't force it."
Duan Hui saw that his younger brother was very articulate, so he couldn't say any more.
"It's late today, you should go to bed early.
Come back to the house with me tomorrow."
Mu Xuan refused bluntly: "As long as my sister goes back, I'll forget it."
Duan Hui gritted his teeth: "What do you mean, forget it.
Now you need more help from your family, and this layer cannot be avoided."
"Sister, why should you embarrass me?
You clearly know that I have no affection for that so-called family.
If I hadn't cared about my sister, I would have stayed away from the mortal world with Master Yuankong."
This was the last thing Duan Hui wanted to hear.
She said with tears in her eyes: "Jun Hua, it's already this time and you still say this.
Why don't you get rid of this idea quickly."
Seeing his sister's anxious look, Mu Xuan realized that he had made a mistake.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Sister, you can go back by yourself.
You don't have to call me for everything."
Duan Hui sighed.
Before leaving, Mu Xuan remembered something and suddenly asked: "Sister, are you going to the spring banquet of the 23rd Qi Mansion?"
"I haven't made up my mind yet.
Maybe I won't go."
Mu Xuan said: "Sister, you should still go.
It's rare that the Qi family still misses the favor from back then."
Duan Hui was a little surprised.
It turned out that her brother was not very ignorant of the world.
Not long after Mu Xuan returned to Tangli's study, it suddenly started raining.
The sound of rain fell on the green tiles, making a crisp sound.
Mu Xuan felt cold and cold, and recalled a poem taught by her mother and concubine when she was a child: "The sound of wind and rain at night can tell how many flowers have fallen."
The injury on his finger was not a big problem to Mu Xuan, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he could think of Rong Zheng being anxious about it.
Thinking of Rong Zheng, he couldn't help but remember everything about the two of them.
I recalled it all over again.
He couldn't remember exactly when the two of them met for the first time, but he almost strangled her to death during that encounter in the palace.
Now that I think about it, I still feel a little scared.
Why was he so willing to be so cruel to a weak woman who had no power to restrain a chicken?
Seeing her trembling in front of her, didn't he feel soft at that time?
For the first time, he had strong curiosity about what kind of woman Rong Zheng was.
Thinking of the things he asked Cui Shangzhou to inquire about, he still couldn't perfectly outline her specific image in his mind.
He thought this woman was interesting, but she inadvertently touched his heartstrings.

For the first time in his life, Mu Xuan lost sleep because of a woman.
Looking back, this actually made him feel a little embarrassed.
It rained all night and finally stopped, and the morning sun dyed the window paper white.
This morning he didn't go to the garden to practice his sword and got up a little late.
Putting on a single robe and walking to the window, he reached out and pushed open the window, and sure enough he saw a patch of mud.
The pear blossoms were in full bloom yesterday, but they have withered a lot today.
A night of north wind made the flowers on the branches float to the grass mat if they were lucky, but if they were unlucky, they fell directly into the mud.
Mu Xuan couldn't help but feel emotional about the scene, thinking that people in the world often compare women to flowers.
Life is so short, just like his mother-in-law, who died before she had finished blooming; and just like his sister's glorious days, which were already covered with green leaves and her youth was gone.
So what will happen to Rongzheng in the future, and what kind of people will she meet?
It would be better if someone knew how to keep warm and cold, maybe the piano and the sound could live a happy life.
If you encounter someone who is unkind, you will be no different from this pear blossom who has fallen into the mud.
After he sighed, he suddenly had an idea in his mind.
He gathered up his clothes, tied his belt, and strode towards Jinxiu Courtyard.
Duan Hui was busy going back to the palace when she suddenly saw Mu Xuan coming and said with a smile: "You have changed your mind and want to go with me, right?"
"No, I have something to tell my sister."
Seeing his serious look, Duan Hui stopped what she was doing before asking him anything, but she saw Dan Ju coming over in a hurry to report: "Princess, there are people from Fujian."
Duan Hui was stunned and quickly asked: "Where is he?"
Danju said: "I'm waiting at the second gate.
The princess wants to see you."
Duan Hui said hurriedly: "Since we have already come to the door, there is no reason to drive away.
Please come over."
She felt that nothing good would happen if the Ji family came to visit her.
She lowered her head and thought about it, and saw Mu Xuan standing in front of her and asked hurriedly.
He: "Junhua, what did you just say?"
Mu Xuan shook his head and said, "It's okay." s: Guess what Mu Xuan wants to tell the princess:
