"The old lady is looking for help for Mu Zixi."
Mu Ziyan sneered.
"Help" Biyun looked puzzled, feeling that it was really hard to guess what the old lady was thinking.
Yunxiang looked at Biyun and continued, "The old lady wants to use the second lady to deal with the eldest lady and the second lady.
However, she is worried that the second lady is not the eldest lady's opponent, so she wants to find a helper."
"This fourth lady has this ability."
Biyun didn't believe it.
"I would like to see what the fourth sister is capable of."
Mu Ziyan curled her lips and smiled, "It seems that this palace banquet will be very exciting."
"Miss, the second young master has entered the city and will arrive in about half an hour."
Yunxiang reported back in a low voice.
Mu Ziyan's apricot eyes turned slightly, as if she thought of something, "He entered the city late at night, can he come in?"
"What the eldest lady means?"
Yunxiang also heard the deep meaning in Mu Ziyan's words.
"It seems that my second brother is not an easy person."
There is a curfew in Dayan State.
Therefore, after the second watch, no one is allowed to go out on the streets except for watchmen and patrolling soldiers and government officials.
Otherwise, they will be arrested as thieves.
If you want to enter the city, you must carry a token. of.
These tokens are also divided into levels.
Each of the ten major aristocratic families has one.
The token of Muhou Palace is naturally in the main room.
So whose token did Mu Lingrui take to enter?
Seeing Mu Ziyan deep in thought, Yunxiang said immediately, "Miss, there is another woman who entered the city with the second young master."
"It seems that this woman's identity is unusual."
Mu Ziyan said lightly.
"Miss, the second young master followed her carriage into the city, and that woman is Princess Ming'an."
Yunxiang frowned slightly when she mentioned Princess Ming'an.
"Who am I?
It turns out that I am the famous Princess Ming'an."
Mu Ziyan also smiled and said in a low voice, "My second brother is very capable.
He can ask Princess Ming'an to clear the way for him." , indeed capable.”
When Biyun heard that Princess Ming'an's face changed, she continued, "Miss, didn't Princess Ming'an go to the fiefdom?
Why did she come back?"
Speaking of Princess Ming'an, she is truly a strange flower.
As the daughter of the current emperor's brother, Prince Liang, she has been named the princess since she was a child.
She is loved by thousands of people, but she is a troublemaker. , three years ago, in During a palace banquet, she fell in love with the prince of a small country who came to pay homage.
That night, she went to find the prince's stay.
The prince refused, so the two had a dispute.
Princess Ming'an became angry and Kill this prince.
The prince of a small country has a lower status than the children of aristocratic families in the Great Yan Kingdom, not to mention that Princess Ming'an is the most beloved daughter of King Liang.
The emperor was furious when he found out about this, but because of the relationship with Prince Liang, he could not leave Princess Ming'an to the small country, but he could not protect her openly, so he sent her to the barren northern wasteland.
The small country was rewarded with a lot of gold, silver, silk and satin, cattle, horses and cloth.
The small country was already attached to the big country.
Even if it was angry in its heart, compared with the rich items given by the big country as an apology, sacrificing a mere prince was nothing.

The matter came to an end, and the reputation of Princess Ming'an spread.
"Princess Ming'an's visit this time surprised me."
Mu Ziyan chuckled, "But when did the second brother become so familiar with Princess Ming'an?"
Biyun looked at Mu Ziyan, and then his eyes fell on Yunxiang.
"Princess Ming'an is now eighteen and has passed the age of marriage.
I think Prince Liang was anxious, so he recalled Princess Ming'an."
Yunxiang said carefully.
"My cousin has just passed his prime years and is now seventeen.
It is reasonable to say that he will take part in the imperial examination this year, but he has been studying abroad, which puzzles me."
Qi Xuan and Mu Lingrui are similar in age, and Mu Lingrui is the same age.
Ling Rui has been studying abroad these years, but Mu Ziyan has another guess.
Studying is probably the second best.
Mu Ziyan chuckled lowly, and a faint light flashed across his eyebrows, "Everything will happen when he enters the house.
It depends on who he goes to pay his respects first."
Biyun thought about the meaning of Mu Ziyan's words and responded suddenly, "The eldest lady said it."
Mu Ziyan smiled lowly and said, "It's better to rest early.
I'm afraid there will be a lot of excitement tomorrow morning."
"Yes."
Biyun stepped forward with a smile, "Miss, I will help you undress."
Mu Ziyan chuckled and said, "Girl, you are really smart now."
Biyun's eyebrows were filled with joy, "This slave likes to join in the fun."
That night, Mu Lingrui hurried back to Muhou Mansion without disturbing anyone, but went back to his yard.
In Changsong Courtyard, the old lady has not rested yet, she seems to be waiting for someone.
Auntie stepped forward, followed by a handsome young man, with a somewhat cold look in his eyes, who looked exactly like Mu Qingran.
He was wearing a black cloak.
When he entered the room, he took off his cloak.
Down.
Grandma raised her hand to take it, and when the young man entered the inner room, she bowed her head and stepped back.
"My grandson greets my grandmother."
The voice seemed a bit cold, but it was very calm.
Compared to Mu Qingran, he is indeed better than his predecessor.
The old lady looked at Mu Lingrui, whom she had not seen for a year, and smiled kindly, "You kid, you just came back, why don't you take a break?"
"My grandson missed his grandmother, so he hurried over eagerly."
Mu Lingrui also showed a gentle smile like the old lady, and then stepped forward to let the old lady see more clearly.
The old lady nodded slightly, "She has grown taller and her skin is darker, but she is very energetic."
Mu Lingrui smiled and said, "As expected, it is still the grandmother who loves her grandson."
"My grandma loves you the most, kid."
The old lady waved to him.
Mu Lingrui stepped forward a little more, bent down and let the old lady look at her.
Seeing how obedient he was, the old lady felt very happy and said with a smile, "I won't leave when I come back this time."
"My grandson listens to my grandmother."
Mu Lingrui responded with a smile.
"Okay, okay."
The old lady said two good words in a row, obviously very satisfied with Mu Lingrui.
"Grandma, how are you doing lately?"

Mu Lingrui's eyes were filled with concern.
The old lady whispered, "Your body is still strong, but there are many troubles in the house now.
Although you are back, you must be more careful."
"My grandson understands."
Mu Lingrui responded in a low voice.
He never mentioned the matter between Zhang and Mu Zixi.
He exchanged a few words with the old lady and left Changsongyuan.
Grandma personally sent him away from the secret passage, and then entered the inner room, "Old madam, the most important person in the second young master's heart is you."
A glint flashed across the old lady's eyes, "He is a smart man.
He knows who he is close to, so that he can achieve great things."
Aunt Cong quickly agreed, "The old lady is absolutely right."
Early the next morning, Mu Ziyan was going to pay respects to the Qi family.
When she entered the Jiyue Courtyard, she saw Mu Lingxuan was there.
She stepped forward with a smile, "Brother has been clinging to my mother these past few days, and she doesn't even care about me." ” Mu Lingxuan said warmly, "Girl, you are becoming more and more ungrateful."
"Isn't my sister right?"
Mu Ziyan curled his lips, tilted his head and winked at Mu Lingxuan.
Mu Lingxuan knew what she was planning, and then said, "Okay, I got it."
"My brother loves me the most."
Mu Ziyan quickly stepped forward and tugged on Mu Lingxuan's sleeve, smiling particularly brightly.
When Mrs.
Qi saw her like this, she snorted coldly, "Yes, the one who loves you the most is your brother, and I, my mother, will have to step aside."
Mu Ziyan quickly stepped forward and snuggled into Qi's arms, "Mom, you and my brother love me the most."
"Okay, don't be a good boy."
Mrs.
Qi looked down at her, "I can't go to the palace banquet tomorrow.
This palace is no better than the Marquis' Mansion, so you have to be more careful."
"Mom, although I don't often move around this palace, I have been there before.
My daughter will be careful."
Mu Ziyan knew that Mrs.
Qi was worried that the old lady would trip her up, so she whispered.
"Also, you can wait for your two cousins at the gate of the palace tomorrow."
Mrs.
Qi whispered, "Don't walk alone."
"Yes, my daughter has taken note of it."
Seeing what Qi said, Mu Ziyan listened attentively.
After coming out of Qi's house, the courtyard where Zhong Hui lived was demolished.
Mu Lingxuan moved back to the courtyard where he lived these days.
It was very close to Qi's Jiyue Courtyard.
He and Mu Ziyan went out together.
In the yard, the two of them were walking on the path.
"Jing Zhaoyin was assassinated last night."
Mu Lingxuan looked at her, "You sent someone to protect her secretly."
"It seems that I can't hide anything from my brother."
Mu Ziyan admitted calmly.
"Fortunately, you are more cautious, otherwise, Mr.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Zhang might be dead now."
Mu Lingxuan continued, "What should you do about this matter?"
"Since the Zhong family has done it, they must bear the consequences."
Mu Ziyan narrowed his eyes slightly, "I can take this opportunity to hammer it out."
"Of course."
Mu Lingxuan said in a low voice, "I can leave this matter to my brother."
"Okay."
Mu Ziyan responded with a smile, obviously knowing that Mu Lingxuan already had an idea.
The brother and sister talked happily and then dispersed.
Mu Lingxuan also left Muhou Mansion and then went to Jingzhao Yin Yamen.
Zhang Zong was still so angry that he looked gloomy thinking about the assassination last night.
Seeing him like this, Mrs.
Lu whispered, "You are so angry just because important evidence was stolen."
"Hmph."
Zhang Zong said in a deep voice, "This Zhonghou Mansion is too arrogant."
Mrs.
Lu continued, "Since this physical evidence is gone, it is best to find other physical evidence now."
"How can it be so easy?"
Zhang Zong was annoyed thinking about the fire in the file room last night that almost burned down the entire file room.
Madam Lu knew that Zhang Zong regarded those files as his life and would never allow them to be destroyed.
Fortunately, they were discovered in time and only burned some of them.
Otherwise, Zhang Zong would have led his people directly towards the Zhonghou Mansion. .
The voice of a bookboy came from outside, "Master, Mu Shizi is outside asking for an audience."
"Mu Shizi" Zhang Zong was slightly startled, and then he managed to suppress his anger.
He thought that Miss Mu Da sent someone to secretly protect him last night.
I'm afraid that early this morning, what he saw would be his Zhang Zong's body, as well as his body.
The files were burned.
Seeing that he was gradually suppressing his anger, Madam Lu continued, "Don't keep Mu Shizi waiting for too long.
I think Mu Shizi has something to say."
"Yes."
Zhang Zong nodded.
Then he stood up in person and left the house to greet Mu Lingxuan.
When they entered together and sat in the hall, Mu Lingxuan did not mince words.
After sitting down, he said warmly, "Master Zhang, I am here to greet you."
Give this to Mr.
Zhang.”
As he spoke, Mu Lingxuan took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Zong with both hands.
Zhang Zong raised his hand to take it, and then unfolded it.
After looking at it, a bright light flashed in his eyes, "This is really just in time."
Mu Lingxuan whispered, "Don't worry, Mr.
Zhang, this letter is definitely not forged, and it is unique.
Only you and I know about it in this world."
"Thank you so much, Master Mu."
Zhang Zong took the letter and kept it carefully.
This was more powerful evidence than the evidence that the Zhonghou Mansion sent to burn it last night.

Seeing Zhang Zong being so excited, Mu Lingxuan's eyes flashed with a gentle light, and then he chatted for a few words and turned around and left the Yamen.
Seeing how happy he was, Lady Lu asked in a low voice, "Is this letter really that important?"
"Of course."
Zhang Zong whispered, "If the Zhonghou Mansion dares to burn my file room, I will pluck out a few of his hairs."
Madam Lu saw him speaking in a deep voice and whispered, "When did you become so vindictive?"
"Huh."
Zhang Zong said coldly, "I'm just retaliating with tooth.
I almost died last night."
Madam Lu was just making a casual joke.
She thought it was funny that Zhang Zong, who was dull and stiff, could be so angry.
In the Zhonghou Mansion, Zhong Xuan looked at the shadowy man kneeling on the ground in front of him with a gloomy face, gently waving his sleeves, "You failed the mission, and you dare to come back."
The man in black didn't dare to say anything, so he immediately drew his sword and stabbed himself in the chest, dying in front of her.
Zhong Xuan narrowed her eyes, and a cold light shot out, "Mu Ziyan, I really underestimated you."
She immediately ordered someone to drag the dead man in black down, then got up and went to Lord Zhong's study.
When Mr.
Zhong Xuan saw Zhong Xuan coming, he immediately grabbed the inkstone on the desk and threw it at her.
Naturally, Zhong Xuan did not dare to hide.
She was immediately hit in the arm and her clothes were stained with a lot of ink.
She He whispered, "Father, this matter can still be undone."
"Recover" Mr.
Zhonghou snorted coldly, "How to redeem Zhang Zong?
He must have known that the assassination of him last night was the work of the Zhonghou Mansion.
If you hand over the book to the emperor and read my copy, I am afraid that the Zhonghou Mansion will not be able to take advantage of it.
Walk."
Zhong Xuan whispered, "Father, don't worry.
Although the assassination of Zhang Zong failed, I ordered people to burn his file room, and the physical evidence he collected has been destroyed."
"Seriously!"
Mr.
Zhong's expression, which had been gloomy and terrifying just now, suddenly became softer at this moment.
Zhong Xuan continued, "Exactly."
"I just received the news that Mu Lingxuan went to Jingzhao Yin Yamen."
Zhong Houfu said with a solemn expression.
"My daughter has also learned about it, so today I still want to visit Jingzhao Yin Yamen at night."
Zhong Xuan said in a low voice.
"If you make another mistake, you will go back to the village."
Lord Zhong shouted in a deep voice.
"Yes."
Zhong Xuan responded, turned around and left the study.
He looked down at the ink all over his body, his eyes flashed with cold light, and he went back to his yard.
Mu Lingrui seemed extraordinarily low-key when he came back.
Except for meeting the old lady once that night, he went to see Mr.
Zhang the next day.
When he came out, his face was solemn and he looked up to the sky with a long sigh.
Mu Ziyan didn't know that Mu Lingrui went to the old lady's place last night.
Now she heard Yunxiang's report that Mu Lingrui went to Zhang's place first and then went to pay her respects to the old lady.

However, Mu Ziyan felt that In Mu Lingrui's heart, what he valued more was the old lady.
Coming out of Zhang's courtyard, his expression was too pretentious.
"What's going on at the Zhonghou Mansion?"
Mu Ziyan continued to ask.
"Back to Miss, I can't find out what's going on inside, so I don't know anything about it."
Yunxiang replied truthfully.
"Whenever there is any trouble in the Muhou Mansion, the Zhong family is well aware of it."
Mu Ziyan sneered, looked at Yunxiang and said, "No idlers are allowed to approach the main room, and no information is allowed to be leaked. ” "Yes."
Yunxiang responded in a low voice, and then went to give the order.
Biyun spoke carefully from the side, "Miss, you said that the Zhong family didn't succeed last night, will they do it again?"
"Yes."
Mu Ziyan knew Zhong Xuan's temper to some extent.
She had always been confident, so how could she tolerate failure?
"Where is Master Da Zhang?"
Biyun also became worried.
"Follow the plan."
Mu Ziyan sneered.
It was getting dark and Mu Lingxuan had not returned yet.
Mu Ziyan had dinner with Qi and then returned to the courtyard.
Biyun came back in a hurry, "Miss, the second lady has just returned home."
"Yes."
Mu Ziyan responded calmly, "Just be prepared."
"Yes, the eldest lady."
Biyun understood that the second young lady must come to visit the eldest lady when she returns to the Hou Mansion.
As expected, after Mu Zixi entered the mansion, he first went to the old lady's place to kowtow in greeting, then took a look at Mrs.
Zhang, and then led Cai Lian to the Yanluo Courtyard.
After not seeing her for a month, she has obviously become thinner, but her eyebrows and eyes are less sickly and more charming, and her eyes have become calmer, and now they look more and more charming.
If only a few more years had passed, Mu Zixi would have turned out to be beautiful and charming, but it was a pity that she didn't know if she would survive until that time.
Mu Zixi waited until the call was passed before entering the courtyard.
When she saw Mu Ziyan sitting on the soft couch, she smiled brightly at Mu Ziyan, but there were tears in the corners of her eyes.
This look, if Being looked at by uninformed people, you must be weak and pitiful.
Mu Ziyan saw that Mu Zixi's crying ability had improved to a higher level.
The tears fell, and they were full and crystal clear.
When she saw her body facing him, she said, "Sister, I've seen eldest sister."
Mu Ziyan did not stand up to help her, but just smiled faintly, "Second sister came back at the right time."
"Sister, you are still complaining about me."
Mu Zixi looked at Mu Ziyan aggrievedly, and her voice sounded more and more amused.
Mu Ziyan raised her eyebrows slightly, "I don't know what the second sister is talking about."
"Big sister, it's always my sister's fault.
During these days in the temple, my sister has been reflecting day and night.
No one can make mistakes without being a sage.
Big sister doesn't remember the mistakes of villains, so please forgive my sister this time.
"Mu Zixi said while crying.
Mu Ziyan picked up the tea cup and looked at Mu Zixi who was talking to herself in front of her as if she were watching a play.
Mu Zixi acted with great emotion, took a sip, and then slowly put it down, "Second sister, late at night.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Come here just to cry in front of me."
When Mu Zixi saw that Mu Ziyan was unmoved, she knew that talking more would be useless, so she quickly stopped crying and said, "Sister is here to ask for forgiveness from eldest sister."
"Forgive me."
Mu Ziyan curled her lips and smiled slightly, "My sister has done something sorry for me.
I must ask for forgiveness tonight."
Mu Zixi raised his eyes and looked at her, feeling very sad, "It seems that eldest sister has not calmed down yet."
"Second sister has just come back, and her body doesn't seem to be in good shape.
It's better to go back and rest early.
If she catches the cold and cannot go to the palace tomorrow, wouldn't it be my fault?"
Mu Ziyan said slowly , got up and went inside.
Mu Zixi knelt on the ground and stared blankly for a moment.
She lowered her eyes to cover up the cold light in her eyes.
Then she slowly stood up and walked out of the Yanluo Courtyard with the help of Cai Lian.
Her pitiful appearance instantly became as cold as ice.
Even after returning to Yuexiyuan.
"Second Miss, the servants have ordered people to clean the courtyard inside and outside again."
Chun Yu hurriedly stepped forward and said, knowing that this month in the temple, it was simply not a place for people to live.
Mu Zixi was filled with anger when she thought about her family temple.
She asked herself every day why she ended up in such a situation.
Gradually, she figured out that this person must be doing it for her.
What she said to Zhang She followed the advice, but in the end, she suffered from a frail body at a young age, which made it difficult to get pregnant in the future.
Look at the scar on her arm, which she can never erase. pain.
Why is it that Mu Ziyan has status, parents, and brothers who love her, but she is helpless, with a mother who doesn't care for her, a father who doesn't love her, and even her brother is cold to her.
They are selfish, why should she take care of them?
She remembered that she had just gone to Zhang's place.
Zhang watched her come back without even a word of concern.
He just asked her to behave well at the palace banquet and think more about the situation of her second wife.
Mu Zixi sneered secretly.
If she thought about it more, what could she do?
Would she be thrown into the family temple again?
No, she will never go back.
Even if she dies, she doesn't want to go to that cold place like hell again.
Therefore, now, the only one she can rely on is herself, and she doesn't trust anyone.
"Yes."
Mu Zixi responded calmly, looking up at the courtyard in front of him.
It was much colder than usual.
There were only six maids and women left in the courtyard now.
She secretly suppressed the resentment in her heart and carried her into the house.
After entering the inner room, she looked at the soft couch in front of her and thought of the hard bed board in her family temple, and she felt a surge of sadness in her heart.
"Second Miss, Fourth Miss is here."
Mu Zixi was undressing and coming out of the shower when she heard Cai Lian's report.
"Invite her in."
Mu Zixi said calmly.
"Yes."
Cai Lian responded.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
After a while, she saw Mu Zilan walking in.
She knew that Mu Zixi's courtyard, even though it was much colder now, was still grand.
Compared with her simple and remote courtyard, it was really a place in the sky. , one is underground.
A flash of jealousy flashed in her eyes, and with a faint smile on her lips, she stepped forward to Mu Zixi and gave a slight salute.
"Sister has met the second sister."
Mu Zilan whispered.
"Fourth sister, please sit down."
Mu Zixi's voice was faintly soft, and when she raised her eyes to look at Mu Zilan, she also had a bit of pity.
"Thank you, second sister."
Mu Zilan sat down obediently, "My sister is here just to congratulate you."
"What happiness do I have?"
Mu Zixi sighed quietly.
"Second sister's return this time must be a blessing after all the hardships."
Mu Zilan said with a smile, "If at the palace banquet tomorrow, second sister catches the eye of the Queen Mother and recognizes her as her adopted granddaughter, wouldn't that be true?"
Seeing Mu Zilan say this, Mu Zixi smiled slightly and said, "Then I'll borrow my sister's good words."
Why Mu Zilan said this was because the old lady had sent her a message.
Although there was a palace banquet tomorrow for the Twelve Princes, the Queen Mother and Concubine Yun had always been at odds with each other, and she wanted to accept a righteous man during the banquet.
Granddaughter, this is undoubtedly a slap in Concubine Yun’s face in public.
As for the overt and covert fighting in the harem, the emperor naturally turned a blind eye.
As long as it didn't go too far, he would not pay attention to it.
What's more, it was still a conflict between the Queen Mother and her beloved concubine.
He Since we can't make peace, we can only stand by and watch.
In this harem, there is a set of rules for survival.
If you respect me three points, I will respect you ten feet.
For some people, the more humble you are to her, the more she will push her further.
And for some people, the more cruel you are to her, the more she will be in awe of you.
Concubine Yun does not belong to either.
She holds the emperor's heart firmly in her hands.
As long as she remains favored, she can have a place in the harem, and this pillow style is indispensable. .
Therefore, in the harem, the most hateful person is Concubine Yun.
She has the means to win the Sacred Heart, but she still allows the emperor to linger in her palace every day.
Now she has given birth to twelve princes.
Unparalleled in the limelight.
The Queen Mother despises this kind of charming woman the most, so she dislikes Concubine Yun in every possible way.
Coupled with the Queen Mother's favoritism towards Concubine Hui, she is even more disgusted with Concubine Yun, so she simply used this palace banquet to...
Find a goddaughter.
Mu Ziyan was somewhat aware of the conflict between the Queen Mother and Concubine Yun, and she even more suspected that Concubine Yun's death was closely related to the Queen Mother.
Concubine Hui is a member of the Zhong family.
If the Zhong family is to remain strong, then Concubine Hui's position in the harem must be unbreakable.
At that time, Concubine Yun, the twelve princes alone, could compare to Concubine Hui.
It can be seen that even though Concubine Hui was very powerful in the harem, just having no heirs was a fatal blow.
What's more, Concubine Yun possesses not only the Twelve Princes, but also her beauty and ability to charm the Sacred Heart, while Concubine Hui has passed the age of youth and beauty, and indeed has less than Concubine Yun.
Among the women in the harem, which one is not walking on thin ice and which one is not living in loneliness and emptiness?
Concubine Hui was a very patient person.
She spent ten years trying to please the Queen Mother and let her heart rest on her.

Therefore, she was able to become the first of the four concubines even though she had no heirs.
There is an unbreakable position in the harem.
However, this status will eventually be shaken, and Concubine Yun is obviously a major threat to her.
Mu Ziyan thought about it carefully and had some calculations in mind.
That night, as soon as Zhang Zong rested, he heard shouting from outside.
Zhang Zong quickly turned over and saw flames rising to the sky outside the house, "The file room was leaked."
Zhang Zong was shocked and rushed out with his robe on.
He saw that the file room in front of him had been flooded by fire and there was no way to save it.
He stood there shaking with anger, and immediately wanted to rush in, but was stopped by Madam Lu, "You don't want your life?"
"The file room has been destroyed, what else am I going to do with my life?"
Zhang Zong shouted loudly, pushed Madam Lu away, and then rushed in.
Seeing him like this, Mrs.
Lu was so angry that she stamped her feet.
Just as she was about to follow him in, she saw Mu Lingxuan suddenly fall down and then flew into the archives room.
After a while, she rushed out with Zhang Zong on her shoulders.
Turning around and looking at the archives room being submerged in the fire, Madam Lu frowned, "The Zhonghou Mansion goes too far."
"He was choked by the smoke."
Mu Lingxuan quickly put Zhang Zong down and looked up at Madam Lu, "Let him wake up first, and then we can make long-term plans."
"Yes."
Madam Lu squatted half down, and then patted Zhang Zong awake.
Zhang Zong coughed violently and looked up at the government officials carrying water to put out the fire.
After the fire was extinguished, all the files in the entire file room were burned.
Zhang Zong was so angry that he roared, "It's really too much of a lie."
Mu Lingxuan looked at him, "There is no evidence now."
"Damn it."
Zhang Zong punched the charred pillar, raised his eyes, and whispered, "This matter must be reported to the emperor.
It's already early now, and it's time to go to court in the morning."
"Yes."
Mu Lingxuan nodded and returned to Muhou Mansion to prepare.
Zhang Zong turned his eyes and looked at the burned archives room, and went directly to the study with a gloomy face.
Then he wrote furiously and wrote an indignant memorial.
After changing into his official robe, he rode straight to the palace.
Mrs.
Lu ordered people to pack it up and sorted out all the files that could still be used.
After Mu Ziyan got the news, he was not too surprised.
Instead, he smiled faintly and said, "I'm afraid it will be even more lively now."
"Miss, this Zhonghou Mansion is too arrogant."
Biyun thought that the archives room was a forbidden area of Jingzhao Yin Mansion.
If anyone broke in without permission, they would be punished to death, let alone be burned on fire.
"The Zhong family is indeed arrogant."
Mu Ziyan chuckled, "Tonight's palace banquet will definitely be more interesting."
"Miss, I heard that the Queen Mother wants to take advantage of this palace banquet to adopt her granddaughter.
You must be prepared."
Biyun said in a low voice.
"I don't want to take this hot potato."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Mu Ziyan sneered, "You think it's so easy to be the adopted granddaughter of the Queen Mother?"
"If you catch the eye of the Queen Mother, you will definitely be superior to others in the future."
Biyun whispered, "Even the old lady will not dare to trick you easily."
Mu Ziyan said disapprovingly, "I won't join in the fun.
I guess the second sister has that intention, and I will definitely fulfill her wish."
"Miss, if I let the second lady catch my eye, I will be riding on your head in the future," Biyun said bluntly.
Mu Ziyan raised her eyebrows and said, "That depends on whether she has this ability."
"Miss, do you think the Queen Mother already has a candidate?"
Biyun felt that since the Queen Mother wanted to choose her adopted granddaughter, she had to choose the one she wanted.
Mu Ziyan shook her head slightly, "I don't know about that.
I can't guess what the Queen Mother is thinking."
"Miss, the old lady invites you to go to Changsongyuan."
Yunxiang came in at this moment and reported in a low voice.
"Old Madam, if you go, there must be no good things going on."
Biyun muttered from the side.
Mu Ziyan smiled lowly and said, "You told the truth."
Biyun quickly stuck out her tongue and followed Mu Ziyan to Changsongyuan.
Only then did he see that the Qi family was also there.
Not only that, his brother and Mu Lingrui were also there.
Standing beside them were Mu Zixi and Mu Zilan, as well as Aunt Lu.
Mu Ziyan slowly lowered his eyes and lowered his eyes.
With a flash of light, he stepped forward and said, "Granddaughter greets grandma."
"Yan Yatou, you came just in time.
Now that everyone is here, I have to say that the number of heirs in the Muhou Mansion is indeed a little thin.
Now that I am getting older, I naturally want to have children and grandchildren around me.
It's a pity.
I have been unable to do so.
I always feel unwell these days, so I want to find a caring girl to accompany me.
I think Lan girl is good, and from now on, she will move to Changsongyuan.
Stay with me, an old lady."
The old lady said calmly, then raised her hand and held Mu Zilan in her arms, "Mother Lu, Zhang agreed to the adoption earlier, but at this time, There were a lot of things to do in the day, so I was delayed, so I'll just talk about it together today.
Girl Lan is adopted to Mrs.
Zhang.
Today, there is a palace banquet, so Girl Lan will follow me into the palace. " "My granddaughter will take good care of my grandmother."
Mu Zilan did not expect that the old lady would treat her like this.
She was so happy that her childish face was also filled with joy.
She quickly and respectfully looked towards the old lady.
Kneel down and kowtow.
"Girl, you haven't gone to see your eldest sister and second sister yet.
You will go with Aunt Lu to see your mother later."
The old lady looked at Mu Zilan lovingly and said with a smile.
"Yes, my granddaughter has remembered it."
Mu Zilan responded in a low voice, then stood up and walked towards Mu Ziyan first, "Sister."
"Fourth sister, there is no need to be polite."
Mu Ziyan thought, this matter was probably the old lady's own idea, and Mrs.

Zhang might have gone crazy at this moment.
Mu Zixi twisted the handkerchief tightly with her hidden hands in her sleeves.
She did not expect that as soon as she returned to the Marquis Mansion, she would learn such news like a bolt from the blue.
How could this be possible?
She was the only legitimate daughter in the second room.
Why?
I want you, who crawled out of my humble aunt's belly, to be her sister.
She bit her lip tightly and raised her eyes to look at the old lady, only to see her eyes darkened, as if she was warning.
She woke up suddenly and quickly suppressed the jealousy in her heart.
When Mu Zilan came forward, she quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Fourth sister, you and I will be sisters from now on."
"Second sister."
Mu Zilan looked at Mu Zixi and was also moved.
She never thought that one day she would be able to become a legitimate daughter.
This undoubtedly allowed her to get rid of the title of concubine that she could not take off.
The resentment in her heart was less at this moment, and more towards the old lady.
Tears of gratitude.
This is what the old lady wanted, but now her eyes have been fixed on Mu Ziyan.
Mu Ziyan smiled lowly.
She didn't expect that the day had just begun and it would be so exciting.
She looked at Mu Zixi's face that was smiling but uglier than crying with interest.
She turned her eyes and looked again.
He stood there with his head bowed to Aunt Lu, like a stone sculpture.
It is conceivable that if Aunt Lu goes back to tell the news to Mrs.
Zhang, she will definitely go crazy.
Mu Ziyan felt happy just thinking about it.
She raised her eyes and met the old lady's eyes looking directly at her.
She was still smiling lightly, as if it didn't matter to her.
Mu Lingxuan was not surprised, but helped Qi out of Changsongyuan, and then mother and son left alone.
Mu Ziyan would not stay long.
When he reached Mu Zixi's side, he smiled brightly and said, "Congratulations, second sister, you have an extra sister."
This is undoubtedly an irritation to Mu Zixi.
Although she hates Zhang's indifference to her, she does not allow another legitimate daughter to be born.
When she returned to Yuexi Courtyard, she was so angry that she was shaking all over.
She fell down on the soft couch and clutched the silk handkerchief tightly, "I will never allow anyone to step on my head."
Mu Ziyan returned to the courtyard in a happy mood, and Biyun and Yunxiang also had happy faces.
"Miss, if this old lady does this, isn't she worried that Mrs.
Zhang will deny it?"
Biyun asked worriedly after she was happy.
"Ms.
Zhang is crazy.
If she wakes up at this time, wouldn't it be true?"
Mu Ziyan said with a low smile, "It was because of this that the old lady dared to make a private decision to adopt Mu Zilan.
There’s a lot of excitement under her name now.”
Sure enough, Mother Lu returned to the yard and reported the old lady's words to Mrs.
Zhang.

Mrs.
Zhang was so angry that she went crazy on the spot, smashed the furnishings in the room to pieces, and then yelled in anger.
Aunt Lu sighed quietly, "Ginger is still hotter with age."
"Old Qianpo, I have recorded this account."
Zhang said solemnly, then slumped down on the ground with a fierce look in her eyes.
In this room, the Muhou Mansion was bustling with excitement, and the court hall was also very lively.
The archives room of the dignified Jingzhao Yin Mansion was burned down, and someone did it deliberately.
Zhang Zong even knelt on the Jinluan Hall and said righteously that if the person who set the fire was not caught, he would kill himself to apologize.
Emperor Long Yan was furious and ordered a strict investigation into the matter.
After the morning court, Lord Zhong returned to the Zhonghou Mansion angrily.
He immediately rushed into Zhong Xuan's yard, kicked a chair to pieces, pointed at Zhong Xuan and yelled, "Look at you.
Well done.”
Seeing that Mr.
Zhong was so angry, Zhong Xuan just opened her lips slowly, "Father, there is no evidence for this matter.
What else can be found out?
Now that the file room has been burned down, all the evidence of the crime no longer exists.
This is the key." ” Only then did Mr.
Zhong come to his senses and gradually calmed down.
Only then did he feel that he had a guilty conscience.
He coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment.
However, Zhong Xuan took advantage of the opportunity and gave Mr.
Zhong a step forward, "Father, my daughter knows that you are worried about her, so she rushed here in a hurry.
Father, don't worry, there is no trace of this matter.
My daughter will be fine.
Zhong Xuan Mr.
Hou will not be implicated."
When Mr.
Zhonghou saw Zhong Xuan being so calm, the irritability in his heart gradually dissipated.
This was all because so many things had happened in the Zhonghou Mansion in the past few days.
Suddenly, everything seemed to be out of control.
That's why he became so anxious.
Zhong Xuan naturally knew that many unexpected things had happened in the past few days, but they did not affect her big plan, so she looked very calm when she looked at Lord Zhong.
