C72 Liu Fenglan Returned to the Prime Minister's Residence
Yu Longzi returned to his chambers and Mu Ruxuan came to help him change his clothes in the formal dress of the prince.
Mu Ruxuan's complexion was not bad. Marrying the person that she liked should be the wish of all the women in the world, right?
"Your Highness, you have been tired for the whole day. Have dinner?" Mu Ruxuan hung up her clothes and asked in a considerate manner.
"I am fine, but you have been waiting for me for so long." Yu Longzi's tone only softened a little, but his expression did not change much.
"This is what I should do." Mu Ruxuan's eyebrows curved up.
Yu Longzi smiled and wrapped his arm around her waist. The servant quietly retreated and closed the door.
Mu Ruqing had her back to him, but Yu Longzi could not reach out and grab her. Mu Ruqing called out and slowly turned around to look at him. Her smile was like a flower, mesmerizing his eyes. Was it true that the more he could not obtain it, the more he wanted it? As he thought about it, Yu Longzi frowned and woke up. He looked at the person lying beside him. So it was a dream just now. The desire in his heart became stronger. The conversation between Yu Longchen and Yu Longtang had brought her along. It was naturally impossible for her to not make the next move.
Looking at the bed tent and thinking about the matters of the Lee family, that was all arranged by him. If he only relied on Lee Yuening, he wouldn't be able to split the two of them. servant girl, who was close to Lee Yuening, was his subordinate, and the drug was also arranged by him.
Mu Ruqing was smart, so she wanted to do something right under her nose. servant girl, who was at the corner, and her nervous expression were all fake. There was no medicine in the wine. But if Mu Ruqing saw it, she would definitely suspect that there was medicine in the wine. Then she would put the antidote in. Yu Longzi could not be sure about this, so he could only gamble. He could not completely sow discord between them. It was not bad to ruin Yu Longchen's reputation.
Mu Ruqing did not disappoint him. It was as he had expected. At this time, Yu Longchen came out of the study. He had to take care of that period of time to let him see Mu Ruqing's actions.
If the sedative came from a new source, this medicine would be placed in the water. He would soak the container for a few more days, then no matter what it was, he would not care. There would always be sedative inside, and there was nothing that could cure it. Mu Ruqing and Yu Longchen had soaked in both cups, so it was the same whether they changed or not.
There was an inner sect room in the room, and they went in from there to another room. Mu Ruqing did not like to meddle in other people's business, and she thought that Lee Yuening wanted to go with her. Naturally, she did not think that the room next to her was Yu Longchen.
Yu Longzi's calculations were very accurate. After figuring out the characteristics of the two people's personalities, this matter would naturally come to an end.
Yu Longchen was grounded. Seeing that he had openly recruited servant girl, he knew that his scheme had taken effect.
Servant girl, who was planted in the station, received news that Lee Yuening was ill yesterday. The doctor said that she had caught a cold. Now that Lee Yuening was useless and did not need to care about her situation, Yu Longzi threw her to the side.
As he thought about it, he saw Mu Ruqing's face again...
Ever since Yuan Zhen came back that day, he had never left his room. He stayed inside all day long. On the other hand, Miao Yingyu was with Mu Ruqing every day. Xiangyi felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Miao Yingyu. It was not that she was ignoring her. It was just that she rolled her eyes and looked at her. Every word she said was full of thorns. Every time Mu Ruqing talked about her, she answered first and then did not change.
Mu Ruqing was angry and wanted to belittle her but Miao Yingyu instead pleaded for her. Xiangyi could only whisper sourly, "Who wants your fake good intentions?"
In just a few days, Xiangyi's stomach was already in a mess. From the perspective of the government doctor, if it was not because she ate badly, she would not be able to find the cause. Just like that, she was in pain for a few days and became more haggard. Her skin was sallow and after resting for a few days, she mysteriously recovered again.
In the afternoon, the two of them were eating afternoon tea. eldest servant girl Liu'er, who was beside Mrs Miao, came to tell her that Lau Fenglan had returned.
Mu Ruqing had secretly investigated Liu'er for a long time and there was not a single flaw. Nian-er was the same. The matter of the protective talisman was hanging by a thread.
But why did Lau Fenglan come back? Mu Ruqing was puzzled and went into the old lady's house. Lau Fenglan was lying in the old lady's arms crying. The old lady also had tears in her eyes.
Mu Po, Mrs Miao and Mistress Ling were all there and also had a worried look.
"Father, what happened?" Mu Ruqing came to their side and asked in a low voice.
"It is a long season this year. The floods in the south are serious. Jiangzhou is the first region to be affected. Fenglan's parents were involved in the flood to arrange for the residents of Jiangxian County to take refuge. Until now, their whereabouts are unknown. " Mu Po's expression was solemn, and his sadness was evident in his words, "Fenglan has no family other than us..."
When Mu Ruqing heard this, she went forward and patted Lau Fenglan's back, comforting her, "The dead have passed. Aunt and aunt's spirit in heaven will definitely protect you. Don't cry and spoil your own body."
"What Qing said is that the Prime Minister Estate is your home." The old lady hugged her and her voice was hard to swallow.
"The courtyard has been arranged and is just beside Qing. The two of you sisters can take care of each other." Mrs Miao wiped her tears and also walked up to pat her back to comfort her.
Lau Fenglan left the embrace of the old lady and used a handkerchief to gently wipe her red and swollen eyes and red nose. One by one, she blessed her body, "Thank you grandmother, uncle and aunt, sister."
"What are you saying? We are a family, so we should take care of each other." Mu Ruqing helped her up and said intimately, "We are also sad about this day. We will go down first and let grandmother take her time."
"Yes." Lau Fenglan sobbed a few times and knelt down to the old lady, "Grandmother, Fenglan will go down first and come back to see grandmother tomorrow."
"Okay. My son, you should rest well. " The old lady pinched her hand and her heart relaxed a little. Mrs Miao and Mu Po helped her back.
Mu Ruqing pulled Lau Fenglan to the new courtyard. Mistress Ling was only a spectator but her expression was sad. Seeing that the people had left, she also left.
On the way to the courtyard, Mu Ruqing did not speak and only pulled Lau Fenglan's hand and did not let go.
"Elder sister, it was Fenglan's fault in the past. I hope elder sister does not remember." Lau Fenglan's watery eyes looked at Mu Ruqing and was full of apology.
"What did younger sister say? Now that Sister Xuan is married, there are only us two sisters in the family. We should take care of each other." Mu Ruqing wiped her tears and said gently.
"Fenglan thanks Big Sister." Lau Fenglan wanted to bow and Mu Ruqing quickly pulled her back, "What is younger sister doing? Us sisters do not need these empty bows."
Lau Fenglan lowered her head and nodded. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the new courtyard. The standard was about the same as Mu Ruqing's. There was a small garden in front of the door. The long corridor led to a room. There were three rooms. There were two ears beside the room, and there was a small kitchen in the east.
Mu Ruqing pulled her into the middle of the room. The room was covered with a light green veil. On the right side was a yellow rosewood couch, beside it was a dressing table and there was a huge bronze mirror. On the stage, there was a box filled with jewelry. On the left was a bamboo screen, and there was a desk inside. The brushes, ink, and inkstones were all matching, and there were books on the bookshelf. There was a zither inside. It was a gift from Mu Ruqing. On the other side of the shelf, there were all kinds of decorative items that were dazzling.
When they entered, there was a set of sandalwood tables, chairs, and a good quality white jade teacup. Mu Ruqing pulled her to sit at the table, "This is your courtyard. Do you like it?"
Lau Fenglan squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying and choked, "I like it. Fenglan thanks uncle and aunt."
"Don't say such words again! Otherwise, father and mother would not be happy. Your courtyard is very close to mine, so the two of us sisters can get together. "
" Alright. " Lau Fenglan pursed her lips and held her hand.
"You are also tired. Have a good rest. I will be leaving first." Mu Ruqing comforted him a few more times before leaving her courtyard.
Lau Fenglan sent her out and carefully looked at her own courtyard. Her heart was filled with unknown emotions. She sent me out for a few months. Only after my parents left did she remember to bring me back. Giving me such a good courtyard, are you trying to compensate me?
Mu Ruqing returned to her own courtyard and Lingyue brought dinner over. Xiangyi who was at the side had a sad expression, "Miss, Miss Liu is quite capable."
"Indeed, it is just that she might not think that way. When she was with me, if it was you, would you still remember those things when you heard the bad news?" Mu Ruqing ate and pointed at a dish with her chopsticks. " This is not bad. Ask the kitchen to send one to her."
"Okay." Lingyue thought for a while and left.
