C85 Aunt Duan Nian

Mrs Miao thought about it and could not suppress the doubt in her heart no matter what. She hesitated and went to Mu Ruqing's courtyard.

Mu Ruqing was in the pavilion preparing tea and her complexion was much better. When she saw Mrs Miao, she hurriedly went over, "Mother really came at the right time. Qing just learned to brew a new type of tea. Mother, come and try it."

"Yes, yes." Mrs Miao's stiff face forcefully pulled the corner of her mouth.

While drinking tea, Mrs Miao's eyes could not leave Mu Ruqing. How could there be someone in this world who was so similar? Could it be that I am being paranoid? But I...

"What's wrong with mother?" Mu Ruqing noticed Mrs Miao's strange behavior and her heart moved as she gently asked, "But this tea does not suit mother's taste?"

"No, I just thought that you are going to get married and I am always reluctant to part with it. I have not heard you play the piano for a long time and wanted to hear it." Mrs Miao smiled awkwardly and put down the teacup.

"Ah, okay. I found a new song a few days ago. Mother can listen to it." Mu Ruqing ordered Lingyue to bring the zither over. Her tender and white hands were placed on the strings of the zither as she immersed herself in it and played it leisurely.

Mrs Miao only listened carefully and did not make a sound. Instead, the doubts in her heart that were originally lessened increased and the movements of her fingers when holding the zither were different.

When the song ended, Mrs Miao could not help but praise, "Qing's zither skills have improved again. I just want to listen to the first song that I personally taught you when I was a child."

"Zheng!" Mu Ruqing's hand tightened and broke the strings. How would she know which song the first song was? Her eyes nervously looked at Lingyue who was beside her. Lingyue lowered her head and lightly shook it, indicating that she did not know either.

Lingyue was chosen by Mu Ruqing when she was eight or nine years old to serve Mu Ruqing. She naturally did not know about what happened before and also did not know what Mrs Miao was referring to.

Mu Ruqing forcefully tidied up her facial expression. Since that was the case, she could only decline with guilt, "It is all my fault that my daughter was careless and broke the zither..."

"No matter. Just go and get another one." Mrs Miao saw the small movements of the master and servant and became more and more anxious.

Mu Ruqing saw Mrs Miao like this and secretly thought that it was not good. She was suspicious and gritted her teeth. Her fingers fiercely scraped on the strings and the blood that flowed out immediately dyed her fingers red.

"What is going on?" Although Mrs Miao was worried, she did not make any big moves.

Lingyue quickly came up and used a handkerchief to wipe the blood on Mu Ruqing's fingers. Mu Ruqing looked at Lingyue's actions and turned her head to comfort Mrs Miao, "My daughter is fine. It was just that her skin was cut by that zither string. I am afraid that today she will not be able to play it for mother to hear..."

Mrs Miao thought for a while and pulled her finger over and gently blew, "Why are you so careless? Quickly let the physician come and take a look."

"There is no need. It will be fine in a while. Furthermore, there is still medicine in the room. Just rub it on later." Mu Ruqing looked at her and pursed her lips with a smile.

"Lingyue, quickly help Qing to wipe the medicine!" Mrs Miao instructed and patted Mu Ruqing's hand. With a loving manner, she said, "You should rest first. There are still matters that have yet to be settled in the residence. Come and see my obedient daughter tomorrow."

"Okay, mother do not work too hard." Mu Ruqing sent Mrs Miao out with her eyes. Her expression became serious as she pinched her bleeding fingers and said with unease, "Lingyue, she is suspicious."

"Miss, what should we do next?" Lingyue also became worried. If she was discovered, it would be a capital offense.

"Let's go to the temple tonight." Mu Ruqing looked at the blood-stained handkerchief with cold eyes, "Now we can only rely on ourselves."

"Okay, I will go down and prepare now." Lingyue lifted her leg and was about to leave when Mu Ruqing pulled her hand. Lingyue bent over and Mu Ruqing whispered a few more words before letting her go. Her eyes were deep as she looked in the direction where Mrs Miao left.

Mrs Miao returned to the room and sat on the chair. She was at a loss and did not know where to place her hand. Qing, is it you or not? Why do you not know which song it is? And you deliberately cut your hand?

"Madam, Miss Liu is here." servant girl lowered her head and reported.

"Yes." Mrs Miao came back to her senses and nodded.

Not long after, Lau Fenglan came in and blessed herself. She sat by the side and said, "Aunt, do you have a grudge in your heart? "

"What evidence do you have?" Mrs Miao naturally did not want to admit that she suspected her daughter.

"Come up!" Lau Fenglan turned her head to look outside the door and called out. A servant girl walked in with her head lowered.

"Raise your head to let aunt take a look." Lau Fenglan walked to servant girl's side and placed her hand on her shoulder.

Servant girl slowly raised her head. Under the pink suit skirt, there was a face of forty to fifty years. The eye sockets were deep and the wrinkles were obvious. She pulled her loose face and put her hands together and said respectfully, "This poor nun greets madam."

"You... Who are you?" Mrs Miao pointed at her in shock.

"Punk Ni is a broken thought in Mo'an Temple because he saw some things in the temple more than a year ago. She was secretly harmed by the people in the temple. Fortunately, this poor nun escaped and hid for a long time. In order to tell the truth to the world, he had to live a life of his own. " Duan Nian closed his eyes. His words were sincere and sincere, and his opened eyes were filled with righteousness.

"Aunt, this was saved by Fenglan when she was recuperating outside. Later on, she found out about what happened in Mo'an Temple." Lau Fenglan's expression was serious, "Fenglan was afraid that Duan Nian's aunt's whereabouts would be exposed and she would attract a fatal disaster, so she let aunt hide by Fenglan's side."

"What happened in the temple?" Mrs Miao thought about it. Wasn't it the time when Mu Ruqing wanted to return to the manor a year ago? Then she noticed something and stared at Lau Fenglan with a dignified face, "How do I know if you are the aunt of Mo'an Temple? What if someone else comes to confuse us?"

"Madam, don't worry. When the young lady of the mansion first went, the poor nun was just beside her. At that time, the young lady was still young and was not used to it. Madam accompanied the young lady for half a month before leaving." Thoughtless' hand was still on the table. "I still remember that the young lady fell because she was too playful. Her head was knocked on the stairs and there was a bloody wound on her head. At that time... It was the one I treated Miss. The scar was at the back of her head. "

"Then tell me, what happened more than a year ago? " Mrs Miao landed heavily on the chair and asked grimly.

"At that time, the young lady's illness did not seem to have gotten better. Imperial Physician Gu started to treat her once every five days. It became three days to one consultation, and then another day to one consultation. Let me ask you, if the young lady had really gotten better, why would the number of consultations increase? During that period of time, Master King Chu often came to visit, and he even brought along a thin and small servant."

" Master King Chu has something to do with this? "

"Half a month ago when the young lady returned to the mansion. The poor nun clearly remembered that the young lady could not get out of bed, and Master King Chu had also stayed in the temple for a few days. That day, it was already the third night. When the poor nun woke up at night, in a trance, she saw that the light in the young lady's room was still on, and wondered what might have happened. She wanted to ask. Before he arrived, he saw a few men in black carrying something out. Use it! Bai Lian. Cover it, it looks like a coffin..."

"What did you say?" Mrs Miao could not believe it and became angry. She threw the teacup in her hand in front of Duan Nian.

Duan Nian was shocked and his body shrank. Lau Fenglan stood out, "Aunt, don't be anxious. At first, I also did not dare to believe it. However, Aunt Duan Nian had just said that there should be a scar on Big Sister's head. But after being with big sister for so many days, she didn't even answer when she asked big sister a different way. Perhaps it was because she didn't know about this matter. After all, she isn't the real Fourth Miss. "

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Mrs Miao looked fiercely at Lau Fenglan with a hint of ruthlessness.

"Aunt, don't be anxious. Let aunt finish speaking." Lau Fenglan was not afraid of her as she lowered her eyebrows and smiled innocently.

"After that... I saw the servant beside the prince walk out of the young lady's room. The poor nun was shocked and did not dare to disturb Master King Chu. She looked and checked out. She did not sleep for the whole night, so she thought that the poor nun had seen wrongly. The next day, she received news that the young lady was in good health, and the poor nun rushed over to take a look. The young lady's expression was indeed not the same as before. She found an opportunity to speak to the young lady. Her voice was also somewhat different. When the Royal Highness left, the servant beside him was a full circle bigger than before. " Duan Nian spoke in a trembling voice, afraid that Mrs Miao would not believe him. He said that she lied and locked her up.

"Then why did she come back for so many days and this madam did not notice the difference in her voice?" Mrs Miao furrowed her brows and her facial features were knitted together due to anger.

"You can learn to speak, but why did Aunt want to make things difficult for Fenglan here? Why don't you go and see if there are any scars on elder sister's head with your own eyes?" Lau Fenglan bowed and said firmly.

Mrs Miao coldly snorted and entered the room, leaving the two of them in the main hall.
