Chapter 61 Review

This, how is this possible?

Although Mu Qingyin was nominally the old lady's granddaughter, everyone knew that she was just a concubine's daughter and had no bloodline of the Kuang family at all.

How could she see the similarities between her and the old lady? The more Sister Li looked, the more frightened she became. She tried her best to convince herself that she was seeing things, but she couldn't help comparing Mu Qingyin's current appearance with the other young ladies in the Kuang Mansion.

Finally, she was surprised to find that the "second cousin" in front of her actually seemed to be more like the old lady when she was young than the proper young ladies of the Kuang Mansion and the old lady's granddaughters. This, this sister-in-law Li was completely shocked by the idea that popped up in her mind. She stared at Mu Qingyin blankly, unable to say anything, with only deep indescribable eyes.

Mu Qingyin had long expected Sister Li's strange reaction. How could she not know that her current outfit looked very much like her grandmother when she was young?

Sister Li was an old lady who served her grandmother. When she saw her for the first time, even though she looked like her grandmother, she would still subconsciously ignore this point because of her previous preconception.

But as long as she pretended not to know her and reminded her to take a closer look, she would be able to discard her previous impression and re-examine her.

In this way, wouldn't the things she had originally overlooked become extremely obvious again? Now Sister Li's reaction was indeed as she expected.

Thinking of Li Saozi's loyalty to her grandmother and her "great favor" in saving Li Saozi's son, even if she was uncertain, according to Li Saozi's personality, she would take the risk to tell her grandmother about it.

Mu Qingyin knew that once her grandmother found out about this, she would definitely start an investigation as long as she had any suspicions.

As long as she took the initiative to investigate, no matter how perfect Song Yimei and Chen Lianniang had done things back then, it would not be perfect.

Seeing that she didn't need to do anything else, and that she was getting closer and closer to recognizing her relatives, Mu Qingyin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her mood couldn't help but become happy.

However, she remained calm, instead she smiled bitterly and said, "I knew my sister-in-law had recognized the wrong person.

My sister-in-law is serving the old lady of the Kuang Mansion. The second cousin you mentioned must also be a noble lady. She is probably very wealthy and has people protecting her. How could she appear in the mountains inexplicably like me and have a head injury?"

"."

Seeing Mu Qingyin's gloomy look, Mrs. Li couldn't help but feel distressed.

She was so upset that she couldn't hide her distress. But she didn't know how to say comforting words to Mu Qingyin.

The villain in her heart was now divided into two camps arguing endlessly. One told her aggressively that she did not recognize the wrong person; the other swore that she had actually recognized the wrong person.

Therefore, being cautious by nature, she couldn't say any words of comfort to Mu Qingyin at this moment.

She was afraid that she might have made a mistake. Wouldn't that mean she had good intentions but ended up doing something bad, giving her lifesaver hope, only to have her hope ruthlessly shattered in the end?

This is too cruel - Mrs. Li believes that she would never do such a thing of repaying kindness with enmity. She was so anxious that her face turned red, but she couldn't squeeze out a word.

Chapter 62 Entrustment

"Sister-in-law, don't be like this. I appreciate your concern for me."

Taking Sister Li's hand, Mu Qingyin smiled and comforted her with understanding: "I'm not greedy. I already have a master who treats me like his own daughter. Even if I can't find my relatives, I don't care that much."

".Don't be discouraged, girl. Good people will always be rewarded."

Looking at Mu Qingyin with a complicated expression, although Sister Li no longer called her "Second Cousin" this time, she was determined to mention this matter to the old lady when she returned to the Kuang Mansion.

Even if it turns out in the end that I was wrong, I wouldn't care about the huge mistake I made and the loss of face I had suffered for many years.

Having made up her mind, Mrs. Li suddenly felt eager to return home.

She took Mu Qingyin's hand and stuffed the jewelry box and the purse of banknotes she brought into her hands, saying sincerely, "I don't need to thank you for your kindness.

"The young lady has saved my boy, and although these material things cannot replace the kindness, these are still my thoughts, so please do not refuse them."

If she had been sure today that the person in front of her was her "second cousin", Mrs. Li would definitely not have insisted on giving her the things and banknotes.

Because in her opinion, although the second cousin was only the concubine of Yuejiang Marquis, she could still be considered her master. She had no reason to thank her master with jewelry and banknotes.

But now, she really couldn't confirm whether the person in front of her was related to the Kuang Mansion and the old lady as she thought. She couldn't avoid the gratitude she deserved, so she gave the things very resolutely.

Seeing that Mu Qingyin seemed to be about to refuse, she hurriedly said before she could speak: "Speaking of which, I still have to shamelessly ask the young lady for something. If the young lady doesn't accept these, I dare not ask for it."

She looked helpless and sad as she shed tears again. She choked up and said to Mu Qingyin, "Miss, you also know that the man in my family is a cruel person. He even..."

When she brought up the sad story again, Li Saozi's tears fell more and more fiercely. She held Mu Qingyin's hand tightly, as if she was holding a life-saving straw, and looked at her hopefully and said, "Tell me, how can I dare to take Yun'er back now?"

".So, what does sister-in-law mean?"

Looking at Sister Li, and then at Wang Chengyun who was looking depressed and deeply shocked with his head down, Mu Qingyin seemed to hesitate for a moment and asked hesitantly.

"Don't be afraid of being laughed at by the girl, my man is unreliable. In fact, even my mother's family may not be that reliable. Over the years, I have been with the old lady in the Kuang Mansion, and I have learned a little bit about judging people.

To be frank, my family members see that I can make some money, but just like my husband's family, they are all after my money. I am really scared now, so how can I entrust my son to them? "

With a deep sigh, Sister Li said with a bitter face: "In fact, even if my family is reliable, I still wouldn't dare to take the risk of entrusting Yun'er to them.

I was afraid that if I entrusted my son to them, the secret would inevitably leak out. I don't know if that cruel and ruthless person in my family would come back and sell my son again.

After all, he is Yun'er's biological father. If he wants to sell his son openly, no one can stop him, unless my Yun'er has achieved fame. So I still want to ask the young lady, can you let my Yun'er stay here for a while, and ask the young lady to help me take care of him?"

Chapter 63: Indenture

"This is just a trivial matter, a piece of cake. Since sister-in-law believes in me, then let Chengyun stay. Sister-in-law doesn't have to ask for anything."

Without hesitation, Mu Qingyin nodded and agreed to Li's request, and kindly said, "I heard that there is also a scholar named Li in this village who has opened a private school. If you are willing, you can let Chengyun go."

She raised the brocade box and purse in her hand and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, please don't bother me about the tuition for the private school. To be honest, I feel guilty for accepting such a large thank-you gift from you."

"What are you talking about, young lady? These are just material possessions. How can they compare to the fact that you saved my life?"

Mrs. Li sighed and said, "I lost my health when I gave birth to Yun'er, so I can only have him in this life. To be honest, I don't dare to think about it at all. What should I do if something happens to him? Will he still be alive? The girl has saved the lives of both us mother and son."

However, despite saying so, Mrs. Li did not insist on paying the tuition for Wang Chengyun to study in private school.

She bowed to Mu Qingyin carefully and said, "Miss, such a big thing happened in my family. After all, I work for our old lady, and it is impossible to hide this from her.

So I won't stay any longer, and I have to go back and tell her as soon as possible. After I go back and tell the old lady, I'll ask for leave and bring some writing brushes, inkstones, and paper for Yun'er."

"Since you don't want your husband to know that your Chengyun has been found, then don't go buy any more paper, ink, brush, and inkstone. Otherwise, if you happen to be caught, wouldn't all your efforts be wasted, and he might find you again?"

Shaking her head, Mu Qingyin said, "I also use the pen, ink, paper and inkstone myself on a daily basis. Even Xiaolian and Shuangcheng beside me are literate and have prepared these and have extra. There is no need to buy more for the time being."

She smiled and said, "Not only is sister-in-law going back to the capital, Xiaolian and I should go back too. Sister-in-law might as well come with us. We will send sister-in-law to the Kuang Mansion first."

After a pause, fearing that Sister Li would worry about Wang Chengyun, she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry that Chengyun will be in danger here. I have already bought this small courtyard. In fact, I also bought a few acres of land in this village and asked someone to take care of it."

Mu Qingyin explained: "It's not easy to buy a manor in the suburbs of Beijing even if you have money. But I like quietness and don't like to stay in the capital all the time, so I can only give up.

I bought a few acres of scattered land in this village closest to the capital. I can grow some food, fruits and vegetables to be self-sufficient, and I can also relax in my spare time.

But this place is in the suburbs of Beijing after all, and it is not as safe as living in the capital. So in addition to buying two maids to help with the work, I also specially found two strong servants. From now on, I will let one of them stay with Chengyun and serve him. "

As she spoke, Mu Qingyin gently instructed Xiaolian, and then reached out to take out a piece of paper from her purse and handed it to Sister Li. Sister Li subconsciously took it and saw that it was a contract of sale.

Her heart moved and she looked at Mu Qingyin.

Mu Qingyin nodded: "This is someone I found specially, and his loyalty is guaranteed. Although he is young, he is very strong and has learned a few simple boxing and kicking moves.

With such a reliable person around, Cheng Yun will not be sold out again in the future. If anyone wants to mess with him again, at least they can make some noise instead of doing it quietly. "

Chapter 64: Peace of Mind

Although it was Wang Chun who sold out Wang Chengyun this time, he did not dare to do it too blatantly so as to be discovered by Li's wife. So when kidnapping people, Wang Chun did not dare to show up himself.

Wang Chengyun said that he had never asked his servant to buy any candied haws at that time. It was his servant who gave him a piece of the snack. After he ate it, he became dazed and when he woke up, he found himself in the hands of a human trafficker.

In the end, if Mu Qingyin and Shuangcheng hadn't arrived and gnashed their teeth, they would have bought Wang Chengyun, who was specially instructed to sell him far away to the capital, at a price many times higher.

He had already been sent out of the capital, and it was hard to say whether he would be able to come back to see his mother in this life.

If he had not personally experienced such a thing, heard the story from the trafficker, and saw with his own eyes the name written by Wang Chun on his indenture contract, which was twisted like an earthworm, Wang Chengyun simply could not believe that his biological father could be so cruel to him. So Wang Chengyun guessed that in addition to Wang Chun, his traitorous servant must have played a very important role in selling him.

In the end, it was because his servant was too unreliable. In name, he was his servant, but in reality, he was a distant relative of the Wang family and had no indenture to the Wang family.

Without a contract of sale, he would not be subject to the control of the Wang family, so the servant boy usually played tricks and played tricks. This time, he only pretended to be panicked after "losing" the "young master". He was not afraid that Sister Li would really come after him. So he betrayed without any burden and without hesitation.

If he had the indenture in the hands of Mrs. Li, the situation would be very different.

The laws of Dazhao not only allowed masters to have the power of life and death over their slaves without asking for the reason, but also the government pursued escaped slaves with great force, and once they were caught, the punishment was also very severe.

Therefore, if Li Saozi had the indenture of Wang Chengyun's servant, he might not have the guts to sell his master even if he had ten thousand guts.

Therefore, at this moment, Mu Qingyin's act of selling her indenture contract made Mrs. Li and Wang Chengyun feel relieved and moved.

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness, young lady."

Holding the thin paper, it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. Mrs. Li was so moved by Mu Qingyin's thoughtfulness that she almost shed tears. After this incident, she really felt worried and afraid of the people around her son.

It has to be said that Mu Qingyin's action instantly increased her liking for her tenfold.

Carefully put away the indenture.

Mrs. Li soon saw with her own eyes the man Xiaolian had specially called over, who was now her son's personal attendant. He was tall and strong, with a simple and honest face. The so-called strong man was actually able to lift the stone mill weighing more than 100 kilograms in the yard and walk around twice without breathing. His name was Dali. This year, he was only a 14-year-old boy. She was extremely surprised.

"This strength is really great, is it natural?"

She looked Dali up and down with satisfaction. When she saw him grinning shyly and nodding "yes", Mrs. Li also smiled.

Ran generously took out two strings of 100 copper coins from his pocket to reward Dali. Sister Li said, "Take good care of Yun'er in the future. I won't treat you unfairly."

"I got it. From now on, I will follow you wherever you go. I promise that I will never let you be captured again." Holding the two strings of copper coins, Dali's smile widened and he nodded repeatedly, obviously looking very surprised.

Wang Chengyun was also very surprised, and his eyes were full of surprise when he looked at Dali. Thinking that he would have such a strong man by his side to protect him in the future, he immediately felt relieved and grinned.

Chapter 65 Crying

Mrs. Li, who finally no longer had to worry about her son getting into trouble again, had a smile on her face all the way back to the capital with Mu Qingyin and Xiaolian, the master and servant.

After getting off the carriage at the back alley of the Kuang Mansion, Mrs. Li stood there until the carriage drove away and disappeared before turning around and entering the Kuang Mansion.

As soon as she entered the mansion, she quickened her pace and headed straight for Old Lady Kuang's yard.

Seeing Sister Li coming over, Yugui and Yumei, who were standing guard at the door, couldn't help but blink in surprise. Yumei asked quietly, "Sister Li, why did you come from home so early today?"

According to Li's habit, shouldn't she come back at noon? Why did she come back early today? And even if she came back early, she wouldn't come to see the old lady right away?

"Did something happen?"

Yugui's eyes were sharp, and she immediately noticed that Li's face looked a little off, and she looked very haggard. There were bloodshot eyes, and she looked like she hadn't slept all night.

Her expression suddenly became serious and she looked at Mrs. Li with worry.

"Nothing, something happened at my home." Mrs. Li sighed and said sadly without denying, "I want to see the old lady, please inform her."

"Okay, the ladies and young ladies in the mansion have just left, and there is no one in the old lady's room at the moment. Wait, I'll go ask."

This was not the place to talk and it was not appropriate to ask too many questions. Yugui looked at Mrs. Li worriedly, whispered something, and then lifted the door curtain and went into the house.

After a while, she came out and opened the curtain while whispering to Mrs. Li: "The old lady wants you to come in."

"Thank you, Miss Yugui." Before entering the house, Sister Li did not forget to say thank you in a low voice.

"What happened? What happened?"

Seeing that Li Saozi had come in, she knelt down at her feet and cried without saying anything. Old Madam Kuang, who was wearing a purple-gray thin silk embroidered shirt with large sleeves and sitting under the south window listening to the maid reading beside her, was startled.

"Madam, I'm afraid I can no longer serve you from now on. I beg you to show me grace and let me go." Sister Li cried without caring about her manners. As soon as she opened her mouth, people could feel the deep despair in her voice.

"Let's talk it out. Don't confuse me like this. I don't know what happened. Is it possible that the sky is falling?"

When she heard that things were so serious that Li Saozi was about to resign, Madam Kuang's face changed. She sat up straight and said sternly, "Even if the sky falls, I will still be there to hold it up for you, right?"

"Old Madam, the sky is almost falling for this servant of mine."

While sobbing, Sister Li said aggrievedly: "You don't know, when I returned home yesterday, before I even had time to settle down among my family, my head of the household told me that my son had been kidnapped."

"What? There's such a thing? Have you found it?"

When she heard that Mrs. Li had such great potential and could pass the examination at such a young age, and the teacher even guaranteed that she would pass the examination and become a student with a 90% chance of success, the old lady was very worried because her only lifeline was lost.

She couldn't help but stare at Li's wife in reproach, "You usually seem to be smart in handling things, why are you so confused at such a critical moment?

Why didn't you know that you should have come back and told me yesterday so that I could have asked someone to help you look for it overnight? You're only telling me now. It's already been a whole night. If you still haven't found it, this person would have run off to who knows where. It's too late to say anything."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 66: Straightforward

Madam Kuang was so anxious that she stood up.

She was anxious, and several servants in the room couldn't help but look over, showing expressions of pity, pity and anxiety to Mrs. Li, but due to the rules, no one dared to speak casually.

"No, your son is already seven or eight years old, and there are people following him. This is the capital city, he was walking on the street in broad daylight, how could he be kidnapped by kidnappers?"

"I dare not let the old lady worry too much. My son is fine now." Sister Li was afraid that the old lady would really get anxious and angry, so she quickly told her the result.

Seeing that the old lady was obviously relieved and sat back, she dared to wipe her tears and continued: "When I heard about it yesterday, my first thought was to go back to the mansion to find you, but as soon as I rushed out of the house, I was grabbed by someone--"

After carefully telling the story of how Wang Chun sold his son in order to take a concubine, but deliberately lied to her that his son was abducted by a kidnapper, and how his son was lucky enough to be rescued by Mu Qingyin and her servant, Sister Li cried even harder.

Gritting her teeth, Sister Li said fiercely: "It is said that 'the husband is the leader of the wife, filial piety comes first, and the son should not criticize the father's faults'. I couldn't sleep the whole night last night. I was scared the whole night and thought about it carefully the whole night.

It turned out that I had no way to deal with the ruthless Wang Chun.

Even if I were to sacrifice my dignity and endure being beaten with ten boards and then go to the government office to sue him, I would not be able to stop him from doing anything to Cheng Yun with the word "filial piety" in the future.

If he has evil intentions again and wants to sell Chengyun even at the risk of breaking up with me, no matter if it is me or my son Chengyun, we can only watch helplessly and cannot stop him. "

She wiped away the tears that were growing more and more, her eyes showing determination.

"Have you figured out what to do?" She waved her hand, signaling the waiters in the room to leave. Old Madam Kuang was very experienced. How could she not see what Li's wife was thinking? She looked solemn, and looked at Li's wife thoughtfully.

"yes."

Sister Li nodded heavily, raised her head and looked directly at Madam Kuang, tears could not be stopped and flowed out again but she did not wipe them away, as if she had made up her mind and said: "I have thought about it, and I have saved some money over the years.

In addition to the thank-you gift for Miss Li, I still have two thousand silver coins in my hand. I have made up my mind to use this silver coin to find someone to break his legs and make him disabled. From now on, he will have to eat, drink, defecate and urinate in bed. He will not be able to raise a son again.

If I can keep this a secret, I will serve him wholeheartedly for the rest of my life as atonement. If I can't keep this secret, I will kill myself before this matter is spread.

Anyway, he is useless and cannot have another son in this life. Even if I die, I will not be afraid that he will dare to harm my son again in the future."

After saying this, Sister Li cried and laughed: "Old Madam, you have been doing good deeds all your life, and you have been compassionate to the poor and the weak. I am able to serve you because of the good deeds I have accumulated in my previous life.

Now that I have such evil thoughts, how can I still serve the old lady? So I want to choose someone to teach her the little skills I have. When she learns it and someone can continue to serve the old lady, I will ask the old lady to let me go back.

I really have no other choice. If I don't treat Wang Chun cruelly, I don't know when he will treat my son cruelly again. I am not afraid of death, but I can't watch him harm my son for the rest of his life. "

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 67 Leave this to me

"."

After a long silence, Madam Kuang looked at Sister Li with a complicated expression. Sister Li's heart was beating fast. She finally sighed and said, "You can't be blamed for this. Even rabbits bite when they are angry, let alone humans."

She sighed again, and then changed her face to a stern look: "If you are wrong, it is because you met the wrong person. Never mind, this is what he deserves.

After all, you are doing this for your son, you are a loving mother, you can't be considered to have any evil thoughts. You say, how can we promote good without eliminating evil?

But it's not appropriate for you to take the money and hire someone to do this. How can people outside be so easy to use? If you are not careful, you will be retaliated. Just leave this matter to me, at least I can find a reliable person to do it. "

As she spoke, Old Lady Kuang looked at Sister Li and soothed her, "But don't worry about this. Since your son is fine now, just pretend you know nothing. I'll give you a few days off. You can cry and be as sad as you want in front of outsiders.

Don't stop him from marrying someone off. Let him marry her off first. There's only one thing you have to do. You'd better spend more money than give in. You must make her sign the contract.

Since they have been in love for a long time, if you help them, wouldn't it also mean that Wang Chun will have someone who truly loves him and will serve him wholeheartedly for the rest of his life?"

"Old lady."

With eyes wide open, when Sister Li finally reacted and understood what Old Lady Kuang said, she couldn't help but crawl forward on her knees to hug Old Lady Kuang's thighs, crying silently and shaking her head vigorously: "No, no, I can't let you ruin your reputation for me."

"Bullshit fame."

Madam Kuang curled her lips in disdain and cursed, "You've been with me for so many years, when have you ever seen me care about that empty stuff? We didn't do anything wrong, 'repay kindness tenfold, and repay hatred a hundredfold', what's wrong with that?"

"But, but this is my own business. I can't let you get your hands dirty." Sister Li still shook her head.

"Alright, alright, where is your decisiveness from those days?"

Madam Kuang glanced at her sideways and said, "Back then, facing those bandits who didn't take human life seriously, you had the guts to hide me behind a tree without a second thought, wearing my clothes without a care, and even deliberately making a noise to lure them away. What? Now you're scared over such a small matter, and you're still hesitating and indecisive?"

"That's different. The old lady is my master, and she has given me and my family a new life. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know where my parents and my family ended up, and how could we have settled down in the capital? So that's what I should do."

Mrs. Li blushed and said, "That is the duty of a servant. You can't use it to threaten the old lady."

"Alright, alright, what's the point of coercion or not. You are a good person in every way, except that you are a little too cautious. You are stupid for keeping your duty.

If someone else encounters such a thing, they would not talk about it all day long, for fear that others would not know about it. At least a few words would be spread out, so that everyone would know that you have done a favor to your master, and you can have some face in the outside world.

You are so good. Over the years, not to mention our family, I am afraid that even your family and Wang Chun have been kept in the dark by you. They don't know that you have ruined your body because of saving me, and you can't have another child after giving birth to one, right?"

Although it was a question, Madam Kuang used an affirmative tone.

She looked at Mrs. Li with an annoyed look and said, "It's settled. To be honest, this is not a big deal.

Is it that he is only allowed to be the first one and we are not allowed to be the fifteenth? I was wrong. At the beginning, I really thought that Wang Chun was a good person just by listening to you. "

Recommendation votes, recommendation votes, recommendation votes, and collections. My throat hurts from yelling. /I feel bad for my fingers. Well, if it doesn't work, next time Xuan can consider using a big stick to ask for votes. I wonder if it will work? /Putting chin in thinking

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 68 No Tact

She said with some annoyance. Mrs. Kuang felt upset when she thought about it. How come these two people are married to the wrong person? She said bitterly: "Let's not talk about anything else. You also know that I have long been accustomed to eating the snacks you make. Even if others make the same, the taste is still a little worse. I can't eat it as safely as you make it.

So you are destined to be a hard worker in my place. If you really want to quit, you have to wait until your son asks for an imperial decree for you in the future, and then you can ask me to let you go."

"Madam, I will work like a slave in my next life and the next life combined, but I still cannot repay you for your kindness."

Mrs. Kuang said so much that Mrs. Li did not dare to insist any longer. She wiped her tears and said, "From now on, I will definitely rely on you. Even if my son asks for an imperial decree for me, I will not leave."

After that, she added in a firm tone: "I have been coming here every day to make cakes for the old lady before going home."

"Get up and get out of here right now. I told you to go back and pretend you didn't care. Do you really think I can't do anything without you?"

Seeing that Mrs. Li knew what was good for her, she finally stopped insisting on letting her go. Old Madam Kuang couldn't help but laugh and scold her in a bad mood.

Sister Li: "."

She stood up as she was told, but still insisted: "Madam, I will definitely not delay coming here every day to pretend to make Wang Chun suspicious. On the contrary, if I stay at home all day and don't go out to look for people, that will make him suspicious.

I have long been accustomed to making snacks for the old lady. It is not that the old lady cannot live without me, but I cannot bear to be away from her one day."

"You know how to coax me now. But now you know you can't bear to leave me? How come you forgot when you said such cruel words?"

Madam Kuang glared at Li Saozi angrily. Her tone sounded bad, but her words were full of concern: "Okay, okay, then make less. You don't have to come too early in the morning. Just make a simple snack.

We are done. Xiangwu, please stay and take a nap before you leave. I will tell others not to come and order you around recently. Your health has not been good to begin with. It took a lot of effort to nurse you back to health over the years. Please don't ruin it and my good medicine.

Don't take it lightly. If you really want to wait until your son invites you to a phoenix crown and a red robe, then be honest. Don't forget that if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer the consequences. "

"Madam, I will obey you."

Sister Li sniffled, moved to tears. She was old, but she cried uncontrollably in front of Old Madam Kuang, with snot and tears all over her face. Old Madam Kuang looked at her with disgust and waved her hand to drive her away.

However, Mrs. Li did not have her usual good look and she retreated. Instead, she wiped away her tears and stood there with a conflicted and hesitant look, as if she wanted to say something but stopped.

"Is there anything else? If you have something to say, say it. If not, get out. Don't be so shy. You know I hate this kind of attitude the most." Realizing that Mrs. Li's shyness was quite different from usual, Old Madam Kuang was almost amused by her and said bluntly.

"No, no, it's not something. It's something." Mrs. Li hadn't figured out how to talk about Mu Qingyin's matter, and she stuttered and spoke incoherently as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Is there really something wrong? It's just a trivial matter?" Seeing Mrs. Li like this, Mrs. Kuang, who knew her very well, suddenly became serious and asked in a serious tone.

"Yes, nothing can be hidden from the old lady." Mrs. Li lowered her head like a quail and said hesitantly.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 69 Don't worry

While Mrs. Li was still thinking about how to start the conversation after swallowing her saliva, Madam Kuang was already impatient and said directly, "Don't think too much. Just say whatever comes to mind."

"Madam, it's not that I don't want to speak frankly. It's just that if this matter is really as I guessed, then this matter is too big."

Sister Li said with a bitter face: "It still makes people feel a little unbelievable. So for a moment, I didn't know what to say or where to start."

"Don't worry, I won't blame you even if you guess wrong."

"Then I will speak frankly."

After hearing what Old Madam Kuang said, Sister Li felt a little relieved, but she still thought about it for a while before asking carefully, "Old Madam, is the second cousin of Marquis Yuejiang all right?"

"."

Madam Kuang looked at Li Saozi in surprise without saying anything. She had only just learned about her daughter's concubine's accident not long ago, and had never mentioned it in the mansion. She thought no one in the mansion knew about it yet, but now?

"Did something really happen to my second cousin?"

Mrs. Kuang's reaction made Mrs. Li feel at ease and even a little happy.

Her mood suddenly became complicated. She felt that something had happened to her second cousin, and the person she saw was most likely her second cousin. She also felt that her thoughts were not very kind.

She lowered her head, with an expression that was difficult to describe, and said, "I saw it. No, I should say that the one who saved my family's Chengyun yesterday, could it really be my second cousin? But, but the second cousin now, I really don't dare to recognize her."

"There was indeed news from the Mu Mansion that something happened to Qingyin. They said she fell into the water at the bottom of the cliff, and when the guards went down to look for her, she had been washed away by the water and it was unknown whether she was alive or dead."

Raising her eyebrows slightly, Madam Kuang said nonchalantly, "Marquis Yuejiang and her biological mother, Concubine Song, believed that she was dead and did not ask about it anymore.

Yaniang felt sorry for her and thought she might have a chance of survival. She sent people to look for her carefully, but unfortunately they couldn't find her. What happened? It turned out that Qingyin was the one who saved Chengyun by accident?"

Madam Kuang asked in confusion, "Since she is out of danger, why doesn't she go home? Is she unwilling to go back?"

"No, no. It's not that Miss Second Cousin doesn't want to go back, but she forgot who she was after being rescued by her master."

After getting confirmation from the old lady, and thinking that Mu Qingyin is most likely the second cousin, Sister Li's expression became even weirder.

She thought for a moment before looking up at Madam Kuang and said with an extremely serious expression, "Madam, the reason why I dare not acknowledge my second cousin is that she has become a little strange now.

"I feel that the second cousin has only changed her clothes, and her face is not as heavily made up as before. How come she looks different? She doesn't look like Concubine Song of the Mu Mansion at all, but looks more like you when you were young?"

"What did you say? My second cousin looks very similar to me when I was young? Are you sure?"

Even though Madam Kuang had experienced many storms in her life and believed that she could remain calm no matter what happened, she was still shocked at this moment.

She thought she had heard it wrong and looked at Mrs. Li in surprise, wondering if she was seeing things.

Chapter 70

"Old Madam, you know that I never speak nonsense. I have seen the portrait of you when you were young." Trying hard to recall Mu Qingyin's appearance again, Sister Li's eyes widened the more she recalled.

Her voice was trembling unconsciously: "If my second cousin changes her clothes, I'm afraid people will think she is you in the painting. She really does look very much like you when you were young.

Madam, you should meet her in person, right? Why do I feel that now that I think about it, I can't help thinking that she not only looks like you, but also looks like our aunt?

On the contrary, it seems that the young master is not what our aunt imagined. You say, you say, will it be possible?"

Before she could finish her words, Mrs. Li suddenly realized what she had said and covered her mouth in horror.

She regretted it. She regretted that she had been so obsessed that she blurted out her guess so bluntly. Even if it was true, she was the one who exposed it.

But the last sentence should not have been said without any reason by a servant like her.

She covered her mouth tightly, feeling annoyed at herself for having taken advantage of her, when she heard Madam Kuang say in a grim tone, "Go, find her now. I want to see her in person."

If she hadn't known that Li's wife was a person who always kept her duty and didn't talk nonsense, she would have lost her composure and punished her in a rage just by listening to what she said later.

This is indeed a big deal, and not just an ordinary big deal.

If this is true, both the Kuang family and the Mu family will experience unprecedented changes. What is the truth behind this? Was it done intentionally or was it an accident? No, if this is true, it cannot be an accident. It must be someone who did it intentionally.

Who was the person who did this on purpose? The family knew their own children, and it was impossible that Yaniang did this. If it wasn't Yaniang who replaced the girl with a boy, then the most suspicious person would be Concubine Song.

Thinking of the fact that Yaniang occasionally came early in the past few years, Aunt Song's attitude towards Mu Qingyin was completely different from that of her own daughter. She used all her tricks in private as if she was her enemy, and Mrs. Kuang's heart sank suddenly.

wrong.

Madam Kuang reacted quickly.

If this matter was really as she guessed, then it should not be something that a concubine with no background and ordinary birth could do.

If she said that the late old lady of the Mu Mansion or her "good son-in-law" Yuejiang Hou who only favored his concubine and killed his wife was not involved in this, she would definitely not believe it. Was this so that Yuejiang Hou could have a legitimate son?

After thinking so many things in an instant, Madam Kuang's face became even gloomier.

If this is the case, then Yuejianghoufu should die. Yaniang has been in good health these years. If it weren't for the discord between husband and wife, and thinking that she already had a "legitimate son" to report to, Yaniang would not have taken the initiative to stop having more children.

Her "good son-in-law" Yue Jianghou knew all this and even actively cooperated with them.

If he was really the one who planned all this behind the scenes. Damn it, how much does he dislike their Yaniang and how much does he despise the Kuang family, that he would rather risk being exposed and have a concubine as the legitimate son instead of a real legitimate son?

"Go, use the mansion's car to quietly pick him up and bring him to see me."
