Wei Lan'er was not that kind of foolhardy person. She said: "The maid pretending to be Lu Tao doesn't know the identities of you and your uncle, nor has she seen your faces. Even if she was found to have told the truth, , at most it will let the Yongping Marquis Mansion know that there is someone else who framed Song Yang. There is no need for us to take risks to find someone."
"It's always hard to feel at ease just letting that girl live."
"What are you afraid of? If I can really marry into the Yongping Marquis Mansion in the future, am I afraid that I can't find anyone? Besides, this girl has something in our hands, and she may be able to use it for me in the future."
Jin Shu also understood after hearing this and said with a smile: "Yes, the girl is wise!"
Wei Laner was not so happy, "Don't forget, there is someone beside me who knows everything!"
"Yan Qiao?" A fierce look flashed in Jin Shu's eyes, "Yan Qiao is a member of the Lin family after all. She can't always be by the girl's side. When she returns to the Lin family, she won't be able to blame us when she dies."
Wei Laner smiled softly this time, "That's what you said."
*****
Ever since the old lady of the Mu family told her three daughters-in-law about Qin Zeng's secret and Concubine Mu's decision, the Mu family had become a little confused privately.
Qin Zeng is a fake eunuch, and his true identity will be revealed sooner or later, but before that, the daughter of the Mu family, who has a high status, has to be a rival to a eunuch. If he tells it, he will suffer much criticism and ridicule.
It's just that Qin Zeng is so outstanding that people feel that they have missed him and it will be difficult to meet such a man again in the future.
And with the emperor's favor and trust in him, his future is absolutely certain.
Mrs. Mu deeply regretted not protecting her daughter Mu Lan and letting her get involved in the death of Liang Gui. Her daughter was now in the palace, and there was nothing she could do to regret it.
Mrs. Mu's second wife was also a little moved. After all, the second wife's position in the Mu family was really difficult to get ahead. If Mu Yao could really follow Qin Zeng, it wouldn't matter if she had a few years of hard work ahead, she would be there for the rest of her life. But Mu Yao firmly refused, saying that she could not control a man like Qin Zeng and was frightened when she saw him, so the second lady had to give up.
Mrs. Mu San couldn't bear to part with her twin daughters. After all, her husband had great military exploits. What kind of husband did her daughter want to choose? No matter how good Qin Zeng was, he didn't seem to be considerate. If their daughters were to be offended when they married, they would do My parents don’t dare to support me, how can I live a lifetime of grievances!
But it was a pity to give up Qin Zeng, so she wanted to hire a concubine from the third room to take over, but Mrs. Mu said that the imperial concubine had made it clear that she must have a concubine to show her sincerity.
Master Mu San was away at war, and the Nian family had no one to talk to. After much deliberation, he told his two daughters about the matter and wanted to ask them what they meant.
The two sisters, Mu Yan and Mu Yao, were deeply shocked by this incident.
The two of them were only fourteen after the Chinese New Year, and they originally had to wait two or three years before getting married. If they couldn't find a good match, it wouldn't be too late to wait until seventeen.
Suddenly saying that they wanted to get married, and it was such a unique "marriage", the two sisters were a little undecided for a while.
Mu Yan was bolder and ran directly to Evergreen Pavilion to ask Mrs. Mu: "Grandma, is that Lord Qin really a fake eunuch?"
Mrs. Mu looked at her beautiful granddaughter and pondered for a moment before saying, "Of course it's true."
When Mu Yan got the affirmative answer, she still couldn't believe it. After being silent for a while, she asked again: "Grandma, what do you think is it good or bad for my granddaughter to marry Qin Zeng?"
Mrs. Mu did not expect Mu Yan to ask such a direct question, and was stunned for a moment.
Except for her, no one in the entire Mu family knew that Qin Zeng was the child of Xiao Lan, who had competed with Concubine Mu for a man, and whoever married Qin Zeng would definitely be hated by Concubine Mu.
The reason why Mrs. Mu agreed to this matter was because of other considerations. Concubine Mu had been favoring the harem for many years. The reason was because of her relationship with Xiao Lan. If the emperor knew what happened back then, even if he couldn't It is easy to shake the current Mu family, but Concubine Mu will definitely fall out of favor.
If there is a daughter from the Mu family who can be loved and respected by Qin Zeng, the situation will undoubtedly be restored.
If the imperial concubine and the empress can always live in peace, then they will definitely have to deal with Qin Zeng in the future, and the daughter of the Mu family who marries Qin Zeng, and even his children, will become tools to restrain Qin Zeng.
In short, for a big family like the Mu family, it is always right to be prepared for everything.
For Mrs. Mu, the palms and backs of her hands are full of flesh and they always hurt. It doesn't matter whether it's the palms or the back of her hands.
She thought for a while and said, "If you think Qin Zeng is what you want, that's good."
Mu Yan got such an ambiguous answer and left Changqingyuan absentmindedly.
When passing by Mu Wan's Asakusa residence, she was shocked back to her senses by Daukou who rushed out in a panic, "Daukou, where are you going in such a hurry? What happened?"
"Miss Seven, our girl has sprained her foot and cut her arm. This slave is about to go ask the doctor!"
"Eighth sister is seriously injured?" Daukou is the eldest girl next to Mu Wan. She usually behaves steadily and does not lose control easily. The way she looks now, it seems that Mu Wan is seriously injured.
"My ankle is so swollen that I can't walk!"
Mu Yan wanted to ask about the cause and effect, but Daukou was in a hurry, so she waved her hand, "Then you go quickly, I will go to the eighth sister's yard to take a look."
Entering Asakusa Residence, as soon as I entered the house, I heard the voices of my mother and sister.
Nian stood beside the bed with red eyes, but Mu Wan was comforting her: "Don't worry, mother, it's just a sprain. It will be fine in a few days."
Her voice was soft and soft, sounding just like usual. Mu Yan snorted slightly, and she knew Mu Wan was faking it.
But then I heard Nian saying from the side: "You silly kid doesn't know what's going on. You are a daughter of a family. What if you leave any sequelae that affect your walking in the future? And there are scars on your arms." But what to do!”
Mu Yan was surprised when she heard this, and walked forward quickly: "Eight Sister, what's going on? As soon as I entered the door, I saw Daukou rushing to invite the doctor. Why did he fall like this?"
Mu Wan was sitting on the bed, her lotus-colored Confucian skirt was a little messy, her left shoe and stocking had come off, and her ankle was red and swollen. The sleeve of his left hand was rolled up to his elbow, and he could see the injury on his forearm, which was as long as a finger. The bun on the head is also a little loose, and the jade hairpin inserted diagonally in the hair is teetering. This look shows that the fall was not light!
"Sister is here..." She turned her head when she heard the sound, her eyes were a little red, it was obvious that she had cried, but at this time there was a reassuring smile on the corner of her mouth, which made people feel sorry for her sensibleness.
Of course, Mu Yan was not the one who felt sorry for her.
Mu Yan didn't know how much she had suffered at the hands of Mu Wan. Every time the two of them quarreled, she was the one who was unreasonable and unforgiving, while Mu Wan clearly did something wrong, but was the one who was comforted in the end.
However, her mother was in front of her at this time, so she put on a worried look and stepped forward to see her injuries, "My sister is in severe pain?"
Nian quickly pulled her to sit beside Mu Wan's bed and said, "Yan'er, you want to talk about your sister, she doesn't take herself seriously!"
Mu Wan said: "Sister, don't listen to what my mother said. I just sprained my foot accidentally and they are the ones making a fuss."
Du Ruo brought a basin and a clean handkerchief over at this time. His face was ugly and he said angrily: "What's wrong with you? It's not that Miss Nine is unreasonable..."
"Shut up!" Mu Wan scolded softly: "You girl, you are always good at gossiping. If I am not careful, what does it have to do with Sister Ninth?"
Du Ruo shut his mouth sarcastically, with obvious dissatisfaction on his face.
Mu Yan frowned and looked at Nian. Seeing the distressed look on her face, she knew that there was clearly an inside story and it was related to Mu Yao. But as Nian's aunt, it was hard for her to blame her niece.
It happened that the doctor came at this time, and everyone made room for him.
The doctor looked at it carefully for a moment and said: "The sprain on the ankle is not a big deal. It is slightly dislocated and does not hurt the muscles and bones. It will be fine after a little treatment and a few days of rest. It's just that the wound on the arm is a bit deep and may leave scars." .”
Nian's face darkened when he heard this, "This wound is not small. What should I do if a girl has such a large scar?"
She looked at the injury on Mu Wan's arm and suddenly remembered something. She turned to look at Mu Yan and said, "Yan'er, I remember you have a bottle of Snow Muscle Honey Dew given by the Imperial Concubine. It is most effective in building muscle and removing scars. Why not bring it here?" Give it to your sister."
The snow-muscle honey dew came as tribute from southern Xinjiang. It was extremely rare. There were only two bottles. The imperial concubine got one bottle, and the emperor gave the other bottle to Mr. Mu San who was injured in the battle. Afterwards, Mu Yan used the excuse that she had acne on her face and asked for the honey dew. Master Mu San, a grown man, didn't mind leaving some scars on his body, so he gave this thing to her.
Mu Yan looked at Mu Wan, feeling reluctant to give it up, but she had to give it away, so she had to hold on to her face and smile: "Eighth sister was so seriously injured, and my mother didn't tell her, so I also want to give her the Snow Muscle Honey Dew." use!"
When Mu Wan heard this, she was so moved that she didn't know what to say, "Good sister, you are willing to give such a precious thing to my sister. My sister doesn't even know what to give in return."
Before Mu Yan could say anything, Nian said angrily: "You are twin sisters. There is no distinction between you and me. It doesn't matter if we have a small fight on weekdays. If something happens to you, you still have to do it." You sisters help each other, and why don’t you say anything in return?”
Mu Yan felt a knot in her heart, but she didn't dare to show her dissatisfaction in front of her mother. She forced out a smile and said, "I'll go back first, and I'll send the Snow Muscle Honey Dew to my sister in a while."
Mu Yan stood up and resigned from Asakusa Residence. She walked back with long strides, feeling restless in her heart.
The girl who was following her didn't dare to say anything when she saw her expression was bad.
Returning to her yard, Mu Yan sat down there angrily, "Go and find the Snow Muscle Honey Dew."
When Pu Cao heard this, he immediately went to get it from the box specially filled with various ointments.
