Qinghe Pastoral

Although "Jingxuan" is just a courtyard, the courtyard is spacious and the layout is very fine.Although Zhang Wanqing is only an aunt, but because she is extremely favored by Mu Kang and gave birth to a son, she is considered to have some status in the Mu House.

There are seven or eight young servants and maids in the courtyard, plus the miscellaneous servants, there are always people who come and go.

After the maid served tea and snacks, Zhang Wanqing left everyone outside, and ordered her personal maid to guard at the door.

"I think Aunt Zhang is a straightforward person, so let's stop playing charades. For the past few days, there have been rumors of ghosts spreading in Mufu, and people are panicking. I really don't understand why you want to make this play."

Zhang Wanqing took a sip of tea, then smiled lightly, put down the teacup in her hand, but stared at Bai Junyan rightly, Bai Junyan felt uncomfortable being looked at.

"17 years ago, I was only ten years old. There was a drought in my hometown that year. Although there was relief from the government, I could barely survive the day. Who would have thought that my younger brother would catch cold at this time. In order to save him, my father went to the hospital alone. Unfortunately, I met a leopard and broke a leg on the way to escape. Although my uncle found it and carried it back? But for my family, it was a disaster." Zhang Wanqing seemed to think of this difficult period. Over the years, Jing couldn't help but her eyes were red.

"There are thousands of acres of fertile land in our village, and there are quite a few families in the village living on the land. This fertile land belongs to the Bai family, the richest man in Dongzhou. That day I heard that the Miss Bai family and the young master came to the countryside to play with the steward. I made up my mind. , I want to beg them to buy me and make me a cow and a horse, just asking for some money to save my father and younger brother. People in the village always say that I am a beauty, but when I see Miss Bai, I know what a beauty is. Miss Bai is not only elegant and luxurious, but also kind-hearted. When she heard my request, not only did she not dislike her, but she also took the doctor accompanying her to see my father and younger brother. Before leaving, she put a money bag in my hand , said to me: "You are so good-looking, you will definitely find a husband who loves you in the future, how can you be a slave to others? "In this way, instead of becoming a slave of the Bai family, I got a sum of money, enough to treat my father and younger brother."

When Zhang Wanqing said this, she suddenly stopped, and took out a money bag embroidered with plum blossoms from her sleeve. Although the material was good, it had already lost its color, showing how old it was.

She stood up, walked slowly to Bai Junyan, and handed him the money bag in her hand.

"Back then, there was bulging silver inside, but now there are only two small paper-cut paintings and a blessing of peace that I asked for from a wandering Taoist priest. I thought, when I find a good husband, I will go to the Bai family to hand this But who knows, a few years later, the news of Miss Bai’s dystocia and death spread throughout Dongzhou City. At that time, I complained that God did not favor good people, and felt sad and regrettable. I could only pray every day for her to live a long and safe life .”

Zhang Wanqing didn't stop talking, but tears welled up in her eyes. Obviously, she tried her best to hold back, and then, as if thinking of something, a stern determination flashed in her eyes.

"One year after Miss Bai's death, her son Mu Xianchen was killed in the sea of ​​fire, and even the bones could not be found? I once again lamented the injustice of God. I thought it was just that good people don't live long, until midnight that day, a disheveled It was only when the woman came to the door that I learned the hidden story. Miss Bai and the child who died young did not die by accident at all? It was a well-planned conspiracy, and the mastermind behind all this was Wang Hui. Not only that, The woman also suspected that the death of the second young master of the Mu family was also related to Wang Hui. She knelt down and begged me to find a good time to spread the matter because of the kindness of Miss Bai back then. A lot of hidden truths may come to the surface."

Zhang Wanqing finally confirmed their guess. She really knew what happened back then, and Lin Mu had already guessed who that woman was.

"That woman, where did she go?"

"After she saw that I agreed, she kowtowed a few times to the Baifu, and fell down after a while. I hurried forward to see, and she actually committed suicide by taking poison."

At that time, Lin Mu knew everything from Mrs. Zhou, so he knew that although Fen'er was deceived and threatened to harm his mother, she was not a vicious person.

If he is really a ruthless person, how can he not sleep at night and tell the truth in his dream?Perhaps during the days when she was hiding, living was more painful than dying, so she entrusted the matter to her.

"How could you easily believe a woman's words?"

"Because I know her. Back then, when Miss Bai came to our village, she was the one who accompanied her. Although she has gone through a lot of vicissitudes, she is a little bit overbearing, and she has shown her identity. There is no need to deceive me as a country girl. "

"So you entered Mufu to avenge my mother?"

"Our family is just a farmer in the countryside. Although the rumors are hurtful, the enemy is so powerful. If one is not paying attention, not only will she not be hurt at all, but it may also bring disaster to the family. I thought about it and thought that I might get some evidence when I entered the Mufu , and then entered the mansion as a servant girl to serve. Unexpectedly, at Mu Xianhua’s birthday ceremony, I ran into drunk Mu Kang on the rockery. He wanted me, and I became his aunt, and later she became pregnant and gave birth to Ye'er. But so many years have passed, and I have tried everything, but I can't find a trace of evidence. The people who guarded your courtyard disappeared after they were sent to Zhuangzi, and the nurse Zhou who served you and Mrs. Mei'er is also missing. I thought, when my parents passed away and Ye'er grew up, I would tell Mu Kang about this. I didn't ask him to seek justice for Miss Bai, but to deal with that bitch privately. But Unexpectedly, you came back, and when I saw you and Young Master Ji from a distance, I knew that someone would finally avenge Miss Bai."

Lin Mu finally figured out the reason. Seeing this beautiful but determined woman in front of him, Lin Mu felt mixed emotions in his heart.

Zhang Wanqing is just a country girl, for the kindness of the past, even if she knew that she was going to collide with a tiger with the force of an ant, even if she had lost her life, she never backed down.And what about Mukang?How infatuated was his mother for him back then?How many roads has the Bai family paved for him? The Bai family is in trouble, because it is an unshakable powerful family, and he can still use the far-fetched reason of saving his mother to put himself aside.However, while using his mother's dowry, he neglected his mother, even ignoring his mother to welcome Wang Hui into the mansion with her belly full, while he

The attracted wolf drove their mother and son into the abyss.He is still lucky, but what about his mother?Who can she sue for her infatuation and grievances?His younger brother, who died at birth and was thrown into a mass grave in a hurry, didn't even have the right to take a look at the world.All of this is Wang Hui's fault, so why not Mu Kang's fault?

Two lines of tears ran across Lin Mu's clear face, but there was an unshakable determination in his eyes, Wang Hui and the Mu family, he, Lin Mu, would never give up with them.

Lin Mu wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, walked to Zhang Wanqing's side, bent his knees, and gave her a big gift.This kind of etiquette is reserved for close relatives and elders, but even for Zhang Wanqing's heart, Lin Mu is willing to perform this ceremony for her.

"Master Mu, how did this happen?"

After Zhang Wanqing finished speaking, seeing the same expressions on the faces of several people, she guessed that they already knew the truth. What she did could not repay Miss Bai's kindness back then. How could she make her benefactor's son kneel down to her?

"The fire didn't burn poor Mu Xianchen to death, but brought happy Lin Mu back to life. You can call me Muer from now on."

''Why didn't you tell me what happened? "

Knowing the cause and effect, Bai Junyan thought hard, but couldn't understand why Zhang Wanqing didn't tell him the truth?

"I've thought about it, but I can't. I'm just a person who deserves Miss Bai's kindness, but you are her younger brother, and you have a deep relationship. If you know the truth, how can you bear it? How can Mu Kang get angry because of a few words?" Let the glory of the Mu family be overthrown for nothing? So I dare not say it, and I can't say it."

Bai Junyan looked at the woman in front of him, but couldn't say a word of rebuttal, because he had no way to refute.Many years later, he learned everything from Mrs. Zhou, and without thinking about it, he wanted to take Mrs. Zhou, mother and son to Mufu to ask for an explanation. What would happen if he was the same back then?

Fang Cairuo only felt touched and grateful in his heart, but now he has a little more admiration for Zhang Wanqing. This is a kind and intelligent woman who knows how to be grateful. If she hadn't thought carefully, Bai Junyan was weak and weak back then, and he would never have gotten any benefits.

"Thank you for everything you have done for the Bai family. Let me handle the future matters. However, once we succeed, the prosperity and wealth of the Mu Mansion will be lost. At that time..."

Zhang Wanqing is so smart, how can she not know what Lin Mu wants to say, those are irrelevant to her, and she doesn't care that her son has this surname.

"Mr. Lin is too worried. I will be satisfied if I can complain for Miss Bai. Please wait a moment."

After Zhang Wanqing finished speaking, she hurried into the inner room, and handed him a locked wooden box after a while.

"This is what the woman gave me before she died. She said that it was what Wang Hui asked her to add to Miss Bai's food. Now, it is returned to the original owner. I hope it can help."

Lin Mu took over the wooden box and the key, Wang Gui's prescription was kept by Mrs. Zhou, and she thought it would be a mystery what Wang Hui gave his mother, but Fen'er actually wrote it down one by one. This is true. Hard evidence, now available, is of great use.

"This is very useful, thank you."

"Don't be so polite, if anyone needs my help, you must speak up."

"Recently, the Mu Mansion may not be peaceful. You have to take care of yourself and your fourth brother. If you encounter any trouble, you can find me in the courtyard. Now, let's take our leave first."

Zhang Wanqing sent the three of them to the gate of the courtyard. Seeing the three figures gradually disappear, a tear ran across her charming face.

How many nights, when she flashed the beautiful face of the past in her dream, she always cried secretly.Now, there is finally hope, this luxurious woman who has been wronged for decades can finally wash away her wrongedness, and all of this will be done by her son himself.
