Chapter 133 Something happened
Chapter 133 Something happened
This outing did not last too long in the end. When Mu Tangxi heard that something had happened in the mansion again, he said goodbye to the three people and got on the carriage to return home.
The smiles on the faces of the three people who stayed behind disappeared instantly as Mu Tangxi left.
Gu Shiming and Gu Shiyin were in no mood to continue testing the Third Prince at this moment. After all, the Third Prince's expression just now had already revealed his intentions.
Moreover, something must have happened to Sister Tangxi since she returned so soon. They had to go back and find out!
So after bidding farewell to the Third Prince neatly, they also left.
Ji Qichen watched them leave quickly one by one, feeling regretful. Tangxi went back so soon, otherwise...
Send a few more invitations to Tangxi later!
He sincerely hoped that when he was with Tangxi in the future, there would be no presence of Jingyang Hou’s siblings!
By the way, you can bring Jinjin here to show Tangxi next time.
Jinjin is the name of the rolling brocade. Although the name is a bit perfunctory, it is still quite nice.
Moreover, Jinjin is very cute and has smooth fur, she will definitely attract Tangxi!
Ji Qichen didn't want to stay alone in the suburbs anymore. It was still a bit cold in winter, so he decided to go to a warmer place, Tangxi, next time.
Mu Tangxi got on the carriage and asked the servant who came to report what had happened.
The servant said hesitantly, "Madam went for a walk in the flower garden and bumped into that guy. They were fine at first, just a few words, but somehow, Madam suddenly pushed him down."
"The man's head hit a rock and he lost consciousness on the spot. Madam thought he was faking it and she didn't allow anyone else to get close."
"In the end, the master suddenly arrived and took the guy away."
Mu Tangxi lowered her eyelashes to hide the indifference in her eyes, but asked with some worry on her face: "How is mother? Is she hurt?"
The servant shook his head quickly, "No, it's just that the mistress was punished by the master to copy the scriptures a hundred times, and she is not allowed to leave the yard until she finishes copying."
Mu Tangxi’s first reaction was, why did his father always punish people by making them copy?
Oh, by the way, my mother’s family is very powerful, so my father would not punish her too severely, so he simply let her copy some scriptures.
This time, the father probably didn't punish the mother just because Lin Xueruo was injured. It was probably mostly because the mother almost killed someone.
After all, husband and wife are one body and that is no joke. Once the mother causes a death, the court will be eager to implicate the father in the matter.
So his father was protecting his mother and himself in disguise. Mu Tangxi admitted that his father was indeed somewhat sincere towards Lin Xueruo, but compared with the benefits, it was nothing.
It couldn't be that the mother didn't want to do it at first, so why did she seem provoked?
Mu Tangxi didn't ask anything else, and the carriage suddenly became quiet.
The servant heaved a sigh of relief. To be honest, when the mistress saw the master carrying that person away, her face looked as if she wanted to kill someone.
But it's normal. The lady and the master have always only had each other, and then suddenly a mistress and her two children pop up. Anyone would go crazy!
As soon as the lady returned to the yard, she started smashing things like crazy, not caring whether there were maids or servants around her.
So he quickly took the thing and went to tell the lady, at least he was safe for the time being.
After Mu Tangxi returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he first went to his mother's yard to visit her, but was blocked at the gate of the yard. The guards at the gate did not let anyone in.
There was no other way, Mu Tangxi could only go to his father's study and plead for his mother.
After all, we still have to do a better job on the surface.
As a result, as soon as he arrived at the study, Mu Tangxi saw his eldest brother and the other two kneeling at the door of the study.
Mu Tangxi walked over quietly and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Big brother, second brother, third brother, why are you kneeling here?"
Mu Jinfeng pulled the corner of his mouth slightly, "We came to plead for our mother, and came to the study to look for our father, but he wasn't there, so we went... there to look for him, and then we were driven here to kneel down as punishment."
When he mentioned Lin Xueruo, he simply omitted her name because he really didn't know how to address her.
Call her a concubine? My father has already given her the title of a concubine.
But calling her Aunt Lin felt a bit off-putting, so I just omitted it.
Mu Jinbai then sighed, "Sister, don't go to father to beg for mercy. If you go, you will be punished to kneel down. Father is still angry now."
Mu Tangxi was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "I still want to go. How can I know if it works if I don't try it?"
Mu Jinxi's face fell, and she also helped to persuade, "Sister, please don't go. Father has been guarding there since that person fell into a coma. Even his usual gentle expression has disappeared. It's scary!"
"Besides," Mu Jinxi leaned forward slightly and whispered, "the two children that were brought back are also here, especially the younger one. He is very fierce now and thinks that we bullied his mother."
"I wasn't paying attention just now and he kicked me!"
Mu Jinfeng and Mu Jinbai looked at him indescribably. Even a child couldn't dodge and was kicked. All the martial arts he learned in the past few years were in vain.
Mu Jinxi suddenly looked a little confused. "But the older one doesn't seem to care that much about her mother. That expression is so fake."
"Just like... oh yeah, it's similar to the look of disgust I got from my second brother and I when we went to Marquis Jingyang's mansion five years ago!"
Mu Jinbai had already covered his face with his hands. He had clearly forgotten about it a long time ago, so why did he have to remember this dark history? !
This silly child!!!
Mu Tangxi couldn't help laughing, "I know, and it's okay even if I have to kneel down as punishment. I can still chat with you to pass the time."
Mu Jinfeng's expression froze, and he suddenly felt a little unnatural.
Mu Jinbai and Mu Jinxi's eyes were already filled with tears. They each held Mu Tangxi's hand, "Sister, you are so kind!"
"Brother/younger brother will remember this kindness!"
This sentence made Mu Tangxi laugh. She stood up and said goodbye to the three brothers.
Mu Jinfeng's gaze kept following his sister's back.
"By the way, didn't the Third Prince invite me to go out and play today?"
"Ah? Then will the Third Prince dislike you for coming back so early?"
"It shouldn't be...right?"
Mu Jinfeng frowned when he heard this and planned to ask his men to find out about the third prince's situation when he returned.
After Mu Tangxi left the study, the happy expression on his face gradually faded. Although he was still smiling, his state was completely different from before.
She was lying. Her father would not punish her by making her kneel. Most likely, she would just be made to copy scriptures or be confined to her home like her mother.
Otherwise, if she was punished to kneel, it would be very bad if it got out, and if she kneeled incorrectly, her future benefits would be greatly reduced.
Mu Tangxi looked towards the guest room not far away, his eyes full of curiosity. Could it be that Lin Xueruo accidentally killed herself?
