Chapter 169 An Accident

Mu Xiyao on the other end was caught by Zong Zhenglin for being awkward, and she couldn't save her face in the end after making a fuss, so she could only pretend to be nonchalant in front of Mo Lan, deceiving herself and others.

The two masters were working in the study, Zhao Momo and Mo Lan had met several times. I just didn't expect that these two masters would actually choose the little master to catch the Zhou Banquet, just like that... they fell in love. This thing is indeed a bit embarrassing.

Besides, at this time, the sky is bright and the sun is shining, just thinking about it like this really makes people blush.

Mu Xiyao dawdled, and it took a long time to tidy up. The flower demon in the morning has now become a beautiful and charming person. This change in temperament finally made Zong Zhenglin nod in satisfaction.

In order to avoid meeting people on the road, two people who were supposed to greet guests in the front were found hiding in the backyard as a couple, Mu Xiyao went out before Zong Zhenglin, and went smoothly in a soft sedan chair. Dan Ruoyuan turned back. If there is no mistake, Fifth Yuying should have arrived long ago, but unfortunately, His Highness Sixth Highness had a whim, and was missed the meeting agreed in the letter.

Nanny Zhao and Mo Lan followed on one side of the sedan chair, followed by two maidservants dressed as female guards. The group walked past the corner of the garden when they were almost hit by someone who rushed out from the slant.

The two female guards reacted very quickly, and they stood in front of Mu Xiyao in the blink of an eye, while the ordinary-dressed little maid was so frightened that she just stood in the middle of the road in a daze, looking at them at a loss.

"Which yard do you belong to? Dare to attack the side concubine, do you still want your head?" Zhao Nanny was anxious. If it weren't for the vigilance of the person carrying the soft sedan chair in front, who immediately stopped when he noticed the abnormality, and cleverly took two steps sideways, there would be nothing wrong with this trip.

If something happened to the master at the little master's first birthday banquet, it would be a bad thing if it got out.

"Returning to Mammy, the servant girl is Dan Zhu, the second-class maidservant in Master An's courtyard. I just went back to get the cloak for the master, and was knocked unconscious on the ground when passing by the garden. Fang just woke up, was so frightened that he lost his mind, and rushed out recklessly I disturbed the side concubine's sedan chair. I also ask the mother to raise your hand and let the servants go this time. I beg the concubine to be merciful."

After being reprimanded by Zhao Mama, the little maid finally came back to her senses, and immediately fell to her knees in fright, kowtowed repeatedly, her arms holding the cloak tightly surrounded her, even her shoulders trembled violently.

Mu Xiyao opened the car curtain, and saw that half of the clothes of the prostrate person on the ground were stained with mud, and there were obvious stains around the edge of the cloak and hood wrapped in his arms. Then look at her red eyes, and the left side of her forehead seems to be bloodshot.

"Get up and come forward to answer, don't be afraid." Mu Xiyao signaled everyone to let the little girl come over, and she was trembling, with her head lowered, and she moved forward in small steps.

Sure enough, there was a scar on the forehead, and there was already some black and blue in the middle. This servant girl has no malicious intentions, and Yupei has been quiet so far, showing no reaction at all.

"Where were you knocked down? How long have you been unconscious?"

In the prince's mansion, every happy event, there must be a moth? Mu Xiyao raised her brows lightly, and various mixed conjectures had already begun in her mind.

Today, her son caught Zhou, and he is too young to eat longevity noodles. Little Baozi has been wronged if he doesn't have a cake, and it doesn't make sense for him to be taken advantage of.

"Returning to the side concubine, the servant was suddenly knocked on the head at the rockery not far from Mingyue Lake, and only saw a light green dress, but nothing else." Dan Zhu recalled the sudden stick, Now I have lingering fears, I don't know who I provoked to do such a vicious thing.

"I don't know how long I've been unconscious. I just remember taking the cloak and coming out. It's been a while."

Mu Xiyao nodded to avoid the punishment of her collision, and asked Mo Lan to lead her to the yard to wash, change into clean clothes, heal the wound on her forehead, and send her back to An's yard.

"Follow Mo Lan, your master will not punish you. If you feel afraid about today's matter, you can tell your master about it, she will not ignore it."

With tears in his eyes, Dan Zhu thanked Mu Xiyao for his kindness, and was led to the end, only staring at Mu Xiyao's sedan chair, with deep gratitude in his eyes.

He thought he would be scolded by the side concubine and beaten severely. But he didn't expect to rely on the side concubine to pass the word to the master in the end, and saved her from being punished. Otherwise, just this soiled cloak, even her entire net worth, would not be worth it.

The father of the family left early, relying on the mother to do some handicrafts to make ends meet. My younger brother is going to go to school now, my mother is sick from overwork, and not long ago she was too sick to get out of bed, so I rely on her to work as a errand in the prince's mansion, helping the family with a tael of silver every month, and even going to Jishantang to get side effects Difficult.

In such a tight time, if they lose this job again, or if they are sent to the yamen because there is no money to pay for the cloak of the master, the whole family will really be forced to die.

She entered the mansion because she was picked by the chief steward, and her body was pawned. Assigned to Master An's courtyard, what he hears the most on weekdays is the excitement in Danruo Garden, and that Concubine Mu who makes all the masters in the backyard jealous.

Privately in the garden, it was rumored that the side concubine was mean and very strict, relying on His Highness's favor, she was defiant, and even the main concubine dared to bully her. To put it even more fiercely, it was even rumored that the side concubine knew sorcery, which fascinated His Highness's mind, and also won the favor of the nobles in the palace, so that she could be so ostentatious and powerful in the palace like this.

Now when I meet someone, I feel so ashamed that I don't even have the courage to face him directly. Sure enough, I can't listen to other people's nonsense, and treat the good person as a fierce witch in my heart.

Mu Xiyao and her party went back to the garden, and they didn't have time to sit down for half a cup of tea, when Ruo Lan hurriedly reported that something had happened to Miss Yuying.

"What's the matter?" Mu Xiyao pushed away the longan and red date porridge served by Mo Lan, her voice was filled with urgency, "How is Yuying?"

"Master, don't worry, Miss Yuying is fine, it was another lady who came with her, and was found fainted by Mingyue Lake."

Fainted again? Mu Xiyao was instinctively vigilant. This matter may be a feud once, but it is absolutely impossible to justify it so simply if it is done twice.

"Mommy, take someone over there to bring Yuying and her party to the garden. You have to find out what happened. Let's find out who the lady is. She is not hurt. Be careful on the road and avoid others. Be public. Take the soft sedan chair with you, if the girl is still awake, you should ask the imperial doctor to come over and take her pulse."

Ren came here as a guest with Fifth Yuying, and went to the yard to pass the time because he was waiting for her. If something happened like this, if you don't give an explanation, there will be no way to justify it.

Mu Xiyao stood at the door anxiously looking around, and after a while, she saw Wu Yuying frowning, followed by two ladies from aristocratic families, and the last one was a soft sedan chair, it seemed that the girl might not have woken up, It's just that I'm still confused and inconvenient to walk.

"Mu..." Wu Yuying immediately relaxed her brows when she saw Mu Xiyao, as if she had finally found someone who could call the shots, and she felt relieved all of a sudden. I was used to the two of them calling "Sister Mu" in private, but when I suddenly remembered that there were other people around, it was really inappropriate to call it that way, so I changed it temporarily, and called it "side concubine" in a standard manner, and bowed my knees to salute.

Mu Xiyao pulled her up, and instead of joking with her affectionately like usual, she had a serious expression, and avoided the other two people from saluting, and only beckoned people to carefully move the girl who was lying on her back into her room.

"Let's talk in the room." She took people to the back room to sit down, and served everyone a cup of tea to calm down the shock. Then Mu Xiyao walked to the soft couch and carefully looked at the girl who opened her eyes but was still in panic.
