Chapter 13 - Aunt Lou

On the way back to Zhuyuan, Mu Qingling met Mu Yinghan who was coming towards her. When she passed by her, she noticed that her watery eyes were slightly red, obviously crying. She raised her eyebrows in surprise. What's wrong with her?

When passing by Mu Qingling, Mu Yinghan stopped, his red water eyes glanced at her coldly, and said sarcastically: "Mu Qingling, you are capable." After giving up this sentence, Mu Yinghan left without looking back.

"What's wrong with Miss Four?"

"What else can it be? I guess I thought the evil man complained first, but I was scolded." Mu Qingling thought about it, and the only possibility was that it was related to the incident that happened on the street today. There was only one reason why Mu Yinghan used this attitude to treat her when she came back, that is, the people in the mansion already knew that she had taken the jade pendant back from Jun Haoqi, and they should have had another thought in their hearts.

In the next few days, Mu Qingling's life was quiet and no one came to cause trouble for her. Even if she met Mu Yinghan in the mansion, she would occasionally sarcastically and no other actions.

"Miss, Madam Lin next to Aunt Lou is here and said she wants to meet her."

Mu Qingling put down the pills she had made in her hand and frowned: "But what's wrong with me?"

After careful consideration, Mu Qingling found that there was indeed such a person in her impression, but it was too long and it was a little blurred. I only remember that when Mu Qingling's mother was still alive, the one who talked about in this prime minister's mansion was this Aunt Lou. Over time, the two became friends, and she was Mu Mingxuan's biological mother. But what is very puzzled is that half a year after Mu Qingling's mother passed away, Aunt Lou, who was favored in the mansion, suddenly retired to the Buddhist temple and never cared about the world. In this way, eight years have passed. Except for the people around her, almost no one in the mansion has seen her, and even his parents and children rarely meet her.

Luzhu shook her head and said, "No."

Mu Qingling rubbed her forehead and said in a low voice: "Let her come in first and see what she says."

Lu Zhu left and soon brought a woman over fifty in. Madam Lin bowed slightly, "I've seen Miss Three."

Mu Qingling looked up at her, her expression was plain, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Is there anything wrong with you looking for me?"

"Miss Third, my aunt wants to see you."

Mu Qingling thought for a while and nodded, "Then let's take the lead!" Just in time, she wanted to see Aunt Lou, but she didn't know if it was her illusion. She had a feeling that Aunt Lou suddenly retreated to the Buddhist temple that year, which seemed to be somewhat related to Mu Qingling's mother.

Aunt Lou's residence is relatively remote, and along the way, there was almost no one to see, until Madam Lin took her to a quiet courtyard and whispered: "Miss Third Miss, Auntie is quiet, I won't accompany you in."

Mu Qingling nodded and said, "Thank you." A faint smell of sandalwood flowed in the air, and even the maids serving in the yard were doing things lightly. In the whole yard, except for the sound of wooden fish in the middle room, there was no other sound.

Mu Qingling walked past the path made of pebbles, stood at the door, sighed slightly, reached out and pushed open the closed door, walked in, closed the door, walked to the side and sat down, quietly looked at the woman who was dressed with her back, dressed in plain clothes, holding Buddhist beads in her hand, and knocking on wooden fish.

I don’t know how long it took, Aunt Lou finally stopped the movement in her hand, turned around, her face calmed down, and there was no trace of turbulence in her eyes, and she yelled the Buddha’s name, “You are here!”

Aunt Lou is only 35 or 36 years old now, but her eyebrows and eyes seem to be full of vicissitudes. However, from her simple face, it can be seen that she was a beauty when she was young. It is a pity that such a woman gave up her great years and guarded the ancient Buddha of the green lamp.

"Auntie." Mu Qingling stood up and said softly.

Aunt Lou walked to the other side and sat down, shook her head and said, "You can sit down too!" She sighed slightly, and her eyes fell on Mu Qingling again, "In the blink of an eye, you are so big."

Mu Qingling frowned slightly at the aunt who was eager to speak but stopped looking at her upstairs, "My aunt..."

"Okay, I won't say that much. I heard that you have already taken back the jade pendant." Aunt Lou turned the Buddhist beads in her hand and said softly.

"Is this true! Is the news about Auntie?" Mu Qingling's return of the jade pendant was indeed not a secret in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but Aunt Lou almost never contacts the outside world, so it's no wonder Mu Xinqian asked this question.

"You don't have to test me. No matter how ambitious I am, I will not covet your things."

Mu Qingling smiled faintly, "My aunt misunderstood. I have no other intentions, I just said it casually."

Aunt Lou looked at the girl in front of her with a little complicated look and sighed: "Since that's the case, you can live a good life in the future. Also, don't mix things in the mansion without mixing with them."

"I'm sorry, aunt cares!" Mu Qingling raised her eyebrows slightly, her words were a bit intriguing.

After staying with Aunt Lou for a while, she talked about some irrelevant topics, Mu Qingling left first on the grounds that there was something else. Originally, Mu Qingling wanted to ask about her mother, but later, because Aunt Lou avoided the topic about her mother in every conversation, she had to give up for the time being. After all, she had no idea now. If Aunt Lou deliberately concealed it, she would definitely not be able to ask anything.

Mu Qingling left before her feet, but Aunt Lou's originally calm eyes were filled with sadness, "Madam, tell me, should I tell her?"

Madam Lin also had a hint of sadness on her face, and she comforted her: "I don't tell her, it's for her own good, but I've seen the third lady become more and more agile since the last incident..."

"You mean..."

"What I worry about is that if Miss Third is interested in investigating, she will find some clues sooner or later."

"Forget it, let's just do this for the time being. But, the nanny and the family of the Marquis of Wen'an were kind to me. Ten years ago, the family of Wen'an was destroyed overnight, and the young master disappeared for no reason. The third lady is the niece of the Yu family, and it is very likely that she is the only person with the blood of Yu. Therefore, she cannot be in danger no matter what."

"I know this, I am sure that I am just about that matter..."

"Let's talk about that first. The storm has not completely passed yet. If the mother and daughter don't want to fall into the hands of others, they will not act rashly. In addition, since the third lady can get the jade pendant back from King Qi's hand, other things will naturally be no problem."

"My aunt said yes."

"Amitabha, now I only hope that the ancestors of the Yu family can bless her forever and not involve her because of the grudges of the previous generation."
