Chapter 113 I am the daughter of the Mu family
"The late madam was a very good person, she was nice to everyone!" Aunt Xiao paused slightly, her thoughts going back to a long time ago.
At that time, the mistress of the Mu family was Qiao, and everyone in the family was in harmony.
"I only know her last name is Qiao, but I don't know her specific name. The Prime Minister sometimes calls her Ah Han, and we call her Sister. She is very strange, but I can't tell what's strange about her. She doesn't allow servants to call themselves slaves or kneel down. She does everything herself."
"I don't know much about her. I only meet her on necessary occasions. But your aunt is closer to her!"
"My aunt?" Mu Lanfeng was puzzled.
Aunt Xiao nodded and continued, "The relationship between her and the Prime Minister is also very strange. It doesn't seem like a couple, but more like friends who help each other, or a boss and a clerk?"
friend?
Boss and buddy?
Mu Lanfeng was confused. If Qiao really had traveled through time, then those actions would make sense.
But her relationship with Mu Xun is a bit strange. She is obviously the mistress of the house, so why is it like the relationship between a boss and a servant?
Who is the boss?
Who's the buddy?
"What happened next?" Mu Lanfeng asked.
"One year, the Prime Minister met Jiang, who had returned from an alien tribe, by chance at a palace banquet. They got together without anyone noticing. When the Queen Mother found out, she intended for the Prime Minister to marry Jiang as his second wife. With pressure from the Queen Mother, the Prime Minister had to compromise! But before the wedding took place, the late wife died suddenly!" Aunt Xiao disdained Jiang's behavior, but at the same time felt sorry for Qiao.
"Death by sudden death?"
Aunt Xiao continued, "I also find it strange. The late Madam was not in good health and had been taking medicine all the time, but she was not dead just like that! Half a year later, the Prime Minister officially welcomed Jiang into the family. You know what happened afterwards!"
Thinking back to the person he had met in the nameless courtyard, Mu Lanfeng was now certain that it was the late Qiao.
The strange thing is why it suddenly disappeared?
It seems like it has never appeared there!
Mu Lanxue was confused as she listened to this. She looked at Aunt Xiao, then turned to look at Mu Lanfeng and asked in confusion, "Why did Fifth Sister suddenly ask about her? Did you find out anything?"
Mu Lanfeng smiled slightly and glanced at Mu Lanxue: "I'm just curious!"
Mu Lanxue said coquettishly: "Humph! Auntie has already told me that if nothing happened, would you come over? You still want to coax me!"
"I've been investigating the cause of my aunt's death recently. I found out some things about her, but I haven't figured it out yet, so I came to bother my aunt!" Mu Lanfeng no longer concealed it.
"Child, why do you have to be so obsessed with this? The dead are gone, and the living should stay the same." Aunt Xiao comforted.
"Aunt, I understand. I just want peace of mind. If I don't figure this out, I will be uneasy for the rest of my life!" Mu Lanfeng said lightly.
Seeing this, Aunt Xiao stopped persuading her: "Okay, Aunt will always stand by you!"
Mu Lanfeng smiled and said to Mu Lanxue, "Third sister, I have drawn a few new clothing styles. Are you interested in seeing them?"
"Of course I'm interested. Let me see it!" Mu Lanxue couldn't wait.
No matter what era it is, there are few girls who don’t like new clothes!
"I didn't bring it. I'll ask Hongyin to bring it to you later!" Mu Lanfeng shrugged and spread his hands.
"Don't bother Hongyin, I'll let Cuiping go with you to get it!" Mu Lanxue said readily.
Aunt Xiao poked Mu Lanxue's forehead and said helplessly: "Girl, you are so unreasonable!"
Mu Lanxue touched her forehead and acted coquettishly to Aunt Xiao: "Aunt, it hurts!"
Aunt Xiao rubbed Mu Lanxue's forehead distressedly and said with a smile: "It's okay, Aunt, be gentler next time!"
Mu Lanxue's face was filled with black lines. Next time?
Mu Lanfeng saw it all and felt nothing but envy!
The two sisters chatted in private for a while before Mu Lanfeng got up and left.
This winter is exceptionally cold. Mu Lanfeng wrapped his cloak tightly around himself, but still felt very cold!
As evening approached, the sky gradually darkened and the lights in the courtyards gradually came on.
The snow on the veranda and the path has been cleared.
Mu Lanfeng was walking slowly, thinking about Qiao's affairs in his mind. He was so absorbed in it that he didn't notice the person coming in front of him and almost bumped into him!
"You little bitch, you have no eyes! You almost bumped into your big sister!" Mu Hongliu cursed.
Mu Lanfeng raised his eyes, looked at Mu Hongliao with disdain, and said teasingly: "Is Fourth Sister's old problem coming back again?"
She didn't even know how to describe Mu Hongliao. She always suffered losses and never learned a lesson. It was simply speechless!
Mu Hongliao hid behind Mu Baiying, then popped her head out and said provocatively, "Little bitch, don't think I'm afraid of you!"
Mu Lanfeng didn't want to waste time arguing with her brainless fourth sister, so she turned sideways and tried to leave, but Mu Baiying didn't seem willing to give way to her.
"Little bitch, don't think that just because you've married into a rich family, you can ignore your elder sister. She's the legitimate daughter of the family, and you should give way to her!" Mu Hongliao said angrily.
Mu Baiying crossed her arms, looked at Mu Lanfeng with a half-smile, and said nothing, waiting for Mu Hongliu to perform.
"Really? Big sister, do you think so?" Mu Lanfeng was as calm as water, without any ripples.
Mu Baiying's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of sarcasm on her face, "Isn't what your fourth sister said wrong? Since ancient times, there has been an order of seniority and inferiority. First of all, I am the eldest sister and the legitimate daughter, and you are just the concubine's daughter born to my aunt, and the youngest. Shouldn't you give way to me?"
The Mu family's legitimate daughter is the identity that Mu Baiying values most, and it is also her face. She will never tolerate others trampling on it!
That was her self-proclaimed pride!
Just like Mu Xun thinks that Mu Baiying is the pride of the Mu family!
Mu Lanfeng said calmly: "I recognize the order of seniority, I also recognize that I was born by my aunt and I am the youngest, but as for you~ eh, it's hard to say!"
This sound made Mu Baiying inexplicably angry. She suppressed her anger and asked, "What do you mean? I am the daughter of the Mu family. The facts are there. Whether you recognize me or not, I am still the same!"
Mu Lanfeng showed a sarcastic look on his face and reminded: "According to the rules, only the second brother is the legitimate son of the Mu family. Big sister may have forgotten that you are not father's biological son!"
"You!" Mu Baiying's face flushed red, she could no longer suppress her anger, she was furious: "How dare you! My father has acknowledged me personally and treated me as his biological daughter. How dare you question my father!"
"Calm down, big sister. So what if father admits it? He just treats you as his biological child, not really!" Mu Lanfeng sneered.
Mu Baiying's eyes widened, she was filled with rage, and she raised her hand to slap Mu Lanfeng in the face.
"Pa!" The crisp sound of a slap frightened Mu Hongliao so much that she stepped back.
She thought Mu Lanfeng was beaten and was getting carried away, but she saw Mu Baiying covering her face and looking at Mu Lanfeng viciously.
"Hey! What's wrong with you, big sister?" Mu Lanfeng teased.
