Chapter 113 Why isn’t he here?
"profound?"
There was an obvious silence in the field for a moment, and everyone's eyes were intentionally or unintentionally tilted towards Mu Lianzhi.
Mu Lianzhi naturally felt it.
But she didn't react at all, not even averting her eyes, as if everything had nothing to do with her. Once she calmed down, everyone's interest and reaction also waned, and finally they all withdrew their gazes.
Mu Lianzhi did not ignore the movements around her. She knew everything clearly in her mind. It seemed that the Marquis' Mansion knew about her affair with Beitang Yi, openly or secretly. And judging from the look in her eyes, it seemed that Sang Xi also knew about it.
What a dirty family indeed!
Beitang Yi's marriage will bring new changes to the Marquis' Mansion and her.
It is true that plans cannot keep up with changes.
Retracting her gaze, the old lady continued:
"Master Beitang will get married sooner or later. Marriage won't necessarily change anything, but who the other person is is very important. You should also pay attention to this matter, so as not to violate taboos and bring disaster."
"My son understands."
"You must be more careful in your actions in the future. The matters between the two children and the Prince of Fuguo's Mansion must be completed as soon as possible to prevent any more troubles."
"Yes~"
He answered her incoherently with a dazed look in his eyes. Ling Yuchi was in a trance. He deliberately mentioned this at this time because he wanted to see the reaction and attitude of Mu Lianzhi and his family.
Although it was a bit bad, ever since the last accident with Sang Xi, he was like a cat that had tasted the sweetness of marrow and was actually thankful for Ling Wenzhan's death every day.
He died, and he felt a sense of relief in his heart.
He used to have the least presence in the mansion, but now he is the most powerful one in the mansion.
What he was thinking at this moment was that if Beitang Yi let go in the future, would he be able to keep both women? If not, he could at least have them for a while.
Of all the people present, her sister-in-law is the most beautiful, gentle and charming. It is a great blessing in life to have such a woman as a companion.
Why wasn't he born a few years earlier and met her earlier?
How perfect it would be if I had a son and a daughter with her~
pity--
Although he thought about it, Ling Yuchi didn't dare to show any expression on his face, especially at this critical moment.
The matter was almost over, and the group stood up and prepared to leave at the same time. When turning around, Mu Lianzhi did not forget to smile and congratulate the eldest wife again:
"Sister-in-law is so lucky to have a son and a daughter who are both so successful. Congratulations to sister-in-law and daughter."
"Yeah, congratulations~"
Jiang was also happy, but when she saw her face, she couldn't feel warm. Recently, she was always inexplicably uneasy. She pulled Ling Fei'er and was about to leave quickly, but Mu Lianzhi suddenly turned his attention to Ling Yuchi:
"I haven't congratulated you yet, big brother. You've worked hard."
"No, I don't dare."
Also because of his covetous heart, Ling Yuchi felt nervous unconsciously.
When he did this, Jiang suddenly stopped walking and turned to look at him. To be honest, she still knew when her man raised his butt to pee or poop.
However, before she could further understand, she heard Mu Lianzhi say:
"Hey, big brother, your jade pendant is so unique. Is it the 'Pen Flickering Dragon Snake' that Auntie Sang bought for you? I always thought that big brother preferred swordplay and gunplay rather than literary pursuits."
"I wonder if you could lend it to me to have a look?"
"The eldest young master is getting promoted, and as his second aunt, I don't know what to give him to congratulate him. This jade has a good meaning. It is made by Jinyulou, so the quality must be good. I still remember it clearly. I think the 'snake' must have been carved very lifelike, right?"
"If it's suitable, I'll ask the boss to help order one for the young master. I wish our young master a successful career and a bright future."
While speaking in a high-sounding manner, Mu Lianzhi deliberately emphasized the word "snake".
If Sang Xi dares to make her unhappy, she will not tolerate her. This is just another warning to her!
Ling Wenzhan died at the mouth of a pit viper. The Marquis' Mansion is now very sensitive to snakes.
Sure enough, as soon as she said this, everyone's face changed. The first one to glare at Sang Xi was the old lady, with such a ferocious look that she seemed to want to torture her to death on the spot.
The same went for Jiang. She had originally suspected that Mu Lianzhi was also going to hook up with Ling Yuchi, but at that moment, she remembered what happened between Sang Xi and Ling Yuchi. When she heard about the jade pendant, her attention was diverted, and she wished she could tear her into pieces.
As the saying goes, "What you believe in is what you will get, and what you fear is what will come to you." How could Sang Xi not understand that? Her nerves seemed to be stabbed by something, and she waved her hands anxiously:
"No, it's not me..."
Ling Wenzhan’s death had nothing to do with her.
She panicked and suddenly met Mu Lianzhi's teasing eyes. She realized that she had mentioned this on purpose. In an instant, Sang Xi regretted it so much that her intestines turned green.
She shouldn't have messed with her.
This is not just about the jade pendant. Compared to the jade pendant, the pattern makes her more frightened at this moment.
She now had some idea of the character of the Marquis's family, and she was really scared.
But Yue Huang just kept waving her hands and she couldn't say a word.
At this time, Ling Yuchi looked at the jade pendant on his waist and explained:
"You must have seen it wrong. The carvings on my jade pendant are of tigers and leopards. Maybe it's because its tail is a little long and its body is a little thin, so it looks a bit like a snake from a distance... I just put it on casually, so I'm afraid I can't help you, sister-in-law."
He was not particular about clothing and other items and did not know much about them. He would just wear whatever the maid gave him. When he took a closer look, he was surprised to find that the carving on the jade pendant was very delicate.
"Oh, I just asked casually. This jade pendant looks very suitable for Big Brother."
After kneeling and saying goodbye, Mu Lianzhi did not stay any longer. When she turned around, she glanced at Sang Xi intentionally or unintentionally, and then left with her maid.
……
All the way back to Yuxiuyuan, Mu Lianzhi's mind was full of Beitang Yi's possible marriage. Suddenly, she wanted to see him a little, but she didn't know who he would marry.
She was distracted for a moment, and she felt someone bumped her arm:
"what happened?"
"Miss, look, someone is flying a kite in the yard next door. It's a red koi. It's so big and beautiful."
After a pause, Mu Lianzhi's heart was empty. Looking up, she saw a big red kite floating in the blue sky, so clear and so dazzling.
He is going out and won’t come over for the next few days?
This was the agreement they made after chatting about daily life when he took her to the hospital for the first time and when he sent her back. If he was delayed for a long time due to something, in order to avoid her going through so much trouble, the neighboring family would fly a red kite. As long as they saw it, it meant that he would not be there for the next day, until the neighboring family released the green signal again.
Of course, if she wants to go, she can go.
Why aren't you here today?
The more I want to see him...
Gazing at the red in the sky, Mu Lianzhi's heart suddenly felt hollowed out. When she looked away, she saw Xia Xiu and Leng Yu also appeared not far from the door.
