Chapter 309
The Yangling Marquis Mansion can live without Lin Xuefu, but it absolutely cannot live without Xueliu. Mu Linyuan saw this very clearly.
Seeing that Mu Linyuan had given up on Lin Xuefu, Lin felt a chill in her heart, but she didn't say anything. She understood that Lin Xuefu could not escape today's disaster no matter what.
Feeling that the room was getting quieter, Mu Ziqian had obviously realized the outcome of the matter, but he had made a promise to Lin Xuefu just a few months ago, saying that he would protect her, but now Lin Xuefu was dead He was in danger, but there was nothing he could do...
No, absolutely not!
With his heart certain, Mu Ziqian quickly crawled towards Xueliu, knelt at her feet and begged, "Sister, I beg you, as long as you promise to keep Fuer, I will listen to you in everything, I will marry Yining The concubine of the Hou Mansion, I will go with you to see Mrs. Yi Ning, okay? Sister, I beg you..."
It is said that men never shed tears easily, but now Mu Ziqian was crying with tears streaming down his face for Lin Xuefu.
Xue Liu pursed her lips slightly, but she knew in her heart that although Mu Linyuan and Lin were already on her side, if Lin Xuefu was really sent away, everyone in Yanglinghou Mansion would inevitably have to fight with her. centrifugal.
After thinking for a moment, Xue Liu lowered her head to look at Mu Ziqian, and finally relaxed, "Then you should remember what you said today. If you dare to treat the concubine of the Yining Marquis Mansion badly in the future, or have sex with Lin Xuefu again, If you do something like this, don’t blame me for not being able to tolerate her.”
Hearing this, Mu Ziqian's face lit up and he quickly promised, "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely listen to you in the future."
Xue Liu wouldn't believe it. If Mu Ziqian was really obedient, he wouldn't have caused such absurdity today.
However, now is not the time to continue pursuing the investigation.
"I will give you three days to deal with your own affairs. After three days, I will take you and Mrs. Yining Hou to go to the East Lake for a lake tour. Whether you can catch the eye of Mrs. Yining Hou depends on Lin Xuefu's luck."
The threat behind his words was obvious. If Mu Ziqian dared to do anything, it would be Lin Xuefu who would be punished.
"Okay, I will definitely perform well in three days."
Xue Liu didn't say anything more, but took a deep look at Mu Ziqian, then got up and left Qi Fu Tang with Bi Hen.
In the front, there is the Queen who presses every step of the way and is constantly in trouble. In the middle, there are a group of wives and concubines from the Prince's Mansion who are secretly causing trouble and never stop. Later, there are people from the Yangling Marquis Mansion who are constantly holding back. Whenever one of them cannot be watched, trouble will occur, one after another. , Xue Liu only felt tired for a while.
It wasn't until he left Yanglinghou Mansion and got on the carriage that Xue Liu said to Bihen: "Let our people keep an eye on Lin Xuefu and make sure she doesn't cause any trouble again."
Right now, it's not the best time to touch Lin Xuefu. After all, once something happens to Lin Xuefu, Mu Ziqian won't be able to control it.
Bihen responded: "Master, don't worry, I will send the message shortly."
"Secretly give her some drugs that will damage her body so that she doesn't have the energy to do anything."
Although Xue Liu couldn't kill Lin Xuefu, it could prevent her from having a sound body to make trouble.
Bihen responded one by one, and Xueliu leaned against the carriage and closed her eyes.
…
Three days later, Xue Liu invited Yun Yuan to visit the East Lake, and Mu Ziqian, who was elegant and elegant, went with him.
The moment she saw Mu Ziqian, Yun Yuan was undoubtedly satisfied. He was handsome, gentle and courteous, just like the rumors.
In order to find a good match for Mu Ziqian, Xue Liu secretly made many arrangements over the years, and now she has finally put them to use.
Xue Liu and Yun Yuan were sitting in the cabin admiring the flowers and chatting. Mu Ziqian sat aside and made tea for the two of them. He occasionally added a few humorous words when the two talked about the happy things, causing laughter in the cabin.
Although Mu Ziqian is not smart, he is not stupid either. He is particularly accomplished at making women happy, so it is not difficult to muddle through.
One day later, Yun Yuan's good impression of Mu Ziqian was upgraded again. He was both talented and beautiful, gentle and not rigid. There was no doubt that he was an excellent husband candidate.
After separating from Yunyuan, the smile on Xue Liu's face faded, "She has performed well. Lin Xuefu can stay, but you have the final say as to whether you can marry her in the end."
Mu Ziqian frowned slightly, but after a moment he still responded, "I understand."
After the last trip to the lake, Xue Liu took Mu Ziqian to visit Yunyuan twice, and Yunyuan was very satisfied each time.
However, Shen Qing, the rightful owner of the other party to the marriage, is not in Shengjing now, so the marriage has not been completely settled. However, Xue Liu has basically made plans in her heart.
Marriage with the Yining Marquis Mansion is just a matter of time.
Unexpectedly, in September, Xue Liu received news that Yunyuan was seriously ill and now she could only stay in the house all day long, without even a cool breeze.
Xueliu went to Yininghou Mansion that day, braving the raindrops falling down, and when she walked to Yunyuan's courtyard, her clothes were soaked through.
"Why did Mrs. Shen suddenly become ill?" Xue Liu expressed concern after taking off her cloak from the door of the house to cool down her body.
Yunyuan raised a careless smile at the corner of her mouth, "It's an old problem, it's okay." As she said that, she grasped Xue Liu's cold fingertips, "Why did you come in such a rainy day? If you get caught in the rain and freeze, I won't be able to do it." It’s a sin.”
After saying that, he poured Xue Liu a cup of hot tea with his own hands.
Xue Liu took the tea handed over by Yun Yuan, with a flash of anger in her eyes, "What time of the day, Mrs. Shen still has the heart to joke with me. You are sick, but I don't even have anyone to chat with."
Xue Liu never concealed her situation from Yun Yuan. In a sense, the two of them had sympathy for each other, but one's capital was the wealth in his hands, while the other's capital was the love of his husband.
However, Yun Yuan was in extremely poor health and had no great use for her money. Although Xue Liu was favored by her husband, her favor sometimes ran out, and her mother-in-law and concubines were eyeing her, so she was also in a difficult situation.
Hearing Xue Liu's concern, Yunyuan's face relaxed and became filled with deep bitterness, "I have a hunch that my illness will never be cured again."
Xue Liu frowned slightly, "What are you talking about? You will be fine. Didn't we make an appointment to go out of the city to pray for blessings together every year?"
Yunyuan shook her head and did not answer, "Qingqing will be back soon. When the time comes, let her meet Ziqian and finalize the marriage. Then I can feel at ease. From now on, I will ask you to take more care of her."
Every word seems to be conveying last words.
Although Xue Liu mostly used Yun Yuan, after getting along for a while, she inevitably felt some compassion for Yun Yuan who had suffered for many years. Now that she heard her say this, she couldn't help but feel slightly uncomfortable, "Just remember, You can handle Qingqing and Ziqian's marriage yourself, I don't care."
As he said that, he looked away a little depressed.
Seeing the cold atmosphere, Yun Yuan grabbed her palm and smiled, "I won't say anything anymore, that's alright."
After returning from the Yining Hou Mansion, Xue Liu's heart has been calm.
She was raised by Marquis Yangling and had no contact with her parents since she was a child. Even though Marquis Yangling died of illness and she was able to get close to her parents, some cracks still grew bigger.
And Yun Yuan was the person who treated her best after Yang Linghou.
Although Xue Liu is full of power and scheming, she is not hard-hearted. She undoubtedly likes and is grateful for Yunyuan. She likes her sincere simplicity and is grateful for her constant concern and companionship.
So when she learned about Yunyuan's physical condition, Xue Liu couldn't help but start to worry. She not only wanted Yunyuan to live, but also wanted Shen Qing to marry Mu Ziqian.
Seeing that Xue Liu had been distracted since she came back, Bihen said warmly: "Master, are you worried about Mrs. Shen's health?"
Xue Liu responded softly: "Well, you go to my small warehouse to find some medicinal materials to nourish the body. I will go to His Highness and ask the imperial doctor to come and diagnose Mrs. Shen's pulse in his name."
With that said, Xue Liu had already stood up and walked quickly outside the house.
Bihen sighed softly, she had long understood that for Yunyuan, Xueliu had gradually regarded her as a mother, a mother who would sincerely care about her and consider everything from her perspective, which was exactly what Lin had never done. Been there.
Everyone in the Yanglinghou Mansion felt that Xue Liu was not close to the Mu family, but only Bi Hen knew that Xue Liu was just too smart and could see the thoughts of everyone in the Mu family, and that he was mixed with compensation, guilt and calculation. She doesn't like the feelings, that's all.
Chu Lingxiu doted on Xue Liu, and Xue Liu begged him for Yun Yuan, so when he entered the palace, he invited the head of Taiyuan Hospital out of the palace. However, the answer he got was exactly the same: Yun Yuan had a heart disease, and now her heart is sick. He is already dead, so naturally he doesn’t have much time left. If he can barely survive this winter, he will be considered lucky.
After receiving such news, Xue Liu smiled even less, which made Chu Lingxiu feel so distressed that he stayed in her courtyard for several nights.
Because the two of them lived together every day, Chu Lingxiu accidentally discovered that Xue Liu was drinking medicinal food. Xue Liu was very relaxed and said that it was just a medicinal food to nourish the body. Chu Lingxiu did not have too much doubts about this.
A few days later, Shen Qing came back, and Xue Liu went to the Yangling Marquis Mansion to see Yun Yuan again, but she still didn't meet Shen Qing.
Xue Liu could feel that Shen Qing was deliberately avoiding her. As for the reason for avoiding her, it was not difficult to guess. It was nothing more than a matter between him and Mu Ziqian.
Not only did Mu Ziqian disagree with this marriage, but Shen Qing also disagreed. However, Xue Liu didn't care whether the two agreed or not, because from beginning to end, all Xue Liu wanted was the connection behind the marriage. As for the two of them, After getting married...if she didn't love each other, she would be satisfied with the couple being content with each other.
Yunyuan's health was worse than before, and she would cough from time to time even if the cold wind wasn't blowing.
Xue Liu was worried, but had no choice but to go more frequently.
On October 24th, the first snowfall of the year fell in Shengjing. The weather suddenly became cold. Xueliu was worried about Yunyuan's health. When the cold wind subsided a little, she went out with Bihen in the snow. Prince's Mansion.
Fortunately, Yunyuan's health was fine. Xue Liu talked with her and gave her the peace charm that she had just gone to Chenglu Temple to ask for a few days ago. However, Mu Ziqian got some credit from it.
As Xue Liu thought, Yun Yuan was very happy and even took the initiative to mention Shen Qing and Mu Ziqian's marriage.
Seeing that Yunyuan was in good condition, Xue Liu also said goodbye and returned to the Prince's Mansion.
But in the evening, Xue Liu got the news that Yunyuan had fainted.
She had placed people in the Yining Hou Mansion, so it was easy to know that Yun Yuan was knocked down by Shen Qing. Xue Liu was worried, but she also knew that she could not intervene in the matter.
If Xue Liu wants to get the result she wants, today's situation is a must.
There is no doubt that Xue Liu is more concerned about the future of Yanglinghou Mansion than Yun Yuan.
