Chapter 176

It was already afternoon when the mother of Yingzhou Road came back. She came in and asked Mu Yun for An, and said, "When she replied to her, the things were handed over to Mama Qi as her wife told her. The old slave also went to see Jingwen. She was in good spirits today. She even said a few words to me when she saw me, saying that Mrs. Lu was worried about her, and she would come to kowtow to her when she was out of confinement."

Mu Yun nodded after hearing this and asked again: "Have you ever found out what happened to Mu Xin?"

Lu Mama bowed and said, "I asked Xu Mama from the Princess's Mansion for a while. It was said that Mu Xin's actions caused great displeasure to Lord Zhou. Lord Zhou directly sent him to a farm near Yingzhou. According to Mr. Xu, Lord Zhou meant that he would stay there for three years and reflect on it before saying what he said."

Yingzhou, Mu Yun thought for a while before he remembered that Yingzhou was the ancient Northeast region? She forgot whether it belonged to Heilongjiang or Liaoji. But for the people here, it was already the legendary bitter and cold place. In this era, the Northeast had not yet become a granary! There should not be any rice planting there. I don’t know if there is corn, but the supplies should be relatively scarce. For Mu Xin, a southerner who has been worrying about food and clothing since childhood, this punishment is not too heavy.

Now I don’t know what kind of constitution Jingwen is thinking now, whether she plans to divorce her or just waste her time.

Mu Yun must have advocated divorce directly. But what should I do with Jingwen's two sons? Even in the 21st century, children from single-parent families will be somewhat discriminated against. What's more, here?

No one can help Jingwen with this matter, she can only rely on herself. A few days later, Mu Yun heard the mother who went to deliver things that Jingwen didn't go back to the Mu family in the end, but she still asked the little maid and Qi's mother to go back to the Mu family to help Mu Xin get a luggage, and even made two big sweaters for him with the skin in her dowry.

After hearing this, Mu Yun sighed softly, and all this seemed to be reasonable. When some things cannot be changed, they can only obey or surrender.

Looking up at the blue sky outside the window, Muyun only hopes that one day all the kind women in this world can get the freedom and self-improvement they really want.

Although Jingwen was extremely unwilling and wronged, she had made up her mind to divorce Mu Xin. However, the young and ignorant eldest son asked her naively: "Mom, if you move to the princess and queen, will you not go back to our house? Then can I see my father again in the future? Will I have no father in the future?" With just one sentence, he easily defeated Jingwen's defense line.

There was no way that Jingwen could tolerate other people's strange eyes, but she really couldn't bear to have her child be ridiculed. In the end, she hugged her eldest son and cried. So what if she felt wronged?

Even the princess felt wronged, but in the end she had to compromise. What could she do? After crying, she opened the dowry box and picked up the skin and asked the embroiderer in the princess's mansion to help make two big sweaters. She originally thought that she would go home to get some clothes for Mu Xin in person, but her mother Qi stopped her: "You are not out of confinement yet, so you can't be so worried and tiring. Besides, you have been tossing for a while last time, and your body can't bear it. Let me go, lend me Xiaolu for use, and keep it for you." Seeing that my godmother insisted on doing this, Jingwen had to go with her.

Mu Xin was scolded by Zhou Qing and asked him to stay in the woodshed for two days. After coming out, Zhou Qing was not relieved and directly demoted him to a remote place like Yingzhou. Everyone said that he offended the master and the princess this time, and he would have no future in the future. He would lose his past diligence. Seeing that the guards who flattered him and the servants of the Zhou family changed their faces, Mu Xin couldn't help but feel very regretful.

When he returned home, he looked at the deserted yard at first. When he got indoors, he felt a little strange. When he saw Jingwen's dowry box and the things he used for daily use disappeared, he felt panicked. The little maid bought it by Jingwen with private money, so he followed her, and there was only an old cook left in the house. Seeing Mu Xin coming over to ask her, he suddenly said aloofly: "The master followed General Zhou and the wife of Mrs. Zhou, but his family helped her clean up the dowry, saying that she went to the princess's house for confinement. Mrs. Wen had sent some supplements and black chickens and crucian carp, but later she asked the mother to take it away."

Mu Xin sighed, what are these things? Since he came out of the mansion, he had not eaten a bite of hot rice, but now his stomach became hungry. After hearing this, the woman asked, "Is the master hungry? I'm going to make a fire now, how about giving you a bowl of noodles?"

Mu Xin nodded and looked up and glanced around the kitchen. He remembered that the kitchen was filled with a lot of ingredients. Why did he see nothing at this moment? He thought it was the old woman who was not at home, so he frowned and asked, "I remember there was always a lot of food in the kitchen before, so why did he lose everything now?"

When the old woman heard this, she wiped her tears and said, "It's all useless. At noon that day, the old slave steamed a bowl of meat and egg custard for the eldest master. The eldest slave ran in the yard for a whole morning. He was so hungry that he couldn't wait for the old slave to bring it to the main hall for food. He sat on the door of the kitchen and started eating. As soon as Aunt Ling walked past here and saw it, he pointed at the old slave and scolded him, saying something about stomping on the high and holding low. The old slave didn't dare to talk back, just thinking that it would be fine when she finished scolding. However, Aunt Ling fell in love with the lean loofah soup stewed on the stove and asked who it was for. The old slave said it was for the wife. The master also knew that the wife's baby was not very good, and her legs and feet were swollen in the last two months."

Mu Xin coughed uncomfortablely after hearing this. In fact, he didn't know that he didn't seem to have spoken to his wife well in the past two months, and he didn't know that her legs were swollen.

The old woman seemed not to notice his discomfort and continued to say on her own: "When the wife came over, she learned about this, so she taught Lao Nu a few recipes, saying that it was to remove edema and asked Lao Nu to make some food for her wife every day. In fact, there was no valuable thing, it was just some loofahs, winter melons, red and green beans, and other ingredients to reduce swelling. Who knew that when Aunt Ling heard that she was made for her wife, she was very annoyed. She went up and smashed the pottery pottery. She also smashed the other things in the kitchen, and even scolded her. Not to mention the old master's child, even if she was so old, she had never seen such a fierce person!

The scene scared the eldest young master to cry. When the lady heard the movement, she came from the backyard and said something to Aunt Ling. She didn't know how Aunt Ling had such a vicious thought. She even carried her head and ran her head to the lady. Fortunately, Xiao Lu was smart and blocked her grandmother's front, so she didn't let Aunt Hong hit her grandmother's stomach directly. Otherwise, the young master wouldn't know what happened. In this way, the lady accidentally fell to the ground and saw Hong on the spot. Now, although the old slave washed the door clean, she still gathered a group of flies there from time to time. It wasn't it that the smell of blood!"

Following the old woman's finger, Mu Xin saw many mosquitoes and flies gathered in that place. Looking closely, he could see blood vaguely. He turned to look at the woman and asked, "What you said is the truth. Is it really Ling Yue's first choice that day?"

The old woman replied quickly, "The master said this and ruined the old slave. The old slave was left to the master. It has been almost fifteen years since he stayed in this house. How could he not be with the master? Although the dead are the most important, the old slave has to say that this Aunt Ling is really not a good-for-nothing lamp, and she pretends to be in front of you. As soon as the master goes out, he acts as a domineering at home. Every day, he clamors to cut new clothes and get new jewelry. Then Mrs. Wen asked someone to give her a few pieces of material, but she insisted on seeing her. The lady was so annoyed by her that she had no choice but to give her one piece. Who knew that she was not satisfied and insisted on giving her two pieces. The lady was pregnant and worked hard, so she was too lazy to care about her, so she had to give her another piece."

Mu Xin believed the old woman. Their family was not very wealthy. On weekdays, they only bought some ordinary materials for clothes. However, the wife often received some rewards from Mrs. Wen and the princess, so there were a lot of good materials. He did see that Ling Yue often wore clothes that were waiting for tribute to silk. Even if he had supplemented Ling Yue with a lot of money in private, it would be not enough for these clothes. Then the wife could only use private houses to supplement the clothes.

Pian Lingyue often complains that her wife always treats her harshly. Now that I think about it, if Jingwen treats her really, how could she still wear new clothes and jewelry all day long? Thinking of this, Mu Xin couldn't help but pat her head, thinking that she was such a bastard, and she couldn't even understand this! Now that she has hurt her wife's heart, I don't know if it can be saved?

But is Jingwen really so virtuous? Who knows this?

...

About two months later, Tian Muyun was pruning the branches of the flower room, so he heard from the servant that Jingwen came to pay her respects.

Mu Yun turned to the flower hall to see her. When she met Mu Yun smiled and said, "You are just in good health, why can't you be born at home and raise it? Why do you run so far away?"

After seeing Mu Yun, Jingwen sat down and said, "Now I am already very happy. This time the princess told her godmother that I was wronged during childbirth and had to force me to have biconfinement. Otherwise, she would have come to pay my respects to you. If the princess and wife had not decided on me that day, why wouldn't we behave like this now?" Jingwen said as she turned red.

Mu Yun quickly advised, "Okay, okay, don't do this. Although I have been confinement, it's not over a hundred days. You can't shed tears, don't hurt your eyes again."

Upon hearing this, Jingwen quickly wiped her tears with a veil and said with a smile: "Look at me, it turns out that I am here to pay my respects to my wife. If you make her sad, it's mine, it's wrong. I should punish you."

Mu Yun smiled and said, "How many years have we been in love? No need to say this. As long as you are well, Mother Qi hasn't come back with you?"

Jingwen replied: "My godmother originally wanted to come back with me, but my eldest son has a little cough recently, and it has been a little bit like this these two days. My godmother was afraid that we were not at home and no one would look at him. He would go out to play crazy and would aggravate his condition, so she didn't come over. She said she would come back in a few days to pay her respects to her wife."

Mu Yun smiled: "Mama Qi is probably happy to stay with you. Qi Yue is grown up. She always goes out for me on weekdays. Mama Qi is alone in the mansion, so it is inevitable that she will be a little deserted. You have a daughter who is filial to you and a grandson accompany you. It's so lively, I'm afraid I don't want to come back."

Jingwen hurriedly replied, "No, my godmother has always cared about Qi Yue. But my master went to another place and there was only the three of us left at home, which was also very deserted. My godmother could be a companion with me there, talk to me all day long, and I also felt that there was a backbone in everything."

Mu Yun took a sip of tea before slowly asking: "Have you moved back?"

Wen Yan Jingwen nodded: "I moved back after the confinement period. Otherwise, I should have come here long ago. I didn't have a master at home for two months, and it was so dirty that I couldn't see it after cleaning up for a long time."

Mu Yun sighed in his heart, but when he heard Jingwen's answer, he still felt a little frustrated. No matter how much a woman in this world suffers, she still has to compromise. She sighed and said, "You have always been a clean person, and the house must be clean."

Perhaps seeing Mu Yun’s mood was a little depressed, Jingwen lowered her head and said, “I know that the wife is speaking for me in her heart, but this is the way of the world. Before he left, he went to the princess’s mansion to see me and said he was sorry for me. A big man actually knelt for me. What can I do? Even if he was not right before, this kneeling would only disappear.”

She smiled sarcastically: "If I continue to hold on, the people around me will only say that I don't understand the truth. If I am really alone, it's okay if he does whatever he wants, but now I am a mother, and I don't think about myself, but I have to think about my children. What should I do if my two children really make a fuss? Now I understand why Chunxiao, who is around Princess Jin, would rather comb himself than marry, even Yueli and Xueli, who are around the princess, have this plan. If we women marry well, it's fine. How should we live this life? It's better to be alone." As she spoke, Jingwen was already full of tears.

Mu Yun felt very uncomfortable when he listened to her words!
