Qin's face turned even uglier when she heard this. "What did I say? A jinx! Gu Yunran is indeed a jinx. So many things have happened to her since she married into the Mu family."

Qin hurried to Mu Qianxue's yard. Old Madam Mu was old and could not walk as fast as her. Mother Mu supported Old Madam Mu and walked behind her.

"Madam, it's snowing heavily and the roads are slippery. Please watch your step." Mother Mu carefully reminded Madam Mu.

Madam Mu was not in a hurry either. She walked slowly and steadily, frowning, not knowing what she was thinking. Mother Mu supported Madam Mu and walked forward. After a while, Mother Mu pursed her lips and said, "Madam, what do you think about this..."

Before Mother Mu could finish her words, Old Madam Mu interrupted her and sighed, "I'm really old and useless. There are not many people in this courtyard who really listen to what I say."

Old Madam Mu was walking towards Mu Qianxue's yard with her hand on Mu Mama's hand, and she happened to meet Gu Yunran. Gu Yunran hurried over after learning that Mu Qianxue had been stabbed.

She saw Madam Mu bow slightly and said, "Grandma."

"Get up."

Madam Mu said something, and Mother Mu supported her and walked with Gu Yunran beside her. The two of them were silent and faced each other all the way until they arrived at Mu Qianxue's yard.

Qin asked the court physician, who said the injury was not serious and no vital parts were hit. It was just some superficial injuries and would be fine after taking some medicine and resting for a while.

But Qin looked at the pale face of her most proud daughter and wiped away tears with heartache. "She's injured like this, how painful must it be? How can she be fine?"

Mu Qianxue coughed violently a few times while covering her chest. She reached out and stroked Qin's cheek, a sweet smile on her lips: "Mother, Xue'er is really fine. Look, isn't Xue'er fine?"

Seeing Mu Qianxue being so sensible, Qin's heart was broken. Her eyes were red all the time. "You're coughing so hard, and you still say it's okay. You're just too kind. You're willing to put yourself in a difficult position just to comfort your mother."

"aunt."

When Gu Yunran walked in, she heard Mu Qianxue's words and her violent cough. Her pretty brows knitted slightly, but she quickly changed into a distressed expression as she looked at Mu Qianxue. She first bowed to Qin, then asked, "Second sister, how did you get hurt?"

As soon as she woke up this morning, she heard that Mu Qianxue was going to buy her a kitten in the wind and snow. She didn't even bother to wash her face and hurried to stop her. However, when she arrived at Mu Qianxue's yard, she was told that she had left long ago and left without even having breakfast.

Gu Yunran has repeatedly expressed that if she buys a new cat after it dies, it won't be the same cat as the original one. She doesn't know why she insists on buying a new one.

I don't even know why he was stabbed on the street.

It would have been fine if Gu Yunran hadn't spoken. As soon as she opened her mouth, Qin stood up and pounced on Gu Yunran like a mad dog. "Gu Yunran, you unlucky star! Since you married into the Mu family, my daughter has either been poisoned or assassinated. My poor child has suffered so much! I'm going to fight you!"

Madam Mu frowned and before she could speak, Ruizhu stepped forward and stood in front of Gu Yunran, reaching out to grab Qin's wrist and asking her to control it.

"Madam, please stop talking nonsense."

"The old lady has already found out about Song'er's allergies. Someone framed Second Madam. This matter has been investigated. As for the last time Song'er was scratched by the cat, this time it was entirely because of Fourth Miss..."

Ruizhu didn't say the rest, but her meaning was self-evident. "We are all smart people. You must not wrongly accuse Second Madam for no reason again."

"As for the assassination of the Second Young Miss, I have already reported it to the Second Master, and the Second Master will give her an explanation."

Ruizhu held Qin's hand and let go after she finished speaking. Qin rubbed her painful wrist, glared at Ruizhu, but did not dare to say another word.

Gu Yunran's face was expressionless. She would occasionally glance at Mu Qianxue and noticed that she didn't show much expression. However, what she didn't know was that Mu Qianxue clenched her hands tightly under the quilt and looked at Gu Yunran with a hint of guilt. "Second sister-in-law... ahem... I'm sorry, my mother was so outspoken that she offended you. Please don't take it to heart."

Gu Yunran smiled and said, "There may be a misunderstanding here, but I won't take it to heart."

Mu Qianxue smiled softly: "Thank you, second sister-in-law!"

After she finished speaking, she started coughing violently again, as if she was going to cough out her lungs. Qin was so distressed that she kept asking the imperial physician to prescribe some good medicine so that she could get better quickly.

Madam Mu's eyes darkened, and she didn't know what she was thinking. After a long while, she said, "Since Xue'er is injured, let's take good care of her."

"Originally, we were going to hold a welcoming banquet for you tomorrow, but I think you need to rest for a few more days. Let's talk about it after you're better."

"Yes, Xue'er always listens to grandma."

"Alright, let's all go. Don't disturb Xue'er's rest."

As soon as Old Madam Mu gave the order, many people who came to see Mu Qianxue left one by one. Qin was reluctant to let them go, but Mu Qianxue said she was really tired, so Qin left reluctantly. Before leaving, she did not forget to remind Mu Qianxue to take care of herself and take medicine on time.

Just as Gu Yunran was about to leave, Mu Qianxue called her. Gu Yunran looked at Mu Qianxue with a questioning look. Mu Qianxue said with a hint of guilt, "Second sister-in-law, I'm sorry. The cat Xue'er bought was accidentally lost."

Gu Yunran smiled indifferently: "It doesn't matter, I don't want to raise it anymore. I understand my second sister's thoughts."

After that, Gu Yunran said a few more words of concern, and then left with Ruizhu. Ruizhu supported Gu Yunran and reminded him, "Second Madam, watch your step."

Gu Yunran nodded, holding Ruizhu's hand and walking slowly. She leaned close to Ruizhu's ear and whispered, "I always feel like there's a pair of eyes staring at me."

Ruizhu nodded. She also felt it, but she turned her head quietly and saw nothing. It was not until Ruizhu helped Gu Yunran out of Mu Qianxue's yard that Chang Xiao stood out from the corner.

He pushed open the door and walked into the room to cover Mu Qianxue with a blanket. He gritted his teeth and said, "Miss, this second wife is annoying just by looking at her. Why don't I go and get rid of her?"

If it weren't for the Second Madam, how could the young lady have been attacked when she was about to go out to buy a cat?

Seeing the young lady injured, Chang Xiao felt heartbroken.

Bang!

Mu Qianxue no longer looked sickly. She stood up and slapped Chang Xiao in the face: "Idiot!"

"You and I are still relatively inexperienced. You thought that if you could quietly get rid of Gu Yunran, Second Brother wouldn't be able to find you. If you got rid of her, you would be sending yourself to death."

"But..." Chang Xiao pursed his lips. After a long while, he mustered up the courage to say, "There's an order from above to get rid of Gu Yunran as soon as possible."

"I am worried that the young lady will be punished for her hesitation."

As Chang Xiao spoke, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Mu Qianxue. After Mu Qianxue opened it and read it, she tilted her head back and closed her eyes. After a while, she opened her eyes and threw the letter into the brazier.
