Chapter 2: Talking with a gun and a stick

Xu Muhua fainted, and naturally there was a flurry of activity.

After the doctor in the palace diagnosed that she was just too frightened and fainted, and there was nothing serious, Xu's mother was relieved.

Seeing that it was getting late, she sent everyone else away, and stayed for a while to instruct the maid before leaving in a hurry.

She also had to go to the old lady. Such a big commotion in the middle of the night must have been known to the old lady. The old lady was old, and she would definitely be worried if she didn't explain clearly.

As for the rest, she had to wait until dawn when Muhua woke up and asked clearly.

The next day, near noon, Xu Muhua was still sitting there eating meat with big mouthfuls, and heard the maid say that her mother had brought people over.

She was so scared that she quickly hid the meat and asked the maid to clean it up so that it would not be exposed. She quickly returned to the inner room, took off her shoes and socks, lay on the bed, and covered herself with a thin blanket.

When Xu's mother led a few people in, she saw her weak and haggard face.

But...

Xu's mother sniffed, with doubts in her eyes.

How did she smell the smell of elbow?

Xu Muhua also noticed the confusion on Xu's mother's face, and quickly said: "Mom, why are you here? And they are..."

Before Xu's mother could reply, the woman standing next to her shouted exaggeratedly: "Oh my God, Muhua girl, how come you don't even remember your aunt? Did you hit your head? It's pitiful, if it gets out, I don't know what outsiders will say about our Xu family!"

Hearing this, Xu's mother's face suddenly became a little ugly, and she said unhappily: "Muhua just temporarily forgot some things."

After Xu Muhua woke up that day, she said that she had forgotten some things, probably because of the fall on her head. Xu's mother felt distressed, but didn't ask much.

And Xu Muhua also guessed their identities.

This aunt is actually the mistress of the Xu family next door, and the daughter-in-law of Mr. Xu's sons and brothers. But when Mr. Xu was young, the two brothers separated, and in this generation, the relationship between them was not harmonious.

After the separation, one side was thriving, while the other side was getting worse and worse.

The neighbor would always come to the house and make demands under the pretext that they were brothers, and would cry and make a fuss if they were not satisfied. Moreover, they always came empty-handed and left with full loads, just like begging for money!

She looked as if she had suddenly realized something, "It's my aunt. You're so nervous and reacted so strongly, I thought you were my mother!"

After she finished speaking, she pretended not to notice the different expressions on the scene. She looked at Li and asked innocently, "Aunt, you came to visit me. What good things did you bring me?"

Li was stunned for a moment and didn't react. Xu Muhua's eyes widened immediately and she exclaimed in disbelief, "Aunt, you didn't come to visit a patient like me with nothing in your hands, did you?"

"Last time my second cousin was sick, you came to the house and said that my mother should have brought century-old ginseng to visit the patient! My mother did bring it to the patient later! This time I fell on my head, you should at least bring me two century-old ginsengs, right? Reciprocity is the way of life!"

Xu's mother couldn't help but tilt her head to the side and cover her mouth with a handkerchief, with an unconcealable smile in her eyes.

Li's face was like a dyeing shop!

Hasn't this damn girl always been a brainless person? Why is she talking with a gun and a stick today?

She wanted to walk away! But thinking of her purpose this time, she still forced herself to say, "How can I, my aunt is not such an impolite person, of course she brought a gift."

Xu's mother curled her lips secretly after hearing this.

That box of snacks is a gift!

Li was afraid that Xu Muhua would say something shocking again, so she hurriedly pulled her daughter over and said, "Let's go out first and let the two children talk."

After that, she stretched out her hand and dragged Xu's mother away without waiting for her to say anything, and also called all the maids out.

Li's daughter sat down beside the bed and looked at her worriedly: "Muhua, do you still remember me?"

Xu Muhua smiled: "Now I remember, you are Sister Yuyao!"

Xu Yuyao, another villain in the book, also had a miserable end in the book. On the surface, Xu Yuyao had a good relationship with the original owner and Xu Jinyu, but in fact, she always looked down on the original owner in her heart, and even envied the original owner.

Because she is also a member of the Xu family after all, and the original owner is just an orphan brought back from the battlefield by Old Master Xu. As a result, she, an outsider, became a proper lady of the Xu family and enjoyed good resources that she, a real member of the Xu family, had never enjoyed.

Many of the things that the original owner did later in the book were instigated by this Xu Yuyao.

Xu Yuyao couldn't help but feel relieved when she heard that she still remembered her. She asked a few questions with concern and then started chatting with Xu Muhua.

Xu Muhua accompanied her quietly, wanting to see what she was going to do.

"Muhua, how can you attend the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet like this?"

Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet?

Xu Muhua searched in her memory and quickly found the relevant matters.

She deliberately didn't say anything, just smiled bitterly.

Xu Yuyao's eyes flashed, and she said casually, "Even if you can enter the palace like this, I'm afraid someone will need to follow you to take care of you."

Xu Muhua narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Xu Yuyao, and asked bluntly, "Sister Yuyao, do you want to take care of me and go into the palace with me?"

Xu Yuyao didn't expect her to ask so bluntly. Her expression froze for a moment, and she came to her senses and shook her head quickly, "No, I don't!"

"Then what should I do? The maid beside me can't follow you into the palace. She can only wait outside the palace gate."

Xu Muhua looked very distressed.

Xu Yuyao smiled, and pretended to be intimate and gently scratched the tip of Xu Muhua's nose, "You can bring sister Jinyu with you! You are both ladies of the Duke's Mansion, and there is nothing wrong with entering the palace together. It is a natural thing."

Xu Muhua:

After she said that, Xu Muhua was really confused about what she wanted to do for a moment.

She thought that Xu Yuyao wanted to enter the palace herself, so she came to try to persuade her to take her with her. Now it seems that is not the case. Is she here to be a lobbyist for Xu Jinyu?

Xu Muhua thought for a moment, sighed softly and said: "Sister Yuyao doesn't want to enter the palace, what a pity, I was thinking that the maid can't be brought, so it's better to bring Sister Yuyao, after all, we are about the same age. Since Sister Yuyao doesn't want to, forget it, I will mention this matter to mother again!"

Xu Yuyao couldn't control the expression on her face!

"Muhua, I..."

Xu Muhua held her hand, looked at Xu Yuyao sincerely, and said, "I understand Sister Yuyao's concern! Don't worry, I will never let you down!"

Xu Yuyao was so angry that she almost threw her hand away!
