Chapter 283 Well done
After arranging things here and making sure everything was correct, Xu Muhua took Liang Ming and Wu'er back to the Chengguo Mansion.
In the evening, Xu's mother called the three siblings to the main courtyard, and after caring for each of them, she looked at Xu Muhua and asked, "Muhua, what have you been busy with these two days? I see you running out every day. Although mother said that she gave you the right card, you have to keep a sense of propriety, understand?"
Don't let your heart go wild! She is now fourteen and will soon be a marriageable woman. She can't think like before. If there is a bad reputation, it will be difficult to talk about marriage!
After Xu Muhua swallowed the food in her mouth, she replied, "Mom, don't worry, I know. I won't do anything rash. By the way, I want to go see Arong tomorrow. Arong told me two days ago that her mother was sick, so I want to go visit her."
The affairs of the prince consort were temporarily settled. As long as the prince consort took good care of himself, there would be nothing for her to worry about. She still trusted Boss Feng and the others.
Then she should go visit Arong's mother.
When she heard Arong say that day, she felt strange.
Not only was she sick, but even the imperial physician couldn't see anything, and she didn't get better. This was strange.
The Pei family estimated that only Arong's two siblings and Master Pei were the ones who really cared about her mother. The others, especially the concubine, might be hoping for her mother's death every day!
If it were someone else's house, a little concubine would not have the guts to harm the mistress, but it was hard to say in Pei's house. Who made Pei's house have an old lady who couldn't figure things out, and a blind old man Pei?
It was estimated that even if Arong's mother was killed, these two would still protect that concubine Zhao.
So she planned to go to the house tomorrow to take a look, and bring Xiaoban and Daban with her! When
Xu's mother heard her words, she hurriedly asked with concern: "Is Madam Pei sick? Is it serious?"
Xu Muhua repeated what Pei Shaorong had said that day, and Xu's mother couldn't help but frowned, "What kind of disease is so strange that even the imperial physician is helpless?"
It doesn't sound like a serious disease, but if that's the case, how could the imperial physician not be able to cure it?
"Then go and have a look tomorrow. Mother will prepare a gift for you."
There seemed to be some suitable medicinal herbs at home. She didn't have much contact with Mrs. Pei, so it was not convenient to visit her suddenly. Mu Hua and Miss Pei were good friends, so it was reasonable for her to visit.
"Okay, thank you, mother."
After Xu Mu Hua responded, she looked at Xu Jinyu and asked, "How do you feel recently, Jinyu? Are you feeling better?"
Xu Jinyu had recovered well. It was just that during the Mid-Autumn Festival some time ago, after watching the moon in the yard, she was frightened by something that suddenly appeared in the corridor, and her spirit became a little depressed. It
would take more than a few months for her soul to return to its place, and the influence and damage brought by those years could not be eliminated.
Xu Jinyu replied obediently: "Sister, I'm better. I've been staying in the room and on the bed these days, and I feel much better." After
being so scared that night, Xu Jinyu wished she could grow as long as the bed and be inseparable from it these days! It seemed that she could only feel safe in bed.
Because after she was scared, Xu Muhua went to Xuanqing Temple the next day to invite Xuan Lingzi over. After rearranging a magic circle and giving Xu Jinyu some protective items, she was completely relieved.
"It's autumn now, and the weather is not as hot as before. You should go out and bask in the sun at noon."
It would be good for her to bask in the sun more often in her situation.
"Sister, I understand."
After taking care of Xu Jinyu, Xu Muhua shifted her gaze to Xu Nan on the side, "A Nan, I heard that you had a fight with someone in the academy a few days ago?"
Xu's mother was shocked, "Fight? When did it happen? How come I don't know about it? A Nan, what's going on?" Xu Nan
's eyes were evasive, and he wished he could bury his head in his bowl, mumbling.
Mother Xu's expression turned fierce, "Speak!"
Xu Nan subconsciously straightened his body, but said unconvincedly: "Who asked them to say bad things about father and elder brother!"
"What bad things did they say?"
Xu Nan pursed his lips, as if he didn't want to say it, but under the threat of the three people's eyes, he still said in a low voice: "They said...that father and elder brother are gathering troops at the border and will rebel sooner or later..."
Xu Muhua was furious: "Well done!"
The anger that had not yet ignited in Mother Xu was retracted by her roar!
After glaring at her unhappily, Mother Xu looked at her son and said, "Don't listen to your elder sister's nonsense."
After a pause, she continued, "If I want to beat you, I have to at least find an opportunity to beat you secretly in private, and I can't let anyone catch me! You see, you were originally right, but now you are wrong!"
Xu Nan's eyes widened, "Then I will put a sack on you and beat you next time?"
Mother Xu thought for a while and said, "Of course, you can, but don't beat you if you can. After all, you often walk by the river, and your shoes will get wet. If you are discovered, you will still suffer. They say that your father and elder brother have their own troops and want to rebel, so you can say that their father is corrupt, deceives the superiors and deceives the subordinates, forms cliques, and has two hearts towards the emperor!"
Xu Muhua couldn't help but want to give her a thumbs up after hearing this.
Xu Jinyu was a little dazed.
Is it really okay for mother to teach Nan like this? Will it really not corrupt An Nan?
"Mom is right, we should give people a taste of their own medicine! Once you take action, you become the one who is in the wrong."
Xu Nan nodded heavily, "Okay, I'll remember, next time, I'll let them taste the feeling of being slandered!"
Xu Jinyu originally wanted to say something, but after looking at this and that, she finally shut her mouth.
Forget it, mother and eldest sister are both very powerful people. Since they said so, they must have their reasons! She and An Nan just listened.
Thinking that she seemed to be unable to help everyone in the mansion, Xu Jinyu was a little worried.
Should she ask her eldest sister and learn from her? The eldest sister seemed to be very busy and was nowhere to be seen all day.
Alas, when can she be like her eldest sister!
As she thought about it, Xu Jinyu unconsciously stared at Xu Muhua in a trance.
Xu Muhua looked up and saw her sister staring at her, but she seemed to have no focus.
She reached out and took a handful of vegetables and put them in her bowl, urging her: "Why are you looking at me? Can I still eat rice? Eat quickly!"
Xu Jinyu came back to her senses and couldn't help blushing.
The next day, Xu Muhua went to Pei's house with gifts.
Of course, she had already sent the invitation in advance.
Pei Shaorong had been waiting for her at the corner gate. When she got off the carriage, she went to meet her and held out her hand.
Xu Muhua also held out her hand. The two put their hands together and smiled at each other.
