Chapter 511 It Wasn't an Accident

Xu Muhua did not return to the East Palace that night, but stayed in the Chengguo Mansion. In the evening, he came to the old lady's room again and helped her drink medicine.

The old lady was in better spirits now. She sat up, leaned against the head of the bed, and looked at Xu Muhua lovingly. "There are many people to take care of us at home. There is no need for you to stay. If this gets out, people will blame you

." "Grandmother, I'm your granddaughter. What's wrong with me showing filial piety at this time? No matter who it is, there is no reason to blame me. You should just relax and take care of yourself. Your eldest brother's marriage is still waiting for you to take care of it!"

When mentioning Xu Rui's marriage, the old lady couldn't help but show a hint of joy on her face. "Your eldest brother's marriage has been settled, and I can put my mind at ease."

"So, grandma, you must take good care of yourself and wait for your eldest brother to get married and give you a great-grandson!"

The old lady also knew that everyone in the mansion was worried about her illness.

She herself is quite open-minded. Having lived to this age, she can be considered to have many children and grandchildren. All of them are promising, so she doesn't have to worry about the future. She doesn't have anything to let go of, and can be said to have no regrets.

Compared with the old man, she is very lucky!

So she has already let go of the life or death!

"Don't worry too much, isn't it normal for a person to feel a little uncomfortable at his age? If I am always so healthy and lively, wouldn't I become an old monster?"

"Even if grandma is an old monster, she is still our grandma, the pillar of our Chengguo Mansion!"

"Okay, okay, grandma will take good care of herself and watch your eldest brother get married! You can't stay in Chengguo Mansion tomorrow, you have to go back to the East Palace, okay?"

The old lady was a little worried about her.

This granddaughter has always been a big shot. Once she makes a decision, no one can change

her mind. Marrying into the royal family means there are many rules. She is so willful and unrestrained. In the end, she is the one who suffers! "Grandma, don't worry. The prince also agrees that I stay. The prince even praises me for my filial piety!"

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, I'll ask the prince to come in person some other day!"

The old lady hurriedly said, "Don't make trouble! The prince is busy with state affairs. Why should the prince worry about my affairs?"

The old lady was in better spirits at this moment, and she couldn't help but hold Xu Muhua's hand and chatter. While chatting, she also talked about the old Duke.

Xu Muhua felt a little sad after hearing this, but she didn't show it on her face. She didn't show it until the old lady was tired. She helped the old lady lie down and watched her fall asleep before she walked out quietly.

"Dad? Why are you here? Grandma has fallen asleep and looks better than during the day. She took the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician tonight. I think grandma's condition will be much better tomorrow."

Xu Jiang nodded, stood up and walked towards Xu Muhua, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Dad, do you have something to tell me?"

Xu Jiang finally reached out and patted her shoulder. "Tomorrow you go back to the East Palace. If the emperor looks for you, no matter what he says, you should just refuse to explain it. It's okay if you don't know. Don't embarrass yourself."

Xu Muhua was stunned for a moment, "Dad, why do you say that?" Why

did the emperor want to see her?

Xu Jiang didn't know where to start. The matter was too complicated and he couldn't explain it clearly for a while.

"Anyway, just remember what your father said."

Xu Muhua had no choice but to nod and agree.

General Xu gave her a few instructions and let her go back to Fenghua Garden.

Although she was already married, Fenghua Garden was still there, and servants often cleaned it, so she could stay there whenever she came back.

Before going to bed, she thought about what her father had just said, and then about the old lady. She felt a little worried, so she got up again and called a few birds in the yard.

All the animals, big and small, in the Chengguo Mansion knew that Xu Muhua could understand what they said, and if there were newcomers, the natives would also talk to them. So there was no possibility that they would be suddenly called by her and then frightened.

"Why are you the only one who came back? Where are the fat cat and the big tiger?"

Xu Muhua thought the bird was really brave. When the master was not around, they dared to call the master the fat cat. When the master was around, they were all very well behaved, fearing that the master would swoop down and pounce on them, turning them into meat pies.

"They are in the East Palace. I came back to see my grandmother."

"Oh, your grandmother is that old lady, right? She has been sick recently."

"Yes, my grandmother is sick."

"We know that the quilt that the old lady was covering was lifted up that night, so she caught a cold and got sick!"

"What?"

Xu Muhua stood up suddenly, shocked, "What did you just say? Someone lifted up the quilt that my grandmother was covering?"

The speaking bird nodded, "Yes, I couldn't sleep that night so I went out to play. Then I flew to the old lady's yard and saw someone opened the window and lifted up the quilt that the old lady was covering."

At that time, it thought the weather was hot and they couldn't stand it, so they had to open the window for ventilation and cool down! It also felt that it was so hot, wouldn't it be even hotter if the quilt was covered? So that person took away the quilt.

Unexpectedly, the old lady fell ill soon.

It was only after hearing the servants in the mansion mention this matter these days that it was finally understood that the old lady caught a cold and fell ill because she did not cover herself with a quilt that night.

Xu Muhua's anger suddenly burned up.

So, grandma's illness was not an accident, but a man-made one?

Who was it and why did they do this? Could it be that a servant had been punished by grandma and hated grandma, so he caused such a thing?

After thinking about it, Xu Muhua felt that this possibility was very high. Otherwise, how could the servants in the mansion attack an old man?

In a rage, Xu Muhua was about to go find Xu's mother and Xu Jiang, but she stopped as soon as she stepped out.

No, if she went to find her parents at this late hour, no one in the mansion would be able to sleep tonight. There was a commotion in the middle of the night. Maybe something related to the Chengguo Mansion would be spread the next day.

She forced herself to calm down and looked at the bird that was talking: "Can you tell who opened the window and lifted the quilt?"

"Yes, I know him. He has a mole behind his ear. He is always smiling and has a green bracelet on his hand."

"Come over tomorrow and I will take you there. You can help me identify him when you have the chance."

A servant who betrays his master must not be kept alive!

"Okay, it's such a simple matter. Leave it to me! I will definitely help you identify him!"
