Just when Yang Shushu thought that Mu Shicang had let Chi Ling go because of Old Master Mu's face, one day, a shrill howl suddenly came from the southwest direction of Mu Hai Manor.
At that time, Yang Shushu was strolling around the main house, playing with dogs. If Chunxiao hadn't stopped her, she might have taken the fish out of the small pond to feed the wild cat that ran in from nowhere.
Her injuries were not actually that serious, and with Chunxiao's careful care over the past few days, she was almost healed. However, Mu Shicang didn't allow her to go out. With everyone watching her, she could only wander around the manor.
When Chun Xiao heard the wailing sound, she was scolding her: "Are you too brave, or are you stupid? That's the old man's favorite fish, how dare you..."
Chun Xiao was halfway through his words when they both looked in the direction of the sound.
"What happened? Was someone murdered?" Yang Shushu stood up from the edge of the pond and raised her head to look in the direction of the sound, but after the sound, there was no other sound.
Chunxiao had been in Muyuan longer than she had. She thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "That direction seems to be where the Second Master and his family live. That voice sounds like the eldest young lady?"
"Chi Ling?" Yang Shushu raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Could it be that she's about to give birth again?"
Chun Xiao curled her lips. She also knew about the fire. Although she was not there at the time, there were so many servants in the Mu family, and they were all very keen on gossip about their master's family. She still heard some rumors, so she couldn't help but feel resentful towards Chi Ling. After all, if Yang Shushu hadn't risked her life to get her out of the room, she might have burned to death.
"Who knows? Maybe they had a fight. Young Master Shi Yun doesn't come home often, so when he comes back, there's bound to be a fight."
"Haha, that's right." Yang Shushu dug out some unclear memories from her original body's memory. It seemed to be about the quarrel between Chi Ling and Mu Shiyun. Most of them were just some sounds heard in the garden, but there was one scene that she saw clearly.
When she saw that scene, she was stunned for a moment. In her original memory, she saw Chi Ling and Mu Shiyun arguing, but there was a woman beside them. However, she couldn't see who the woman was because she was blocked by a pot of tall plants.
In the memory, Chi Ling raised her hand to hit the woman behind the potted plant, but the woman was faster and slapped her first. She couldn't hear what the two said, but she could see that Mu Shiyun didn't care about Chi Ling who was beaten. Instead, he held the hand of the woman who hit her and asked her about her well-being. When "she" saw Chi Ling crying loudly, she tried to tear Mu Shiyun apart, but Mu Shiyun pushed her away and took the woman away.
Then Chi Ling's eyes suddenly turned towards "her". She had just looked pitiful and abandoned, but in an instant she became resentful. She took a few steps towards her, looked at "her" viciously, and said, "If you dare to tell anyone about what happened today, I will never let you go!"
The memory ended here. Yang Shushu relaxed for a moment in a daze, as if she understood why Chi Ling was targeting her everywhere. However, it was not new that Mu Shiyun was having affairs outside. Even if others couldn't see it, they knew about it. Did she have to target her everywhere because of such a thing?
Is it because Yang Shushu felt particularly embarrassed when she saw her being beaten by the mistress?
Tsk! She didn't think it was necessary. She only had a one-centimeter-thick rag left on her body. Was there any need to cover herself up?
Yang Shushu had just come back to her senses when she heard another hoarse howl. She grinned, "No, this time it's a little more earth-shattering and even more terrifying. We can hear it so clearly here."
Chun Xiao still curled her lips in disdain: "Let them quarrel all they want, she won't dare to divorce anyway."
Yang Shushu turned to look at her silently: "Ms. Chunlan, although I have no evidence, I have reason to suspect that you are making a sarcastic remark about me."
Chunxiao gave her a look that said, "You're sick!" Coincidentally, a servant came running towards them. They seemed to be looking for someone, but when they saw Chunxiao and the others, they hurried over and asked, "Madam, Madam, have you seen the old man?"
Yang Shushu shook her head. The old man would never report to her, so how would she know?
Chunxiao seemed to recognize this maid, who was about her age, and stepped forward to ask, "Xiaoli, what happened over there?"
Xiaoli and Chunxiao seemed to be quite familiar with each other. She didn't hesitate and told her directly: "The eldest young mistress and the eldest young master are fighting again. The eldest young mistress is holding a knife and wants to kill the eldest young master. She won't listen to anyone's advice. The second master and the second mistress are not here. We...we..."
Yang Shushu was stunned. Was it that serious? Was he going to kill someone? What on earth had Mu Shiyun done?
The maid named Xiaoli was extremely anxious, but she couldn't find where the old man had gone after searching for several times. She asked the other servants, but they didn't know either.
At this moment, when she saw Yang Shushu beside Chunxiao, her eyes suddenly lit up. Although Yang Shushu was usually disliked by the Mu family, in front of the servants, she was still a half-master, which was better than them, the servants.
"Young Madam, could you please go over and help persuade the eldest young madam? If she continues like this, something bad will happen sooner or later."
Yang Shushu pointed at herself in confusion, then quickly shook her head: "No, no, no, this is their affair, it's not right for me, an outsider, to interfere. Besides, your eldest young lady won't listen to me. You'd better go find the old man quickly, or find other elders who live here. That... Third Uncle, isn't he usually at home? Go look for him."
Xiaoli seemed to have finally gotten the message when she was reminded of this. Usually, the Third Master never cared about the Mu family's affairs and had a very low sense of presence. She didn't even think of him when something happened.
"Okay, I'll go to the Third Master right away."
After saying that, Xiaoli turned and ran away. Yang Shushu watched her hurried back, stroking her chin in thought: "Chunlan, when you hear the Mu family address you like this, do you have the illusion of traveling through time and space?"
Chun Xiao curled her lips indifferently: "It's just the games of rich people, you'll never understand."
"Yeah, I agree." She nodded, then turned towards the direction where the sounds of crying and arguing could still be heard faintly, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Is there really going to be a loss of life?"
"What? Want to go and take a look?" Chunxiao asked.
"Tsk, even though Chi Ling and Mu Shiyun are both worthless, I don't want them dead. If someone really dies, I know about it. If I don't come forward, I might be criticized by the Mu family again."
Chun Xiao looked her up and down, and couldn't help but smile deeply. "Why didn't I realize before that you were so far-sighted? I thought you would just sit by the windowsill and lament the passing of time."
"Tsk, that's because I have good acting skills. Your acting skills are so bad that you can't even play a green tea role. You are a complete scumbag."
