Whatever he thought, Aoyun was the first to stand up," It's getting late, you guys should go back early. Today's meal will be on me to congratulate Fifth Younger Sister on her good health. In the future, she will definitely have endless glory and wealth.”
Yun Xi's lips twitched. She would rather have plain porridge and side dishes than go to that kind of place where people were eaten and enjoy some glory and wealth.
However, she did not plan to tell anyone about this matter now. She had to be fully prepared before she could take action.
Mu Xuan was not in the mood to sit down in the Fragrant Jade Pavilion. The three of them went their separate ways after they went downstairs. Aoyun was nowhere to be found. Yunxi and the others had to return to the Mu Residence eventually.
Along the way, the two of them didn't speak. They both tacitly maintained silence.
No matter how slow they walked, the Mu Residence was already in front of them in the blink of an eye. Yun Xi stood outside the Mu Residence's main entrance and raised her head to look at the high walls surrounding the courtyard. Her heart felt cold.
If she could, she really didn't want to go in again. However, she was now carrying the hope of her family. How could she leave so easily?
No matter how far she ran, she believed that Grand Tutor Mu had the ability to find her.
Mu Xuan walked to Yun Xi's side and patted her shoulder."Don't be afraid. Fourth Brother is here. The old man won't do anything to you.”
Yun Xi turned her head and forced a smile at him. How could she not be afraid? Wu Chen's words were like a curse that had pushed her to the cusp of the storm. In the past, she could treat Grand Tutor Mu as a familiar stranger. There was not much interest between them.
But now, let alone letting her do whatever she wanted, for the sake of his family and glory, he would definitely bite her tightly.
As soon as she entered the door, Grand Tutor Mu and Madam Mu appeared in front of her. Madam Mu had a worried look on her face before, but when she saw that Yunxi had returned safely, she finally heaved a sigh of relief." Yunxi, are you alright?”
"Bastard, how dare you come back!”Grand Tutor Mu scolded her in front of Yun Xi. After that, he walked away. Soon, he shouted with a hint of age," Bring her to me later."”
Madam Mu nodded and immediately pulled Yun Xi inside." You're just a child. How can you run out without saying anything? Fortunately, your fourth brother chased you out this time. What would you do if something happened to you?"”
Yun Xi lowered her head, looking as if she knew she was wrong.
If anything happened to her, then the Empress might not be from the Mu Residence. They naturally could not take this risk.
"Mother, Fifth Sister is still young. She really doesn't know how to accept what happened just now. It's understandable for her to be agitated for a moment. She already knows her mistake, so don't blame her.”Mu Xuan said as he glanced at Yun Xi.
"Alright, alright. You should be tired after going out for so long. Go back and rest. I'll bring Yunxi back.”Madam Mu looked at Yun Xi with a complicated expression and waved at Mu Xuan.
"I'm not tired. I'm a man with thick skin. Why would I be so pretentious? It's better to send the little girl back first.”Mu Xuan said with a smile, but his eyes were firm.
Madam Mu suddenly stopped in her tracks, not allowing Mu Xuan to make fun of her like before." If I tell you to go back, then go back. You also know that you're a man. Why do you have to go to your sister's boudoir all day? People's gossip is terrible. Don't let others have the chance to gossip!"”
Mu Xuan really couldn't follow her anymore since she had already said that. He smiled indifferently, but when he looked at Yun Xi, his eyes were very serious." Yun Xi, then fourth brother won't accompany you anymore." This is the Mu Residence, no one will do anything to you. If there really is, Fourth Brother will not forgive him!”
Yun Xi's heart was filled with gratitude, but she was still smiling." Don't forget that I'm destined to be the Empress. What can happen to me? If anything really happens to me, Father and Mother will definitely not forgive him."”
Madam Mu stood at the side and listened to them. Her expression changed several times. In the end, she still led Yunxi back to her courtyard.
Then, she instructed Liu Wen and a few servant girls to prepare the bath water. During the process of waiting for the water, she sat beside Yun Xi and did not say anything. The way she looked at Yun Xi always made people feel strange.
"Mother, why do you want to bathe now? It's still early.”Yun Xi had already walked around the room a few times. With Madam Mu around, there seemed to be nothing she could do.
"Your father wants to talk to you." Madam Mu tried her best to maintain a calm expression.
"If you want to talk, then talk. Why do you have to take a shower?”Yun Xi really didn't know that there were so many things to do when she met Grand Tutor Mu.
Madam Mu frowned and stood up to interrupt her." Why are you so talkative as a child? Do whatever I tell you to do!”
Yun Xi pursed her lips and pretended to be dissatisfied as she sat with her back facing Madam Mu. For some reason, Yun Xi felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. Something must be about to happen!
That unknown feeling made Yun Xi's heart tremble for no reason. With an uneasy heart, Madam Mu watched Yun Xi take a shower and then change her into a set of clean clothes.
After that, Madam Mu led Yun Xi in the direction of the temple hall. Seeing that the door was right in front of her, she only felt a strange fragrance of flowers. Soon, she could not help but blacked out. After that, she did not know anything.
After a while, Yun Xi slowly regained consciousness. Before she opened her eyes, she could already smell the clear Buddhist fragrance.
She subconsciously opened her eyes, her entire body filled with vigilance. In the next second, she saw Grand Tutor Mu and his wife standing in front of her.
Before Yun Xi could ask how she was going back, she saw Grand Tutor Mu walk up to her in two steps. She felt a pain on her cheek and was forced to open her mouth. Something was quickly thrown into her mouth.
Before she could resist, Grand Tutor Mu raised her head with all his might. Yun Xi swallowed the food in her mouth.
What…what was going on? Yun Xi clutched her throat and wanted to spit out what she had eaten. However, it seemed to melt in her mouth. No matter how hard she tried, she could not spit it out.
" Yunxi, don't be like this. It's useless…" Madam Mu, who was standing at the side, saw Yunxi torturing herself. She could not harden her heart and walked over to remind her.
"What did you feed me?" Yun Xi's face was flushed red, and there were even tears in her eyes.
"Kneel down!" Grand Tutor Mu shouted, his face as cold as ice.
Yun Xi blinked her eyes, not understanding what had just happened.
Madam Mu sighed and walked over. She grabbed Yun Xi's arm and pulled her up from the chair. Then, she pressed her down to kneel on the ground.
Yun Xi knew that it was impossible for her to spit it out, so she stopped wasting time and carefully looked around the room.
The light in the room was not very strong, and there was a chill from deep underground. Coupled with the layout of the room, Yun Xi was very sure that this must be another secret room.
She did not even need to lift her head to see that she was kneeling in front of a small altar. There were a few memorial tablets on it, and there were a variety of offerings. Incense and candles curled up. In addition, the painting hanging behind the altar was unusually eye-catching. It should be a thin old man sitting on it.
