The cry was accompanied by the woman's begging for mercy, which was particularly clear in the night. Mu Xuanyi clenched her fists. This was Chen's voice.
Although she doesn't like this cheap mother-in-law very much, the original person still cares about her.
After all, there is a gift of childbearing... Forget it, let's help her. Mu Xuanyi pursed her lips and stopped.
At this moment, Mu Zhiyuan is still inside. Of course Mu Xuanyi cannot go in directly. She is not stupid enough yet.
But Chen's screams became louder and louder each time, which made Mu Xuanyi feel anxious. She reached out to cover Xiaolongbao's ears.
Although Xiao Longbao matured precociously, he was still just a child. At this time, his face turned pale with fright. She felt a little distressed for a moment.
Mu Xuanyi held Xiao Longbao in her arms and patted her back gently with her free hand: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, I'm here."
Her voice was gentler than ever before, Xiao Longbao shrank into her arms again, and his expression also relaxed.
I don’t know how long it took, but the screams inside finally stopped, even the lights were turned off, and everything became silent.
Mu Xuanyi did not act rashly. After waiting for a while, the housekeeper hurried over with a lantern and knocked on the door.
Mu Zhiyuan opened the door with a serious look on his face: "Has the assassin been found?"
"I found them after looking for them, but they seemed to be two people, a man and a woman... I didn't catch them, but the things in the house were not lost either."
"Sir, let's go to the study and have a look." The housekeeper hesitated, fearing that the wall might have ears.
Mu Zhiyuan nodded: "Let's go."
He never mentioned Chen from beginning to end, and left in a hurry under the guidance of the butler.
It seemed that there were indeed some important things placed in the study. Mu Xuanyi retracted her wandering thoughts. The most urgent task was to take Mrs. Chen away as soon as possible.
Mu Zhiyuan locked the door before leaving, but this didn't bother her at all. Mu Xuanyi took out a small iron wire, tugged it a few times, and the door lock clicked.
"Done." She threw the door lock aside and went in to look for traces of Chen.
The moonlight was very bright, and the silver ash was scattered all over the floor. Chen was crawling on the ground, and there were still some stains on her body, which must have come from the blood she had just been beaten.
Mu Xuanyi's eyes were a little sore. This mother is Mu Xuanyi's only relative now, but...
"I'm here, mother. I'm here to take you away. I won't let you suffer anymore." She squatted over and helped Chen up.
Mrs. Chen grabbed her hand with tears in her eyes: "Xuanyi, Xuanyi..."
"Mom, I'm here. We have to leave quickly, otherwise we won't be able to leave when they come back." Mu Xuanyi comforted her and carried her on his back.
The door was pushed open, and the people standing in the yard made Mu Xuanyi's heart chill inch by inch.
Mu Zhiyuan, Aunt Feng, the housekeeper...
There were also some servants with sticks, waiting for her as if they were in danger.
"It was such a big battle to catch me. It's really not an honor." Mu Xuanyi suddenly laughed.
Chen was a bait, she should have thought of it earlier.
Mu Zhiyuan is smart, and Aunt Feng will not allow him to escape one after another to challenge her majesty. If Chen is not used to seduce him, who else can be used?
"Mom, don't be afraid, I can take you away." Mu Xuanyi said softly to Chen. This is a fire pit, and there is no need for Chen to die in it.
"Xuan Yi..." Chen's voice was choked with sobs.
Just as Mu Xuanyi was about to make a move, a hand stretched out from behind her, holding a handkerchief and covering her mouth and nose.
"Xuanyi, mother, I can't help you..."
She faintly heard Chen's choking, and her consciousness fell into a coma.
It turns out...that's it. Mu Xuanyi suddenly felt a little relieved.
To say that the person that the original body misses the most is the only one named Chen, but this time, she felt cold from body to heart. Even if the person standing here is the original body, she will definitely give up on Chen.
The Mu family didn't do anything to her, and they didn't even tie her up with a chain. They just put her back into wedding clothes and let her sit in the prepared wedding room.
When Mu Xuanyi regained consciousness, she saw Xiao Long Bao sitting in front of the table, feasting on it.
She blinked and everything in front of her became clear.
The Mu family didn't separate her from Xiao Long Bao. Aren't they afraid that they would escape again?
She was a little confused, and Xiao Longbao also noticed her awakening, and turned around and waved to her.
"Mom, come here and eat, there are so many delicious foods!"
The dishes placed on the table are indeed exquisite, full of color and aroma, and none of them are poisoned.
The treatment the Mu family gave her this time was so good that Mu Xuanyi even started to murmur.
However, filling his stomach was the most important thing at the moment, so Mu Xuanyi sat down next to the Xiao Long Bao without any ceremony and began to feast with him.
After the two of them had eaten and drank, the door to the room was opened.
Mu Xuanmei walked in with two maids, and when she saw the mess on the table, she suddenly showed a look of contempt.
"Which noble lady eats as rudely as you do? She looks nothing like those sows who are kept in captivity."
Mu Xuanmei got the news that Mu Xuanyi had been caught early in the morning. She immediately dressed up and wanted to come over and laugh at her.
Her words were vicious, but Mu Xuanyi just raised his eyebrows coldly and glanced at her: "What my sister said, could it be that you often go to that place and see how the sows eat, and you still keep it in your mind."
"Could it be that you have fallen in love with the servant who raises pigs?" Mu Xuanyi covered her mouth, pretending to be surprised, "My sister's taste is really special, and most people can't accept it."
"You! You bitch is really sharp-tongued!" Mu Xuanmei was very angry, but she quickly thought of something and showed a sarcastic smile, "How do you think you are so good? You are not going to be raped.
Marry a fool."
"In the past, Mr. Chen and Mr. Zheng, you were not willing to do it. You were picky. Now, you are happy to marry a fool." When Mu Xuanmei thought of Mu Xuanyi's next fate, it was not easy to forgive her hatred.
"Fool?" Mu Xuanyi wondered, do they really want to marry themselves off? And the person they arrange is different every time?
"You don't know, right? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had an accident when he was young. He was an idiot. This time, he is the one you want to marry." Mu Xuanmei said proudly.
Mu Xuanyi raised her eyebrows: "You said that, I want to be the crown princess?"
Mu Zhiyuan is really disgusting with himself. He just picked some disabilities from the capital. This is because he is determined not to make it easier for him.
Then she can only treat him in his own way.
Hearing this, Mu Xuanmei sneered: "What a born bitch!"
