Due to Jiang Lan's sprained ankle, she could no longer participate in the activities the next day.
However, that night, it rained heavily as Mu Qingyan feared.
She was awakened by thunder at night. Fenxiang quickly closed the window, lit a lamp and stood by her bedside, "Miss, it's raining really hard."
Mu Qingyan did not speak, her side face was dim under the candlelight. She raised her head and stared at the window in ecstasy. Listening to the sound of rain hitting the ground, her inner uneasiness became more intense.
With such heavy rain, and the fact that it has been raining for several days in a row, there is a high possibility of flooding in some places...
Because she remembered that there was a disaster, not only did the plague break out, but also...
Suddenly, her pupils shrank, and her fingers clenched the quilt tightly, Linggu Mountain!!
She remembered that Linggu Mountain had also suffered a disaster, but she didn't know the specific location, but what if it was right here?
Mu Qingyan started to dance wildly, making it difficult for her to fall asleep that night.
Because of the heavy rain, all the original travel plans were put aside.
Mu Qingyan changed her clothes, and Fenxiang brought a cloak and put it on her body.
Bailirou came to look for her, but nothing happened, so the two of them drank tea leisurely, played chess or played the piano together.
After persisting like this for a day, I felt tired.
"Miss, when can we go back?" Fenxiang tapped Mu Qingyan's leg listlessly and asked feebly. Mu Qi stood quietly beside her, like a piece of wood.
"We can't go back for a while." Mu Qingyan sighed softly. They had been out for four or five days, but they felt like they had accomplished nothing.
Looking up at the pounding rain outside, she frowned, "If this rain doesn't stop, we won't be able to leave."
Fenxiang looked depressed after hearing this. She wanted to go back. It would be better to stay in Liuyan Pavilion. At least she could do a lot of things. This courtyard was too monotonous.
well……
Mu Qingyan sighed, she was not in a good mood on rainy days and was always upset.
"Let's go and see Jiang Lan."
After a while, she suddenly stood up. If she didn't go out, she would go crazy.
This feeling reminded her of the days when she was imprisoned in the prison, which was too depressing.
Fenxiang hurriedly went to get the oil-paper umbrella, while Mu Qi held one alone and followed behind.
The three of them walked through the rainwater on the ground and walked towards Jiang Xingge's yard.
Jiang Xingge's maid saw her just as she was going out, and immediately turned back: "Miss, my cousin is here!"
"What? Qingyan?" Jiang Xingge ran out quickly after hearing this. When he saw Mu Qingyan coming in the rain, his expression changed.
If the personal maid hadn't pulled her, she would have lifted up her skirt and run down.
"Why did you come here in such heavy rain?" As soon as Mu Qingyan walked up the steps, Jiang Xingge quickly pulled her into the house.
"I'm a little bored, so I thought I'd come over to see you." Mu Qingyan pursed her lips and smiled.
The maid immediately closed the door and poured a cup of hot tea after returning to the room.
Jiang Lan was also in the house. When he saw her coming, he subconsciously wanted to get up, but she stopped him.
"No need, you can just sit here." Mu Qingyan said, there are only three of them here, so they don't need all those etiquettes.
Jiang Lan nodded and looked at her gratefully.
Jiang Xingge pulled her to another soft couch, and they sat down together, opposite Jiang Lan.
"Go get some pastries to entertain you," she said.
Then he looked at Mu Qingyan and started to complain: "This house is no better than my own home, so just make do with it."
Mu Qingyan laughed and joked: "When did you become so picky?"
Although Linggu Temple is just a temple, the layout of the east and west courtyards is not bad. She is sure that compared with those monks, these two courtyards are the best places to live.
To be so picky.
But it’s normal for my cousin to say this.
When the pastries were placed on the table, Mu Qingyan motioned to Fenxiang to take out something and said with a smile: "Let's see if this is useful to you?"
The maid behind Jiang Lan took the medicine and said gratefully: "I'm sorry to bother you, Sister Mu."
"Since you are my cousin's sister, we are naturally related, so we naturally have to help with whatever we can." Mu Qingyan said softly with a smile on her face.
Hearing what she said, Jiang Lan was startled, thinking that he really regarded her as his family, and his eyes suddenly softened a little when he looked at her.
If she had known that she was just an unpopular concubine, and that the other party was the legitimate daughter of the royal family, with a noble status, she could not get married at will.
"Okay, you two, there are no outsiders here." Jiang Xingge interrupted them at the right time and handed her a piece of cake. Mu Qingyan declined with a smile.
She doesn't really want to eat it right now.
Both parties knew each other well. Seeing her shaking her head, Jiang Xingge did not force anything on her. He just curiously asked, "Why didn't you accompany the third princess today?"
I spent the whole day with her yesterday.
Mu Qingyan smiled slightly and answered the question: "Why do I smell a sour smell?"
Suddenly, Jiang Xingge glanced at her speechlessly, "That's enough, stop doing this."
Jiang Lan couldn't help laughing at the side, "The relationship between the third sister and my cousin is really good."
She was indeed envious, but both of them were legitimate daughters, and the third sister's mother was the daughter of the Mu family, so it was natural for them to have a good relationship.
Mu Qingyan did not refute, her eyes fell on her ankle, and asked aloud: "It's been two days, how is the injury?"
"It's almost done. The swelling has subsided, but I can't walk for too long, thanks to the medicine my sister gave me."
"That's good, let's have a good rest." It would take a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, and her ankle was quite sprained.
"I know." Jiang Lan nodded, lowered her head and glanced at her feet with a wry smile. Now she couldn't move even if she wanted to.
Mu Qingyan looked away and looked at Jiang Xingge, "Jiang Wan didn't come?"
"She came, but I kicked her out. She is not welcome here." Jiang Xingge took a bite of the cake and looked disgusted when Jiang Wan was mentioned.
"She is also very courageous." In front of so many people, her thoughts were so vicious. She glanced at Jiang Xingge and asked, "Why, you still can't suppress her?"
Jiang Xingge froze, and then said lightly: "I don't believe you understand. It's not that I don't dare, but that I can't." After she said that, she started eating again.
Indeed, outsiders have to take care of the face of the Prime Minister's House, otherwise it would not be good for people to spread the word that the legitimate daughter is bullying the concubine.
"Then you let her go?" She knew her cousin too well, and with her temperament she would definitely not let her go.
Jiang Xingge smiled mysteriously, walked closer to her and whispered, "I asked my brother to catch a few voles and put them in her room, as well as a non-venomous snake. I heard she was so angry last night that she jumped."
Pfft——
"Where did you find it?" Mu Qingyan couldn't help laughing. In this weather, the snakes were probably in the cave.
"Then I don't know." As long as she can be taught a lesson, the process is not important, the result is the most important.
Jiang Lan couldn't help but laugh, feeling a little warm in her heart. Naturally, she also knew this.
"Okay." She was worried.
"Qingyan, don't you think the rain is too strange?" After a few people were silent for a moment, Jiang Xingge couldn't help but ask again.
"Strange? How do you say that?" Wind and rain are beyond human control, and it is normal before and after the Qingming Festival.
"I mean, it rained so hard. If you think about it, it stopped for a few days, and now it's started raining again."
"I've never seen such heavy rain before." Jiang Xingge usually loves to watch those mythological dramas, but now she couldn't help but wonder if there was a ghost in them.
