You'er and Chu'er don't have any personal attendants around them yet, so they are all brought by Aunt Chu.
My mother also mentioned this matter to Aunt Chu, but she was worried that others would not be able to take care of her, so she refused.
Now that my aunt has spoken out, it not only solves Xiao Tao's problem, but also helps her share some of the burden. After all, it is not easy to take care of two children.
Mu Qingyan looked at Xiao Tao and said in a slightly serious tone, "After the funeral, you can go to my aunt's courtyard to serve her."
Xiao Tao looked at the two of them gratefully, and kowtowed heavily, "Miss's great kindness, I will never forget it!"
In the next life, she is willing to work as a bull and horse for the third lady to repay her.
The two walked away, and Chu Jing looked back and saw Xiao Tao standing at the door looking at them.
She sighed, "He is also a pitiful person."
Mu Qingyan pursed her lips, Xiao Tao did not comment, she did not look back, but told Chu Jing, "Auntie, if there is anything strange about her, we can no longer keep her."
It's not that she is overly concerned, it's just that she hasn't fully accepted it yet. After all, Xiao Tao is loyal to Mu Yun, and now that he has lost his master, I'm afraid there will be a big gap in her heart, and she will easily become jealous.
Once a person is too jealous, there is nothing he can't do.
Chu Jing was surprised, leaned over and whispered: "Do you suspect she will betray her?"
"It's not impossible." Mu Qingyan only said four words. In short, it's better to be careful and it won't do any harm to herself.
Chu Jing was silent. That's right. It's right to be on guard against others. So don't rush to let her serve you personally. Let's wait and see for a while before making a decision.
——
Because Mu Yun hanged herself, the incident could not be spread to the outside world, and her death was dishonorable and dishonorable. A large funeral would definitely attract a lot of speculation. Therefore, Mu Yun's funeral was not held in a big way, but was hung up in the prime minister's palace.
White sails and white silk.
Some officials and the old prince also asked Mu Nanping to send them back. Those people were all human beings, so naturally they would not force them to stay. They just left with their own feelings.
Because Jiang was a sinner and was just a concubine, not many people paid attention to her death. However, Mu Yun was the daughter of Prince Xiang and had a different status. Even if her funeral was simple, it would not be any different.
.
Mu Qingyan, dressed in plain clothes, stood at the door of the mourning hall and looked at the scene inside. Xiao Tao was kneeling inside to keep vigil.
She turned and left the mourning hall.
Jiang's father was just a businessman, but Mu Yun was his granddaughter, and Mu Nanping still sent someone to tell him.
When the fat-headed, big-eared and wealthy Jiang's father came to the palace, he was so frightened that he could hardly stand even after hearing the cause of his daughter's death.
Naturally, he was not qualified to meet the old prince and the others. Mu Qingyan didn't want Shangguan Rou to come forward, so he took her place.
Naturally, Mu Nanping would not refuse what his daughter wanted to do, so when Jiang's father was led to the main hall, what he saw was Mu Qingyan, who was expressionless and looking very indifferent.
The housekeeper looked at Jiang's father and introduced him, "This is our third lady."
"Hello, Miss." Father Jiang was obviously a little nervous and saluted respectfully.
He is still self-aware. Although he is Yue'er's mother, Miss Mu is the quasi-princess, so it is not so easy for him to reach out to her.
Jiang's father secretly glanced at Mu Qingyan, and couldn't help being amazed. He had long heard that Miss Mu Da was extremely beautiful, and today he was lucky enough to get a glimpse of her true appearance.
Even if she is wearing plain clothes, she is still very noble. He was able to send his daughter to the general's mansion back then, so he certainly had some knowledge.
Although the color of this eldest lady's clothes is plain, the workmanship of the material and the pattern are all excellent.
"My uncle must have known the cause of Jiang's death." Mu Qingyan said calmly. She didn't recognize any relatives, and it had nothing to do with her.
Father Jiang's expression panicked, and he knelt down quickly, suppressing his fear, "The common people already know, it is the common people who teach their daughters laxly, please forgive Miss Mu."
At first he was still very angry when he heard that his precious daughter was executed. She was the sweetheart whom he had loved for more than ten years. After not seeing her for many years, he finally came to the palace and was told that he and his daughter would never be separated from each other.
But later, when he heard what his daughter had done, he immediately lost any resentment. Just framing the would-be crown princess and hiring a killer would be enough to kill all nine of his clans, so how could he dare to complain!
It would be nice if you could save your own life.
Fortunately, the concubine at home has given birth to a son, and he will not be extinct, so even if he loses his beloved daughter, he still has some comfort in his heart.
Mu Qingyan looked at him quietly, her eyes seemed to be able to see through people's thoughts. She noticed that Jiang's father's reaction was not strong, nor was she as sad as she imagined, and she sneered in her heart.
Before Jiang's father came, she asked Mu Qi to inquire about it. A year after Jiang Yue got married, his wife died of illness. Soon he found a second wife and later took in a concubine. It is said that
She is a promiscuous woman.
She gave birth to a son for him last year, so no wonder she wasn't sad anymore.
She turned her head and motioned for Fenxiang to take out something.
Fenxiang nodded, walked up to Father Jiang with a plate of things, and said loudly: "These are the compensation given to you by the palace."
Jiang's father was stunned for a moment, then gradually waved his hand, "This, this commoner doesn't dare!"
It would be nice not to hold him accountable, but why would he dare to take things from the palace?
Fenxiang frowned and turned back to ask Mu Qingyan.
Mu Qingyan nodded and could only take the fennel back and put it away.
Mu Qingyan looked at Father Jiang, "Since you don't want it, I won't force it."
"Hey." Father Jiang nodded quickly, almost sweating on his back. If he stopped, what if the prince got angry?
Then he won't be able to eat and walk away. Although he loves money, he cherishes his life even more.
Mu Qingyan looked back at Mu Ling and ordered: "Mu Ling, take him to the mourning hall."
After saying that, he turned his attention to Father Jiang, "After you step out of the palace gate, you will have no connection with the Mu family, and you are not allowed to make money in the name of the Mu family."
She didn't know how many famous families had been destroyed at the hands of those relatives. She would not allow such a thing to happen to the Mu family.
"The ordinary people don't dare. The ordinary people promise to stay away from the palace from now on." Jiang's father was shocked. He originally thought that Miss Mu was still young, but he didn't expect that she was so mature.
The aura of her body and the tone of her voice can make people mistakenly think that she is the matron of the house.
Father Jiang swallowed nervously.
Mu Ling took Jiang's father to the mourning hall, which was actually Mu Yun's yard.
"Miss, this old slave will go down first." The housekeeper said, and he was very impressed by Mu Qingyan's actions.
As expected of the prince's daughter, she has already shown her aura as the head of the family at a young age.
Mu Qingyan nodded.
After they all left, Fenxiang said, "Why did Miss still give him money?"
It was obvious that the Jiang family had done this to the young lady, so it was already good enough that he would not be punished, but the young lady actually wanted to give him some silver.
