When Mu Yunyao went over, she saw Li in a miserable state, being protected by maids and old women.

Sun's dowry maid, Xiao, who was now in charge of purchasing for the mansion, was looking at her with disdain.

"Second Madam, this is the territory of the first wife's family. Even if the first wife has done something wrong and offended the old lady, the family is still divided.

Even if the old lady lets you take charge of the affairs of the mansion for a few days, you should remember your status and not interfere in areas that you shouldn't. "

"What is her identity?"

Mu Yunyao glanced at Li, frowned slightly, and spoke directly.

She knew in her heart that Li was not so incapable of handling such a small old woman. She was only doing this to continue to flatter Sun in front of her.

Mu Yunyao didn't care. As long as she could be used by him, he would not care about her little thoughts.

When Mrs. Xiao saw the old lady coming, she suddenly remembered the fear of being dominated when the old lady was the head of the family.

"Ma'am."

Mu Yunyao glanced at her indifferently.

"Why does Mrs. Xiao have any objection to my order?"

Mrs. Xiao trembled and fell to her knees with a plop.

"No, I dare not. This old slave dare not."

"Don't dare? I think you are quite brave."

Mu Yunyao said this and glanced at Li, her meaning was quite clear.

There was everything Mrs. Xiao didn't understand. She knelt down in front of Li and kowtowed heavily.

"Second Madam, I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I will never do it again."

Li looked at Mu Yunyao with some embarrassment, as if she couldn't make up her mind.

Mu Yunyao was too lazy to look at her.

"You can't even handle this, do you want me to bring the third and fourth sons' wives back to help you manage the household?"

The third and fourth sons mentioned by the old lady were the old man’s illegitimate sons, who had been separated out several years ago.

Li Jinsong, the second legitimate son, is different. They are not qualified to live in the Li Mansion after the family division.

Both families had moved out long ago.

When the old lady came back yesterday, they went outside the house with all the Chen family to greet her. However, at that time, the old lady only had eyes for her eldest grandson and didn't even look at them.

Plus, the old lady told them not to pay their respects this morning, so they didn’t come today.

Otherwise, these two daughters-in-law should be serving the old lady and showing their filial piety at this time.

Sun knew that her little trick had been discovered by her mother-in-law, so she quickly stepped forward to apologize.

"It's my daughter-in-law who is useless. She will definitely take good care of the affairs of the mansion and won't let mother worry anymore."

Mu Yunyao didn't really want to bring the other two daughters-in-law of the Chen family into the mansion, so she naturally stopped talking after hearing what Li said.

She took Qingyun back to her own courtyard. As for that old woman, how Li decided to deal with her was her own business.

After returning to Jingxin Courtyard, Qingyun first served hot tea to her master, and then said.

"The Chen family's backyard is not stable either, and there are many things going on."

Mu Yunyao took a sip of tea, moistened her throat, and then smiled.

“Whose backyard is safe?”

He smiled and frowned, "Where there is interest, there is conflict."

After saying that, he glanced towards the side room.

"Let our people speed up their search for information about the palace, and by the way, tell my brother that we have safely left the city."

"Yes, master."

Qingyun nodded in agreement, thought for a moment and asked again, "Should we tell the eldest master where we are now?"

Mu Yunyao looked up at her and said, "No, it's safest not to contact her."

Qingyun responded and went down.

Mu Yunyao stood up again and went towards the side room.

Although Chen Jinsong was asked to look after Chen Qinghui, he was not required to watch over this person all the time.

After all, Chen Jinsong is the second master of the Chen family, and he also has his own things to deal with.

The task of personal care was still handed over to Chen Jinsong's servant, and he just came to check on him frequently to prevent the servant from slacking off.

As for the servant who looked after Chen Qinghui, Mu Yunyao didn't think he was very attentive to his master.

If he had cleaned his body more often and turned him over more frequently, he wouldn't have so many bedsores.

It’s just that compared to others, this person knows Chen Qinghui better, so it would be easier to have this person by his side.

The servant's name was Anji. When Mu Yunyao came over, he had just changed his master into a set of dry clothes.

She was throwing the clothes she had just taken off into the copper basin with a look of disgust, intending to take them out and send them to the laundry room for washing.

But when he thought about what those people would say about him again, his brows furrowed even deeper.

After all, no one wants to wash such a dirty thing.

He delivers it there every day, it would be strange if people didn't complain.

What he didn't expect was that when he turned around, he saw the old lady standing outside the door.

Anji was so frightened that he put down the copper basin and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"Your servant Anji pays respects to the old lady."

Mu Yunyao glanced at him, then looked at the copper basin on the ground, and said in a calm voice.

"Get up and go do your thing. I'll come see Brother Hui."

"Yes, old lady."

Anji kowtowed again before standing up.

After everyone left, Mu Yunyao walked towards the bed.

After moving to a new house and burning incense in the house, the smell in the house was not as bad as in the previous upside-down house.

Mu Yunyao sat down beside the bed, then took Chen Qinghui's hand and began to take his pulse carefully.

His body was indeed badly ruined, but fortunately he was young and could recover if he took good care of himself.

Even if he is not as strong as before, he can live another 20 or 30 years without any problem.

But the most troublesome thing is his legs. If he remains paralyzed like this, those people will not dare to neglect him while he stays here.

Once I leave, I'm afraid it won't be long before he returns to his previous situation.

She couldn't do anything that would give people a little hope and at the same time make them completely despair.

What's more, this person has done him a favor.

Thinking of this, Mu Yunyao sighed and lifted the quilt off him.

Then, he reached out and touched his thigh little by little.

And Chen Qinghui woke up at this time.

He woke up twice in the middle of the night yesterday, but his health was too poor and his consciousness was very vague. He only remembered someone stabbing him with a knife.

At that time, he thought that he was about to die, so he was too lazy to struggle and just let it go.

When he regained consciousness in the morning, he found something wrong. His body seemed to be much fresher and his mind was clearer than before.

It's not the kind of state where one could die at any time.

Now, he felt someone touching his leg again, and without thinking, he reached out to stop it.

Mu Yunyao felt the powerless hand pulling her wrist, and she looked up and met Chen Qinghui's eyes.

Seeing the man who had regained consciousness, Mu Yunyao suddenly smiled at him, "You can feel your legs, right?"
