The Doctor's Concubine: Don't mess with the evil princess

"No, you...don't make random guesses!" Mu Xun retorted guiltily.

Mu Lanfeng raised his eyes and looked at Mu Xun, as if he wanted to see through his heart.

"Don't look at me like that. It's not what you think!" Mu Xun defended himself while pretending to be calm.

But what he didn't know was that some things would only get worse the more he explained them!

"Why should you be so flustered, father? Your daughter didn't say anything. Isn't this the truth you told me?" Mu Lanfeng raised the corners of his mouth, as if he was smiling but not really smiling.

Mu Xun touched his forehead to hide his embarrassment. He avoided Mu Lanfeng's gaze and continued, "Your father knows that you have always been brooding over your biological mother's death!"

"My daughter just wants to know the truth. If it is true as you said, then why does everyone in this house keep silent about this matter?" Mu Lanfeng said in a firm tone, leaving almost no room for negotiation.

The anger in Mu Xun's eyes was visibly burning. He tried hard to suppress himself from exploding. He calmed down and said, "Didn't your father tell you that your biological mother is the daughter of a traitor? If that servant with a loose mouth spreads it, the whole Mu Mansion will be finished!"

Mu Lanfeng sneered and looked at Mu Xun as if he were a stranger. He was even more heartless than she had imagined.

"You are a smart child, you should understand the seriousness of this! Your father is also trying to protect the whole family!" Mu Xun sighed and continued.

After a moment of silence, Mu Lanfeng relaxed, "Okay, just as father said, my daughter still has something unclear..."

"What's the matter? Tell me!" Mu Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Lanfeng paused for a moment, then changed the subject: "Nothing else!"

She suddenly didn't want to ask anymore. Even if she asked, what Mu Xun said might not be true. It would be better for her to go there herself.

Seeing that Mu Lanfeng didn't say anything, Mu Xun hesitated to speak. He knew that Mu Lanfeng must have something else to say, but he didn't know why he suddenly changed his mind.

"Kid, just ask whatever you want to ask!" Mu Xun said with a worried look on his face.

"Father, please go back. Your daughter really has nothing to ask!" Mu Lanfeng flatly denied.

Mu Xun shook his head helplessly and compromised, "Then you take a good rest, your father will go back!"

……

Night fell, it was pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. Mu Lanfeng changed into a nightgown, covered her face with a black veil, opened the door, and quietly disappeared into the darkness...

Mu Lanfeng came to the yard again. She wanted to meet the strange woman again.

The yard is still very tidy and clean. The flowers and plants have almost withered, but the cypress tree is still lush and green.

From afar, there was a faint light on in the house, flickering as if it would go out at any time. Two hazy figures in the house were looming on the window. Judging from the figure, the other person in the house was actually Mu Xun.

Mu Lanfeng quietly landed in the yard, bent down and walked slowly to the window, holding his breath to listen to the movements in the house.

"The Emperor wants Lan Feng to be buried alive with him. The imperial decree has come down. What can I do? I can't sacrifice hundreds of lives in the Mu family just for her! What do you think I should do?" Mu Xun said, almost choking with tears.

"If I had known this would happen, I would have never let her come back!" the woman sighed.

"I'm sorry for having wronged you over the years!" Mu Xun said with a hint of guilt.

"I don't blame you. It's just that I couldn't get over this hurdle in my heart and couldn't stand the condemnation of my conscience, so I confined myself to a circle..." The woman's words showed that she had seen through the world.

Conscience condemns?

What does she mean?

Mu Lanfeng was puzzled. Why did the woman feel guilty? Who was she?

"Hey~"

"If you were still here, Lan Feng wouldn't have to suffer so much, and the mansion wouldn't be in such a mess!" Mu Xun's words were filled with regret.

"Master, it's all in the past, don't mention it again. She is the niece of the Empress Dowager and has a very glorious life. Although she used some shady means, it will be helpful to your career!" the woman consoled.

Listening to the conversation between the two people in the room, Mu Lanfeng quickly searched for people he knew when he was a child in his mind, and finally locked his target on Mu Xun’s original wife, Qiao...

Yes, it's her!

When Mu Lanfeng first saw the woman, she felt that she looked like Qiao, but her childhood memories were too vague. Although she didn't know what method Qiao used to keep her face young, she was very sure that it was Qiao!

Although Mrs. Qiao would not treat them like her own children, she would not harm them. They had no worries about food and clothing, so she was considered a qualified stepmother!

Compared to Jiang who said one thing in front of you and another behind your back, Qiao is like a living Bodhisattva!

Mu Lanfeng vaguely felt that Qiao still had feelings for Mu Xun, not just because she couldn't get over her guilty conscience, otherwise she wouldn't have made such a big sacrifice!

If Qiao is not dead, then all this seems to make sense!

Judging from the current situation, Jiang probably doesn't know that Qiao is still alive.

"Master, the old lady forced Sister An to death for the sake of the whole family. You shouldn't blame her!"

what?

Mu Lanfeng couldn’t believe her ears. She would rather she had heard it wrong, or that Qiao was wrong!

"I think if Sister An is still alive, she wouldn't want the master to become enemies with the old lady and her son because of her!"

……

The conversation in the room continued, but Mu Lanfeng seemed unable to hear a word.

Now it seems that there is no need to go into the house. She finally understood why Qiao asked her not to trust anyone.

Ever since she took her first step into the Mu Mansion, Mu Lanfeng has unconditionally believed in her loving grandmother. To her, this is a rare family relationship, and she cherishes it very much!

Was God playing a joke on her? It was a huge joke. The person she trusted the most turned out to be the murderer who forced her biological mother to death!

From this point of view, everything can be explained. The bad relationship between mother and son is not because Mu Xun is unfilial, but because the old lady forced the person Mu Xun loved most to death, and Mu Xun couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart!

Mu Lanfeng himself didn't know how he left that yard...

When she woke up in the morning, Biqing saw Mu Lanfeng sitting in the yard. His eyes were dull, and there were crystal clear dewdrops on his hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes. His cheeks were pale...

"Girl, why are you sitting here?" Biqing cried out.

Bi Qing quickly stepped forward, ready to help Mu Lanfeng back to the house to rest. The moment she touched her body, Bi Qing trembled...

The cold air is as biting as ice, so cold that people dare not get close!

"Girl, don't scare me!" Biqing said tremblingly.

Seeing that Mu Lanfeng didn't answer and remained indifferent, she looked inside the house and called out, "Hong..."

Before Bi Qing could scream, Mu Lanfeng covered her mouth with his hand. Then, her voice was a little hoarse and weak, "I'm fine, don't make a sound!"

He slowly stood up, staggered, and walked into the house...
