Destroy the scumbag husband, beat the bitch, the reborn legitimate daughter overturns the entire cap
Chapter 101 Encountering the Assassin Again!
“My two cousins are also going to see the lanterns. If I’m not mistaken, they will definitely come to our door in a little while.”
Mu Qing then understood and laughed, "So that's how it is. Miss came back to change clothes just to deliberately delay things?"
Mu Xin Nuan nodded and smiled, "Both of my cousins are extremely skilled, and with the guards from the General's Mansion, Ah Xuan's safety should be no problem."
Hearing this, Mu Hua frowned slightly. "Miss, since you know that Song Shi is not someone to be trifled with, why don't you just kill her?"
“Kill her? No! If she dies now, the old lady and Song Tao will only blame everything on Mother. In that case, Mother’s life will not be easy. If Mother becomes depressed and bedridden, she will have even less say in this household.”
As Mu Xin Nuan spoke, a faint sorrow appeared on her face, as if she were recalling past events!
“Miss, I just find it strange. You used that Song woman as a test subject for medicines several times. If she weren't stupid, she would have guessed that someone in the manor disliked her and was doing it on purpose. If she were smart, she should have immediately given up such a despicable idea. But why would she?”
"Her? It's precisely because she guessed this that she's even more determined to leave the Plum Blossom Courtyard. Only in this way can she stop being bullied and avenge the mistreatment she suffered! Song Shi has always been restless; unless she dies, don't expect her to settle down!"
This time, Mu Qing finally understood and exclaimed in realization, "So, there was another reason why Miss deliberately used her as a test subject?"
Mu Hua draped a rose-red cloak trimmed with fur over Mu Xin Nuan's shoulders, tying it in a knot as she asked, puzzled, "What's the reason?"
Mu Qing smiled and said, "Miss deliberately provoked Song Shi's fighting spirit, making her suffer so much that she almost couldn't bear it anymore! But Song Shi is extremely afraid of death, so how could she bear to commit suicide? Therefore, she will definitely try every means to contact someone who can help her! Miss did this to see who is in the backyard of the Mu family, relaying messages for her. In addition, she also wants to use Song Shi to implicate the entire Song family. Only in this way can future troubles be eliminated."
Mu Xin Nuan smiled faintly and remained silent, neither nodding nor denying.
Mu Hua, on the other hand, was somewhat frightened by the courage of the eleven-year-old young lady!
"Alright, let's go. Don't keep everyone waiting too long." Mu Xin Nuan took a hand warmer from Mu Qing and then instructed Granny Yu to simmer a pot of bone broth on the stove so she could make some late-night snacks for everyone when she returned later.
When Mu Xinnuan arrived at the gatehouse, Mu Qingxuan had already boarded Li Haoran and Li Haozheng's carriage.
"Sister, I'm with my two cousins, would you like to come over?"
Seeing her younger brother's expectant, bright eyes, Mu Xin Nuan suppressed the urge to ride in the carriage with him and stepped forward. "No! I still have to take care of my younger siblings. You just play with your two cousins. Remember, you must listen to your cousins and never run around."
"I understand, sister." Upon hearing Mu Xin Nuan say that he couldn't ride in the same car with Mu Qing Xuan, a hint of disappointment inevitably flashed across Mu Qing Xuan's face.
"Anuan, there are a lot of people today, so be careful not to get lost."
Mu Xin Nuan bowed to Li Hao Ran, "Thank you for your concern, Cousin." After saying this, she gave Mu Qing Xuan a few more instructions before Li Hao Ran led him into the carriage. Mu Xin Nuan then took another step closer to Li Hao Ran and whispered, "Cousin, please be careful. Tonight, I'm afraid someone might try to harm A Xuan. I'm entrusting everything to you, Cousin."
Li Haoran was stunned. By the time he came to his senses, Mu Xinnuan had already turned around and was a few steps away from him!
Li Haoran stood there, watching Mu Xinnuan get into the carriage with a smile and the others. From beginning to end, he couldn't see anything wrong with her face.
"Big brother, let's go."
Upon hearing Li Haozheng's voice, Li Haoran lifted his robe and boarded the carriage, though he remained somewhat absent-minded throughout the journey. However, he still kept Mu Xinnuan's words in mind. Along the way, besides instructing Mu Qingxuan not to wander off, he also ordered his attendant to detour to the General's Mansion and summoned more than ten guards.
The busiest street in the capital was indeed teeming with people! Everywhere was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and the festive atmosphere of the Lunar New Year was even more intense during this Lantern Festival!
Mu Xin Nuan held Mu Qing Yuan's hand the whole way and never let go.
In Mu Qingyuan's and others' eyes, she, as the eldest sister, was too doting on her younger brother and couldn't let go of him. But only she knew that she was the safest when she was with Mu Qingyuan!
Song Tao isn't stupid; he wouldn't lay a hand on his own nephew!
Of course, there's another possibility: the person who comes might not recognize Mu Qingyuan, but they might recognize Mu Xinnuan! In that case, the two of them would be the ones in trouble today!
Although Mu Xin Nuan kept smiling throughout the journey, only she knew how conflicted and fearful she was inside!
However, in order to completely eliminate the Song family and leave the old lady and Song Shi completely without support, only in this way can the problem be solved once and for all!
The method is risky, but the chances of success are high!
Before long, due to differing preferences, the group that started as one split into three or four groups. However, Mu Xin Nuan and Mu Qing Yuan remained together throughout.
Just as Mu Xin Nuan bought a small sugar figurine for Mu Qing Yuan, a cold glint flashed in her eyes. Perhaps because of her rebirth, she was extremely sensitive to everything around her! Especially in unfamiliar environments, this sensitivity was particularly striking!
The moment Mu Xin Nuan looked up, she felt a cold glint of light rushing towards her!
Mu Qing was the first to notice something was wrong and immediately drew her sword and stepped forward.
With a clang, a hidden weapon was swept to the ground by the longsword. Instantly, countless screams and frantic running echoed from the crowd.
After blocking one sword strike, Mu Qing quickly retreated to Mu Xin Nuan's side, where she and Mu Hua flanked her. Meanwhile, the four guards Mu Chang'an had sent to accompany them swiftly drew their weapons and stood ready in front and behind.
Mu Xin Nuan felt her palms were sweaty, damp, and they were sticking her hands to Mu Qing Yuan's. She frowned slightly; she knew clearly that the sweat on her palms wasn't hers. So, it belonged to her half-brother beside her!
