Chapter 241 Provocation

Helian Minmin's eyes were red, her heart seemed to be torn by dull pain, and she was also on the verge of falling, unable to make a sound. Nanny Feng took Gui Li with her, each supporting her by one elbow, to hold her up.

Looking outside, the housekeeper of the Helian Mansion was leading people to build a coffin and set up a mourning veil. In front of the mourning hall is an altar, and the incense candles on it are ready.

Seeing that the master's eyes were bloodshot, she kept looking at the door, Mother Feng shook her head helplessly, and helped her to sit down in the living room.

"Master, His Highness is still in the outskirts of Beijing, and he didn't get back so quickly when he got the news. It snowed again tonight, and I'm afraid the road is slippery, making it even more difficult to walk. There may be some delay."

As soon as she spoke comforting words, Nanny Feng also felt uncomfortable. When the master was most sad, His Highness was not by his side... After a woman leaves the cabinet, all she can count on is the man in the family. At this time, why did His Highness not come back so late?

On the contrary, the second young lady, who was usually at odds with her master, arrived early and brought greetings from His Highness the Eighth Highness, which made the master express his gratitude.

At the south gate of Shengjing City, His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness came in person, and the city gate officials naturally had to let it go. Wei Zhen was driving the carriage steadily, and was about to ask the master which direction to go, but His Highness in the carriage had already given orders first.

"Go to the mansion in the east of the city first, and then to Helian's mansion."

Wei Zhen was silent, he didn't have the guts to speak up in front of His Highness the Sixth Highness. As the saying goes, death is the most important thing for a person, and when weddings and weddings collide with each other, it is still red to avoid. In front of Master Yao, I guess, except for His Royal Highness and the two above, I'm afraid they all have to give way to this one.

This is often the case in the world, but there is no reason to talk about it. Concubine Helian was looking forward to it with all her heart, but she couldn't wait for anyone to come; Master Yao slept soundly, knowing nothing at all, but was supported by His Highness wholeheartedly. This difference... Perhaps it is only logical that the two positions should be reversed.

After sending Mu Xiyao back to the room, Zong Zhenglin leaned over to touch the top of her hair before turning around, only to find that the sleeve fell into the little woman's hands. Mu Xiyao clenched her fists loosely, hooked his cuffs with curled fingers, and brought her hands together, as if holding someone to prevent her from leaving.

Zongzheng Linfeng's eyes were radiant, and his face was soft. Only by inadvertently relying on Mu Xiyao can reveal the tenderness hidden under Mu Xiyao's shrewd appearance.

Gently relaxing her fingers, Zong Zhenglin caressed her eyebrows and lips, couldn't help sighing, stayed for a while, and then left.

With the fiery chest warming behind her, Mu Xiyao turned over and faced inside. A pair of eyes slowly opened, but they were as clear as water, and there was no sleepiness at all.

It wasn't until Mrs. Helian was buried in the coffin that Zong Zhenglin arrived with his people. Helian Minmin forcefully stood up, sobbing and crying loudly when she saw someone.

Zongzheng Lin narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, met He Lianzhang briefly, and helped her to rest in the living room. In the morning, relatives came over. If you don't have some strength now, you won't be able to hold the vigil.

At this time, Helian was suffering in front of him, whether he was genuinely sad or just putting on a show, Zong Zhenglin didn't bother to care about it. Even for Mu Xiyao's sake, he had to be patient and persuade her.

With the old man still alive, Mu Xiyao must not bear the reputation of spoiling his concubine and destroying his wife.

"Mrs. Helian has just left, if you don't want people to go uneasy, Minmin still needs to take care of her body." Pointing to the little maid to bring a hand stove, Zong Zhenglin handed it to her to keep warm.

"Your Highness." He Lianmin burst into tears, her face was pale, and her hands were trembling when she took the stove. "Your Highness, my mother passed away suddenly. She was usually healthy and painless, so how could she suddenly collapse. I feel uncomfortable, and I can't figure it out no matter what."

He Lianmin shook Zong Zhenglin's palm eagerly, pain and hope flashed in his eyes. "Your Highness, if the mother is not a disease that the imperial physician said she had been ill for a long time, but was harmed by others, please ask Your Highness to be the concubine's master. In terms of the relationship between husband and wife, give the concubine justice."

Weeping while talking, so weak and pitiful.

Zong Zhenglin comforted and patted the back of her hand, got up and stood behind her, held her hands and hugged the stove, but he took advantage of the situation to get away from her. "If Minmin notices something strange, you can tell this hall to know. Madam is Minmin's biological mother, so she should be respected by this hall. If someone deliberately murders her, it will be a life lawsuit, which will never be tolerated."

Tears rolled down Helian Minmin's eyes, her heart was completely cold. After such an intimate act just now, Zong Zhenglin finally let go of her hand...

"Because there's still an hour left, Minmin would like to rest. Let's take a look at the front of the hall." Zong Zhenglin got up and stepped out of the threshold, just in time to meet the plain white Helian Weirui who was coming towards him.

"My concubine greets Your Highness." Helian Weirui lowered her eyes, her emotions were complicated and difficult to express.

"Excuse me." Zong Zhenglin nodded slightly, seeing her in a simple and elegant outfit, he recalled Mu Xiyao's malicious judgment in his mind.

"People with dirty minds, the cleaner they dress, the more annoying their eyes will be." Looking into Helian Weirui's eyes, it was as the woman said, muddy and disgusting.

Impatient for a moment, Zong Zhenglin left with Wei Zhen. Only Helian Weirui was left standing at the door, with half of his face hidden in the night, looking thoughtfully at his stalwart back.

It was the few times the two met, and the Sixth Highness was alienated and cold from the beginning to the end. Thinking of her, Helian Weirui has a beautiful complexion, a glamorous temperament, and an even more enchanting figure. These can make ordinary men easily conquer, but they have not accomplished anything in front of him.

But what was the reason for the scrutiny just now? With her fairly keen perception, that cold look must not be appreciation. I don't know where she annoyed him again. Or was Namu's narrow-minded, taking advantage of the wind from her pillow, to taunt her, pointing fingers and scolding her?

Helian Weirui has enough brains, but it's a pity that she didn't understand Mu Xiyao's temper.

If she is to be hated, that woman always refers to her by name, and she doesn't know what politeness is. Ridiculously ridiculing, Mu Xiyao disliked the lack of momentum and was unable to vent her anger.

That day when she and Zong Zhenglin mentioned Helian Weiwei, the two of them talked in private, but this woman didn't hold any morals.

"No woman in the Helian family can worry. Especially Helian Weirui, the concubine is the most annoying. She is completely dark from the inside out, but she is dressed in white and tender to deceive people. Your Highness, your eyeballs should be brighter." , A concubine who is so careless and heartless is the real treasure. Although I am angry with you occasionally, it is not very bad. Don't keep thinking about training my concubine, I am wronged. You can still love my concubine like this Just fine."

Zong Zhenglin patted her forehead, hugged her with a smile, leaned over and blocked her chattering little mouth.

Now that Helianwei was suspicious of Mu Xiyao, she was wrong or wrong, and most of her guesses were right.

She was pondering about His Highness the Sixth Highness's casual glance, but Helian Minmin's eyes in the room were frighteningly cold.

What a whore! Married and still hooking up with other men at the door, if she really has the same virtue as her adoptive mother, she will be a bitch in her life. Before leaving the cabinet, he tried his best to climb up to Zong Zhenglin, but now, this thought has not disappeared. Don't be afraid that His Highness the Eighth Prince will know her shady thoughts behind her back and drive her out with a letter of divorce!

The mother disappeared so suddenly, maybe it was the two mother and daughter who secretly harmed her and wanted to seize the position of the main wife of the Helian family. Helian Minmin gritted his teeth with hatred, but he still couldn't find evidence.

"Why is elder sister looking at younger sister like this?" Helian Weirui turned her head and met Helian Minmin's cold eyes, and her expression fell for a while.

"My aunt passed away, so you have the intention to seduce men behind the mourning hall. You are well-bred." Helian Minmin snorted coldly, staring at the woman who stepped forward, her eyes were full of coldness.

"Did sister scold the wrong person?" Helian Weirui was unwilling to be exposed, and her words were no longer pretentious, and she only cared about making her feel more uncomfortable.

"Sister, do you know why His Highness came so late?" Helian Weirui covered her lips and smiled. Seeing that Helian Minmin's face darkened, a smile came straight into his eyes.

"Sister knows." Then she turned around and called the maid to remove her waistcoat. Helian Weirui took a few steps to sit down, leaned close to her ear, and muttered a few words in a low voice, every word was so heartbreaking that it hurt Helian Minmin's bone marrow as if needles were constantly pricking her.

"Just now, the followers of His Highness the Eighth Prince happened to be rushing back from outside. On the way, we happened to meet Lord Wei Zhenwei driving a carriage to the east of the city. At that time... it was more than half an hour before now."

The east of the city...is actually a carriage. In the afternoon, news came that Mu's mother and son had been resettled. Unexpectedly, when His Highness returned to Beijing, he brought her all the way safely. Didn't it mean that people were in the barracks in the suburbs of Beijing? Helian Minmin felt dizzy for a while.

In order to fool around with that vixen, His Highness even dared to lie to His Majesty?

Struggling to keep herself from falling down, Helian Minmin opened her eyes. In front of her mother's mourning hall, she suddenly felt that whether it was Helian's family or the prince's mansion, she was the only one left alone in the world in such a big place. , there is not even a person who really loves her. The only one she can rely on, her righteous husband, but she is always not her in his heart...

It took two days for Zong Zhenglin to leave. Locked in the mansion, Mu Xiyao occasionally heard that Mrs. Helian's funeral was extremely decent, and many rumors were also made public.

For example, His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness has a deep affection for the prince and concubine, and has always been by his side with great care. He attached great importance to Helian's family, and specially handed over a name card, asking the abbot of Anguo Temple to perform two rituals for Mrs. Helian.

Mu Xiyao listened with gusto, covering her mouth from time to time secretly laughing. Thinking about it, that man's patience is almost to the limit, maybe he will be able to meet him tomorrow?

Yan Chengzhou picked up the two young masters back to the mansion on the second day, and Mu Xiyao was too busy to leave.

The older one held a small stool in a serious manner, and sat obediently in front of him, clamoring for a story. The little one is only two months old, and he doesn't understand anything, he only knows how to cry hoarsely, which means that if he is not given milk, he will continue to make trouble.

Mu Xiyao's head was as big as a bucket, so she quickly called Mo Lan into the room, imitating the example, taking Mu Xiyao's specially written script, and following the script, Cheng Qing was finally able to calm down, and stopped arguing for a mother.

Taking care of two children at the same time made Mu Xiyao feel powerless for the first time. Chengqing is okay, and Nanny Gui is with her. Chengyou lacks a reliable person, so she can't rest assured.

Thinking of this, Mu Xiyao immediately thought of the girl next to Mo Wanqing.

Zong Zhengming has changed a lot in this life, and he is not blindly hostile to Zong Zhenglin. Many things are different from the previous life, and at this time, that girl will not be of much use. It's better to get rid of the plan and get it back and put it by your side. Besides, that girl is also Ruo Lan's distant cousin, she is loyal and clever. If it wasn't for her last time, Mu Xiyao wouldn't have been able to easily invite Zong Zhenglin to rescue her.

Do it as soon as you think of it, Mu Xiyao wrote a handwritten letter, called Qiang Saner from the yard to see him, and explained carefully that he must hand it over to the chief steward.

Originally thinking that Zong Zhenglin was not in the prince's mansion, Tian Fushan would be able to safely deliver the letter through the hidden guards. Unexpectedly, there were many twists and turns due to mistakes.
