Chapter 91 Jiang's Plan
Chapter 91 Jiang's Plan
Jiang felt something was wrong and walked ahead without noticing that Mu Baiying had fallen behind. She muttered to herself as she walked, "Why did the King of Yan come back?"
She repeated it several times, paused, turned to Mu Baiying and asked, "Why did you come back?"
Seeing that something bad was about to happen, Mu Baiying pretended to cough twice to remind Jiang that Mu Xun was still there.
Jiang immediately reacted. She raised her hand and rubbed her temple. She looked at Mu Xun with a worried look on her face and said, "Master, I have had a severe headache in recent days. Thinking about Lan Feng's burial, I felt so upset that I couldn't sleep all night."
"Dad, mom is also in a dilemma. On one side is my fifth sister, and on the other side are the lives of hundreds of people in the entire Mu family. If mom has been careless in any way, I hope dad will not blame mom." Mu Baiying hurriedly came out to help, and her words were sincere and touching.
Mu Xun heard every word Jiang said to herself, but at this moment he could only pretend that he heard nothing. He smiled and comforted her, "Your mother has good intentions and is concerned about the overall situation. How can a father blame her?"
"Master, you know that my hard work is worth more than anything else!" Jiang smiled and said with relief.
Mu Xun nodded, held her shoulders, patted her, and said with concern: "Madam, you have worked hard!" He turned to Mu Baiying and said, "Baiying, your mother is not feeling well, go back and have a good rest! Your father has some official business to attend to, so he will not accompany you and your daughter!"
"Dad, please go and do your work. Your daughter is here with you, so don't worry. Take care, Dad!" Mu Baiying took over the conversation, wishing that Mu Xun would disappear immediately.
Mu Xun nodded slightly, turned around and left first.
Jiang's mother and daughter looked at Mu Xun's receding back with lingering fear.
"Why is mother so careless? Fortunately, she was far away and probably didn't hear it clearly!" Mu Baiying's words were full of emotion.
Jiang glanced in the direction of Ziyunxuan and was very angry: "It's all because of that damn girl Mu Lanfeng. Nothing good has happened since the day she came back. She has made me uneasy!"
"We lost again this time. If we had known that King Yan was not dead, we would have killed her earlier!" Mu Baiying clenched her hands tightly and said hatefully.
Jiang looked around and did not respond to Mu Baiying's words. She only reminded in a low voice: "Baiying, be careful with your words. There are so many people around. It's better to go back to Wuqiuxuan and make a long-term plan!"
No matter how much Mu Baiying hated it, she could only nod helplessly.
The servants who followed them were all their own people, but people’s hearts were hidden in their hearts, so who could tell for sure!
The mother and daughter hurried back to Wuqiuxuan. Jiang ordered people to close the door and told outsiders that she had a headache and needed to rest well and not see outsiders.
"I always feel that Mu Lanfeng is very evil. Even if she is older, she shouldn't have changed so much!" Jiang paced in the room, unable to figure out the reason.
"Mother, do you mean that this Mu Lanfeng is fake?" Mu Baiying asked.
Jiang lowered her head and thought without stopping. She was silent for a while before she replied, "It's hard to say. If it's fake, how can there be two people in the world who look exactly the same? If it's real, except for the face, everything else is different from before!"
"My daughter has heard of a disguise technique that can change one's face. Mother, do you think Mu Lanfeng can..." Mu Baiying guessed.
"This... We have no evidence, she won't admit it. The defense of Ziyunxuan is like an iron barrel. Ordinary people can't enter Ziyunxuan. Even if someone enters, outsiders can't get close to her, and no information can be found out!" Jiang said with a frown.
"Hmph!" Mu Baiying snorted coldly, looking at Jiang and said, "Mother is confused. What we want is evidence, not whether it's true or not! Haha, mother, do you understand..."
Jiang suddenly realized what was going on. She stroked Mu Baiying's head and said proudly, "My Baiying is still smart!"
Mu Baiying continued, "We have to get started on this matter right away. Prince Yan has already returned. If we set the wedding date, it will be too late!"
"That may not be the case. The imperial edict granting marriage states that the princess the Prince of Yan wants to marry is Mu Lanfeng, the daughter of the prime minister. What if she is not the prime minister's daughter?" Jiang reminded.
Mu Baiying looked at Jiang, they smiled at each other, and immediately understood the deep meaning of her mother's words.
"We have to think carefully this time. We can't let her have a chance to turn things around. We've wasted too much time on her! There are more important things to plan for later!" Jiang said
"My daughter understands, but I don't like that King Cheng at all, not to mention that he is just a concubine!"
"Bai Ying, it doesn't matter whether you like him or not. What matters is that Prince Cheng likes you, and the matter of the concubine was decided by the emperor. It's no wonder that Prince Cheng is so wrong. You also know that the emperor and the queen mother have always been at odds, and the emperor is afraid of the queen mother. So you can only endure it for now. People who accomplish great things don't care about trivial matters. You will always have a chance if you marry him. It's inevitable that people will get sick if they eat all kinds of grains!" Jiang advised earnestly.
At this time, she naturally didn't want Mu Baiying to act on her emotions.
Although Mu Baiying felt aggrieved, she immediately smiled when she thought of the good days ahead: "Don't worry, mother. I can still distinguish the priorities!"
Jiang nodded happily, turned around, opened the door, and called Hong Yuan: "Hong Yuan, come here!"
Because the mother and daughter have a secret that cannot be told, Hong Yuan is asked to stand guard at a distance.
Hearing the voice, Hong Yuan quickly walked to Jiang and lowered her head and asked, "What do you want, Madam?"
"Go call Mother Wang over!" Jiang ordered.
Hong Yuan looked embarrassed and hesitated for a long time without moving.
Seeing that Hong Yuan didn't move, Jiang Shi couldn't help but get angry and said angrily, "You bold girl, don't you think my words are effective?"
"Madam, please calm down. Mother Wang was seriously injured. She has been lying on the bed wailing since she came back from Ziyunxuan!" Hong Yuan said anxiously.
"Damn it!" Jiang was so angry that she forgot that Mother Wang was beaten by Mu Lanfeng.
She knew in her heart that Mother Wang was old after all, and her old bones could not withstand such torture!
"Find someone to call her son Wang Wei over, and don't let anyone know!" Jiang said.
"Yes, ma'am!" Hong Yuan didn't dare to ask more questions after hearing that, and turned around and walked out.
"It seems that Mother Wang is useless!" Mu Baiying said quietly while standing behind Jiang.
"Bai Ying, you can't say that. She has made no contributions over the years, but she has also worked hard. You will understand in the future!"
What Mu Baiying didn't understand now was why her mother would protect a servant so much.
Before, in order to save her, he had to beg Mu Lanfeng humbly. Although she didn't understand, she couldn't go against Jiang's wishes.
"Mother, I'm a little tired and want to go to sleep for a while!" Mu Baiying said with a yawn.
"Go! Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. Mother will arrange it!" Jiang looked at Mu Baiying and liked her more and more.
Mu Baiying turned and entered the warm room.
Jiang was laughing when she suddenly realized something was wrong. Her daughter Mu Baiying had been complaining about being sleepy lately. She felt somewhat uneasy. She hoped it wasn't what she thought...
