Chapter 122 Sachet and Being Beaten
She remembered that she met Sang Shu at the last Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
At that time, he didn't have the side bangs on his forehead. Mu Lianzhi's first reaction was that he was beaten.
Although Chi Yan has no tradition of not cutting hair, he still pays attention to the saying "your hair and body are given by your parents". If he doesn't stay at home after being beaten, he will go to the house in person to cut his hair. It must be something important.
The son-in-law of the Marquis's Mansion is not as honest as he appears.
Thinking of how Chunmiao was bullied by him in her previous life, wanted to leave, and finally sold to a brothel, and committed suicide due to the humiliation, Mu Lianzhi felt a chill on her fingertips. She had a vague feeling that Chunmiao must have suffered for her in her previous life and ended up like that.
This time, she would never let the same thing happen again.
She gave Chunmiao a signal with her eyes, and she understood. She nodded slightly at her, then backed away little by little towards the direction where the maids were gathered.
Because they were all family members, the return journey was sparse and obviously more casual. Mu Lianzhi was always the last one, not too far behind, all alone.
In other words, as a modern person, she has long been accustomed to independent living. If it were the original owner, I wonder how lonely and worried she would be.
She was distracted and entered Fudeyuan. When she looked closely, she saw Ling Feier, who was holding hands with her good sister and whispering, taking a sachet from Hua Shuolei.
There seems to be a pair of colorful mandarin ducks on the bright red sachet embroidered with rich patterns, which is very eye-catching at first glance.
At this moment, a breeze blew by, and a scent of flowers mixed with fruit drifted over. Hua Shuolei smiled ostentatiously, and Mu Lianzhi shivered unconsciously.
"smell good!"
Rubbing his nose, Mu Lianzhi stepped forward and poked his head out with a smile:
"What a beautiful sachet. This must have been embroidered by my cousin. It's so pretty! What a unique scent. I wonder what kind of spices are in it? It smells so good. Miss, could you lend it to me? I'll..."
Go get one too.
Before she could finish her words, Ling Feier suddenly withdrew her hand and almost hid the sachet behind her back. However, her movement was so big that it accidentally caught Mu Lianzhi's wide sleeve.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
Ling Fei'er's expression changed, and Mu Lianzhi looked surprised:
"Miss?"
Seeing this, Hua Shuolei quickly tried to smooth things over:
"Cousin, this is a wedding scent sachet, which is specially used by brides. It's not because I avoid you, but because you are a widow. It's a bit unlucky to touch it. Please don't blame me."
"It contains just ordinary spices, such as rose, lily, tangerine peel, with some longan, lotus seeds, etc., just to bring good luck."
"If you like it, I'll bring you another one next time you come."
"This... is indeed not appropriate. Please don't blame Fei'er. This is very particular. After it is given, married women who are not on good terms cannot touch it."
Holding Mu Lianzhi's hand, Hua Shuolei patted it affectionately, as if doing it for her own good. However, who exactly this was for, probably only she knew.
"I see. I didn't think it through."
There was obviously something wrong with this sachet. If it was just a suspicion at the beginning, Mu Lianzhi was almost certain at this moment.
Hua Shuolei's reaction makes sense, but Ling Feier's reaction is a bit unreasonable.
Things that she had been unable to understand before suddenly became clear to her at this moment.
For a newlywed, what can you give as a gift in a legitimate way that you don’t have to worry about others knowing about it, but also can’t be seen by others?
It's nothing more than the private matters between men and women.
It is a sachet to add to the fun.
Or it may have an aphrodisiac effect under certain specific circumstances, such as when used for more than a certain period of time, in a confined space, in contact with water, or encountering some kind of catalyst.
Ling Feier must have thought that was the case, and was afraid that she would notice something, which was why she reacted so strongly.
As for the flower buds...
How could she be so kind as to help Ling Feier and the young master get together?
If her guess was correct, most of the things in it were either contraceptives, infertility drugs or things that would cause abortion. She was smart enough to successfully use their relationship and the wedding to take advantage of this loophole.
"It's better to believe it than not. The happiness of the young lady is more important. And don't forget the sachet my cousin promised me next time."
Mu Lianzhi pulled his hand back and distanced himself from the two men.
Then the group went back to the old lady's room and sat for a while. Seeing that there was nothing to do and that the conversation was just polite talk, Mu Lianzhi found a reason and left.
……
Just as she returned to Yuxiuyuan, Chunmiao also came back.
"Miss."
"Did you find out anything?"
"There is no doubt that Master Gu was beaten by someone, but there are many different opinions about the reasons. I am not sure who it was. Some maids said that he was drunk and had an argument with someone, some said that he was beaten because he drank too much and robbed a woman, and some said that he might have been plotted against... The only thing that is certain is that he was beaten outside."
After a pause, Chunmiao added:
"By the way, I heard that the entire Sang Mansion was very secretive about this matter. They explained to the outside world that he fell down because he was drunk, so everyone guessed that the person who beat him must have some status, and might be someone that even the Langzhong Mansion couldn't afford to offend."
"profound?"
Since it is so taboo, he should not come to the Marquis' Mansion at this time.
Something is wrong!
This is very wrong~
Drunk, beaten, and drunk?
With a flash of inspiration, Mu Lianzhi turned around and looked at Leng Yun on the side:
"Go find Mu Lian and ask her to find out."
"Chun Miao, go call Leng Yu in. I have something for her to do."
……
At Fudeyuan, after Mu Lianzhi left, the others also left one after another, and sent Li Ma to guard the door. The old lady was about to reminisce with Ling Yuyao and her daughter, but Ling Yuyao knelt down with a plop:
"Mother, help me."
"Yao'er, what are you doing?"
Bending over, the old lady wanted to help her up. She struggled, but Ling Yuyao refused to get up. In the end, she just wiped her tears:
"Mother, I won't get up unless you agree~"
The old lady had only one daughter, the youngest, who was raised with love since she was young. No one knew better than her how willful and arrogant Ling Yuyao was. Seeing this, she vaguely knew that this matter was probably not a small matter.
"I told you it wasn't a festive occasion, why did you come back without telling me? You don't come here for no reason, you~"
Sighing helplessly, the old lady still said lovingly:
"Tell me! Did you have a fight with your son-in-law?"
It was strange enough that she came back, and the couple actually came back together. Moreover, from what she saw in the morning, it seemed that Sang Shu's injuries did not look like those caused by a fall.
She shook her head like a rattle, but Ling Yuyao couldn't stop crying:
"Mother, my husband was framed. He slept with Qi Rui's concubine without knowing why, and was caught red-handed."
"If it was just a beating, an apology or compensation, it would be a small matter. We would be willing to settle it privately anyway, but the other party is holding on to it and won't let go... He insists that we have lost our dignity as men and want to make us pay."
"We used a lot of connections to smooth things over, and finally he relented, but he wanted us to compensate him with a woman, he wanted..."
He wants Mu Lianzhi!
