Fight the Giants

  Chapter 18 Such a person

  The Mu Mansion in the capital occupies a very large area. Every street is the site of the Mu Mansion.

  Since the first generation of Xiping Hou Muying was sent by Emperor Gaozu to the southwest border to quell the chaos and guard Yunnan, the ancestral house of the capital has been deserted. Now it is Mu Yan's mother-in-law, Cheng Shi, who is staying in the capital as the clan wife.

  Since Mu Yan returned to the capital, Mrs. Cheng's heart like a dry well came alive.

  During the Double Ninth Festival, I just wanted to get close to my son, but my son went to Xinchenghou's Mansion early in the morning. Cheng doesn't like to socialize, so he just sits in the mansion for a long time, feeling bored.

  Suddenly after hearing the report from the servants, the young master went back to the mansion, so he greeted him happily.

  Mu Yan entered the mansion, and when she saw her coming, she paused.

   With a cold face, he opened his mouth: "Auntie."

  Cheng's breathing was stagnant, and his heart felt as if someone had splashed it with ice water, cooling it down.

  Mu Yan clenched her fists and wanted to say something, but she pursed her lips again. Staggered with her, back to his own yard.

  Cheng stood there in a daze, like a puppet.

  The maid Liu Mama next to her couldn't bear to see her uncomfortable. Consolingly said: "Ma'am, it's just a title. The young master is back in Beijing, and it's better to be by my side than not seeing him before."

  Ms. Cheng pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and forced a smile: "Yes, what the mother said is true."

   Seeing that she listened to the persuasion, Nanny Liu felt relieved. Then he said softly: "Looking at the young master's appearance, he probably hasn't eaten much. With his temperament, he is probably still empty stomach at this moment. Madam..."

   "Yes, yes, I'll go to the kitchen and arrange meals for him myself." Cheng regained his composure, turned around and hurried towards the kitchen.

  Mu Yan returned to her study with a gloomy face.

   These years, she was taken to Yunnan by her grandfather, and passed on to her uncle, and her mother became an aunt.

  In Yunnan, I can’t feel at ease when I drink water or eat food, and I can’t sleep well at night. All the way back to Beijing, being chased and killed at the door of the house, and all the way back with her life, didn't she just think that she was alone in the capital?

  Now it is not called mother, nor is it called aunt.

   A cloud of turbid air rose in Mu Yan's chest, and it couldn't be dispelled. A face is like the ice of a millennium cold pool, and it will be frostbitten if it is approached.

  Guard Kan Er shuddered, not daring to approach. He just stayed outside the study door.

  After noon, Li Yi came back to inquire about the news. When Kan Er saw him, he breathed a sigh of relief, moved his hands and feet, didn't speak, only winked at him, and tilted his head to let him in.

  Li Yixin realized it, punched him, reported at the door, and opened the door to go in.

   "Young master, I have found out clearly from the past. Young master, guess what, it is a girl, and we still know each other. It is the girl we rescued on the way back to Beijing."

  Kan Er, who was standing at the door, heard the news, and hurriedly walked in: "Really?"

   looked at Mu Yan again: "Master, how did you recognize it?"

  Li Yi kicked him: "Young master has sharp eyes, I thought everyone was just like you!"

  Mu Yan sneered, what kind of piercing eyes, but he has been able to read words since he was a child. He was poisoned and hunted down by people all these years, and he didn't wink at him. The grass on his grave was taller than people.

   "What's her relationship with the Zhang family?" Mu Yan said lightly.

   Hey, is the young master so powerful? She also guessed that she had something to do with the Zhang family. All eyes are rounded.

   "It's just seeing the hatred in her eyes."

  For a poor boy, the hatred in his eyes is obviously abnormal. Mu Yan was playing with the paperweight on the table, disguised as a man?

   "She has a grudge against the Zhang family?" Kan Er was a little curious.

  The Zhang family in Xincheng Hou's Mansion has a good reputation.

  Zhang Fu Lao Zi Rong Guogong Zhang Yu, although he was the Privy Councilor of the Wu Dynasty, he later voted for the Wei Dynasty and followed the King of Yan. In the end, because he rescued the trapped new emperor, he broke into the enemy's formation and died in battle. The new emperor said that "Jing Nan Gong is the first", and he was named Rong Guogong.

  After ascending the throne, the new emperor rewarded the meritorious officials.

  Not only Zhang Yu's eldest son Zhang Fu was granted the title of Marquis of Xincheng, hereditary. The second son, Zhang Yu, was also promoted to the commander of Shence Guard and the right governor of the Chinese army's governor's mansion. The third son, Zhang Fu, was promoted to be the commander of Jinyiwei, and the right governor of the former military governor's mansion.

   It is Zhang Yu's daughter, who was originally the concubine of the King of Yan, but now she has to be named a noble concubine. A real noble family, with flowers and brocades.

   Who else can be recruited to bear grudges?

  Kan Er couldn't figure it out, so he looked at Li Yi. As expected of Li Yi's background as a spy, he has already found out all about Huo Xi's situation.

"The young master returned to the capital late. I don't know. The young master Zhang's family celebrated today was not born to Yuan's wife, but Zhang Fu's concubine, Wu. Zhang Fu's Yuan's wife is called Li. The daughter of Li Shimian, Yuan Guozijian Jijiu, has a daughter, the girl we rescued earlier. The baby she was holding in her arms was the legitimate son of the Li family."

  Kan Er has been living with them in the southwest, and he only started to make up for the personnel affairs in Beijing when he returned to Beijing, and he doesn't know much about the inner house.

   At this time, I was very puzzled: "Then how do you declare to celebrate the eldest son's birthday?"

   "Of course the Li family died, and the Wu family was restored." Mu Yan sneered.

   "What the young master said is true. The Li family announced that she died of dystocia, and two lives were lost. The eldest daughter also went with her because of excessive grief."

  Mu Yan sneered, isn't this a trick commonly used by wealthy families?

   "Huh? Is this necessary?" Kan Er was stunned.

   "No way, he, Zhang Fu, can be named a hereditary marquis? Who in the palace can be named a noble concubine?" The new emperor didn't know how much he hated the former officials who refused to surrender.

  Li Yi couldn't tell what was in his heart.

  Kan Er sighed with emotion: "It's so miserable, why should the Li family watch?"

  Li Yi sighed: "I guess Li Shimian doesn't know about this. What's more, the day we rescued the girl was the day Li Jijiu and his family were exiled to Sichuan."

   "Huh? This..." is too miserable. Worse than the young master?

  The young master's title is gone, but at least his parents are still there, so he doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking. But look at that child of the Zhang family, who was living outside, was directly declared by his own family to be gone.

  The young master's luck is better than her. As soon as Kan Er looked towards Mu Yan, he received Mu Yan's cold gaze.

   He shuddered directly.

  It’s so cold, with the young master’s appearance, you can save a lot of money on ice in the summer house.

   "Is she still in the capital?"

  Mu Yan couldn't tell why he wanted to inquire about her. Possibly worse than him?

Li nodded, then shook his head again: "She was rescued by a pair of fishermen on the river begging for a living. The siblings changed their names to Huo Xi Huo Nian. The subordinates followed her to the ferry in the outer city, and saw her adoptive mother coming out to greet her with her brother in her arms. After coming out, although life was a little bit hard, the couple treated her siblings as if they were their own."

  Mu Yan glanced at him with a smile that was not a smile: "Like her own life? She is a good Miss of the Hou Mansion, and now her traces have been wiped off. I want you, are you willing?"

   Li shook his head violently. I guess I hate them to death and throw a fire at Zhang's house every day.

  Mu Yan suddenly felt the turbidity in his chest dissipated, and rubbed his belly: "Pass the meal, the young master is hungry."

  Ah, aren't you in the mood?

  Hearing that others are worse than him, are you in the mood to eat? Master, I didn't expect you to be such a person.
