Chapter 141: Visit

 

Wei Zhen was secretly worried when he saw Zhao Momo bringing Chun Lan into the house to thank Mu Xi Yao.

 

Seeing that the little girl was clearly wronged, Mu Xi Yao looked moved and felt a little sour in her heart.

 

“Momo, help her up quickly.

What are you doing here in such a hurry, go back and rest.

It’s not too late to come out again in ten days and a half, Mistress will definitely not deduct your monthly payment.” 

 

There is no shortage of people around her.

The six female guards given by Zhong Zheng Lin were often idle in the courtyard.

 

Seeing that Chun Lan was sick and had to come over to work, Mu Xi Yao immediately remembered her inhumane boss’ hateful face from before.

Now that the feng shui [1] was turning well, it was her turn to be the little boss, and she naturally has to be more generous, lest the person in front of her also complains behind her back and scolds her for being mean and stingy, right

 

[1] The literal translation of “feng” means wind and “shui” means water.

In Chinese culture, wind and water are both associated with good health.

Thus, feng shui came to mean good fortune.

Superstitions believe that good or bad Feng Shui can affect the prosperity of his family, offspring good and bad, etc.

 

“Mistress, that bottle of ointment…” Chun Lan didn’t continue to speak, and big tears began to fall.

 

Mu Xi Yao was startled, what happened Does that ointment not work If it was good, why would she cry

 

“The ointment was spent in this servant.” The little maid twitched in sadness and kept wiping her eyes with her right hand.

Mistress gave her the imperial ointment, and she used it very unsteadily.

 

Mu Xi Yao was falsely alarmed by her panting when she spoke, so was the ointment bad or not

 

“Does your Mistress treat you so badly If they give you a bottle of ointment, you will cry big tears.

If someone isn’t in the know, they would think that your Mistress treated people harshly.

It’s fine, alright Just put away your tears, that ointment is just a thing.

What, do you still use it sparingly when it should be used”

 

Mu Xi Yao waved her hand, and Hui Lan took out another jar of ointment and stuffed it into Chun Lan’s arms.

 

Chun Lan originally came to thank her Mistress, but she was easily confused and led to bow for grace, and then was taken back stupidly.

Not only did she have good medicine this time around too, but she was also on sick leave for half a month, which made her mind a little bit overwhelmed.

 

Mu Xi Yao felt that the ointment that the Sixth Highness gave her was a waste.

She had a jade pendant that could warn her early on, and she was very careful about stumbling.

If something really happened, and the jade’s warning was too late to take measures, although this should be rare, one or two jars were enough for her to use.

 

“Mistress, princess consort He Lian has just returned to the mansion.

As soon as she came back, she took someone to Fanghua Garden.” Zhao Momo noticed the idle people retreating, and hurriedly reported the situation in the backyard to Mu Xi Yao.

 

Visiting Su Lin Rou for two days in a row Was He Lian Min Min preparing an alliance to go into battle

 

Mu Xi Yao felt that it should be more vivid to describe He Lian Min Min’s plan as a “pit person” [2].

 

[2] 坑人 kēngrén - a Chinese word, meaning to harm people, frame people.

Cheating people, scamming people.

 

“She got the news, and she can take care of this, which is good.” Mu Xi Yao was very optimistic about He Lian Min Min’s performance in the past few days.

This is what a princess should be like.

How could the dignified and calm woman in the previous life, the Empress of Emperor Jian’an, do nothing and remain silent like this

 

This time the He Lian House would be was forced to step forward to confront the fourth Princess, Zhong Zheng Ying.

Afraid there will be a good show to watch later.

 

Mu Xi Yao was just in the mood to be an idler, but He Lian Min Min brought someone to Danruo Courtyard the next day.

 

After greetings from both sides, there was an atmosphere of polite hospitality.

 

“Princess consort came here today, does she have something important to explain to this concubine” 

 

He Lian Min Min came here, maybe she was going to have a showdown with her and pull her to deal with Zhong Zheng Ying together

 

“Sister can really joke.

There’s nothing to explain here.

It’s just a business deal with sister.” He Lian Min Min put down the tea cup and waved to the maid behind her to step down.

 

Doing business This topic was special and immediately aroused Mu Xi Yao’s interest.

 

The maid was not stingy, and readily backed away from the person she was serving, and Mu Xi Yao eagerly waited for He Lian Min Min to speak.

Wei Zhen didn’t know in which corner to hide and was very relieved when he got permission to go away.

 

“Has sister seen the person He Lian Wei Rui”

 

Mu Xi Yao was taken aback.

This type of question… Speaking of that ambitious woman at this time, could it be said that this business was...

 

With certainty in her heart, Mu Xi Yao was not in a hurry to speak and answered her questions calmly.

“I’ve seen her twice.

This concubine met her at the incense offering at Anguo Temple for the first time.

The second time was when His Highness opened the residence.”

 

He Lian Min Min guessed that Mu Xi Yao wouldn’t hide it, but she didn’t want to speak of her own situation in detail.

Maybe it was better to talk to the woman in front of her directly.

 

“Does cefei think that He Lian Wei Rui is a good person” Since she has met the person, she should have some opinions.

 

Mu Xi Yao saw right away that He Lian Min Min’s attitude had changed.

To be honest, she was more comfortable with this way of communicating, without those twists and turns [3].

Since people gave peaches first [4], how could she not say anything

 

[3] Going around means not directly expressing your thoughts, but always expressing your thoughts through various tortuous ways or practices.

[4] 投之以桃 tóu zhī yǐ táo - Invest me with a peach, and return it with a li is a Chinese idiom, abbreviated as a peach and a li.

It means he gave me peaches and I gave him plums in return.

The meaning is to be grateful.

It is a metaphor for mutual exchange of gifts and gifts, and it is also a metaphor for mutual exchange of gifts and gifts.

 

“Did she beg Lord He Lian to enter the mansion”

 

As soon as these words came out, He Lian Min Min’s expression changed immediately.

 

How does Mu Xi Yao even know about this When did this happen The He Lian family kept this matter a secret.

How could this woman get the news so fast after spending her days in the house every day Did she have another source, or did she see through the nature of He Lian Wei Rui at a glance

 

“Principal consort, don’t be so surprised.

Your sister won the Phoenix lottery.

If she really didn’t have any ideas, it wouldn’t make sense.” Ordinary people indeed have ideas, but this He Lian Wei Rui had a big idea.

 

“Isn’t Cefei afraid that she will cause trouble with you after she enters the mansion” To win the support of the family, He Lian Wei Rui must produce results.

Mu Xi Yao was the first choice.

 

“In this way, Lord He Lian is planning to change his generals and shuffle his cards again.” Mu Xi Yao rolled up the fringed tassels around her waist  [5] and played with them, she had a very relaxed expression. 

 

[5] Similar to Bagua mirrors, knots are supposed to ward off evil spirits, hence are a symbol of longevity and eternity.

Knots act as good-luck charms given during Chinese New Year celebrations.

In Feng Shui it is believed, ‘endless knot’ symbolises a long life without setbacks. 

 

 

 

She didn’t think there was anything wrong with talking about He Lian Min Min’s father so honestly.

As for the meaning of her words, everyone clearly understood.

This was to make it clear that the two have been on the wrong path from beginning to end.

 

“How is the principal consort going to deal with her” He Lian Zhang was a royalist, this was a beautiful banner to mean he was actually greedy but lacked courage.

If he wanted to seek benefits, the most obvious shortcut was to use his relatives.

 

He Lian Min Min could not have imagined that Mu Xi Yao could see things so clearly, even the fact that she was about to become an abandoned child was unceremoniously pointed out by her.

As for Mu Xi Yao talking about Lord He Lian, without showing any politeness, He Lian Min Min didn’t mind it.

 

The family didn’t even care about her situation, what was the use of her caring about the reputation of the other party

 

Now that the two sides have spoken, there was no need to cover up.

 

“I definitely don’t want to let He Lian Wei Rui enter this prince’s mansion.” He Lian Min Min narrowed her eyes and spoke frankly.

 

The corner of Mu Xi Yao’s mouth twitched, the woman opposite was really not hesitating to speak at this important time.

Mu Xi Yao felt that it was the first time to enjoy such smooth communication in the backyard.

Usually, she could only speak openly with the Sixth Highness.

The rest of the women, including Lady Yu and Consort Shu, were polite, courteous, and spoke auspicious words, in fact, it was difficult for her to go around in circles when speaking.

 

“Cefei should not like this person.” According to He Lian Min Min’s observation in March, although Mu Xi Yao also competed for favour, and competed fiercely, she never harmed anyone’s life.

She can be considered upright, at least not heartless.

Such a woman, as long as one doesn’t irritate her, shouldn’t like to play tricks.

 

“It’s not that I dislike it, I just find it troublesome.” Mu Xi Yao answered bluntly and with a clear attitude.

 

It was inevitable that in a Prince’s Mansion people would compete for favour, and it was normal to use some means to win over men from time to time.

If a person who is neither hot nor cold, who has a dark temperament and likes to stare at everyone with a pair of gloomy eyes all day is around, Mu Xi Yao felt that the sky would become a bit dark and unbearable.

In this nice yard, it was better to not let enter such troublesome women.
