Chapter 126 (1/2)

In the dark, her white fingers rubbed the delicate embroidery stitches on the pillow, and the only warmth in her heart had disappeared with the death of old lady Yu.

Mu's family, as well as the whole jade mansion, will pay the price for what they have done!

There was no sound in the room for a long time. Hemerocallis and ling'er, who had been guarding the midnight outside, were more and more frightened. Seeing that it was nearly four o'clock, ling'er finally couldn't stand it and quietly lifted up the curtain to look at the inner room.

The slender figure was still sitting on the couch, motionless, and the oil lamp had not been lit. Ling'er wanted to enter the room, but was afraid of being scolded by Yu Linglong. When she was in a dilemma, Yu Linglong suddenly opened her mouth.

”Ling'er, go find me something.”

General Yu didn't show much sadness about the death of old lady Yu. Only when he came back drunk from the Tibetan spring square that day, he could howl a few times. Then he couldn't resist the heavy intoxication and fell asleep.

The death of the old lady Yu gave general Yu and Mu another reason to make a big fuss. Now, it is a certainty that gantaifu and Yu's family get married. All of them are eager to offer hospitality to the general Yu and his wife, hoping to curry favor with the future Gan family.

Therefore, although general Yu and Mu's family were dressed in clothes, they could not hide their complacency. General Yu was invited to drink wine from time to time, and returned home drunk every day. Mu finally got rid of her mother-in-law, who had been so obnoxious for many years, and regained the power of the jade Mansion by the reason of funeral. Therefore, although she was very sad on her face, her eyes and eyebrows were full of contentment.

Jade Linglong quietly looked at two people, such as playing monkey, busy all day, surprisingly no response.

And Mu Shi, after a few days of uneasiness, saw that no one had any movement, he completely put down his heart.

In the jade mansion, General Yu was careless and impetuous, and would not pay attention to these small details. Other people were not worried. Only Yu Linglong was Mu's big trouble.

Seeing that even Yu Linglong has no objection to the death of old lady Yu, Mu's heart is even more proud.

But she is a little commoner girl. Maybe her fists are more powerful, but she is not her opponent if she wants to fight heart and mind!

After finishing the funeral of the old lady Yu, Mu lived happily with the money he had collected and received it in his dressing box.

If I had known that I could receive so much gift money, I would have liked that old woman who was in the way of eyes to die early!

Mu Shi worked hard for several days. Now she was exhausted both physically and mentally. She ordered Shuangtao to light the soothing fragrance, and she soon fell asleep.

Shuangtao serves Mu Shi to sleep, and then stealthily walks to the bed on the bed, ready to rest.

Before she could sit down, she suddenly heard a light footstep outside the window. She could not help but wonder, who would come at this time?

In order not to wake Mu Shi, she walked to the window and asked in a low voice, ”who?”

Outside the sound disappeared, only the evening wind, blowing the rustle of leaves, no one.

Shuangtao looked for a moment, but could not see anything.

She turned back in bewilderment. Just as she was about to turn around, she suddenly heard a clang, which was particularly harsh in the middle of the night.

Shuangtao is startled, but she sees a cat scurrying off the window sill. It turns out that the cat has fallen off the flowerpot and escaped in shock.

Shuangtao shook her head and closed the window gently.

She did not notice that a ghostly shadow had appeared behind her at some time, standing quietly behind her.
