Chapter 147 Mu Mansion
Mu Mansion.
Everyone worked together to help the unconscious Madam Mu onto the couch, and Ye asked someone to call a doctor.
"Also, go to the government office to report to the master, and then go to the East Suburb Camp to inform the Second Master."
After thinking for a while, he ordered his servants, "Go to the school and bring back the young masters."
After all this, it was found that the eldest son of the Mu family who was working away from home could not be called back, but the other male members of the family were ready to be called back.
The first person to return home was Mu Junyue, the prefect of Cangwu County, who worked in the government office. His workplace was closest to his home.
Next are the three young masters who are studying in the school.
The eldest son Mu Qingli, the second son Mu Qingheng, and the third son Mu Qingyuan.
Mu Qingli and Mu Qingheng are both born to the eldest daughter of the Ye family. They are Mu Hanxue’s two younger brothers, one is 13 and the other is 8 years old.
The second son, Mu Qingheng and Mu Hanling, are twins, born to the second wife, Cai.
It was just that when Cai gave birth to the twins, she was injured and never had any more children after that.
However, Mu Xingming, the second son of the Mu family, did not have any other concubines, so he only had this pair of twins.
However, the eldest son of the Mu family, Mu Xingjian, has a concubine who follows him to the place where he takes office and takes care of his daily life.
Also going with them was a child of the concubine, who was two years younger than the twin brother and sister and was only 10 years old this year.
It was already 1:00 p.m. when Mu Xingming got home.
Old Madam Mu had woken up a long time ago and was now sobbing, her eyes swollen like walnuts.
Mu Xingming was shocked when he saw this.
Without even having the chance to greet Mr. Mu, he knelt in front of Mrs. Mu.
"Mother, the child is back."
When Madam Mu saw her second son, she became excited again.
"Second brother, you're back. Come on, take me away, take me away quickly."
Mu Xingming hurried forward to support Old Madam Mu, horrified.
She looked up at Mu Junyue. Could it be that her father was too shameless to think of taking a concubine at such an old age, which made her mother angry? Was he going to run away from home?
But my father had only one concubine for all these years, and I heard that she died of illness before they were born. He never took another concubine since then.
Now, my father is already old, he shouldn’t have such thoughts.
Could it be that some shameless vixen came after me, and my dad didn't handle it properly, so my mom found out? That's why I'm so heartbroken?
He immediately looked at his father with eyes full of dissatisfaction.
But as a son, he didn't dare to question his father and could only comfort Madam Mu.
"Mother, where can we go? Forget it. Father is wrong in this matter. I will definitely persuade him."
"Wow, it's your father who is wrong. If it weren't for him, Awan wouldn't have been lost, and your second sister wouldn't have been lost either."
Mu Xingming was stunned. Second sister?
It turned out that my mother had thought of my second sister again, not that my father was having an affair outside.
He immediately looked at his father with eyes full of guilt. He had just wronged his father.
Mu Junyue was confused by Mu Xingming's look of blame and guilt. But he couldn't care less at the moment and had to comfort his wife first.
"Please try to persuade your mother."
Mu Xingming frowned, "Father, why would Mother think of my second sister for no reason?"
Mu Junyue sighed deeply and said in a deep voice, "Today, your eldest sister and a few others went to the Seven Stars Tower for dinner and met a lady who looked very similar to your eldest sister. After your mother heard this, she thought that this person was your second sister who had been lost since childhood."
Mu Xingming was stunned. "How could such a coincidence happen?"
Madam Mu held his hand tightly and cried, "Second brother, that lady must be your second sister. It must be her, otherwise there wouldn't be someone in the world who looks so similar."
"Second brother, can you take me to find her? They won't let me out."
Mu Ming hurriedly comforted her, "Mother, it's getting late today. I'll send someone to inquire about the lady's situation first. I'll take you to the Seven Stars Tower tomorrow."
Madam Mu tried to open her red and swollen eyes and looked at the sky outside. Seeing that it was indeed dark, she had no choice but to ask Mu Xingming to promise,
"Promise to take me to see your second sister tomorrow."
Mu Xingming hurriedly promised, "Mother, I promise. But you also have to promise me that you will have a good rest tonight."
"Okay, okay, I'll go rest now."
"You haven't had your meal yet, so you should eat something first and then rest." said Mrs. Cai, the second wife of the Mu family.
Madam Mu wanted to refuse, but suddenly realized that no one seemed to have eaten yet, so she nodded and agreed.
No one at the Mu family had any appetite for the meal. They all took a few quick bites and put down their bowls and chopsticks.
After Madam Mu rested, the others gathered in the main hall and talked about the second young lady of the Mu family.
"Azi also has a twin sister, but when she was just born, she was thrown away by a slave girl in the Jia family." Mu Junyue said in a deep voice.
In fact, it was not a slave girl who lost the child, but a concubine he had taken in at the time who was jealous of Madam Mu for giving birth to two children at once, so she had vicious thoughts.
Although the truth was uncovered later and the concubine was beaten to death with sticks, the child was never found.
At that time, he was just a small county magistrate in Fuchuan County.
I heard from the concubine that the child was thrown on a mountain. Later, a large number of people were sent but they couldn't find the child.
There are many ferocious beasts in the mountains and few people. Such a young child is probably in great danger.
But they were unwilling to give up and had been asking around over the years, especially around Fuchuan County, but to no avail.
"Dad, why have I never heard you talk about this before?" Mu Jinzi asked.
Mu Junyue sighed, "Alas, this matter is like a thorn in my side. Telling you about it will only add to your sadness. However, your two younger brothers know about this."
Mu Xingming nodded, "Yes, it was only after my elder brother and I became adults that our parents told us to send someone to look for our second sister."
The others suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he did not show any surprise when the old lady said she was looking for someone.
"Father, have you sent anyone to the Seven Star Tower to investigate that lady? Is she really our second sister?" Mu Xingming asked.
"When I got home and heard about this, I sent someone to investigate."
"How?" Mu Xingming asked anxiously.
Mu Junyue shook his head, "Not back yet."
Seven Star Tower.
Yun Xi's two siblings, Ying Tianchen, Yun Huaian, and Fang Yuan were meeting in a tea room on the second floor of the backyard.
Everyone else had already gone home.
After a while of crackling, it finally quieted down.
Yun Huaian smiled and spoke first, "Today's sales of the pastry shop totaled 4265 taels."
"So many?" Yun Yan exclaimed.
Yun Huaian was a little proud, "Yes, that's all."
Yun Xi nodded. Today, more lotus cakes and peach blossom cakes were made than during the trial operation. These two kinds of cakes are expensive and account for the majority of the sales.
"Uncle, follow this quantity for the first three days of opening. In the future, you need to control the quantity of lotus cakes and peach blossom cakes."
"Understood. I'll listen to you, Xi girl."
After Yun Huaian finished reporting on the situation at the pastry shop, Yuan Fang went on to talk about the Seven Star Tower.
"Today, more people came to apply for cards and order food. Today, 40 gold cards and 200 silver cards were released, and all of them have been processed."
"The total income from this card is 60 taels."
"hiss--"
As soon as Fang Yuan finished speaking, there was a sound of gasps in the tea room.
