    It was already late when Mu Xiangqing arrived at Mu Mansion, and it was already past dinner time when she left Longcui Courtyard. She went back to Chenxi Pavilion for dinner, and then went to Qixia Garden.

    "Auntie is here." Huaxi put on her clothes and got out of bed to welcome Mu Xiangqing and sit in the room.

    "You don't feel well, go back to bed and lie down." Mu Xiangqing watched Hua Xi go to bed and lay down, tucked in the quilt, and asked, "As soon as I walked in, I heard from my second sister-in-law that you were sick a few days ago.  , have you felt better these past two days?"

    Hua Xi nodded and said: "Much better. How many days will my aunt stay in the house this time?"

    "We will leave after the death anniversary of the old Marquis. Brother Xuan and Brother Lin are also here. Brother Lin was clamoring to come see you just now. That skinny monkey is much more difficult to take care of than Brother Xuan when he was a child. I think it's getting late.  I'm afraid I'll disturb you, so I'll ask the wet nurse to come over to see you tomorrow."

    Hearing Mu Xiangqing complain about his son, Huaxi smiled, and then said helplessly: "I missed him after not seeing him for a few days. However, I am sick now, so it is best not to see him, so as not to get over the illness.  "

    "Brother Lin, I just want you and Xiuyuan to be quiet for a while." Mu Xiangqing mentioned Xiuyuan's name specifically and glanced at Huaxi. Seeing that she had no special reaction, he sighed in his heart, fearing that Xiuyuan was wishful thinking.

    "Hua Xi, Xiu Yuan was drunk this afternoon Last time at my house, I saw Xiu Yuan sending you here"

    Before Mu Xiangqing finished speaking, Huaxi understood.

    "Aunt, ever since my second uncle took me back to Mu's house, I have always regarded my third brother as my biological brother."

    Mu Xiangqing saw that Hua Xi didn't hesitate at all, and sighed: "Hey, I understand. I have also heard about the rumors in the house, and it is rare for you to think so openly. This calm demeanor is not something ordinary people can match. No wonder Brother Yuan  I'll be tempted for a while. Although Brother Yuan is gentler than Brother Xuan, he also has a stubborn streak in his heart. I'm afraid he won't be able to think about it"

    "Aunt, there are a lot of people in the house talking, and there are a lot of disputes. She fell into the water some time ago, which made the whole house restless. Huaxi feels guilty, and now she wants to find a place to rest in the house for a while After all, my mother left long ago.  No, this is not my home either"

    She wanted to leave the house, but she didn't expect to run into Mu Xiuyuan's case. Now Mu Xiangqing came to test her, probably with the same intention. If it was as she expected, Mu Xiangqing would definitely agree to help her.

    Mu Xiangqing was greatly surprised. Liu's words revealed that she wanted Hua Xili to leave the house for a while. She also agreed, but she didn't expect Hua Xi to think the same way, so she said: "You are such a considerate kid. Those bad things  has made you lose a lot of weight. Don¡¯t worry, your aunt is here. If you really want to live out of the house for a while, why not come to my house? There are not many people in my house, and there are no people like this in my house.  Excuse me, there is still an empty wing in the backyard, if you go there you can help me take care of Brother Lin."

    Huaxi really wants to leave the Mu family, and it¡¯s not just a temporary escape. It¡¯s best to stop the Mu family from thinking about a talent like her.  If you live in the Cheng family, you can live there for a while at first, but it's not a long-term solution.  However, it was better to go out than to be stuck in a panic now. Coupled with Mu Xiuyuan's confession, she was more determined to leave the house first.

    Huaxi thought for a while, "I know that my aunt really cares about me. My aunt wants to take Huaxi over, and Huaxi is really grateful. To tell the truth to my aunt, I don't want to stay in this house anymore. The Yufu incident just happened, and everyone spread it  I am destined by God Regardless of whether this is true or not, just looking at the faces of the people in the house these days, Huaxi's heart has become cold. It is common for the old lady and the eldest lady  ¡­¡±

    Huaxi hesitated to speak, but Mu Xiangqing also understood the meaning of her words. He just heard the women talking privately outside the door, saying that Huaxi had caused her to lose her monthly salary, and was looked down upon even when she went out.  She knew the connection as soon as she heard it. Those slaves were doing something secretly. How could the sisters-in-law not know about it? It was also because of taboos in their hearts that they turned a blind eye.

    As soon as Mu Xiangqing was distracted, he heard Huaxi sigh quietly: "Huaxi's fate is not good I don't want to cause trouble for my aunt."

    Huaxi was leaning on the bed, and the soft light from the palace lantern at the corner of the bed shone slantingly, illuminating the side of her face through the gauze curtain. Although her face was half-hidden in the darkness, the sparkle in the corners of her eyes and the lonely look between her eyebrows could be seen  You can see clearly.

    Mu Xiangqing took a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of Huaxi's eyes, "Silly boy, don't think blindly. Once the filial piety period is over, my aunt will take you to live with the Cheng family for a while."

    "Well, Huaxi will listen to you."

    Seeing Huaxi's pitiful appearance, Mu Xiangqing felt even more distressed, "Don't cry anymore. It's your birthday tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow is the death anniversary of the old Marquis. I'm afraid my aunt won't be able to congratulate you. I got a piece of Nanyang a few days ago.  I'll have the tooth carving brought to you tomorrow, as a token of my aunt's gratitude."

    "It's hard to be a girlMom still remembers that Huaxi thanked her aunt first.  "

    "Okay, you should rest early. I'm going back to Chenxi Pavilion first."

    After Mu Xiangqing left, Huaxi asked Cuiming to send him off. At this moment, he called Muxi in to ask, "Did you find out what you said last night?"

    Muxi nodded and whispered: "Yes, I have found out clearly. The person Sanfang met is still somewhat famous among the female relatives in various houses in the capital. She is from Baiyun Temple in the west of the city, and her Taoist name is Jingzhai. The old lady doesn't like female nuns very much.  , the third lady usually does not go to the house to invite people, but she goes to the temple every month to sit there. Today the third lady invited people to come to the house, but she did not see the old lady, so she sat in the third room for a while and then left.  Girl, what are you asking this man for?"

    Hua Xi closed her eyes and thought for a while, "Go to the third room tomorrow and ask the maid you know well. How much sesame oil should be added to burn the yellow meter and light the long lamp in Baiyun Temple?"

    Mu Xi blinked her eyes and asked: "Didn't the girl light the everlasting lantern at Puji Temple? How"

    Hua Xi curled her lips, "If people from Xu Sanfang catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits, why don't I be allowed to ask for amulets to save my life? If I don't ask, how can I show that I feel guilty You have been with me for so long and you still can't see what I'm thinking, girl? I'll still do it in the future  How can I take you out of the house?"

    Mu Xi was stunned, "Girl, do you really want to leave the house?"

    Hua Xi raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why don't you want to go out with me?"

    Muxi shook her head fiercely, "Yes, how can you not want to? I remember what the girl said, and I will follow the girl all the way But can the old madam and the others allow you to go out?"

    Hua Xi laughed at himself, "What if I don't agree? I don't want to be given as a gift. Although my aunt agreed to take me out, I am still a little worried. It is better to keep some things in mind. If it doesn't work, I have to think of other ways.  Let them agree"

    The second day, April 15th, is Huaxi¡¯s fourteenth birthday.

    Huaxi got a pair of jade hairpins when she went to pay her respects to the old lady.  Yun Lin and Yun Ning also sent birthday gifts.  The nanny came to Qixia Garden with Brother Lin in her arms. By the way, she brought the gift that Mu Xiangqing mentioned last night. It was an ivory carving of a butterfly playing with flowers, vines and vines, and a butterfly playing among the flowers. The carving was exquisite. Huaxi liked it.  .

    Seeing that Huaxi was focused on looking at the tooth carving and not paying attention to him, Brother Lin groaned twice and insisted on climbing up the table to pull Huaxi's sleeves.  Huaxi was so disturbed by her little ancestor that she couldn't take a closer look. She asked Cuiming to put it away first, and then took Brother Lin to play in the bamboo forest in the back garden.  After playing for half an hour, Brother Lin fell asleep in Huaxi's arms.  Hua Xi asked the nanny to carry Brother Lin into her room to rest.

    Just after returning to the house and changing clothes, Cui Ming came in holding a box and said: "The attendant of Lanbo Pavilion came over and said he would give the girl a birthday gift. The servant said you were taking Brother Lin to play in the backyard, so she put down her things and left.  .¡±

    Huaxi took the box and opened it and took a look. They were two volumes of essays by Du Zhong, a poet from the previous dynasty. From the yellowed and slightly wrinkled cover, you could tell that the book was old.  Holding those two thin old books, Hua Xi felt extremely heavy.  After flipping through two pages, Huaxi put them back into the box, closed the lid, sighed, and casually said to himself that he really went to get them.

    Hua Xi pushed it to Cuiming casually, "Put it away."

    After a while, Mu Xiangqing came.

    "Auntie, didn't you mean to help the eldest lady and the others prepare today? Why did you have time to come here?"

    As soon as Mu Xiangqing sat down, he said: "Today, I told the old lady that you were feeling better and wanted you to accompany me back to Cheng's house to stay for a while. But the old lady didn't agree and said that you were not suitable for a different place to live. She also said  Brother Lin is young and is afraid that he will be sick" I just made sure yesterday that I would take Huaxi out, and my second sister-in-law also knew about it.  If the old lady blocks it, things will become difficult.

    The Huaxi secret passage is indeed not that easy.  The old lady most likely wants to keep me in her hands because of Princess Luoxi, but if nothing happens in the future, my situation in the house will only become more difficult.  This requires some strong medicine.

    Huaxi looked sad and said, "Aunt, you'd better take Brother Lin back later. In the morning, the eldest lady sent someone to say that I was inconvenient and told me that I didn't need to go to the ceremony tomorrow. Huaxi was still there  I wanted to kowtow three times to my grandfather, but now"

    "Hey, my father will definitely appreciate your kindness. My aunt will think of something later."

    Hua Xi bit her lip and asked softly: "I wonder if my aunt has ever heard of Master Jingzhai at Baiyun Temple in the west of the city?"

    Mu Xiangqing nodded and said, "I've met you twice, but we don't have any deep friendship. I never believed in that."

    "I also thought that I knew my aunt and could introduce her to Huaxi. I heard that Master Jingzhai was very good at Taoism, and the third lady often asked her to calculate the number for doing rituals, such as burning yellow watches and so on. She said it was very effective. I, I was thinking about it.  I¡¯m also going to look for that master¡¯s wife and ask me for a talisman to suppress evil spirits. How about reading the fortune chart to see if it¡¯s really what the rumors say? If it¡¯s true, is there any way to resolve it?¡±

    Huaxi was talking to herself. When Mu Xiangqing heard about the horoscope, he suddenly had an idea in his heart. Although it was not a good idea, it hit the other people's mind and was not harmful to Huaxi. It could also fulfill the second sister-in-law's wish.  Confession of things, the best of both worlds.

    Mu Xiangqing whispered a few words to Huaxi.  Upon hearing this, Huaxi's eyes flashed, and then she nodded in agreement, "Then it's up to my aunt."

    "If you don't mention it, I really can't think of this method. Just wait at the house for a few more days, and I will pick you up then." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)That way?  If it is true, I wonder if there is a way to resolve it?  "
