After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

"For fame and fortune, for power and status, for the third prince to ascend the throne in the future, I can be famous all over the world. Is there anything difficult to understand about this?" Mu Feng lowered his eyes and spoke in a normal tone.

"Although I didn't have much contact with senior brother in the past, I always feel that senior brother is not a person who is trapped in fame and wealth." Chu Huanyan looked at Mu Feng, "And senior brother should also understand that the third prince is not the master of the Ming Dynasty. . No matter what your goal is, can it really be achieved only by staying with the Third Prince?"

Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer people supporting Xiao Rongxuan in the court. Mu Feng certainly understood the situation, but still chose to stay with Xiao Rongxuan.

If you really are a wise master and stick with him till the end, that's all. But Xiao Rongxuan is obviously not a kind person, so why does Mu Feng keep following him?

Mu Feng raised his eyes and looked at Chu Huanyan, and after a long time he smiled and said: "Junior sister is right, I do have my own purpose, but no matter what the purpose is, since I have chosen Xiao Rongxuan, I will not change the family easily. plan. Even if I didn’t act according to the Third Prince’s wishes today, it was just because of my judgment of the situation. If Junior Sister wants to take advantage of the opportunity to win over, I’m afraid it will be in vain.”

Their eyes met, Mu Feng stared calmly into Chu Huanyan's gaze, and there was no concealment or deception in his eyes.

Chu Huanyan was silent for a long time, then slowly looked away and said with unclear meaning, "That's such a pity."

After the words completely fell, Chu Huanyan spoke again: "Since senior brother appears here today, apart from disobeying the third prince's wishes, he probably has something else to say."

"Junior sister, my wife has gone."

"What?" Chu Huanyan was suddenly startled, and raised her head to look at Mu Feng in disbelief, somewhat doubting that she heard correctly.

"I only received the news two days ago. While Master and Master were traveling around, Master was seriously ill. Coincidentally with the unusual weather situation some time ago, Master was seriously ill and could not survive it." Mu Feng looked solemn.

"Since the master and his wife are traveling abroad, how did you get the news?"

"Although I came to the Imperial City, I have been secretly sending people to inquire about the master and his wife. Until some time ago, I learned of their whereabouts and sent someone to deliver a letter. But I didn't expect that when I received the reply, I got The news is that the master’s wife has gone.”

Mu Feng sighed and looked at Chu Huanyan.

"Although you and I are in hostile camps now, we have the same friendship after all. In the past, my wife loved you the most, so I thought I would tell you the news."

Chu Huanyan was stunned in place. After a moment of confusion, she couldn't help but feel a strong sour feeling in her heart.

Things that had long been blurred in her memory resurfaced before her eyes. In fact, she couldn't even remember the face of her master's wife. But at this moment, she couldn't help but feel sour and heavy in her heart, and her heart dropped heavily.

In her last life, she never saw her master or mistress again until her death. I originally thought that I might have a chance to see each other again in this life, but I didn't expect...

"What about Master? Master, is he okay?" Chu Huanyan looked at Mu Feng and asked.

"You also know the relationship between Master and Mistress. Now that Master has passed away suddenly, Master is naturally very sad. I read the news he sent, and there is a sense of despair in every word. I just hope... that he can take care of his health. , come out as soon as possible."

Chu Huanyan was silent for a moment, looked at Mu Feng and asked, "Can I read the letter?"

Mu Feng nodded, took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Chu Huanyan.

Chu Huanyan read it word by word. In fact, she didn't remember much about her master's handwriting. She only remembered the iron strokes and silver hooks and the graceful writing style. But now when she looked at every word on the letter, what came to her mind was weakness and decline.

"Where are master and master now?"

"The person who sent the letter said that after the master handed the letter to him, he took the master's wife's coffin and left. Perhaps he wanted to take the master's wife back to his hometown for burial."

Mu Feng walked up to Chu Huanyan and reached out to take the letter in her hand.

"You should still remember where Master's hometown is, but now that I'm under the command of the Third Prince, my movements are restricted and I don't have time to go to pay homage for the time being. If you want to go, remember to give Master a good advice and let him express his condolences. , the dead are gone, the living must live well."

After folding the letter, he put it back into his sleeves. When leaving, Mu Feng glanced at Chu Huanyan again.

"Today I didn't completely plot against you. It wasn't actually because of my feelings as a disciple. It was just that I didn't expect it to succeed, so I didn't need to waste my efforts. Therefore, you don't have to be soft-hearted in the future. Since we are already enemies, let's each rely on our abilities. "

After saying that, Mu Feng walked to the door, raised his hand and knocked on the door three times.

Soon, the sound of unlocking was heard from outside the door, and Mu Feng left.

Xianyue was worried that they would lock the door again. When Mu Feng left, he immediately blocked the door with quick eyes and hands.

However, the servants didn't seem to have any intention of locking the door anymore. They just glanced at Chu Huanyan and then quickly left the side courtyard.

"Miss, are you okay?" Xian Yue looked at Chu Huanyan who was still sitting where she was, and for a moment she didn't know how to comfort her.

"I'm fine." Chu Huanyan stood up, "I just feel a little sudden and dazed."

"Miss, people cannot be resurrected, so don't be too sad. If you want to see them, I will accompany you."

Chu Huanyan didn't speak, but stood in the room for a while before walking out with Xian Yue.

Because her heart was heavy, Chu Huanyan was too lazy to talk to Chu Huaishan and walked directly towards the door of the mansion with Xian Yue.

When they reached the front yard, Chu Huaishan on the other side got the news and hurried over to stop the person.

"You, you..." Chu Huaishan looked at the good-looking Chu Huanyan, and his expression was extremely complicated for a moment.

"How much money did the second uncle get?" Chu Huanyan stopped and asked.

"What money? I don't know what you are talking about." Chu Huaishan avoided Chu Huanyan's gaze.

For a total of 20,000 taels of silver, I just had to follow their arrangements and plans. It was really a good deal.

He just sent someone to temporarily lock up Chu Huanyan. As for what happened, it was none of his business. And after all, he was out of respect for his elders. If he really wanted to pursue the case, someone would naturally stand in his way.

Chu Huanyan sighed, shook her head and said, "How could my second uncle be so stupid just for some money?"

"Presumptuous! I, I am your second uncle after all, how can you be so rude with your words, and..."

"I just said it in a harsh way. If my second uncle is dissatisfied, why don't I ask the Crown Prince to come and talk to you?" Chu Huanyan interrupted Chu Huaishan.

The latter's words suddenly choked in his throat, and he frowned at Chu Huanyan, "Don't scare me with the prince. I didn't do anything at all. I just locked you up temporarily according to the old prince's wishes. What evidence do you have to prove it?" Did I do anything else?”

Seeing Chu Huaishan's serious face, Chu Huanyan smiled and said, "Second uncle, you still don't know Xiao Jinzhi well enough, and you don't know me well enough either."

Chu Huanyan retracted her gaze and continued to leave, turning her back to Chu Huaishan and saying something.

"Second uncle, go meet your backer. Maybe he can save you."
