On the third day, Mu Lan's sedan chair arrived at Mu Wang Fu.
Mu Wangfu was quiet, the vermillion red door was locked, and no one came out to meet him, only the side door was opened.
Mu Lan did not feel surprised.
After the sedan chair landed, Butler Chen immediately came forward, personally set up the stool and helped Mu Lan out of the sedan chair.
"Miss, now that the old madam is seriously ill, the entire royal residence is chanting prayers for the old madam, so the royal residence is short on manpower, so the lackey will personally take you to the courtyard, do you think this is okay?" With every word, Butler Chen was careful, afraid of offending Mu Lan again if he was not careful.
Mu Lan smiled and didn't mind: ''No harm done.''
Butler Chen was relieved.
He followed Mu Lan step by step, from the side door into the Mu Wang Mansion, carefully introduced the layout of the Mu Wang Mansion and Mu Lan.
Mu Lan lowered his eyebrows and quietly listened.
"After your mother consort passed away, now the king's house is in charge of the side consort lady, the lady lives in the east pavilion, like quiet, weekdays when there is nothing to do do don't feel free to go to the east pavilion, to avoid unnecessary trouble. The other two side consorts and the king's concubines will live in this end of the west pavilion in order, the young lady lives in the south building, the young prince was enthroned as Yi county king, and was given the county king's mansion to live independently.''
Butler Chen's voice came slowly, in a subdued manner: ''As for the other young prince, although he wasn't enthroned, he was also independent after reaching adulthood, the king didn't ask about it, and the Lady Side Consort arranged for you to stay in the West Tower, which is closest to the ancestral hall of the king's house, and also the place where the old madam likes to stay the most, and the king explained that you have to be with the old madam anytime you want to be with her.''
......
Butler Chen went over every point in detail.
This was a treatment that had never existed in the previous life.
In the previous life, when she arrived at the royal residence, she had already been scared out of her wits, and Butler Chen directly had people just send her back to the West Building, and no one paid any attention to her.
Even the lackeys and maidservants who served her came a month later.
During this month, Mu Lan stumbled and made the side consort unusually dissatisfied with her, and didn't suffer a lot of chastisement, but at that time, Mu Lan carried a thankful heart and felt that it was her own fault.
Thinking about it now, huh?
Stupid to the extreme.
Mu Lan lowered his eyebrows, hiding the deep meaning, walking towards the west building.
What is the west building, as if it is the closest to the ancestral hall, but the west building is a demarcation point, the maids and lackeys of the royal family, all live in the west building.
The room reserved for Mu Lan, on the other hand, was just a far cry from the ancestral hall.
Seemingly very close, but not directly across, walking to the ancestral hall need to go around an entire royal residence, coupled with the unfamiliarity of the road, Mu Lan every day is late, naturally attracted the old madam anger, more and more dissatisfaction.
The end can be imagined.
And whose plot all this is, the discerning eye can see it.
She was the first daughter of Mu Wangfu, and everything Mu Zhiying had now should have belonged to her.
Regardless of the reason, she returned to Mu Wang Fu, the side consort naturally wary, afraid of any changes, can be the fastest speed to get rid of their own is the best plan.
Especially after Mu Zantian slaughtered thirty lives in the Gu Mansion, but still let Mu Lan escape.
Cutting off the roots and eliminating the roots was the Side Consort's best tactic.
Suddenly, Butler Chen, who was slowly explaining in front of him, immediately knelt down: ''Slave, see County King Yi, County King Yi is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old.''
Hehe.
It's really a narrow road for enemies to meet.
Mu Lan's spine is very straight, no intention at all to kneel down, even with a few points of lethargy, eyelids lifted, a little kneeling meaning are not.
Butler Chen was a bit anxious.
Mu Lan, however, appeared to be calm.
In her last life, she escaped, but did not recognize Mu Zantian's face, Mu Zantian was also here to block her, gave her a public lecture, and before arriving at the West Building, she had already been imprisoned, and it was not until the second day that anyone paid attention.
While Mu Zantian was innocent, thinking that Mu Lan was just an unruly subordinate.
This matter, and no one pleaded, passed.
Mu Lan was also completely reduced to a person in Mu Wangfu, even a big maid can be casually bullied.
But now
"How dare you see this County King and not even kneel down to ask for peace?" Mu Zhan Tian coldly and sternly looked at Mu Lan, and his voice followed suit.
After Mu Zhan Tian learned the news that Mu Lan had already arrived at the Mu Wang Mansion, he waited for Mu Lan on this necessary path.
Mu Zantian thought that he would see a panicked, dirty, and unseemly smelly girl, but he never expected that the Mu Lan who appeared in front of him would be the opposite.
That small clean face without powder, but enough to let the harem three thousand beauties eclipsed.
And then simple hair bun, casually pulled up, indifference seems to be the eyebrows, seemingly lazy, with infinite flavor, but in such eyes, Mu Zhantian actually saw a trace of unexpected cold.
Cold to the bone marrow.
Mu Zhantian was somewhat shocked, but he reacted quickly: "Come on people ah, give me a slap! Throw him to the firewood room to reflect!"
Butler Chen was also a bit startled: "County King Yi, this is..."
Mu Zhan Tian directly interrupted Butler Chen's words: "Butler Chen, if you don't bow when you see this Sheriff King, this Sheriff King is just teaching a lesson to the disobedient subordinates in the Royal Household, is that not enough? Besides, butler Chen is such a busy man, how does he have the time to personally bring a lackey around the royal residence?"
This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
And as Mu Zantian's words fell, the guard behind him directly stepped forward and raised his hand to slap Mu Lan.
The one who flew out was the guard who made the move!
Mu Lan's eyes grew colder and colder.
"County King Yi, in terms of seniority, shouldn't you greet me when you see me. After all, there can only be one first daughter in the Mu Wang residence, and that is the daughter born to the rightful consort. I can't change that fact even if I were to stray, just as King Yi County can't change the fact that he's the son of a side consort.''
Mu Lan coldly and calmly recounted a fact: ''It is an established fact that I, Mu Lan, have returned to the palace, and everyone in the royal residence knows about it, even if no one welcomes me. This slap down from County King Yi is not afraid of falling on deaf ears and saying that the side consort, this house, has other ideas?''
Mu Zantian's face changed again and again.
How he did not expect, in the Gu House that can not see the face of the place raised out of people, but can be good not timid, as if stepping over the bones of ten thousand people, step by step before walking on today's high position.
His palms gradually clenched into fists.
"This County King thought it was some lackey who didn't have eyes, but it turned out to be Mu Lan's sister who came back." Mu Zhan Tian's face did not change, "Then please rest well sister, this County King will not disturb."
After saying that, Mu Zhan Tian flung his sleeves and left.
His gloomy face never eased.
This was also the first time Mu Zhan Tian was disliked and could not say a word.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, Mu Zantian and the current Crown Prince are close, is the Crown Prince's beloved, coupled with the Emperor's favor to the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince's accession to the throne is a matter of days away, who sees Mu Zantian is not to give three points of thin face, seven points of courtesy, but only this Mu Lan.
From inside to outside, let Mu Zhantian lost face.
This Mu Lan, must be removed.
Butler Chen on the side of the calm face, has long been a strange face, the heart of the Mu Lan's view once again changed.
Indeed, a person who can face the corpses on the ground without changing his color, is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
Butler Chen subconsciously looked at Mu Lan.
There were thoughts in his mind.
This Mu Lan, I'm afraid, will cause a complete change in the pattern of Mu Wangfu.
Soon, Butler Chen's calm voice came, "Miss, you come with me."
"Thank you." Mu Lan turned into that well-informed and courteous lady of the world again and followed Butler Chen in the direction of the West Building.
Aye.
The entire Mu Wangfu family thought that the Gu family was just an ordinary merchant family, and that the people they taught were unlikely to be on the grand elegance, but Mu Lan was well aware of the true origins of the Gu couple.
Gu Yuanzhi, the head of the family, is the heir to the Ghost Hand, a superb medical skills, today's imperial physicians are difficult to match, but because the Ghost Hand was persecuted, Gu Yuanzhi no longer for people to see a doctor.
But because of the persecution of the Ghost Hand, Gu Yuanzhi no longer treats people. But this medical skill has been passed on to Mu Lan.
Mu Lan remembered, practicing medicine to save people, but not everyone has to be saved.
Gu Yuanzhi's wife, Li Ruolan, was the first embroidery heir in the world, but suffered a catastrophe, and the Li family's embroidery room also followed a complete decline.
The Li family is still out of the embroidery girl has been far from the former glory.
However, the skills of the Li family are something that the leading embroidery houses can never catch up with.
Mu Lan's childhood was spent in the midst of medicine and embroidery, and Gu's husband and wife demanded the strictest standards from Mu Lan when they raised their hands and threw their feet.
Mu Lan had naturally grown up to be a generous woman who could not be compared to ordinary women.
Now
Mu Lan's lowered brows hid her cruelty, quietly following Butler Chen, and after turning countless corners, she finally arrived at the West Building.
"Miss, this is your residence." Butler Chen carefully looked at Mu Lan and awkwardly opened his mouth, "If you need anything, just order the lackey, and the lackey will prepare it securely for you."
Mu Lan hmmmed, then looked at Butler Chen, "I'm new here and don't have much silver to reward Butler Chen, but I'll remember this favor, and I'll definitely return the favor."
The words clearly told Butler Chen that she, Mu Lan, was vindictive.
If you treat me well, I will treat you better, if you treat me evil, I will honor you.
Butler Chen immediately shook his head, "I wouldn't dare. I will find you someone to serve you."
Mu Lan nodded and quietly walked towards the west building.
Butler Chen also turned to command.
The west building was just like what Mu Lan had seen in her last life, empty and nothing, except for a bed to rest on, still covered in dust, not even a thin quilt.
In her last life, she was in such a place, after a whole month, before being known.
On the day she was known, Mu Lan was also almost beaten all over her body.
Just for being late to the Buddha Hall again.
Mu Lan looked at everything within the West Building, gently brushing his hand across the dust on the table, his fair skin was instantly darkened by the dust.
Mu Lan, however, stood motionless.
When the wind blew, the hem of her skirt fluttered, and the obviously downtrodden surroundings were permeated with a trace of condensed nobility, causing people to subconsciously stop in their tracks.
When Butler Chen came with Lotus Fragrance, this was the scene he saw.
He came back to his senses and immediately spoke, "Miss, this is Hexiang, from now on, she will be your personal maidservant."
Only then did Mu Lan slowly turn around, her cat pupils slightly dense with mist, looking at Lotus Heung who knelt down in front of her, and in her ears was the soft and sticky tone of voice that was more than familiar.
"Minion Huo Xiang, have seen Miss." Hexiang asked for peace.
Mu Lan walked step by step towards Huo Xiang, personally helping Huo Xiang up, her eyes falling on her body: ''Get up. In the future, you and I will support each other, if I have honor and glory, you will be rich and noble, if you are barren, I will not leave you."
It was so good that she could see Lotus Fragrance again.
In her last life, Mu Lan only saw Huo Xiang a month later, and Huo Xiang ended up being beaten to death with a stick in front of Mu Lan, who begged bitterly but was ignored.
Before she died, Hexiang also looked at Mu Lan: "Miss, you have to be good, Hexiang will go first."
Hexiang was the only person who was truly kind to Mu Lan when he entered the Mu Wangfu.
Now being able to see her again, Mu Lan's heart suppressed her excitement and watched in peace.
He Xiang was obviously a bit flattered, ''Nun thank you miss. Nun will definitely serve Miss well."
"Get up." Mu Lan spoke gently.
Hexiang immediately stood at Mu Lan's side.
Butler Chen was slightly stunned, he didn't seem to expect Mu Lan to release her kindness to He Xiang, but he didn't think too much about it, he coughed lightly before speaking awkwardly, "Miss, this house is a bit simple, I will have someone send what I need in a while, but I can't help with anything else."
"Thank you, butler Chen." Mu Lan nodded and did not make it more difficult.
Afterward, Butler Chen hurriedly left.
Lotus Fragrance was standing respectfully, and seemed to be speculating about Mu Lan as well.
Hexiang was an inferior maid in the Mu Mansion, unable to wait before the master, but now she was suddenly transferred to serve the Mu Mansion's young lady, which also made Hexiang somewhat flattered.
Even, she was personally arranged by Butler Chen.
It was only after arriving at the West Building that Lotus Heung was a little confused about the current situation.
In a place like the Mu Mansion, although it could not be compared to the palace, it was still a step-by-step, step-by-step situation, and if one wasn't careful, it was a matter of losing one's head.
"Hexiang." Suddenly, Mu Lan opened his mouth and called out to Lotus Fragrance.
Hexiang returned to her senses: "Miss, if you have any orders, just tell me."
"Relax." Mu Lan walked in front of Huo Xiang, gently looked at Huo Xiang, restrained all the sharpness, squeezed Huo Xiang's hand, "Follow me well, I won't let you suffer."
"Yes." Huo Xiang answered.
Mu Lan nodded, but did not explain much, after all, not everyone believes in such things as the reincarnation of life and death.
She let go of Huo Xiang's hand, and only then calmly spoke, ''Don't clean up here for the time being, butler Chen will have someone come over later to take care of it. You comb my hair, find a suitable dress, not too colorful, a bit plainer, and then come with me to see old madam.''
Hexiang didn't think too much about it, let alone ask too many questions, and immediately followed Mu Lan's instructions.
She found Mu Lan a plain color pair of jacket, fetched water, let Mu Lan wash her face, and then carefully combed Mu Lan's hair.
Mu Lan looked at herself in the bronze mirror, the slight marks on her face had already been covered up by the foundation, her bright features were eye-catching enough with a slight application of powder.
The person in the mirror, with a bit of shyness of a young girl, the depths of the eyes, but also rolling over the infinite flavor.
Obviously, she was in an extremely shabby place, but it didn't affect Mu Lan's temperament in the slightest, and a glance was unforgettable.
"Miss, you are so pretty." Lotus Heung couldn't help but speak.
Mu Lan smiled lowly, "Lotus Fragrance is also very good looking."
Lotus fragrance blushed a little.
Mu Lan didn't tease He Xiang any more, stood up, gesturing for He Xiang to lead the way, He Xiang thought for a moment, and spoke out bluntly: "Miss, the old madam only finished chanting at this hour, and was very tired when she came out, if you want to go, I'm afraid that the old madam will admonish you."
This is the truth.
The people of the Mu Mansion would never go to the old madam at this hour, the only ones accompanying the old madam were the two close-knit sisters, and disturbing the old madam's rest would result in being chastised and confined to the firewood room.
"Do you believe me?" Mu Lan looked at Huo Xiang and asked lightly.
Hexiang responded without thinking, "Believe, slave girl is Miss's person, naturally you should believe slave girl."
Mu Lan nodded, didn't say anything and quietly walked towards the outside of the west building.
Lotus fragrance didn't say anything and immediately followed, leading the way in front.
Mu Lan looked at this familiar road, she lowered her head and laughed derisively, hiding a viciousness in her lowered eyebrows.
This road, she had walked in the Mu Mansion for several years.
