There were sixteen carriages lined up outside the huge Pei Mansion, and hundreds of boxes and cages filled the carriages.The servant next to Pei Zhan was waiting outside the gate with his hands down. When he saw her coming out, he hurried forward and said, "Madam...Miss Mu, you are afraid that the road will be unsafe, so you specifically asked me to take you home."

Mu Xuan looked at everything in front of her silently, not to mention the belongings in the cage, the camphor wood box for the utensils alone was also very valuable.She had mixed feelings in her heart. Pei Zhan was really generous to her as a second wife, but it was a pity that all this was not what she wanted.I thought she had completely let go, but when it was time to part, she still couldn't help but her eyes were wet.

When Mu Chengen and Liu Shi heard the news that Mu Xuan had been divorced and returned home, they were shocked, angry and ashamed. The younger daughter had just committed suicide, and the eldest daughter was abandoned by her husband's family. Where could he put his old face? Facing the pointing and pointing of the neighbors.

Unexpectedly, the Pei family was so generous, which was unheard of in Southern Chu.Even if the rich and powerful in Nanchu marry their daughters, they don't have so many dowries.Looking at the servants moving in and out of the courtyard, Mu Chengen and his wife were puzzled.Especially Liu Shi felt as if she had knocked over the five-flavored bottle. Seeing Pei Shi's mark on the cage, thinking of Pei Shi's style, and thinking of her deceased daughter Mu Qingqing, she sighed a long time in her heart.

After Mu Xuan returned home, she returned to her former boudoir, Lanxiangyuan.Lanxiang Garden is next to the main courtyard where her mother used to live. Because Mu Xuan loved orchids, the courtyard was once filled with all kinds of precious flowers and plants, and the fragrance is overflowing all year round.In spring, the flowers bloom one after another, creating a thriving scene.

But the current Lanxiangyuan is not what it used to be, and it looks a bit dilapidated due to neglect of the yard.Many of the once vibrant orchids in the courtyard have disappeared, and the few remaining pots of Clivia have also withered and turned yellow.

"Sister, you're finally back, you miss me to death." Qing Lan was still lively, and immediately came to Lanxiangyuan when she heard that Mu Xuan had returned home.

Mu Xuan was cleaning the weeds in the yard with Nanny Wu, and when she saw Qing Lan coming, she couldn't help but smile.Because he is the only boy in the family, he was doted on since he was a child, but now that the family has suddenly changed, he is still that innocent boy.

When Muxuan was born, Nanny Wu lived with her in this yard. Seeing that the quiet and elegant yard became overgrown with weeds, Nanny Wu felt distressed and couldn't help complaining, "Master and Madam are too indulgent." These servants are gone, and no one takes care of the good yard like this."

Qing Lan smiled nonchalantly, "There are so many houses in the family, and there are only two poor women who have to clean the yard, cook and boil water in the kitchen, how busy they are.

Mu Xuan and Nanny Wu looked at each other, both of them were taken aback.No wonder when I came back, the courtyard was deserted and the lively scene of people coming and going in the past was no longer there.The two only vaguely knew that the family's business was not as good as before, and they didn't expect it to fall like this.

With a dry grass in her mouth, Mu Qinglan squinted her eyes towards the sun and said, "Since last year, I don't know what kind of bad luck happened to the family. The business of the pharmacy and the restaurant suddenly stopped working. Finally, I took a job from the Ministry of Industry." My son, but he has been procrastinating on paying the bill. He owed a lot of labor costs, so his father had to pay for it himself. In the spring of this year, the restaurant and embroidery workshop could not continue to operate, so they had to close down. Now that the housewives are gone, only Two rough envoys. Outsiders laugh at our Mu family as an empty shell," Mu Qinglan laughed at herself, "Now apart from the old house left by my ancestors, there is really nothing valuable in the house. I think back when our Mu family was beautiful, there were mules and horses, and the yard was full of servants and maids, but now there is nothing in the blink of an eye."
