Chapter 112: The Marquis’s Wife Faking Her Death (16)
Looking at the dilapidated mansion in front of him, which was completely different from the magnificent one he had imagined, Mu Ziyi was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses from the shock.
After coming to his senses, Mu Ziyi finally had to accept the dilapidated state that the Marquis' Mansion had become.
I don’t know what happened to Lan Xin?
Did you take good care of his mother?
Perhaps because he thought that his mother might not be living a good life, Mu Ziyi walked to the door of the dilapidated marquis' mansion a little anxiously, raised his hand and started knocking on the door.
"Oh!"
"Oh!"
"Oh!"
"..."
Mu Ziyi knocked several times in a row, but there was no response from inside the door. Just when Mu Ziyi's patience was about to run out and he was about to break down the door, an old voice sounded from inside the door!
"Who!"
Immediately afterwards...
Crunch!
The teeth-grinding sound of the door hinge turning was heard!
From the sound, you can tell that this door has not been opened for several years.
As the gate of the Marquis' Mansion opened, an old man with a limp appeared inside.
When Mu Ziyi saw the old man opening the door, he stepped forward with some excitement and greeted him, "Uncle Butler!"
At this time, Mu Ziyi was a little confused. When did the housekeeper of his mansion become the gatekeeper?
"You are......"
The old man who was the steward of the Marquis' Mansion mentioned by Mu Ziyi may have had a hard time living in recent years. He looked very old now and his eyes could hardly see people's faces clearly. Now, when looking at Mu Ziyi, he could only see a rough outline.
Mu Ziyi felt unhappy when he heard this. Although the old butler was the steward of their mansion, he was just a servant after all. It was unexpected that a servant didn't even recognize his own master.
However, considering that he had not been back for several years, Mu Ziyi did not want to argue with him for the time being. After taking a deep breath, he repeated, "Uncle Butler, I am Ziyi. Don't you remember me?"
"Ziyi?"
The butler was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he exclaimed in surprise, "My Lord, you are the Lord?"
As the butler was an important helper in Mu Ziyi's fake death, he naturally knew very well whether Mu Ziyi was really dead or not.
Now seeing Mu Ziyi, who had been dead for several years, standing in front of him, the old butler did not show the slightest surprise.
Mu Ziyi nodded when he heard this, "Yes."
The old housekeeper excitedly shook Mu Ziyi's hand, "That's great! Lord, you're finally back. It's good to be back! It's good to be back!"
Their mansion had been struggling to make ends meet for several days. Just when he was still considering what else could be sold in the mansion, he didn't expect the Marquis to come back at this time.
This is really great!
He no longer has to worry about food in the Marquis' Mansion every day when he opens his eyes!
"Well, I'm back!"
Seeing the old housekeeper's unusual excitement at his sudden return, Mu Ziyi didn't think much of it. After chatting with the old housekeeper for a few words, he asked, "Uncle housekeeper, how is my mother? Is she okay now?"
"Old lady?"
Hearing Mu Ziyi mention the old lady of the Marquis, the old housekeeper sighed heavily, "My Lord, you will know if you go to the backyard and see the old lady."
After the old butler finished speaking, he turned around and limped away without waiting for Mu Ziyi to say anything else.
"My mother..."
Mu Ziyi looked at the housekeeper's somewhat desolate and sad back, and inexplicably had a bad premonition.
at this time......
"What's wrong with you, sir?"
Lin Qingqing stood behind Mu Ziyi and couldn't help but speak to bring Mu Ziyi back to his senses.
Mu Ziyi turned around and looked at Lin Qingqing who was standing in front of him holding her son's hand. He smiled and said, "Nothing. Come on, I'll take you to the backyard to meet my mother first."
As Mu Ziyi spoke, he took Lin Qingqing's hand with one hand and Mu Mu's hand with the other and walked towards the backyard of the Marquis' Mansion.
