The housekeeper reminded: "Boss Shangmu, our master is still waiting for you in the living room." ”

Ignoring Ling Ling'er, Shang Mu Sijue followed the housekeeper to the hall.

She staggered in fear, his indifferent attitude frightened her, afraid that they would always get along like this in the future, afraid that he would forget the oath between them, the relationship between them and the companionship he had promised her for the rest of his life.

"How did this happen?" she said, covering her face in disbelief.

The maid on the side stomped her foot angrily, "Miss, I don't think this merchant Mu Sijue takes you seriously at all, why do you have to marry him?"

"I'm engaged to him, I'm her fiancée. Ling Ling'er emphasized.

"But Miss, you and he are only engaged, and after such a long time, he has no intention of marrying you. The maid said unfairly for her.

"But ......"

"Miss, there is nothing but, I think this Shang Mu Sijue is using the identity of Miss, and he doesn't like you at all!"

"Shut up, I don't want to hear such words in the future! I and Brother Si Jue's childhood sweethearts, does he like me, do you need to say it?" The maid accidentally said what she really thought in her heart, but she scolded her. How does a little maid know the relationship between her and Shang Mu Sijue?

In the hall, Old Man Ling stood there with his hands behind his back and looked up at the roof motionless. It wasn't until Shang Mu Sijue came that he slowly turned around, he was the same as before, with a good skin and a smart head.

"Father-in-law. He stumbled.

Master Ling snorted coldly, turned around and sat on the chair, "You came to know to visit my father-in-law?"

After Ling Ling'er got engaged to him, he called him father-in-law, and as for visiting, he only visited him once a year, that is, during the Chinese New Year. And today's sudden visit is not a holiday.

"Father-in-law, don't be angry, son-in-law, I am usually busy with work, and I want to give Ling'er a good life, so I put more thought into work. In order not to disgust him, he led the topic to Ling'er.

"It's okay if you don't mention Ling'er, as soon as you mention it, I'll be angry, our Ling'er owes you, she came home crying and crying, you don't come to apologize, forget it, after many days, you didn't come to pick her up and show your attitude. The more he spoke, the more angry he became, he gently covered his chest, and the butler immediately supported him and told him not to be angry.

Shang Mu Sijue expected such a thing, and knelt on his knees without saying a word, "Father-in-law, I'm sorry I did something wrong, I'm sorry Ling'er, I will solve the matter between me and her, don't be angry, come today, I have other things I want to ask for your help." ”

He snorted coldly, waved his hand to let the butler go down, and said, "Tell me something." ”

He got up and bowed his head, "There is a murder case in the jade field, and the investigation team in charge of this murder case has blocked the entire jade field, and it will not be unsealed until the case is resolved." ”

"It's normal, they all follow the procedure. He said calmly.

Of course, he knew that this time Shang Mu Sijue's sudden visit was not a sudden, there was an accident in the jade field, how could people walking around in the officialdom not know?

"I understand them, but no one can say for sure how long it will take a year and a half to solve a murder case, but every second in the business field is extremely precious, especially there are many industrial chains and many partners under my jade field, and they have cut off my way by doing so, father-in-law, I know what you told them, I want you to help me." "Shang Mu Sijue has already put down his body very much, except for Master Shang Mu, he has never been so quiet to anyone.

"Their affairs, they have their way of dealing with them, you have to be considerate of me, I can't help you anything. "Master Ling is very resolute, he doesn't plan to help him at all, even if he can really help.

"Father-in-law, you ......" What else did he want to say, Master Ling asked the housekeeper to send off the guest, and he also left, Shang Mu Sijue could only watch him go, and he couldn't do anything.

The housekeeper was just an outsider, and said to him without any expression: "Today, our master is not feeling well and is going to rest, Boss Shangmu, go back." ”

He looked at the housekeeper and sighed, go back, it's useless to stay here for a while, looking at Master Ling's appearance is that he is worried about the matter between Ling Ling'er and him, forget it, take one step at a time. If he doesn't help, he can also find someone else, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and he has never encountered anything that cannot be solved.

Out of the Ling Mansion, Shang Mu Sijue's mood was even lower, even Master Ling refused to help, who else could he go to, what he said in Yicheng was enough to deter those officials, and now that he doesn't make a move, I'm afraid that more people will watch his jokes behind his back.

It's just that he suffered, isn't he afraid of affecting his daughter? Shang Mu Sijue thought about coming back in two days, after all, he was Ling Ling'er's fiancé, no matter how much Master Ling hated him, it was impossible to see death without saving him, his jade field fell, and their Ling family would not get any benefits, he had a temper now, and he should figure it out after a long time.

Back at Shang Mou's Mansion, the three women in the study stood there silently, and as soon as Shang Mu Sijue came in, he saw Shang Mu Li's eyes with tears hanging on them.

His heart tightened, and he immediately stepped forward to her side, wiped away her tears with his hand, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Shang Muli looked at the materials of the broken jade ornaments on the ground, and shook his head aggrievedly, "Although these two maids are a little reckless, you shouldn't be too angry. ”

Only then did he notice that his jade ornament was shattered, his face was covered with a layer of haze, and his tone was very cold, "What's the matter?" he asked the two maids, who were so frightened that they couldn't say a word for a long time, and Shang Muli immediately knelt down in front of him, making him a little incomprehensible.

"Brother Si Jue, the two of them said that I was a nemesis, and I was a nemesis, and I was unintentional, don't blame them, they just don't know the truth, although it is a bit too much to throw me with jade, but they are still young and ignorant. As she spoke, tears flowed uncontrollably.

Listening to her words, the two maids were frightened, this woman really dared to say this to Shang Mu Sijue, and quickly kowtowed and explained: "No, it's not us, she's lying, this jade was obviously broken by you on purpose, and you blamed us?"

Shang Muli looked at them, took a step back in fear, and hid behind Shang Mu Sijue with a timid look in his eyes, his body trembled slightly, and through her hand holding his arm, he could clearly feel her fear.

Shang Mu Sijue was already anxious enough, these maids still dared to treat Xiaoli like this, Lei Ting was furious, and reprimanded them: "Don't think that I don't know that you used to be Ling'er's maids, you are dissatisfied with my management and can leave Shangmu Mansion, Xiaoli She is my guest, not the object of your anger." ”

"Master, no...... Listen to our explanation!" The maids were not convinced, Shang Mu Sijue really said what she said, and he didn't believe their maids' words at all.

"Get out of here, I don't want to see you for a second. Shang Mu Sijue's eyes were full of bloodshots, his voice was loud, and the tail was a little trembling, and the two girls ran out with tears in their eyes.

Shang Muli wiped his tears, helped him sit on a chair, half-knelt beside his lap, put his head on his thigh, and said softly: "Brother Si Jue, I'm sorry, I know you've been very tired for the past two days, and I still caused you such a thing." ”

Eyelashes trembled, Shang Mu Sijue came back to his senses, his eyes were full of love, he stroked her hair gently, his voice was soft, he had never said this to others, listening to the itching in her ears, "It's okay, don't take it to heart, those girls don't know what to do, they actually use their family to stimulate you." ”

The pain she has experienced, what do those maids know? The death of her father is still the biggest thorn in her heart, and she is painful every time she is mentioned. Shang Mu Sijue understood her pain, so he basically didn't mention the past, and that's it, those maids still dared to hurt her.

"Brother, I miss my father. She suddenly turned red in her eyes and said in a crying voice.

No longer caring about the affairs of Yuchang, Shang Mu Sijue helped her up and hugged her, so that she had a little sense of security, "Father is not here, eldest brother is like father, I will always be by your side." ”
