Chapter 148: Not All Truths Are Beautiful
The night Mu Chenghuang left, Shen Ke didn't sleep well all night, and Lin Guanlan couldn't sleep over and over, but in addition to Mu Chenghuang, he also had to worry about the elusive Mu Qinyi, what Mu Qinyi said about setting fire to save people, sure enough, the news came the next day, the night before, the prison caught fire, and the three thousand dragon and tiger riders imprisoned in the prison evaporated like the world.

The place of the prison is limited, and it can only accommodate a few thousand prisoners at most, but Mu Yuanan has always had lingering fears about the dragon and tiger cavalry, if the dragon and tiger cavalry are imprisoned in other places, he always feels that he is not reliable in the prison, and the three layers outside the prison are three layers in the inner prison, and it is directly underground, and the layers of checkpoints are the most solid places in his opinion.
Mu Yuanan transferred more than 100 criminals who were originally in the prison to other places, and vacated the spare cells to detain the dragon and tiger horses, and since these 3,000 people entered the prison, the guards of the prison have only increased, and the entire prison is so solid that not even a single mosquito can fly in.
But it was so easy to catch fire, and it was so easy to make three thousand people disappear without a trace, Mu Yuanan learned the news this morning, the fire was lit in the third watch, and when he arrived at Mu Yuanan, the fire had not been completely extinguished, Mu Yuanan was dressing up in Jiahe Xuan and preparing to go to court, knowing the news, he directly broke the jade crown in the hand of the palace maid.
In the court, he also had a great temper, in the past, Lin Shangshu could have come back when the time came, and occasionally stayed up late, but he would also send someone back to the house to inform him, but today, not only did he have no news at all, but the people sent by the Lin family to the palace to inquire were also stopped outside.
Mrs. Lin was anxious, Shen Ke kept talking to her mother-in-law, wanting her to relax, Lin Guanlan would come over from time to time to greet her, and more often, she was trying to ask for news in the palace, but until the evening, she still found nothing.
Mrs. Lin looked at Shen Ke for a day and was tired, although she accompanied her, but Wu San kept coming over to ask Shen Ke about those things in the shop, and it can't be said that Wu San has no ability, but now Shen Ke's shop has to open a semicolon, and many things must go through her hands in person.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Mrs. Lin patted Shen Ke's hand and asked her to go back and rest for a while: "Good boy, I heard that you didn't sleep all night last night, and your body and bones can't be tossed like this, I'm fine now, the emperor is often angry, and the old man was like this before, it will be fine, everyone relax." ”
Shen Ke was a little hesitant, she had also promised Lin Guanlan that she would always accompany Mrs. Lin, she knew that Lin Guanlan had always cherished her mother because of her aunt's affairs, and she always felt that it was not good to leave by herself.
Seeing her hesitating, Mrs. Lin said again: "Okay, I'm also such a big person, I won't be fine if I stay alone, besides, I'm not alone, so many maids, what can I think of?"
Shen Ke wanted to continue to insist on staying, but saw that Wu San had already urgently beckoned her at the door for the fourth time, so he just got up and said, "That mother is so good at taking care of herself, don't think about it too much, send someone to my yard to call me at any time if there is something, I will come as soon as possible." ”
Mrs. Lin nodded kindly and said, "Okay, I know that you are filial and sensible, go back and rest." Shen Ke left Mrs. Lin's yard, that is, walked towards her own yard, her spine has always been in severe pain recently, and she will hurry up when she walks**neck, and Peony will occasionally make some herbs for Shen Ke, but it will not help.
After turning the corridor, Shen Ke walked to the door of his courtyard and heard two little maids talking in front of him, and his tone was a little flattering, as if he was currying favor with another person.
"Sister Xiaocui, you were originally a first-class maid in the young master's room, and now you are also here to do rough work with us, are you here to inspect?"
Xiao Cui didn't speak, but a rough envoy next to her said: "What is the inspection? You have marked, in the future, Xiao Cui will be the same as you, she is a sprinkler in this outer courtyard, what is not the same as the first-class, now, she is a third-class maid." ”
As soon as these words came out, the two maids with big shoulders and round waists who were still complimenting were stunned, and one of them cautiously asked the grandmother: "Mama, this is not a joke, Sister Xiaocui has served the young master for many years, and she has not made a mistake, how can she say that there is no merit and hard work, why was she suddenly punished to this outer courtyard? And this Sister Xiaocui has fine skin and tender meat, I am afraid, I am afraid that she can't hold such a rough broom." ”
"If you can't hold it, you have to hold it. The grandmother yelled at Xiao Cui in a rough voice, and then stuffed the bamboo broom in the hands of the two little maids into Xiao Cui's hand, this bamboo broom is several bundles of dried bamboo branches tied together, fixed with fine hemp rope, and there are barbs left by those bamboos after drying, Xiao Cui's skin is delicate, and there are many small holes in his hand.
She frowned slightly, bared her teeth but didn't dare to shout, just looked up at the grandmother, and didn't speak, but it could be seen from her eyes that she was resolutely unconvinced.
This rough mother didn't care about it, but after telling the matter well, she snorted coldly and left a sentence: "The phoenix in distress is not as good as a chicken, and she really thinks she is a delicate girl." "It's leaving.
The two little maids who were flattering before seemed to have put on another face, and sneered at Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui seemed to be unable to stand it, threw the broom to the ground, stomped his feet and said: "What kind of face are you guys, I have reached this point today, and I am not making a mistake myself, or because of the young lady's words, the young master drove me out like this, don't look at my jokes, one day, you yourself say the wrong word, maybe the end will be worse than me." ”
Xiaocui's words are really good, yesterday Shen Ke did mention Xiaocui to Lin Guanlan, but it was really just a joke, Shen Ke didn't expect that Lin Guanlan would be so serious, and took it to heart, and directly drove Xiaocui out of the inner courtyard.
Although this made Shen Ke feel a sense of security in his heart, it was too public, and just like Xiaocui now, she already held a grudge against herself, Shen Ke rubbed her neck, and was about to go over to say a few words for Xiaocui, and when she was transferred back to the inner courtyard by the way, she heard Xiaocui's words: "And do you think that the young master really loves the young lady and likes the young lady?" It's not because the young lady looks a little similar to the girl from the Wei family, if not, how could the young master, a person who doesn't like the Shen family, marry her so quickly. ”
Shen Ke was shocked when she heard this, and she seemed to be greatly touched, her mind was a little confused, but she just stopped, hid behind the corridor, and listened carefully to what they said.
"Hey, the matter between the young master and the girl of the Wei family turned out to be true. Listening to Xiaocui say this, a few maids who were still doing work came over in a hurry, girls always like to be attracted by gossip, especially the gossip about their master, they are naturally more enthusiastic than they are to sprinkle and sweep work.
"Not really. "Xiao Cui, who was still indifferent just now, saw that she suddenly became the focus of the crowd again, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, pretending to emphasize the authenticity," The young master and the Wei family girl Wei Yuan were childhood sweethearts, before Wei Wuhou's accident, the young master was even ready to propose marriage, but the Wei girl has never been very kind to see the young master, and the young master is really infatuated, and later, even if the Wei family girl was exiled, he has always been obsessed, and he has been sending people to the place of exile to inquire about the situation at the risk of killing his head, if the Wei family girl has anything missing, short, no matter how rare it is, he will immediately find someone to send it over. ”
I don't know why, Shen Ke, who was hiding on the side, heard these words, although she knew that Xiaocui was exaggerating, but her heart was still in great pain, as if countless needles were pierced in her heart at the same time, she covered her heart, and the peony on the side was ready to come forward, so as to let these subordinates chew the root of their tongues behind their backs, but they were stopped by Shen Ke.
Xiao Cui paused, others were already embarrassed, Xiao Cui saw this, and said again: "Do you remember that the young master had a falling out with Prince Su recently?" It's because of the Wei family's affairs, what is the friendship between the young master and the prince, I have known each other since I was a child, the prince came back from the national temple, or the old lady personally taught it, I have never quarreled for more than 20 years, it is as good as a brother, no, it is closer than a brother, just for a woman, the young master actually fell out with the web page, you say, the matter between the young master and the Wei family girl Wei Yuan, is it true or false?"
The words have already been said to this point, naturally no one will suspect that this is fake, and even if they are suspicious, they can't ask their own young master to verify it, one of them asked very curiously: "But you just said that this young lady is because she looks like a girl from the Wei family, and the young master is ...... , will it be too arbitrary, look at the young master's sincere love for the young lady, real love, if you don't like it, how can you ....... ”
"I like it," Xiao Cui shrugged and smiled, "It's just that I like the young lady as a girl from the Wei family, have you ever seen this girl from the Wei family? ”
Peony couldn't listen anymore, she wanted to step forward and reprimand these minions who didn't know how to speak, but she was stopped by Shen Ke.
"Forget it, let's go. Shen Ke turned his head and walked towards another path back to the courtyard, Peony was unwilling, and caught up and persuaded him: "Young lady, don't listen to their nonsense, that Xiaocui must be because she was punished, so she is unwilling, so she will go around slandering the relationship between the young lady and the young master." ”...
