Chapter Twenty-Eight: Xue Jincheng
"Miss, you're awake!" Ah Gui heard the movement in the house, and didn't care about the rules, pushed the door open and broke in, and when he saw Mu Zi sitting on the bed with his eyes open, he couldn't help crying with joy. Mu Bo and the others followed her into the house, and when they saw that Mu Zi had woken up, they were also relieved, and asked gossipily, "How is Miss's body?" "Does the young lady feel cold?" "What's wrong with that?" "Are you hungry? Miss hasn't eaten in a day! ”
Mu Zi raised her hand and touched Ah Gui's head, and smiled at Mu Bo and the others with a gentle expression.
It was as if what Xue Jincheng had seen before was an illusion.
"Grandma, Madame has come to see you!" The mother-in-law who came to pass the news was the mother-in-law who watched the courtyard door, and when she saw that there was no girl outside the house, she was a little puzzled, but she didn't dare to enter the master's house without permission, so she shouted loudly.
Mu Bo and the others glanced at each other, but they still felt that they would leave first, so they saluted Mu Zi and Xue Jincheng, and quickly flashed out of the room, and they all disappeared in the blink of an eye.
In this way, when the Liu family entered the house, only Mu Zi, Xue Jincheng and A Gui were left.
Liu's face was still a little pale, but his eyes were red, and he looked at Xue Jincheng excitedly, speechless.
"My son is not filial, which makes my mother worried!" Xue Jincheng stood up, did not move, and knelt down directly.
"Quick, get up! It's okay, it's okay! Liu stepped forward to help Xue Jincheng, tears overflowed his eyes and fell on Xue Jincheng's face.
After a while, the Liu clan calmed down under Xue Jincheng's reassurance.
Mu Zi wanted to get up, but she held him down, "Good boy, it's hard for you!" ”
Under the deliberate concealment of Mama Zhou and Wang Junyao, the Liu family only knew that Mu Zi had fainted, thinking that she was as angry as her, and she didn't know what was going on.
Mu Zi shook her head, "It's nothing!" Mother, you talk, I'll go to the yard to breathe! ”
Mu Zi really wanted to leave here, facing that face, she only felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, but Liu thought she was trying to avoid suspicion, so she hurriedly stopped her and said, "Here!" You don't have to go out, you should know these things! ”
Without waiting for Mu Zi to refuse, Liu Shi turned his head to Xue Jincheng and said, "What the hell is going on, I received the news early in the morning, and I actually said that you went, I didn't believe it, but it was indeed your father's handwriting...... Speaking of the back, Liu's love that was finally calmed down became excited again, and his voice was choked.
"That letter was indeed written by my father, and there was a spy inside us, and it was very deeply hidden, so we had to make this decision to lure the fish into the bait. Originally, according to the plan, I quietly returned to Beijing and met my mother, so as not to worry my mother, but I didn't want to, but I was stopped on the way, so I came back late, which frightened my mother! Xue Jincheng said with a guilty face.
"Stopped? Who? Can you get hurt? Liu Shi hurriedly pulled Xue Jincheng's arm and looked it up and down.
"My son is fine, it's just a delay!" Xue Jincheng smiled lightly and shook his head.
Liu Shi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Can you find that spy?" ”
"Well, I found it!" Xue Jincheng nodded, with a faint expression on his face, "It's Xue Wu!" ”
"Xue Wu?" Liu was shocked, a little incredulous.
Mu Zi's thoughts outside the world were also pulled back by the word 'Xue Wu'.
Xue Wu is Wu Anhou's little servant, he has been with Wu Anhou since he was eight years old, and it has been more than 30 years.
Decades of master-servant relationship, also brother and friend, if Xue Wu is the new master who later took refuge, the Liu family does not believe it, then it can only be that before he entered the Hou Mansion, he already had a master.
A child who is only eight years old can hide for more than 30 years without being discovered, such a spy is not something that ordinary people can cultivate.
"Who's that guy behind that?" Although he knew it in his heart, Liu still wanted to confirm it.
Xue Jincheng shook his head, "He is indeed very loyal, and he didn't say it until he died!" ”
Liu sighed, and was more sure of the identity of the person behind the scenes, "That's it, it's clean if you're dead!" ”
Xue Jincheng was noncommittal, he was silent for a moment, and said to the Liu family, "When I come back this time, I still have something to discuss with my mother!" ”
"What?" Liu Shi was stunned.
Xue Jincheng stood up slowly, and under Liu's incomprehensible gaze, he took two steps with difficulty and stiffness.
Liu's face turned white, and even Mu Zi was stunned.
"This, this...... Brother Cheng, are you injured? No, it's okay, Ming Zhuo is in the house, let him help you heal, it's okay! Liu stood up in a panic, a little unable to accept the scene he was seeing.
"Mother!" Xue Jincheng took two steps forward with difficulty, walked in front of Liu, held her hand, and smiled softly, "Mother, my son is fine, you don't have to be sad!" ”
When Liu heard this, tears fell suddenly.
"Mother, this is not necessarily a bad thing!" Xue Jincheng comforted the Liu family softly, but he didn't dare to look at Mu Zi.
"Is it really going to be better?" Liu's heart was so distressed that she was about to lose her breath, and she didn't want to accept this fact, her son who grew up in the palm of her hand, both civil and military, Fengshen handsome son, how could she be a cripple!
"Hmmm! Uncle Yun has seen it! The injury is too bad, and it is too late to heal! Xue Jincheng's voice was still soft and warm, as if he was saying something very ordinary.
Liu wiped away her tears and nodded heavily, indicating that she accepted this fact, she raised her head, her back straight, "You just said that you have something to discuss with me, what is the matter?" ”
"I'm afraid the news of my death is known to everyone who should know it now. My father and I decided to plan the plan, but we replaced it with the second brother! Xue Jincheng's voice couldn't hear any emotion, "The two sons of the Marquis of Wu'an, one has become a cripple and the other is dead, it is estimated that the fear in that person's heart will be reduced!" ”
Hearing him say this, Liu's tears fell unstoppably again, she has always been resolute and resolute, no matter how difficult it is, she has never bent down in tears, but now in the face of her son, she only feels that her whole heart has been ripped out.
"Brother Hong, he ......" Xue Jinhong, the second son of the Liu family.
"Dad plans to let the second brother go to southern Xinjiang! The regime in southern Xinjiang is stable, the Jin Dynasty can't intervene, and the second brother will be very safe there, but before the matter in Beijing is resolved, I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other! Xue Jincheng explained to Liu in a deep voice.
Liu Shi saw it at this time, she shook her head and said, "It's okay!" As long as you're all good, you can do anything! It's just that Junyao ......"
"Why don't you ask the second brother and sister first!" Xue Jincheng didn't say much.
Wang Junyao walked around the room with Sister Yuan, who was sleeping soundly, and her heart was always unstable. Mama Lu persuaded her several times to let her rest earlier, but she didn't listen, always feeling that something was happening.
