"I've seen the old lady......."

"Uncle Fang doesn't have to be polite," Mu Tianda interrupted him, raised his eyes to look at the tied up guy behind him, his eyes became a little colder, "What's going on?" ”

"Back to the master, this kid is Ah Cai who guards the corner door, and usually the goods in and out of the kitchen are bought and exited through that corner door." Fang Bo bowed slightly, and said with a glance, "Today, the old slave passed by unintentionally, and I happened to hear this muddy boy and the mother-in-law who delivered vegetables breaking their mouths. ”

Mu Tianda raised his eyebrows, and subconsciously gave a cold look to the little guy.

Uncle Fang continued, "If it is ordinary gossip, the old slave will naturally ignore it, but the more this kid talks, the more outrageous it becomes, and he actually arranges the eldest lady with the mother-in-law outside, and the old slave is just a let people bet him over." ”

Zhao Ziyue looked thoughtfully at her daughter, who was blindly bowing her head, and then at Uncle Fang, and the sadness on her face suddenly gradually dissipated.

Mu Tianda was stunned, and then he was very angry in his heart, and the news of coming to Qiu Mansion to withdraw from his relatives spread all over Mu Mansion after a while.

Otherwise, Uncle Fang would have heard a little guy break his mouth, so he was so angry that he personally escorted someone over and asked him to deal with it.

He understands very well that this old servant who has served him since he was a child is the most nosy on weekdays, unless he encounters something that particularly makes him feel unjust.

"What kind of tongue did this muddy boy chew with outsiders at the back door?" Mu Tianda pointed to the gagged little guy and asked with an angry face.

The old slave stood next to him for a while, and then listened to a mouthful of gossip, saying that the eldest lady had an affair with Yan Gongzi, who temporarily lived in Qingsong Temple; said that the eldest lady went to the yard alone many times to visit Yan Gongzi, and also said that the eldest lady often wandered outside the window, and looked forward to something, in short, it was rumored that there was a nose and an eye! ”

Fang Bo said very calmly, but the more Mu Tianda listened, the more angry he became, and his face became darker and darker.

"I ask you, who told you all these things? Or do you say you saw it with your own eyes? Mu Tianda stood up, and with a murderous stride, he came to the side of the little guy. grabbed the collar of the little guy with one hand, tore off the rags in his mouth with the other, and glared viciously, but his mouth was like a cannon asking one after another.

Ah Cai's legs trembled with fright from his fierce eyes, and he wanted to retreat, because his collar was still firmly held by Mu Tianda.

After a long time, he stammered and begged for mercy, "Old man, spare your life...... The little ones don't dare anymore. ”

"Don't you dare, what?" Mu Tianda snorted heavily, staring at him with a frown, and the hand that grabbed the collar just didn't let go, "I asked, you explain it to me clearly." ”

"Yes, yes, the little one must be clear." Ah Cai cried with a sad face, facing the old man who was so angry that he could directly cut him with his eyes, he really wanted to shave a few ears and watch the door, what kind of mouth did he have!

Who's bad is said to be the most precious lady of the master, this will be good, and you will get into trouble!

"The little ones who say all those nonsense about the eldest lady are all heard from others." Ah Cai shrunk his shoulders, looked at Mu Tianda cautiously, and said in a low voice, "Some are from the maid ring of Qingsong Courtyard, some are from the kitchen helper, and some are from the mouth of the mother-in-law who sprinkles the sweeping......"

"You are full of food and support, and you are idle every day, so you arrange the master?" Mu Tianda was furious, and he really wanted to slap this kid to death.

The subordinates of the Manchu Mansion are passing around, and they are all spreading Xiaoxiao's gossip, and it is no wonder that the people of the Qiu Mansion can hear the rumors in their ears when they inquire casually.

Aunt Zhang is in charge of this family, and the more she manages it, the more unpleasant it becomes!

"In other words, you didn't see the eldest lady go to Qingsong Temple to do anything unruly?" In addition to being extremely angry, Mu Tianda of course remembered the most important thing, and after asking, he glared at Ah Cai viciously and was silent.

But looking at his eyes, if Ah Cai dared to lie, he would probably immediately break Ah Cai's neck in anger.

Ah Cai hurriedly nodded like pounding garlic, "The slave is the one who guards the corner gate, and he has no chance to go to Qingsong Courtyard at all, so naturally it is impossible to see the eldest lady enter and leave Qingsong Courtyard with his own eyes." ”

"Everything is heard from others, and it's really not about Ah Cai."

"Hmph, you're honest!" Mu Tianda snorted coldly and let go of his hand and shook him off. Ah Cai staggered to the side and hurt his shoulder, he looked at Mu Tianda's vicious eyes, but he didn't dare to show the slightest pain.

Uncle Fang watched Ah Cai being taken out, glanced at Qiu Tianshu, and then said, "Master, in fact, about the eldest lady going to visit Yan Gongzi, the old slave can explain a thing or two. ”

For Uncle Fang, who has spent most of his life in Mufu, Mu Tianda has always trusted him very much, not only him, but even the old lady has a lot of trust in this old servant.

Mu Tianda looked at the silent Qiu family's mother and son, nodded and said, "You say." ”

"Since Yan Gongzi stayed in Qingsong Courtyard, the eldest lady has actually only visited twice in total." Fang Bo stretched out his finger and shook it in front of everyone, intending to emphasize that the number of times was small, and the focus of everyone's attention was not on the number of times, so no one thought about whether the people in Mufu were too cold to that Yan Gongzi.

The corners of Mu Xiaofeng's eyes flickered, and he only saw a trace of displeasure flashing on the old lady's face.

She pursed her lips secretly, and heard Uncle Fang say again, "Once before the old man didn't return, the eldest lady and the second lady followed the old lady's instructions to visit Yan Gongzi in Qingsong Courtyard. ”

"It's just that the second lady suddenly had something to do that time, and she hurriedly left as soon as she entered the yard."

When the old lady heard this, her heart became even more uncomfortable, and she immediately said strangely, "The matter of Qingsong Courtyard, Uncle Fang, you are clear!" ”

Uncle Fang looked at the old lady respectfully and said, "Yazhu Courtyard and Qingsong Courtyard are both in the outer courtyard, not to mention that the old man is outside, and the two young masters are not in the mansion; How young the little maids who took care of Yan Gongzi were, and the lady was afraid that they would snub Yan Gongzi, so she specially instructed the servants to go to Qingsong Courtyard to take care of them more on weekdays. ”

The old lady knew that her son Pitied Uncle Fang for his old age, and had only asked Uncle Fang to take care of the study, and did not let Uncle Fang do other work.

However, because Uncle Fang is an old man by Mu Tianda's side, he treats people gently on weekdays, and most of the people in the house are quite convinced of him.

Mu Tianda didn't return to that meeting, the house was full of female dependents, and it was indeed inconvenient to take care of Yan or Shi, if the Zhao family asked Fang Bo to take care of it, it was very likely.

Although she didn't like it in her heart, the old lady had to admit that in some aspects, Aunt Zhang was far less thoughtful than Zhao's.

"On the day when the eldest lady and the second lady went to visit Yan Gongzi in Qingsong Courtyard, the old slave was waiting for Yan Gongzi in the house."

"After the second lady left in a hurry, in order to avoid suspicion, the eldest lady did not go directly to the room to visit Yan Gongzi, and she did stand outside the window and asked about Yan Gongzi." Fang Bo paused, and in Qiu Tianshu's increasingly ugly face, he said again, "The old slave was afraid that he would not be in detail, so he went to the room again and again to confirm with Yan Gongzi before going out to tell the eldest lady. ”

The old slave thought that the eldest lady had been instructed by the old lady to go there, so she naturally had to understand the details before she could go back and return to the old lady.

"Who knew that such a clean and honest thing would be ruined by someone with a heart." Uncle Fang let out a long sigh of pain, this sigh made the old lady feel ashamed, and also sighed that Qiu Tianshu was suspicious in his heart, "If it weren't for the fact that the old slave had stayed in Qingsong Courtyard to take care of Yan Gongzi during this time, the eldest lady would really be unable to explain this matter with a long mouth." ”

"The second time the eldest lady went to visit Yan Gongzi in Qingsong Courtyard, it was the time when she went with you, master, and the result was much the same as the first time, as soon as you stepped into the courtyard, you were called away in a hurry."

Mu Tianda heard him so remind, and also remembered the situation at that time. He was called back because there was a fire in the study. As a result, when he went back, there was no fire in the study, but a fire on the outer wall...... And at that time, Xiaoxiao also secretly reminded him that it was very likely that someone deliberately set fire to lure him away.

At that time, he still felt that Xiaoxiao was too careful, so he only laughed at it. In retrospect, it really looked like that.

"So, you also stayed in Yan Gongzi's room that time? Xiaoxiao, she has been standing outside the corridor and asking you about Yan Gongzi's situation? ”

Uncle Fang nodded and said with great certainty, "Master, eldest lady, she never stepped into Yan Gongzi's room alone for half a step, not even a word alone. Regarding Yan Gongzi's situation, all the old slave told her. ”

Mu Tianda raised his eyebrows, glanced at Qiu Tianshu, and finally let out a long sigh, "Mrs. Qiu, now that you have figured it out, Xiaoxiao has never done anything that is not polite and has a bad reputation. ”

Mrs. Qiu echoed far-fetchedly, "It does sound like that." ”

Mu Tianda frowned, the implication of her words, she still didn't believe that Xiaoxiao was innocent?

Qiu Tianshu snorted, and then said without being salty or light, "These are people from your mansion." ”

It's hard to say which is true or which is false.

Mu Tianda was so angry that he really wanted to throw his sleeves and blast the annoying mother and son out of the door.

doesn't wait to see his daughter, his family Xiaoxiao is not rare to marry.

But when it comes to his daughter's innocent reputation, even if he is dissatisfied in his heart, he can only endure it desperately.

Qiu Tianshu glanced at him very impolitely, and added another sentence to the fire, "Besides, in addition to these rumors in the mansion, the rumors outside are even more ugly." ”

"Outside the house?" Mu Tianda frowned, his eyes were blank, "What else is going on outside the mansion?" ”

Qiu Tianshu glanced at Mu Xiaofeng with disgust, snorted, and said not very politely, "Master Mu might as well go out for a walk, and you will know the great deeds of the eldest lady of your mansion." ”

Seeing that the more he spoke, the more formless he became, Mrs. Qiu immediately reprimanded in a low voice, "Heavenly forgiveness! ”

Mu Tianda was puzzled, but it was not good to ask Qiu Tianshu directly, he looked sideways at his quiet wife next to him.

I heard Zhao Ziyue say softly and lightly, "What Young Master Qiu said is probably related to leaving His Royal Highness." ”

Something to do with "ghost sorrow" leaving the king?

Mu Tianda instantly felt as if a thunderbolt was rolling overhead, shaking him so much that he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Could it be that the rumors outside are even more ugly - saying that his Xiaoxiao seduced the king regardless of shame?
