Chapter 628 Chain Lock, Chain Lock
Listening to Mu Xiaofeng's words, she didn't reveal the meaning of scolding and ridiculing for half a minute, but every word could make Mu Meisu ashamed, and she couldn't even raise her head.
The old lady who had been sitting on the top with a black face seemed to be even darker than the layers of thick ink.
However, of course, she was skeptical of Mu Xiaofeng's statement.
Anyway, she was sure that Mu Meisu's heart was towards her. This daughter, who she raised with one hand, how could she find out how to be greedy for the silver of Momu Mansion.
As soon as her brows sank, the old lady scolded mercilessly, "You bloody girl, don't talk nonsense here, your aunt is also surnamed Mu, how can she be a waste of money." ”
In just one sentence, Mu Xiaofeng was accused of being incomplete.
Mu Tianda's face turned cold, but based on the fact that person was his mother, he could only defend his baby daughter in a tactful tone, "Mother, Xiaoxiao, this child is pragmatic, and he has always been on a case-by-case basis, and he will not favor or wronged others for other reasons." ”
"Does Mrs. Jiang have a deficit in silver, is she deliberately in deficit in silver, if Xiaoxiao does not have tangible evidence, she will definitely not talk nonsense in front of her elders."
This sentence, although it is said tactfully and calmly. But it can also be targeted word by word, and every sentence is like iron.
A sentence of Mrs. Jiang is equivalent to supporting Mu Xiaofeng with a clear banner; did not directly deny that Mu Meisu's surname was Mu, but he emphasized that this woman had married out and become another woman.
As the saying goes, the daughter who marries spills the water, and he thinks that her daughter classifies this woman as an outsider, which is completely correct.
The old lady's other objections were also completely refuted by him with a sentence of "tangible evidence".
Mu Xiaofeng has always known that her father has unconditionally and completely trusted her, and when she heard this, her heart was full of warmth and emotion, but she was also helpless and sour and sad.
Daddy has always trusted and loved his mother unconditionally, but unfortunately, now, his mother can no longer enjoy this strong ...... of love.
Suppressing the grief and sadness in his heart, Mu Xiaofeng still smiled lightly, "If I were Mrs. Jiang, I would definitely agree to my father immediately, and do my duty as a daughter to serve the old lady and fulfill my filial piety." You know, this is a blessing that no one else can ask for. ”
This sentence is a reminder and a warning.
Of course, it is an indirect threat.
Mu Xiaofeng didn't care if others could understand it or not, when she saw Mu Meisu's face change instantly, she knew that this woman understood.
"But, big brother," Mu Meisu had a ghost in her heart, and actually subconsciously turned her head to avoid Mu Xiaofeng's bright and clear gaze, and put on a weak state astringently, pleading, "I, I'm also not familiar with the market in the capital for a while, so I will ...... Deficit of some silver. ”
Tens of thousands of taels are just some silver in her eyes?
Mu Tianda sneered, waved his hand vigorously, and directly interrupted her impatiently, "These things are handled by the eldest lady, you don't have to explain to me." ”
Mu Meisu had no choice but to shut up, and her eyes swept over her anxious daughter on the side. With a stirring in his heart, he hurriedly said, "I am naturally willing to accompany my mother to serve my filial piety, but Yulian ...... She is a little girl who doesn't understand anything, can the eldest brother let her stay in the house and learn the rules from the young grandmother? ”
Mu Tianda only lowered his eyes and sneered silently, and was not in a hurry to interject, just waiting to hear what kind of fair and honest reasons this brazen woman could come up with.
However, Mu Tianda didn't have such a good patience for her, so he swept away coldly, and said in a deep voice, "To learn the rules, it's not better to follow your mother and Mrs. Jiang." ”
The corners of his eyes squinted, and he asked in an unquestionable tone, "Unless Mrs. Jiang feels that she and her mother can't teach her the rules well." ”
Mu Meisu was suffocated, even if he was so angry that he was angry in his heart, he couldn't show his dissatisfaction on his face.
The corner of her eye quietly slanted over, and she saw the old lady looking at her suspiciously.
Not good, if this old woman is suspicious of her at this time, her life will be sad in the future.
"Big brother is really good at laughing, my mother has always been the most well-behaved person, I'm just worried that Yulian will annoy my mother if she follows me, so I ......." She squinted at the old lady, and saw that the old woman's face really turned from cloudy to sunny, and the big stone hanging in her heart quietly landed, "If the eldest brother is afraid that Yulian will trouble the young grandmother if she stays in the house, then I have to let her follow her to annoy my mother." ”
"Mother, you shouldn't dislike our mother and daughter, right?"
When she said this, she cautiously revealed a tone of obvious coquettish dependence. When the old lady heard this, she was in a trance as if she had returned to the scene when she was a child, and all doubts disappeared.
Mu Tianda only didn't see the faint nostalgia on the old lady's face, and then said, "As for Linglang Jiang Yukun, it's better to stay in the mansion for the time being." ”
Mu Meisu's heart tightened, and she wanted to ask him what he meant by "staying in the mansion temporarily", but she was afraid that if she asked, he would directly find another reason to stuff people into Zhuangzi in Yaozhou.
At that point, there really won't be any room for anything.
After thinking about it for a while, she could suppress the doubts in her heart, and acquiesced in his arrangement.
Now that the persuasion has been completed, Mu Tianda is not willing to stay in Sukido for more. Facing the two women who were once closest to him for a moment, the heavy sense of sadness and indignation in his heart became deeper and deeper.
Mu Xiaofeng also didn't see the joy flashing on Mu Meisu's face, and also left the Suxi Hall after Mu Tianda.
Mu Meisu, that woman, thought that she could really swallow it without worrying about a deficit of tens of thousands of taels of silver?
Do you really think she has a advantage in keeping Jiang Yukun in Mufu?
Or do you think that she Mu Xiaofeng has a bodhisattva heart?
Mu Xiaofeng instructed Hongying to send someone to watch the old lady and Mu Meisu go out, and then returned to Fenglin Residence.
said that Zhuangzi, who was going to leave for Yaozhou in half an hour, Mu Xiaofeng would never allow them to stay in the mansion for another moment.
Hongying returned to Fenglin Residence, saw her sitting thoughtfully under the window, thought for a while, and then approached and said, "Miss, the slave maid has already sent someone to watch them out of the city." ”
Mu Xiaofeng only nodded, and said a soft "um" without speaking.
"Miss...... Is it intended to trap them in Yaozhou Zhuangzi all the time? ”
Mu Xiaofeng retracted his gaze and sneered faintly, "No, I sent them to Yaozhou, not to waste food in vain." ”
Those two people were both murderers of their mothers. In particular, Mu Meisu is one of the unforgivable murderers.
That woman hurt her mother's life, how could she let that woman die happily. Even if she wants to die, she has to let that woman enjoy the long pain and torture, and she is happy to send that woman to die so that she can die.
As for the old lady, for her father's sake, she won't kill the old lady, so it's better to be banished out of sight.
The bustling and lively food here in the capital will have nothing to do with that old lady in the future.
When Mu Xiaofeng was actively dealing with Mu Meisu in the mansion, Chu Lige was not idle.
On this day, he broke directly outside the imperial study.
"Your Highness, please wait outside for a while, and let the slave report to Your Majesty." When the eunuch at the door saw him striding without squinting, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him with a bitter gourd face, and pleaded with him repeatedly.
Chu Lige's footsteps stagnated slightly, and he flew over with cold eyes, "Go quickly." ”
Whether it's a cold tone or this cold and arrogant attitude, it's enough for normal people to stand it.
However, this is also for normal people, for His Royal Highness Liwang, who can only make people look up from afar, which makes normal people unbearable attitude, but it is enough to make the eunuch at the door moved.
You must know that although the number of times this Iceberg Highness has come to the imperial study is only a handful, nine times out of ten, he ignores them and goes straight in.
Of course, Emperor Chu wouldn't really take Chu Lige, but after that, these eunuchs definitely didn't have good fruit to eat.
Right now, this Iceberg Highness, who has always been unkind, actually slowed down a little, and this eunuch who risked his life to block the road was almost so happy that he couldn't find the north.
His eyes were slightly cold, and Chu Lige swept over with a faint slap of the knife. The eunuch was immediately excited, turned around and ran into the imperial study to report it.
In fact, Chu Lige didn't mean to wait outside for the spread at all, the eunuch ran in with his front foot, and he almost followed with his back foot.
But fortunately, he kindly left a little time, so that the eunuch could just report the news of his arrival to Emperor Chu.
Before Emperor Chu could say summons, he looked up and saw that the handsome and tall figure had strode from the backlight of the door. I had to frown, hold back the displeasure in my heart, and wave my hand to the eunuch.
"What are you doing again?"
The tone of absolute impatience revealed that Emperor Chu was not in a good mood at the moment.
A person who is interested will naturally think about it in his heart at this moment, and then change his mind and only choose the good one to say to him.
It's a pity that Emperor Chu knows this son's temperament better than anyone else, and if he wants this bastard boy to say something nice in front of him, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky.
Chu Lige completely ignored his displeasure and impatience, and directly took out something from his body.
"Send something to Your Majesty."
As soon as he heard that something was being sent, Emperor Chu's brows subconsciously tightened first. A few times ago, he was looking forward to what this bastard boy had to give.
However, after seeing the bad nature of this bastard boy who deliberately made him unhappy, he now felt resistant when he heard about giving things.
But no matter how resistant and dissatisfied he is, as the king of a country, he can't show it clearly on his face.
However, when there were no outsiders, he glared at Chu Lige coldly without disguise, "What kind of broken thing?" ”
Based on Chu Lige's experience of sending things back from the Big Buddha Temple twice, Emperor Chu subconsciously felt that what he sent this time would definitely not be a good thing.
Chu Lige didn't seem to understand his taunt at all, his eyes seemed to be cold, but he handed the things that were placed in the small box to the imperial case.
"See for yourself."
Emperor Chu frowned, raised his head and stared at him suspiciously for a while before turning his eyes to the small box on the imperial case.
Snorted coldly, as if this would show his extraordinary momentum.
Then he showed a nonchalant look, reached out and took the box and opened it.
He took out the contents and shook them in the air, and glanced at them a few more times, after making sure that this time it was really not something broken. The suspicious look in his eyes did not decrease, but he still frowned, and asked solemnly and coldly, "What is this?" ”
"As Your Majesty can see," Chu Lige stood three feet away from the imperial case, indifferently raised his eyebrows and glanced at the things in his hand, and said with a glance, "It's a nine-turn chain lock." ”
"I know it's a lock," Emperor Chu stared at the broken lock in his hand for a while with a gloomy face, before he once again cast a cold and questioning gaze on the man in brocade clothes, "What I asked you is, what is the use of this thing?" ”
Chu Lige Muran glanced at the small nine-turn chain lock, and said in a very indifferent tone, "As Your Majesty can see, this broken thing is naturally not for Your Majesty to lock any treasures. ”
This is not nonsense!
Emperor Chu's face was gloomy, and there was already a faint anger in his eyes. He endured it, although he could barely control his anger, but his voice was obviously a little colder, "Then you can tell me directly, what do you want to do with this thing?" ”
"Or, what do you want to hint at me this time?"
This bastard boy has loved to play tricks since he was a child, but he was so confused by this kid that he forgot about this one.
Chu Lige didn't speak, pursed his thin lips with straight lines, but raised his eyebrows and squinted at him with a faint look of appreciation.
This bastard boy actually showed such a look?
Emperor Chu was so happy in his heart that he almost forgot his original intention.
"Locks are interlocked, and they are useful."
In a word, the powerful His Royal Highness has the ability to break it down into several pieces, and even more powerful to express this sentence in several ways.
When Emperor Chu heard this, he seemed to be stunned. Glancing at him, he fell into deep thought.
After thinking for a while, his face, which had just been a little cloudy, sank again.
Emperor Chu stared at the handsome man standing in front of him, and asked quietly, "What do you mean, suspect that I sent someone to take that girl's life?" ”
Chu Lige was not willing to spend his time playing dumb riddles with him, and directly squinted his eyes with a hint of sneering contempt.
"Didn't Your Majesty do it?"
So calm, so indifferent, yet so determined.
Emperor Chu was stunned when he heard this, but he was even more angry in his heart.
He gritted his teeth, stared at the face that looked like an old man fiercely, and sneered proudly, "What if I did it? ”
"Not well," Chu Lige lightly glanced at the chain lock he was still holding in his hand, and said very indifferently, "The minister just wants to tell Your Majesty that the chain lock, if one link is missing, this lock will be completely wasted." ”
"If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can give it a try right away."
This bastard boy actually threatened him.
Emperor Chu was immediately furious, and slapped it on the table with a "snap", but coincidentally, it was the hand holding the chain lock that slapped it down.
The chain lock, which was already sloppy, was overwhelmed and disconnected under his angry beat.
But Chu Lige also asked lightly, "Now Your Majesty has seen it clearly?" ”
