Chapter 68, Avoiding Trouble
Sending Mu Yu away, Mu Chenxue watched Fanghua close the courtyard door and lock it, and then went to see his younger brother who was still reading and practicing calligraphy, added tea and snacks, and told him to rest early, so that he could go back to the house with peace of mind.

Fanghua helped Fifth Miss make the bed and asked, "Miss, the second young master is here to deliver ice, why don't you leave some?" Fanghua felt that it was a pity, although the eldest lady thought of a lot of tricks, but during the day, she accompanied the young lady to the eldest lady's house to ask for peace, this room with ice was very cool.
"Fanghua thinks it's too hot in this room?" Mu Chenxue stood behind Ping Feng and untied her clothes, wanting to take a mint bath to cool herself down.
"Where can the slave be hot, just listen to my brother, the Ninth Young Master always has to get up two or three times a night to take a shower to cool down, even if the young lady doesn't use it, it can be used by the Ninth Young Master! It's very hot these days, and the Ninth Young Master has to go to the county school to study during the day, and he can't sleep restlessly at night, and his body has lost weight. Aunt Cheng looked at it but felt distressed, she couldn't even eat these days! "Curtain Chenxue also knows these things, but if this ice is given by Starling or the fourth sister, she will accept it even if she doesn't want to. Only Mu Yu can't.
"Hey, I'm afraid you've forgotten what I told you before. Your young master and young lady are not serious masters in this shogunate. It is easy to put down the ice, but I am afraid that disaster will follow. What kind of person is the second uncle, even the eldest lady dares to contradict her son, do you think she will watch her son bring ice to us to use? "Fanghua didn't really forget, it's just that these days with Miss Five, the days are getting better and better, not to mention, the eldest lady hasn't made any trouble in the backyard.
"Miss's order, the slave maid dare not forget it for a moment, the slave maid is heartbroken for you and the Ninth Young Master!" Usually the young lady doesn't talk much, and she rarely even tells her to do things, and only asks her to accompany Aunt Cheng when she has anything to do. And the Ninth Young Master also learns from the young lady everywhere on weekdays. But Fanghua and Fang Yan could still feel that their masters were different from ordinary minions to them. The two minions also admired and cared for their master from the bottom of their hearts.
"I understand your intentions, it's just that we are in this shogunate for a day, that is, we can't help but be controlled by others, even if it's just a small thing, we have to think about it and think about it, ponder and ponder, otherwise I am afraid that the blessings and disasters will be unpredictable, and the days will be difficult!" Mu Chenxue soaked in the bathtub, and even sighed fate.
"Miss, it's the slave who was not cautious and almost hurt you and the Ninth Young Master, please punish Miss!" Fanghua walked behind Ping Feng and knelt beside Mu Chenxue.
"Okay, it's not a big deal, you get up! In the future, you and Fang Yan will pay more attention! "For the ancients kneeling at every turn, Mu Chenxue is still not very adaptable. But she wouldn't stop her minions. Her behavior is already very out of place, and some things should not be too out of place. Otherwise, I am afraid that it will cause more trouble.
It was a good night's sleep on her side. Mu Yu, who returned to the outer courtyard, was stopped by Fang's son Cao Yangming, "Brother Yu, why did you come from the inner courtyard so late?" ”
"It's nothing! It's hot, I can't sleep, so just take a walk! "Mu Yu doesn't like the Fang family, although he is in one place with Cao Yangming, he is only a simple and deep friend, and he is not a friend who can be regarded as a heart-to-heart friend.
"Brother Yu is holding a food box in his hand, is it that my aunt has rewarded some novel snacks? Would you like me to have a piece of it, too? Without waiting for Mu Yu to refuse, he grabbed the food box in his hand. It felt cold when he started it, and even if Mu Yu didn't say it, he could guess a few points.
"The eldest aunt rested early, how can I get any snacks so late, I just read a little late, and I was hungry, so I went into the small kitchen in the inner courtyard to find some food!" Without waiting for Cao Yangming to open the food box, Mu Yu snatched the food box back. "It's not early, Cousin Cao should go back and rest early!" Mu Yuren gave the nickname "Muyu", but it doesn't mean that he is really a fish and wood head, and he also knows that his cousin Yu Li is not in line with the night party, and spreading it will ruin Mu Chenxue's reputation. So no matter how Cao Yangming asked, he wouldn't say it. Carrying the food box, he took a few steps back to his house.
Cao Yangming hated the root of his teeth, and his house was the smallest in the outer courtyard. Since the beginning of the summer, he has been tormented day and night, and he can't sleep at night. But Mu Yu had good things, but he never thought of sending him, but sent them to the backyard to give him the little slut he hated the most.
Since he came to the shogunate, he has always remembered his mother's words, to be patient and cautious, and to take advantage of the shogunate's momentum to gain a reputation in the future and seek a half-official position. Then he will be able to leave the shogunate with his mother proudly, and he will no longer have to live under the fence.
But after getting along for more than a year, he actually had a kind of affection for Mu Yu that he couldn't say to people, which is why he hated Mu Chenxue so much. Today, he didn't want to endure it anymore, so he had to teach that little slut a lesson, so that she had nothing to do to seduce his sweetheart. Cao Yangming kept scolding in the direction of the backyard, but he didn't want to think about how disgusting it was for him to blame others for this kind of unruly love.
The shogunate was eventful, and the Kei Wang's Mansion was not so peaceful. Nangong Shumo has prepared to lay out these days, and secretly used a lot of means, Yiranju naturally collected a lot of false information according to his thoughts.
"Lord Jun, my subordinates have found out that the owner behind the 'Yipin' dim sum shop is a person from the Mu Mansion in the east of the city!" Liuyun has been tracking down these days, and he finally has some eyebrows. This man was much harder to find than he thought.
"Chengdong Mu Mansion, do you know the origin of the other party?" Nangong Xun frowned slightly, it wasn't that he didn't trust Liuyun, he just felt that things were going too smoothly.
"Back to the prince of the county, his subordinates found out that the master of the Mu Mansion is called Mu Qing, 28 years old. Because of a crime in Beijing, he was exiled to this place by Mu Fu at the beginning of the year. And this person is just a son of Mu Mansion, because his family was originally born in business, so he is particularly good at business, his family is rich, and he has raised some capable people! Liuyun's investigation was very detailed, but Nangong Xun still felt that this matter was a little strange based on his intuition.
"Is there a female dependent in the East Mu Mansion in this city?" Liuyun didn't understand why the prince of the county asked such a question, but he investigated carefully, and of course these things were investigated.
"Back to the county prince, there is no hostess in the Mu Mansion, but there are three concubines and two concubines. His subordinates also sent people to infiltrate the Mu Mansion and found a lot of account books and letters to and from the capital from his study! Where would Liuyun have thought that what he found out was all the bureau of Nangong Shumobu, and it was the bait he deliberately put after discussing it with Mu Chenxue.
"Before, this person didn't even show his face, and the people who sent out didn't even find a shadow, how come it has only been less than a month, and so many clues can be found?" Liuyun was also suspicious at the beginning, but he personally went to Mu Mansion to check, and he also saw those letter books with his own eyes, so he dared to return to the prince of the county. But now that the master was suspicious, he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to be ordered to continue the investigation.
