Chapter 141: Arrest
Mu Yan exhaled lowly, looking at Mu Chaoyang's painful expression, which made her feel a little unbearable.
But this is indeed her heart, she really doesn't want to marry Mu Chaoyang, she doesn't want to at all, the nightmare in her previous life is too tragic, and the pain of her skin can't be forgotten at all.
Her eyes moved slightly, she thought for a while, and said in a low voice, "It's me who should say sorry for this, I know I shouldn't say these things, but if I hide it from you, I'm afraid that you will regret it after the two of us get married in the future, and I will be uncomfortable." ”
Mu Chaoyang immediately shrank his eyes, "How do you know that I will regret it?" ”
Mu Yan lowered his head to make tea and said lightly, "Even if Uncle doesn't regret it, I will not be happy for the rest of my life, after all...... You and I grew up together, and in my heart, I was like your sister. ”
Hearing the word "sister", Mu Chaoyang suddenly sat still and couldn't say a word, as if he had performed a fixation technique.
Mu Yan's words have already made it clear, whether Mu Chaoyang wants to let her go or not is up to Mu Chaoyang's choice.
She drank the last few sips of tea, and then got up, "Uncle wants to listen to my heart, I have already told me everything, as for the matter of the jade pendant, I will keep it secret to the end, and I will not tell outsiders." ”
She bowed her knees and planned to leave.
Mu Chaoyang stared at the slender back, and suddenly shouted, "Don't leave yet......
Mu Yan stopped, then turned around.
Mu Chaoyang's lips were closed, his eyebrows were tightened, and he seemed to be very entangled, "You...... You really don't want to marry me? ”
Mu Yan took a deep breath, then nodded.
Mu Chaoyang's body fell, his eyes suddenly dimmed, he was silent for a moment, and then waved his hand very weakly, "Okay, I know, you can go......"
Mu Yan stared at Mu Chaoyang for a moment, then turned sideways and walked out of the wing room without looking back.
The sun was shining on her face as if she had been smeared with a layer of moisturizing cream.
For the first time, she felt a sense of relief as she stood here.
…………
Master Mu ordered someone to gather all the guards in the front yard into the garden.
He ordered a table, a chair, and a pot of hot tea.
In the interval between sitting on the chair and slowly sipping tea, the nurses and family members who were gathered did not know what was going on, and they couldn't help but whisper to each other.
"Why did the master suddenly summon us?"
"I don't know, I didn't say anything when I called it, I just said that there was something."
"It can't have anything to do with Siqin's death last night, right?"
“……”
A group of people speculated, but Master Mu was not in a hurry, so he first called people to roll out the roster one by one to see who was lacking and who was missing.
After a roll call, it was found that two people in the nursing home in the front yard had not arrived, and all the servants were there.
Master Mu took a sip of hot tea and asked, "Who didn't come?" ”
The housekeeper Yu, who was named, replied, "Sun Ping took leave early in the morning, saying that the old mother at home suddenly fell ill and wanted to go back to take care of the old mother. The other is Zhao Jinliang, who took leave three days ago, and he also had something at home and took a half-month leave. ”
After hearing this, Master Mu pondered, so the only person who left the Mu Mansion this morning was Sun Ping.
He put the teacup and asked the housekeeper, "How is Sun Ping usually a good person?" How's it going? ”
Steward Yu thought for a while, then hissed and replied, "Sun Ping usually doesn't like to talk much, and he likes to drink two or two small wines in his spare time, but he doesn't have any other preferences. If it is a reincarnation, he can be said to be outstanding in the nursing courtyard, and I have heard that his ancestor opened a martial arts hall. ”
"Really?" Master Mu rolled his eyes and immediately asked, "Was he on duty last night?" ”
Steward Yu thought for a moment and nodded, "Duty night." ”
The old man asked again, "Have you ever left the front yard halfway?" ”
This question was difficult for the butler, and he shook his head, "I don't know about this, I have to ask my brother who is on duty with him at night." ”
"Then you ask!" The eldest lord instructed.
Anyway, everyone is present, and it's convenient to ask.
Steward Yu immediately raised his voice and asked, "I walked a few steps forward with Sun Ping last night, and the master wants to ask." ”
There was a commotion in the crowd, you look at me, I look at you, I can't guess the intention of the big man.
After about a moment, someone tentatively stepped forward, followed by six more people.
Seven people stood in a row in front of the big man.
Master Mu glanced at their faces one by one before asking, "Who was on duty with Sun Ping last night?" ”
A nurse immediately stood up, "Master Hui, it's me and Sun Ping together, and we are on night duty all the way to Qingfeng Pavilion in the north." ”
The eldest lord nodded, and then asked, "Sun Ping has always been with you?" ”
The nurse suddenly frowned, and after thinking carefully for a while, he said, "Except for going to the toilet halfway, the two of us are almost together. ”
"That's right...... The weather was a little cold at night, Sun Ping once said that he was cold and wanted to add some clothes, so he went for a while, but he came back soon. ”
The eldest lord immediately grasped this keenly and asked urgently, "You said that he went back to the room to add clothes halfway?" ”
The nurse didn't dare to hide it, and nodded quickly.
At this moment, the person sent by the eldest master to search the room also hurriedly came, "This is from under the bed in one of the rooms, please take a look." ”
The eldest man stretched out his hand to take it, and it turned out to be a black skit, and most importantly, there was a piece missing from the cuffs of this black stub, as if it had been forcibly torn off.
He immediately took out the black cloth he found from Si Qin's hand and checked it, just right, no more, no less, that was the gap.
The eldest man suddenly exhaled deeply, his emotions were extremely excited, and he shrank his eyes and asked, "Whose room is this something that was searched from?" ”
The henchman respectfully handed over the bedside card, which was engraved with two words in regular script, "Sun Ping." ”
The Mu family's homekeepers, including the maids, each of them had a wooden plaque engraved with their name on their bedside.
"That's right, that's right, it's all right......" The eldest lord's face was heavy, and he immediately raised his hand and said, "Hurry up and send someone to Sun Ping's house, and I must bring Sun Ping back alive." If he is not at home, I will look carefully in and out of the city, and I will not let him escape. ”
Steward Yu didn't dare to delay things, so he quickly picked a few people who were powerful, and he personally took people to Sun's house to find Sun's family.
However, when they arrived, Sun Ping had long since disappeared.
So Steward Yu sent people to look for people in Yanjing City, and at the same time sent people with good foot strength and cleverness to look for them outside the city.
The eldest lord moved very much, almost alarming the whole house.
The eldest lady learned that Sun Ping had escaped, and when the eldest master went to chase Sun Ping, her whole body collapsed, and her pale face suddenly fell on the chaise longue......
If Sun Ping is arrested, Siqin's death will definitely be exposed, what should I do? (To be continued.) )
