Chapter 38: Curiosity
After kneeling down to Shakyamuni Buddha, when Mu Yan came out of the hall, he happened to see the little guy who had taken the small fish from Xue Zhiyuan's hand before, and he was talking with Qiuyun, a second-class maid beside Xue Huasheng, under an old locust tree.
ββ¦β¦ The eldest prince said, when the vegetarian food is finished, let me send the eldest lady back. β
"Why? The eldest lady finally came out for a trip......" Qiuyun pursed her lips, a little unhappy.
The little guy whispered, "Are you stupid?" Didn't you see that Mr. Zhou Pei wanted to please our eldest lady? β
Qiu Yun blinked, obviously didn't expect this, but the girl's family is always simpler, and she felt that Zhou Pei didn't deliberately flatter, so she said for a while, "Zhou Gongzi Xu is like this to everyone, right?" Besides, our eldest lady didn't talk to him either......"
The little guy patted his head, and said helplessly, "Forget it, it's really hard to talk to you, in a word, the eldest young master said, and the eldest lady must go back to the house after finishing her vegetarian meal." Afraid that Qiuyun would be unhappy, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Of course, I'm just a messenger who works, and the person who gives the order is our master." β
Qiu Yun flattened her mouth and finally nodded, "Okay, I know, I'll go and talk to Mama Xin when I go back." β
β¦β¦
Mu Yan stood not far away and listened, not that she intended to eavesdrop, but she was just curious about where the little guy got the fish, and wanted to go up and inquire.
When Qiu Yun turned around, she found Mu Yan, she was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "Miss Yan is better?" β
Mu Yan smiled at her, "It's better." His eyes looked at Xue Zhiyuan's little guy again, and he said curiously, "I take the liberty of asking, how did you dispose of that little fish?" β
The little guy didn't expect Mu Yan to talk to him, and at the same time, he didn't expect Mu Yan to ask this question, so he scratched his hair for a while, and grinned, "Buried." β
Buried?
Mu Yan's eyebrows shrank, and he only listened to the little servant, "It was my son-in-law who ordered me to bury the fish in the plum garden in the east." β
Mu Yan blinked.
Is this Xue Zhiyuan really different from the rumors in his previous life?
How could a cold-blooded man who wanted to kill his father fish fish and let his little servant bury the fish?
Most people do the most they can do to catch the dead fish......
Mu Yan pinched his fingers, and his previous bad views on Xue Zhiyuan also changed.
"Your eldest son is really kind." Peach couldn't help but praise from the bottom of her heart.
After hearing this, the little guy immediately looked excited, nodded and said, "The girl is really discerning, it is rumored that my son-in-law is indifferent, in fact, he has done a lot of good things in secret." β
Mu Yan was surprised.
Also surprised are the pink and green turnips.
As if the person who had been wronged for a long time was eager to clarify, the little guy immediately opened the conversation and said, "...... The year before last, there was a drought in Jixian County, how many victims poured in in the capital at once, although the emperor ordered to open a warehouse to help the victims, but there were still many people who could not eat, my eldest son felt sorry for the displaced victims, and privately took out his own body to arrange for people to set up porridge sheds......"
There is such a thing.
Mu Yan was shocked again.
In her previous life, she had never heard anyone say this, and no one had ever mentioned this, all she heard was Xue Zhiyuan's disadvantages, and these kind deeds had never been heard.
Although Yanjing is big, it stands to reason that all the excellent deeds of these sons of the family will be mentioned countless times, why is Xue Zhiyuan's good deeds not mentioned?
Could it be that someone deliberately concealed it?
With a thought move, even she was startled.
Xue Zhiyuan is the eldest son of Pingyang Hou, who has the courage to hide this?
The little guy was still talking excitedly, "...... Also, there is a small town called Tongyuan in the south of the city, and the two private schools in the town are my son-in-law......"
"Ahem......"
A dry cough suddenly came from behind Mu Yan, and the little guy who was still talking with great interest also stopped his voice at this moment, hanging his head and looking at his toes.
Qiu Yun stammered and curtched, "Eldest Prince...... Wanfu ......"
Mu Yan's face was a little embarrassed, listening to other people's gossip, but he didn't expect the person concerned to be behind him......
Mother Bamboo also hurriedly turned around and saluted.
Mu Yan had no choice but to turn around and salute, and at the same time secretly scolded himself for being sluggish, and a person came over behind him, but he didn't even notice it.
Xue Zhiyuan's expression was indifferent, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at the little guy who was talking, and said coldly, "Lu'an, is the carriage ready?" β
Lu'an lowered his eyebrows and looked at the foot, and secretly scolded himself in his heart, and at the same time said with a smile, "The little one just notified Qiuyun and was about to prepare the car......
"And what are you still standing for? Begging for a beating? Xue Zhiyuan glared at Lu'an.
"The little one is going to prepare the car......" Lu'an grinned, and the girl turned around to prepare the car.
Qiuyun also took the opportunity to seize the opportunity and hurriedly said, "The slave maid went to tell Miss SΓΉ about going back, and the slave maid retired ......."
She also hurried away.
Mu Yan rolled up his sleeves, although this Xue Zhiyuan spoke a little colder, but he could hear that he was actually not a bad person.
Lu'an said so much about him behind his back, and he didn't pursue it.
She felt again that this Xue Zhiyuan might not be the person she heard, but someone had demonized him.
But who has the ability to demonize him?
Mu Yan thought about it, shaking his mind, but he didn't know that Xue Zhiyuan was looking at her fixedly.
ββ¦β¦ Didn't Miss Mu say that she was not in good health? Xue Zhiyuan stood with his hands in his hands and asked to the point.
Peach and Luwu both swallowed a mouthful of saliva and pinched a cold sweat for Mu Yan.
Mu Yan was slightly stunned, and immediately reacted, and said lightly, "Fang Cai is uncomfortable, but I feel much better when I come out and walk around." β
She replied without a drop of water.
Xue Zhiyuan didn't ask, but said coldly, "Doesn't Miss Mu know that it's rude to talk about others behind your back?" β
Mu Yan frowned, and at the same time slandered in his heart, is this guy always so faceless when talking to people?
Besides, she didn't take the initiative to talk about him, it was his little servant Lu'an who was there alone and talked about his glorious deeds......
Mu Yan pursed his lips, and only said lightly after a moment, "I just want to know where that little fish went......"
She looked up at him, and he looked at her.
A pair of ink-black and unfathomable eyes met Mu Yan's eyes in mid-air.
Mu Yan coughed dryly.
I have to say that this Xue Zhiyuan is really good-looking.
He is different from Mu Chaoyang's good-looking.
Mu Chaoyang always looks like a gentleman, if he is a willow tree, then Xue Zhiyuan is a pine.
It's not that he is old, it's just that there is something very firm in his eyes, and Mu Yan can't express what kind of thing it is, he just thinks that he is difficult to touch, but if it really enters his heart, it will definitely be a lifetime of wasteland......
