Chapter Eighty-Four: The Punishment of Thorns

On this afternoon, Old Man Mu was playing chess with Mu Yan, the eldest grandson of the Mu family, in his yard, thanks to the blessing of Cang Anlan Hulai, it was rare to let Mu Yan, who served in the Yulin Army, come back from Jinling City, so he naturally wanted to enjoy the joy of family.

Mu Yan glanced at the old man Mu on the opposite side of the chessboard, an old man who was nearly seventy years old, his slightly cloudy eyes were shining shrewdly, his withered hands moved swiftly between the black and white chess pieces, he was touching the goatee on his chin, and said proudly: "Let's go back and practice for another two years." ”

"Then I'll go back to practice first, and take care of your old man." Mu Yan said helplessly while cleaning up the mess of the chessboard.

Old Man Mu bent down and crawled on the chessboard, like an old child, and laughed: "Alas, good grandson, didn't I give up my body to accompany you?" It will definitely allow you to improve your chess skills during this time in Jingbei, and return to Jinling City to kill them cleanly in the future. ”

Mu Yan put down the chess basket of Baizi in his hand, sighed deeply, looked at the suddenly cloudy and black sky above his head, and said helplessly: "This kind of thing is what you dare to say, when will you let Wanqing come back?" ”

Old Man Mu also looked up at the sky, a cold autumn wind rolled up, and the sweat that was excited was not yet dry, but it was blown by the wind! The muffled voice with no interest said: "Don't call her Wanqing in the future, when Wanqing and your little uncle become relatives in the future, then you can't change your mouth and make jokes, and when you look at this ghost weather, you will know that someone has provoked Wanqing for no reason." ”

Mu Yan laughed, shook his head again and again, and persuaded Old Man Mu: "Grandpa, what you said is too far-fetched, right?" It's just that it happens to rain again, and you also know that Jingbei is this unpredictable ghost weather, where is it related to people's sorrow? It's probably because you're too idle at home that you have such weird thoughts. Let's go into the house quickly, seeing that winter is coming, lest you get sick, and then the evening will cry and feel sorry for you. ”

Old Man Mu was amused by Mu Yan's words, completely forgetting the unhappiness of the sudden change in the weather, and speaking of it, he hadn't seen Wanqing's girl for almost a week, and he also had some longing in his heart, touching his beard and smiling: "Later, you can go to Anlan's mansion to bring Wanqing back." ”

The grandfather and grandson were chatting energetically, when they saw the old housekeeper of the Mu family staggering into the courtyard from outside, panting and saying, "Master, the third young master has come back from Jinling City, but it's just ・・・・・・."

"What's wrong again?" Old Man Mu asked impatiently.

The old housekeeper glanced at Mu Yan and said hesitantly: "It's just that the third young master still has a young lady by his side, I heard that she is the daughter of the Jiang family in Jinling, but that woman doesn't have the Jiang family's worship post in her hand, and there are no elders to follow, I can't be the master, you better go and have a look." ”

Old man Mu clenched his fists, if he was young, he would definitely smash the things in front of him with one punch to vent his anger, but now he just turned his head and looked at Mu Yan indifferently, and instructed with a smile: "Yan'er, don't keep up, I'll pick up Wanqing tomorrow." The butler went and fetched my whip of the thorn. ”

The old housekeeper trembled and looked at the old man Mu who was about to have a seizure, "sigh", I don't know whether to sigh or helpless, the cat went into the back room to get something, and saw the old man Mu holding a whip full of thorns on the ground twice, and he was so frightened that people shivered, and left the yard with vigorous steps.

The old housekeeper looked at Mu Yan hesitantly, and pleaded with tears: "Oh, Young Master Sun, you better hurry up and call Miss Wanqing back, the master is not serious, if you break your Uncle Feng, how can you get it, now Miss Wanqing can persuade the master." ”

Mu Yan had also seen the old man beat his father ruthlessly, and after being embarrassed for a moment, he patted the old housekeeper on the shoulder and said, "It's better not to call Wanqing, I'll go to the palace and call An Lan back." ”

At this time, Chu Wanqing went back to Cang'anlan Mansion to rest for a while, and finally couldn't rest assured that Mu Anfeng, who had just come back, quietly left the palace from the backyard with everyone on her back.

Before she could enter the courtyard, she heard the familiar sound of whipping on the ground, and the guards standing guard in the house all bowed their heads and did not dare to speak, she hurriedly quickened her pace and rushed into the courtyard.

I saw that Master Mu was twisting the thorny leather whip that she had common since childhood, and he was brutally and ferociously whipping Mu Anfeng, who was kneeling in the center of the hall, and the flesh and blood that had been whipped on his wheat-colored back that had been exposed to the scorching sun during the summer training of the army.

Mu Anfeng's face was pale, his fists clenched and he maintained a kneeling posture like a strong pine, obviously sweating in pain, but he still gritted his back molars and silently endured a qiē.

The old housekeeper looked at the scene in front of him, stamped his feet anxiously, knelt on the ground and begged Old Man Mu for mercy, seeing that his master was determined to punish Mu Anfeng, he was paralyzed on the ground in a decadent manner, and could only silently pray in his heart that Mu Yan would come back soon.

And Jiang Wanrou, who had just followed Mu Anfeng to the Mu family, had already been frightened by the battle of the old man Mu, and quietly hid in the corner of the living room, looking at the qi in front of her in horror, the blood and the damp and stuffy air were half mixed, making her want to vomit, she never thought that the old man of the Mu family would be such an unreasonable and cruel person.

Suddenly, a lightning bolt of lightning struck in the dim sky outside, illuminating all the people and things in the living room, and then soon the rain that had been holding back finally arrived.

The heavy and rushing raindrops were falling more and more urgently, Chu Wanqing stood at the door of the hall and held the door frame with her hands, and shouted anxiously: "Uncle Mu! What are you doing here? ”

Seeing that Mu Anfeng refused to even say a word of begging for mercy, the more he fought, the more angry he became, he suddenly heard Chu Wanqing's voice, the whip in his hand was beaten, and he was weakly whipped on the ground, and shouted at Chu Wanqing: "Who brought you back!" Are you tired of living?! ”

The moment Chu Wanqing saw Mu Anfeng's injury, she felt as if her heartbeat had suddenly stopped, she smashed her chest with her fist, took a deep breath, stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, coughed out of breath, and beckoned weakly: "Old housekeeper, cough cough, go and call the doctor, Uncle Mu, Ah Feng just came back from Jinling, why do you bother?" ”

This Chu Wanqing coughed, but it didn't work for ten people to persuade the old man, the stubborn old man smashed the whip in his hand on the pillars of the hall, raised his leg and kicked Mu Anfeng, beat his chest, and shouted with a beard and a face: "He has only been to Jinling for a month, and his courage has become fat." ”

pointed to Jiang Wanrou who was hiding in the corner, she looked down on the woman who intercedes and loves the most, and when it comes to the critical moment, she can't stand up to the woman who is of great use, why didn't she plead for Mu Anfeng? Snorted: "This young lady of the Jiang family ran away from marriage!" He dared to bring it back! What is the point of such scandal if it gets out? He eloped with the young lady of the Jiang family to our Jingbei City? When has my Mu family ever had such a romantic affair! ”

Chu Wanqing glanced at Jiang Wanrou's stunned appearance, she must have been frightened by Old Man Mu's whip, how could an ordinary woman see such a bloody scene?

She walked to the old man's side like a weak willow in the wind, endured the discomfort on her body, and began to pinch her shoulders and beat her back obediently: "Uncle Mu, who in Jingbei City doesn't know that I have a marriage contract with Ah Feng?" If you punish Ah Feng now, it looks like he really did something wrong to outsiders. Write a letter of worship and send Miss Jiang back to Jinling City to solve the matter, where do you need to be so easily annoyed? ”

Mu Anfeng listened to Chu Wanqing's words, half of his anger had disappeared, and when he saw Mu Anfeng's dried blood stains flowing all over the ground, he felt sorry for his little son, and said in a sullen voice: "Wanqing, you will speak for this bastard boy, you are really angry with me." ”

Chu Wanqing couldn't help coughing twice, and said with a smile: "Why don't I play two games of chess with you?" Makes you happy? ”

Old Man Mu was used to Chu Wanqing's cough, closed his eyes and said childishly: "I don't play chess with you, don't let me every time, it's better for Mu Yan." ”

Chu Wanqing followed the old man's words and said with a smile: "When Mu Yan comes back from Jinling, I will ask him to play chess with you, and now I will accompany Ah Feng, okay?" ”

Mu Laozi was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, he was surrounded by this ghost girl again, and then looked at the doctor who had been brought by the old housekeeper, how could people dare to act lightly without his instructions, and after waving his hand to signal that Mu Anfeng could be cured, he turned his head and pointed at Chu Wanqing and said, "I know that you ghost girl doesn't pretend to be me in your heart, and always thinks of him." ”

He said to Mu Anfeng, who was kneeling on the ground and didn't look up for a long time: "This Jiang girl will be handed over to me to deal with, and no one is allowed to meddle in this matter!" ”

Chu Wanqing knew very well the old man's resolute and resolute methods, and said uneasily: "Then you can send a proper team to send her back to Jinling." ”

Jiang Wanrou heard that they meant to send her away, and originally wanted to stay in Jingbei City with her ability, so she didn't leave a way back for herself when she left Jinling City.

Now that she has returned to the Jiang family like this, how can she be better? How could she tolerate a humiliating daughter like her?

Jiang Wanrou, who didn't expect this result at all, instantly turned into fear of the future in her heart, knelt on the blood stains in the hall, looked at Mu Anfeng and begged bitterly: "General Mu, I can't go back like this, I will be killed by my father, General Mu save me." ”

Mu Anfeng actually sympathized with Jiang Wanrou in his heart, so when he met her on the road, he relented and took her in.

What's more, she chose to run away from marriage because she loved herself, and after thinking about it, she still felt that it was inappropriate to send her back, and the pain in her back made him very sober, kowtow and said: "Dad, it's really inappropriate for you to send her back so suddenly, when you arrive in Jinling City, how can she marry a good family with no reputation?" In the end, the child is causing trouble in Jinling, it is better to ・・・・・・"
