Early in the morning, a pair of crumpled hands vigorously pushed open the door, regardless of the obstruction of others, and forcibly broke into Chenyou's room.

"Eh, Mrs. Ning, you can't just break in."

"Why can't Mrs. Ben go in, are your adults brave enough to hide my daughter, not brave enough to come out to meet people?"

The angry woman pushed Ah Zong away with one hand, walked straight to the bed with the quilt bulging, pointed at it and scolded: "Your surname is Chen, right, you are still a big official, do you want face?" My little sister and Dongfang Gongzi have a marriage contract, you still forced her to stay here for the night, you ruined my daughter's body, how are you responsible, woo woo... ”

Ah Zong looked at the crying Mother Ning with an embarrassed face, he had already heard about Lord Chenyou and Miss Ning, and now the two of them were 'cooked with raw rice', and they were caught by someone's mother-in-law, which was really enough.

"Ahem... Mrs. Ning, since the matter has come to this, you might as well fulfill Miss Ning and our family, besides, you are standing and making trouble, wait a while, if you provoke other colleagues to gather here, let them see Lord Chenyou and Miss Ning naked opposite each other, how embarrassing it is. ”

Mother Ning was stunned, her eyes were full of tears, and her lips trembled and she repeated: "Naked and opposite..."

"Don't worry, my family is very single-minded, serious in work, and must be a good son-in-law, you can rest assured that you will wait outside, and wait for them to get dressed and come out to see you."

Ah Zong's kind advice provoked Ning's mother to collapse, and she turned her head sharply and scolded.

"What kind of good son-in-law is he Chenyou, Mrs. Ben can inquire in the market, and he is the only one left in his family, I don't know if it is the fate of the lonely star, and the whole family is killed, and the annual salary is a few thousand taels of silver, can it be compared with the family background of Dongfang Quanyue? The oil that flowed from between his fingernails was more than what he was holding. ”

"That's enough."

The angry Ning Xiaoxiao suddenly lifted the quilt, revealing her face, and Ning's mother looked at her son on Chen's right bed in amazement, and her chin fell to the ground.

"You, you, you, what a sin, it's not enough for this damn Chenyou to spoil my daughter, even my son won't let go, goddamn broom star, give me peace back-"

Ning Xiaoxiao held her forehead with a headache, and was about to explain, but as soon as she turned around, she saw Chen You, who was standing at the door, turned around and went out.

"Tatsuyo-sama?"

Hearing this, Ning Mu turned around with a hideous face, like a beast ready to bite at any time.

"Mother, what you said was too much, we studied the case last night, we were too tired for a while, and we fell asleep, so Lord Chenyou let Master Ben sleep in the bed, as for my sister, shouldn't she have gone home a long time ago?" Ning Xiaoxiao stopped her angrily.

"Your sister hasn't been home, otherwise, would your mother be so shameless and ask for someone?" Mother Ning raised her sleeves to wipe her tears, and said aggrievedly.

"Isn't my little sister catching fast? Maybe it's in the Yamen? Ning Xiaoxiao tightened her clothes and lowered her head to put on her boots.

"This, in the middle of the night, why did she go back to the yamen?"

Mother Ning suddenly felt a little at a loss.

"Didn't the main city say that it was going to hold a fireworks festival, maybe my little sister was preparing to deploy in the yamen, she is so strong, do you still have to worry about her?"

"What are you talking about, you kid, in case she meets a bad guy."

"You're still worried, if you meet the bad guy of your sister, it's still a question of whether you can survive." Ning Xiaoxiao shook her long hair seductively and snorted coldly.

"But..."

"Don't." Ning Xiaoxiao stopped at the door, turned her head and instructed Ah Zong: "Lord Chenyou is right, in a place like the Criminal Department, you should not bring your family members indiscriminately, next time, if you see my mother at the door, it doesn't matter, don't let her in." ”

"Yes, sir." Ah Zong nodded respectfully.

Mother Ning turned her head in astonishment, looked at her indifferent son, and was stunned.

What did her son mean by that look?

"Mrs. Ning, Mrs. Ning?"

Ah Zong shouted at her a lot, and after listening to Fang Cai's words, if she wasn't Lord Ning's mother-in-law, he wouldn't want to give a good face a long time ago, and he actually said this about Lord Chenyou.

"If there is nothing else, please go out, don't let the humble position be embarrassed."

Until they were 'sent' out of the door of the Punishment Department, the women did not understand why they had to treat themselves like this.

"Why don't even my son understand me, I didn't do anything wrong at all."

*

The lively fireworks festival is coming day by day, and the people who are festive have crowded onto the streets, shuttling through the streets with lanterns and windmills in hand.

The stunned mother wandered the streets, wanting to try her luck and see if she could meet her daughter on patrol.

"Yo, isn't this Lord Ning's mother-in-law?"

Hearing this, Mother Ning turned her head and looked at the woman setting up the stall in surprise.

"You are Mrs. Cai who buys vegetables in the market, Mrs. Ben knows you, I heard that the main city will hold a fireworks festival tonight, why don't you take the opportunity to take a break?"

Aunt Cai waved her hand familiarly and said:

"No, these young people's festivals are not suitable for me, my son is preparing to take the test, so I plan to set up a stall for a few more days and prepare some silver for him.

"You are so good to your son, alas, poor Mrs. Ben has done so much for her son and daughter, and thinks so much, they don't appreciate it, and they blame me in turn."

Aunt Cai saw that Ning's mother was about to cry, so she hurriedly pulled her over the stall, and said calmly: "Mrs. Ning, if you have any difficulties, don't be afraid to say it directly, we are both mothers, so we naturally understand you." ”

"Mrs. Cai, you don't know, Mrs. Ben was originally a lady of everyone, and she married my poor husband despite the opposition of her parents.

She wiped her tears as she spoke, and said with a red nose:

"I have to pour tea to my mother-in-law in the morning, feed the pigs, take care of the housework, and then I got pregnant with a child, and I have to take care of the child while working, my father-in-law is very good, but every time he takes care of the child, my mother-in-law doesn't give a good face when she sees it, such a day, Mrs. Ben has lived for a full thirty years, I don't want my daughter to marry a poor man, what's wrong?"

"I don't want my daughter to live this kind of hard life and repeat the mistakes of the past, why don't they understand me, don't understand me?"

Aunt Cai raised her hand, gently swept Mrs. Ning's back, and comforted her softly: "You're right, it's that they are young, and they don't understand." ”

"Now, they are good, they all come to blame me, saying that my mother is mean, saying that my mother talks excessively, yes, everything is my fault, it is my fault."

Aunt Cai saw her crying more and more, worried that she would not be able to think about it.

"Both of our families are sons, I may not understand your situation, to be honest, my son is older, he has his own world, if our parents are capable, they can still help, if they really can't do anything, watch them work hard, isn't it good."

The cold wind gently blew the colorful windmills on the stall, and Aunt Cai couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the crowd of people coming and going.

"Which parent doesn't want their children to be rich and prosperous, but if my beggar really can't get famous, so what, find an errand, can't you still live well, you, want to open a little, believe in your daughter's vision, I have seen Ning Yu a few times, she is a good person, and she is kind-hearted, can such a person still marry poorly, you are willing, God doesn't want to."

With tears in her eyes, Mother Ning nodded silently.

"Thank you, it's been a long time since anyone has listened to Mrs. Ben say so much from the bottom of her heart, Mrs. Ben will help you buy a few windmills."

"No, no, if you like it, this windmill will be given to you, you take it and walk by the bridge, and then you will see the fireworks and make you feel better"

After that, Aunt Cai diligently stuffed a windmill in Ning's mother's hand, Ning's mother smiled and nodded, then turned around and went to the crowd.

As soon as she walked to the alley, a tall figure in green clothes attracted her attention, she held the windmill in her hand, and shouted suspiciously: "Ning cute? Is it my little sister? ”

The other party silently turned sideways, under the dark alley, Ning's mother couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly, but she recognized the hairpin on the top of her head, as if it was her daughter's.

The other party glanced at her, then turned around casually, and walked into the depths of the alley, with a big step, as if in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the darkness.

"Cute, is it a mother? Don't go, wait for my mother..."Mother Ning couldn't care about anything, and hurriedly stepped forward, shouting and chasing after her.

The moon is very dark tonight, and the whole main street is lit by lanterns, especially this kind of alley that no one cares about, black as an ink fountain, as soon as people walk in, let alone the road, even their own figures seem to be swallowed by the darkness.

Soon, Ning Mu felt that something was wrong, and the closer she got to the depths of the alley, the stronger the choking smell became, and she stopped in place and sniffed vigorously.

Oops, it's fire oil.

"Little sister, are you investigating some big case? Then my mother won't hinder you, my mother will go home and wait for you first. ”

The woman was just about to turn around when a faint light appeared in front of the corner, and the tall figure in green clothes walked silently with a lantern.

Ning Mu raised her eyes in surprise, looking at the other party's exposed half of her face, and was suddenly shocked.

"No, it's not our little sister, it's Mrs. Ben who recognized the wrong person, I'll go, I'll go..."

The other party said coldly, in a dialect she didn't understand, and raised the firewood towards her.

At this moment, the gorgeous fireworks of the main city jumped into the sky, illuminating the entire main city, and Ning Mu was surprised to see the faces of the people who came, as well as the dozens of barrels of fire oil that he hid at the end of the alley.

Ning's mother, who had weak legs, covered her trembling lips with her hands and didn't dare to say anything.

At this time, her scalp was numb, and she only wanted to escape.

The person in front of him bought so much fire oil, it was definitely not to ward off the cold winter, he was probably the arsonist who set fire to the mountain.

The figure was getting closer, and the footsteps were ringing like a deadly bell, ringing continuously, at the moment when someone came waving the firewood.

Ning's mother thought of the two people she missed the most - the children she loved in this life, but was angry.

Xiaoxiao, cute, my mother won't be able to accompany you in the future.

Suddenly, there was a sound of knives, and the firewood did not fall as expected, but was cut in two and fell to the ground.

Mother Ning opened her eyes in surprise, and the snow-white knife was only a millimeter away from the top of her head.

"You, are you..."The woman looked at the person holding the firewood for her in a daze, and called out his name, "You are Lord Chen from the Criminal Department?" ”

"It's this official, Mrs. Ning, you find a way out first, it's safer outside." Chen You, who was waiting for the battle, looked at the man in Tsing Yi with a serious expression, not daring to divert his gaze casually.

At this time, fireworks roared in the sky, and colorful light illuminated the faces of the people in Tsing Yi.

"That lady Ben left first, you have to be careful, this person is likely to be the arsonist who set fire to the mountain."

"I know."

As soon as Ning's mother turned around, she saw Ning Xiaoxiao, who was carrying a lantern, leaning against the wall, waiting to watch a good show.

Suddenly shouted in surprise: "Xiaoxiao, my mother is really scared to death, why don't you come to save me?" ”

"What are you afraid of, your future son-in-law is still there, and the murderer can't hurt a single hair of you."

"So, you already know who the murderer is?" Mother Ning was surprised.
