Zheng Ying did not stay in the Anguo Mansion for a long time. When the matter was clear, he took his leave and left. Mu Hongsheng personally sent him out, none of the gentlemen present felt that it was inappropriate, everyone here was busier than Mu Hongsheng, according to Zheng Ying's explanation before leaving, Mr. Sun was writing a love letter, and he was going to send it to the Ministry of War to Sun Shangshu in a hurry, so it was naturally the most suitable thing for Mu Hongshang to do this kind of thing.

Mu Hongshang sent Zheng Ying all the way to the side door of the Anguo Mansion. Along the way, the two were silent, so they walked side by side, Zheng Ying was silent and did not speak, and Mu Hongshang was silent. It wasn't until the time of separation that Zheng Ying turned around and looked at Mu Hongsheng's eyes.

But he still didn't speak. just looked straight at Mu Hongsheng like this.

Zheng Ying actually wanted to persuade Mu Hongsheng, hoping that she would not be too upset, and that she would not continue to embarrass herself. He actually wanted to tell Mu Hongsheng that with him, she could rest assured that she could rely on him. But Zheng Ying didn't say anything in the end.

Those persuasions, Zheng Ying knew that Mu Hongshang didn't need them. No words could alleviate her immediate pain. And those promises and assurances, he didn't dare to say, so he could only stare at Mu Hongsheng's eyes silently.

However, such a quiet and watchful gaze was exactly what Mu Hongsheng needed. Under such a warm gaze, Mu Hongsheng's nerves, which had been tense, finally had a moment of relaxation. She tried to pull the corners of her mouth, wanting to smile at Zheng Ying and express her gratitude, but she didn't succeed anyway.

It doesn't matter if she laughs or not, Zheng Ying looked at Mu Hongsheng's eyes and could read everything she wanted to express. He finally said goodbye.

"I'm leaving." His farewell was simple and pragmatic: "You go back." If anything, I'll come again. ”

There is no superfluous word, it is as simple as that. Mu Hongshang nodded at Zheng Ying and replied, "It's late at night, slow down all the way, and I'll watch you leave." ”

Zheng Ying stopped talking, boarded the carriage in front of Mu Hongsheng, the wheels turned, and slowly walked along the bluestone road. And Mu Hongsheng stepped out of the side door of the Anguo Mansion, stood by the door, and watched Zheng Ying's carriage go away.

"Miss, go back." The steward of the Mu family stood beside Mu Hongsheng and persuaded softly: "The prince will definitely not dishonor the emperor's order and find out the matter clearly." You should take it easy and wait patiently. ”

"Hmm." Mu Hongsheng replied softly: "I believe it." ”

I believe that this sentence is lightly drifting in the wind, and I don't know who it is for.

"Let's go back." The steward sighed: "Grandma sent someone to the front yard to bring soup, Miss, you have also stayed up for a day and a night, go and drink soup, you have to take care of yourself." ”

"I know." Mu Hongsheng turned around and walked back, and replied, "I'll be fine, and I can't let the elders bother worrying about me anymore." ”

"That's right." A voice came from the corner of the courtyard, and Gu Yilan appeared by the corridor with Fang Xin: "After drinking the soup, go to rest, don't argue." The news sent to the north last night was just delivered, and no matter how fast the pigeon whistle is, it is impossible to reply to the letter at the moment, be obedient, go and rest first, maybe there will be more things tomorrow. ”29GG

"I know." Mu Hongshang nodded and replied, "I didn't plan to stay up like this all the time, in case I get sick, won't it make the elders more upset?" Sister-in-law, don't worry, Mr. Sun is writing a love letter right now, and I'm going to go to the military department with Mr. Sun and Mr. Chen, and I'll rest when I come back. ”

"Okay." Gu Yilan stretched out her hand and held Mu Hongsheng's hand: "I drank the soup first, and I have to go out later, I can't have an empty stomach." ”

"Sister-in-law will go to rest first." Mu Hongshang shook Gu Yilan's hand: "I can take care of myself, I will go to the military department tonight, I don't know how long it will be delayed, sister-in-law must not wait for me." ”

"Let's go get some soup first." Gu Yilan's footsteps paused slightly, and then she took Mu Hongsheng and continued to walk towards the small ear room in the outer study: "I still have a few words to explain to you." Tomorrow I plan to go back to my parents' house, maybe I will come back on the same day, or I may be delayed for two or three days. ”

"Tomorrow?" Mu Hongshang was stunned: "So urgent? Sister-in-law......"

"I've already told my grandmother." Gu Yilan led Mu Hongshang into the small ear room and pressed her on the chair, Fang Xin hurriedly stepped forward to open the food box on the side and brought out the soup inside.

Gu Yilan took the soup bowl, personally touched the bottom of the bowl and tested the temperature, and then handed it to Mu Hongsheng: "You listen to me while drinking soup." Today I followed my grandmother into the palace and met my grandfather on duty at the palace gate. I didn't say a few words to him, and Li Xiang came out. You know, there are so many eyes and ears in the palace, and it was difficult for me to explain some things to my grandfather, so on the way home, I told my grandmother that I wanted to go back to my mother's house. I couldn't delay it, so I thought I'd go back tomorrow. ”

"Sister-in-law is planning to reveal Lord Jiang's speculation to the scholars?" Mu Hongshang immediately grasped the point.

"Yes!" Gu Yilan nodded affirmatively: "Don't worry, according to my grandfather's cautious personality, he will never easily leak this news to others." ”

"I'm not worried about that." Mu Hongsheng shook her head: "It's just sister-in-law, if you do this, it is tantamount to forcing Scholar Gu to make up his mind to help our family now." After all, the Gu family is your maiden family, and this kind of thing is reasonable, you shouldn't be the bad guy, and you ...... in the future."

"Where can I manage it later." Gu Yilan twisted her head to the side: "I am the most suitable person." My father is the head of the household department, and it is normal for me to go back to my parents' house to ventilate the news. I did this to protect my father from being implicated, and to protect my family from being implicated, that's all. ”

"Sister-in-law." Mu Hongsheng sighed: "It's just me, what are you doing with such a hard mouth, Sister Xie is not here." ”

"Speaking of her," Gu Yilan suddenly turned her head: "Tomorrow she will probably send someone over to deliver something." I have a letter that has been handed over to the water chestnut, and tomorrow the Xie family will come, and I will just bring it back to her. According to what Lord Jiang said at noon today, the evidence about Zhao Zhiliang was in the hands of Xiao Xie before, so Xie Xiang and Xiao Xie should know the ins and outs of this matter. But I think Xie Shurou shouldn't know about it at the moment, after all, they ...... Xie family."

"It's okay...... Mu Hongsheng sighed: "Save her from being kept in the dark and worrying for us." I'm just worried...... Alas! Never mind. ”

"Don't worry," Gu Yilan gave Xie Shurou an unprecedented high evaluation: "She is actually very smart, not a reckless and impulsive person." ”
