The atmosphere in the cell was so oppressive that you could hear the sound of insects flapping their wings. Occasionally, small insects fell from the beam, and Shangguan Wan touched his numb arms, thinking that this prison cell in the capital was nothing more than that.

I don't know how long I teased the hard-shelled worm on the table, and when Shangguan Juan was yawning in a daze, he suddenly heard a messy footsteps outside.

"You are so presumptuous, you actually locked my daughter in such a place, if you scare her, you are the only one who asks!" Shangguan Rong walked all the way, and he was angry and ruined all the way. The prefect who followed behind him had a flattering smile on his face, and responded: "Yes, yes, what Master Hou taught is that the people under him are not sensible." ”

"Where's my daughter? Which cell? Why hasn't it arrived yet! Shangguan Rong said eagerly, his eyes looked around, and when he smelled the musty smell in the cell, he wrinkled his nose and raised his hand to cover it.

"It's almost there." The prefect's palms were sweating.

Shangguan Juan was sure that her father had come to save her, and hurriedly shouted, "Dad, I'm here!" ”

Shangguan Rong urged the jailer to open the door for Shangguan Juan, and Shangguan Juan, who walked out of the cell quickly and stood beside her father.

Shangguan Rong said with a distressed face: "My daughter is frightened, have these people embarrassed you?" If so, tell your father, and he will give you anger. As he spoke, he made the jailer stand in a line with the officers and soldiers who had brought him in.

"Yes, yes, Miss Shangguan, please forgive me for offending!" The prefect laughed.

Shangguan Wan waved her hand, quite aware that her father was making a fuss. I saw the prefect pointing at the jailers and reminding: "What are you doing with a pestle, why don't you apologize to Miss Shangguan soon!" ”

"Not necessarily. It's not easy for them, so don't blame them. Shangguan Wan said, before leaving, he couldn't help but say to the prefect, "The environment in this cell is too bad, my lord should send someone to clean it." ”

The prefect should be "yes".

Shangguan Juan followed Shangguan Rong and just got out of the cell when he saw a group of people blocking not far from the cell.

Seeing this, the prefect hurriedly ordered people to drive away the people who gathered to make trouble, Shangguan Juan heard the words to stop it, she knew that it was a blessing or a curse and could not be avoided, she had a clear conscience, and was about to explain to the people, but before she could speak, some people spoke up first: "Ning Houye, did you take away the suspect to shield Ling's daughter?" The life of the young lady is life, is the life of the innocent people not life? ”

The person who spoke was dressed in white, wearing a cloth hat, and dressed like a scholar.

"That's it! Your officials protect each other, is there any royal law in your eyes? This is at the feet of the Son of Heaven! Someone else followed.

Shangguan Juan bit her lip and said slowly: "I'm not a murderer......

Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted: "Let's not listen to your quibbles!" If you don't have a weak heart, why do you want to run away? ”

"Daughter, don't say more, go with Dad." Shangguan Rong felt sorry for his daughter, and couldn't bear to let everyone question her, he pulled Shangguan Juan to get into the carriage, who knew that the people rushed up, pulling and not wanting them to leave, and called Shangguan Juan a "murderer".

In the panic, Shangguan Juan was grabbed by someone on the hairpin on her head, she reacted quickly and reached out to cover it, the hero did not eat the immediate loss, and took advantage of the officers and soldiers dragging the irritable people for him, and slipped into the carriage.

On the way back to the Hou Mansion, Shangguan Juan was in a bad mood, and Shangguan Rong reassured: "Daughter, don't worry, Dad will definitely give you justice!" ”

After the incident, the business of Eight Immortals Restaurant plummeted, and even the takeaway business was affected. Some of the people threw rotten eggs at the restaurant, some deliberately didn't give money after eating, and even insulted the Hou Mansion, and when the news reached Shangguan Juan's ears, she was even more depressed.

After calming down in the room for an hour, Shangguan Juan remembered that he had never seen Mu Chenyu, and called tassel vanilla to ask.

The tassel shook his head, and vanilla stamped his feet.

Vanilla complained angrily: "Speaking of Xiao Jiu, I'm angry, Miss, you have such a big thing, but he doesn't know where to go to be happy with oil on the soles of his feet, and there is no news so far." ”

Shangguan Wan's head sank even more when he heard this, and he rubbed his temples: "Regardless of him, I want to rest for a while, you guys go out first." ”

After saying that, she went to the couch and fell asleep.

When Shangguan Juan woke up, it was already nightfall. The lanterns of Ninghou Mansion were bright, vanilla and tassels were sitting in the courtyard, one was staring at the gate of the courtyard with melon seeds, and the other was holding a sword and looking up to admire the moon.

Finally, someone came at the gate of the courtyard.

I saw Mu Chenyu coming back from outside, vanilla and tassel saw the comer, stood up, one threw away the melon seeds and clapped his hands, and the other looked at Mu Chenyu with a cold face.

Vanilla crossed her arms, narrowed her eyes and said sarcastically, "You still know to come back?" The cobwebs in the courtyard are all round and round! ”

"Xiao Jiu, where have you been?" There was doubt in the tassel's eyes, although it was a light question, but it was more poignant than Vanilla's words.

Mu Chenyu heard the sarcasm and suspicion of the two of them, and his face sank: "Let me see Miss first, I have something to say to Miss." ”

"Miss has already rested, and Miss may not be happy to see you, so let's talk about something tomorrow." Vanilla blocked his way.

Mu Chenyu frowned, and there was a cold breath in his eyes: "Get out of the way." ”

"Don't." Vanilla stretched out his hands to block his path, thinking that he had done something wrong. Thinking of Shangguan Juan's grievances in the afternoon, she was even more angry with Chenyu. If Mu Chenyu is here, he may be able to protect Miss. Realizing her thoughts, Vanilla hurriedly denied it in her heart.

Strange, how could she have such an idea...... It must be that Xiao Jiu has been by Miss's side for too long, she thought to herself.

She pulled the tassel to block Mu Chenyu's way, glared at Mu Chenyu and said, "With us here, don't you want to see Miss." ”

"I've got something to do, get out of the way." Mu Chenyu raised his eyes and stared at them, although it was only six short words, the aura emanating from his body made people scared from the heart.

Vanilla was so frightened that her heartbeat seemed to miss a beat, she swallowed her saliva, and unconsciously wanted to make way for Mu Chenyu. She subconsciously took two steps to the side, and when the tassel saw this, she hesitated for a moment and gave way to Mu Chenyu.

After Mu Chenyu left, the two complained to each other: "Why didn't you stop him?" ”

Realizing that Mu Chenyu had gone away, the two hurriedly raised their heels.

When he came to Shangguan Juan's door, Mu Chenyu was about to step forward and knock on the door, but before his hand fell, the door opened from the inside.

Shangguan Wan looked tired, and when she saw Mu Chenyu, she had an indescribable strange feeling in her heart, she motioned for the three of them to come in, turned around and returned to the house, and sat down at the table.

"Where have you been?" Xu just woke up, Shangguan Juan didn't even speak lazily, and looked at him with his eyelids slightly raised.
