Not long after, the news that Shangguan Juan and Mu Chenyu were sleeping in the same room suddenly spread in the Hou Mansion. The talkative old women in the house are all talking quietly.

"Miss is too disliked, as the future princess, she actually has a relationship with a little scholar, this is ...... How old is this Xiao Jiu, and the young lady doesn't even let go of the little baby. Mrs. Chen, who was washing clothes in the backyard, said.

Aunt Qin, who was watering and washing the floor, heard this, and looked scared: "Don't say it, if the master knows, we won't have any good fruit to eat!" ”

"What are you afraid of, my lord may be sleeping soundly at which aunt at this moment." Mrs. Chen said fearlessly.

"Yes. Do you sit up straight and are you afraid that others will not be able to say it? This young lady is so ashamed at a young age, if the prince wakes up, I'm afraid that it's too late to spit on her, who will marry her! Another old woman sweeping the floor answered.

"Ahem!" A cough came, and the old woman who spoke was almost choked by her own saliva, and the three of them stiffened to look for the sound, only to see the housekeeper standing on the steps with a gloomy face, and he took two steps to the side, revealing Ning Hou standing behind him.

The three mothers-in-law were so frightened that tears rolled out of their eyes, and they hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted with a sad face.

Shangguan Rong's face was ugly, and he commanded in a deep voice: "Come on, drag these people out who chew the root of their tongues, and let the king of Hades tell them what to say and what not to say." ”

There were a lot of lively people in the courtyard, and when they learned that the old man was furious because of this, they all closed their mouths, and they didn't dare to say a word about Shangguan Juan. Aunt Shen heard about Shangguan Rong's hair on the person who chewed the root of her tongue, and subconsciously felt that her tongue hurt, and raised her hand to cover her tongue.

Shangguan Rong strode to the door of Shangguan Juan, and Vanilla stepped forward and lowered her head and said, "Master, Miss has just fallen asleep." ”

Shangguan Rong frowned, and said with his hands: "What about Xiao Jiu?" Tell him to come to me. ”

Soon, Vanilla called Mu Chenyu out of the room. Shangguan Rong asked with a calm face, "What happened last night?" Why is Wan'er like this? ”

"Yesterday Miss went with us to check and buy arsenic. Frost's family, after finding a suspicious person, Miss took us to protect the family late at night, and in the end the family was not spared, and was shot dead on the spot, in front of Miss, Miss was frightened and couldn't sleep. Mu Chenyu said truthfully.

"How can this be true? Even Miss can't protect it well, what's the use of me keeping you! Shangguan Rong was furious.

Mu Chenyu said loudly: "Master Hou, this matter is a small dereliction of duty, but at the moment, the little one thinks that it is important to wash away the grievances for Miss first." ”

"What can you do?" Shangguan Rong was curious, his daughter had been sad in the past few days, he knew it, but he had no way to return her innocence.

Mu Chenyu arched his hand: "There is no way for the time being." It's just that, Master Hou, this matter is caused by counterfeit money, and the mastermind behind the sale of counterfeit money must be strong, so Miss and we will check one step, and the clues will be cut off one step, and now it is still endangering Miss's safety, if you can find out the mastermind behind the sale of counterfeit money, the case will be closed, and you will be able to prove Miss's innocence. ”

Shangguan Rong's thick eyebrows locked slightly, he had heard Wan'er mention this, but Mu Chenyu talked about it with himself, was it really just for Wan'er? Glancing at Mu Chenyu, Shangguan Rong snorted coldly, didn't say much, explained a few words, asked him to take care of Shangguan Juan, and strode away with his hands.

In Shangguan Juan's boudoir......

In the gloomy Mu Mansion, Shangguan Juan took Mu Chenyu and said as he walked: "Xiao Jiu, be careful." ”

The rats under her feet fled frantically, her ears were filled with the sound of rats, Shangguan Wan looked underground with a lantern, and saw a thin stream of blood on the ground, and the rats all ran along this stall of blood.

Realizing that something was wrong, although he was stunned, Shangguan Juan still pulled Mu Chenyu's sleeve and said, "Let's take a look." ”

The two followed the rats to the courtyard of the Mu Mansion, and saw the dead Mu Ping and his wife standing not far away, and Mu Ping said, "Miss Shangguan, I have something to say to you." ”

Shangguan Juan was overjoyed, was it just his own dream before? She walked quickly towards Mu Ping, and when she was nodding, an arrow suddenly hit Mu Ping's throat, and blood splattered on her face again. Shangguan Juan turned sideways and saw Mu Ping's wives fall to the ground one after another.

She was so frightened that she hurriedly turned around, and was about to ask Mu Chenyu to take her away, when she saw an arrow shooting at the back of Mu Chenyu's neck in the dark night. Shangguan Wan glared, shook his head and said "Don't", while pushing Mu Chenyu away to block the arrow for him. Tears and blood splattered at the same time.

"Don't!" Shangguan Juan was so frightened that she sat up, she looked around in fright, saw that she was in her room, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Chenyu took her into her arms distressedly, and comforted her softly: "It's just a dream, don't be afraid." ”

Shangguan Wan nodded, shook his head again, and tears rolled in his eyes.

"It's really just a dream, don't worry, no one dares to hurt you with me." Mu Chenyu said, with a resolute look in his eyes.

Shangguan Juan was moved when she heard this, thinking of her dream, she felt angry again, she looked up at Mu Chenyu with tears in her eyes and said, "Who wants you to protect me, I want you to protect yourself!" ”

Mu Chenyu had a gentle and pitying look in her eyes, but she didn't expect that she would think about herself at this time.

Vanilla and Tassel came in from outside the door, and when they saw the two who not only hugged each other, but also spoke a little ambiguously, Vanilla shook her head, couldn't look at it, and said: I want you to protect yourself...... Miss, how can you say such a sensual thing, and Xiao Jiu, how can you still look very useful. You guys, can you give us peace of mind? ”

"Yes." The tassel nodded in agreement.

Vanilla said again: "Miss, don't you know, Xiao Jiu stayed in your room last night and didn't come out, and there were people in the house talking about it this morning, and the news reached the ears of the master, and the master was furious and directly executed the old women who chewed the root of their tongues." I said you, although you are nothing, but in the eyes of those who care, it is a good topic, you still have to keep your distance, what if you are seen and talk nonsense! ”

She looked like "the old mother broke her heart" and motioned for Tassel to separate the two of them with her.

Shangguan Juan hadn't relented yet, and snorted: "I'm scared......"

Vanilla had a firm attitude, and wanted to pull them away for her sake, and was about to step forward, when she heard Shangguan Wan say angrily: "Xiao Jiu is just a child, what's wrong with being in the same room with me, I really don't know what those people think." How could they think I would do it to a child......"

Shangguan Juan's face was weak and pitiful.

Vanilla reminded: "Miss, don't forget, you are still a 'murderer'. ”

When Shangguan Juan heard this, she suddenly lost her mood, and she didn't want to listen to Vanilla's continued reminder, so she said pitifully: "Go and help me fetch water, I want to wash." ”
