Chapter 905: Steep Branch

Sometimes, it's too much to figure out the culprit.

The city lord's wife made such a scene, naturally she couldn't get anything, but she was convicted because of the exposure of the matter, and there was no room for change.

Coldly watched the city lord's wife and the third lady being taken away, but there was no one to intercede for them.

Mu Ling couldn't help but sigh, the popularity of this mother and daughter is really not very good.

"Third master, look at ......"

The city lord seemed to be much older in an instant, and he looked a little tired, but he still had to turn around and ask Liang Chu about his arrangements.

Now the lives of the City Lord's Mansion family are tied to this lord's body.

Liang Chu glanced at him, but just waved his hand: "If you are not virtuous to marry a wife, you will not be filial and a woman will not be a lady, and the city lord should keep his eyes open in the future." ”

"Yes, yes......"

"I see that you are tired of this Peerless City, after this case is settled, you can go to another place!"

"Yes...... Thanks, Lord Long. The city lord was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, knelt down and bowed in the direction of the capital.

Liang Chu happened to be standing in that direction, so it wouldn't make people suspicious.

"Alright, let's all disperse. This case will be settled in two days, and today we will pick some fruit, so go down and do your own thing. ”

"Yes."

The city lord breathed a sigh of relief, gave others a look, and then retreated from Liang Chu.

The orchard, which was still very lively, suddenly fell silent.

Yang Shuyuan was on the side, biting her lower lip hesitantly, as if she had something to say.

Mu Ling turned his head to see it, and couldn't help laughing: "You should be happy, those two mothers and daughters deserve it, and this time it is not because they are angry for you." ”

"Thank you to the third master and Sister Ling for their great kindness, but they are still my relatives after all, and this time they are convicted, it is not very comfortable." Yang Shuyuan sighed lightly, her tone was still soft, but there was a faint sadness at this time.

This is a very gentle girl, but she is worthy of being born and raised in this era.

Mu Ling smiled and shook his head, but stopped talking.

Yang Shuyuan's idea is very good, she is such a character, there is no need to instill in her any thoughts of 'you are unkind and unjust'.

But looking at the sadness in her eyebrows, it seemed that she couldn't let go of what happened this time.

At that time, Mu Ling didn't care, but he didn't expect that things would develop to such a point later.

This orchard in the City Lord's Mansion, Mu Ling has been in love with it since the first day, and at this time he is preparing to go back, so he naturally picks more.

After a day's work, there are a few boxes.

"These will be sent to the capital, and a few of their children are in the capital, I'm afraid they miss it tightly." Mu Ling picked out the fruit and set it aside.

Liang Chu smiled and watched from the sidelines, occasionally helping to hand over a fruit.

By the time the two of them finished their work, it was already early.

A maid came from the front yard of the City Lord's Mansion and waited respectfully: "Dinner has been arranged, please invite the third master and his wife to the front hall for dinner." ”

"Let's go, let's have dinner first, these fruits will be carried out and loaded on the ship later tomorrow morning, and the boat can be sailed tonight, saving waste of time." Mu Ling clapped his hands and stood up.

The delivery of fresh food is not delayed for a moment, not to mention that in this era of underdeveloped transportation, the faster the better.

Liang Chu nodded, gestured to the dark guards, and told them to make arrangements.

The two of them arrived at the front hall, and after sitting down, they found that the people in the house seemed to be busier than before, although it was a little strange, but they didn't say anything.

Only Mu Ling picked up the chopsticks and asked, "What about your eldest lady?" ”

"The young masters are back today, and the eldest lady is dining with the young masters in the side hall at this time!" One of the maids replied.

"Young Master?" Mu Ling frowned slightly.

If she hadn't remembered wrong, one of the young masters in the City Lord's Mansion was from the City Lord's wife, who was ranked fifth in the mansion, and the others were all concubines.

They didn't see those young masters when they came, and they heard that they went to the academy to study, but they didn't come back during the holidays, I'm afraid they came back for the city lord's wife.

However, the matter of the city lord's wife has long been a foregone conclusion, and even if they come back, they can't change it.

At this time, in the side hall, the people laid out the food, and then retreated to the side and did not dare to stand honestly, one by one they hung their heads and did not dare to speak.

Yang Shuyuan took the chopsticks, slowly and calmly picked up the dishes and ate them, ignoring the younger brothers.

A young man sitting opposite her was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a pair of narrow Danfeng eyes that were a little mean, pursed his lips at this time, and stared at the person opposite him with suppressed anger.

Yang Shuyuan only thought that he hadn't seen it, and he would eat when he should eat.

"Click-"

After a while, the young man suddenly threw away the chopsticks in his hand, and the jade chopsticks stepped over several plates, and lay in the middle of the dishes in embarrassment, making everyone stop the chopsticks.

Yang Shuyuan put down the chopsticks, took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and said softly: "I've eaten it, and the younger brothers use it slowly." ”

"Humph! Airs! ”

"Fifth brother." Yang Shuyuan looked up at the man opposite, "Since you're back, I'll go to the study to find my father later, and so will my younger brothers." ”

Looking at the few cousins around him, Yang Shuyuan did not have any emotion in his eyes, and his expression was still gentle and calm.

These cousins have been close to the city lord's wife since they were children, and now they are coming back with the third brother, just to support him and make trouble for her.

The one on the opposite side is the fifth young master in the mansion, the eldest son of the city lord. This time I came back only because I got the letter, and my sister and mother were in trouble, so I rushed here.

At this time, hearing Yang Shuyuan's words, the fifth young master became more and more annoyed: "You are used to being a good person now, if you didn't make trouble with your mother and sister, how could you end up in such a field?" I've heard that you have a good relationship with that mysterious third lady, and you must be the one who picked up this matter! ”

"The fifth brother is a scholar, and he should know that he has all the evidence for doing things." Yang Shuyuan stood up, "Mother and third sister are fathers. They were convicted not because someone intended to frame them, but because they deserved it. Thinking about the deeds done by his mother and third sister, the fifth brother can also know some of them, but the fifth brother should not say these words in front of his father, if he is not guilty of the same crime, it will disgrace the reputation of the scholar! ”

"Rhetoric! It's just that you're used to saying it, but now you've finally shown your true colors! The fifth young master's face was hideous, and he was about to pounce when he stood up.

Yang Shuyuan was not afraid, so she simply turned around and walked out: "Whatever you think, my father will be transferred out of Wushuang City soon, do you like to go or not!" ”

She has no feelings for this half-brother.
