Chapter 171: When will I return?
The tea bowl made Mu Dianke fall, and Su Wei let people get a new one. Only half of the tea was drunk, and Mu Zhongcheng hurried over.
To his surprise, the expected tension did not materialize.
Mu Dianke and Su Wei sat opposite each other on both sides of the long case, Su Wei was talking, Mu Dianke was holding the tea bowl, it was about too hot, shaking slowly, like a pair of old friends, eating tea and gossiping.
Mu Zhongcheng chuckled in his heart.
Far from reassuring him, this situation made him more uneasy.
After Mu Dianke returned to Luoyang, he and Mu Gang both added several gray hairs. In addition to appeasing the group of uneasy people in the clan, it is also necessary to prevent Mu Dian from jumping out to make something happen at some point.
When other people's girls make trouble, it is nothing more than a verbal wrestling, scratching their faces and pulling a few hairs to the sky. Mu Dian can make a move, but it is a major event that kills people.
Clear-eyed people know that she wants to deal with Su Wei and then quickly, it is normal for the two sides to fight to the death, and there is no reason to sit together and drink tea - Mu Zhongcheng is not only afraid that Mu Dian will make trouble, but also afraid that she will be calm. As soon as she calmed down, she was about to make a bigger move.
The two of them went out the door together.
Mu Zhongcheng originally wanted to persuade Mu Dian to stop, but after thinking about it, these words were also pale. He was too embarrassed to open his mouth, so he fell silent.
"Uncle, I heard that the second aunt hanged herself." Mu Dianke spoke first.
"Hmm." Mu Zhongcheng responded, and his attitude was evasive.
"Why?" Mu Dianke carefully observed Mu Zhongcheng's face, and he couldn't respond for a while, and then asked, "Is what Xu Younan said true?" β
Mu Zhongcheng was furious, "Xu Younan, that shameless villain, but you believe him?" He realized that he was overly excited, and he calmed his mind and said coldly, "Didn't you say it yourself, this person is full of nonsense and stinks." The rumors stopped at the wise man, and I thought he was a smart child. β
His words were extremely strong, but Mu Dian was not afraid of him.
"Rumors don't have to be false." She looked at the shining stars day by day, and said indifferently, "There are really a lot of rumors this year. The person who said that people are always said, Mu Cangping is busy spreading rumors about other families in the capital, but can he know that thousands of miles away, his own family affairs are also being talked about? β
That's another thing.
Mu Zhongcheng is also having a headache about this matter.
The rumors outside were suppressed by Mu Gang, but the people in the house all had eyes and ears, and Mu Lan made a fuss without any scruples, and the family's faces were not good-looking.
But Mu Zijian doesn't care about himself, he is an uncle, and it is not good to meddle in the affairs of his nephew's back house.
"What's your solution?" Mu Zhongcheng asked.
Mu Dianke took the initiative to talk to him about this matter, definitely not to taunt him for gloating.
"It is better to raise the soup to stop the boiling, than to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle."
"Not then." Mu Zhongcheng said: "Your eldest brother is indifferent to her now, but in the end, the love for many years is not peeled off in a moment." There is also Zijin, this child is affectionate, although it is a break, it may not care about her life or death. For a Mu Lan, he was unfamiliar with his uncles and nephews and sisters, and the gains outweighed the losses. β
"It's not that you have to kill her. You can teach her a lesson. Mu Dianke said coldly: "She still can't recognize her identity, and you were too indulgent to her in the past." The adopted daughter is not a daughter, and the daughter can still be killed casually - what does she rely on for such unscrupulous pretentiousness? β
"How do you want to teach her?"
"Let her memorize Cheng Zhuyan and Tu Xuan's backs, and don't pull my second brother in."
"It can't be." Mu Zhongcheng said: "She has no motive, and she doesn't have that much wrist strength. β
There was a sudden silence.
Mu Zhongcheng asked: "Who killed Cheng Zhuyan and Tu Xuanbei?" Don't say you don't know, I know you did it. β
"Zhao Qingyi."
Mu Dian can spit out words lightly, but Mu Zhongcheng was shocked: How could it be him?
"Uncle can ask the eldest brother for details, as for the evidence, I don't have it. I think Uncle can't find anything when he goes to collect evidence now. This person is thoughtful, and he can think of using the feelings of our brother and sister to blame the second brother, and it is difficult to ensure that there is no other backhand. Instead of fighting snakes, there are more accidental injuries. If you want to take the second brother out now, the only way to do it is to muddy the water. β
Mu Dianke paused, "As for whether Mu Lan has a motive to kill and whether she has the ability to do so, why don't you discuss with the big housekeeper before drawing conclusions." β
Mu Gang is more familiar with the affairs of the inner house than him, and he is even more good at making people's hearts.
Mu Dian can be regarded as having figured out these people.
The lark has been flying away, and the night wind is rising, Mu Dianke teased his ear, "There are many difficult things in the world, and things are man-made." She said lightly.
The girl lowered her eyebrows and was quiet, her wrists swept the clouds, who would have thought that she was lightly arranging a conspiracy to blame the trouble.
Xu is the autumn night breeze is too cool, and a slight chill rises in Mu Zhongcheng's heart.
"Teach Mu Lan a lesson, you can use other methods." Mu Zhongcheng said, "According to what you said, the more the water is stirred, the more muddy it is, it is not a good thing for Mu Men." β
"Is Mumen still thinking about it?"
Mu Dianke turned his head and looked at Mu Zhongcheng and smiled, his smile was cool and a little naΓ―ve.
"Uncle can refuse. But I think that the uncle and the housekeeper are both old and stable people, and their methods should be much gentler than mine. β
***
"That's the real madness." Mu Gangti knocked on the edge of the bowl, "There was that scene a few days ago, and it really had another plan." One of the links in the plan is to invite Cheng Zhuyan into the urn. β
He was busier than Mu Zhongcheng, he had just arrived home and sat under the lamp to eat a bowl of boiled noodles in white water.
In the past, the days in the Qinggu Valley were bitter, three meals were more green vegetables and tofu, and then he went out of the valley with Mu Cangping, and when the days were better, he took revenge to fill his tongue desires, specializing in the fat, sweet and flavorful things, and ate himself fat in a circle.
Over the years, I have also been tired of eating, and whether it is clothing or food, I have begun to worship simplicity and return to simplicity.
About people always have a chasing mentality, what is lacking, what is good. If you have it, you don't care.
The two didn't close the door when they spoke, Shu Yi walked past the door with a stack of neat clothes, saw Mu Zhongcheng, bowed and bowed, and said, "The second master is here." β
Mu Zhongcheng nodded.
Shu Yi's identity is somewhat special.
After Jin Lianyin passed away, Mu Cangping did not remarry, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, but half of the time did not return to Canglan Courtyard, and lived in the Langyuan next to it. The flowers and plants in the garden used to be taken care of by Jin Lianyin, but after no one picked them up, they grew and withered, and within two years, they became a barren grass garden.
Mu Cangping later went out, brought Shu Yi back from nowhere, and put him in Langyuan to play with flowers and plants, and sometimes took care of his daily life.
Everyone in the house defaulted that Shu Yi was with Mu Cangping, but several years have passed, and Mu Cangping has not seen her give her a name.
Shu Yi is also an indisputable person, his mind is all about playing with flowers and plants, and he is indifferent to everything. Seeing that Mu Zhongcheng and Mu Zijian are brothers and sisters, they are also dealing with themselves as domestic servants, and they are not arrogant because they are the people around Mu Cangping.
It was Mu Zijian who didn't dislike her, but he wasn't enthusiastic either. Every man lives his own day, and does not disturb one another.
Because of Mu Dianke's words, Mu Zhongcheng was a little restless tonight, and when he saw Shu Yi, he also felt that his heart was not good.
After she had passed, she continued to speak to Mugan, "...... Listening to her words, Zijian knows the inside story of the killing of Cheng Zhuyan and Tu Xuanbei, and I will ask him again tomorrow morning. But tonight's incident made me very uneasy. Okay, what did she go to Su Wei for, what could they talk about? β
"What if she just wants us to think she has something to talk to Su Wei?" Mu Gang picked up a chopstick pickle, but felt that it was tasteless, and put it down again.
He disturbed the two siblings Mu Ziyan and Mu Dianke for a while, and he was also a little tired: "Our people are staring at her, and she knows it very well. As soon as she moved, Mumen kept guessing. So she wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone, just like dealing with Cheng Zhuyan, she didn't do it herself, and let us clean up Su Wei for her. β
It's not impossible.
But Mu Zhongcheng always felt that it was not so simple. Mu Dian really has some schemes, and he won't let them see through it at a glance.
He really hoped that Mu Cangping would come back soon.
