Chapter 40: Killing the Steward of the Forest
Seeing Steward Lin in the yard, the little guy who found the belly pocket suddenly became a little anxious, he hurriedly looked at Mu Qingshan and Liu Xiang, with a flattering posture, as if he was afraid that Steward Lin would snatch the things from Mu Qing's singer.
"Master, madam, this thing is not ordinary at first glance, look at this fabric, this gold thread, this is a small search from Steward Lin's room!" The little guy covered his mouth with one hand, his voice was lowered, and his eyes looked at Mu Qingshan and Liu Xiang with monkey spirits.
"Steward Lin has not married yet, how can there be such a woman's private affairs? It's so precious, it must have come from the wrong way, and most of it was stolen by him! The little girl's eyes flashed, and there was a hint of ambiguity, and he said his guess.
"Bold! You little guy, dare to talk about our housekeeper of Mu Mansion like this! And there are no rules! Liu Xiang threw a sharp look at the little guy, and his tone was very cold.
Seeing this, the little guy panicked in his heart, and hurriedly knelt down and gasped, waiting for Liu Xiang's surrender, and at the same time, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
Although Lin Tong was timid, bullied the soft and afraid of the hard, and did not dare to cause any trouble outside, he relied on his identity as a housekeeper to be powerful in the Mu Mansion, and he was bullied to death!
Just now, he carefully searched Steward Lin's room, and finally caught a handle on him.
Just when the little guy lowered his head and was feeling deflated.
Mu Qingge slowly read out the words on his belly pocket, "Lin Tong loves Xiang'er."
"Wow." With a bang, Mu Qingge's words were like a depth charge, causing a big splash in everyone's hearts.
The king monkey who was kneeling on the ground also had his eyes lit up, and he raised his head in surprise and pricked up his ears.
Lin Tong, isn't that the name of Steward Lin? As for Xiang'er...... Isn't that the name of the Grand Lady?
Everyone present looked at each other, whispered, and looked at Liu Xiang's eyes changed, with speculation, strangeness, and a hint of an attitude of watching the show.
When Liu Xiang heard this, he chuckled in his heart, took a few steps back, turned his head to look at Mu Qingshan, and met his gaze.
"Ah, mother, this Xiang'er is the same name as your father called you. This Lin Tong, isn't it the name of Steward Lin! ”
Mu Qingge knew that the adviser, as if on purpose, coincided with the thoughts in everyone's hearts, which deepened the speculation in Mu Qingshan's heart.
"Master, master, madam......" Steward Lin didn't know why, and ran towards this side while calling Mu Qingshan and Liu Xiang, while looking at Mu Qingge with a vicious gaze.
Liu Xiang glanced at Mu Qingshan, and hurriedly looked at Lin Tong first, as if he wanted to cover it up, his tone was full of disgust, "Presumptuous!" What a place this is! How can you be allowed to appear in such a disheveled mess! What a body to become wet all over! ”
Steward Lin was stunned, and looked at Liu Xiang a little inexplicably, with a complicated look in his eyes.
This is the first time she has treated him with this attitude, and if he makes any mistakes before, she will plead for herself in front of Mu Qingshan.
Steward Lin thought as he took a few steps towards Liu Xiang, and the people near Liu Xiang all pinched their noses and took a few steps back.
Seeing this scene, Mu Qingshan was completely angry, he glared at Lin Tong, and shook his sleeves angrily, "Someone!" Steward Lin despises the rules of the Mu Mansion and has no king's law! Dispose of it according to the family rules, and the rod will be punished with fifty boards! ”
"Master, the concubine is so wronged." As soon as Mu Qingshan's words fell, Liu Xiang wrapped around Mu Qingshan's arm like a water snake, and her tone was sneering, at this moment, she didn't care that someone present would lose her demeanor.
Mu Youdan was also confused at the moment, but after receiving Liu Xiang's eye instructions, he had already retreated to the back of the hall at this moment, quietly observing everything that happened here.
"Master, the concubine's profane clothes were lost a few days ago, and the concubine has been looking for it for a long time." Liu Xiang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, observed Mu Qingshan's reaction, and leaned over there.
"The concubine heard some time ago that this kind of thing was soaked in the morning dew of the bamboo forest in advance, and then roasted with Longyan incense, and it would ......" Speaking of this, Liu Xiang paused, lowered his voice a little, and blushed.
Then he threw a confused look at Mu Qingshan, which made Mu Qingshan's heartbeat slow down by half a beat, and the anger in his heart disappeared by more than half.
Mu Qingshan took a few steps forward and hugged Liu Xiang in his arms, just about to say a few words of comfort.
Liu Xiang saw that Mu Qingshan's attitude had eased, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he continued to cry, "Master, the concubine originally wrapped that thing and put it in the bamboo forest, but I didn't expect the concubine to send a maid to pick it up the next day, but I couldn't find it." ”
"I didn't expect it to be taken away by Steward Lin, and the concubine just wanted to see Steward Lin's attitude, lest he be framed, who knew that he would ...... Look at the concubine with that rude look, the concubine is so scared......"
Liu Xiang cried quietly, rubbed in Mu Qingshan's arms, and the subordinates all lowered their heads, pretending to be deaf and dumb, and didn't dare to look at the two.
The most taboo thing for men is that their women are targeted by other men, but the happiest ones are the same. Because in this way, men's vanity will inexplicably and wonderfully swell.
At the beginning, Mu Qingshan was puzzled when he saw the red belly pocket, but now he has completely dispelled his suspicions about Liu Xiang, at least, because of the three pearl tears of this beauty.
Thinking of this, Mu Qingshan looked at Steward Lin in the hall who was like a mourning dog, with some unknown meaning in his eyes, "Steward Lin has bad intentions and dirty thoughts, if he commits the above, pull him out and kill him with a cane!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Mu Qingge looked up at Mu Qingshan and raised his eyebrows.
Steward Lin also had a rumbling brain, and many things and thoughts flashed in his mind one by one, Liu Xiang lost his dirty clothes, he was knocked unconscious that night, and he lost his silver...... Steward Lin's body shook for a moment or two, and then looked at Liu Xiang.
At the moment, the woman was trying her best to sell her behaving in Mu Qingshan's arms, and she didn't look at him again, as if she didn't have the slightest objection to Mu Qingshan's order to kill him with a cane.
Isn't she important at all? Did she give up on herself for self-preservation?
Steward Lin looked at Liu Xiang with a hint of loneliness in his eyes, and was finally dragged out by someone who came to pull him out, and he didn't let out a voice to cry out for himself halfway, not even a word of justification.
At the last moment, Steward Lin's eyes inadvertently looked at Mu Qingge, and when he saw her looking at the cold eyes that exuded coldness, and the weird smile that the corners of her mouth hooked, she suddenly became smart.
She did all of this!
"It's you! It's you! You framed me! Steward Lin suddenly struggled and pounced on Mu Qingge like a vicious dog, but he was finally controlled by his subordinates.
Mu Qingge blinked, and hid behind Mu Qingshan with a frightened look, looking very innocent.
"It's you! It's you! ......" Steward Lin roared loudly, with despair in his voice, but he didn't know whether it was because he discovered Mu Qingge's terrible despair, or because he was really desperate because he was given up by Liu Xiang.
Steward Lin's voice became smaller and smaller, and he was dragged to the gate and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
At the last moment, Liu Xiang finally glanced at the desperate man, with a smile on his face, but his fists under his sleeves were clenched. Regardless of the truth of the matter, he can only be sacrificed at this point.
But no matter what things are, they have nothing to do with Mu Qingge! Liu Xiang looked at Mu Qingge faintly, his eyes exuding a bloodthirsty chill.
Steward Lin was dragged away, but there was silence in the Xiangxiang Pavilion, the subordinates lowered their heads, occasionally made eye contact but did not dare to make a glance, and the atmosphere was weird.
At this time, Liu Xiang was the first to speak, only to see her lying on Mu Qingshan's shoulder, and a few more tears popped out, her tone was soft and weak, which made Mu Qingshan's heart turn into a puddle of water, "Master, thank you for being the master of the concubine, but now the concubine is being desecrated like this, and the concubine is ......."
"The concubine has no face to live anymore, woo woo......" Liu Xiang said and was about to make a gesture to hit the pillar on the side, but was caught by Mu Qingshan, "Xiangxiang." ”
Seeing this scene, Mu Qingge only felt a chill in his heart, and didn't want to see these two people anymore, so he simply spoke up and interrupted the scene that Liu Xiang wanted to do, "Daddy! Daddy is mighty! It's just that now that Steward Lin has been killed with a cane, our Mu Mansion has one less housekeeper, and the affairs of this Mu Mansion will definitely not be taken care of by my mother alone......"
Being interrupted, Mu Qingshan was a little annoyed, and threw a look full of disgust at Mu Qingge, "What, you want to help your mother solve her problems?" ”
Mu Qingge narrowed his eyes and said politely, "Daddy misunderstood, Ge'er just wanted to remind Daddy to promote a housekeeper again." When Steward Lin was in office, he always withheld Ge Lezhai's things, and Ge'er only hoped that the new official family would not repeat the mistakes of the past, which was the only thing Ge'er cared about. ”
Hearing Mu Qingge say this, Mu Qingshan was stunned for a moment, thinking that Steward Lin was a little angry, and thinking of going to Gele Zhai early this morning to rummage through the cabinets, Mu Qingshan was a little unnatural in the face of Mu Qingge.
He didn't pay attention to Mu Qingge directly, but faced the little guy with a mole on the corner of his mouth and was very happy, and took out the majesty of the Hou Ye, "From now on, you are the new official of the Mu Mansion!" Did you hear what the eldest lady just said? ”
The little guy was stunned for a moment, and after reacting to what Mu Qingshan said, the corners of his mouth grinned in a big arc, and he knelt down and hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" The little one will do their best! ”
"Thank you, Daddy."
"Alright, let's go down!" Mu Qingshan seemed to be a little impatient, and wanted to quickly send this group of subordinates. He glanced at Liu Xiang, who was crying in his arms, and his heart softened again.
Seeing this result, Mu Youdan, who was in the palace, only felt a heart jam, and her blood hosta still hadn't been found! Instead, he almost lost his mother! Where did that blood hosta go!
Mu Youdan patted his chest, only to feel a little difficult to breathe.
Out of Xiangxiang Pavilion, Mu Qingge only felt that he was in a good mood for a while.
For this matter, she didn't think that Steward Lin was innocent. No matter what the reason, he was stupidly loyal to Liu Xiang, lost his heart, lost his humanity, killed people without blinking, lost his conscience, and died innocently.
Along the way, Mu Qingge could see the maids and wives everywhere she went, gathering in groups of three or two to say something to her, but after meeting her gaze, they all lowered their heads.
In the past few days, I think the people in the house have also seen it, and I think I will be quiet for a while after that. Thinking of this, the corners of Mu Qingge's mouth hooked, and he felt very happy.
When I walked to Gele Zhai, I saw the group of small servants in the warehouse standing in the courtyard in rows, they drooped their heads one by one, the expression on their faces was cynical, but they had bowls on their heads, and they didn't dare to move.
Some of them also held up their broken things and tied up with non-standard horse steps. Lian Yue and Qingyue stood aside, raising their heads one by one, pouting their lips and putting their hands on their hips, like examiners invigilating in the examination room, very angry.
