Chapter 258
At noon in summer, I screamed vigorously, and the pedestrians walking on the street hurried next to the root of the wall or in the shade of the trees, and the girl's family basically did not go out, and the tanned skin was in trouble.
Mu Ningjun sat in the sedan chair and returned to his yard in a comfortable mood, and his wife poked her head out of the kitchen when she heard the movement, "I'm back, I'll be ready for dinner in a while." ”
His wife suffered a lot with him, and he will be fine in the future, the eighth prince gave him such a large amount of business, and asked Ding Yi to help contact the seller and the bank, which solved his biggest financial problem.
Two seven or eight-year-old children jumped down from the locust tree a few meters high, and sat down beside him, "Daddy, you're finally back, my mother made cold noodles, and locust pancakes, but it's fragrant, just wait for Daddy to come back." ”
The woman came out of the kitchen with a tray and laid out the meals in the same way: "It's hot, I'm worried that you're running around outside, and you don't have much appetite when you come back, but fortunately, the locust tree in the yard has bloomed, so these two hairy boys have picked a lot." ”
Sweat was dripping from his wife's forehead, running down her cheeks, and Mu Ningjun wiped it with a sweat towel for her: "When this business is completed, the family will hire a cook." ”
The four of them had lunch happily, Mu Ningjun figured out that the time was almost up, and then went out again, this time he still hired a carriage and headed towards the mansion of the eighth prince.
Mu Zhixi ate the meal in the Eight Princes' Mansion at noon, because the Eighth Master likes to be alone with her, he can always find various reasons not to let her resign, and even take a nap in the mansion to rest.
Mu Zhixi was depressed, this guy was getting more and more inches, but he just had a way to make her unable to open her mouth, and even those subtle movements could be detected by him.
Mu Nan brought the tea in: "The prince specially instructed the kitchen to prepare mung bean soup and chrysanthemum tea, do you want to drink some of it?" Bingbing is cold, quite comfortable, just waiting in the kitchen, the cook quietly gave the slave a small bowl, still cold, oh, and the chilled watermelon, put it in the well overnight. ”
Mu Zhixi glanced at her, a little favor was bought by people, I really don't know if it will be because of the greater benefits in the future, even she will be sold: "Take it, you, look like a little gluttonous cat, don't let the people in the prince's mansion laugh." ”
Mu Nan pursed his lips aggrievedly: "The slave maid has just arrived with the young lady, I still understand this, the young lady can rest assured, the slave and the maid are reserved, and it is also a favor to accept it just now, after all, the young lady married into the palace, that is, the female master, if the slave and the maid are high and do not enter the posture of oil and salt, it is easy for people to misunderstand that we are the villain's ambition." ”
Mu Zhixi took a sip of mung bean soup, it was cold and refreshing, it was very comfortable, and there was nothing wrong with thinking about Mu Nan's thoughts, but she was a little too restrained, looking at it, keeping too much distance from people, and she would eventually become the target of public criticism.
Ding Yi replied softly outside the door, and the eighth prince invited the young lady to the front hall, saying that Mu Ningjun was coming over, and he was talking to the prince at this time.
Speaking of this little grandfather, it really makes Mu Ningxi unaccustomed to it, it doesn't matter how old Mu Ningyuan is, it just so happens that the family is older, they will occasionally see each other in the mansion once or twice, and the courtesy is essential, so naturally I feel awkward.
"What did the prince say, he had to let me go."
Ding Yi hurriedly explained: "Miss misunderstood, Wang Ye really asked Miss to sit in the side room and drink tea, so that she didn't have to meet guests." ”
The front hall of the Eight Princes' Mansion is for guests, she has come to the palace many times, but the Eighth Master never takes her to the front hall, because she is not a guest, only in the inner courtyard, the carriage is to the gate every time, and then carried directly into the backyard by the soft sedan chair, never stayed in front.
She was a little curious, but through the heavy curtains, she couldn't go to the probe. Ding Yi led their master and servant all the way to the side room, where the melons, fruits, pears and peaches were neatly arranged, and even the snacks were her favorite food.
Keeping her eyes on Mu Nan's body, it must be this girl, eating inside and out, and quietly told the cook her preferences, no wonder people sincerely entertained her.
glared at the girl who was not interested, Mu Nan stuck out her tongue and lowered her head and smiled. Outside, a man's voice could be heard.
Mu Ningjun recounted the incident to the eighth master, "This old lady is really dizzy, she can't blindly let her practice this brother and sister, the prince just rest assured, as long as I am one day, I will definitely seek justice for their brothers and sisters." ”
The eighth master drank tea, and his indifferent eyes hid a trace of murderous intent: "You also know that this king's mother-in-law has a life-saving grace for this king, so this king not only wants to marry Zhixi and treat her well all his life, but also find out the reason for the death of this king's mother-in-law and give her justice." ”
Mu Ningjun gasped, the eighth prince is going to fight to the end with the grandmother of the Mu family, Mu Ningxi's mother died strangely, and the Xiao Wang family used means to be true, but the grandmother of the Mu family must have participated, otherwise, how could the Mu family's wheel be broken for no reason.

Those bandits appeared there impartially, and the guards around Mu Zhixi's mother were half taken away by the Mu family's grandmother, these are all unjustifiable. Back then, Mu Zhixi's maternal grandfather's family had no one to stand out for them, and their brothers and sisters were still too young to compete with their ancestors.
After many years, if the eighth prince comes out, the things of the year will definitely be investigated, then, since the matter is to be decided sooner or later, he might as well follow the prince's thoughts, and in the future, the prince can still take care of one or two.
"The events of that year, although it has been a long time, and the little Wang family does not know where to go, but if you investigate carefully, you can still find some clues, if the prince can trust the villain, then give some time, the villain will be able to find out the matter clearly, and give the prince a reasonable explanation."
Mu Ningjun swore an oath, and the eighth master was also happy, "Okay, this is the king's token, the search process, if you encounter difficulties with the government, you can take it out, just say that the king entrusted you to inquire." ”
The eighth master is worried that the wooden wolf will obstruct it and obstruct this matter, after all, if the wooden squire intervened to seek justice for his deceased wife, how could he marry Xiao Wang with great fanfare, and the eighth master is guarding against people.
Mu Zhixi knew that the things of the year had to start with the people around his grandmother, so Mu Ningjun's identity was the most powerful support, once his father intervened, the eighth master would tell the world in a grand manner, he wanted to be wronged for his mother-in-law, then, the people would stand on their side, Mu Shilang and his grandmother would be brought to justice, and as children, they could be left alone and no longer subject to the Mu family.
Because at that time, the head of the Mu family was his brother Mu Ningyuan.
Looking at the well-cleaned yard and room, the grandmother of the Mu family always felt that it was a world of difference from where she lived before, and her hatred for Mu Ningyuan's brothers and sisters deepened in her heart.
The wicked are like this, they never review their mistakes, obviously she is in a hurry to take advantage of other people's brothers and sisters, but now her abacus has failed, but she has to blame others, this is the way of the wicked, and she will always shirk her responsibility.
When Mu Ningjun returned home, it was already dark, his wife was still waiting for him to eat, and the children were playing in the yard.
"Coming back?"
"Well, come here, I have something to say to you."
His wife moved a stool to sit beside him, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and on a summer evening, the cool breeze was blowing, and the small courtyard looked warm and cool.
"I remember that Mu Shilang once had a skin-to-skin kiss with a maid in Mufu, and later, that maid went out of the house, if I remember correctly, that maid is actually the girl of Mrs. Zhang, who is next to the grandmother of the Mu family, who takes care of the money."
The wife's face changed at first, and then she said to the children, "The rice is on the table inside, you go and eat first, my mother and your father have something to say." ”
Seeing the children walking away, his wife lowered her voice and muttered: "This happened a long time ago, in fact, that time it was the old lady in Mufu who deliberately made trouble, and it happened that Mo Niang caught up." Mrs. Zhang didn't know at the time that she had done something wrong before and threw away the child, until Mo Niang's mother came to pick up the person and met Mrs. Zhang, which pierced the window paper. ”
"Why did you mention this matter in a dignified manner, could it be that Mo Niang caused trouble outside, Mo Niang's adoptive mother is my nurse anyway, we can help a little, we can't stand idly by."
His wife was disgusted, Mu Ningjun picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all: "Mo Niang's original marriage was made possible by our help, over the years, have we helped less?" ”
"I have a big thing for you to do now, if it is done, we will soar in the future, the children will no longer have to send people under the fence, and be looked down upon, our Mu family can also be proud in front of people, your nurse and Mo Niang, I will not treat them badly, brocade clothes and jade food, waist wrapped, I will fulfill my promise."
His wife's eyes were wide open, and she grabbed his hand, obviously trembling, "If it's something that hurts heaven and reason, we can't do it, even if it's poor, we are innocent and clean in our bones, better than anything else." ”
Mu Ningjun got up angrily, "Confused, look at what kind of life we have lived over the years, and then look at the grandmother of the Mu family, she has to have her own two daughters-in-law for the sake of glory and wealth, but she can still enjoy the wealth of her granddaughter with peace of mind, this is not tolerated." ”
"I admit that I have selfish intentions, the eighth prince values me now, how much things value my identity can restrain the Mu family's grandmother, he wants to clear the grievances of Zhixi's mother, that is several lives, Mrs. Zhang has followed the Mu family's grandmother for so many years, there must be a handle in her hand, we are just trying to help the eighth prince get it, and we can become the next imperial businessman, why not?"
"I, Mu Ningjun, am a man and do things in a fair and honest manner, I just want to earn a piece of family property for my son, glorify my ancestors, I don't steal, I don't rob, I just help the eighth prince to reveal the truth, I believe that the emperor and the queen of heaven, God will definitely uphold justice."
He said something excited, the crowd was angry, and the man's blood was boiling. This time, he not only did it for himself, but also asked the Mu family to expel this black sheep from the family, so that the Mu family could continue to be innocent.
