Chapter Seventy-Two: Separation
"How dare he come to you to show off? I really don't know what to do. Mu Yi hung down the table angrily and sat opposite Mu Yu, "Don't be deceived by that waste, what he did was not a good livelihood." ”
"Big brother knows?" Mu Yu asked.
"What do you think that waste can do other than do something like a chicken and a dog thief?" Mu Yi smiled disdainfully, "I just checked the recent flow of these three rooms at random, and they have thousands of taels of silver in their accounts for no reason, so I know that this Mu Liangxuan may not have done a lot of dirty things behind it." ”
"Then did the eldest brother ever think about what we would do if Mu Liangxuan did the same thing as the second uncle and committed the crime of killing his head?" Mu Yi was faintly worried, it turned out that the eldest brother also knew that there was something wrong with Mu Liangxuan.
Mu Yi seemed to have thought of something, and her big hand immediately attached to Mu Yu's soft hair, "Say, you girl, did you go behind my back again and run to inquire about Mu Liangxuan by yourself?" ”
Mu Yu, who was debunked, forced out a smile, revealing a mouth full of white teeth, "Big brother, why are you so smart, you have found out all this?" ”
"Rumors!" The smile on Mu Yi's face suddenly retracted, "You girl, how can you do it yourself?" What if I encounter danger? The three friends Mu Liangxuan made are not good things at first glance, but compared to Mu Liangxuan, I don't know how much smarter, why are you so willful. ”
Mu Yu timidly looked away, and said, "Big brother, this time I really am not alone, someone protects me." ”
"Who? Is it just Biyue's girl? With her three-legged cat's kung fu, do you think she can really protect you when you encounter danger? Mu Yi was really angry.
"It's not Biyue, it's Lord Xie."
"Lord Xie? Which Lord Xie. Mu Yi's anger was still on his head, and he didn't expect who this Lord Xie was for a while, "The Lord Xie you are talking about, could it be that Xie Chongning?" ”
Mu Yu grinned, and a pair of innocent big eyes blinked a few times, "Well, it's him." ”
"He ......" Mu Yi wanted to say to avoid suspicion, but thinking that the two had a marriage contract again, there was no problem with Yu'er asking Xie Chongning to help, and finally he only held back a sentence aggrievedly, "Can he protect you well?" ”
"I don't need him to protect me, Lord Xie sent someone to follow those three people, I just need to wait for his results." Mu Yu omitted the previous story, according to Mu Yi's temperament, if he heard that he secretly went out with Xie Chongning, I am afraid that he would not be fried.
Thinking that Yu'er was indeed not in danger, Mu Yi's attitude was much gentler, "That kid did a good job, but you hid this matter from me, but you told Xie Chongning?" Isn't it too sad for me to be a big brother? ”
"Big brother, I'm not hiding it from you, I just know that you have been worried about my marriage recently, and I don't want you to worry about it." Mu Yu said seriously, "Big brother, you always protect me too much, it's not that I can't lift it, I also have my own way of doing things." ”
Mu Yi just wants to keep Mu Yu by her side and watch all the dangers around her, even if she indulges Mu Yu to do things, she must be under his care, completely forgetting that Mu Yu is already an independent girl, and she doesn't know that under Mu Yu's skin, she is already an adult who is nearly thirty years old.
Mu Yu can understand Mu Yi's mood, but Mu Yi can't take care of herself for the rest of her life, right? "Big brother, you believe me, I will really do what I can."
Looking at her sister's clear eyes staring at herself, Mu Yi suddenly felt speechless, "Rumor, eldest brother just doesn't want you to be in danger." ”
"I know, so you see, this time, didn't I ask Lord Xie for help?" Although it was indeed Xie Chongning who took the initiative to help him at the beginning.
Mu Yi seemed to be persuaded, but he was a little hesitant, "It's good if you ask me for help, I always feel that Xie Chongning is unreliable." ”
"Big brother, if you are reliable, you have to try to find out?" This Mu Yi has never been able to accept Xie Chongning, which is not necessarily a good thing.
She knew in her heart that although Xie Chongning had a gloomy temperament, he could take care of himself, even if he couldn't love each other for the rest of his life, he should be able to respect each other like guests, and the eldest brother's misunderstanding of Xie Chongning was too deep.
"Big brother, the last time I fell into Cuiping Lake and fell seriously ill, do you remember this?"
Seeing Mu Yi nodding, she continued, "At that time, Lord Xie was the first to jump into the lake and save me!" And this time, I originally planned to secretly follow Mu Liangxuan's friends, but I didn't want to meet Master Xie on the way, and then Master Xie sent me back, and then sent someone to follow me. ”
"None of this says much, maybe that kid is just trying to trick you." Mu Yi retorted.
"My engagement with him already exists, what else is he going to coax me? And I don't believe that when the second uncle broke the law, the emperor only confiscated his father's 30,000 military powers, and without the help of Lord Xie, the emperor was bent on cutting the marquis, why didn't he just take away the 50,000 military powers? These days, Mu Yu has thought about a lot of things, "I don't want to say good things for Lord Xie in front of my eldest brother, it's just that I actually doubted Lord Xie's purpose, but what is there in me that is worth coaxing him?" ”
Mu Yi gradually heard the rumor's words in his heart, he was wary of Xie Chongning at first, and it was only because he mentioned this kid in the family letter, this kid is deep in the city, he felt that such a person was not worthy of the rumor, but now it seems that Xie Chongning's surrounding environment dictates that if he is still so stupid, he is afraid that he will die a long time ago.
Thinking about it this way, in fact, it is not so difficult to accept Xie Chongning, "But Xie Chongning's background is not simple, their family was slaughtered overnight, and he was the only one left, although it was rumored outside that the Xie family was destroyed by the enemy, but who knows what happened?" And he does things for the emperor, and now he is a chess piece of the emperor, and his head is chosen on his waist. ”
"I know that my eldest brother wants me to live a safe and stable life, but now that I am going to marry Xie Chongning, what can I change?" Mu Yu continued to persuade patiently.
The reason why Xie Chongning became a courtier in that chronicle was because he was lame and blind, but now that he has become a courtier, there is a great future waiting for him, how can he take the old road now.
"Besides, my father, as the marquis, doesn't have his head hanging on his waist."
Listening to her sister's series of questions, Mu Yi took a deep breath and began to reflect, what the rumor said was not wrong.
What is stability? How many of the high-ranking positions can really live in peace? What's more, the situation in the court is already turbulent.
"If he could be nice to you, I won't stop him from seeing you." Mu Yi studied it carefully, but finally chose to compromise.
"It's not that he can't see me now, the question now is, big brother, do you know what kind of business Mu Liangxuan is doing outside?" It is a good thing that Mu Yi can accept Xie Chongning, but more importantly, it is Mu Liangxuan.
"Then I haven't asked carefully, why did Xie Chongning help you find out something?"
Mu Yan shook his head, "No, there is no news from Lord Xie yet, but Mu Liangxuan took the initiative to mention Nanxun to me a few days ago, and the things he sent these days are not from the capital, and the business he does is not in the capital." ”
"With his brainless appearance, he can't even understand the capital, and he dares to do business elsewhere?"
"So I'm afraid that he will also be like the second uncle, doing criminal things." Mu Yu's face was embarrassed.
Mu Yi pondered for a while, and said for a while, "If you don't want Mu Liangxuan to affect us, I have a way." ”
"What's the method?" Mu Yu asked.
"A few days ago, I was just passing by, and I overheard Mrs. Ruyang and Mu Liangxuan mentioning the matter of separating the family, if the family is separated, then the Luanping Marquis Mansion will be spared." Mu Yi had already had an idea about the separation, but he was a junior and couldn't talk nonsense, so he never brought it up.
This is also a good way, "Since Sanfang has a mind, it is the best, as long as Sanfang takes the initiative to divide the family, what mistakes they make at that time will not affect us." Mu Yu suddenly had an idea in his mind.
Seeing her sister's sly smile, Mu Yi thought and knew that this girl had a way, "What, what can you do?" ”
"There is a way, but it's not a good way." Mu Yu pursed his lips, "The reason why these three rooms want to be divided is because they have money, and they are afraid that our big house will be divided, so if you want the third room to take the initiative to divide the family, it will be that our big house has become poorer." ”
was looked up and down by Mu Yu's ill-intentioned words, and a chill suddenly rose behind Mu Yi.
"Big brother, it's better for you to pretend to gamble and lose all your property, if Sanfang knows, you must be in a hurry to split up!" Mu Yu smiled shyly, but proposed a way to harm Mu Yi.
Mu Yi sneered, knowing that Mu Yu didn't have any good ideas, "Hehe, I'm afraid that when the time comes, it won't be Sanfang who proposes to split the family first, but my father who will stand up and kill me first!" ”
"But there is no way, my father is filial, he doesn't want his grandmother to be sad, he will definitely not take the initiative to split the family, we can only let Sanfang take the initiative!" Mu Yu pouted, isn't this also a helpless way, "Think about it, isn't there only one way to make us poor all of a sudden." ”
Mu Yi thought about it, and really didn't think of a more effective way than losing money in gambling, "You will harm your eldest brother's ability, if my father wants to beat me at that time, you have to help me!" ”
Mu Yu raised his eyebrows, seeing that the eldest brother had accepted his own method, he nodded happily, "Big brother, don't worry, you will suffer a little grievance for the time being, and when the family is divided, my father will understand our good intentions." ”
Because Xie Chongning has been helping him investigate things, Mu Yu also told Xie Chongning about his plan out of honesty.
Xie Chongning smiled and hung his head slightly, "It's also a method." ”
"It's just that the eldest brother suffers, and he has to endure a severe beating from his father." Mu Yu licked his teeth with guilt and guilt.
"If this play is more realistic, I can help you." Xie Chongning said flatly, "You know Fuyuanfang. As he spoke, he casually tore off a black iron plate from his waist and put it on the table, "These people can cooperate with you." ”
