Mu Heyun sighed secretly, this matter can't be good, but he doesn't want the life of the Xie family's boy, after all, he was also the old man back then, how could he let someone lose his life because of the private affairs of the inner house.

"Twenty rods, lock it up first." Mu Heyun touched Mu Yu's head and said in a deep voice.

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Ruyang sneered.

"Master Hou, look at Xuan'er's face!" Madame Ruyang pulled Mu Liangxuan's face and showed a small bruise on his cheek to everyone.

"Xuan'er is your own nephew! You can't bear to see him being bullied like this by a small wild seed? It's just that he lives in the Hou Mansion, and he still treats himself as a young master? Xuan'er is just playing with him, he is ruthless! If I hadn't arrived in time, Xuan'er's life would not have been there! ”

"This cold winter, isn't it clear that you want my family Xuan'er's life?! With such a vicious heart, wouldn't it be cheaper for him to have just twenty rods? Master Hou, you are Xuan'er's uncle, you have to be the master of Xuan'er! ”

Mrs. Ruyang burst into tears when she spoke, and Mu Liangxuan's eyes rolled and she began to cry, and the hall was noisy for a while.

Mu Heyun took a deep breath, "Then what do you want?" ”

Mrs. Ruyang wiped the corners of her eyes and said categorically: "It must be punished in accordance with the family law!" Set an example! It's just a young master who dares to bully the Hou Mansion by borrowing wild seeds to live in the Hou Mansion, wouldn't this be a joke if it is spread out? Where does you see the majesty of my Hou Mansion?! ”

"Third aunt, you're too much!" Mu Yu couldn't help it.

Fifty boards can be said to be Xie Chongning's life, even the twenty boards are not something he can afford now, if Xie Chongning survives, ten years later, the Hou Mansion will be raided and exterminated, and she will die young......

Cold sweat suddenly oozed from Mu Yu's back.

If she hadn't been given the exact time, how could this have happened! It's only because she didn't have time to stop it, and now I just hope that there can be a complete way to protect Xie Chongning.

"Excessive? The family law is clearly written! That's the rule laid down by our ancestors! Mrs. Ruyang slapped her face on the table, and the sudden loud noise shook everyone's hearts, and then she glared at Mu Yu and gasped for a few breaths and asked sharply: "Yu'er, Xuan'er is your cousin!" Are you protecting the murderer who pushed your cousin into the lake like this? ”

"Daddy!" Mu Yu couldn't make sense with Ruyang, so he turned his head to look at Mu Heyun, his voice full of pleading.

"Fifty rods, Brother Ning will die!"

"Then my Xuan'er deserves this sin? The sojourner still doesn't understand his brothers, friends and brothers, and pushes Xuan'er, who is only seven years old, into the lake, can he do such a vicious thing at such an age, can he get it when he grows up? Mrs. Ruyang sneered, her eyes swept coldly over Xie Chongning, who was kneeling on the ground, and took a deep breath and looked directly at Mu Heyun, "Master Hou, if there is no explanation for this matter today, I will tolerate him like this, brother and sister, I don't dare to continue to stay in the mansion, otherwise who knows when my Xuan'er will still be alive!" ”

"Nonsense!" Mu Heyun wrinkled his eyebrows and snorted, "If you leave the Hou Mansion, what will outsiders think?" But it's a little thing, does it have to be known to everyone in the capital?! ”

He can't afford to lose that person!

At this moment, Mrs. Hou Shen Mei arrived, and as soon as she opened the curtain and entered the room, she was startled by this situation, and her eyes fell on the kneeling young man in the center of the hall, and her eyebrows furrowed.

"How do you get this?"

Mrs. Ruyang collected her momentum, got up and saluted Shen Mei, and said in a cold and hard tone: "Xuan'er was almost killed by the little wild seed of the Xie family today, my sister originally wanted Hou Ye to be the master of Xuan'er, but Hou Ye's heart was towards outsiders!" ”

Mrs. Hou frowned, handed the fox fur to her subordinates, straightened her sleeves, and said in a calm tone: "Ruyang, pay attention to your identity, Chongning is a descendant of the Xie family, but now he is the only one left, and he is also a relative, how can you say that you can plant wildly?" ”

Mu Yu's eyes lit up when he saw Shen Mei, and he hurriedly twisted his little body to hug him, "Mother!" Mother! ”

Mu Heyun handed Mu Yu into Shen Mei's arms, the ugly look on his face gradually eased, and explained to his wife in a low voice: "Chongning made a mistake in the end, Xuan'er was frightened and fell into the water today, maybe there is something wrong with him, and he can't be punished if he is not punished." ”

"Mother, Brother Ning didn't mean to, Cousin Xuan bullied him more on weekdays, isn't Brother Ning allowed to resist? Brother Ning has been kneeling here for a long time, and he is wearing wet clothes, just the cold is enough for him to feel uncomfortable, this time he will definitely be seriously ill, you are the most kind-hearted, just help Brother Ning! Mu Yu leaned on Shen Mei's shoulder and whispered.

Shen Mei raised his eyes to look at Mu Heyun, he understood the helplessness in his eyes, sighed lightly, raised his finger and flicked Mu Yu's braincase, and whispered softly: "Yu'er, don't make trouble, how can your brother Ning not be punished if he makes a mistake?" If your grandmother had known about it, she would have punished her even more. ”

Mu Yu pursed his lips and didn't speak, and finally twisted his body and broke away from Shen Mei's arms, and ran to Xie Chongning to hug him.

"I don't! Brother Ning won't push Brother Xuan into the water! Brother Ning won't do bad things! You are all eccentric! Mu Yu craned his neck and didn't look at Xie Chongning, who was hugged by her, and only shouted at Mu Heyun.

"Rumors!" Mrs. Ruyang was heartbroken when she saw that she was defending an outsider like this, "Who are you Xie Chongning?!" It's just an outsider under the sojourner! A wild seed! How can you ignore your cousin for an outsider?! ”

Mu Yu hated Mu Liangxuan in his heart, that kid usually likes to provoke her when he has nothing to do, although he doesn't dare to do anything to her, but after all, she can't like it, and it is impossible to stand on Mu Liangxuan's side at this time.

"Brother Ning is not a wild seed!" Mu Yu was sprinkled and rolled, and began to mess around.

Xie Chongning lowered his head, and could only see a small hair whirl, and the soft little body leaning on him brought a little temperature, but this temperature was just a drop in the bucket, and it would only make him violent and want to ask for more.

It was difficult to raise his hand to push the person away, but his whole body was frozen and painful, and his joints seemed to be rusty, and it was difficult to move.

Mu Heyun was one head and two big, and scolded in a low voice, "Rumors! Don't mess around! If you continue to mess around like this, I'll send you to your grandmother!" ”

Mu Yu was silent, Shen Mei stepped forward and wanted to pull her away, but she hugged her tightly, and Shen Mei didn't dare to push too hard for fear of hurting her, so she had to turn her head helplessly to look at her husband.

Mu Liangxuan suddenly pointed at her and spoke, "Bad sister! You're not my sister! ”

Mu Liangxuan is half a year older than her, he is a bastard boy in the Hou Mansion, he is used to being arrogant, and he is the grandson of the third room in the Hou Mansion, he has always been clever and obedient in front of the old lady, and he is quite loved by the old lady.

"Mother! Xie Chongning, he bullied me! You kick him out! I don't want to see him again! Mu Liangxuan turned around and hugged Mrs. Ruyang and cried, which made Mrs. Ruyang feel very distressed.

"Master Hou, you can give me a good word! Is the rule set by the ancestors still useful! ”

Liu Ying, the lady of the second room, raised her eyebrows and looked at the farce in front of her, and took a sip of the teacup nonchalantly, and finally said the first sentence: "It's just a play between children, why is it so grand, besides, from beginning to end, your kid is talking with one mouth, what is not necessarily the situation." ”

"If you want me to say, just a small punishment and a big commandment, you have to beat people to death to be satisfied?"

The second master frowned slightly, put the tea cup in his hand on the table, and the second lady snorted lightly and stopped speaking.

Shen Mei looked at Mu Yu, who was hugging Xie Chongning, and was extremely distressed, Xie Chongning's body was very cold, Yu'er was young and weak, and if he hugged him again, he might have to be cold, and he would definitely be sick at that time.

"Third sister, would you like to listen to your sister?" Shen Mei turned his head to look at Mrs. Ruyang, who had a cold face, and whispered softly.

Mrs. Ruyang was still willing to listen to what she said, so she temporarily suppressed the anger in her heart and said quietly: "Sister just said it." ”

Shen Mei said: "Chongning made a mistake this time, but he is young, and he didn't mean it." ”

"If my sister wants to persuade me not to pursue it anymore, I'm afraid I'll be disappointed."

After listening to the previous sentence, Mrs. Ruyang spoke decisively.

"I don't want you to stop pursuing it, after all, Xuan'er is also my own nephew, how can there be any reason not to hurt my family?" Shen Mei continued to say softly: "It's just that Chongning has also knelt here for a long time, and he must know in his heart that he is wrong, and the punishment is certain, but I am afraid that it is inappropriate to use the family law of the Hou Mansion on him." ”

Mrs. Ruyang's eyes swept over Xie Chongning, "If there is anything wrong, if you make a mistake, you should naturally be punished!" ”

Shen Mei sighed, "You just said, Chongning is the son of the old man after all, the Hou Ye promised the old man to leave the house to fend for himself after he and the crown, then the old man and the Hou Ye are kind, if it is really a family law, how can he bear it as a child?" When something happens, wouldn't it be obvious to outsiders that they will poke Hou Ye's backbone in the back? Our Hou Mansion has been hereditary for three generations, and you don't know what the situation is now, so because of this incident, someone grabbed the handle to attack the Hou Ye, how do you let the Hou Ye deal with himself? How will the Hou Mansion deal with itself in the future? ”

The words were said softly and gently, but the sentences were straightforward, and Mrs. Ruyang was speechless for a while, but her face was still unwilling, "Then it is impossible to forget it like this?" ”

"Naturally not," Shen Mei looked at Xie Chongning, "My sister is right, children will naturally be punished if they make mistakes, but they can't be punished too harshly, when everyone makes mistakes, they should always give people a chance to make amends, right?" ”

"Then my sister said, how should this matter be handled?" Mrs. Ruyang asked.

Mu Yu didn't expect that his mother-in-law would really persuade Mrs. Ruyang, and his eyes were full of surprise, and he immediately stood on tiptoe and whispered in Xie Chongning's ear: "Brother Ning, I believe that Mu Liangxuan has not been harmed, my mother will definitely not let you suffer too heavy punishment, and you will pretend to be faint later, I will fool you in the past!" ”
