Chapter 47: The Man Who Didn't Exist
The salt transport is based on the book, and the official documents are all in hand, which can already give Mu Zongxin a big blow. At this time, the theft of salt transportation had also reached Mu Zongxin's ears, and he couldn't act rashly for the time being, so as not to startle the snake.
Although I don't know exactly what happened, the big thing happened also spread all over the Mu Mansion and the Menke Mansion. Li An and others didn't come much again to avoid suspicion, and it was the first time since Xiao Heng entered Mufu that he had a peaceful birthday. In the afternoon, the sun was just right, the breeze was blowing, Xiao Heng sat in the small pavilion, leisurely and leisurely sipping tea.
"Childe, there's a girl looking for you outside." Yun Huai came from outside the door and reported to him.
"Girl?" He thought about it, and since he entered this Mu Mansion, he had seen no more than one hand, and the only woman who came to him was ......, "Let her in." ”
Mu Wan wore a goose yellow skirt today and pulled her hair in a bun, which looked much gentler than that night. She walked into the small pavilion, and Shi Shiran saluted Xiao Heng: "Yun Gongzi." ”
Xiao Heng hurriedly held up: "How can Miss salute me?" There is a difference between master and servant, and I should salute the young lady. ”
Mu Wan blushed: "Gongzi helped me that day, I didn't thank Gongzi well, I came here today, and I hope Gongzi won't dislike it." ”
Xiao Heng smiled: "It's okay, it's our responsibility to help Miss." Miss is here, why don't you have a cup of tea here and leave? ”
Playing into the hands of others. Mu Wan smiled: "Okay, I'm tired of the son." ”
Xiao Heng made her a cup of tea. Mu Wan nodded and thanked her, and took a sip: "Biluochun? ”
"Miss will tea. Newly picked by the shore of Dongting Lake, I just have such a small box, and the weather is good today to take out the product, and it just so happens that Miss is also here. ”
Mu Wan put down the teacup and shook her head: "I'm not proficient, but my father loves to drink, so I just know a little bit about it." Yun Gongzi likes to drink Biluochun? If you like it, I'll ask someone to bring some next time. ”
Xiao Heng smiled and took a sip: "Biluochun is fresh and sweet, but I prefer Jin Junmei, which is sweet and long." ”
"Jin Junmei...... I am looking for it, and if I find it, I will send it to my son. ”
The two tasted tea for a while, and they were speechless. After a while, Xiao Heng seemed to think of something, and said, "By the way, it seems that the house has not been very peaceful recently, it seems that something big has happened, does Miss know what's wrong?" ”
"This ...... I heard that a caravan was robbed in our family, and my father suspects that someone is doing it, so you don't need to worry. She hesitated for a moment before she spoke.
"The caravan was robbed? That's a big deal. It seems that this young lady is just a young lady, and he has not yet reached the point of knowing so much about Mu Zongxin, he can't help but be a little disappointed.
Mu Wan thought for a while, and then said: "Actually, the robbery of the caravan is not a big deal, after all, it is a small team, and there are no casualties...... I only heard that something very important was missing, and my father was furious. ”
"Something very important?"
"Yes, the last time I saw my father so angry, it was the fourth brother......" She suddenly stopped talking.
"Fourth brother? Isn't there only three sons in the Mu family? Xiao Heng's heart sank. He was responsible for the disappearance of Yanyun's book, so he was naturally not surprised. But this fourth son of Mufu, he really hadn't heard of it.
He was about to continue to ask, but Mu Wan suddenly stood up: "It's getting late, don't bother the son anymore, I'll go back." He hurriedly blessed him and turned to leave.
She hurried out of the yard. Xiao Heng looked at her departing back, his brows furrowed slightly. The Fourth Son...... Mu Zongxin is not lucky, he has a total of three sons, where did this fourth son come from?
It seems that the Mu family has to investigate again.
Mu Wan walked out of the courtyard and walked for a long time before slowing down. How could I bring it up to someone I've only met twice? When the fourth brother disappeared, her mother had not yet become the wife of the main room, so she said to her for the first time: "You are Miss Mujia, you can do anything, even your fourth brother, you must not mention it, have you heard?" ”
She was ignorant at the time, and she was quite unconvinced: "Mother, why? The fourth brother is gone, shouldn't everyone look for him? Why is this like a nobody, can't you mention the fourth brother? ”
"You...... You're so daring! The mother hurriedly gagged her mouth and looked around to make sure that no one heard or saw her. The mother looked at her for a while, and suddenly cried: "Wan'er, our mother is poor and unfavored, no one else is powerful and powerful, if you say one more thing that shouldn't be said, it will lead to death!" ”
The mother cried and cried, and the tears couldn't stop flowing, but there was a bit of bitter hatred in her eyes. She was frightened and hugged her mother: "I won't ask, I won't ask in the future, mother, don't cry......"
Since then, the four sons of the Mu family have become a common secret of the Mu family, and no one has ever dared to mention it, just like this person has never existed in the world. She was also curious, but when she thought of her mother's instructions that day, she stopped talking and silently hid this question in her heart.
I said it out for a moment today, if that Yun Gongzi didn't hear clearly or didn't take it to heart, it would be fine, but if he was a scheming person...... In these two contacts, he doesn't look like such a person, just in case, is it better to tell his mother?
Momentarily dilemma.
