Chapter Seventy-Four: The Meng Family Comes
"Miss Mu has not come back since she went out yesterday, I wonder if something happened outside?"
Listening to the maid waiting in the snow pavilion, she didn't see anyone for two days in a row, the room was empty and cold, the bedding on the bed was neat and there was no wrinkle, and she shouldn't have come back last night.
Thinking that Miss Mu was a distinguished guest brought back by the eldest prince, a few maids waiting in the courtyard did not dare to delay, and hurriedly went to the front yard and returned to the Lin family.
"You woke up in the morning and didn't see anyone?" Sheng Mingzhu put the spoon in his hand, with a suspicious face.
That's not right! She saw him come back last night, and he was injured, how could he be gone in the morning?
Such a serious injury, if you don't take care of it well, it will kill you.
Sheng Mingzhu was full of doubts in his heart, but he didn't show it in front of the Lin family, "Will it be early in the morning, don't you know?" ”
"Miss Mu doesn't like a few of us to serve closely, every time I got her promise, in order to enter the house to tidy up the room, last night we guarded for a long time and did not see Miss Mu come back, this morning to knock on the door, found that the bedding in the house has not been touched at all, Miss Mu should have been out yesterday, has not come back, slaves and maids will definitely not be mistaken."
"Did she say she was going there yesterday?" Lin glanced at Sheng Mingzhu with some worry on his face.
"Miss Mu never said this to us, and in the past few days of serving, Miss Mu rarely talked to us, and she didn't like us to be close." Cui'er, who was waiting in the Listening Snow Pavilion, shook her head.
"I know, you guys go down, if Miss Mu comes back, hurry up and come over to inform you." Lin frowned, thought for a while, after all, it was inappropriate, and asked Mama Jin in the house to inform Steward Li and ask him to take a few people out to search.
"Mother, don't worry too much, Miss Mu is such a big person, is it possible that she will lose it? There may be something delayed, otherwise in a while, I will ask the eldest brother, maybe the eldest brother will know his whereabouts. ”
Sheng Mingzhu thought for a moment and comforted. Yesterday, Miss Mu admitted that her eldest brother knew her true identity, and she would have better go over to find out her bottom later, otherwise she would always feel unstable with such a person by her side.
"Your eldest brother went out with your father early in the morning, and he hasn't come back yet, I heard that there were assassins in the palace last night, and it seems that he lost something, and the assassins haven't been caught yet, and it's not peaceful outside these days, so you just stay at home honestly, don't make any trouble for me."
Sheng Mingzhu sighed in his heart, and said tentatively quietly: "Arresting the assassin should be a matter for the Praetorian Guards in the palace, why did you call your father and eldest brother over in the morning." ”
"Maybe something big is missing, who knows?" Lin's food was tasteless, and after two mouthfuls of rice hastily, he let people withdraw it.
"Does your leg still hurt? How did you hear that you went out yesterday, and you are not going to ask for this leg? ”
"It's been a long time since I stopped hurting, I've been suffocating at home, and I'm about to get sick." Sheng Mingzhu approached the Lin family, blinked his eyes and said slyly: "Does my mother know what I saw when I went out yesterday?" ”
"What do you see, it's worth all the fuss you make?" Lin was intrigued by her appearance.
Sheng Mingzhu waved his hand and retreated from the people waiting in the house, leaned into Lin's ear and whispered: "The Yan family's Yan Hui Zhu, molesting other girls on the street, was ruined. ”
"Are you telling the truth?" The Lin family was shocked, the status of the Yan family in Beijing was no less than that of their Sheng family, the Yan family did not learn and did not know how to do it, and the notoriety of bullying men and women had long been famous, but no one dared to move, who was so bold, but how did it sound so happy.
"I saw it with my own eyes, there can still be a fake, that Yan Hui Zhu is bullying, lewd and lustful, retribution has arrived at this time, there is no news at this time, it is estimated that he is deliberately concealing it!"
"The Yan family, it's not something to mess with, I guess this matter will definitely have to make trouble."
"If the Yan family wants to make trouble, they have to find talents."
“……”
The two were talking, and for about half a cup of tea, they listened to the little man guarding the door coming back and forth, and the old man and the two sons came back.
The news brought back was really as Mu Qing said, the guards in the palace followed the assassin's traces all the way to the Yanshang Mansion, and found the assassin's sword and bloody clothes in the mansion.
Yan Shangshu entered the palace overnight to shout injustice.
It's just that this time Emperor Wu was so angry that he didn't even finish Yan Shangshu's words of injustice, so he directly pressed people into prison.
Early in the morning, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just tactfully said a few words of pleading for Yan Shangshu, and was angrily reprimanded by Emperor Wu.
Hearing that the concubine in the harem was even more crying, her eyes were red, and she knelt outside the Qianqing Hall all morning.
For a while, people's hearts fluctuated, but no one dared to intercede for the Yan family, and even with the prince, there were many fewer people coming and going.
But after a day's work, it spread all over the outside, saying that the little son of the Yan family had broken the root of his life, and Yan Shangshu was so bold that he dared to send a killer into the palace to steal medicine, and even almost injured the saint.
The evidence is conclusive, the argument is irrefutable, the saint Longyan is furious, and outsiders say that the good days of the Yan family are over.
The Yan family lost their sacred heart overnight, and no one cared about who hurt Yan Hui Zhu's life, in short, everything was as Mu Qing expected, and it was not bad at all.
Sheng Mingzhu felt more and more frightened the more she listened.
With such a scheming and such a strong martial arts, who is this wooden girl.
Since that night, Miss Mu has been missing from the world, and she can't find it in the end, the teahouse on Suzaku Street, she privately sent several people to secretly investigate, but every time she found no such person, and asked the eldest brother, it was also vague and unclear.
A few days later is the birthday of the Lin family, the house began to slowly get busy, the affairs of the Yan family, so far there is no decision, the Yan family tree has deep roots, the court is involved in a lot, more Yan Guifei and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mediated in the palace, and it is not easy to defeat it in one fell swoop by virtue of this matter.
Sheng Mingzhu has a lot of things to do these days, and he doesn't have so much energy to think about it, since he was given the title of county lord, there are more and more invitations under various names, some can be pushed away, and some are not easy to push directly, so he can only deal with them patiently one by one.
"Miss, someone from Miss Cousin's house is here, and now she's outside! Do you want to go out and have a look, I heard that there are many people coming, even Miss Cousin's stepmother has come with her. Jade came in with the curtain and let go of the cold air before coming to Sheng Mingzhu.
"What about my good cousin? Seeing her relatives at this time, someone can be regarded as supporting her, and the tears are afraid that the grievances will not flow endlessly, and it is estimated that it will not take a day for the people in this house to know how we treat her harshly. Sheng Mingzhu held the copper stove to warm his hands, slowly inserted a begonia prismatic jade hairpin in his hair bun, looked at the bright and moving, dignified and noble makeup in the mirror, and then stood up and said: "Go, go out and meet them." ”
