"Hmmm! I believe in you, Brother Lin Ran. Xu is because he really realized that what happened this time was not simple, and Murong Li rarely showed her deep dependence on Lin Ran......

The moon with a cold and bright halo in the sky still hung quietly, blocked by moving dark clouds, coming and going. The sky was also dark and gloomy, and it was very depressing......

Lin Ran and Murong Li haven't been gone for a long time, Xu is a while, Xu is a long time. After sending Murong Li to the door of Murong Mansion, Lin Ran explained and turned to leave.

Murong Li silently looked at Lin Ran's slightly lonely shadow, and her heart was ...... It's not a good taste, looking at him he gradually faded away in his sight, gradually becoming smaller and less than anything, Murong Li turned around and entered Murong Family.

As soon as Murong Li entered the Murong Mansion, Xiao Mu jumped out from the side, thinking that he had been waiting here for a while. "Miss, Miss, someone from the court just came, and I talked with the master for a long time in the front hall......"

"What? Court? What is the court doing here? Before Xiao Mu finished speaking, Murong Li hurriedly interjected. After all, over the years, Murong Li was still very unfamiliar with the word imperial court.

Although the Murong family has a rich background, it has never been involved in officialdom, but it has always been well water with the imperial court. Every year, taxes are paid to the imperial court on time, and the imperial court has never been upset by the Murong family.

The Murong family has never been involved in arms, and has never done anything to hurt nature and reason and betray the country. But this time, why the imperial court suddenly visited, Murong Li really couldn't figure it out.

"Xiao Mu, I'll go see my father, you go back to the room first, prepare some dinner for me first, it's been a busy day, I haven't eaten yet." Murong Li touched her stomach and said to Xiao Mu a little aggrieved.

"What?! Miss, you haven't eaten yet! Miss, how can you skip a meal! Lin Ran's son is also really, he doesn't remind Miss to eat when he goes out with Miss, how can he do it if he doesn't eat, Miss will be hungry if he doesn't eat, and he ...... if he doesn't eat."

Xiao Mu muttered endlessly as he spoke, muttered for a while, and suddenly remembered something and asked: "Then what did you and Lin Ran Gongzi do today, why did you go for so long, and in addition to Grandma Wu's death, what else happened?"

"It's far away, I can't say it clearly for a while, I'll take a look at my father first, and ask him why the court is coming this time, you go back first, remember to prepare more delicious food, I'm starving to death......" said and walked to the main hall.

When she came to the main hall, Murong Li saw that Murong Fu's face was complicated and slightly dignified and pale, Murong Li remained silent, and gently walked in front of Murong Fu, who seemed to be thinking about something.

"Father, what's wrong? Why did the imperial court suddenly come to our house? Murong Li asked softly, seeing that Murong Fu was so distracted that he couldn't hear her speak, Murong Li called softly again: "Father...... Father?"

Murong Fumeng came back to his senses: "Huh? Lil? Are you back? Have you eaten? I'll ask Mama Chen to make you something to eat. Although he returned to his senses, these are usually normal words, and Murong Li always feels that something is wrong today.

"Father, you haven't answered my question yet, what's wrong? But what happened to the house? Why would the imperial court send someone to our Murong family?"

Murong Li continued to ask, always feeling that this matter was a bit serious, after all, her father hadn't shown such a look for a long time, Murong Li seemed a little anxious at this time, and couldn't wait to know what was going on.

"It's nothing, it's not early, go back and rest!" Murong Fu said, urging Murong Li to go back to the room to rest, he didn't want Murong Li to worry about these things for the time being.

After all, there are too many things involved in this matter, and if it is not handled well, maybe the catastrophe of Murong Mansion will follow, and if you are not careful, the whole Murong Mansion will fall into the abyss, and you will be trapped in it and unable to get out.

Murong Fu didn't want to let Murong Li get in touch with these things too early, if he could, he would rather protect Murong Li well for the rest of his life, so that she could be happy all her life and spend this life simply and beautifully.

"Okay, if my father doesn't want to tell Li'er, Li'er won't ask, but my father has to be happy, my father has been happy for Li'er for a long time!" After Murong Li finished speaking, she didn't ask any more questions, and obediently returned to the room.

After Murong Li left, Murong Fu called his subordinates and ordered: "Go and call the second master." "Yes, sir." After the subordinate replied in a low voice, he went back to call the second master.

After giving instructions to his subordinates, he seriously recalled everything that the people of the court had come to today. This time, due to the flood, the imperial court ordered someone to "kindly" make a suggestion to Murong Mansion, asking Murong Mansion to do something for the people affected by the disaster.

In other words, in this disaster, the imperial court did not want to spend too much money to fill the bottomless pit of the disaster victims' expenses. Therefore, he sent someone to "kindly" let Murong Mansion make this contribution, and said that after the matter was completed, he would give the Murong family the title of a protector of the country.

Although it sounds so good, in the final analysis, it is not that the imperial court has begun to be jealous of Murong Mansion's financial resources, and is afraid that Murong Mansion will do something that harms the interests of the country, in fact, it is also something that harms the interests of everyone in the imperial court.

So I thought of this good way to take advantage of this disaster to deal with the big hidden danger of the Murong family. Kill two birds with one stone, and it doesn't take a trace of effort, and there is no room for a trace of rejection.

If the Murong Mansion refuses, it will be equivalent to going against the imperial court, and I don't know what method the imperial court will use to "rectify" them in the future, but if it agrees, it will be equivalent to hollowing out all the Murong family's family funds, and the Murong family will not be able to move an inch in the future.

In other words, now Murong Mansion is in a desperate situation...... You can't escape, you can't break free. That's why Murong Fu was so worried and so depressed.

That night, Murong Fu and his Murong Xu talked about countermeasures in the hall for a long time, as for what the result would be and what decision Murong Mansion would make, no one knew......

In the morning, everything should be as vigorous as the first awakening, but this morning does not have the vitality and brilliance that the morning light should have, and there is no insects and birds that the morning light should have, everything is gloomy. It's very depressing......

But Murong Li did not let the weather affect her vitality for the day and her passion for fighting against disasters, as soon as the sky was bright, Murong Li called Xiao Mu to wash and change clothes for her.

"Miss, is the sun in the west today? Why don't you stay in bed, but you still get up so early, this is not a young lady I can't usually call no matter how I call it. Xiao Mu was drowsy, obviously still not waking up.

"We have to hurry up, Yancheng may really be in big trouble this time, as the daughter of the Murong family, I have to take on such a responsibility, even if my father doesn't want me to deal with this so early, I always have to take on this responsibility."

Murong Li said firmly, while still urging Xiao Mu to move faster. Murong Li knew that in order to protect herself, her father had not let her contact with the affairs of the house since she was a child, and wanted her to live under his warm and safe wings for the rest of her life.

But Murong Li also knew that she couldn't rely on her father for all the dangers and tribulations she had for the rest of her life, and one day, her father would be old and would need her protection......

Judging from her father's heavy and depressed expression last night, it seems that the matter of the imperial court's visit to her Murong Mansion this time is not so easy to handle, so Murong Li wants to help her father share the affairs of the disaster victims and share her worries for her father.

After quickly changing clothes and washing, and quickly finishing breakfast, Murong Li walked to the door, thinking that if Brother Lin Ran didn't get up too early, she could still call him, so that he would always say that he was lazy on weekdays.

As soon as she walked to the gate, Murong Li saw Lin Ran waiting there from afar. I sighed in my heart: This Brother Lin Ran, he didn't give me a chance to laugh at him for not getting up earlier than me......

Murong Li trotted up to Lin Ran and said mischievously: "Brother Lin Ran, why did you come so early today, I thought you hadn't gotten up yet, and I wanted to call you!"

Lin Ran looked at Murong Li's lively and innocent appearance, not bothered by this bad weather at all, as if the haze that could not be eliminated in his heart gradually dissipated, and his mood was not as depressed as yesterday, and he touched Murong Li's head dotingly.

After Murong Li called Xiao Mu on the side to prepare the carriage, she looked at Lin Ran and said, "By the way, Brother Lin Ran, is the plague you said yesterday true?" We, Yancheng, will there really be a plague? Murong Li was a little worried.

"It's not very clear, but according to Grandma Wu's situation yesterday, it seems to be very similar to some kind of plague that often occurs after disasters, but we can't be sure yet, so our task today is to investigate whether this is a plague or not. I hope not. Lin Ran said.

Murong Li was even more worried when she heard what Lin Ran said, and hurriedly asked, "Is it a plague?" If it's a plague, what should we do in Yancheng, what should we do with these ordinary people? The anxious tone revealed Murong Li's worry.

"Don't worry too much about this, if it's a plague, we can control it earlier if we find it earlier. And the plague just spreads quickly, not that it can't be cured, so don't worry too much. Lin Ran looked at Murong Li and comforted.

"Okay, Li'er don't worry, even if it's a plague, I believe that Brother Lin Ran, you will definitely be able to cure this plague and return Yancheng to a happy and beautiful tomorrow." Murong Li listened to Lin Ran's comforting words, looked at Lin Ran's affectionate eyes, and gradually let go of her worries.

"Well, for the sake of Li'er's trust, I will definitely do my best to save this Yancheng for you." Lin Ran looked at Murong Li with burning eyes and said firmly.

This is, Xiao Mu has prepared the carriage, and glanced at Murong Li and Lin Ran ambiguously, and returned home with interest. Seeing this, Lin Ran gave Xiao Mu a playful look, leaving Murong Li alone in place, not understanding what Xiao Mu and Lin Ran meant.
