Yin Zhengbai of Jingzhao Mansion carefully put away the account books, and said in a solemn tone: "Miss Mu, don't worry, I will carefully check these account books, and I will also interrogate and investigate the person you want to sue, if the matter is true, the lower officials will uphold justice." ”

Mu Yunlan bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Lord Zheng." ”

Yue Xiaohan walked to Mu Yunlan's side, and his tone was extremely serious: "I will also tell my father about this matter, and my father Emperor Shengming will definitely punish the real wicked." When he said about the wicked, he glanced around the crowd with cold eyes, making the atmosphere even more solemn.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Mu Yunlan raised her head and smiled at him, grateful in her heart.

"You're welcome." Yue Xiaoqing looked at the smiling beautiful face, and didn't know why her heart moved slightly, and she felt a little hot at the root of her ears.

Yue Xiaohan saw this scene in his eyes, and he didn't know why he felt a pain in his heart, and unconsciously clenched his fists, and said, "Yun Lan, I will also help you." As soon as the words came out, he seemed to be startled by the eagerness in his tone, and pursed the corners of his lips slightly.

Mu Yunlan glanced at him, nodded and said that he heard it, but he didn't think so: this matter is his aunt's proud work, I'm afraid his mother also knows, it's strange that he can help.

Jingzhao Mansion Yin brought Qian San, who was killed by the collision, back to the yamen with the others, and the people gathered at the gate of the mansion also left one after another.

In the afternoon, what happened in front of the Weiguo Mansion had been spread in the imperial capital, and many people with good memories even specially asked someone to check the truth of the matter. Soon, the matter about Xu Qing's mother, that is, crying that the old woman forced her daughter-in-law to death and sold her grandson, broke out.

Everyone was so angry that they all said that the tiger was poisonous and did not eat the child, and the old woman even sold the only seedling left by her son, which was really vicious as a snake and scorpion.

Some other things have also been verified, and the people have praised Fuyuan General Mu Zhengmin's kindness, but there are some opinions about Mu Yunlan's actions.

Some people praise her for her decisiveness, and those who are not greedy should be punished, so that the people will be happy.

Some people also said that although some of those people are hateful, they are the families of the fallen soldiers, and there are also many people who know how to be grateful, whether it is too radical to beat them to death with a stick.

The eldest lady was originally sitting in the mansion waiting for the good news, but when she saw Lu Rui, who had gone outside to listen to the movement, come back, she said happily: "Lu Rui, come and tell me, how does the old lady deal with Mu Yunlan?" ”

Lu Rui looked worried, and when she heard this, she lowered her head and didn't know how to answer: "Madam...... Old lady he ...... He did not dispose of Miss Four. ”

The smile on Qi's face suddenly retracted, and he frowned: "The old lady actually shielded Mu Yunlan, this matter is in an uproar, he is not afraid that the imperial history will participate in him in the court?" ”

Green Rui fell to his knees with a pop, leaning over and not daring to speak.

Qi took two steps back and forth, and the uneasiness in his heart rose little by little; "Green Stamen, go through the matter carefully!"

"Madam," feeling Qi's anger, Lu Rui became more and more uneasy, and her voice trembled a little.

"Speak!" Qi snorted coldly.

"Yes, madam, those people just started to make trouble, and they did have the upper hand, and the persecuted God called the fourth lady to the door, saying that he wanted to give everyone an explanation. However, after the fourth lady came, she actually pointed out the identity of the troublemakers, and also told them the ridiculous things they had done before, which made the onlookers change their positions......"

Qi's eyebrows furrowed, and the corners of his eyes trembled unconsciously: "And then?" ”

"Then, the fourth lady took out two account books, one is the silver two records that the third master gave to the relatives of the fallen soldiers before his death, and the other is the record of those troublemakers stealing things from the store before, and now, the two account books and the troublemakers were taken away by Jingzhao Mansion Yin......"

Hearing this, Qi Shi panicked in his heart, and made it to the chair as if he was deflated, with obvious sluggishness on his face.

Lu Rui didn't dare to make a sound, and knelt on the ground tremblingly.

After a while, Qi's hand slowly tightened by his side, and a look of hatred appeared on his face: "Lin's ...... It's her, and those account books must have been secretly recorded by her! What a Lin, I really underestimated her, and she came to block me when she died! ”

"Madame's anger."

Qi was full of unwillingness and hatred: "I finally got the opportunity, I thought that I could completely defeat Mu Yunlan this time, but I didn't expect it to be in vain!" I'm not reconciled! Unwilling! ”

At the door, Mu Qingyao hurriedly walked in with her skirt, with tears on her face, and when she saw Qi, she cried and threw herself into her arms: "Mother, I want to kill Mu Yunlan, I must kill her!" ”

Qi helped her up with pity: "What's the matter, why are you still crying?" ”

Mu Qingyao cried sadly: "Mother, I just went to my cousin and said something about Mu Yunlan's mistreatment of the families of the fallen soldiers, but I didn't expect that I had just made a start, and my cousin was very angry and left directly." He never treated me like that, Mother ......"

Qi's fingers touching her hair stiffened, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, full of anger: "Lin's ...... Mu Yunlan...... They are really a stumbling block for our mother and daughter! ”

"Mother, what should my daughter do......" Thinking of Yue Xiaohan's eyes when she left, Mu Qingyao only felt extremely embarrassed, "Cousin, why did he do this to me...... It is clear that Mu Yunlan is vicious, and it is clear that she has ruined the Mu family's style, why doesn't my cousin believe me......"

Qi slammed his face on the table, and slammed the tea cup in his hand to the ground: "Bang! ”

Mu Qingyao was so frightened that she trembled, and hurriedly looked up at Qi, and timidly called: "Mother......"

Qi was silent for a long time, and finally stabilized his emotions: "It's my mother's gaffe, this matter is ...... Don't act rashly just yet, let's see what happens. Don't talk to the third prince about Mu Yunlan anymore. ”

"Mother, since Mu Yunlan's personality has changed greatly, I always feel that my cousin has paid more attention to her, and this time it is for her to show me a look," Mu Qingyao bit her pink lip, "You said, my cousin shouldn't like Mu Yunlan, right?" ”

"Yao'er, you will marry the third prince in the future, become the princess, and then step into the back seat, you have to understand that feelings are the most useless in the heavenly family."

Qi's voice was low, and his words were extremely cold: "In the future, if you marry the third prince, what you have to do is to keep the position of your third princess, even if one day, he wants to take Mu Yunlan as a concubine, and you, as the third princess, will send her to the bed of the third prince with a smile!" ”

"What...... What the? Mu Qingyao's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief, "Mother, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”

"I don't care if you understand it or not, you have to remember what your mother said," Qi's face was serious, "When you reach my age, it will be too late." Everything is false, only the right and status in hand are real, your father and I support you to marry the third prince, not because you like him, but because he can make you the queen! ”

"Mother......" Mu Qingyao was stunned by this statement, and the whole person was as stupid as petrified.

"I didn't want to tell you this so early, after all, you are still young, but now the form is different, Mu Yunlan's personality has changed dramatically overnight, your grandfather and grandmother have no choice but to her, even my mother and I have been frustrated one after another, if you are still in love and naïve and ignorant of the world, then you will be the one who suffers in the end."

Mu Qingyao was silent, not knowing how to react.

Seeing her like this, Qi Shi didn't force her: "You go back and think about it, whether you want to understand it or not, remember what I just said." ”

Chunning Garden, Mu Yunlan, who returned to the room, lay on the bed and slightly hooked the corners of her lips, and exhaled relaxedly.

The nurse Wu walked in with tea, and when she saw her like this, she couldn't help laughing: "Miss, I just said so much, my throat is dry, come and drink some tea to moisten my throat." ”

Mu Yunlan sat up with a grunt, tilted her head and snorted: "The nurse knows to make fun of me." ”

"The old slave is complimenting you," Wu's smile deepened, "If the young lady enters the court as an official, she will definitely be able to fight the ministers like Lin Xiangru in the book." ”

Mu Yunlan walked to the table, picked up the tea exhibition and swallowed it, her eyes were slightly bent, and the best chrysanthemum tea was added with rock sugar to moisten her throat and quench her thirst: "The nurse still doesn't admit that she is joking at me, if I enter the court as an official, I will definitely be like my father, leading the troops on the battlefield, garrisoning the border, and protecting the peace of the people." ”

"Okay, okay, Miss can do whatever she wants."

Mu Yunlan laughed for a long time, and couldn't help but feel a little stunned in her heart, in her previous life, she was able to become the county lord of the army, mainly because of her parents, and now, although the atmosphere of the Dayong Dynasty is more open than that of Da'anguo, and the requirements for women are not harsh, but if you want to enter the court as an official and lead the troops to fight, it is really wishful thinking.

Qingsleeve walked in and reported: "Miss, the store has arranged for manpower to take over again, and after a two-day break, it can be reopened." ”

Mu Yunlan came back to her senses, nodded and said: "Okay, Qingsleeves, this time we can escape the catastrophe, thanks to my mother's previous care, so this time, the store is reopened, and the accounts must be clear, make two copies of each, and keep them separately in case of emergency." ”

"Yes, miss."

From the moment she decided to dismiss those people, she secretly began to prepare to prevent the dismissed employees from making trouble, although she found a lot of mistakes, but the strength was still weaker. Fortunately, the old shopkeeper who originally followed her mother took out the account book, relieved her of her crisis, and allowed her to boldly let go.

"By the way, miss, when Mr. Wenyu investigated, he found that Qian San and Zhou Qi were secretly bought."

Mu Yunlan propped her chin, her smart eyes were full of bright smiles: "I just dismissed them, and I didn't cut off their way of life, if I wasn't bought, I could give up my life to hit the stone lion." However, now it's okay, Zhou Qi is not dead, and some people are afraid that they will not be able to sit still......"
