Chapter 12: Jiangmen
The atmosphere was finally eased, and Mu Chuning was afraid that Yun Yiheng would ask something more, so he quickly changed the topic and talked about interesting things about their childhood.
When it comes to childhood, everyone is interested. They talked as if nothing had happened.
After lunch, Yun Yiheng didn't stay long because he wanted to go with Master Mu to learn about the operation of the shop in the afternoon, so he left first.
When Yun Yiheng walked out of the Chuzhi Pavilion, Mu Chumeng completely relaxed, and the whole person lay on the table like a deflated ball and sighed.
Mu Chuning also watched Yun Yiheng leave, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, because I kept thinking about whether Yun Yiheng would eat and ask something, my nerves have been tense.
"Sister, do you think my cousin will doubt us?" Mu Chumeng asked worriedly.
"Not yet."
"For the time being?"
Hearing this uncertain answer, Mu Chumeng, who was originally lying on her stomach, sat up straight and looked at Mu Chumeng in disbelief.
I saw Mu Chuning's serious expression, and her watery apricot eyes looked straight at the direction in which Yun Yiheng left.
Yun Yiheng obviously sensed something just now, but he didn't want to embarrass them, so he didn't continue to ask, if they were more careless in the future, I was afraid that they would not be able to hide it.
After all, Yun Yiheng's mind is so meticulous that even Mu Chunning can't compare to ......
"Meng'er, you remember to be cautious in the future, don't be as sloppy as you are today."
"Meng'er obeys her sister's teachings."
Mu Chuning saw that Mu Chumeng obediently lowered her head and replied, and nodded with satisfaction.
Somewhere on the outskirts, the sound of horses' hooves filled the woods, and the dirt road where three horses galloped kicked up clouds of dust.
And sitting on that horse was Mo Huai and the others who were going to Jiangmen.
"Young master, do you need to take a break?" Li You asked, after all, they had been on the road for three hours, and they hadn't eaten lunch yet.
"No, let's keep going."
"Yes!"
Mo Huai, who wanted to get to Jiangmen quickly, didn't care about that moment of rest, and although Li You felt a little hungry, he could only endure and rush silently.
After three and a half hours of riding horses and whips, Mo Huai and the others finally arrived at Jiangmen, which was five hundred miles away from Jinyuan City.
After handing over the horses to the steward, Mo Huai walked in. The guards at the door saluted respectfully, and Lizuo and Liyou silently followed Mo Huai on both sides and walked inside.
Jiangmen was originally Jiangmen Pavilion, but the owner of Jiangmen Pavilion felt that Jiangmen was more pleasant to read, so he omitted the name of Jiangmen.
Mo Huai followed the familiar road and quickly walked to the pavilion where the Jiangmen Pavilion Master was located.
"Wait for me outside the door."
"Yes, young master."
After Mo Huai finished speaking, he stepped forward and gently pushed the closed door open, and slowly walked inside and closed the door.
Li Zuo and Li You stared straight at Mo Huai's figure until they closed the door and couldn't see it, then they let go of their nerves and looked at each other.
"I'm a little hungry......"
"Bear with me, the young master can only leave when he comes out."
Li You sighed helplessly, while Li Zuo looked away wordlessly.
As soon as Mo Huai entered the room, he saw a tall figure standing in front of the desk. Although the man was facing away from him at this time, exuding the solemnity and calmness that belonged to the master of this Jiangmen, he made himself feel extremely cordial.
"Father-in-law." Mo Huai whispered to the back.
Hearing this, the master of Jiangmen Pavilion turned around suddenly, and his face was full of happiness and love when he saw Mo Huai.
"Xiaohuai is back, sit down!" The master of Jiangmen Pavilion said, motioning for Mo Huai to sit down on the soft couch next to him.
After Mo Huai sat down, he naturally reached out and picked up the teapot and teacup on the table, and handed a cup to the Jiangmen Pavilion Master before pouring himself a cup.
Looking at Mo Huai's action of pouring tea, the eyes of the Jiangmen Pavilion Lord were full of relief, and he slowly sat on the couch and looked at Mo Huai.
The real name of the master of Jiangmen Pavilion is Bian Jiang, but he has not married a wife at the age of forty, and there is only one righteous son under his knees, Mo Huai, who is loved in every way.
When Bian Jiang met Mohuai, it was nine years ago...... At that time, Mo Huai's father, Mo Feng, came to him secretly, probably because he sensed that something would happen later, and hoped that if he encountered something unexpected, Mo Huai could have someone to entrust.
Sure enough, something happened later, and when he heard the sound and arrived, he only saw Mo Huai's small body lying in the woods full of dead leaves, with some blood stains on his face, and the whole person was dying.
And Mo Feng was lying not far away, covered in blood and long gone. Although Bian Jiang was very sad at that time, he also endured it and buried Mofeng before bringing Mohuai back to Jiangmen to heal.
It's just that Bian Jiang's heart was filled with sadness at that time, although he felt a little wrong, he didn't think much about it, and when he returned to Jiangmen with Mo Huai, he remembered that the strange body of Song Yu, Mo Feng's wife, was missing.
It stands to reason that their family of three should be together, why did Song Yu disappear? I wanted to think that Song Yu was still alive but was taken away, but I didn't expect Mo Huai to tell him that he saw Song Yu die under the knife with his own eyes.
This made Bian Jiang even more puzzled, since he was dead, why did the corpse disappear? Could it be that the thief took it away?
This matter has also puzzled Bian Jiang for a long time, and he has not been able to come up with a reason until now. In addition, he didn't want Mo Huai to remember the sad thing, so he didn't mention it in front of Mo Huai.
Mo Feng was close friends with Bian Jiang during his lifetime, and since Mo Feng handed over his only son Mo Huai to him, he cultivated and loved Mo Huai as if he were his own.
"Father-in-law, why are you in such a hurry to call me back?" Mo Huai asked.
"Can't it be that I miss you and let you come back to see your father?" As he spoke, he drank tea without hurry.
Hearing Bian Jiang speak to himself in a childlike angry tone, Mo Huai smiled helplessly.
Indeed, he has been away from home for several months because he has to investigate his aunt's affairs, let alone come to see Bian Jiang.
"Father-in-law, it's the child's fault that I haven't been able to take time to see you recently because of my busy affairs, I hope my father-in-law forgives."
"Alright, I know you're busy. I'm just worried that you're too busy to take care of your body. ”
What Bian Jiang was worried about was the Gu poison in Mo Huai's body, and the fact that he had not been able to find a way to detoxify was a knot in his heart, which made Bian Jiang feel ashamed of his trust and entrustment in Mo Feng.
Knowing that Bian Jiang was worried about his body, Mo Huai felt a warmth in his heart. Since childhood, Bian Jiang has given Mo Huai no less love than his biological father, so in Mo Huai's heart, Bian Jiang and his biological father are on the same footing.
"Let my stepfather worry. But what is the so-called thing about my father-in-law calling me back? Mo Huai still wanted to know Bian Jiang's idea of calling him back.
"You went to Jinyuan City?"
"Yes."
"Do you know that person is also in Jinyuan City?"
Bian Jiang asked this, seeing that Mo Huai didn't take the next sentence quickly, he just lowered his head as if thinking about how to answer.
Sure enough, as Mo Huai expected, Bian Jiang was worried that the potential person in Jinyuan City would be dangerous to him.
"I know that person is there, but the most dangerous place is also the safest place."
"But if you stay there for a long time, no matter how safe you are, you will have a dangerous day."
"I just want him to find me, and then I will kill him to avenge my parents."
Hearing these words full of murderous intent, Bian Jiang was a little stunned. Only now did he realize that Mo Huai was no longer the dying child he had just brought back.
is a young man who can say the word revenge as coldly as he does now, and it seems that it is time for this revenge to come to an end.
"And the Mo family, I also want to take it back." Mo Huai lowered his tone when he said this, and the coldness in his eyes made people feel that he was full of murderous aura at this time.
Even Bian Jiang couldn't help but feel a chill when he saw Mo Huai like this......
"Since you've made up your mind, I can't stop you, so remember to be careful."
"Yes."
Mo Huai listened to Bian Jiang's words, and only then did he retract the chill just now, and nodded respectfully towards Bian Jiang.
Thinking that Lizuo and Liyou outside were still waiting for him, and he hadn't eaten anything after driving for so long, he must have been too tired.
"Father-in-law, the boy will go back first, and come back to accompany his father-in-law another day."
"Go ahead."
Seeing Bian Jiang waving his hand at him, Mo Huai got up and saluted, turned around and walked out the door.
"If you encounter something that you can't solve, remember to go back to Jiangmen to find your father-in-law, don't force yourself to bear it."
Mo Huai stopped when he heard this, but he didn't look back, and the corners of his mouth slightly hooked a touch of arc.
"Got it." After saying that, he pushed the door and walked out.
Outside the door, Li Zuo and Li You saw that their young master had finally come out, and they stepped forward to walk into Mohuai.
Seeing the tired looks of Lizuo and Liyou, Mo Huai sighed softly.
"Let's go, let's eat."
"Yes, young master!"
Finally looking forward to Mo Huai's words, Li Zuo and Li You couldn't even suppress the excitement in their answers, and the corners of their eyes were slightly happy.
Mo Huai reluctantly glanced back at the closed wooden door, then raised his feet and walked outside the door of the pavilion.
