Ling Shengxue looked at Master Mu, if he was a teenager who had just come down from the mountain a few years ago, he would definitely fight with reason, even if he was facing someone older than him, he would not hesitate to pour out his ideals that he had worried about the world again, but after a long time in the temple, he found that not everyone accepted his set. Those people are not completely without ideals, for example, the Lord Mu in front of him used to be a good official, he was not greedy or treacherous, he was already a clear stream, but the ups and downs of officialdom became sleek and lost his former passion.

At this moment, the butler walked in, bowed his head and whispered a few words in Master Mu's ear.

"Again?!" Master Mu was stunned for a moment, with a complicated look of irritability, anger and helplessness in his eyes.

"My lord, what's wrong, do you need help from juniors?" Ling Shengxue had a gut feeling that something was wrong.

Master Mu looked at him: "By the way, you are a disciple of Yuxu Mountain, a ...... who has learned spells."

"yes, what's wrong?" Ling Shengxue asked.

"......" Master Mu was still hesitating, and suddenly there was a bustling and noisy sound in the backyard.

"You must give an explanation from the Mu family, can you harm people if you are an official?"

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, I don't believe that he is lawless."

"Oh, my lord is not here, you can go back......"

"Who are you fooling? If you're not here every day, you just don't want to see us, beware of me suing the emperor! ”

“………”

Ling Shengxue listened intently, and only then did she stare at Master Mu until she couldn't hear clearly.

Master Mu said: "That's it, it's really Diaomin." Lord Ling, I'll leave this matter to you. ”

"What the hell is going on?" Ling Shengxue stood up.

"Come with me." Master Mu opened his cloudy eyes and stretched out his hand helplessly.

Ling Shengxue followed Master Mu to the backyard of the Mu Mansion, where the back door of the Mu family could already be seen, and it was separated from the outside by a wall.

There is a big plum tree in the yard, it is winter now, a thin layer of snow has fallen on the ground, the plum blossoms are vigorous, the plum is red and the snow is reflected, and the courtyard is full of fragrance.

"This plum blossom is blooming so well." Ling Shengxue praised.

Master Mu sighed, stretched out his hand and gently touched the plum branch: "This is planted by the little girl before." ”

"Before death? The young lady ......"

"It's been three years since my daughter Ruomei left." Tears flashed in Lord Mu's eyes, "She likes plum blossoms since she was a child, when she was ten years old, her mother took her to plant a plum tree in the yard, and it has not bloomed for five years, and the little girl died unfortunately at the age of fifteen, and since then this plum tree has bloomed every year, and the more it blooms, the more beautiful it is, and the little girl should be eighteen years old this year......

"Adult's Day Mourning." Ling Shengxue arched her hand.

Master Mu shook his head, stretched out his sleeve and wiped his eyes, took a long breath, and said, "There is a family opposite the back door, which is engaged in the cloth business, and the family is quite prosperous, and the house has been purchased and lived on the opposite side for several years. There is also a girl in the opposite family, who is about the same age as the little girl Ruomei, and she is eighteen years old this year, and she is about to get married. ”

Ling Shengxue waited for him to continue, and at this time the housekeeper had already rushed back from the back door: "It's just Diaomin!" My lord, these people are becoming more and more rude. ”

"Old Lu, go on, tell Lord Ling about the other side." Master Mu waved his hand.

"Oh, good." The housekeeper Lao Lu looked reddened and looked angry, "Lord Ling, you come to judge and see if the other party is rude!" ”

"Steward Lu, please speak."
