Chapter 199: True or False
Madame Mu looked incredulous, as if she had seen a demon or a monster, and her delicate body trembled incessantly, like a delicate flower withering in the cold wind.
"Xianggong has always cared about the affairs of the back house, and has been ...... I love Miss Three very much, how can I suddenly ......"
"I don't want to argue with you at the gate of Jingyuan, I thought you would finally figure it out, and I always gave you a chance, and I didn't want you to be too shameless!"
Mu Qi faced directly at the closed door, and there was a hint of heartache hidden in his deep eyes, which made people's hearts sour, and the door was never opened from beginning to end.
"Let's go back."
He dragged Mrs. Mu directly into the carriage, slightly rude, Mrs. Mu's arm was scratched very painfully, seeing Xianggong's indifferent face, biting his lip and not daring to complain, sitting in the carriage with a handkerchief choked and crying, Mu Qi kept his eyes closed, and his eyebrows were very deep.
The tricks of the past were not easy to use, and Mrs. Mu choked up and said, "What about Brother Jin?" If he can't let it go, won't we be doomed? β
Mu Qi pressed his eyebrows irritably, and said lightly: "The Treasure Pavilion is about to be sold, even if Mu Jin can come out, he will no longer be the eldest young master of the Treasure Pavilion." β
"What?" Mrs. Mu forgot her tears, "With Mrs. Yong'an Hou here, who can let us have nothing?" β
There was a bitter smile on Mu Qi's lips, he had already given up communicating with the simple Mrs. Mu, and naturally he was not interested in explaining more to her, so he just grabbed her arm and said with a rare and serious expression:
"Brother Jin'er's case, the yamen will judge how it should be judged, I won't ask, I have asked myself to be worthy of him all these years, there are a lot of things that should be given to him, he is used to being lawless, framing Chen Shilang not to mention, he still wants to throw my own daughter to the rivers and lakes to waste ......"
"You still doubt, suspect that Brother Jin is your blood and bones?"
Mrs. Mu's face turned pale, and her lips were bloodless, "Didn't the doctor say that he was born in less than a month, you once said that you believed me, if he wasn't your blood and bones, how could I keep matching him and the third miss?" β
Mu Qi smiled noncommittally, Mrs. Mu's heart was cold, and her hands, feet and limbs were frozen.
"I didn't care if you were a virgin since I married you, and the little steward of a wealthy family never cared about this, could it be that you haven't heard that the master who has served the male master is allowed by the female master?"
His tone became more and more indifferent, and he pursed his lips sarcastically, "You never mentioned exchanging my daughter for Mrs. Yong'an Hou!" If I had known that Mu Yuan, who I grew up holding in the palm of my hand, was not my species, I would have rushed to the gate and brought back my sister-in-law! β
"At that time, the truth was revealed, and you didn't say anything, Miss San has always grown up with us, she is smart, kind, beautiful and reasonable, and can help you...... You also took my hand and said she was the best daughter! β
Mu Qi's eyes were cloudy, his arms trembled lightly as if he was uncontrollably, barely suppressing the extra emotions, and his thin lips spat out cold words: "You remember it for me, I don't allow you to see my sister-in-law again, don't force me...... Kill you silently. β
"Ah, Xianggong."
Mrs. Mu saw Mu Qi's palms covering her face, and even saw the tears falling from his fingers, he actually cried?
"Park, park."
Mu Qi's voice, without waiting for the carriage to stop, he jumped directly from the carriage, Mrs. Mu had never seen him look so depressed, he tripped over a stone and stumbled, "Xianggong......"
Before he could exit his mouth, Mu Qi's figure gradually disappeared, submerged into the remnants of the sunset.
Mrs. Mu felt that her husband had completely left her at this moment, as if she would not come back, "No, don't go." β
She wanted to chase after her, but her body was paralyzed, and she didn't know where to find Mu Qi, tears flowed down the corners of her eyes, she seemed to have never known the taciturn man, as if she had always been an honest man.
I don't know what else he will do outside of business such as the Treasure Pavilion, and I don't know what his real close friends are.
"Madame, where are we going? Are you going home? β
"Home?"
Mrs. Mu chewed on the word home in a daze, her son was trapped in a prison cell, his life and death were uncertain, and her husband never looked back, which was her home? Mo wiped away his tears, "Go to the Yong'an Hou Mansion, no matter what, I will ask my wife to help, as long as Brother Jin can come out safely, I can explain clearly to Xianggong, he is Xianggong's only blood, and his son is not more important than his daughter?" β
At this time, she couldn't care if the third miss would dislike herself and Mu Jin, and the third miss would definitely help her.

The night is dark, the quiet garden is silent, and the moon is like water, pouring down.
The fat girl was busy preparing for the young lady to enter Beijing, she was packing up her clothes and other things, and sometimes looked up at the young lady sitting next to the guqin, since Mu Qi appeared and dragged away Mrs. Mu, the young lady was silent, sitting next to the guqin in a daze.
Mu Qi's words were naturally passed into the ears of the young lady who was guarding the door, and the young lady was still laughing when she heard it, and the fat girl asked Mu Wu curiously what she was laughing at?
Mu Wu told the fat girl that a year ago, she would be moved by Mu Qi's words, but now Mu Wu will not.
There are many people in the world who are good at hiding their true intentions and acting in disguise, Mu Wu is a qualified audience, maybe she will devote herself to the atmosphere they create, but that's all.
The fat girl didn't understand the transaction between Mu Wu and Mrs. Xia, she didn't understand what kind of catastrophe the Mu family of the Treasure Pavilion was going to face, and how could Mu Wu, who was the real murderer behind the scenes, not know?
Mu Qi didn't show Mu Wu's surprise this time, after all, a person who can make a big business will never be as naΓ―ve and stupid as Mrs. Mu!
"I'll go out for a walk."
Mu Wu walked out of the room with the guqin in her arms, and her voice was very soft: "You don't have to follow me...... I want to be quiet. β
The fat girl said: "The night breeze is cool, Miss be careful." β
Mu Wu snorted, went to the backyard alone, sat cross-legged on the big rock by the lake, a guqin was placed horizontally on her knees, and the cold moonlight seemed to be particularly partial to her, lining her indifferent, cold and dusty.
The leisurely sound of the piano came into the ears of Liu Saburo, who was only a wall away, he raised his eyes from the scroll in his hand, looked in the direction of Jingyuan, frowned slightly thoughtfully, and asked in a low voice, "Who went to Jingyuan today?" β
"Back to the master, Mrs. Mu once went to Jingyuan, and then was taken away by the wooden shopkeeper, and the wooden shopkeeper once left a message to say that he recognized Miss Mu!"
Liu Saburo's fingers tapped rhythmically on the tabletop, and his sword eyebrows flew, "The wooden shopkeeper said he recognized?" β
The scholar nodded.
"I remember he didn't seem to say much......
Liu Saburo suddenly stopped, and the ethereal sound of the piano also suddenly paused for a moment, Liu Saburo stood up, hesitated for a moment, climbed up the big tree, climbed along the trunk to the next quiet garden, and covered his body with the leaves, first glanced at a dark corner without light, and after seeing the girl caressing the qin under the moon, he couldn't take his eyes off it.
Like the people hiding in the shadows, looking at Mu Wu who was alone.
