Chapter 96 The Lamb to the Slaughter
Soon, everyone saw Mu Xiaochu, at this time she was wearing a big red skirt, the skirt was a little flowery, a belt that could just outline the waist line was tied around her waist, a pocket sword was embroidered on the cuffs, her head was fixed by a simple hairpin, her face was ruddy, her eyelashes were slightly raised, her eyes were full of seriousness, her petite nose, her red lips, she was so stunning at first glance, and she would find that this beauty could not be blasphemed at the second glance.
Soon, Mu Xiaochu sat down under the support of the four elders.
Different from the previous family banquets, the people who came this time were the number one in the capital.
In addition to the eye-catching Mu Xiaochu, there are also Jin Jubao, Shi Jinyun, Yi Shaoyun and others who are seated under the seat.
Jin Jubao looked at Mu Xiaochu and said, "I didn't expect her to dress up like that." ”
Shi Jinyun put down the wine glass in his hand, "Yes, I want to marry." ”
Jin Jubao's eyes widened, "Are you kidding?" ”
Shi Jinyun looked at him silently, and then looked at Mu Xiaochu.
At this time, the Great Elder introduced, "This is the only head of our Murong Mansion, the head of Mu Xiaochu's family. Then the style of painting changed, "If someone dares to bully her, she will not be able to get along with my Murong Mansion!" ”
"Boom-"
The people below discussed in a low voice, "It seems that the previous rumors are true, Murong Mansion really let such a young girl be the head of the family, I think they are crazy, if Murong Feng doesn't want it, you can give it to me." ”
"But no, I really didn't expect a famous family to do such a stupid thing in the end at its peak."
……
Mu Xiaochu above naturally saw the suspicion in everyone's eyes, but she didn't explain much.
Jokes, why explain to irrelevant people.
Now these people are slowly suspicious of Mu Xiaochu, but when they saw that Murong Mansion had become the first family in the capital a few years later, they all regretted that they were not close to Mu Xiaochu today.
Except, of course, the three.
Halfway through the banquet, Mu Xiaochu left, anyway, everyone knew her, so there was no need to stay here.
Oh, by the way, all the big families in the capital are here, and there are very few people in the officialdom.
In addition to the officials in the capital, there are also several major families that cannot be provoked.
Among them are the Murong family, the Shangguan family, the Northern Underworld family, the family where Jin Jubao is located, and the family where Shi Jinyun and Yi Shaoyun are located.
There are also some families with good backgrounds, but they are not as good as they used to be over time.
After leaving the table, Mu Xiaochu came to a beautiful and hidden pavilion, where Qi Ziyan was located.
"Yan, what about Xiang Ming?" Walking into the pavilion while speaking, Mu Xiaochu had already changed into more light and comfortable clothes.
"He's out on business." A serious nonsense, completely forgetting that he asked the little guy to take Qin Xiangming out to 'play by himself'.
"Uh-oh." She sat down next to Qi Ziyan, casually took out a piece of fruit that had been cut from the table and put it in her mouth, "Well, it's so sweet-" After eating, she picked up another piece.
"There's a lot more here, don't rush." Looking at such a greedy person, Qi Ziyan smiled bitterly, he didn't know if it was good or bad to have a fiancée who loved to eat so much.
However, Mu Xiaochu is also very troubled by Mu Xiaochu's physique that he is not fat, and it seems that no matter how much he feeds, her wrist is so slender that he can easily cover it with one hand.
Thinking so, his eyes looked at Mu Xiaochu's wrist, which was very fair and slender, but it was not the kind of thin way where blood vessels could be seen, slender fingers, and the fingertips were also very rounded, but the round fingers of this matter were holding a piece of fruit, which was indescribably beautiful.
Qi Ziyan found that he was stunned for a moment!
"Ahem—" he coughed lightly, "and things are going well." ”
He asked about the banquet.
Although he could listen to the secret guard's advice.
When Mu Xiaochu heard this, he put down the fruit in his hand and said, "That's it, I went through the motions, and then I came back, haha-you don't know that those people's expressions are a little funny when they see me, what does that look like?" She touched her chin and thought, "Ah—I see, like looking at a fat lamb!" ”
After saying that, I couldn't help but laugh again.
"You-" I knew that those people thought that the Murong family had begun to go downhill after Xiao Chu became the head of the Murong family, but they didn't know that this was their uphill road......
At the banquet after Mu Xiaochu left, the four elders didn't say that they could leave, so everyone just sat on their seats and chatted in a whisper.
The content of the chat is nothing more than that: Murong Mansion has found such a family head, and he will definitely be removed from the family in the capital in the future.
After the Murong Mansion falls, the land that belongs to the Murong family will belong to them and so on.
However, the four elders listened and didn't say anything, but after seeing the three of them, they only looked up a few times in their hearts.
The Fourth Elder whispered to the Great Elder, "Well, those few are not bad, not the kind of people who belittle others. ”
The Great Elder also looked at it, and saw that several of them were drinking small wine, occasionally eating a few pieces, as if this was an ordinary banquet.
The Great Elder said angrily: "Who doesn't know how to do superficial kung fu." "That's why only those who can't hold their breath say those things here.
But he hadn't forgotten the performance of the three of them at the beginning.
Although it did not belittle their young head of the house, it did not feel good.
Soon the Great Elder said that he could move around as he pleased.
Although everyone didn't understand why they weren't just let them leave, they still yearned for the good scenery in Murong Mansion.
There are even those with daughters who admire several sons of Murong Mansion.
Jin Jubao and the others, who were leaving, were stopped in front of a pavilion, "Stop, outsiders can't enter here." ”
"Oh? Didn't the Great Elder say that the scenery here is whatever we can see, why can't it be now? Shi Jinyun smiled and looked at the guards who were blocking them.
Then he looked into the gazebo not far away, and he could vaguely see a man and a woman inside, but because of the distance, he couldn't see people clearly.
"Well, since we're not allowed to go in here, let's get out of here first." Yi Shaoyun said.
Shi Jinyun shrugged his shoulders and left indifferently.
It's just that before leaving, I glanced at the gazebo again, and happened to see the woman inside smiling brightly like a flower.
I was stunned for a moment, and I quickly left here.
At the same time, Murong Yanyun, who had been quiet for a long time, appeared, but he hid behind a tree, first looked at the three people who left, and then looked at the people in the pavilion, and finally a wicked smile flashed in his eyes, and the people quickly left.
The three of them left the pavilion and found another place with a beautiful view.
Not to mention, although this Murong Mansion is not as big as the suburbs, the scenery is much better than there.
At this time there was a lake where they were staying, and there were many fish in the lake, but they were not of a precious species.
Jin Jubao walked to the edge of the small lake and said, "Hey, look at it, the fish here are all common fish." ”
The other two also walked over, and when they saw that they were really ordinary fish, and they were all very large.
"If you eat it, it should taste good." Suddenly, Shijin Cloud Road.
"Haha—when you say that, I really want to eat fish." Jin Jubao looked at the fish in the lake, and his eyes were reflective.
It wasn't that he really wanted to eat it, but in response to the scene, he proposed, "Why don't we just grill fish here?" ”
Unexpectedly, it was actually the most stable Yi Shaoyun who said first: "Yes." ”
He'd seen it before he came, and it was a remote place, so no one should come.
And when the three of them are uninhabited, they often grill fish and eat them by themselves, and when they have the conditions first, they naturally don't want to wronged themselves.
As for the final destruction of the corpse, it is even simpler.
It's not a difficult thing to do.
Just as they were roasting the fish and about to eat it, a woman came and walked up to them dressed as a maid.
"Stop, what are you!" Jin Jubao reprimanded when he found out.
"I ...... Oh, no, it was the head of the house who called the slave and maid to come over and call a few masters to get together. The maid pretended to be timid.
After hearing this, Jin Jubao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and asked, "You said that your family master called a few of us over?" ”
"Yes." The maid nodded.
"Then let's go now." Jin Jubao took advantage of the maid's inattention to throw the fish in his hand into a corner, and the other two did the same.
Fortunately, the maid is still some distance away from them, so you may not be able to see what they are doing.
In the end, the weak-hearted people were led by the maid to meet the 'head of the house'.
But halfway through, Yi Shaoyun reacted, first looked at the leading maid, and then said to the two people beside him: "Don't you think there is something wrong with this maid?" ”
"How could it be, isn't it just a maid, what can be the problem." Jin Jubao was still praying in his heart that the young master would not laugh at them when the maid did not see them grilling the fish.
"I see." Shi Jinyun on the side suddenly said, "She may not be a real maid!" Because at first she said me, and finally changed to a slave. ”
"What's this?" Jin Jubao, "...... Well, I got it too. ”
It's all because they have been eating fish with a weak heart and were discovered, so they didn't realize that something was wrong until now, and then looked at the road the maid took them on, it was obvious that it was the inner courtyard.
Not to mention that several of them are not suitable for men to come to the inner courtyard, and ordinary family owners should not live in the inner courtyard, even if the other party is a woman.
It stands to reason that the house of the head of the house will be placed exclusively in the whole house with the best opponent, and the best opponent is obviously not the inner courtyard, but the outer courtyard.
Although they already knew that this maid was fake, they didn't expose it, but wanted to see what she was going to do next.
Joke, it's the first time someone dares to frame them so blatantly, and if they don't retaliate back, wouldn't they have been fooled in vain all these years!
And they want to know who dares to do it!
But they quickly fell into trouble......
"Here we are." Suddenly, the maid's voice sounded.
