You must know that a dereliction of duty can be big or small.

Especially if it is said in the mouth of a high-ranking and powerful person, it will become a dereliction of duty in vain for thousands of soldiers, can you imagine that this 'dereliction of duty' will be small?!

Before the crown prince was deposed, Qin Hanyu was deprived of the authority to take charge of the city defense because of a dereliction of duty.

Damn it!

Mu Qianyan secretly bit it, and the steps under her feet were also very fast.

As soon as Du Ruo returned to Beijing, the prince asked for a marriage to marry her.

It turned out that her good uncle had taken refuge with the prince long before he returned to Beijing!

Sure enough, as soon as she came to the study, she heard her good uncle playing a good hand of affection.

"Master Hou... For Yarou's sake, please help me... In the future, I Du Tianhong will not forget the great kindness of the Hou Ye!"

Mu Zheng's face was ugly and embarrassed, and he frowned tightly, obviously not rejecting Du Tianhong for a while.

"Uncle, if you still remember my mother, for my mother's sake, you shouldn't come to the Hou Mansion. ”

Mu Qianyan walked directly into the door, and even said it very directly.

actually has the face to mention her mother's name.

Her father is soft-hearted, and she is not confused.

"......" Du Tianhong was stunned for a moment, and it seemed that it was difficult to accept Mu Qianyan's words for a while.

Obviously, Mu Qianyan's words will save his face, after all, Mu Qianyan still calls him uncle!

"Yan'er, why are you here?" Seeing Mu Qianyan, Mu Zheng's brows eased slightly.

"Dad, if my daughter doesn't come, I'm afraid my father will be confused. ”

Although as a child, it is not appropriate to talk to the father like this.

But Mu Zheng couldn't hear that she was thinking about herself.

It was Du Tianhong, who heard Mu Qianyan's words so straightforwardly, his face became more and more unsightly.

"Yan'er, you are also my niece, we are a family, and now... Now that the prince has lost power, it will affect my Du family, and only Hou Ye can save my Du family, niece, you can do it, let Hou Ye lend a hand!"

It is not difficult to see that Du Tianhong has lowered his figure in front of Mu Qianyan!

Although he is an elder who comes to beg Mu Qianyan, the junior, he can't hold his face, but as he said, I am afraid that only Mu Zheng can save the Du family now.

And Du Tianhong is very smart, he never mentioned Du Ruo, he knows that his daughter Du Ruo and Mu Qianyan have a holiday because of the prince.

If it was before, he could have used Du Ruo to play the emotional card with Mu Qianyan again, but now it won't work.

Sometimes it's really a problem for people to be sentimental.

Du Ruo was amorous, thinking that she was going to fight for the prince, and so did her father Du Tianhong!

It's really self-inflicted.

Hearing Du Tianhong's words, the corners of Mu Qianyan's mouth rose, revealing a hint of sarcasm, "Uncle, I asked you to do well, don't drag our Hou Mansion to your troubled waters." ”

"What has my uncle done himself, I know in my heart, my uncle knows that my father has always been neutral, but he came to ask my father for protection, doesn't my uncle know what kind of consequences it will bring to my father and our Hou Mansion?"

Mu Qianyan was cold, and asked her good uncle bluntly and boldly!

Knowing that his crime was exposed, what would happen to him, but he still came to beg her father, didn't he obviously invite trouble to the Hou Mansion?

Can you have a face?

She didn't say anything heavier, she was already saving face for Du Tianhong.

Du Tianhong was stunned for three seconds, as if he didn't expect that Mu Qianyan would become so strong!

In his impression, this niece is proud of herself, how can she be so unkind as she is now?!

How could he not know that enriching one's own pockets is a serious crime, so how could he not be weak and afraid? Otherwise, he would not have come to Mu Zheng to intercede.

It was he who was at a loss, but when Mu Qianyan said this, Du Tianhong's face was as ugly as being slapped in the face.

He looked at Mu Qianyan and was speechless for a long time, "You..."

"I'm your uncle, and your mother is my own sister! You ......"

Du Tianhong was embarrassed and angry, and pointed at Mu Qianyan "you" for a long time...

Finally, he turned to Mu Zheng again, "Master Hou, my sister gave birth to a daughter for you at a young age, but is this how Master Hou taught his daughter?!If my sister knows about it, isn't Master Hou afraid that my sister will be difficult to look at?!"

Du Tianhong failed to intercede, but began to play tricks!

Blatantly accusing Mu Zheng of having no way to teach his daughter!

His sister Du Yarou, Mu Qianyan's mother, is now his only bargaining chip!

"Brother Tianhong......"

As soon as Mu Zheng wanted to speak, Mu Qianyan sneered:

"Heh, it turns out that my uncle still remembers my mother? Why have I not seen my uncle come to worship my mother all these years, in the cold season, or on my mother's death day? Besides, my mother has married my father, and life and death are all from the Mu family!"

"As for me, how did my father teach me, and what does it have to do with my uncle? Since my uncle attaches so much importance to the word morality, he should discipline others, and if my uncle is virtuous, why should he drag my father into troubled waters?"

"On the way to teach the girl, or the uncle is slightly better, the uncle should please go back, my father is tired, and he will not see any guests!"

If Mu Qianyan saved some face for Du Tianhong just now, then now, he doesn't save any face at all.

The words are blunt and harsh.

Of course, it was the ear that pierced Du Tianhong.

It's impossible not to be angry!

Du Tianhong looked at Mu Qianyan angrily, blew his beard angrily and stared at him, stunned and speechless for a long time......

Mu Qianyan's face does not change, there is a kind of person who can't give him face.

Give him a face, and he has to inch in.

There's a saying? Kick your nose in the face.

Then don't blame her for not giving face.

It's just a matter of saying that her father has no way to teach her daughter, and she actually says that her mother can't be blinded!

touched her scales, no wonder she said it badly.

She said so, Du Tianhong couldn't stay anymore if he had a little face.

snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves angrily, turned his head and left.

Mu Qianyan didn't even look at him, and turned her head to say her father again:

"Dad, you know that he can't get away with the crime, why don't you refuse him? What if it involves the Hou Mansion?"

She had a tone of complaining about grievances with Mu Zheng.

Mu Zheng frowned and took a deep sigh, "Yan'er, no matter what he says, it's also your uncle..."

Mu Zheng was thinking, is he really too unkind?

Du Tianhong came to beg him, but he didn't help him.

It was also up to Yan'er to drive people away.

"Uncle? Since he is an uncle, not only does he not understand his father's difficulties, but he also comes to his father to plead, isn't it obvious that he is dragging his father into the water? Father is soft-hearted, and his daughter is not confused!"

Mu Qianyan snorted in a nasal voice.

Even if it is a relative, it is always easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow.

Don't say that charcoal is sent in the snow, even if when he was in the scenery of the Du family, how could he ever see and think of the relatives of the Hou Mansion?

Now that she is in trouble, she remembers that she has come to her home.

Her family is not a living bodhisattva who saves suffering.

Hou Mansion Gate, which one is not a life? Let her good uncle be involved in the Hou Mansion, she won't do it!

Whether she is ruthless or cold-blooded, she only cares about the people she cares about.

As for the rest, what relatives are, it is not easy for her to do so.

said that he was an uncle, but he actually had no feelings at all.

Even Du Ruo can turn against her for the sake of the prince.

Knowing today, would Du Ruo still choose the prince at the beginning?

It's a pity that there is no early knowledge in this world, and the only 'early knowledge' is her.

But let her see how fragile the sisterhood with Du Ruo was.

Mu Zheng sighed or sighed, what Yan Er said, why didn't he understand?

But often, loyalty and righteousness cannot be both.

That's it, Hengzhu has already taken Du Tianhong's anger away, and it is useless to think about it.

How dignified the court has been in the past two days, Mu Zheng knows best.

The crown prince was deposed, and King Hong took the opportunity to eradicate dissidents, and in the future, I am afraid that no one will be able to stand in the way of King Hong.

He marquis, I don't know how long he can be alone?

"Master Hou!

Just as Mu Zheng and Mu Qianyan's father and daughter were talking, Li Wei's eager voice came in.

Someone walked in closely, with a look of urgency, "Master Hou, Aunt Zhao has an accident..."

"What?" Mu Zheng was immediately startled, and hurriedly asked, "What happened to Qiong Ge?"

Zhao Qiongge treated him with affection, and he also saw it really during this time.

originally thought that after a while, after the matter of the abolished prince subsided for a while, he would raise Zhao Qiongge's position again.

Didn't you think that Li Wei was in a hurry to say that something happened to her?

"Master Hou, Aunt Zhao suddenly vomited blood... The man has fainted..."

I'm afraid it's no longer possible......

The last sentence, Li Wei only said it in his heart, not on his lips.

However, from his face, he knew that Zhao Qiongge's situation was not very good!

Li Wei is a rough person, so he is not good at hiding his expressions, and belongs to the kind of person who writes everything on his face.

Mu Qianyan saw the seriousness from Li Wei's face at a glance, and her picturesque eyebrows wrinkled slightly, "Have you asked the doctor to see it?"

Zhao Qiongge's physical foundation was not very good, although he recuperated for a while later, but he was careless before, and the illness was caused by Yao's sachet scheme.

But when her father was poisoned, she saw that Zhao Qiongge's face had regained its ruddy and her spirit was much better, and she had asked Zichen to treat her, so she thought that Zhao Qiongge's illness was gradually recovering.

Now it seems that the recovery is fake......

A trace of worry flashed in Mu Qianyan's clear eyes, and there was a faint bad premonition in her heart.

Vomiting blood and fainting is not a trivial matter.

"Miss, when the last general came to report, he had already invited a doctor, but... Looking at the girl waiting beside Aunt Zhao, she said, Aunt Zhao ...... this time"

Li Wei was silent when he spoke, and the unspoken afterword was already obvious.

Zhao Qiongge this time, I'm afraid it's more than lucky...

After listening to Li Wei's words, Mu Zheng was still stunned, "Qiong Ge..."

I went to visit Zhao Qiongge in a hurry.

Looking at Mu Zheng's back, Li Wei frowned, hesitated for a long time, and seemed to have something unspeakable, "Miss..."

"What does Uncle Li want to say?" How could Mu Qianyan not see that Li Wei clearly had something to say?

Li Wei hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth, and said, "Don't hide it from the eldest lady, when the Hou Ye was poisoned, the last general saw Aunt Zhao as if she was looking for something from Zichen Gongzi? ”

"And this?" Mu Qianyan was slightly surprised.

Li Wei didn't say it, she didn't know that Zhao Qiongge had looked for Zichen?

Didn't she invite Zichen to treat Zhao Qiongge?

Zhao Qiongge is looking for Zichen, presumably also to treat the disease, right?

But when it came to Zichen, she almost forgot, with Zichen here, Zhao Qiongge shouldn't be in the way, right?

Thinking about it, Mu Qianyan moved, "Uncle Li, I'll go find Zichen and let my father rest assured that Aunt Zhao will be fine." ”

After saying that, he had already run out.

Looking at Mu Qianyan's back, Li Wei sighed deeply, he always felt that there must be something bad about seeing Zhao Qiongge looking for Zichen Gongzi inadvertently that day?

This time, Li Wei's bad feeling was very strong.
