"Dad, no matter what happened back then, whether you were right or wrong, so many years have passed, there should always be a result, at least we have to think of a way, we can't go on like this, otherwise, sooner or later, one day, our second room will be over."

Mu Weishen slowly raised his head, his eyes were full of embarrassment, thinking of his wife Yang's words, he finally struggled to speak, "Your grandmother hates me, although it is because she loves your fourth uncle, but I don't complain at all...... Don't dare to complain ......."

Mu Yao's voice trembled, "What does my father mean by this?"

Muvisin gritted his teeth and said what had been buried in his heart for many years: "It's my father's fault...... If I hadn't made a mistake back then, your fourth uncle probably wouldn't have died......

He didn't want to mention these things for a word, because the truth was too heavy for him to bear.

But her daughter is growing up day by day, and sooner or later she has to know, rather than letting her be dragged down by herself unconsciously, it is better to plan early.

Mu Yao's eyes widened and asked, "How do you say this?"

Mu Weishen slowly closed his eyes, as if his whole body was suddenly strangled by an invisible string, and he was very tight.

He hugged his head, and his tone revealed the regret and pain in his heart: "That day, your grandmother ordered me to go to the outskirts of Beijing to welcome your fourth uncle back, and I was about to go out early in the morning, but I was temporarily tripped by a few fox friends and dogs. I thought about it, and I didn't have much time to lose, so I left the city half an hour late. But it's only half an hour...... Your fourth uncle was killed, and all the corpses of the whole place fell in pools of blood, and all of them died......

Mu Yao was confused and asked, "What, what's going on?" Didn't my father meet the thieves with my fourth uncle?"

Mu Weishen shook his head slowly, as if his head weighed a thousand pounds.

He said, "No...... I went late, and when I arrived, the person was already dead, but the body was still hot...... Even if I arrive a little earlier, just a little longer...... Your fourth uncle may still be alive......

Next to the dilapidated carriage on the outskirts of Beijing, Mu Shilang's body was separated and blood gushing out, and the gifts he brought back to everyone were scattered around, including the crab shell green Chengni inkstone that Mu Weishen had longed for.

Muveshin can barely remember the smell of blood.

He said, "I was so frightened that I didn't dare tell my grandmother, so I asked someone to go to your uncle for advice. When your uncle came, he said, "Let me kill all those who know about it, and then go back and tell your grandmother that I am the only one who has escaped and ascended to heaven, and I ...... What a wickedness! I was confused for a while, and then I listened to your uncle......

Mu Yao was almost stunned, opened her mouth but couldn't speak.

She looked at her father, who blamed herself and felt guilty, and she couldn't even say words of comfort.

She stared at him blankly, her lips almost losing blood, and it took a while for her voice to find her voice: "Father...... Kill all the people who followed you to pick up the fourth uncle?"

"Yes...... Kill them all, and the corpses will be mixed with your fourth uncle's people......

Mu Weishen kept carrying it on his shoulder, as if he was too pressed by sin to raise his head: "Then your uncle quietly left, and I ran all the way back to the house, telling your grandmother that we met thieves, and I was the only one who escaped......

Mu Yao's heart almost jumped out of her throat.

"Grandfather and grandmother...... I still don't know?"

Mu Weishen shook his head: "I don't know, if your grandmother knew, maybe the Mu family wouldn't even have a place for me......

Mu Yao's face was white and almost transparent, her lips trembled uncontrollably, and she asked, "So, my father has been obedient to Dafang for so many years, is it because of this?"

"Yes......"

Mu Weishen was so ashamed that he didn't dare to raise his head in front of his daughter.

"Compared to your uncle, I am close to your fourth uncle's age, we grew up together since childhood, and our relationship is the best, although your fourth uncle is a few years younger than me, he thinks about me everywhere, lets me, and doesn't care that I am a concubine. It's me who is sorry for him...... A few years ago, I had nightmares every night, and I could only barely survive by being drunk and dreaming all day long...... Yao'er, I'm a sinner...... Your father is a useless bastard!"

Mu Yao didn't expect it at all

That's how it happened......

She breathed deeply, and deeply, desperately trying to remove the fear from her body.

However, she was unsuccessful.

She wanted to say, "Father, it's not your fault," but for a while, she couldn't find a suitable reason to do so.

Mu Weishen's eyes were full of tears, he looked at his daughter's pale and frightened face, and muttered, "Yao'er, it's the father's incompetence that has caused you and your mother to be looked down upon along with me......

Mu Yao didn't react to what this meant at first, but then she understood and staggered back two steps.

Oh, yes......

Since the eldest uncle knows about this, does the rest of the big house also know about it?

I must know, at least my aunt must know.

Therefore, no one has ever put their second room in their eyes, and the second room has such a big handle in their hands, what kind of splash can they make?

She slumped into the chair behind her, so they never had a chance to roll over?

Mu Weishen was taken aback when he saw her look, and hurriedly walked in front of Mu Yao and asked, "Yao'er, are you ...... What's wrong with you?"

He immediately regretted that although his daughter was wiser than others, she was still a child, how could he tell her such a thing?

He sighed in a deep voice, and his worries about his daughter slightly / washed away the previous regrets, and gradually separated his thoughts from the pain of the past.

"Yao'er, can't you forgive your father too? The current situation of the second room is all my father's fault......

Mu Yao's mind was blank, imagining the bloody case that happened in the suburbs of Beijing that day, and the details of what her father said echoed in her ears over and over again, but it was still a mess, and she tried her best to grab a thread from the chaos.

"Dad, your mistake is to conceal it, not in the death of the fourth uncle, in the final analysis, the root cause is still in the person who killed the fourth uncle! As long as we find this person and find the murderer, we can comfort the fourth uncle's spirit in the sky, and we can also offset the sin of concealment for many years! Even if our grandparents know about it in the future, we won't fall straight into the abyss!"

Mu Weishen clutched his head in pain: "But your grandmother has been investigating for so many years without any clues, what can I do?"

Mu Yao thought of Li Qingyi's meaningful eyes today, and a thought flashed through his mind, and an extremely cold suddenly poured into the soles of his feet......

"Grandmother has no clues, or can't she look down?"

Mu Weishen raised his head and looked at his daughter's immature but dignified little face, "What do you mean by Yao'er?"

"Dad, think about the situation of the Mu family back then, who is the most beneficial to the fourth uncle when he dies? I don't think it's an outsider who killed the fourth uncle......

"Impossible!"

"How could it be?" Mu Yao took a deep breath and said, "The Mu family didn't have such a good fortune back then, but with the status of the Mu family today, how could there be no clues? The only reason is that my grandmother can't look down."

Mu Weishen's eyes flashed, he seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to understand, he was just stunned.

Mu Yao said: "The fourth uncle is gone, the grandmother has lost a child, if it is the uncle or the third uncle who killed the fourth uncle, the grandmother will not tell the truth even if she knows the truth, because she has lost a son and cannot lose another son, so she can't get justice for the fourth uncle, so for so many years, she has been venting the resentment and remorse in her heart on you!"

"Your uncle and third uncle?"

Mu Yao bit her lip, hating and angry, "Dad, think about the events of the day, you want to go out of the city to pick up the fourth uncle, why did you just stumble over someone so coincidentally? Could it be that someone is so ignorant of the depths, knowing that you have something to do, and still pestering you? What was the reason why you went to find Uncle later? Why did Uncle give you such an idea? Is he really thinking about you?"

Muveshin hugged his head in pain, his fingers almost piercing his scalp.

"Daddy!" Mu Yao stood up suddenly, and really felt that he hated iron and couldn't make steel, "Are you really unexpected, or are you running away!"

Muveshin was struck by lightning.

Mu Yao trembled angrily, "Dad, this Mu family is really worthy of you

Nostalgia? What kind of glory and wealth, even if we have our share, will it be comfortable to keep a low breath in exchange for what you get?"

"Yao'er, is Dad greedy for wealth? You are still young, I don't know how to enjoy the shade with your back against the big tree, if we leave the Mu family, my father will not have such great ability, and when the time comes, your mother and your brothers and sisters, I don't know how embarrassing the life will be, and what future will there be?"

Mu Yao bit her lower lip, of course she also knew this truth, "But I'm not willing to be rounded and flattened like this!"

"Yao'er!"

Mu Yao looked at Mu Weishen with a cold face, "If Dad doesn't agree with what Yao'er said, Yao'er won't force it, just ask Dad not to obstruct what Yao'er wants to do!"

With that, she turned and walked out of the small study.

"Yao'er!"

Mu Weishen chased a few steps, but Mu Yao didn't look back.

There was nothing wrong with my father's thoughts, but she couldn't agree!

If she asked Li Qingyi for help before, just to save a glimmer of life for the second room, then now, she has changed her mind!

She not only wants her father and brother to live well, but also makes the second room the "Mu family"!

The same surname Mu, the same blood of the Mu family, what can her father do if he is a concubine?

She must expose the ugly truth! Let those who are sanctimonious and whitewash the peace reap the consequences!
