Mu Xiao hurried back to the courtyard where the Mu family temporarily lived, walked into the main hall, and saw his father sitting in the center of the room with a calm face, his mother sitting on one side, and the old housekeeper's son Ah Fu hanging his head and standing respectfully in front of them.

Mu Xiao stepped forward to salute her parents, and then walked over and stood beside her father. I only heard my father ask Ah Fu: "Have you ever gone to Lord Zhizhou?" ”

Ah Fu replied: "I went to find it, and Lord Zhizhou said that this is the meaning of the above, and he can't do anything about it." However, Lord Zhizhou still cares about our family, saying that he will try his best to take care of the eldest master and the third master. ”

Master Mu got up from his chair, paced back and forth in the room for a few steps, and then sighed and said, "I'm afraid that there has been a big change in Beijing, we are here, we can't get any news, I'm afraid it's ......."

Master Mu motioned for Ah Fu to go down to rest, and he told his second son Mu Xiao what happened. It turned out that something had happened in his hometown, and someone from the government suddenly took away the eldest master and the third master, and detained them in prison. Master Mu is the second oldest in the family, and the eldest and third masters in Ah Fu's mouth are the eldest and third brothers of Master Mu. The old lady of the Mu family is still there, and she and her female relatives are confined in the mansion and cannot enter and exit at will, and there are officers and soldiers guarding the mansion.

As for why he took away his eldest brother and third brother, and put his family members under house arrest, the government did not have a clear explanation. Old Man Mu thought about it, the crown prince and the third prince were afraid that they would fight head-on, and it was likely that the third prince would lose the upper hand. He was anxious, worried about the safety of his old mother and brothers, and worried about the safety of his eldest son.

Mu Xiao listened to his father's words, and he was also very worried and uneasy, he volunteered to say to his father: "Dad, otherwise I will go back to my hometown to see the situation?" Or, I'm going to find the big brother in Beijing? ”

Master Mu waved his hand and said, "No!" If you go back now, you're just sending one more person to prison. I can't go to Kyori either, the situation is unclear, so don't act recklessly. The most important thing now is to be able to inquire about the current situation in Kyori. ”

As he was talking, the servant reported at the door: "Master Bai has arrived!" ”

Master Bai, the owner of Baijiabao, strode into the main hall and said loudly to Master Mu: "Brother Mu, I have some news here and want to tell you." ”

Master Mu hurriedly gave up his seat, and the two sat down to talk.

Master Bai said: "News from the capital, the prince and the third prince have met each other. As a result, the three princes lost here, and now they are nowhere to be found. The crown prince has occupied the forbidden palace, and it is rumored that the emperor is seriously ill......"

Master Mu sighed and said, "Brother Bai, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, our Mu family is afraid that we will bring big trouble to your Baijiabao." The dog didn't listen to my persuasion, and insisted on following the third prince, now, I'm afraid that I can't be good, and there is also a change in my hometown...... "Saying that, he told the news brought by Ah Fu to Master Bai 1510. In the end, Master Mu said: "We will leave tomorrow, and we can't cause trouble for you, Brother Bai." ”

The master of Baijiabao immediately stopped at this time and said, "Where can you go if you go now?" I, Baijiabao, am not a cowardly and unrighteous lord. You can live in peace, Baijiabao is in the countryside, and ordinary people can't find it. We'll go outside and find out more......"

After Master Bai left, Master Mu and Mrs. Mu sighed again, it was useless to be anxious, they had to wait for new news to come. On their side, they were grateful to Master Bai.

Besides, Mrs. Bai, after learning the news, said to Master Bai: "Alas, I didn't expect such a thing to happen, is this seizure of the throne a trivial matter?" Our Bai family has always been free in the rivers and lakes, and now it is involved, in case ...... I originally looked at his second son-in-law very well, and he was a good match for our Shui Yun, and wanted to promote this family affair, but now something like this has happened...... Our Shui Yun is already frail and sickly, and her heart is high, so she wanted to find a family affair for her that she liked, and let her go, and if she could live a few comfortable days, she would live a few comfortable days...... But now that there has been such a change, don't talk about marriage, I'm afraid that even the peaceful days of our Bai family will ......"

"Don't say it, at this time, I can't kick out their family."

When Mrs. Bai heard this, she was also helpless. Their words happened to be listened to by Bai Shuiyun, who walked to the door, word for word.
