Chapter 399: Confronting in public
"Who is Mr. Ye?"
Mu Sheng was puzzled, and at this time, a female voice interjected: "Of course it's the Pavilion Master of the Fragrance Hunting Pavilion, Mr. Ye Lanrou, the fifth lady of the Ye family!" ”
The words fell, and Mu Mingzhu walked to Su Huaiyuan's side.
She also wore a powder blue dress, but she had a lot more jewelry than the others, and she looked more luxurious and smart.
Mu Mingzhu glanced at Wei Yan first, and then looked at the Mu family brothers.
"Mr. Ye donated most of his life savings to the Women's Academy, and also handed over the spice formula developed for many years to Su Gongzi, so righteous, does the eldest brother and second brother think that she can't afford the title of Mr.?"
Ye Lanrou's incense-making skills are among the best in Zhaoling, and her recipes are naturally priceless.
Not only Mu Mingzhu, but also the girls who were taken in by the Poetry Society also remembered Ye Lanrou's kindness.
If a woman can go to school, why shouldn't she be called a gentleman?
Mu Sheng didn't refute this sentence, only frowned and looked at Mu Mingzhu: "Didn't the second aunt let you stay at home, why did you come here?" ”
Before, Mu Mingzhu took the initiative to invite Bai Xiwu to participate in Mu Qingqing's wedding, which almost angered Jiang Yunqiu, for fear that she would cause any more trouble, and the second master of the Mu family directly banned her feet.
Mu Mingzhu pursed her lips and said confidently: "The eldest brother and the second brother can accompany Miss Wei to hang out here, why can't I come?" ”
It seems that Mu Sheng is deliberately currying favor with Wei Yan.
Mu Sheng's brows furrowed even tighter, Wei Yan didn't want to argue with Mu Mingzhu, looked at Su Huaiyuan, and pulled the topic back.
"I didn't see the sacrificial objects in the poetry society, and I just heard someone playing the pipa, when did Zhaoling use the custom of playing mourning music with the pipa?"
Wei Yan was very sure that she heard the frolicking, if they were really mourning Ye Lanrou, how could they laugh?
"What does Miss Wei mean by that?" Mu Mingzhu sneered and said unceremoniously: "Ye Nian was killed in the Wei family, and Lord Wei hasn't given an explanation to the Ye family, so Miss Wei is still asking about the guilt?" ”..
"Mu Mingzhu, you are presumptuous!"
Mu Sheng scolded angrily, Mu Mingzhu was a little scared, but Su Huaiyuan stepped forward half a step forward to block her behind, and said softly: "Sister Ling is just too sympathetic to Mr. Ye and Miss Ye, and please don't blame Brother Mu." ”
Su Huaiyuan's protection gave Mu Mingzhu confidence again, she glared at Wei Yan and said, "I'm just telling the truth, Miss Wei is in such a hurry to come to the poetry club, I'm afraid it's to cover up her sweetheart's crimes!" ”
Mu Mingzhu's words were obviously aimed at Zhou Jinchao.
Wei Yan raised her eyes, looked at Mu Mingzhu fixedly, and asked, "What does Miss Mu mean by this?" ”
"You know what I mean!"
Mu Mingzhu retorted without hesitation: "The surname Zhou has been pretending to be crazy and stupid in the past years, and now he finally has the opportunity to cling to the Zhongyong Uncle's Mansion, he is ruthless and harmful, and you still have to cover up for him, you are really blind!" ”
The more Mu Mingzhu spoke, the higher her voice was, and she was extremely indignant.
Wei Yan was not angry, and only looked at Su Huaiyuan: "This is how Su Gongzi made up rumors?" ”
Before Ye Nian died, he had only seen Su Huaiyuan as an outsider, and only Su Huaiyuan knew that she was almost strangled to death by Zhou Jinchao, and Mu Mingzhu could only say such things from Su Huaiyuan.
Without waiting for Su Huaiyuan to explain, Mu Mingzhu preemptively said: "If people don't know, unless you don't do it, is Miss Wei so afraid that I am telling the truth?" ”
Wei Yan didn't have a weak heart to be afraid at all, but as soon as Mu Mingzhu said this, the others immediately cast their eyes and looked at them directly.
Mu Sheng felt that the situation was not good, and wanted to persuade Wei Yan to go back to the carriage first, but Wei Yan said loudly: "Ye Nian was poisoned, the government will definitely investigate it thoroughly, but her death has nothing to do with the Zhongyong Mansion!" ”
"How do you know ......"
Mu Mingzhu wanted to refute, but Wei Yan's eyes were frightened: "Uncle Zhongyong is a veteran of the court, even His Majesty has to respect three points, and King Pingxi is a great hero of Zhaoling, Miss Mu had better think about what crime should be committed to framing important ministers in the court before she speaks!" ”
Wei Yan doesn't like to argue with others, she is gentle and gentle on weekdays, but her eyes are very sharp at this time, revealing ruthlessness, and Mu Mingzhu is cold on her back.
Wei Yan looked at the others and said, "The court opened a women's school so that women can also read and reason, not to let you listen to rumors and say that people are right and wrong. ”
Wei Yan's words were loud.
Mu Sheng also nodded and said: "King Pingxi has trained in Yizhou for three years, he has managed the army well, never allowed the soldiers in the army to oppress the people, and never stained women, there must be something hidden behind this matter." ”..
"Miss Wei and Brother Mu are right, King Pingxi's character is known to the world."
Su Huaiyuan first affirmed the character of King Pingxi, and then changed his words: "But Mr. Ye and Miss Ye didn't covet anything, but they lost their lives, why is this?" ”
Mu Sheng couldn't answer.
After all, these are two living human lives, and he can't jump to conclusions.
"This is going to ask Ye Lanrou, when King Pingxi was alive, she refused to tell Miss Ye's life experience, but she had to wait until King Pingxi died, isn't it bullying the dead and not being able to speak?"
Wei Yan was very calm, so calm that she was almost indifferent.
King Pingxi's return to Yizhou was not a day or two, but a full three years, and Ye Lanrou had time to tell the truth.
Su Huaiyuan stared at Wei Yan for a long time, and suddenly sighed, as if he was disappointed in her because of Wei Yan's words.
Mu Mingzhu immediately spoke: "As a woman, why can't Miss Wei understand Mr. Ye's hard work and grievances over the years, but have such great malice towards her?" ”
"There is a provision in the law of Zhaoling, and those who question it should provide evidence, if everyone says that they have the flesh and blood of the king of Pingxi, will the king of Pingxi have to admit it?"
Of course, Wei Yan knew how many strange eyes and criticism Ye Lanrou had endured over the years, but it was precisely because she was a woman that Wei Yan felt that Ye Lanrou's behavior was very contradictory.
At the beginning, Ye Lanrou would rather die than confess to her adulterer, and gave birth to a child, she should have loved each other miserably, so why did she destroy King Pingxi in such a decisive way now?
Mu Mingzhu couldn't say anything about Wei Yan, her eyes were red with anger, and she said unreasonably: "Mr. Ye and Miss Ye are already dead, and they won't bring any trouble to King Pingxi and Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion anymore, why does Miss Wei still hold on to them?" ”
It was obviously them who were holding on to this matter, but Mu Mingzhu beat it upside, as if Wei Yan forced the mother and daughter to death.
Wei Yan looked at everyone and said calmly: "I'm just here today to remind you that you come to the school to study and learn your skills, don't be taken advantage of, say things you shouldn't say, do things you shouldn't do, and finally be pushed out as a scapegoat!" ”
Wei Yan didn't look at Su Huaiyuan, but every word was aimed at him.
Su Huaiyuan helplessly held his forehead: "Miss Wei's prejudice against me seems to be getting deeper and deeper. ”
"I have no prejudice against Su Gongzi," Wei Yan denied, her gaze moved to Su Huaiyuan's face, "I will find evidence so that Su Gongzi can get the punishment he deserves!" ”
