Chapter 913: On the Eve of the Trip (20)

The time was indeed about the same, and it was inconvenient for the young couple to stay longer, so they set off immediately and left the Mu Mansion.

Mu Zhilan looked at the back of the young couple leaving, still worried, Xiao Zhiyuan saw it in his eyes, and quietly took her hand.

Mu Baichuan and Zhao Zhiliang also went back to their courtyard, she walked to the side hall and sat down, Mu Zhenhua was making tea there, seeing her daughter frowning, knowing what she was worried about, she didn't know how to comfort her, so she only pushed a cup of tea to her.

Mu Zhilan looked at it in a daze, but her thoughts drifted far away, and it was a long time before her beautiful eyes, which were stained with traces of time, looked at Xiao Zhiyuan and asked,

"Zhiyuan, then you tell me frankly, Chen'er and him...... Do you know about his father's situation? ”

Xiao Zhiyuan had just taken Mu Zhenhua's tea set and was making tea, when he heard his wife's question, the movements in his hands stagnated for a moment, and soon returned to nature.

"Zhilan, frankly, I don't know."

Xiao Zhiyuan's voice was as gentle as ever.

"Zhiyuan, you said that Cheng Lan is mentally ill, it must be Chen'er, is it true?" Mu Zhilan's faint voice sounded again.

Xiao Zhiyuan put down the tea set in his hand, and looked at this wife, who had always been demure and gentle in his eyes, his eyes flashed with eager anticipation, he pursed his lips, he still didn't fully enter her heart, otherwise she would still ask such questions after more than 20 years of husband and wife.

"Zhilan, you know, I won't lie to you, Cheng Lan did suffer from a very serious mental illness after leaving the Mu Mansion, Cheng Lang let him be treated in country D for several years before he got better, I did hide something from Chen'er and them. Cheng Lang values Chen'er, her daughter's factor is of course the most important, and this factor alone is enough to stand up. ”

"In addition, it is not excluded that Chen'er's father's background is, as for what his background is, where he is from, where he is distributed, and whether his strength is above our Mu family, Cheng Lang has never mentioned it at all, I really don't know, it's just speculation. Over the years, I either haven't sent someone to check, or my father has also sent a lot of people to check, but nothing has been found, I don't know if Cheng Lang has not negotiated with him at all, or is it ...... People are gone, and we don't know. ”

Xiao Zhiyuan's words fell, and there was no loneliness in his eyes, especially after seeing the disappointment in Mu Zhilan's eyes, over the years, no matter how hard he tried, Mu Zhilan never gave up chasing the slightest trace of that person.

Although he knew his place very well, to be able to marry her, and to have a child in common, he should be content.

"Lan'er, what that person is like has nothing to do with our family, it has nothing to do with Chen'er, you can live with Zhiyuan with peace of mind, don't think about other things."

Mu Zhenhua has said this to Mu Zhilan countless times, but in front of the husband and wife, it is the first time he has said it.

Xiao Zhiyuan and Mu Zhilan respect each other like guests, but they have never reached the bottom of her heart, which is a tacit thing for everyone in the Mu Mansion except for Mu Yuhao.

"Father, Zhiyuan, I'll go over first, let's talk."

Mu Zhilan didn't answer Mu Zhenhua's words, and didn't want to explain too much, so she walked towards the villa area with such a sentence lightly.

It wasn't until she had already gone away that Xiao Zhiyuan smiled bitterly and said to Mu Zhenhua, "Father, in this case, please don't say it in front of me next time, Zhilan will be embarrassed." ”
