Chapter 6: Midnight Ghosts

After Mu Youning sent Mu Feng away, she let go of the hand holding Xiangming, although her face was a little pale, but that delicate and powerless expression had dissipated completely.

She turned and went into the house, walked over to the couch and sat down.

Behind him, Aoyagi was very happy: "Miss, after this time, look at how the second miss bullies you." ”

"The master really hurts Miss, even Mama Liu and Mrs. Liu have dealt with it. ”

Mu Youning glanced at her, and only said that this girl is simple by nature, so it's okay, in her previous life, she finally failed them, and in this life, she only hopes that Aoyagi can always be so simple.

Xiangming was much more careful, she frowned slightly, and whispered: "Miss, I'm just afraid that the master will be unhappy." ”

Mu Youning was noncommittal.

It looks like she's got it all right.

But what kind of character Mu Feng is, how could he not see her intentions, but he still did what she wanted, firstly, he really felt sorry for her, and secondly, he wanted to dissipate Wang Xiran's arrogance.

Mu Youning thought to himself that if it weren't for today's events, Mu Feng might not know when Mama Liu colluded with Wang Xiran. If this back house becomes a one-man world, I am afraid that he will become blind. If Wang Xi gets infected with a different heart one day, it will be a catastrophe for the General's Mansion.

It's just that he was forced by his daughter to deal with his wife and daughter, and he was somewhat unhappy.

"Xiangming, inform the kitchen that I want to make soup for my father. ”

......

Mu Youning came to Mu Feng's study with the soup he had boiled for two hours.

"Father?" she asked, looking at the guards outside the door.

When the guards saw her coming, they hurriedly saluted: "Miss, the general is inside." ”

The courteous attitude is completely free from the perfunctory nature of the past.

Obviously, this morning's events have spread throughout the General's Mansion.

Mu Youning's face remained unchanged, nodded, and pushed the door in.

Mu Feng buried his head in front of the copy, his eyebrows furrowed, and he didn't look up when he heard the sound of the door opening.

"Father, I made chicken soup, and you drank it to warm up. Mu Youning said softly.

"Well, Youning has a heart. Only then did Mu Feng raise his head, take the chicken soup, and take a sip.

Mu Youning saw him drink a few sips before he spoke: "Father, do you blame me for today's incident?"

Mu Feng put down the bowl and pursed his lips silently.

Mu Youning glanced at the chicken soup that had splashed on the table, his expression remained unchanged, and he continued: "Father, now that Your Majesty is old, the matter of establishing a prince is imminent. My Mu family is a century-old family, and my father is a veteran of the two dynasties, so it is inevitable that he will be in the whirlpool.

"I know my father doesn't want to be involved, but my father. Once the floodgates are opened, no fish can be left alone, and my Mu family is just a fish in this torrent. It only depends on whether the father is willing to go down the river or swim against the current. ”

"Although there is no need to stand too early, the eyes of all parties have already been aimed at my Mu family. At this time, if you are not cautious in your words and deeds, once you are caught, you will be able to make great contributions and great achievements, and it will probably be the disaster of my Mu family!"

"What's more, the four countries have been divided for several years, and the time for recuperation has long passed. Why aren't the emperors of all countries ambitious and want to unify the four countries, and their achievements will be recorded in history. Even if he is safe and sound on the surface, who knows about the plot behind the scenes, and the spies cannot be guarded against. ”

"The mother may be decisive in setting up the house, but she is too doting on the second sister. And the back house of the Mu family is the back house of his father, not the back house of the Wang family. To put it mildly, if one day you really get into a spy, you are afraid that the Mu family will die. ”

Mu Youning's words wept blood, piercing Mu Feng's sore spot.

But although her words were ugly and difficult to hear, Mu Feng understood that her words were sincere.

What's more, Mu Youning's words are not groundless, the smell of blood in her previous life, the scarred head, although she can't see it, the smell and touch are engraved into her soul.

She would never let that happen again in this life.

Mu Feng pondered for a moment, and drank the bowl of chicken soup in one gulp, "Youning has good intentions, and he understands it for his father." ”

Mu Youning smiled.

"What was my father looking at just now, such a distressed look, but the border of Luming is coming again?"

Mu Feng shook his head: "No, now the border is quiet, which saves a lot of worry for my father." ”

Mu Youning pondered, afraid that it was the eve of the storm.

"Look at it, Wancheng County ordered Liu Cheng to die overnight, and he made several investigations, but he didn't know what the cause of death was. Mu Feng handed the letterhead in his hand to Mu Youning.

Mu Youning frowned: "Why didn't you submit this letterhead to the Imperial Historical Observatory for processing, how did you hand it over to your father?"

"The Wancheng County Commander was my subordinate in the past, and he has some connections with my Mu family. Mu Feng said.

Mu Youning nodded, took the letterhead, and took a quick glance, the letter was already two days ago.

I saw that the letter read: The day before yesterday, after receiving a letter, Lord Liu's face changed greatly, and then he locked himself in the study for a whole day, and the servant asked many times but did not hear back. Mrs. Liu was afraid that something would go wrong, so she asked the guards to forcibly open the door, but she saw Lord Liu lying on the desk, as if she was asleep. Mrs. Liu stepped forward and pushed him, only to find that the person was dead.

After conducting an autopsy, it was found that there were no injuries on the adult's body, but his eyes widened, as if he had seen something terrifying.

And when the body was found, the doors and windows were closed and locked from the inside.

For a while, he didn't know the cause of death, but said that he might have been scared to death.

What's even more terrifying is that that night, when a maid passed by the study, she saw a ghost.

So much so that it was rumored throughout Wancheng that Liu Cheng was killed by someone and died blindly.

Now after nightfall, there is silence in Wancheng, no one dares to walk outside, even if there is something that must be done, it is accompanied by several people.

It was really Liu Cheng's cause of death that was too strange, so Mrs. Liu asked people to send the letter to Mu Feng, asking him to help find out the reason, after all, Yushitai would not be too concerned about the death of a small county order.

"What does Father think?" Mu Youning asked as he folded the letter again and handed it to Mu Feng.

"This matter is quite strange, my father has already asked people to say hello to Yushitai, what does Ning'er think?"

Mu Youning pondered, and then said: "Father knows, Youning has never believed in ghosts and gods. ”

After speaking, Mu Youning was silent, she thought of herself, she didn't know whether her own situation was a ghost or a god.

She came back to her senses and continued, "You have to look at the corpse to know about it. ”

Mu Feng nodded, very satisfied with her steadyness.

He often regretted that Mu Youning was a woman, and if she was a man, his Mu family was afraid that she would be able to go to the next level.

"It's getting late, Ning'er go back and rest, and I'll go to the banquet tomorrow. ”

Mu Youning nodded, but didn't move, just said: "Father, as the daughter of the Mu family, if you don't appear at Concubine Dong's flower-viewing banquet tomorrow, I'm afraid it will attract suspicion from many parties." ”

Mu Feng was stunned, nodded, and looked at Mu Youning's gaze with two more points of pity, "It's still thoughtful Youning, and I'll let her out tomorrow." After the flower feast, I locked her up again, and sharpened her temperament, but I was wronged by my Jiaojiao. ”

"There is a father who hurts, and Youning is not aggrieved. Mu Youning smiled and said softly: "Father rested earlier, Youning went back." ”

Mu Youning walked out of the study, and the smile on his face was put away. Tomorrow, Mu Youran will definitely be released, why don't she personally give Mu Feng a step down, so that he can still think of her daughter.
