Mu Beiting was anxious in his heart, and his steps were much faster unconsciously, and it only took a moment to reach the roof of Xun Dai'er's room.

After glancing at the fact that there was no one around, he immediately floated to the ground, and when he looked around, he saw that the room was dark. He stepped forward, raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door, "Dai'er, are you in the house?"

I waited for a long time, but I didn't see any movement in the house to respond. At that moment, I heard footsteps coming from the corridor outside.

He listened to the sound and identified people, and after finding that the person who came was not Xun Dai'er, he jumped on the beam of the house.

The footsteps were getting closer, and when he reached the door of the house, he looked at it again, and it turned out that the person who came was Xun Dai'er's personal maid Jade.

This girl is someone he knows, and in the past few days, thanks to her, she covered Xun Dai'er every day to meet him. Seeing that he was reassured, he immediately jumped off the ground and fell in front of Jade.

Cuiyu was unprepared, and suddenly saw a black shadow falling from the sky, and was immediately startled, and let out an "ah".

Mu Beiting hurriedly said: "Cuiyu, it's me, don't panic." ”

Cuiyu froze down, and after seeing clearly that the person in front of her was Mu Beiting, she couldn't help but raise her hand and pat her chest, and said, "It turned out to be Brother Mu! You... Are you here to find Miss?"

Mu Beiting said: "Yes, but there is no one in the house, where has she gone?"

Jade said, "Miss... Miss She... I was just called over by my wife, as if I was going to Shanxi, and ordered me to come over and pack some change of clothes for Miss. ”

Mu Beiting's expression tightened, and he asked urgently, "Did you say what you were going to do?"

Cuiyu shook her head and said: "I don't know the specifics, I just said that I went to worship the old people." ”

Mu Beiting's eyes froze, and then he asked again: "Then do you know Ma Li's person? Have you seen him in person?"

Cuiyu suddenly lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Ma Li? Oh, you know, Ma Li's father and my master are the brothers of the righteous Jinlan, but..."

Mu Beiting saw that Cuiyu wanted to speak and stopped, and hurriedly asked, "But what?"

Cuiyu hesitated for a long time, and said in a lower voice: "Ma Li and Miss... In the womb of the mother, he was fingered as a marriage..."

After hearing the words "fingertips for marriage", Mu Beiting only felt that it was dark in front of him for an instant, and his chest seemed to be pressed against a thousand-pound stone, which made him almost suffocate, and it took a long time before he gradually eased up.

At this time, his heart was sour, his grief and indignation could not be discharged, and he just muttered to himself: "It turned out to be true, it turned out that all this is true..."

Seeing that his face suddenly turned pale, Cuiyu's body kept shaking, as if he was about to fall, and immediately asked urgently: "Brother Mu, you... Are you alright?"

Mu Beiting's figure froze, and then he immediately raised his eyes to look at Cuiyu, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and he asked coldly: "Why have I never heard her talk about this? Why don't you tell me?"

Jade was stared at by him, and said in a trembling voice: "I... I... Don't let me say it, woo woo..."Before he finished speaking, he began to cry.

Mu Beiting saw her crying, and the anger in his heart also subsided slightly, and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have spoken to you in such a tone." You go, you don't have to talk to your young lady about tonight, just because I haven't been here. ”

After he said this, without waiting for Jade to react, he went straight to the courtyard and jumped onto the roof, and then walked quickly to the guest room. After he walked the distance between the two rooms, he faintly heard the voice of Jade behind him shouting, "Actually, no..."

It's a pity that at this moment, he has made up his mind, and he is walking too fast under his feet, and after only hearing these three words, the rest of the words can no longer be heard clearly.

At this time, Lin Zongyan, who was staying in the house, was lying on the bed with Erlang's legs crossed, his eyes were aimlessly looking out of the window at the red sky, and when he saw his brother-in-law returning with a gloomy expression, he immediately knew that the situation was not good, and hurriedly sat up.

Sure enough, Mu Beiting didn't say anything, just picked up his baggage and left. Lin Zongbian probably guessed what the result was, so he didn't ask much at the moment, and took the burden and followed out.

The two of them went out of Xunfu, and went to the stable to get the horses, and then went straight out of the city, and then hurried day and night, and returned to Ningbo Linfu after only three days.

After this incident, Mu Beiting was greatly hit, and the whole person began to become depressed, since he returned to the Lin Mansion, he only did two things every day: one was to drink, and the other was to sleep. As for the rest, I can't afford to pay attention to it at all.

Lin Zongbian looked at this righteous brother who was seriously injured by love, and he also felt a lot of regret in his heart, and at the beginning he changed the law to persuade him, but he didn't appreciate it, and he never said a word, but the wine was drunk faster and faster, and he didn't get drunk for a day.

Later, Lin Zongbian only felt helpless, so he no longer bothered to persuade him, but just accompanied him to drink and rest together all day long, but he drank very poorly, and most of the time he replaced it with tea.

After a few days, the strange behavior of the two of them attracted the attention of everyone in the mansion, and everyone was curious, but no one dared to ask, but the speculation and discussion in private were bizarre and boiling.

And Lin Zongbian took into account Mu Beiting's decency, and did not refute the rumors, but just let everyone talk about it, even if the close servant Zhou Chuqing came to inquire, he did not tell the reason.

After that, more than ten days passed, and in the early morning of this day, Mu Beiting, who was still asleep, was suddenly woken up by a rapid knock on the door. He got up and went to open the door, only to see Lin Zongbian standing outside the door with a smile on his face, so he asked, "What? Did you encounter something good that made you like this?"

Lin Zongbian smiled and said: "Naturally, it is a great thing, and it is a great thing for you and me!"

Mu Beiting said angrily: "Don't sell Guanzi, if you want to say it, just say it, don't say that I'm going to sleep, I'm sleepy." ”

Lin Zongbian smiled slyly, then shook his head and said, "No hurry, no hurry." Let me ask you, who is the person who worries you every day?"

When Mu Beiting heard this, his body suddenly trembled, and his originally drooping eyes instantly opened wide, and he asked urgently: "Is it related to Dai'er?"

Lin Zongbian laughed a few times and quipped: "Aren't you very sleepy? Hehe, tell you, the girl you've been thinking about is waiting outside the gate right now, why don't you pack up and go out to meet you!"

After receiving such good news, Mu Beiting only felt joy descending from the sky, and his surprise was beyond words, but in an instant, he suddenly became cramped and uneasy, and the whole person was stunned, and there was only a blank in his mind.

Lin Zongbian looked at the goose-like righteous brother in front of him, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart, and sighed: "Alas, my good big brother!

While the two were talking, they saw two domestic servants come over with washbasins and clean clothes. Lin Zongbian instructed the two of them to enter the house first, and then said to Mu Beiting: "Big brother, go and wash your face, put on new clothes, you don't need to shave your beard, so that your sweetheart can take a look, you are only so haggard and depressed because you miss her." ”

Mu Beiting turned a deaf ear, all his thoughts had drifted to Xun Dai'er, and he only went into the house to wash his face and change clothes according to his words, and after everything was cleaned up, he flashed out of the house and rushed towards the door of the house.

Lin Zongbian did not follow, but slowly leaned against the door, silently watching the back of his brother-in-law leaving, and only after a long time did he smile bitterly and sighed: "Alas, I have finally been freed, if I sit with you for a few more days, I am afraid that I will suffocate to death..."
