Chapter Twenty-Four: The Stratagem Is Discovered
In the summer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, but due to the geographical location of Lake City to the north, the heat is not so strong.
In the afternoon, the younger generation of the Su family gathered together to enjoy a leisurely time. It's too boring to stay in the house all day, and Su Weiyi can't stay anymore. Therefore, I propose to everyone to go camping in the mountains to pass the time. Since everyone was in a hurry, the proposal was supported.
"Miss Mu, you can go too. Su Weiyu saw that Mu Jin was not very interested, so he leaned over and said.
Mu Jin smiled lightly and shook his head slightly: "I won't go." ”
Su Weiyu was a little lost, and wanted to say something, but here Su Weiyi spoke.
"Sister Mu, it's so boring to stay in the house all day, why don't you go and have fun with us!"
Su Weiyu saw Su Weiyi agitating Mu Jin, and winked at him, and instantly understood. So he also chimed in:
"Yes, Miss Mu, you can also go with us, otherwise it will be boring. ”
Mu Jin hadn't had time to speak yet. Zi Ling couldn't help it.
"Hmph, that's it!"
Originally, Mu Jin didn't want to go much, but when he heard Zi Ling's sour words, he changed his mind.
"Okay, I'll go too. Mu Jin smiled and looked at Zi Ling with an unknown meaning.
Su Weiyu, Su Weiyi, and Su Weicheng all immediately smiled, and Zi Ling looked at them and turned his face away angrily.
The next day, the sky was just slightly bright. Everyone started to pick up and get ready to go out. Except for Su Weicheng, who was busy with his family's business, the other young people went.
When we got to the mountain, it was almost noon. So everyone quickly set up their tents and prepared lunch.
"Sister Mu, let me tell you, there's a small lake over there, it's beautiful, why don't we have lunch and go over there to play?" Su Weiyi looked at Mu Jin expectantly, as if he was afraid that Mu Jin would not agree.
Looking at Su Weiyi's pitiful appearance, Mu Jin felt a little unbearable, so he nodded and agreed.
Su Weiyi immediately danced happily like a child who had got candy, Mu Jin looked at the innocent little boy in front of him and smiled helplessly. I don't know why, when I came to the world, my heart for Su Weiyi would always become very soft, and I couldn't bear to give him a will.
Since Mu Jin and Su Weiyi were going to Xiaohu, Su Weiyu naturally followed, seeing that Su Weiyu went, Zi Ling also went, so everyone went.
After turning a corner, I arrived at the small lake that Su Weiyi said. The surface of the lake is clean and almost transparent, the willow branches fluttering on the shore, the ground is green grass, and the lake is a little deep in the depths, and a large grass is creeping on the surface of the lake.
Several people stood in a row by the lake, admiring the beautiful scenery, Su Weiyu proposed that everyone come to the fishing competition, so he ordered the little guy to get fishing tools, one pair per person.
Su Weiyu and Mu Jin went to get fishing gear, Su Weiqi, Su Weiming and Su Weiyi went to dig earthworms for bait, leaving Zi Ling and her maid standing on the shore and waiting.
Mu Jin took the fishing gear, stepped on the skirt without giving up, and was about to fall, Su Weiyu was quick-eyed, immediately threw down the things in his hand, and helped Mu Jin, which avoided a wrestling.
"Miss Mu, be careful, either give me your tools, don't fall again. ”
Mu Jin smiled: "No need, thank you Master Su, if it weren't for Master Su's support, I'm afraid I would have fallen today." ”
Su Weiyu looked at Mu Jin's skirt, still not at ease, but Mu Jin insisted and had to give up, carefully protecting Mu Jin on the side, for fear that she would fall again.
Zi Ling stood on the shore and watched the two of them go to get something that could evolve like this, and felt in her heart that Mu Jin was deliberate, deliberately falling down so that Su Weiyu could help her, the more she looked at it, the more dazzling it became, and the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became.
Lan Xiang looked at her master's resentful eyes, and whispered to Zi Ling: "County master, the slave has an idea. ”
Zi Ling heard this, and there was a smile on his face.
Wait until Mu Jin and Su Weiyu come over, and everyone takes their fishing gear. Zi Ling came to Su Weiyu's side.
"Brother Weiyu, sit here, this position is good, I specially left it for you. ”
Su Weiyu pretended to be inadvertently away from Zi Ling holding his hand, and just nodded and said, "Thank you, you can sit by yourself." ”
Zi Ling pouted: "Brother Weiyu, I know that I was too willful before, so you can forgive me." ”
Su Weiyu frowned and did not speak.
Zi Ling said to Mu Jin again: "Miss Mu, I didn't do well before, I apologize to you, you tell Brother Weiyu to let him not be angry." There was a hint of begging in his voice.
In the eyes of everyone, they all felt that Zi Ling was sincere in admitting her mistakes, but Mu Jin didn't think so, Zi Ling had always regarded her as an enemy, how could she admit her mistakes so easily?
Mu Jin wanted to see what she wanted to do, so she said, "Don't say that, county lord, how can I talk about the matter between you and Su Gongzi?"
Hearing this, Zi Ling looked at Mu Jin with blank eyes: "Miss Mu doesn't forgive me when she says that?"
Mu Jin was about to speak, but Su Weiyu spoke.
"Okay, Zi Ling, I forgive you, don't be so willful in the future, you know?"
A smile immediately appeared on Zi Ling's face: "I know, Brother Weiyu." Since you've forgiven me, you're going to sit here, right?"
Su Weiyu looked helpless and nodded.
Zi Ling pointed to the position next to Su Weiyu and said, "Miss Mu, you can sit here." ”
Mu Jin was noncommittal, and also sat down. She wanted to see what Zi Ling was going to do when she tossed it like this!
Seeing that Mu Jin and Su Weiyu had both sat down, Zi Ling also walked to the other side and sat fiddling with the fishing rod, preparing to fish, completely ignoring the meaning of this side.
Mu Jin couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that this purple spirit had really changed his nature? No, it couldn't be! There must be something!
Mu Jin looked at the fishing rod and was distracted, and the purple spirit over there looked at this side from time to time, with eagerness in his eyes.
After about a quarter of an hour, Mu Jin caught a fish, Mu Jin couldn't lift it, so he stood up and prepared to pull the fishing rod, who knew that the fish at that end struggled for a while, Mu Jin just wanted to stand firm, but the soil under his feet was very loose, and it couldn't support a person's weight at all, Mu Jin was taken out, and Su Weiyu next to him reacted and just wanted to grab Mu Jin, but he was a step late.
Seeing that Mu Jin was about to fall into the river, everyone was shocked, and Su Weiyu was even more frightened, ready to take off her clothes and jump down to save Mu Jin. At this time, Mu Jin turned around, lightly touched the surface of the lake with his toes, and then stepped on the shore. Only then did everyone put their minds at ease, and Su Weiyu immediately stepped forward and said with concern: "Miss Mu, are you okay?
Mu Jin said lightly: "I'm fine." ”
When Nanning saw this situation, he guessed what the reason was. Immediately said: "Miss, so dignified, why did you suddenly fall down?" and moved his eyes to the place where Mu Jin had sat just now, and said in surprise: "Ah, why did a large piece fall there?"
Everyone also looked over with Nanning's gaze, only to find that the position where Mu Jin was sitting just now had completely collapsed, and even the stool had fallen into the river.
"Oh, I see, it's you, it's you who deliberately loosened the soil here, and then you just want to cause my young lady to fall into the river, isn't it?" Nanning pointed at Zi Ling with a look of resentment.
Everyone focused their eyes on Zi Ling, and they all had doubts, after all, this was not in line with common sense.
Zi Ling distinguished: "If it wasn't me, how did I know that she would fall?
Su Weiyu already understood what was going on at this time, and squinted his eyes: "Zi Ling, what you said is not impossible, but then you tell me why only Miss Mu's side of the soil is loose?
Seeing Su Weiyu's angry appearance, Zi Ling looked anxious: "How do I know, it was her bad luck who happened to sit in the loose place, who is to blame?"
Su Weiyu originally only had eight points of suspicion, but at this moment he was very sure. sneered: "Don't you say that I forgot, you suddenly came to apologize to me, your purpose is to let Miss Mu sit in that position, but you are afraid of arousing suspicion, so you first came to me, and then turned to Miss Mu, so as to cover up your true thoughts, and you ran to the other side to sit and eliminate your suspicion." In this way, if something happens to Miss Mu, you can shirk it. Ziling, when did you become so scheming?"
With tears in her eyes, Zi Ling looked at Su Weiyu: "No, it's not like this! Brother Weiyu, you listen to my explanation." ”
Su Weiyu didn't care about Zi Ling at all, but said to Mu Jin: "Miss Mu, I've frightened you, let's go back first." ”
Mu Jin nodded and left with Su Weiyu, Su Weiyi saw that the two were far away, and also trotted to follow. The rest of Su Weiqi and Su Weiming shrugged and left. On the edge of the huge lake, only Zi Ling and her two maids remained.
Zi Ling couldn't hold back anymore and cried: "How can this be, how can it be like this......"
Lan Xiang saw Zi Ling's sad appearance, and couldn't help but step forward: "County Lord, don't be sad, Young Master Su, he has already gone away....."
Zi Ling suddenly turned around and slapped Lan Xiang hard, Lan Xiang's face immediately swollen to the height, and the hot pain on her face came, Lan Xiang covered her face and looked at Zi Ling in fear.
"It's all your idea, if it weren't for your brother Weiyu, how could you treat me like this!
Lan Xiang suddenly knelt down: "County master, the slave is also for you!"
Zi Ling slapped it again, and now Lan Xiang's faces on both sides were swollen into the same.
"Then you should have a good idea, not such a bad idea! You kneel here, and you are not allowed to get up until you kneel for three hours!"
