Today, after Mu Yirong left the Prison Division, he did not go directly to the Yamen of the Prison Division to report to Yu Shi Zhongcheng, but first went back to Mufu to report his safety.

Hearing that Mu Yirong and Ruicao were imprisoned on suspicion of killing the Nineteenth Prince, the Mu Mansion has been uneasy.

Now that Mu Yirong was released, Old Lady Mu and Eldest Lady Tang couldn't help but shed tears, and while looking relieved, they couldn't help but ask worriedly how was the state of Seocho?

Mu Yirong was pushed out of prison by the energetic Seocho, and judging by her appearance at the time, she should be in good shape.

Old Madam Mu, who knew that Seocho was fine, sighed deeply, and the relationship between Daomu Yirong and Seocho warmed up, and they both saw it in their eyes.

It's just that there have been too many things in the house recently, and I don't have the energy to discuss the family affairs of the two for a while, so I really can't stand Mu Yirong and Ruicao.

It is probably Mu Yirong and Seocho, who committed the crime this year, that can be regarded as an indissoluble bond with the prison.

However, it was precisely because after Seocho was imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department that she calmed down, figured out a lot of things, and secretly began to accept Mu Yirong's feelings for her and became active.

After being released from the prison of the Criminal Department, Ruicao and Mu Yirong quickly determined each other's intentions, and also had the idea of marrying.

It's just that at that time, the second old man Mu Jingcheng happened to be breaking up, and then he caught up with Mu Yixing to prepare for the Enke exam, and then there was a case of scholar Zhongju being stabbed to death in the examination room of the Gongyuan Academy.

It's really one thing after another, and there is no idle time at all, so that the matter of Ruicao and Mu Yirong getting married has been delayed again and again.

Now that the Nineteenth Prince has disappeared again, Seocho is still locked up in the Prison Division, the late autumn of this year has passed, and it seems that it is about to enter the cold winter, and the matter of discussing relatives is unlikely this year.

Mu Yirong told his grandmother and mother not to worry too much, saying that he and Seocho had already determined each other's hearts, and it didn't matter if they waited another year or two to get married.

Old Madam Mu also comforted Mu Yirong with a few words, so that he didn't have to worry too much about Ruicao who was still in prison, and wholeheartedly investigated the case as soon as possible and found the missing nineteen princes, so that Ruicao could be released quickly.

Mu Yirong nodded, said goodbye to his grandmother and mother, and went to Xianyuan.

In the courtyard, the courtyard is full of fallen leaves, which is even more desolate.

Bao'er's sobbing stopped abruptly when Mu Yirong stepped into the courtyard.

Bao'er, who suddenly broke free from Laixi's embrace, hurriedly ran to Mu Yirong, glanced behind him, and then withdrew his gaze in disappointment, and asked Mu Yirong with tears on his face: "Young Master, where is my young lady?"

"She didn't come back. ”

Seeing that Bao'er was about to cry loudly again, Mu Yirong hurriedly said again: "Don't worry, she is doing well inside, and she will be able to come out soon?"

Bao'er raised her head and looked at Mu Yirong with an inquiring gaze: "The eldest young master didn't lie and coax the slave to make the slave and maid feel at ease, right?"

At this time, Lai Xi stepped forward, patted Bao'er's back comfortingly, and then saluted Mu Yirong, saying that Mu Yirong came out of the prison division, and then said that the second young master of his family, Mu Yixing, was also very worried about the eldest young master and Miss Biao these days, since the eldest young master came back safely, he went to report safety.

After Laixi finished speaking, he took Bao'er, who turned back three times one step at a time, and walked towards the gate of Xianyuan.

"Young Master, you said that the young lady will be back soon, you really weren't lying to the slaves, right?"

"She'll be back soon. ”

Mu Yirong said this to Bao'er, and he also said it to himself.

His thoughts turned, and Mu Yirong had already followed Xigu into the courtyard where Prince Nineteen lived alone.

The yard is the same as in the past, the flowers are blooming, and the occasional bees and butterflies are flying, but it is too quiet as usual.

Mu Yirong looked around the house with a large number of rare porcelain, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, and precious furniture, and remembered the scene where he and the Nineteenth Prince discussed the authenticity of a certain calligraphy and painting here.

Xigu said that few people came to the courtyard of the Nineteenth Prince, because he almost never stayed in his own house, either in the living room to set up wine and banquets, or in various gardens with friends to enjoy flowers and bamboo, and chant poems.

At night, there is no pattern to which concubine's room to rest in.

Most of the time, this courtyard is empty, but when the Nineteenth Prince is alone, he must be in this courtyard. century

Mu Yirong remembered that the Nineteenth Prince once said that he named this courtyard "Jingsi" because it was a place of tranquility for his soul, a place to miss his old people, and to hide many of his secrets.

Mu Yirong, who has no hobby of snooping on other people's secrets, has never asked what secrets the Nineteenth Prince has buried in this courtyard.

However, with the temperament of the Nineteenth Prince, he may one day, after drinking two taels of wine, facing the vast starry sky, in expressing his feelings, he will naturally tell the secret he has hidden.

However, Mu Yirong has known Prince Nineteen for many years and found that he is actually a person who can hide secrets very well.

The secrets he can tell are not secrets.

Mu Yirong nodded and thanked Aunt Xi for her guidance, saying that he wanted to take a casual look, and walked around the house after speaking.

The Nineteenth Prince does not like to read, but in terms of appreciating calligraphy and painting, he has a very keen insight and the ability to distinguish the authenticity.

Once, the nineteenth prince found a pair of former Tang Dynasty painter Zhou Fang's "Hairpin Lady", after Mu Yirong saw it, he thought it was an imitation, and the nineteenth prince said it was genuine.

The two argued, and the Nineteenth Prince, with the spirit of getting to the bottom of the matter, began to trace the past movements of the painting. In the end, it turns out that the painting is indeed real.

Mu Yirong, who admitted defeat at that time, was punished for drinking, and said with a smile that the nineteenth prince has such idle time and channels to compare this truth.

Recalling the past, Mu Yirong flipped through a few pieces of paper stacked on the table, and then turned out a picture of a beauty in it.

The person on the picture is the Qingyan girl that Mu Yirong had seen in Huanxianglou before, and the painting was vivid and vivid, but Mu Yirong couldn't help frowning.

The nineteenth prince has a unique talent for appreciating calligraphy and painting, but God did not give him the gene for painting, although the painting level of the nineteenth prince has not yet reached the point of painting "Peacock Flying Southeast" as "Chicken Eating Rice", but it is not much worse.

Spread out a few pieces of drawing paper on the table side by side on the table, looking like stick figures, I can't tell whether it is an eggplant or a cucumber.

"This is painted by the Great Prince. ”

Aunt Xi, who got closer, looked at the portrait of Miss Qingyan, and said that it was the girl Qingyan painted when the prince came to the mansion not long ago.

"In the past, did the eldest prince often visit the mansion?"

Hearing Mu Yirong's question, Xigu was slightly stunned, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "The slave doesn't believe that the eldest prince will hurt the nineteenth prince. ”

The eldest prince of Xigudao does often visit the Nineteenth Prince's Mansion, but compared to the second prince, the number of times is much less.

Every time he came to visit as a guest, the eldest prince would be very polite and polite with gifts, unlike when other people came, they all came empty-handed and returned with their hands.

The eldest prince is also polite to the people in the house, and has never dictated to them because they are lowly subordinates.

Although the Nineteenth Prince did not indicate that he would support the eldest prince, he always insisted that he had no interest in the throne. So according to common sense, there is no reason for the eldest prince to kill the nineteenth prince.

People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and they don't know how to do things.

Mu Yirong will not casually exclude suspicion of a person because of his stereotype, even if it is an impeccable prince.

Moreover, he didn't believe that the Nineteenth Prince and the eldest prince were really as polite as they appeared, or the eldest prince would not have asked the Nineteenth Prince to go to the Internet scholar Zhongju before.

"The eldest prince and Miss Qingyan, did you already know that the Nineteenth Prince was going to perform on stage while watching the play?"

"The eldest prince doesn't know, but Miss Qingyan may know. ”

In the confession confessed by the maid Xianxian in the Yamen of the Prison Division, it was said that the eldest prince also knew that the nineteenth prince wanted to perform on stage, but now Xigu said that he didn't know, Mu Yirong couldn't help but ask Xigu again, did the eldest prince really not know?

Xigu nodded, and said that in the past few days when the Nineteenth Prince was learning illusions from the Lion Race in the mansion, the eldest prince would not visit in the future, and it was certain that he did not know that the Nineteenth Prince was performing on stage.

When Mu Yirong heard this, he picked up the portrait of the Qingyan girl: "Dali Temple is investigating, borrow this painting for use, and return it in the future." ”

Xigu nodded, then glanced at Mu Yirong's face, and asked worriedly, "Lord Shilang, the prince of the slave family, will be fine?"
