Chapter 228 The choice of the dilemma

The door of the cell opened, and Mu Jingrui leaned against the cold wall alone, and several stiff corpses lay in the cell.

Both Zheng Bingrong and the Chief Constable changed their faces.

"Mu Jingrui, you..." Zheng Bingrong didn't expect that Mu Jingrui did not leave.

However, he had clearly received the news that Mu Jingrui had already followed the people they sent.

"Come, handcuff."

The chief chief commander gave the order, and a yamen runner came over to tie Mu Jingrui up.

Mu Jingrui's sharp eyes swept away, which scared the yamen runners to come forward.

"If I wanted to leave, I would have left long ago." Mu Jingrui disagreed and his attitude was not slow. "Cleaning these bodies away and don't hinder my rest."

The chief constable's thoughts turned into a mess, and he couldn't help but exchanged glances with Zheng Bingrong.

Their original plan was to wait for Mu Jingrui to leave the cell and give a legitimate order to kill him.

But now Mu Jingrui is not fooled at all.

"Mu Jingrui, you have let Ning'er down on his deep affection for you." Zheng Bingrong was unwilling to give up and had to speak with pleasure.

Mu Jingrui's heart sank, but his face remained unchanged.

He looked at Zheng Bingrong and snorted coldly.

"From the future, Shangguan Wanning will have no meaning to me. You want to use her to deal with me again... Humph!"

Mu Jingrui's contempt and ridicule made Zheng Bingrong angry, but he was helpless.

"Okay, very good. Mu Jingrui, this time, you will win. But don't be too proud, you won't want to leave the Ministry of Justice alive."

After Zheng Bingrong said that, he left with his sleeves.

The chief chief commander ordered the runners to add a few more locks in the cell, and also took everyone away in disappointment.

The surroundings suddenly became silent, and Mu Jingrui's face gradually became solemn.

He had indeed left with the men in black at that time, and he had really thought that he would give up everything for Shangguan Wanning, even if he was charged with the crime of the fugitive.

However, when he was halfway through, he found that there was someone following him secretly.

Mu Jingrui woke up instantly.

He wanted to slap himself twice.

Why did he trust her again? She has deceived him twice in a row.

Mu Jingrui removed a few men in black and quietly returned to the cell. Sure enough, Zheng Bingrong came again with the people.

He closed his eyes in pain, took out the letter hidden in his arms, and slowly tore it into pieces.

These affectionate vows were her deception again.

Mu Jingrui's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. He secretly vowed that if he had the chance to go out, Shangguan Wanning would definitely pay the price.

Sun Jinyao hid at the door of the Ministry of Justice Prison and witnessed the entire process from Mu Jingrui himself to Zheng Bingrong coming out of the cell. He had guessed seven or eight points in his heart.

He also understood that the Zheng family had never thought about letting Shangguan Wanning and Mu Jingrui fly away from time to time.

But he still couldn't figure out one thing. Shangguan Yue, do you know?

When Sun Jinyao returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was already rising. Shangguan Wanning hurriedly came up and asked anxiously: "Brother Yao, how are you?"

Sun Jinyao pondered for a moment, and after thinking about it, he still told the truth.

Shangguan Wanning fell on the chair, feeling lost.

She suddenly realized that no matter how hard she tried to coordinate with it, the relationship between Mu Jingrui and her family was still deteriorating little by little.

Even though what happened was different, the situation was still moving towards the trajectory of the previous life.

"Ning'er, how are you?"

Shangguan Wanning's face was pale at this moment.

She forced a smile out. "Brother Yao, I'm fine...I want to be alone."

Sun Jinyao did not force himself, and turned around and walked out.

Shangguan Wanning sat blankly, and she closed her eyes decadently, as if she had completely given up.

After this incident, Mu Jingrui probably completely turned her away.

Mu Jingrui was not removed according to Zheng Guoxun's plan, and he began to mobilize the forces of the accomplices in the court, trying to shake the emperor and behead him.

In order to save Mu Jingrui's life, Xiao Yujue also moved up and down. For a while, the undercurrents in the court were surging, and the two factions fought over and over.

Shangguan Wanning finally convinced her father and took care of everything for her in the Ministry of Justice.

She prepared a few side dishes and pastries that Mu Jingrui liked and took Lutong to visit the Ministry of Justice Prison.

Shangguan Wanning had just gotten out of the sedan chair and saw Mu Jingyan coming out of it, she took the initiative to meet him.

"Jing Yan..."

"Are you coming to see my brother?" Mu Jingyan interrupted Shangguan Wanning's words and looked at her hostilely.

Shangguan Wanning nodded. "Well, I want to..."

"It just so happens that my brother has a few words to bring to you." Mu Jingyan really couldn't stand Shangguan Wanning's appearance.

She clearly betrayed her brother, but she still wanted to run to her brother to pretend to be innocent. She was very worried that her brother would be deceived again because of her soft heart.

"Jing Rui...has anything to say to me?"

"My brother said that he can't afford to be the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Anyway, he is also a prisoner now. His engagement with you will give up, and you will ask you to return your birthday letter and your token of marriage. As for those betrothal gifts, we don't want them."

Shangguan Wanning was stunned and staggered a few steps involuntarily.

"No...No, Jing Rui wouldn't say that." After that, Shangguan Wanning was about to walk into the cell.

Mu Jingyan stepped forward and stood in front of her.

"My brother said he didn't want to see you. Shangguan Wanning, no matter how you say you are a lady from a family, can you stop pestering my brother? Isn't you enough to play with him? You really think that our Mu family is all

A fool?"

"I don't. I just want to see him and make it clear to him in person."

"It's already clear. Shangguan Wanning, face it. The grudge between the Zheng family and my brother has reached an impossible point of reconciliation. Unless you cut off relations with them, it is impossible to enter the Mu family.



Mu Jingyan's body turned toward her side, as if she was giving way to Shangguan Wanning.

"If you want to go in and see my brother, I won't stop you. But you have to think clearly that you can't have both fish and bear's paws. You can only choose the same lover or relative."

Shangguan Wanning was cold all over. Although Mu Jingyan's words were unpleasant, they were facts.

She thought of her mother who was kneeling in front of her and begging for her, and she couldn't help but burst into tears. Her hands hidden in her sleeves clenched into fists.

After a long time, Shangguan Wanning turned around in a daze and returned to the sedan chair with the help of Lutong.

She needed some time to calmly think about her and Mu Jingrui's way out.

Mu Jingyan watched Shangguan Wanning's sedan chair go away, and his heart also became cold.

"If you could go in and take a look at my brother today... how great it would be. It's a pity... Shangguan Wanning, you really are not worthy of my brother."
