Shangguan Wanning’s words made sense, which made Shangguan Yue and Mu Jingrui unable to refute.
But……
She was still worried when she was asked to travel thousands of miles to investigate in Southeast Prefecture.
"Let me think about it again."
Shangguan Yue was undecided. From his attitude, Mu Jingrui realized that he was actually standing on Xiao Yujue's side.
This made him feel much more at ease. At least, he was not fighting alone.
"Then... I'll say goodbye first." Mu Jingrui said awkwardly.
"etc."
Shangguan Wanning called Mu Jingrui, picked up the medicine he had just used and handed it over from the table.
"You can use these first. Remember, you have to change them every three hours. The medicine here is only enough to change three times, and someone will send you another one."
Facing Shangguan Wanning's gracefulness, Mu Jingrui felt that he seemed a little restrained.
"Okay." Mu Jingrui looked at Shangguan Wanning, his eyes full of doting that was so thick that it could not be dissolved.
Shangguan Yue saw it and gradually felt relieved in his heart.
"In the future, don't climb over the wall in the middle of the night. If there is something to do, enter through the front door openly. It's so stingy, how can it be."
"Yes, I understand."
Mu Jingrui was scolded by Shangguan Yue so much that he had no temper at all. He bowed his hand and turned around and left.
"Dad, don't be angry, my daughter won't dare to do it next time."
Shangguan Wanning was worried that her father would lose his temper again, so she took the initiative to act coquettishly.
Shangguan Yue sighed helplessly, stretched out his finger and flicked her forehead. "You, there is no time for me to worry. Okay, let's have a rest early."
"Dad, good night."
Shangguan Wanning sent her father to the door and watched his figure disappear. Then she saw Lutong squatting in the corner, with her big eyes open and blinking innocently.
"Miss..."
Shangguan Wanning put her hands on her hips and pouted at her. "What are you doing?"
"I'm sorry, I just dozed off a little bit. When I turned around, I saw the master coming. Before I could call someone, I glared at me. You know, it's not okay for me to get angry.
It's done."
Shangguan Wanning burst out laughing with a "puke".
It's hard for this girl to do it.
"Okay, it's not your fault. It's nothing, you can go back to sleep."
When Lutong saw that Shangguan Wanning was not angry, she immediately smiled and stood up and snuggled intimately beside Shangguan Wanning.
"I am no longer sleepy, I will wait for the eldest lady to rest."
When Mu Jingrui returned home, it was already dawn, and he changed his clothes and went to the morning court.
Before entering the Golden Palace, he met Ling Ruiying. The two of them looked at each other with tacit contempt.
After retiring from the court, Mu Jingrui returned home, and saw the medicine sent by Shangguan Wanning.
He went back to the room and told no one to disturb him. After taking a nap, he quietly slipped out of the back door and went to Mozhulin to visit.
Mu Jingrui avoided the guards near Mozhulin and used his light skills to gallop along the way.
From a distance, he saw a thin woman in the bamboo forest, digging something with a small hoe.
He approached carefully, and it turned out to be You Zhenzhen.
She was wearing simple and plain clothes, sweat flowed down her cheeks, and she raised her hand to wipe and continue digging.
The bamboo basket next to it is filled with bamboo shoots.
Mu Jingrui frowned slightly, and he felt a little more sympathy for You Zhenzhen.
She was originally a lady from the official family. After marrying Xiao Yujue, she should have enjoyed all her wealth, but she turned into a peasant woman in the mountains.
You Zhenzhen didn't notice anyone peeping in the dark. After digging bamboo shoots, she stood up and prepared to go back.
Mu Jingrui was planning to wait for her to walk away, but suddenly he noticed footsteps approaching in the distance.
Soon, two big men holding steel knives came over.
They are people who visit Mozhulin on a daily basis.
When You Zhenzhen saw them a little scared, she moved to the side timidly and waited for them to come first.
The two inspectors looked at You Zhenzhen unscrupulously, which made You Zhenzhen blush in an instant.
She was nervously trying to escape, and when she passed by the two, one of them reached out to touch her waist.
You Zhenzhen screamed, the basket in her hand fell aside, panicked, and shouted in a trembling voice: "You... are arrogant!"
The two stopped and surrounded You Zhenzhen one after another, with a wretched smile spreading on their faces.
"We want to be presumptuous, so what? Go to the emperor to sue us. Hehe."
You Zhenzhen was so angry that she shivered all over.
Since Xiao Yujue was demoted to a commoner, even her mother's family has been implicated, and her father was dismissed from his official position and sent to a long distance.
And her husband...
You Zhenzhen knew in her heart that no one would stand up for her anymore, so she had to endure the grievances.
She wanted to leave, but was pushed by the man in front of her. She staggered back and fell into the chest of the man behind her.
When the two men saw her surroundings, they reached out to touch her face and hands.
"Oh, it's really from a wealthy family. The skin is as delicate as a peeled egg, and it's not slid."
"Bastard...you let go of me...go away..."
You Zhenzhen was shocked and scared, kicking and hitting two men, but she, a weak woman, was no match for two big men at all.
The two men didn't dare to really hurt You Zhenzhen, just to take advantage of it.
Mu Jingrui couldn't stand it, so he picked up the stones on the ground and hit the two men.
He used 70% or 80% of his skills to knock the two men out of the ground.
You Zhenzhen knew that someone was helping her secretly. She looked around in panic. Seeing that no one appeared, she hurriedly picked up the scattered bamboo shoots and ran to her residence desperately.
Mu Jingrui looked at her thin figure and couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic. The reason why he didn't show up was that he didn't want her to be embarrassed.
He used his light skills to take shortcuts and rushed to the bamboo house where Xiao Yujue lived in front of You Zhenzhen.
In the yard, Mu Jingyan was practicing swords, and Xiao Yujue stood aside, as if he was guiding her. The two were talking and laughing, as if they had completely forgotten the glitz of the world.
If Mu Jingrui hadn't seen the scene just now, he would have been happy for his sister. But...
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"elder brother?"
When Mu Jingyan heard the familiar voice, he stopped the movement in his hand, turned over in the air and came to Mu Jingrui.
"Brother, why have you only come to see me now?"
Mu Jingrui was in a complicated mood. He reached out and gently touched his sister's head, and walked straight to Xiao Yujue.
"Your Highness..."
"Don't call me that, I'm just a civilian now." Xiao Yujue took Mu Jingrui into the house.
Mu Jingrui looked around and found that the house built with bamboo was cleaned spotlessly, revealing the greenness and fragrance of bamboo everywhere.
