Xiao Yikai seemed to be very afraid of his grandmother. When the dragon-head crutch fell, he didn't even dodge.
"You little beast, do you know that this is the crime of deceiving the emperor?"
Mrs. Xiao seemed to be very distressed by Xiao Yikai's behavior. She was beaten several times but did not relieve her anger.
She didn't stop until Xiao Wenyuan and the housekeeper rushed to stop her.
"Tell me, where are those girls now?"
"In...in the guest room in the west courtyard..."
Shangguan Wan Ning's heart skipped a beat.
After so many days, I'm afraid those girls' innocence is no longer guaranteed.
"If you do such a rebellious thing, even if your grandfather is resurrected, he won't be able to protect you."
Mrs. Xiao's eyes were red, and she turned around and slowly walked towards Mu Jingrui.
"My lord, the misfortune of the Xiao family has not only damaged the reputation of our ancestors, but also caused innocent girls to suffer unjust injustice. Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation. But..."
Mrs. Xiao looked towards Xiao Yikai, her eyes full of reluctance and love.
"He committed a capital crime. Even if the emperor blames him, I have nothing to say. But... he is the only child of the Xiao family. Please, for the sake of my dead old man, please give us seven more days."
time."
"I hope that I can use these seven days to let this unfilial thing leave a heir to the Xiao family. After seven days, I will personally escort him to the government office to surrender. When the time comes, if he wants to be killed or cut into pieces, I will never open my mouth to defend him.
plead."
Mu Jingrui and Shangguan Wanning exchanged glances with each other.
After all, the Xiao family is full of loyal people. Their wealth and privileges today were obtained by accumulating blood and bones.
Mrs. Xiao is already old, so she has to give her this face.
"Okay, I trust the old lady. In seven days, I will be waiting for you at the government office." After Mu Jingrui finished speaking, he frowned, "But those beautiful ladies..."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will treat those beautiful girls well during these seven days, and I will personally write to Beijing to explain the whole matter to the Emperor. Their reputations have been ruined by the Xiao family, and the Xiao family will definitely give them a satisfactory ending and explanation.
.”
Mu Jingrui and Shangguan Wanning were both helpless.
There seems to be no better solution than this.
"Then it's Mrs. Lao. Take your leave."
Mu Jingrui took Shangguan Wanning's hand and left.
Xiao Yikai endured the pain and stood up from the ground, staring at Shangguan Wanning's back until she completely disappeared from his sight.
"Are you hungry? I'll take you to eat."
The two of them walked out of the Zhongliehou Mansion and both let out a long sigh of relief.
Mu Jingrui dismissed his entourage and accompanied Shangguan Wan Ning to wander aimlessly on the street.
This matter came to an end, and he was finally able to get along with Guan Wan Ning without any distractions.
"Buy some of this."
Shangguan Wan Ning pointed to the steamed cake sold on the roadside, picked up a piece and took a bite.
"Hey, you haven't given it yet..."
Before the stall owner finished speaking, Mu Jingrui put down some scraps of silver. The stall owner immediately smiled and asked diligently: "Girl, my steamed cake tastes the most authentic. Do you want another piece?"
Shangguan Wan Ning shook her head, she had to save her stomach for something else.
The two of them spent an afternoon shopping and visited almost every street.
Mu Jingrui could tell that Shangguan Wan Ning was in a good mood. She bought a lot of things, including food and clothing, and he could only follow behind to pay the bill.
There were too many things to carry, so he found someone to take them back to the inn.
"I can't walk anymore."
Shangguan Wan Ning sat down on the fence of the stone bridge and gently rubbed her calves.
"It's so dangerous to sit here." Mu Jingrui stepped forward and blocked her with his body.
"With you here, what are you afraid of?"
Shangguan Wan Ning raised her head and looked at Mu Jingrui, with a bright smile in her clear eyes.
Mu Jingrui's heart suddenly felt ripples. If he hadn't been on the street at this moment, he really wanted to hold her in his arms right away.
"Go back." Mu Jingrui patted Shangguan Wanning's head gently with his generous palm, "I will carry you."
Shangguan Wan Ning thought for a while and nodded lightly.
She lay on Mu Jingrui's back, and both of them ignored the surprised looks cast by passers-by.
"Tell me...will Mrs. Xiao hand over Xiao Yikai after seven days?"
Mu Jingrui frowned slightly, thought for a long time, and said, "Not necessarily."
After all, Xiao Yikai is the only surviving member of the Xiao family.
During these seven days, even if he spent every day in bed, there was no guarantee that he would give birth to a son.
"But you don't have to worry too much. I have sent people to monitor every move in Zhongliehou Mansion. If Xiao Yikai wants to escape, I will arrest him immediately."
Shangguan Wan Ning believed that Mu Jingrui could do these things well, so she didn't ask any more questions.
She was planning in her mind that after this matter was settled, she would go to Yaowang Valley to stay with Lu Xiangzi for a while.
Shangguan Wanning heard from the waiter at the inn that there was a Guanyin Temple nearby and the incense was very prosperous, so she thought about going to offer incense and pray for her parents and master.
Mu Jingrui prepared the things for her to burn incense. When the sedan arrived at the foot of the mountain, Shangguan Wan Ning found that there were many carriages and sedans parked nearby.
"Miss, I have asked about this." Lutong's little face turned red and she held her mouth shut as she said, "They say that in order to show sincerity, those who come to offer incense come forward by themselves."
"Then just do as the Romans do."
Shangguan Wan Ning took out the prepared things from the sedan chair and handed them to Mu Jingrui.
"Take it."
"Hee hee." Lu Tong looked at Mu Jingrui, then whispered into Shangguan Wan Ning's ear, "Miss, looking at the entire court, I'm afraid you are the only one who dares to do this to King Zhennan.
"
Shangguan Wan Ning smiled slightly, with a hint of sweetness in her heart.
She understood Mu Jingrui's indulgence and love for her.
The three of them climbed up to the Guanyin Temple halfway up the mountain. As the people nearby said, there was an endless stream of people coming to offer incense and make wishes.
"Eh? Where is my jade pendant?" Shangguan Wan Ning accidentally touched her waist and found that the jade pendant she was carrying was missing.
"Did it fall when we were going up the mountain? Is it important?" Mu Jingrui asked with concern.
If it's not very important, just drop it.
"It's a birthday gift from my uncle."
"Then you go in and burn incense first, and I'll help you look for it." Mu Jingrui warned, "Wait for me here after burning the incense, and don't run around."
"Um."
Shangguan Wan Ning watched Mu Jingrui turn and leave, stepped forward to pray sincerely, and added some sesame oil money. When she walked out of the hall, she saw two young monks sitting in front of the steps eating cakes.
"Delicious."
"Yes, it would be great if Mrs. Xiao could come here every day."
"Give me a taste of yours."
"Give."
Shangguan Wan Ning looked at the two innocent little monks with a faint smile on her lips.
"Will the princess also come to offer incense?"
