In front of everyone, these words of Mu Jingyan made Shangguan Wan Ning feel ashamed.
She squeezed the handkerchief in her hand and took a deep breath. For Mu Jingrui's sake, she suppressed her anger for the time being.
"Jing Yan, is there any misunderstanding? You can tell me, why bother hurting others with bad words?"
"Whether there is a misunderstanding or not, you know it in your heart. I have nothing to say to you." Mu Jingyan glared at Shangguan Wan Ning fiercely, "I warn you, don't come to my brother again, otherwise, I will be rude to you."
After that, he walked away.
"This is unreasonable," Lu Tong felt sorry for her young lady and turned green with anger, "Miss, you must not be with such an uneducated person. I will ask the guards to teach her a lesson."
"Forget it," Shangguan Wan Ning was no longer in the mood to buy anything, and walked out of the rouge shop with Lu Tong.
As she sat in the sedan, the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
A few days ago, she rescued Mu Jingyan from Yingchun Tower. Although Mu Jingyan didn't show any special affection towards her at that time, at least many of them were full of hostility now.
Could it be that something happened that she didn't know about?
Shangguan Wan Ning felt vaguely uneasy. She was worried that all her previous efforts would be in vain.
After all, Mu Jingrui's future development is heading towards the trajectory she knows.
Shangguan Wan Ning hesitated for a day, but finally wrote a letter with her own hands and asked Lu Tong to take it out and give it to Mu Jingrui, hoping to make an appointment with him to find out more.
However, this letter was not delivered to Mu Jingrui.
When the servants of the Prince's Mansion went to find Mu Jingrui with the letter, they met Mu Jingyan when Mu Jingrui was not there.
Looking at the beautiful handwriting on the envelope, Mu Jingyan smiled coldly, dismissed the servants, tore the letter into pieces and threw them into the well.
"Jing Rui, how's your investigation going?"
After Xiao Yujue finished handling other matters, he saw Mu Jingrui, who was standing by to protect him, had empty eyes, and guessed that his thoughts had drifted to other places.
He asked all the guards to retreat, and Mu Jingrui said slowly: "In the past few days, I have sent people to secretly follow Lord Shangguan and Minister of War Liu Jin. They are indeed very close."
"But... this doesn't mean that what Taifu Sun said is the truth."
Shangguan Yue's power in the court was huge, and Xiao Yujue did not want to be an enemy of him unless he had to, and even wanted to take him into his own hands.
In the past, Shangguan Yue stood by Xiao Zhenting for the sake of his precious daughter, but now Shangguan Wan Ning deliberately keeps a distance from Xiao Zhenting.
"My subordinates also understand this truth, so... they also asked someone to follow another clue."
As soon as Mu Jingrui finished speaking, a guard knocked on the door, and after receiving permission, he walked in with a boy.
"This servant meets His Highness the Crown Prince."
"stand up."
Xiao Yujue recognized that this boy had been following Mu Jingrui.
"What was found?" Mu Jingrui asked calmly.
The boy lowered his head and replied: "I followed your instructions and went to find the person who had accused General Mu of collaborating with the enemy and treason. He also fell ill and died not long after General Mu's death. His family moved away from the capital.
."
"The slaves found them through their former neighbors. They moved to Linhe County, and now their living environment is very good. Not only do they have a big house to live in, but they also have dozens of acres of fertile land to collect rent. They also have maids to serve them at home."
In the words of Xiao Xun, Mu Jingrui and Xiao Yuyu looked at each other.
It is only a small general who proves that Mu Jingrui's father and the enemy rebelled the country. With his income, it is impossible to support the expenses of the family.
What's more, after that incident, he was also greatly affected, and the family wealth dispersed a lot.
"Do you know ... how did these family property come from?"
"The slave took a little silver and drank several times with the family on their house. Hearing him, these homes were settled by a big official in the DPRK. Moreover, there was anything at home in the future.
There are also that big official to support them. "
Mu Jingrui's heart was stunned.
"Who are they talking about?"
Xiao Yan scratched his head, very embarrassed. But he didn't dare to hide it, to be honest. "
Mu Jingrui's brain bombarded, as if something exploded in his heart.
This is the answer he is most unwilling to hear, but he seems to have to face it.
Xiao Yuzhang saw that Mu Jingrui's face was ugly, and waved his hand to signal that Xiao Xun returned.
"It seems this ... is really suspicious."
If Shangguan Yue created this previous trap, Xiao Yuyu felt that Shangguan Yue and Xiao Zhenting would be difficult to separate.
After all, the unjust -border generals pass the enemy and betrayal. In case of being revealed, it is a felony of criminal crime.
For a long time, Mu Jingrui calmed down from shock and sadness.
"His Royal Highness, his subordinates want to take a trip to Linhe County in person."
Xiao Yuzhang groaned slightly and nodded. "Well. If you need support, go to Linhe County Government. I will give you a copy of my name for you to do things."
"Thanks to His Royal Highness."
Mu Jingrui's thoughts came out of Xiao Yuyu's study complicatedly, and when he met, he saw Mu Jingyan standing at the door.
He frowned slightly.
"This is the prince's study, and you can easily be considered an assassin here."
"His Royal Highness will not think so." Mu Jingyan's eyes looked at the elder brother and asked, "All kinds of evidence point to Shangguan Yue, what do you plan to do?"
"Shangguan Yue is really suspicious, but the evidence is insufficient. Don't act lightly, everything will wait for me to come back from Linhe County."
Mu Jingrui's tone is very calm and can't see any emotional fluctuations.
Mu Jingyan stared at him for a long time and asked softly: "Brother, do you like Shang Guan Wan Ning?"
Mu Jingrui froze all over, avoiding Mu Jingyan's sight.
"No."
His voice is hoarse, and such denials, even he feels insufficient.
"Then ... If Shangguan Yue framed his father and let our family destroy, would you kill him by yourself?"
Yes?
Mu Jingrui clenched his fists, and his eyes had a sharpness in his eyes.
"Aren't you afraid of keeping up with Guan Wan Ning into an enemy? Are you afraid to watch her marry someone else with his own eyes?"
Mu Jingyan was a little aggressive, which annoyed Mu Jingrui.
"I can do it. If you can do it. If you don't care about this, the girl's house should have a girl."
Mu Jingrui rarely talked to her sister so severe. He looked at Mu Jingyan's eyes red and lowered his head silently.
He was distressed and regretted.
"Sorry, I'm sorry ..."
Mu Jingrui reached out and wanted to soothe her sister. She was thrown away by Mu Jingyan and ran away with tears.
