Chapter 224 Two Places
Zong Zhenglin just came out of the gate of Chanruoyuan, and saw that not far ahead, Tian Fushan looked anxious, seeing him as if he saw a savior, and started to shout after a few steps. "Your Highness, something is wrong!"
Zong Zhenglin's face darkened. Tian Fushan has always been prudent, but he lost his position like today, which shows that the matter is urgent.
In Chanruo Garden, Helian Minmin sat quietly since His Highness the Sixth Highness left. I don't understand how Su Linrou got the opportunity to accompany her so easily. This matter is really unimaginable. Just thinking about it over and over again, she saw Zhao mama hurriedly looking for her, waved off the little maid, came up to her, and reported the letter under her breath.
"As soon as His Highness left the house, he was stopped by the chief steward. The old servant only heard a word of 'no' and the word 'Yao'. If there is no mistake, it must be that something happened to him. Otherwise, His Highness would not immediately lead someone , hurriedly left the house."
Helian Minmin regained his spirits immediately. "Yao"? Could it be the "Master Yao" that the screwdriver slave called?
It is inconvenient for her to go out at this time, and His Highness will never mention it to her. To investigate this matter, we can only borrow the hands of others.
"Tell Helian Weirui that now is the right time to find an opportunity to deal with Mu Xiyao. If you don't want to miss this opportunity, send someone to investigate."
Because of Helian Minmin's order, not only the Sixth Prince's Mansion was disturbed, but also the Eighth Prince's Mansion in the palace followed suit. What Helian Minmin didn't know was that it was also because of this private transmission of news that Zong Zhenglin was furious. In the next two years, he never set foot in Zen Ruoyuan.
An ordinary carriage with flower-blue curtains slowly drove away from the mansion in the east of the city. The woman covered with light veil quietly opened the car window a thin slit. Looking back through the gap, behind him Yan Chengzhou stood solemnly with a gun in his hand. The two guards were upright and neatly dressed.
Mu Xiyao gently lowered the car window, turned around and nodded slightly to the pale-faced Mu Xiting, only then did she let out a sigh of relief, and hurriedly grabbed her arm and couldn't stop complaining.
"Sister, if the Sixth Highness finds out that you have left the house like this today, my sister will never dare to visit."
Last time, he was so frightened by His Royal Highness that he couldn't control his limbs. This time, Mu Xiyao forced her to help her get rid of the strict guards. In this way, I am afraid that His Highness the Sixth Highness will be severely offended.
"What are you afraid of? The Sixth Highness doesn't eat people. You and I will say goodbye at the alley later, and you don't need to worry about things after that. If you are afraid of him, you can hide at the gate of the Prince's Mansion and leave the door. Could it be that His Highness the Sixth Prince can find someone else's backyard?"
Mu Xiyao is confident and fearless, so she is heartless. But Mu Xiting couldn't help feeling anxious and terrified. He only regretted that he couldn't bear her persecution, was said to have no assertiveness, and finally brought people out of the house.
Hui Lan, who was staring at the side, also blushed with anger. The master actually stunned Mo Lan, and recruited her with great fanfare, saying that he needed someone to serve him when he left the mansion! Now being coerced by the master to follow out of the house, I don't know how to explain when I go back.
"Master, you are too reckless. Your Highness knows it, and I will definitely forgive you." Hui Lan snorted twice, folded Mu Xiyao's cloak and put it on her lap, turning her face and ignoring others.
Just now, during the interrogation by Commander Yan, she was so frightened that she jumped up and down. Only now did it gradually get better, and the palms no longer sweated hard. If she was caught on the spot, the master would not be afraid, she might not know how many boards she would have to suffer before she could be considered exposing her.
"Isn't it usually very courageous, and dares to challenge the master. Why don't you appreciate it when I bring you out now." Mu Xiyao poked her in the head, if it wasn't for Mo Lan being trained by Zhao Momo to be reasonable , she wouldn't have no choice but to pick this bad-mouthed maid and reluctantly take it with her.
"Sister, you should let my sister know the truth first. Where are you going out of the house behind your Highness's back after such a big fight?" Last time, she was terrified of being scolded by Zong Zhenglin, but this time Mu Xiting learned a lesson, so she must ask clearly first. Whereabouts, in case the Sixth Highness came to the door, there is a way to deal with it.
Mu Xiyao didn't know what was going on in her mind. After such a long time in the secret passage, His Highness Sixth Highness still had the lingering prestige, which is really amazing. Pat the back of Mu Xiting's hand, just to comfort her. Doesn't this child want to remember Zong Zhenglin's black face for the rest of his life?
"Just stroll around, eat and have fun, and you must be in the busy alleys in Shengjing City. So you can feel at ease?"
There is no need to worry about eating and drinking in Shengjing City. With money, are you afraid that you will have nowhere to go?
At the intersection of the street, Mu Xiting, who was hesitant and undecided, was quickly sent away, and Mu Xiyao completely relaxed. If you want to bring Mu Xiting along, why come out today? With her temperament, it's better to stay in the house honestly.
Covered with a light gauze, Mu Xiyao took Hui Lan, who had deliberately dressed up with a double bun, from Dongshuncheng Street all the way through Sifangtang, Kuanzhai Alley, and headed for Sajin Street.
"Master, you must choose a place with many people. The servants are worried that if something happens, one person will not be able to protect you." Although the Huilan people jumped out, they were not stupid.
"Okay, how about going to the newly opened vegetarian restaurant?" Juxian Lou was tired of eating, and I heard that the vegetarian tofu feast is very good.
Hui Lan reluctantly nodded her head, which was considered her answer. In the end, I was still not at ease, and quickly added, "You have to go to the private room, the hall is lively, so let's not join in." I'm afraid that without His Highness watching, the master's troubles can't be controlled.
Mu Xiyao rolled her eyes, sorry! For the sake of convenience, he actually took an old woman out, and the chatter was more annoying than the Sixth Highness.
The two masters and servants found that the private room here was quite different from other places after entering the vegetarian restaurant.
The host was ingenious, and the entire second floor was divided into many small rooms with bamboo strips. The bamboo strips are very finely woven, so it will not be peeped by others. There are bamboo hats and coir raincoats hanging on the wall, and a Yaoqin incense burner for visitors to entertain.
"This place is not bad." Mu Xiyao took a fancy to it and praised it repeatedly. In Shengjing City, where there are many aristocratic families and is still luxurious and luxurious, there is such an elegant place, today's trip is worth it.
After ordering the most famous tofu feast, she got up and looked around the room. Mu Xiyao couldn't help but take a second look at the decorative water mill in the corner.
Is this meant to imitate pastoral humor? The owner of Suwei Zhai has put a lot of thought into it.
"Xiaoer, is there a Yaoqin in every room here? Are you afraid that some guests will play music at the same time, making it a headache?" Mu Xiyao was a little curious.
"My lady, you don't know something. Most of the people who come to Suweizhai are scholars who love elegance. Of course they don't make noise at will. There are 17 elegant rooms on the second floor. Often someone speaks first, and others will Dodge by yourself and focus on listening to the music. As you said, it has never happened since Suweizhai was listed."
"So that's the case." Mu Xiyao nodded. His eyes indicated that Hui Lan had given the reward, and asked people to back out.
"Master, this place is so interesting." Hui Lan was far less experienced than Mu Xiyao, when she saw this arrangement for the first time, she felt strange. I worked as an errand in Mu's Mansion since I was a child, and I have never seen the real fun of farming.
"How? Now I know the benefits of following the master?"
"Don't. If you come with His Highness, the slaves will be happier."
Mu Xiyao was discouraged. This girl was also frightened by Zong Zhenglin's lustful power, and she never forgot to mention something to her.
After all the dishes were served, Hui Lan waited on and brought dishes to Mu Xiyao. I just took a sip, and was about to praise the taste, when I heard the sound of silk and bamboo in the private room next door.
Slightly curling, layers upon layers of swaying, Qingyinquanquan, so comfortable and elegant.
The song "The Ballad of the Heron" just started, and Mu Xiyao was already intrigued. The piano art is extraordinary and the realm is far-reaching. Such a person has such attainments, among the many famous songs she has listened to, only one person's music can match her. It's a pity that the person who was chosen back then was Xiao, not Qin.
This Mu Xiyao is in a leisurely mood, immersing herself in the piano music to enjoy herself. Over there, Zong Zhenglin's face was as dark as ink, and there was a faint murderous intent in his phoenix eyes.
"I'm so brave." If he was one step later, Chun Yuyao might not survive. Kicking away the howling people on the ground, Zong Zhenglin walked slowly to the front of the bed.
Seeing the naked woman on the couch with dull eyes, Zong Zhenglin suddenly became angry.
"Has this hall ever warned you that whenever you leave the bookstore, you must be followed closely by the guards?"
Chunyu Yao was trembling, her body was covered with bruises. Especially the chest, still aching. Clutching the quilt under her body with both hands, she could only cry silently, sobbing without saying a word.
Zong Zhenglin saw the woman in front of him being bullied beyond recognition, and she had a face very similar to Mu Xiyao. Unable to suppress his anger, he raised his foot and kicked over the short chair in front of the couch.
"Bastard thing, drag it out to the hall and chop it up!"
The man whose arm was broken on the ground and blood was still dripping from the corner of his mouth, seeing His Highness the Sixth Highness so furious, said that he wanted to take his life.
"Your Highness, this person is the eldest son of the Second Household of the Champion Houhou's Mansion. Think twice, Your Highness." Wei Zhenzi heard the movement from outside the door, and did not dare to look up from the beginning to the end. Although the woman on the bed has nothing to do with His Highness, that face... If you don't want to die, it's better to avoid it. Especially when it comes to this matter, the taboo is so big that it makes people tremble just thinking about it!
Champion Hou... Zong Zhenglin was even more murderous. The Empress Dowager's family, Zong Zhenghui is so generous.
"His hands were crippled, and he was taken to Yue Lai Lou for custody. There is no need to keep those dog eyes."
His Highness the Sixth Highness has never been a gentle person. His bottom line was touched, and his methods were usually harsh and extreme.
Looking at Chunyuyao's eyes on the bed, she didn't even care to hide her shame in front of the man, it was obvious that she wanted to die.
"If you want to find your brother, put away your death plan. If you really can't think about it, this hall will not hesitate to give you a ride."
Chunyu Yao's originally desperate face gradually changed following Zong Zhenglin's cold words. In the end, tears fell like rain, curled up and cried bitterly.
Wei Zhen backed away quietly carrying the person on his shoulders, and when he was leading the door, His Highness raised his hand and took off the cloak. After this incident, His Highness and the Crown Prince are afraid that their faces will be completely torn apart. According to His Highness's temperament, the next days should not be leisurely.
In Suwei Zhai, Mu Xiyao still has more to say. It's a pity that the person next door is silent after a song. Just as he was concentrating on having a good meal, he was attracted by the conversation of the two people next door.
"Your Highness, together with Yinlu, you are already in a family of your own, few others can match you. I respect you for being able to have this foundation in government affairs and spare time."
"Mr. praises it. This hall is only slightly tasted. The emblem style created by Mr. Bibi is well-known among scribes and has a deep influence."
Emblem? Mu Xiyao's eyes suddenly brightened. It happened to be a coincidence today that I met an acquaintance here. The first to reveal the identity of that person is also clear in the heart, there is no need to doubt it.
