Xu Rongrong felt the pain, so she pulled her hand back from Mu Rong's palm.

It was also because of this pain that she suddenly realized that she had talked so much.

Perhaps it was the quiet atmosphere in the carriage that made her suddenly have a strong desire to talk. Now that she calmed down... she realized that she had been talking for so long.

So she hurriedly changed the subject: "Don't you think I'm too cruel, Lord Marquis? I came back home and ruined half of my family in just half a day."

Mu Rong smiled faintly when he heard this, and looked at her with gentle eyes: "If Rongrong views herself this way, then what I did today, wouldn't it be... that I was helping the tyrants to commit evil?"

Xu Rongrong was startled for a moment, then curled up his lips: "Today...thank you so much, Lord Marquis."

She knew that if Mu Rong hadn't secretly helped, today would not have been so smooth.

Apart from anything else, when Xu Minmin was pulled away, it was clear that there was nothing around her. But when she pounced on Xu Yaoyao again, she was holding a sharp piece of porcelain in her hand. Needless to say... this must also be Mu Rong's handiwork.

In addition, he quietly shot down the cup of poisonous tea in his father's hand earlier...

Naturally, she has to accept this relationship.

Mu Rong knew that the people around him had already understood everything, so he reached out his hand again and wrapped Xu Rongrong's palm in his palm: "You and I, husband and wife, why do you need to say thank you? Rongrong's fingers are white and clean, I just don't want them to be stained by blood. It’s just dirty.”

Xu Rongrong's cheeks turned red at what he said and she lowered her head.

In the closed carriage, the shyness added to the charm. Mu Rong's Adam's apple rolled involuntarily. The atmosphere at this time made his mouth dry.

In order to prevent Xu Rongrong from discovering the ice-sealing poison in his body, he had not been close to her for a long time.

This moment of charm almost awakened his true nature.

He quickly changed the subject: "The two young ladies of the Xu Mansion have committed such a serious crime. I'm afraid Master Xu will not be spared and will probably be reprimanded again... The only fourth young master Xu Ming left in the Xu Mansion is, I don't know what Rong Rong plans to do with it. ?”

In Mu Rong's impression, the young man was still a good young man. After he single-handedly overthrew the Xu Mansion in his previous life, Xu Ming did not scold himself for being tyrannical and cruel like other tribesmen. When he learned from himself that his eldest sister After the encounter in the Xu Mansion, he left without saying a word and completely disappeared.

But every year during the Qingming Festival, Mu Rong would see traces of someone worshiping in front of Xu Rongrong’s tomb.

It lasted for thirteen years.

But, after all, that was Xu Ming in his previous life. Today, he saw his two sisters killing each other because of Xu Rongrong, and even being kidnapped in front of everyone. He wonders if his character will change now...

Xu Rongrong didn't know the outcome of Xu Ming's previous life, but regarding today's events, he still knew etiquette and etiquette.

As for the future...

She smiled lightly: "He has never harmed me, so naturally I will not retaliate against him. Reading makes people sensible. Didn't the Marquis say that Bishui Hall is the best at shaping people's character? If he has evil intentions, he will not be able to deal with it when the time comes. Not too late."

"In this case, I will send someone to give Deng a message tomorrow." After all, he has promised Xu Ming today. If he wants to stay in Baiyang Academy, he can go to the Bishui Hall to take the exam, but the exam will be overtaken. Qualifications are not available to everyone.

Xu Rongrong heard this and thanked him warmly.

Mu Rong smiled and said: "The head of Deng of Bishui Hall is an old-fashioned man. If you want to persuade him to go beyond the level to evaluate Mr. Xu, in addition to meeting his request with real materials, you will also need to spend extra words. Can Rong Rong just say thank you?" Just send me away?"

Xu Rongrong was stunned and subconsciously stepped back, pressing her back against the inner wall of the carriage: "Then the Marquis still wants to..."

Seeing that she was guarding against him like a thief, Mu Rong raised his eyebrows slightly and couldn't help laughing: "As long as Rong Rong doesn't think about moving out of Xinghui Hall all day long."

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Xu Rongrong was stunned: "How did the Marquis know?"

Indeed, she has been wanting to move out of Xinghui Hall and move to Qinglan Residence in the back house of the Marquis Mansion these days.

She originally wanted to mention this matter to him yesterday, but he was worried about Prince Ning at that time, so she planned to talk about it in two days, but she didn't expect that he knew everything?

Mu Rong looked at her astonished look with a smile on his face: "I am the only one in the world who knows how to look."

Seeing the light in Mu Rong's eyes, Xu Rongrong turned away and looked out the window.

The confession without response did not disappoint Mu Rong.

Because the pink color coming out of the girl's ears is enough to prove everything.

……

The Xu Mansion was dealt with faster than anyone imagined.

Compared with the Xu Mansion sisters hurting each other, their guilt in murdering the Lord of Ping'an County was more serious.

There were many witnesses, and there was no doubt about the case. The Jingzhao Yin Mansion only tried it for one day before reporting the results to the Zongzheng Office.

The Clan Administration Office specializes in cases involving clan members and royal relatives, and will submit them to the emperor after the reconciliation is correct.

Before Xu Chao could go out and plead for mercy, the emperor's decree had already been issued:

Xu Yaoyao, the second daughter of the Xu family, conspired to murder the county lord of Ping'an, and Xu Minmin, the third daughter of the Xu family, collaborated to murder the county lord and assassinate her own sister. The evidence was conclusive and they should have been sentenced to death. However, considering that the two girls were young, they punished the sixty and forty-year-old women with a stick and expelled them. Capital, never return to the capital!

Persons with mortal, civil or merchant status are not allowed to marry these two girls.

Anyone born from such children will not be allowed to participate in the imperial examination!

Weizhou colleagues knew that Xu Chao had no way to teach his daughter, which led to a tragedy that almost affected the clan. He was demoted from the post of Weizhou Tongzhi of the fifth rank. In order to raise him as the head of Ping'an County, he was appointed as the head of Qulan County. He took office immediately without delay!

This is the second time Xu Chaoqian has received an order.

The first time was when his eldest daughter was given a marriage. At that time, he and Yourong were very happy, and the whole family was overjoyed.

And this time...

Xu Yaoyao, whom he regarded as the apple of his eye, has been disfigured, and now he has been punished by the emperor for a full sixty sticks... He is afraid that he will be completely disabled.

The two daughters are not allowed to marry with scholar, civilian, or merchant status, so the only people who are willing to marry them are slaves and peasants... But if you add that the children are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, then only those with slave status are willing to marry. Got it!

Emperor, this is forcing them to death!

What about yourself?

Qulan County is adjacent to the western border. Not only has it experienced droughts and severe winds for many years, the locals live in cave dwellings all year round. It is said that they cannot take a bath for half a year. Being able to wash your face once every ten months is considered a luxury!

He has never experienced such suffering in his life!

However, this was an imperial decree and he couldn't help but bargain.

The little eunuch who delivered the order looked at him condescendingly: "Master Xu, why don't you quickly accept the order and thank me?"

"Lord Registrar, you should be satisfied. If you hadn't raised a good daughter like the Lord of Ping'an County, I'm afraid that by now, the Hefu would be littered with corpses! Murdering the County Lord would be the sin of genocide!"

Xu Chao prostrated on the ground, his whole body shaking like chaff.

The young eunuch was originally an insignificant figure in the palace, but he was able to deliver the order this time because the man above him was too lazy to leave the palace, so he got this job.

I originally wanted to watch a joke about the official family.

But Xu Chaoqian's raised buttocks and prostrate posture dampened his interest.

When he walked out of the gate of Xu Mansion, he spat: "How can a person with such a handsome face as Master Xu be able to cultivate a county chief? With this appearance, he might not be his biological son."
