The lady is reborn? The crazy villain kisses her forcefully and won't let go!

When he raised his eyes again, he looked at Mu Luan with a stern expression, "We'll discuss this matter after Father comes back."

Mu Luan asked anxiously: "But what happened?"

At this time, Madam Mu also noticed something was wrong. She reached out and covered Mu Sinian's hard wrist guard and asked, "Did Heng'er encounter any danger?"

His wife was right beside him, and Mu Sinian knew he couldn't hide it, so he simply said, "Heng'er will be fine, it's just that there was a problem with the construction of the Lingqu Canal. I'm rushing over now. Don't worry, it will be handled. Wait for me to come back."

Mr. Mu Si patted his wife's arm tenderly and hurried out of the study as usual.

Madam Mu wanted to follow, but was stopped by Mu Qingyu, who advised, "Mother and Yaoyao, please stay. Mother is tired today, so go to bed early. I'll go see father off."

"Yaoyao, please don't leave the house for the time being. Stay here obediently."

Mu Qingyu gave Mu Luan another reminder, then turned around and immediately caught up with his father.

The night was as dark as ink. The glazed lamps under the corridor swayed gently, reflecting the two people who were hurriedly walking down the corridor.

"Dad, has something happened to my brother?"

Mu Qingyu followed his father and couldn't help but ask.

Mu Sinian did not hide the truth from his youngest son, and said in a serious tone, "The wood used to build the Lingqu Canal was replaced with hollow rotten wood. I need to rush over overnight, Qingyu!"

He suddenly stopped and said sternly, "Take good care of the mother and daughter. Your father will be back soon."

After saying that, he patted Mu Qingyu on the shoulder, turned around and walked away.

Mu Qingyu stood there in a daze for a long time, and his throat tightened.

The wood used to build the Lingqu Canal was actually replaced with hollow rotten wood?

If the Lingqu Canal was really opened, the Mu family would become eternal sinners!

Without having time to think, he immediately went to the mansion gate to help count the soldiers.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Mu Sinian led his men out of the general's mansion and quickly headed towards Yangcheng.

Mu Luan finally managed to persuade A Niang to go back and rest, but when he chased out, the door was empty.

Only the second brother was left with his brows lowered. The glass lamp hung high in front of the mansion gate could not illuminate the heaviness in his eyes.

"Second brother?"

Mu Luan called softly.

Mu Qingyu was slightly startled and tilted his head to look down the stone steps.

Mu Luan lifted her skirt, climbed the stairs, came to her second brother, frowned and asked: "Did something happen to my eldest brother?"

Mu Qingyu hesitated for a moment and looked behind her.

Mu Luan followed his line of sight and understood what was going on. "Don't worry. In the past, every time Dad went out, he was always in a hurry and in an emergency. Mom didn't get suspicious. I came here only after I comforted her."

Mu Qingyu looked into Yaoyao's clear eyes and said solemnly, "Brother, something went wrong while building the Lingqu Canal."

"what?"

Mu Luan's body swayed slightly, and Mu Qingyu hurriedly supported her, "Don't worry, Dad will be able to get to Yangcheng soon."

Mu Luan asked worriedly, "Is Big Brother seriously injured?"

Mu Qingyu was slightly stunned, then realized that he had said something wrong. He cursed himself inwardly and quickly corrected himself, "Brother is not injured. There is a problem with the Lingqu Canal. Someone replaced the wood used to build the Lingqu Canal with hollow rotten wood. Once the valve is opened, hundreds of lives downstream will be implicated."

Mu Luan's heart sank again and again. Hundreds of lives would ruin his eldest brother's life.

It can even drag the Mu family into the water!

The timber used to build the Lingqu Canal was swapped for no reason. The eldest brother only then discovered that it was obvious that someone had framed him and deliberately concealed the truth.

Not only to frame the eldest brother, but also to frame the Mu family.

Mu Luan thought about it carefully, and his eyes suddenly brightened. "My eldest brother estimated before he went to Yangcheng that the Lingqu Canal would be completed in about four months. Now only a month has passed. As long as we add more manpower and call on people to work in shifts, we will definitely be able to complete the construction task on time."

Thinking of this, Mu Luan held her second brother's arm excitedly.

But when she raised her eyes, she did not see any joy in his eyes.

Mu Qingyu was silent for a while, and said: "The people above have been urging us to complete the project. The construction period has been shortened from four months to two months, and now there is only one month left.

Even if everyone worked without sleep, food or water, the Lingqu Canal would not be rebuilt. This is assuming no other obstacles are involved.

But the most important thing is that the pine wood used to build the Lingqu Canal was swapped out. It takes time to cut down and transport the wood, so there is no time at all!"

The further he talked, the less confident Mu Qingyu became.

The best outcome would be to sentence the eldest brother to poor supervision and send him back to Beijing to apologize.

But winter is coming soon, and Yangcheng has the heaviest rainfall in winter.

If floods caused harm to the people due to the failure to build the Lingqu Canal, the crime put on my brother would not only be failure to supervise properly.

Mu Luan was unaware of the shortened construction period. After hearing what her second brother said, her heart sank to the bottom.

When the family finally gets reunited, is the Mu family going to experience the pain of being torn apart again?

With her heart in turmoil, Mu Luan tried hard to calm herself down.

Don't panic, there will definitely be a way.

"The people above?"

Mu Luan suddenly caught a glimpse of something suspicious, "Who is the person supervising the construction period?"

Mu Qingyu thought back to the person mentioned in his elder brother's letter last time, "Minister of Works Zuo Cheng!"

Zuo Cheng...

Why does this name sound so familiar? I seem to have heard it somewhere before.

"What are you doing?"

"My clothes, let me go!"

"Palm print, save me!"

"..."

Mu Luan vaguely remembered some noisy and chaotic noises, and after a moment she suddenly raised her eyes, "He is Cao Mang's man!"

She is Cao Mang’s partner!

That year, when Jun Zhao broke into the palace and arrived outside Cao Mang's direct room, Mu Luan heard the guards gasping and mocking, "The seal holder is so generous that he is actually eating with Zuo Cheng, the Minister of Works!"

“It’s disgusting!”

Then Cao Mang's sharp voice came out, "Since you know who I am, why don't you get out of here?"

The guards obviously did not take Cao Mang's words to heart. They just knew that they could not let the regent wait.

"I'm sorry, but I obey!"

He replied with just four words, then walked forward and grabbed the person on the bed.

Cao Mang and the other person were both stunned.

Before he could even undress, he was dragged out by the guards in dishevel.

Zuo Cheng didn't know that the person who wanted to see them was the Regent Jun Zhao, and he kept clamoring for Cao Mang to save him.

Jun Zhao had no patience at the time and was eager to settle accounts with Cao Mang.

I heard the noise beside my ears and didn't even look at it.

He just raised his angular jaw slightly.

Then a guard stepped forward quickly, raised his knife and accurately cut off Zuo Cheng's tongue.

Zuo Cheng didn't even have time to see Jun Zhao's face clearly before he was dragged back to the main room, and his life or death was unknown.

At that time, she was floating beside Jun Zhao and could see Zuo Cheng's face clearly.

He has narrow eyebrows, a tall figure, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and is quite masculine.

Moreover, this man was extremely strong, and it took three strong guards to hold him down.
