Man and wife counterattack

Uncle Zhao didn't dare to tell Grandma Mu and Master Mu about this in advance, and after handing over all the arrangements for the New Year's Eve dinner in Mu's residence to his subordinates, he went to find Mu Jue himself.

Mu Jue was reading a book at this time, and frowned upon hearing this.

A letter from the imperial city.

If it's not from the Prince Xin's Mansion, then it should be from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

How could Credible disappear?

Knowing that he heard it from the side, he quietly stopped his hand that was grinding the ink, and went outside to find Dahao. After whispering for a while, he saw Dahao also entered the house, and then entered the house again. back room.

You Xuan was still sleeping in the back room.

But after a while he got up.

The door of the back room opened, and You Xuan, who was wearing black fox fur, came out, glanced at Uncle Zhao, and said, "I won't miss you, go and call me all the people who are going to guard the gate of the mansion today, and ask them clearly, Who is staying at the gate of the mansion today?"

The letter will not disappear.

Moreover, there are not many good people in the Mu residence.

Uncle Zhao bowed to Mu Jue, and then quickly followed You Xuan's instructions.

After a while, Uncle Zhao brought people over, two servants guarding the gate, two servants who hung lanterns and pasted Spring Festival couplets at the gate of the mansion today, and several servants who were in charge of going out to buy things, including the sixth young master's yard. The two maids in the house went out to visit relatives, and the guards beside the third young master went out to buy medicine.

There are about ten people in total.

When Mu Liu heard about this, he came to watch the excitement, and sneered, "A letter from the imperial city? Could it be something important or something important? Why don't you call the whole mansion here for questioning?" , this scene is still a little small."

You Xuan turned a blind eye, and only called the names of the two gatekeepers, "When was the letter delivered?"

"An hour ago."

You Xuan asked again: "Around this hour, who passed by the gate of the mansion?"

"A lot of people, the young lady's natal family sent a few maids to deliver things to the young lady, the Liu's restaurant and the Yejia jewelry store also sent invitations, and the servants who went out to buy also delivered things back and forth several times Oh, by the way, there is also the guard of the third young master, when he came back from buying medicine, his family members just came to ask him for something, and they talked for a long time at the gate of the mansion."

The two servants guarding the gate were afraid of getting into trouble, so they told everything about what happened at the gate of the mansion today.

But Mu's Mansion is always lively, and today is New Year's Eve, not to mention Mu's Mansion, even ordinary people's houses are lively and happy today, so...it's not like remembering everything, let alone everyone who went in and out.

The more You Xuan heard it, the worse his mood became. He didn't like this very much, so he said: "Uncle Zhao, take Zhizhi and Fang Zhuo to their room to check. Zhizhi, bring a few more servants over there."

He didn't let the servants of the Mu family investigate.

Only let Uncle Zhao take Zhizhi with them, and then let Zhizhi take a few servants from their yard.

Just because I can't trust the people on Uncle Zhao's side.

Uncle Zhao nodded in agreement.

Mu Liu was not too happy, and said sarcastically, "It's just a letter, it's not enough."

Then he looked at Mu Jue, who was standing next to You Xuan, who was always cold and silent, and said as if reminding or threatening: "Second brother, don't make such a big deal out of it."

Mu Jue said coldly, "So what."

"..."

You Xuan looked suspiciously at Mu Liu, "Could it be you who stole the letter?"

"..." Mu Liu sensed a hint of danger, and immediately said, "No."

-

The letter sent from the imperial city may be related to Mu Jue's future.

But the letter was gone.

You Xuandong became angry, and asked Zhizhi and others to search from the servants' room first, and then sent someone to Mu Liu and others' yard to find the letter. Of course, Mu Liu refused, so he asked his servants Trouble for him, and trouble for himself are completely different things.

But no one can stop You Xuan.

Besides, there is Mu Jue.

After about half an hour.

A flimsy letter with the seal of the Xin Palace was still found.

It was Uncle Zhao who found it in person. His face was a little pale, whether he was tired or flustered, he held the envelope in both hands and handed it to Mu Jue, "Second young master, the letter has been found, it is at the gate of the house, yes, yes The ones at the door, the servants didn’t notice, no, they misplaced it, didn’t notice it for a while, and found it after searching carefully.” He stammered his words.

You Xuan stared at the side for a while, with a slightly cold expression, and said after a while, "It's all gone."

Uncle Zhao led his servants to leave first.

Mu Liu, who watched the bustle for a long time, also noticed a little weirdness, and he didn't care about the trouble of finding Zhefengyuan, so he chased him out to find Uncle Zhao, "What's going on?"

Uncle Zhao asked his servants to leave first, and he and Mu Liu were the only ones around, and then he looked puzzled: "Sixth Young Master, this matter..."

Mu Liu said: "What's going on?"

Uncle Zhao said in a low voice, "This letter was thrown at the door just now, and it was inside the mansion, not outside the mansion..."

"That's a house thief." Mu Liu sneered, "There is no one other than Mu Dan for such a bold house thief."

Uncle Zhao looked puzzled, "Sixth Young Master, don't talk about it anymore. I just asked the master about it, and the master said it's fine. Don't look it up anymore. Anyway, the letter is back."

Mu Liu sneered, "Hold your ears and steal your bell."

"Grandmother is eccentric, and father is also eccentric." Mu Liu put away his sneer, then turned his head and ordered his attendants, "Tell mother and elder brother this matter completely, and also tell Zhefengyuan about this matter."

Uncle Zhao: "...Here, Sixth Young Master, this is..."

Mu Liu ignored him, turned around and left.

-

The letter was sent by King Xiaoxin. He wrote that after the prime minister had read the article written by Mu Jue, he had read all the articles he had written before and praised him very much.

But King Xiaoxin said in the letter very cryptically that the imperial city has been very windy recently, and it would not be too late to come back to the imperial city later.

Mu Jue is writing a reply.

And You Xuan was outside, peeling sugar-fried chestnuts and listening to Da Hao's words with a cold face—after listening, You Xuan said, "Mu Liu suspects it's Mu Dan?"

"I doubt him too."

Da Hao said: "Then what is the young master going to do?"

"Let's talk about it at the family dinner on New Year's Eve tonight."

Dahao nodded, and he wanted to say something more. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Mu Jue had already written the letter and was putting the letter paper into the envelope, so he reminded You Xuan, and then stepped aside.

You Xuan put the shelled chestnuts into his mouth, walked up to Mu Jue, and said, "This letter says that the wind is strong... What's going on in the imperial city?"

Mu Jue said indifferently, "The palace is not peaceful."

You Xuan suddenly realized, "Then go to the imperial city?"

"Of course not." Mu Jue remembered what happened today, his brows turned cold, and he didn't have much affection for the Mu Mansion, and said, "Let's set off for Lengzhou in three days."

You Xuan said yes, "Got it, I will start packing my luggage in the next two days."

"Yes."

The New Year's Eve in the Mu Mansion was not lively, and there were not many smiles.

Master Mu took the initiative to ask, "The letter sent from the imperial city today is about such an important matter?"

Mu Jue replied, "No."

Master Mu said: "...Is it a letter from King Xiaoxin? Did he ask you to go to the imperial city?"

You Xuan interrupted them, "Today this letter was found in Mu's residence, and some people said it was..." He looked at Mu Dan and said, "Some people said it was a family thief."

Master Mu frowned, "What kind of house thief, stop talking nonsense."

You Xuan said self-consciously, "Mu's house has had burglars several times, but they were all family thieves, but they were not severely punished once, so it's not appropriate to do so."

The atmosphere stiffened for a moment.

Master Mu put down the wine cup, and said, "For Chinese New Year, let's talk about this matter after the Lantern Festival."

But the Miao family, who had always ignored the affairs of the Mu family, suddenly said, "Let's make it clear today, it's time to deal with the family thieves in the Mu family, otherwise... what does this family look like. There are no rules and no education."

Grandma Mu heard some things that she didn't believe, but she didn't know who stole the letter, but when Mrs. Miao talked about family thieves, Grandma Mu could probably guess who it was referring to.

And Miao's last words of no rules and no upbringing directly hit Grandma Mu's rebellion.

She was furious and said, "What kind of family thief, this matter - it is not up to you, a woman, to have the final say on the affairs of the Mu Mansion. That's fine, let's forget about this matter."

Master Mu smoothed things over, "Mother, don't be angry. Forget it, forget about it."

But Miao was not happy.

Miao said: "The family thief must be severely punished. When I was in Wutong Town before, the family thief ate inside and outside. This matter has passed and can be ignored, but this is the second time, so I can't ignore it."

Mu Dan suddenly said, "Yes, it is true that the house thief should be severely punished. But who is the house thief?"

Everyone looked at him suddenly.

Mu Dan refused, "You suspect it's me? It's not me, you guessed wrong."

He doesn't admit it.

And no one has proof.

Mu Liu stood up abruptly, and said, "Housekeeper, tell me, isn't it him!"

Uncle Zhao took a step forward, a little embarrassed, "Sixth young master, how do I know..."

He really didn't know, he only knew that Master Mu was unwilling to take care of the family thief that appeared again in the mansion today.

Master Mu got a little angry, what's going on during the good family banquet and New Year's Eve, he said: "Okay, let's all sit down and eat."

After dinner, the Miao family moved out with the nuns and maids, and moved out of the Mu Mansion.

She's had enough.

When Mu Chang and Yu Wenhui heard about this, they didn't dare to stop the Miao family who was furious.

Master Mu chased him out, but was stopped, so he had to come back resentfully.

-

On New Year's Eve, the outside of the Mu Mansion was filled with the sound of fireworks.

You Xuan opened the window to look at the night scene outside, and said, "Go and check Mu Dan tomorrow."

Mu Jue read the book, "What?"

You Xuan's character is defensive, he thought of what happened today and what happened in the Zhefengyuan in Wutong Town before, and he was in a bad mood, so he said, "I can't swallow this breath."

Mu Jue lowered his eyes slightly, he closed the book, and went out for a while.

After a while, Zhizhi and Dahao walked out of the yard.

It was almost noon when Zhijie and Dahao came back. They told Mu Jue, "The third young master just sent someone to inquire about the news about the imperial city. Besides, the gatekeeper also whispered that today the three The young master's guard stopped them several times, the letter should have been stolen by the guard."

Mu Jue nodded.

The next day.

Mu Dan has encountered difficulties and troubles in several shops in Phoenix Sea City
