Man and wife counterattack

On the third day of the new year, You Xuan was sitting on the porch peeling sugar-fried chestnuts, while Mu Jue was playing chess next to him.

Dahao squatted beside him making tea.

And Zhizhi and Fangzhuo are in the room instructing the maids to pack their luggage. They will leave Phoenix Sea City for Lengzhou tomorrow. There is not much luggage, and according to You Xuan's meaning, it is Mu Jue who needs to take the idea. The articles I usually write, the occasional calligraphy and paintings I make in my spare time, and some ancient and famous books I brought back from Yaoxuan.

And at this time.

Mu Dan is here.

When Mu Dan came, he also brought a few calligraphy and paintings and a valuable porcelain vase, which was meant as an apology, but he didn't say it directly, obviously because he wanted to save himself a little face, "I heard that you are packing your luggage, Are you going to the imperial city?"

You Xuan swept all the chestnut shells on the table to the ground, looked up and said, "What are you doing here?"

Mu Dan couldn't say it: "..."

After a while, Mu Dan said, "Second brother, you must have brought all the troubles in my shop."

"If I make a big deal out of this matter,... have you thought about the consequences? Can you still go to the road to the imperial city?" Mu Dan's words were full of threats.

Mu Jue said indifferently, "A few years ago, your mother Feng Shi poisoned me, you also knew about it."

Mu Dan's expression froze, and he denied it hurriedly after a while, "I don't know."

Mu Jue said, "Otherwise, why would she poison her?"

Mu Dan was speechless for a moment.

Mu Jue looked at him indifferently, and said: "Yesterday's letter was also hidden by you. If You Xuan hadn't searched the entire Mu Mansion to find the letter, you would have destroyed this letter."

"Just like a few years ago, your mother poisoned me and almost killed me."

"..." Mu Dan was silent for a while, before uttering a half-truth, "I'm just curious about what this letter from the imperial city is about."

He admitted that he had stolen the letter.

But who would believe that he only stole the letter out of curiosity.

Aunt Feng was poisoned a few years ago, and Mu Dan stole the letter a few years later.

——Both of these things have a purpose, that is, they want to ruin Mu Jue's future.

King and loser.

There is revenge.

Mu Jue now also wants to ruin Mu Dan's future, which is also normal.

He is not a saint.

Mu Dan suddenly realized that he knelt down and said, "I apologize on behalf of my mother, my mother shouldn't have poisoned you, but, but I'm really just curious about what was written in that letter, I,... Please Let me go."

Mu Jue lowered his eyes calmly, looked at him and said, "I almost couldn't survive in Zhefengyuan before. From now on, you can't stay in Phoenix Sea City any longer. Go back to Wutong Town and stay in Mu's Mansion. Don't get out of your way."

Mu Dan's expression changed instantly, "Father won't agree!"

"But the Miao family will agree, and everyone except you will agree." You Xuan said, "You have harmed the interests of the Mu family repeatedly for the sake of the Feng family. I can't stand you anymore."

Mu Dan stared at them, his eyes were full of viciousness, "The Mu family is not the Miao family, she has the final say."

After speaking, Mu Dan got up and left.

But his back was in a state of embarrassment.

Mrs. Miao has been married to Master Mu for decades. Even as the mistress of the family, she has never been in charge of the affairs of the Mu Mansion, but she knows the affairs outside the Mu Manor like the palm of her hand.

Ever since she quarreled with Master Mu nine years ago, she is no longer a jealous person. She can completely accommodate all the concubines and concubine children of Master Mu.

But Mu Zirui repeatedly found fault with her before, blocking her way.

So she drove him away mercilessly.

But now she found that the person who really found fault with her was Mu Dan.

And she also found that Mu Dan was a very ambitious person, so she couldn't stay.

-

Early in the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

Mu Jue and You Xuan left Phoenix Sea City, Master Mu and others sent them to the gate of the city, and after saying a few words politely, Mu Jue and You Xuan got into the carriage.

Master Mu and others returned to the Mu Mansion.

Just after returning to the Mu Mansion, the Miao family came back, but Mu Dan was also sent out of Phoenix Sea City—the Miao family also specifically explained that after Mu Dan returned to the Mu Mansion in Wutong Town, he would be confined for two years, self-cultivation and self-cultivation, and he would not be allowed to take a single step Leaving Mu Mansion.

For this reason, the Miao family specially sent several guards to watch over Mu Dan.

Master Mu also knew about this, but he didn't intercede for Mu Dan.

Because it is not necessary.

Mu Dan has done too many wrong things these days, fanning the flames everywhere, picking things up and finding faults everywhere, he really should reflect on himself.

-

Outside the city of Fenghuanghai is a sea, Fenghuanghai, snowflakes are falling on the sea, and there are trees planted on the mountains by the sea. They are sycamore trees brought from Wutong Town, which have a history of hundreds of years.

At the end of Wutong Town is the gate of Phoenix Sea City.

There will never be a shortage of sycamore trees on the Phoenix Sea.

It was getting dark, and three carriages stopped in front of an inn one after another.

The waiter in the inn came out quickly, and after asking how many rooms they wanted, he took them upstairs to choose a room, then hurried downstairs to let the back kitchen prepare food and hot water, and then went out to take the coachman and others to find the stables .

In the upstairs room—

The food in the inn was mediocre. After You Xuan ate half a steamed bun, he drank another bowl of egg soup, and sat by the bed to soak his feet.

It was too cold in the carriage.

After soaking for a while, You Xuan remembered something, and asked Mu Jue who was still eating, "By the way, didn't you say you were going to go by water?"

Mu Jue said, "Let's take a detour first, and we won't arrive at the ferry until the day after tomorrow,"

You Xuan said with some concern, "The weather is so cold, will it be colder living at sea?"

Mu Jue finished most of the food before saying, "I don't know. I'll ask tomorrow."

You Xuan said oh, and asked him to come over and soak his feet, "You've been reading all afternoon, are your hands cold?"

Mu Jue said no, then walked to the side of the package and took out two books from it, one of which was the storybook that You Xuan had been reading repeatedly recently, and it was "The Peony Fairy" that he had read before. Even if I watch it repeatedly, I don't feel tired.

The other book is an ancient book that Mu Jue read in the carriage today, and most of it contains some famous theories.

The next day.

There was a commotion downstairs.

When You Xuan opened his eyes, he was hungry, sleepy and cold. After a while, he looked at Mu Jue, who had just woken up, and asked, "What's the noise downstairs?"

Mu Jue held him in his arms, "Is it cold?"

You Xuan nodded, but said, "I'm so hungry."

But just a few people came downstairs this morning, five or six thin and tall men, but they finished all the breakfast cooked in the inn kitchen, and the kitchen was re-cooking breakfast. After waiting for half an hour, You Xuan finally had Steamed buns and wontons.

There are eight buns in two dishes, and two bowls of wontons.

You Xuan loves to eat wontons, after eating two bowls, Mu Jue ate steamed stuffed buns.

After eating, Zhizhi and Fangtable came to pack their luggage. Dahao came over after a long time, holding half a meat bun in his hand, and while eating anxiously, he said, "The gang of idiots downstairs seem to be going to Phoenix. Haicheng is looking for someone."

You Xuan put on his shoes disapprovingly, and said, "Have you packed your luggage?"

"It's packed." Cicada replied.

Dahao wiped his hands in embarrassment, carried the luggage they had just packed, and moved downstairs first. There were no longer those few men who looked thin and tall but were edible in the lobby of the inn downstairs. He asked casually Calling the shop waiter, the shop waiter whispered back, "In the stables in the backyard, I should start off after feeding the horses."

Dahao oh oh, and said with emotion that they really can eat, and then went out with his luggage.

The coachman had already driven the carriage from the stable to the gate of the inn. As soon as the luggage was put into the carriage, You Xuan and Mu Jue went downstairs.

Suddenly there was the sound of hooves from the stable.

You Xuan opened the car window to take a breath, glanced at the direction of the sound of horseshoes, and only vaguely saw the backs of a few horses and men, then turned around, saw Mu Jue took out a new book, yawned, and walked towards Mu Jue Leaning on his shoulder, he said, "Aren't you sleepy?"

Mu Jue looked down at him, kissed him and said, "Is it cold?"

You Xuan nodded.

Mu Jue closed the book, spread his arms around You Xuan, and said a word, but just so happened, a few horses ran past the carriage at high speed, the sound of hooves was loud, and suddenly, the horses in their carriage were startled, Several horses barked a few times in a panic.

The crowing of horses and the sound of hooves were intertwined, completely overshadowing Mu Jue's voice.

Mu Jue frowned slightly.

You Xuan raised his head and looked out of the car window, saying, "You run really fast."

Mu Jue half closed the car window and said, "There is still plenty of time. If you don't want to take the waterway, just follow the road. You will be able to reach Lengzhou in about half a month."

You Xuan shook his head and said, "It's still rare to go by boat."

Mu Jue said, "Okay."

The two leaned together and talked for more than an hour, You Xuan was a little sleepy, so he fell asleep for a while.

After waking up, You Xuan felt a headache.

The carriage had already stopped, parked next to a tea shed, You Xuan sat up and took a rest, got a headache and was very thirsty, so he got out of the carriage, Mu Jue just came back with a teapot, You Xuan walked back and said: "I'm a little thirsty."

Mu Jue walked into the carriage, poured tea for him, and said, "Your face is not right."

You Xuan drank from the teacup, and said after a while: "...I have a headache."

Mu Jue frowned, reached out and touched You Xuan's forehead, his expression changed: "You are sick."

You Xuan finished drinking the water, drank another cup, picked up the quilt that had been covered for two days, and just re-covered it, suddenly felt like vomiting again.

After drinking water, I am not thirsty anymore, but feel like vomiting faintly.

Mu Jue stared at him for a while, his eyes full of distress, before saying after a while, "Go to the doctor first."

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for You Xuan's answer, Mu Jue turned around and got out of the carriage, and came back after a while, and not long after that, the carriage started to drive forward again.

-

evening.

Phoenix Sea City, Mu Mansion.

A few thin and tall men sat on the horse, looking at the plaque of the Mu Mansion, "The Mu Mansion is here, let's go, before the Xinwang Mansion hears the news..."

"Yes."

Several people got off their horses and walked over to knock on the door.
