When Mu Yunmeng heard Xi Honglei calling her son obediently, she suddenly had a bad feeling.
Mu Yunmeng stood up with a dark face, walked up to Xi Honglei, and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"
"I'll take you to listen to the story, young master. Let's go." Xi Honglei raised her face, smiled at Mu Yunmeng, took Mu Yunmeng's arm, and walked towards the door.
"What story? Can you take me with you?" Shukuang followed up and looked at the two of them curiously and asked.
"Young Master, do you want to take him with you?" Xi Honglei glanced at Shu Kuang with a look of disdain, as if Mu Yunmeng was talking about it.
It had been a long time since Mu Yunmeng had seen Xi Honglei be so well-behaved, so he was happy to accompany her in this scene. Looking at Shu Kuang with cold eyes, Mu Yunmeng nodded lightly and said in a calm tone: "Follow me."
Shukuang watched the two people singing along, dumbfounded. Following the two of them, he entered another room. Shukuang looked at Yuan Ruobing in the room, curious.
"Miss Ruobing, I have brought my young master here." Xi Honglei said to Shukuang with a smile on his lips: "If you have anything to say, just tell him."
Yuan Ruobing stared at Mu Yunmeng intently, looking at Mu Yunmeng wearing a white shirt, a jade belt around his waist, and an ivory folding fan in his hand. Yuan Ruobing lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly strode up to Mu Yunmeng, ready to play.
kneel.
Seeing Yuan Ruobing's behavior, Xi Honglei quickly stopped her. "Girl, my young master is away from home. He doesn't need this, and he doesn't want others to know his identity. You don't need to pay such a big courtesy. Let's all sit down and talk."
After saying that, Xi Honglei looked back at Mu Yunmeng, winked at him, and asked, "Master, do you think so?"
Mu Yunmeng frowned slightly, seeing Yuan Ruobing trying to kneel down to him, he couldn't help but wonder what this little girl Xi Honglei had said to Yuan Ruobing.
Mu Yunmeng nodded and sat down, brushing his clothes. Yuan Ruobing stood stiffly in the middle of the room. After Xi Honglei's repeated persuasion, he awkwardly sat down on the chair, bowed his head and said nothing.
"Miss Ruobing, what do you want to tell me? Please tell me." Mu Yunmeng leaned on the back of the chair, adjusted a comfortable position, and was ready to listen to the so-called "story" from Xi Honglei.
Yuan Ruobing raised his eyes, glanced at Mu Yunmeng, and quickly lowered his head. After a while, he slowly said: "My name is Yuan Ruobing, and I have known each other since childhood. The four of us are
Orphans, because they had no food or clothing when they were young, they would often steal things. Later, the head of the town’s escort agency couldn’t stand it anymore, so he adopted the four of us and asked us to do odd jobs in his agency.
Food, clothing and shelter.”
Yuan Ruobing recalled that experience when she was a child, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth involuntarily. "Although Master has always been very strict with us, the four of us like him very much. He gave us all our kung fu.
When I grew up, I started to follow him out to transport escorts. He said that when he gets old, the escort agency will leave the four of us. He doesn’t want to see the four of us wandering outside without a fixed place. He doesn’t want to
Let us do those sneaky things again. He also said that when he makes enough money, he will prepare a dowry for us..."
As Yuan Ruobing was talking, he suddenly stopped. Raising his head, Yuan Ruobing looked at Mu Yunmeng gloomily and said, "If it weren't for Li Mingyang, we wouldn't be reduced to being bandits today. Li Mingyang is a beast with a human face and a beast's heart.
On the surface, he is a good official in the hearts of the people, but secretly, he is a corrupt official who does all kinds of evil! He accidentally took a fancy to the four of us sisters, and told the master that he wanted to marry us as concubines. The master naturally disagreed, and later
There was no movement from Li Mingyang, and we all thought that this matter was over. But who knew..."
Yuan Ruobing's eyes trembled, and his expression changed. "Li Mingyang did not let go easily. Instead, he secretly sent someone to snatch us four sisters back to be his concubines. The entire escort agency, in order to protect us,
, were all killed by Li Mingyang’s people. The four of us were driven out of the escort agency by our master, but we survived, but he died miserably on the street."
"Why are you so sure that those people were sent by Li Mingyang?" After listening to Yuan Ruobing's words, Mu Yunmeng asked: "Did you go to see Li Mingyang later?"
"Li Mingyang has always been protected by experts. If we go there, we can't come back. At first we didn't know that Li Mingyang did it, but then by chance, we found someone passing by with an escort at the foot of the mountain, and we wanted to rob him.
Then I found out that the person leading the escort was the enemy who killed my master that year!"
"You said that Li Mingyang is a corrupt official who does all kinds of evil. Do you have any evidence?" Mu Yunmeng continued to ask.
"Of course! Half of us in Hongmei Mountain have almost lost their families because of Li Mingyang! Li Mingyang has several copper mines, and he often grabs men from remote villages to work for him as coolies. I
If you know the location of the copper mine, you can go check it out!" Yuan Ruobing was afraid that Mu Yunmeng would not believe his words, so he said excitedly: "I don't need to lie to you. Li Mingyang killed nearly a hundred people in my escort agency, and I must avenge this.
!”
Mu Yunmeng, Xi Honglei and Shu Kuang looked at Yuan Ruobing silently. The three of them could clearly see the sadness in Yuan Ruobing's eyes. Mu Yunmeng and Xi Honglei looked at each other, and Mu Yunmeng sighed softly.
After a breath, Youyou said: "I will investigate this matter. If it is true as you said, I will help you take revenge."
"Really?!" Yuan Ruobing looked at Mu Yunmeng in disbelief, fearing that he would regret it. "You won't lie to me?"
"I have never regretted my promises to others. You can rest assured about this, girl." After Mu Yunmeng gave Yuan Ruobing's guarantee, he glanced at the smiling face with red tears and said, "Since I promised to help
You guys, what about today’s incident...?"
"Since Mr. Ran is willing to help us, we at Hongmei Mountain will never make things difficult for you! We will let Mo Shangli and Li Mingyang's goods go, so don't worry!"
Mr. Ran...?!
When Mu Yunmeng heard Yuan Ruobing say these four words, his eyes immediately sharpened. He frowned and turned to look at Xi Honglei. Mu Yunmeng's eyes flashed with a little cold light, making Xi Honglei hold his breath and dare not raise his voice.
Take a breath, wishing you could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
When Yuan Ruobing saw the expressions of Mu Yunmeng and Xi Honglei, he thought it was Mu Yunmeng who revealed his identity to him and was unhappy. So he spoke again to help Xi Honglei. "Young master, don't worry.
, I, Yuan Ruobing, promise you that I will never reveal your identity to others!"
Xi Honglei bit her lip, lowered her head, and secretly glanced at Mu Yunmeng's gloomy face. Seeing that Mu Yunmeng's expression never softened, Xi Honglei had no choice but to raise her hand and tug at the corner of his clothes, asking him a flattering question.
Said: "This matter... we can talk about it later, okay?"
"Let's talk later?" Mu Yunmeng raised the corners of her lips with a wicked smile and nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Yuan Ruobing agreed to let Mo Shangli go away from Li Mingyang's things, and Feng Ruosong secretly warned Mo Shangli not to have any contact with Li Mingyang again. After Mo Shangli left, Xi Honglei asked Yuan Ruobing about Li Mingyang's copper mine.
After studying the address with Mu Yunmeng, he assured Yuan Ruobing that he would reply to her within a month. Then, Xi Honglei snatched the fan that Mu Yunmeng had gotten from nowhere and gave it to her.
He took Yuan Ruobing as a token, and then left with Mu Yunmeng and others.
After leaving Hongmei Mountain, Feng Rusong and Shu Kuang's anxious hearts finally fell to the ground. But Xi Honglei, who was sitting in the car, was not so lucky.
Sitting in the corner of the carriage, Xi Honglei looked at Mu Yunmeng tensely without saying a word. Seeing Xi Honglei's vigilant look, Mu Yunmeng did not soften his heart and wanted to let her go. His
She should know what the bottom line is.
Mu Yunmeng sat there with a cold face, silent. Xi Honglei had not seen Mu Yunmeng look so angry for a long time, and after fighting with him for a while, he gave in. Because Xi Honglei understood
, what does the surname Ran mean to Mu Yunmeng.
Slowly rubbing up to Mu Yunmeng's side, Xi Honglei tilted her head, looked at Mu Yunmeng's side face, and asked, "Are you still angry?"
Mu Yunmeng turned her head sideways, met Xi Honglei's eyes, and asked, "What do you think?"
"How can I not be angry?" Xi Honglei had no choice but to coax him patiently. "You say it, and I'll do it."
Mu Yunmeng stared at Xi Honglei motionlessly. After struggling in his heart for a while, Mu Yunmeng sighed heavily, then leaned his head against the car window, not looking at Xi Honglei's face.
Xi Honglei saw that Mu Yunmeng didn't say anything or looked at herself. She didn't know what to do for a moment. Like those women in nightclubs who use their ability to act coquettishly towards men? Xi Honglei said to
Mu Yunmeng couldn't open her mouth no matter what. In the end, she had to prepare to leave again and sit in the corner, waiting for Mu Yunmeng's anger to subside before she could think of a solution.
As soon as Xi Honglei turned around and was about to leave, Mu Yunmeng pulled her body forcefully from behind. Lying down in Mu Yunmeng's arms, Xi Honglei looked at Mu Yunmeng's cold eyes and felt uncomfortable.
Look away.
"Didn't you say you would talk to me about this later? I want to hear how you plan to solve it." Mu Yunmeng repeated what Xi Honglei had said not long ago in front of Yuan Ruobing, "Master Ran, these four
Do you think I, Mu Yun, can bear this?"
Xi Honglei heard the displeasure in Mu Yunmeng's words, and for some reason she suddenly calmed down. Looking into Mu Yunmeng's deep eyes, Xi Honglei asked in a low voice: "Ran Zhi, do you really think that
Can’t you bear it?”
Mu Yunmeng lowered his head, looked at Xi Honglei in his arms, and frowned. Hearing her speak slowly, "Ran is just a word in my eyes. If you really care so much,
, if you think this word can only be tolerated by the royal family of Xuanxuan Kingdom, then I will not mention it in the future. But Mu Yunmeng, I have cut off all escape routes and am with you now. One of the reasons is because
You deserve this word more than anyone else with the surname Ran."
