Lan Xi knelt for twelve hours and finally passed out in Mu Qingyang's yard. He carefully carried his daughter into the house. Seeing his favorite daughter unconscious, he felt really uncomfortable.
He cherishes Lan Xi. She is the most well-behaved and obedient among his daughters. She is Mu Qingyang's pride. Now that he sees his daughter lying on the bed with a gloomy face, he cannot tell how distressed he is. Thinking of her filial piety makes him even more sad.
It feels like my chest is blocked.
"Dad..." Lan Xi woke up faintly and saw Mu Qingyang beside her, a look of grievance suddenly appeared on her cheeks, "Dad..."
She should be aggrieved. Her father, who always loved her the most, had the heart to let her kneel down for twelve hours. Although she was a concubine, no one in the Mu family knew that her father loved this daughter the most. On weekdays,
Her father was reluctant to even say a harsh word to her, but this time he was hard-hearted and turned a blind eye to her.
"Okay, just wake up. The doctor said you have cold wind in your body and you need to take a good rest for a few days." Mu Qingyang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her waking up.
"Dad, aunt..." Lan Xi mentioned the Lin family immediately. Mu Qingyang's expression changed, she stepped back coldly, and cut off her words, "If you are not feeling well, just stay in the house to recuperate.
, don’t go anywhere, especially the darkroom. If you let me know where you went, she will never come out."
He was doting on his daughter, but he couldn't help her challenging his authority. He was silent for a while and said, "Don't get involved in your aunt's affairs. Just take good care of her health."
"Dad..." Seeing Mu Qingyang turn around and leave, Lan Xi quickly lifted the quilt and got out of bed. However, her whole body was limp and powerless, and she fell to the ground. She couldn't help but cry out in pain.
"Lan Xi..." Mu Qingyang quickly helped her back to the bed, with a hint of anxiety in her voice, "What's wrong with you, girl? Don't you know you're sick? What are you doing?"
Lan Xi knew that Mu Qingyang still felt sorry for her, and she felt a little relieved, but the sadness and grievance on her face did not diminish at all. She sniffed her nose, tears slowly flowed down, and she looked pitiful:
"Dad loves his daughter, but doesn't he also feel sorry for his aunt? My aunt has sacrificed so much for my father and this family, so why would my father lock my aunt in the darkroom so cruelly? Last year, the Tongfang who was locked in the darkroom by my father died in just three days.
Yes, does dad still remember? My daughter feels uncomfortable knowing that dad just lost his child. Isn’t dad afraid of losing another family member?"
Her words struck a chord in Mu Qingyang's heart. He felt sorry for Xia's loss of her child and wanted to avenge her. The reason why Lin was imprisoned was more because he wanted to give Xia an explanation. In fact, he also knew that she was not to blame for what happened to the child.
First of all, the so-called ignorant person is not guilty. After all, she did not intend to harm Xia's child.
"Dad, my daughter has to say something disrespectful. Even if my aunt is at fault, it is because of my father's habit. My aunt is in charge of the backyard. Wherever a bowl of water can be leveled, she always has some means to exert pressure. Dad never said it before, but now
Why bother bringing up old scores?" Lan Xi cried softly, even though she felt unfair for the Lin family, she was still gentle and soft.
Mu Qingyang was speechless for a moment. He just felt that Lan Xi's words had hit the target, and his face quickly became hot.
"I will consider your aunt's matter carefully. You should have a good rest." After saying that, Mu Qingyang left Lan Xi's room as if fleeing.
Lan Xi raised the corner of her mouth slightly, her eyes flashed with a sarcastic smile, "Mom, I tried my best, the rest is up to you."
After saying that, she closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully, as if the one who cried miserably and sadly just now was not her at all.
On the other side, after listening to Lan Xi's words, Mu Qingyang returned to the study in a daze. He actually knew that he was venting his anger on Mrs. Lin. Even if she had done something unbearable to Mr. Xia, it was in the past.
However, the loss of his child severely blocked his chest, making him unable to breathe.
"Sir, Luo Shao wants to see you." The butler's voice came from outside the door. Mu Qingyang took a deep breath, temporarily put the family affairs behind her mind, and solemnly ordered him to come in.
A man in a turquoise robe walked in. His handsome features were quite scholarly, but if you look closely, you will find that there is shrewdness between his eyebrows. He is definitely a figure not to be underestimated.
"Master, it has been confirmed that it was the Lin family who smeared our rice shop before. I am afraid that the second lady... also knows about this." Luo Shao groaned, not paying attention to Mu Qingyang's downcast face, and continued, "Also,
, I heard that there was a problem with the Lin family's business and they were short of a large amount of funds. Later, someone filled the gap for them. After my subordinates ordered people to investigate, they found that the money... came from the Mu Mansion."
No need for Luo Shao to say anything else, Mu Qingyang already understood what he meant. The Mu family would pay to make up for the losses in the Lin family's business. Who else would it be besides Lin Ruyu?
"How is the investigation of one more thing?" Mu Qingyang's face was dark, and there was a chill in his eyes. He could tolerate a woman making trouble in the house, but he couldn't tolerate a woman reaching out to his business. This was very important to him.
It's a humiliation.
Luo Shao hesitated slightly, and there was a tangled look on Sven's face.
"It doesn't matter, just tell me." Mu Qingyang felt suspicious in her heart and waved her hand for Luo Shao to continue.
"The silk we sell has always been sent by Jiangnan Silk Weaving Factory, but since the beginning of this year, there has been a sudden increase in silk sent by a weaving shop called 'Ruyi Fang'. Their silk seems to be of good quality at first glance, but
But it fades easily. After my subordinates sent someone to sneak into Ruyifang secretly, they discovered that their dyes and fabrics were second-rate, but they were sold to us at the price of first-rate." Luo Shao raised his eyes carefully and looked at Mu Qing.
Yang, seeing his deep frown, continued: "If it hadn't rained heavily during the delivery this time, a large amount of silk was soaked, and some of the colors were dyed, we might not have discovered it."
Mu's silk business has always had a good reputation. Their supply of goods is of high quality, and most of the people who buy their silk are rich and powerful. Fortunately, this discovery was made in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
"Who is responsible for purchasing the goods?" Mu Qingyang asked coldly.
"It's... the second lady's distant relative. The manager said that the second lady specially sent someone to send him a message to find a job for her distant relative. We also found out that the owner of Ruyifang is the master's brother-in-law Lin Youzhi.
"As soon as he finished speaking, the bookshelf on the desk fell hard to the ground. Mu Qingyang's whole body was shaking with anger. Luo Shao quickly frowned and tried to persuade him, "Master, don't be angry yet. Maybe the second lady doesn't know these things."
"Don't know? Wouldn't she know?" Mu Qingyang sneered. He had always known that Lin was secretly helping her brother Lin Youzhi. He thought it was not an exaggeration to help his parents' family, so he turned a blind eye.
, who would have expected that she would be so greedy, it is really chilling.
Luo Shao looked away expressionlessly. He had always been a smart man and knew that he should not and could not intervene at this time.
