In the following days, earth-shaking changes took place in Mu Mansion.
Hongjing was still imprisoned in Beiyuan. Lin went to beg Mu Qingyang every day, but he showed no mercy, especially when he knew that Qinghefang had been taken away and everyone in Linyang City knew that the young master of Mu Mansion had lost money. He was even beaten and sent back to the Mu Mansion. He was so angry that he didn't even see Mrs. Lin. In the end, he simply confined her in the backyard and did not allow her to appear in front of him.
It was always disgraceful for Lan Xi to be divorced before she even had the hairpin. The Mu family announced that Lan Xi would marry Shen Yi after she had the hairpin. This was regarded as consummating the engagement between the Shen and Mu families. The child developed a relationship early, so Lan Xi was allowed to move into Shen's Mansion in advance.
However, the fact that Lan Xi and Shen Yi were caught and raped in bed was seen by so many people, and it was eventually known to outsiders. Everyone knew very well why the second young lady of Mu Mansion moved into Shen Mansion so early. It’s inconvenient to explain.
There is another rumor circulating in Linyang City, saying that Mr. Shen has been in love with the eldest daughter of the Mu Mansion for many days. The concubine of the Mu Mansion expressed her love as a sister before the eldest daughter avoided Mr. Shen. Now Mu The concubine got her wish, but Shen Yi and Mu Liuyun were torn apart.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar. They were quite disdainful of the behavior of the concubine of the Mu family. They even supported Mr. Shen in continuing to ask for Miss Mu to be his wife. No one knew who was being advantaged and who was belittled by this public opinion.
Liuyun lived her little life calmly. Lan Xi had gone to Shen's Mansion, and she was much cleaner. Lin was guarding Hongjing every day, but he didn't hang around her. As for things in the mansion, Xin The mistress was also very quick to take action, and Mrs. Xia continued to rest in Moyuan, while Mrs. Jiang raised her baby with peace of mind.
Mu Mansion seemed to have returned to its former peace, but the more peaceful it became, the more uneasiness surged in Liu Yun's heart.
The calm before the storm is the most frightening thing.
As expected, just a few days after September, something happened in Mu Mansion. Magistrate Shen brought officers and soldiers to Mu Mansion, saying that there was illegal salt hidden in the goods of Mu Mansion, and wanted to take Mr. Mu back to the Yamen for interrogation. He and Mu Qing Yang was an old acquaintance, and in the end he just took the man away and promised the old lady that he would find out the truth.
After the incident, Mrs. Mu immediately sent someone to look for Luo Shao. If Mu's freight was really transporting illegal salt, it would be a serious crime. If the quantity was extremely large, it would be a capital crime, and it would even involve his family.
"What's going on? Mu's Freight has never been involved in these smuggled shipments, so why was it found to be transporting smuggled salt?" Mrs. Mu used to be in charge of Mu's shop, so she naturally understands Mu's operations.
"I'm afraid this matter has been framed." Luo Shao murmured, "Originally, Mu's freight only escorted our own goods. The master has always been cautious, and every time he escorted the goods, he would send a close relative to accompany him. This time, he will not Exception. I asked that person, and he said that this time my luck was very short, so there is no reason why I would be replaced, and it is impossible for any personal secrets to leak out."
Mrs. Mu also thought that she was being framed. Mu had been in the shopping mall for many years, so she had seen many of these little tricks. However, transporting illegal salt was a serious crime and should not be underestimated.
"Shi Yao, I'm afraid I need you to go back and mention it to your father this time to see if he can find any clues. I believe Qingyang is a good person. Our Mu family has a great cause and he will never do it for small benefits. And taking risks out of desperation." Mrs. Mu's calm look gave everyone great confidence.
Yu Shiyao has known Mu Qingyang for so long, so she naturally understands his character. He has never been one of those greedy people, and someone may have framed this incident.
"Don't worry, mother, my wife will go back soon." Her father is the supervisory censor. He also admires Mu Qingyang's business skills very much. She believes that her father also believes in her son-in-law like she does. He is definitely not one of those adulterers.
A person who violates the law.
Half an hour later, Luo Shao appeared in Liuyun's Li Pavilion. Zi Qian secretly sent someone to guard the door, and would come in to notify anyone if he approached.
"Have you found out who did it?" Liu Yun sat calmly on the collapse, holding a fragrant osmanthus tea in his hand, "Could it be an enemy in Mu's shopping mall?"
"There are always some rivals in the shopping mall, but those people know how to taboo the relationship between the Mu family and the government. This incident... seems to be a government conspiracy." Luo Shao didn't say much to the old lady in the study just now.
Firstly, these are just his guesses, and secondly, he doesn't want to alert others.
"Government cheating?" Liu Yun once again suspected that he was in love with Yu Shiyao, but thinking about it carefully, it didn't make sense. If Hongjing's incident made her bring down the Lin family and the eldest son last time, then this time it would make her
What's the benefit?
"The eldest lady has someone to suspect?" Luo Shao was a shrewd person, and he guessed as soon as he saw Liu Yun's thoughtful look.
Liu Yun never concealed anything from him, but this time she shook her head firmly. Her guess was groundless and based solely on feeling, which was the most unreliable. She didn't want to blur Luo Shao's focus.
.
"What are you going to do?" Luo Shao has been with her father for many years. Naturally, there should be emergency measures at this time.
"Murong Villa." Luo Shao's eyes flashed slightly, and he glanced over, "The only plan now is to ask for help from Murong Villa. This time the matter is different from the past. If you want to clear your name, you must find someone who is beneficial to the Mu family.
On the other hand, someone still needs to start from above to provide evidence to the master."
Whether it's officialdom or shopping malls, it's all the same. As long as there is a conflict of interest, there will be conspiracies and intrigues. It's common for the Mu family tree to attract trouble and be plotted by others.
"No, I'm going to find Qin Yi." Liu Yun made a decision quickly. She gave the promise Murong Villa gave her to her father, and her father used this promise to build a barrier for Mu's protection. She couldn't do it unless she had to.
This barrier will disappear.
"Miss..." Luo Shao frowned in disapproval.
"Don't worry, I have some friendship with Qin Yi. I just asked him to help me save my father, not the Mu family." Liu Yun smiled playfully, and a light flashed in his eyes.
Luo Shao immediately understood that the eldest lady was just playing a word game. Saving the master meant saving the Mu family. Taking ten thousand steps back, as long as the master came back, the master would definitely find a way to let the Mu family escape.
"Then let's split up. You continue to track down the goods, and I'll go find Qin Yi for help." After Liu Yun finished speaking, he got up and prepared to change clothes and go out.
Luo Shao couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Liu Yun's unceremonious eviction order. He just admired the young lady's cheerful temperament. If she was the kind of young lady who spoke falsely and truthfully, he would definitely have no interest in making friends with her.
With this thought in mind, he left Li Pavilion. He had more important things to do.
"Ah...who are you...why are you in our eldest lady's room?" Qianlan opened the door and saw a black shadow jumping into the room from outside the window. She grabbed the vase at hand and threw it away.
.
"..." The black shadow was stunned for a moment, then stretched out her hand to catch the vase that flew over. When she looked up again, what she saw was a little girl who couldn't stand still and threw herself to the ground. She was about to be intimate with the ground.
Upon contact, his brows moved slightly, and his other hand reached out to gently grab the person into his arms.
"Ah...where are you touching me?" Qianlan, who was still in shock, shouted again, her eyes fell directly on her chest, and a big palm covered her chest. Isn't this the one-handed control that the young lady said?
"..." The black shadow was frightened and let go, and the little girl fell straight to the ground, her beautiful features tangled together in pain.
"Hahahahahahaha..." Liuyun's unkind laughter came from the edge of the screen. Of course, the target of her schadenfreude was definitely not her maid, but the black shadow that suddenly appeared in her room.
