After Mu Yunhan finished taking a bath, he leaned on the couch to dry his hair and read his account books, waiting for Gu Fenglin to return home.
Jinxiu walked in quickly: "Qingfeng brought news from the old house."
Qingfeng stood in the corridor and replied: "I just got the news that Master Jiu has driven away many people in the house, most of whom have dealings with us."
The elimination of dissidents has begun.
Mu Yunhan was mentally prepared: "Go on."
"Elder Wu broke into the meeting hall and seemed to have a dispute with Master Jiu. He was very unhappy when he left. Now he went to the priest's palace."
Mu Yunhan sat up and said, "Get the car ready immediately, I want to go out."
She probably knew the ins and outs of the matter, and Elder Wu must have been blaming Gu Yilan for concealing it.
She had to take advantage of this opportunity to win over Elder Wu.
To put it bluntly, even if he couldn't win over him, he wouldn't be able to become Gu Yilan's weapon against them.
The priest's mansion still looked eerie.
The only difference is that in the past, lanterns were always hung on Wangchun Tower, but tonight, there are no lanterns anymore.
Therefore, it appears darker.
The servant who led the way led Mu Yunhan downstairs and said helplessly: "The elder is in a bad mood. He said not to disturb me. The younger one dare not knock on the door, otherwise he will beat someone when he is angry."
Anyone with high kung fu skills always has a temper.
Mu Yunhan ordered his servants to step back, knocked on the door and said, "Elder, it's me, Mu Yunhan."
At the same time, she winked.
Xiao Mi and Mu Li jumped up and fired their crossbow arrows into the building.
A crossbow arrow shot into the third floor and was thrown out again.
Mu Yunhan ran towards the third floor and pushed open the door: "Elder!"
The room was dark, and there was no light.
Mu Yunhan blew up the fire and saw Elder Wu sitting alone in front of the window where Gu Yilan used to sit most, with his back to her, motionless, and his back became more and more stooped.
Xiaomi handed over the candlestick, and Mu Yunhan held the candlestick and walked slowly behind him and sat down: "Elder."
There was a pot of wine and a cup in front of Elder Wu, but there were no appetizers.
He looked out the window and occasionally took a sip of wine. Although he didn't speak, he was still calm.
Mu Yunhan didn't say anything and sat quietly with him.
After a long time, Elder Wu said: "Don't worry, I won't help him harm you."
Mu Yunhan said: "Then can you come over and help me?"
Elder Wu shook his head: "I'm sorry, I won't help anyone. Although according to the rules of the clan and the Presbyterian Council, I should protect the priest and obey the priest's orders.
But, you also know that I can’t bear to attack Master Jiu, as it will ruin your affairs, so let’s leave it at that.”
Mu Yunhan didn't force it and asked another question: "Can you tell me about Alin?"
Elder Wu smiled: "You are really loyal to him. You want to know about the fire in the past. He was not the one who started the fire."
"Regarding those rumors, there is no smoke without smoke. Mrs. Jing is the eldest lady's personal maid. She has grown up with the eldest lady since she was a child and has a close relationship with her sisters.
The eldest lady was in excellent health when she was a child, and was considered a rare beauty among the Gu family women. The old man always said that she was very talented and very rare, but it was a pity that she was not a man.
Otherwise, even if you can't become a priest, you will definitely become a general and become a minister, and you will honor your ancestors. Therefore, the eldest lady grew up being pampered by thousands of people.
The people who said they were close to each other had almost crossed the threshold, but the old man just refused to accept it, and he often quarreled with the old lady because of this."
