Mu Yunhan was silent for a moment, then said to Gu Fenglin with a faint smile: "It seems that we will be returning to Beijing soon."
The Shen family is relatively well-informed, so Shen Chen should have reminded them specifically.
Immediately afterwards, Mr. Wu San came to take Wu Chenxi home and expressed his concerns bluntly.
"Last night, two more people died. The way of death was very strange. One died of drunkenness, and the other was strangled to death for abusing a concubine at home.
The previous case has not been solved, and the rumors are very unpleasant. I heard that someone has suggested to Your Majesty that the priest should be invited back to Beijing to use magical powers to find the real culprit."
Master Wu San turned pale, stammered, and tremblingly told the gossip he had finally found out: "Someone suggested that the Queen's eldest brother, Zou Ming, should be in charge of a thorough investigation of the case, but His Majesty rejected it."
In fact, Gu Fenglin had known this news for a long time, but for Mr. Wu San, it definitely took a lot of effort to find out.
And if he didn't really care about them, he wouldn't take the opportunity to take Wu Chenxi home to deliver news to them.
Mu Yunhan and Gu Fenglin felt warm in their hearts.
The political situation is treacherous and unpredictable, and many people are opportunistic and helpless. However, there are also many people who always remember the principles of life and the help others have given them.
After sending Master Wu San and Wu Chenxi away, Mu Yunhan was ready to pack his luggage.
But another guest came, it was Zhou Yifu, and he directly asked to see Mu Yunhan by name.
Zhou Yifu changed back to his old plain jacket and seemed to be in good spirits.
Mu Yunhan asked him to sit down: "It seems that you have made up your mind."
Zhou Yifu said softly: "I have thought about it."
Mu Yunhan said: "How do you choose? Have you asked me clearly what I asked you to inquire about?"
Zhou Yifu smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, why do you need to embarrass me like this? I can't betray my relatives just because of my own selfishness. That would be a beast."
Mu Yunhan smiled slightly: "Then what else are you here for? Are you here to deliver a message for someone?"
Zhou Yifu said: "Madam, please be patient and listen to what I have to say."
He said eloquently: "First of all, I am sincere. You are well-informed, and you may say that young people are uncertain, it is just an impulse, and they will definitely change their minds in the future.
But I know very well what I want, and I also know very well what my morals and responsibilities are as a man.
If I'm not afraid of your anger, in the past you could have thought that I was following someone's influence and wanted to take advantage of you and the Priest Palace's reputation.
But now the situation is critical, and many people are hiding far away. I am also afraid, but I still can't help but come.
You ask me why this is, and I also want to know why.
Second, despite this, I will not betray my innocent relatives just because I want to please you.
People must have a foundation to live in this world, and they are my foundation. As long as they have never done evil, I have to protect them.
Today I can disregard their lives for my own selfish interests, and in the future I will disregard the lives of my wife and children for other interests.
So, madam, I will continue to come because Mu Ying invited me to read the book and she did not drive me away.
The priest has a half-teacher relationship with me, and every time he encouraged me, he did not say that I was not allowed to go to the priest's palace.
If you don't like it, I will try not to let you see me, but I will continue to work hard in my own way unless Mu Ying personally rejects me."
After Zhou Yifu said this, he saluted Mu Yunhan solemnly: "Thank you, madam, for being willing to see me. Say goodbye."
