"Sir, there has just been another commotion over at the Second Miss. Madam is sending someone to look for you and wants you to go and say good things to Princess Protector in person."
In the study room of Chunqiuyuan, Yao Guangzheng spoke to Mu Qingze with lowered eyebrows, not paying any attention to the noisy Aunt Hong outside the door.
Even if the other party is Mrs. Hou's personal person, coming to their Spring and Autumn Courtyard depends on their young master's wishes.
"What is she causing trouble again?"
The slender toilet paper stroked the yellowed pages on the table. Mu Qing's eyebrows were clear and elegant, and he was obviously more interested in the ancient books in his hands than his sister Mu Yao.
In his opinion, the other party has been making trouble since he returned home that day, but it has been going on for so many days, so it should stop.
Besides, what does this have to do with Feng Xi?
"The second young lady said that Princess Protector broke her face, and she won't be able to see anyone in the future, unless you ask the imperial doctor from Princess Protector's Mansion to come and look at her and heal her face."
Yao Guang's voice was calm, but there was unconcealable sarcasm in his lowered eyes.
She felt that Miss Mu Er was spoiled by Mrs. Hou. Otherwise, how could she go crazy because the young master failed to save her that day and felt that they owed her something?
How hard was it to think that you would learn from Feng Xi?
"Cure her face?"
After hearing what Yao Guang said, Mu Qing's hand stroking the pages of the book was also stunned.
Although Feng Xi slapped Mu Yao, the injury on Mu Yao's face was not serious. The real damage was her mouth full of silver teeth.
If the face is really injured, the Qi family's imperial doctor may still be of some use, but that mouth full of teeth...
"Please find out carefully. Did the second young lady want the doctor from the princess's mansion to look at her, or did her mother let her make such a fuss?"
Seeing Mu Qingze frowning, Yao Guang's expression also paused, and then said truthfully:
"The second young lady probably wants to humiliate Dr. Bai and vent her anger for the humiliation she suffered that day. As for Madam..."
"She wants to use my search for Feng Xi to remind me so that I can treat Mu Yao, right?"
Narrowing his long and cold eyes, Mu Qing felt that some people in the Mu family were really stuck in their ways and only knew about the three-thirds of an acre of land in front of them.
Now that the situation in Shengjing is treacherous, what does Mu Yao's minor injury mean?
Therefore, Mu Qing simply stopped talking about the matter, let alone Aunt Hong who was outside at that time, and directly talked about Xie Jiadao:
"The day before yesterday, you thanked the old man for leaving the title to Feng Xi. What about today? How is the situation in the Xie family?"
Yaoguang had already adapted to his son's habit of suddenly changing the subject, and immediately answered:
"There was a commotion the night before."
"oh?"
Knowing that what he said was not detailed enough, Yaoguang added:
"The father and son in the third room of the Xie family have long regarded the title as something in their pocket. The third master and the young master are all called Xie Lian and Xie Lang like this outside. So the father and son had a good time in front of the old man in the past two days. They were making a lot of noise, sometimes speaking fiercely and sometimes crying bitterly. It is said that they could be heard in the courtyard on the other side of the Duke's mansion."
Mu Qingze had already expected the character of the third brother of the Xie family, but what he was more concerned about was the eldest brother of the Xie family.
"The Dafang family seems to have acquiesced to the Third Fang's attitude. Not only did they not stop them, but they also had a faint tendency to help them persuade Mr. Xie. But until an hour ago, the old man was still stubborn."
"Where is the Princess Protector's Mansion?"
After taking a sip of tea, Mu Qingze's face showed no emotion or anger.
"The Princess Protector's Mansion has no involvement."
Although Yao Guang hates Feng Xi, he has always been pragmatic in front of his own son.
In fact, she was also very surprised why Feng Xi didn't express her position for a long time, because no matter how she looked at it, controlling a Duke's mansion for nothing would be a huge benefit to the Princess's mansion.
Especially when Feng Xi broke up with the crown prince and the fourth prince, and detained Shen Ge and Chu Ming.
Could it be that that person's madness has recurred?
Mu Qingze obviously saw this more clearly than Yao Guang, and soon said with great interest:
"What about the four Shen Ge? It's been several days. Are they still locked up in that small courtyard?"
"Back to the young master, whether it's the detailed work we arranged in Dali Temple or the result of Tianji's personal investigation, the four of them have been in the courtyard all the time, and they were even imprisoned in the same room..."
Speaking of this, even Yao Guang, who had seen many storms, found it strange.
She and Tianji were both soldiers trained by the old marquis himself. She was good at martial arts and literature and was very good at disguise. She always followed the young master and took care of him personally.
And her sworn brother Tianji specializes in detecting assassinations. His light skills are unparalleled even in Yunxiao Pavilion, let alone those fake masters in Shengjing.
To put it bluntly, the only person in the princess palace who could catch his sworn brother's eyes and make him feel a little threatened was probably the consort Qi Xiao.
But even this sworn brother, who could mix among the dead men of the prince and the fourth prince at will, and sneak into the small courtyard to find out the news, did not know how Shen Ge and others disappeared every time someone came to the door.
Just last night, the group of dead soldiers opened the room where the four Shen Ge were imprisoned for the third time, but the result was still the same...
"interesting."
A hint of interest flashed across his cold face, and Mu Qingze, who had been listening to Yao Guang's report, finally said:
"It is said that the Shen family has sent someone back to Beijing. The prince must be feeling very uncomfortable right now. If you ask someone to fan him, Shengjing is in chaos now, but it is still not chaotic enough."
"yes."
Returning his gaze to the ancient books in front of the table, Mu Qing's expression was indifferent and his face was cold.
Like the moonlight in the sky, it always appears in the endless darkness.
"Master Chu, do you think there is a spy among the people who came to rescue us, or is there something really weird in this yard..."
"Although I am a scholar, I have never encountered such a thing in these years... It's hard, could it be that ghost breaking the wall..."
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Seeing that Yu Quande and Su Guangwei were cowering and kept saying things that disturbed the morale of the army, Chu Ming finally couldn't bear it anymore and said:
"This is the trick of Feng Xi and Qi Xiao. Otherwise, why would they blindfold us? They are just afraid of us! We can't be afraid of them! Right, General Shen."
Although he said this impassionedly, only he knew that the more he said this, the less confident he felt.
He tried to get Shen Ge's support, but Shen Ge remained silent for a long time.
As the only one among the four who knew martial arts and had good martial arts skills, Shen Ge not only had his hands tied, but his feet were also shackled.
Therefore, he could only sit against the wall, trying to stabilize his body as much as possible so that he would not look too embarrassed to outsiders.
But when he thinks about those weird three nights, he still feels chills running down his spine.
Obviously they were in the room, and he could clearly hear the movements of the dead soldiers who came to rescue them, but why couldn't these dead soldiers see them?
Chu Ming said that those people were tricksters, a trick played by Feng Xi and Qi Xiao...
But he, who had been practicing martial arts since childhood, could tell that these people were taking air-conditioning, and each time they did so he was more and more frightened.
He is afraid, and so are they...
At this moment, Shen Ge regretted as never before, he wanted to go out, he wanted to leave here.
