Chapter 214
Mu Liuyun and Yuan Mu didn't know what the so-called "old rules" were, but Mrs. Wu was clearly aware of them.

Her complexion suddenly darkened, and she glared at those people angrily: "I have always been the one to make decisions about matters related to the backyard in this family. When will it be your turn to do it for you?"

The leader of the mustache smiled disdainfully: "The concubine who wanted to escape from the mansion in the past was always handed down by the master himself. According to the master's method, this kind of little hoof has to be handled according to the old rules. !"

After he finished speaking, several other people also sang together. The woman who was detained by them was ashamed, and her whole body was shaking like sifting chaff. She was almost fainted, and her eyes were full of begging for Mrs. Wu Obviously, the second lady in charge of backyard affairs is her last hope for survival.

As an outsider, Mu Liuyun can only sit in the classroom and watch all this with cold eyes at the moment, but she is indeed very familiar with the desperate eyes of the woman being detained. It was just like that before she bought it, as if the sky was about to collapse in front of her.

So it seems that one can guess what the so-called "old rules" are.

Mrs. Wu probably didn't expect that those few people would show such an arrogant attitude today, she was slightly taken aback, and then said: "Master is no longer here, if you have to obey his orders in everything, why don't you just go down and ask him?" Just ask him! Everything in this family is up to me now, do you dare not listen?!"

Her pretty face was already showing a ferocious expression, but those few people didn't buy it at all, the mustache snorted coldly, and echoed: "The second lady has already started to take the rules of the master as wind." Is it? I don't think we are going to go down and ask the master what he means, but the second lady should go down and explain to the master!"

As he said this, a person behind him had already started to clenched his fist, cracked his fingers, and looked at the second lady provocatively.

Although the second lady could hold back her majesty, she was just a woman after all, and she probably didn't expect those people to be so arrogant and domineering. They didn't take her seriously at all, and even threatened her, and they panicked for a while.

Mu Liuyun can't sit still anymore. What she dislikes the most is bullying others, especially men relying on their own strength to bully weak girls.

Listening to their conversation just now, the woman being detained should be one of the women in Wu Rongzhi's backyard. Judging from the decent clothes on her body, she should be a concubine. Although I don't know what the so-called old rules of the Wu family are, But it's obviously a terrible thing, otherwise it wouldn't scare this concubine into that.

Most importantly, looking at the attitude of Mrs. Wu, it seems that she doesn't want those servants to use the "old rules" to punish the concubine who tried to escape, and her attitude towards the concubine is clearly protective.

Now these diabolical slaves have made it clear that they are bullying Mrs. Wu who has just lost her husband and brought a yard full of women and other people without anyone to support her. I can't bear it either.

"Ahem!" Mu Liuyun cleared his throat loudly, as if he wanted to speak.

As soon as Jiang Jin heard this, she knew that she couldn't sit still anymore, frowned slightly, and looked at Mu Liuyun helplessly.

On the other hand, Yuan Mu sat there drinking tea without any reaction, only raised his eyes to look at the servant-like Diao Nu, and then looked away contemptuously, as if he didn't take it seriously.

Mrs. Wu heard the sound of Mu Liuyun clearing his throat, and the servants did the same. They all looked over in unison, and Mu Liuyun put the teacup in his hand aside. , brushed the hem of his clothes, stood up, and looked at those people carelessly.

"I, Da Rui, have always ruled people with benevolence and prohibited lynching. I don't know what are the 'old rules' in Mr. Wu's family, which can scare such a beautiful young woman into a pale face?" She said while turning to that The woman who was escorted by several strong men took a few steps beside her, looked at the woman's appearance carefully, with a look of pity and pity, "It's really a crime!"

"Who are you?" Little Beard didn't expect a nosy person to appear suddenly, and seeing that Mu Liuyun didn't look too aggressive, he gave her an annoyed look, took a step to the side, and stood in her way. Between the woman and the woman, "The housework in the inner courtyard of the Wu family, outsiders should not interrupt here!"

"Oh? Housework?" Mu Liuyun smiled, turned around and asked Mrs. Wu, "It seems that I am being abrupt? Dare I ask Mrs. Second, these are the slaves of your Wu family? Madam's hands?"

Mrs. Wu was full of resistance to the arrival of Mu Liuyun and the others before, but such an episode happened suddenly, just when she was threatened by the mustache, and she was panicking, Mu Liuyun opened her mouth and made it clear. She was not so indiscriminate when it came to her own appearance, she quickly shook her head: "These people are not slaves of the family, and they have no legal status.

They were originally yamen servants in the county yamen. When the master was alive, the backyard was not very peaceful and some things happened, so they were called to the house to work as guards, but they were assigned to the yamen. firewood money. "

Yo?He's actually a famous government servant in Yuyong County?Wouldn't this matter be easier to handle?

When Mu Liuyun heard this, his smile became stronger and his heart became more confident.

If these people are all the servants of the Wu family, then this matter is really not easy to handle. After all, it is difficult for an upright official to decide on housework. Not to mention that she is only promoted from the sixth rank of the criminal department, it is Yuan Mu who is the criminal. It is impossible for the officer to stretch his hands too long into other people's backyards.

But since these people are yamen servants in the yamen, it's justifiable for them to take care of this matter!

"It turned out to be the clerk of the Yuyong County Government." Mu Liuyun looked at those people, "Now that the county magistrate has passed away, all the previously delegated matters can be cancelled, especially those related to the wives and concubines in the inner house. matter.

The new county magistrate has not had time to be appointed, there are no more officials in the yamen, it is the most hectic time, several people do not go back to report, waiting to welcome the new county magistrate, what is Lai doing here?
Could it be that the second lady thinks that these people are good candidates for nursing homes, and wants to dig them out of the yamen? "
