It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 257 Don't dare to provoke
Mu Liuyun felt extremely astonished when he saw the little girl running away from her face shyly, and turned her head to look innocently at Yuan Mu: "My lord...you saw it clearly just now, right? I just came out In terms of etiquette, I just want to say thank you to that little maid, even if I smile a little bit, that... that is due to my personality, I have never done anything that would lead to misunderstanding! That little maid blushed or something, I didn't deliberately provoke it!"

Yuan Mu also noticed something wrong with the little girl's eyes and expression on Mu Liuyun when she left. He also sized up Mu Liuyun and nodded: "It's really innocent to push the official, what about that?" The little maid has seen a lot of Wu Rongzhi and his like in the Wu family's house, so her vision is too low. She can't help but see a man who pushes the official like a spring moon willow, and his appearance is like a morning glow. It is indeed her fault that she lost her composure for a while. "

Mu Liuyun was startled, then looked at Yuan Mu, saw the narrowness hidden in his eyes, and realized that he was deliberately teasing himself.

Okay, just make fun of it, anyway, people say this from the perspective of understanding themselves, it's better than inexplicably teaching yourself not to be confused outside, and it's better to provoke little girls and troubles.

The two of them went to have lunch with the little maid who led the way far ahead. The second lady asked the cook to prepare a table of sumptuous meals. The cook probably also made up her mind to show herself well and let the two officials treat her well. I have a better impression, so as not to be involved in anything in the future, so every dish is indeed full of color, flavor and taste, and looks very appetizing.

"My lords have worked hard for our family's affairs! Now it's a mess outside, and restaurants and restaurants will most likely not be open. I have prepared a few small dishes at home. Please have a light meal here, my lords." Bar!"

The second lady politely greeted the two of them to sit down, but she stood aside. She is not a newly widowed person, and she strictly abides by the rules that it is inconvenient to eat at the same table with outside men: "There is a lot of food prepared in the kitchen. After a while, those men who went out on errands came back, and they can also eat something warm."

Yuan Mu thanked Mrs. Wu, and didn't start eating right away. Instead, she asked Mrs. Wu about her former owner mentioned by Qiniang just now: "Please stay a little longer, Mrs. Jia. Are you familiar with Yingcai?"

"Jia Yingcai?" Mrs. Wu frowned when she heard the name, "It's not familiar, but I know it. Jia Yingcai, like Wu Rongzhi, is a wealthy native of Yuyong County. He has a wealthy family and is domineering. Well, before Wu Rongzhi developed, Wu and Jia were somewhat at odds.

Later, when Wu Rongzhi became the county magistrate, Jia Yingcai did not agree with him at first and was not very convinced, but later his arms could not hold back his thighs. He also came to the house before, but it was relatively rare, and his relationship with Wu Rongzhi was never close. "

"You mean Jia Yingcai is an out-and-out local? He doesn't have any outgoing background?" Mu Liuyun asked.

Mrs. Wu shook her head, with a slightly confused expression: "It is true that I have never heard that the Jia family has any relatives from other places. I wonder what the two adults are asking about this matter?"

"It's nothing, I just heard Qiniang say that she was given to Wu Rongzhi by Jia Yingcai, so I asked casually." Mu Liuyun said.

"Qiniang was indeed given to Wu Rongzhi by Jia Yingcai," Mrs. Wu nodded, with a trace of disgust flashing across her face, and her tone was a little more contemptuous. Put your mind to those things.

Jia Yingcai's family originally ran some businesses in Yuyong County besides the farm, but after Wu Rongzhi became the county magistrate, they gradually couldn't continue to operate. Maybe they want Wu Rongzhi to let go. "

"After Qiniang was carried in, did Wu Rongzhi let Jia Yingcai relax?"

"No, you underestimate Wu Rongzhi too much, how can he be such a loyal person!" Mrs. Wu said with a sneer, "He accepts all the benefits offered by others, but I want him to share some of the benefits with others. , that is absolutely impossible."

"By the way, there is one more thing." Mu Liuyun felt that regarding Jia Yingcai's matter, it would be enough to ask Mrs. Wu to this extent, and then asked, "Dare to ask Mrs. Wu, Shi Tianxia is Wu Rongzhi's property? "

"Shi Tianxia?" Mrs. Wu shook her head when she heard her ask this, "Shi Tianxia is not Wu Rongzhi's property. The boss over there is very mysterious and rarely shows up. Their own restaurants and restaurants are much bigger, but they seem to be a little afraid of them, and have never dared to provoke them.

Wu Rongzhi controls all kinds of rice, grain and meat in Yuyong County, but he has never dared to limit what Shi Tianxia wants to buy.

I don't know why this happened. Wu Rongzhi didn't want to bring up outside matters when he returned home, and I could only hear some clues in the few words he said with outsiders on weekdays. "

After Mrs. Wu said this, Mu Liuyun and Yuan Mu didn't continue to ask her. After thanking her, they sat down to eat. After a while, Yuan Jia and the others also came back from the street, and they were also invited by Mrs. Wu to eat and prepare for them. meals.

These people are fast eaters, and they are full in a short time. After that, they don't plan to stay in Wu's house. After all, the yard is full of Wu Rongzhi's wives, wives and concubines. "...

Cough, anyway, there is no need to stay longer, after all, they will leave Yuyong County soon after finishing these things, but the women in this yard will still live here in the future, so it is better not to cause trouble to others.

Mrs. Wu insisted on bringing a few maidservants with her, and sent them to the gate. Yuan Mu stopped and signaled them to stop. By the way, she told Mrs. Wu to keep Qiniang at home carefully, and not to let her go out at will, let alone Let outsiders contact her, and if there is anything abnormal, you can immediately send someone to report to them.

Second Madam Wu cautiously agreed, and she was smart enough not to ask any more questions, she just sent them to the door so respectfully, and didn't turn back until Yuan Mu and his party had gone a long way.

Because the route that Yuan Jia took those prison carts through the streets took the county government as the axis, so the people outside were also drawn there, and the walk from Wu's house to the inn seemed a bit deserted.

After walking about halfway, Mu Liuyun suddenly heard someone shouting "Master—Master—" from far behind him.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw a purple figure chasing towards him quickly.
