It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 451
The two turned around and turned back and forth, and finally returned to the front hall of the Prince's Mansion, where an old man with gray hair and a slightly round figure was already sitting there, sipping a teacup leisurely.

Yuan Mu walked over and saluted him respectfully: "Father, you are back!"

Mu Liuyun hurriedly followed him, and behind him also bowed respectfully to Yuan Huai, King of Zhongyong County. By the way, he glanced at him quickly. Definitely a kind person.

Even Fatty Kong, who has a rich face, is much inferior to this old prince. At first glance, this old prince looks like he is indifferent to the world. Even though he hasn't said anything, Mu Liuyun is inexplicably relieved a little.

Seeing his son coming, Yuan Huai quickly waved his hand and pointed to the chair next to him: "How many times have I told you that there is no need to be polite when you and I are at home, otherwise you will be in trouble, and I will accept your courtesy. I still have to hold on to it, and it's really tiring!
As soon as I came back, I heard people say, it's quite strange that you brought guests back, so I'll hurry over and wait for you! "

While talking, he cast his eyes on Mu Liuyun curiously, looked her up and down, saw that Mu Liuyun looked a little reserved, and smiled and said to her: "My son has always been a loner. He is not far or close to others, neither close nor close, and I have never seen him get closer to anyone, this is the first time he has brought friends to the house!"

When Mu Liuyun heard this, he hurriedly bowed again, and said some polite words like "I'm bothering you".

"Hey!" Yuan Huai waved his hand, "It's one thing for you to be friends with my son, but you don't have to follow his strict manners! I'm used to being idle since I was a child, but I gave birth to such a son. , is simply more old-fashioned than me, I feel tired just looking at him, don't you want to learn from him!"

Mu Liuyun couldn't help laughing, pursed his lips and nodded in agreement, and then sat down beside Yuan Mu.

"Father, this is Mu Liuyun. He is a great talent I specially recruited from Jiangzhou Prefecture to the Criminal Division. He has the ability to conduct autopsies and investigate cases. He has extraordinary skills. After he arrives at the Criminal Division, he will follow me to Yanzhou , went to Songzhou, and helped a lot along the way.

My father should have received my previous family letter, and he must have known about the murder case of Wu Rongzhi, the former county magistrate of Yuyong County.

It can be said that in the Criminal Prosecution Division, Officer Mu Tui is my right-hand man. "

Mu Liuyun sneaked a glance at Yuan Mu in surprise. She was apprehensive and nervous at first. She didn't know how Yuan Mu planned to introduce herself to the old prince, but she didn't expect that she would shake up her glorious deeds in the yamen. ?
Yuan Mu's expression looked serious, making it impossible to guess what was going on in his heart at this moment.

When Yuan Huai heard this, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the officer who helped his son solve the big case before was such a young man. He immediately became more interested in Mu Liuyun, and asked many questions about the investigation.

Mu Liuyun was still a bit reserved at first, and he was not easy to let go. Under Yuan Huai's enthusiastic discussion, he gradually relaxed. The more the old and the young chatted, the more they found each other, and unconsciously left Yuan Mu aside. , I didn't have a chance to say a word for a long time.

Finally, after Mu Liuyun answered the old prince's curiosity about the bone examination in Songzhou, seeing that they had chatted for a while, Yuan Mu found a chance to speak and said to Mu Liuyun : "You go and get the things."

Mu Liuyun had just had a lively chat with the old prince, and for a moment he forgot even the nervousness. Now that Yuan Mu reminded him, the uneasy feeling came to his mind again, and he hurriedly got up, his expression looked so very stiff.

Yuan Mu smiled at her, gave her a wink as a consolation, and signaled her not to be nervous, Mu Liuyun nodded, saluted Yuan Huai again, and then quickly went to Waquan Pavilion to pick up the things he had brought.

Yuan Mu sat there without moving, watching Mu Liuyun leave, and only turned his gaze away when Mu Liuyun was far away, only to find that his father was looking at him with somewhat complicated eyes and expressions.

Yuan Mu saw it, but he didn't open his mouth to ask. As usual, he talked with his father about the recent situation. Yuan Huai also had questions and answers, but he seemed a little absent-minded. He wanted to speak, but changed his words with a troubled expression, and talked about something else with his son.

The father and son chatted for a while, and Yuan Huai finally couldn't help it. He was not someone who was deep in the city and could hold back his words. It has not been easy for so long.

"You and I are a father and son, we can talk about anything, right?" He suddenly put aside the topic that he had to talk about before, and asked Yuan Mu.

Yuan Mu nodded with a calm expression: "What father said is that there is naturally no gap between us father and son. If father wants to say or ask anything, it's okay to say it, and there is no need to worry too much."

Yuan Huai nodded, saying that he wanted to speak, but he still seemed a little embarrassed. After considering his words, he finally asked: "Did you not only feel that you are able to help the official Namu Tui, but also on weekdays?" Is it a coincidence?"

Yuan Mu admitted frankly: "That's exactly the case. Although Mu Tui and I dare not compare Guan Bao in vain, we share the same mind and interests."

Yuan Huai's beard trembled: "Then... what do you have in mind for others...beyond your confidant?"

Yuan Mu still didn't shy away, and nodded again: "That's exactly the case, the child dare not hide anything from his father."

After listening to his words, Yuan Huai's expression became more and more awkward, as if he was expecting it, but also a little embarrassed, which was also mixed with a touch of relief. Several emotions were intertwined, making his His face looked very strange.

"Why does father have such a weird face?" The corners of Yuan Mu's mouth trembled a few times. When he spoke, he still spoke in a flat and calm tone. There was no emotional fluctuation on his face, as if he just admitted it frankly. It wasn't something that shocked his father's jaw enough, and his father's complicated emotions at the moment didn't seem to have anything to do with him.

Yuan Huai looked at his calm and calm son, frowned, then let go, rubbed his hands subconsciously on the armrests of the chair a few times, and finally sighed heavily: "Since you passed the year of Zhixue Now, in these years, I have never seen a shadow of a woman beside you. Other people's children have reached your age, even if they have not yet married a wife, there are always one or two concubines and concubines in the family. You, the yard is deserted and deserted, and when you go outside, no matter whether you are a noble lady or a piano player and a dancer, no one can watch the performance, today, I finally solved the confusion!"
