Chapter 70 Father's Heart Is Sometimes Iron

In the shadows where the lights couldn't reach, Mou Xiumei's face was as pale as a ghost, and she waved her hands,

"No... no need!"

Mou Biao nodded, saw her turn around and staggered a few steps, and then called out,
"Miss..."

"what?"

Mou Xiumei turned her head, Mou Biao's face was dark and unclear in the shadow, but her voice was unprecedentedly heavy,

"Sister, it's getting late, go back to sleep early, the road is difficult, be careful where you step, don't make a wrong step, and you will never turn back!"

Mou Xiumei's body froze, she turned her head and gave Mou Biao a deep look, and led Tian'er to turn around and leave.

Looking at her leaving back, Mou Biao heaved a long sigh of relief. He finally knew what Mou Xiumei did in the previous life to offend his mother, and ended up like that in the end!
The eldest sister probably used the same tricks as today, trying to snatch the second sister's husband-in-law, and hated her to the bone after being found out by Mrs. Liu, but Mrs. Liu must have suppressed this matter, so she went out to open the house alone I don't know the details.

"Elder sister is confused!"

The matter between the Mou and Ke families has long been settled. It was she who caused Mr. Ke's frivolity and molestation tonight. With the temperament of her father and mother, how could she be threatened by this? Then they were locked in the backyard, and they could match up a marriage at will and it would be over!
If the elder sister puts her own innocence on the line, I'm afraid that what she gets in return is not a wishful man, but an ancient Buddha's green lamp, or marrying a heartless man like in the previous life, and she will die in depression for the rest of her life!

Maybe……

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Mou Biao's mind,
"Perhaps in the previous life, the eldest sister was always depressed, not only because the eldest brother-in-law was flirtatious, but maybe also because her parents did not do what she wanted when she did this matter..."

Mou Biao still stood on the spot and sighed, suddenly a figure flashed in front of his eyes, someone appeared from the darkness, clasped his hands together and said,

"Eighth Young Master, my lord, please go to the study for a while..."

Mu Biao was taken aback for a moment,
"father?"

The figure didn't speak, but turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation. Mou Biao turned his head to look in the direction where Mou Xiumei left, secretly startled for the eldest sister,
"It turns out that Dad already knew about it!"

Thinking about it, this place is not far from Shuxinyuan, there are many secret guards in Jinyiwei, how could the secret guards not know what happened to them here, and why didn't they report it to Dad?
The hidden guard glanced at him, as if urging him, Mou Biao nodded, picked up the lantern on the ground, strode across the long corridor, and turned into the Shuxin courtyard.

In the academy, sitting behind the desk, Mou Bin, with thick eyebrows slightly raised, stared coldly at the boy kneeling on the ground, someone reported outside,

"My lord, the Eighth Young Master is here!"

Mu Bin nodded and ordered,

"Pull it down and kill it!"

"Yes!"

Hearing the words, the boy on the ground didn't even dare to scream, and he fell to the ground with a shake, and there was a wetness in his crotch. When Mou Biao came in, he glanced at the boy who was being dragged out.
"Father, are you looking for me?"

Mu Bin nodded, and the hostility on his face eased slightly.

"sit……"

Mou Biao turned around and sat down on the lower chair,
"What does dad want to ask me?"

Mu Bin stared deeply at his son for a while,
"How do you know what happened to your eldest sister tonight?"

Mou Biao thought for a while and replied,
"My son was eating in the big kitchen and heard that the second sister's girl borrowed a pot... The second sister learned the method of the Lantern Festival, and the elder sister bought it from my friend for seventy taels of silver..."

Mu Bin's expression didn't change when he heard it.

"Based on this alone, you guessed it?"

Mou Biao shook his head,

"My son is just curious. The eldest sister spent so much money learning it just to teach the second sister. They are not so good on weekdays!"

Mu Bin laughed aloud, stood up with his hands behind his back, and looked out the window at the shadows of the trees whirling around.

"Old eight..."

He turned around and looked at his son with cold eyes and some relief,
"……you have grown up!"

It is the first time for Mou Biao to be stared at by his own father with such eyes when he is so old. The eyes are not the kindness in the past, but the sharpness of eyes with one point of appreciation, three points of speculation, six points of exploration, and six points of exploration. As if he wanted to see him clearly from the outside to the inside, even the things in his previous life could be seen. Mou Biao's back was sweating under his stare. Only then did he realize that his father, the commander of Jinyiwei, It's really not for nothing, just this look is not inferior to those important ministers in power in the court, Mou Biao put away his laughing expression after being stared at by him, and asked sternly,
"Father, how are you going to deal with Eldest Sister?"

Mou Biao looked at the long sword hanging on the wall with his hands behind his back,

"Father doesn't interfere with the affairs of the backyard..."

If dad doesn't care, he's going to tell mother, and that elder sister might end up in the same fate as in her previous life!
Mou Biao couldn't bear it, stepped forward two steps and knelt down,
"Father, please forgive Eldest Sister this time, if this matter fails, let's just pretend nothing happened!"

Mu Bin looked back at him, a little surprised,

"You plead for your eldest sister?"

Mou Biao replied seriously,

"She is the elder sister of my son's compatriots. It is only natural to intercede for her. The eldest sister just did something stupid in a moment of confusion. My son begged father to forgive her this time!"

Relief flashed in Mou Bin's eyes, he came over and touched his head, and stood in front of him with his hands behind his back for a while before answering,

"According to the nature of a father, such an unruly, ignorant act of self-love should be punished..."

Mou Biao's back felt chills when he heard this, and he thought to himself,

"Could it be that Dad thought the same way in the previous life, so... Dad is not busy with business and has no time to take care of family affairs. He... what he did to his mother was intentional connivance?" But Mou Bin said again,

"But... you are pleading for her... Forget it... today's matter is what you asked for!"

Mou Biao was overjoyed,

"Thank you dad!"

As long as you pass the level of father, the happiness of the eldest sister's life in the rest of her life can be considered hopeful!
Mu Bin nodded, grabbed his shoulder with one hand and lifted him up.
"I heard that you often come home late these days, and you haven't come back yet?"

Mu Biao nodded,

"My son went to solve a case..."

Mu Bin frowned upon hearing this,
"Can you still solve the case?"

Mou Biao smiled triumphantly,

"Father underestimated his son in a hurry, he really solved the case..."

As he talked about the case of Lai Dongsheng's murder from beginning to end, Mou Bin raised his brows, and after a long silence, he asked his son why he suspected the Yao family, and how he heard something strange from Hu Xiucai's words. He didn't care how a country woman killed her husband's concubine, but he cared very much how his son found something strange in this case and how he followed the clues.

Mou Biao consciously solved the case, and he was so proud of himself that there was no one to confide in. At the moment, he told his feelings and thoughts, and Mu Bin nodded.

"It's a bit savvy..."

Seeing his father nodding his head, Mou Biao couldn't help feeling more complacent, and stretched out his hand to say to his father,
"Father, my son is doing a serious job. He has solved a case, so he deserves some small credit. Daddy give me a reward!"

Mu Bin glared at his son,
"I'm not the Governor of Shuntian. If you help him solve the case, you should let him reward you. Ask me what I want?"

Mou Biao laughed and said,

"Then it's good that Liu Wenji didn't secretly scold his son for meddling in his own business, so why would he reward him?"

Mu Bin glared at him,
"That's it!"

Turning around, he went to the desk drawer and took out a gold sheathed knife,
"This was rewarded to me by His Majesty, you can play with it!"

Mou Biao stretched out his hand to pick it up with great joy, and Mu Bin told his son,

"This is something given by His Majesty, but be careful not to lose it!"

"Know it!"

Mou Biao took the knife, feeling heavy in his hands, tried to hold the handle, and pulled it lightly, but it didn't move. After looking carefully, there was a ruby ​​inlaid on the handle. I tried to press it, and the blade of the knife popped out without a sound.

He stretched out his hand to pull out the knife, and there was a cold light in the study, the cold light on the knife flashed in the candlelight, and there was a stream of light on the edge of the knife, and it was a good knife at a glance, Mou Biao was overjoyed and returned Sheathed the knife, put it in his arms, turned around and punched his father,

"Thank you dad!"

Mu Bin snorted angrily,
"Okay, it's getting late, go back to bed quickly!"

Mou Biao nodded, turned around and left, and when he got to the door, he thought about it and turned back, saying,

"Father, about the eldest sister..."

Mu Bin snorted,

"Of course I mean what I say, if this matter is revealed, it will be revealed!"

Mou Biao was overjoyed, so he left at ease. Mu Bin looked at his back as he swaggered away, but smiled slightly.
"This kid is getting more and more promising!"

Thinking of the eldest daughter again, his complexion sank again, and he stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back and sighed.

"Well, even if you agree to that kid, it's hard to go back on your word!"

Now that the children are all grown up, if such a thing happens, it is due to Liu's housekeeper's ineffectiveness!
At night, after Mou Xiumei turned around, she didn't sleep all night. When she got up again, the bruises under her eyes were very conspicuous. Seeing this, Tian'er hurriedly boiled eggs for her face,
"Miss, if you go to Madam's yard like this, I'm afraid that Madam will ask questions..."

Mou Xiumei smiled wryly,
"How can I sleep?"

She didn't think about what happened last night. How did Lao Ba know?
And... besides Lao Ba, who else knows about this?
That place is close to Dad's Shuxin Yard, Old Ba knows about it, if Dad also knows about it, how will Dad deal with him?
Mou Xiumei's current heart is full of emotions, and she is extremely anxious. She wished she could learn an invisibility spell, and rushed to Mou Biao's yard without anyone noticing, and grabbed her little brother to question him carefully. Even though she is the elder sister of Ba Na, she dare not provoke him. If she provokes him, and makes the whole family know about it, she can only find the root of the house, and hang herself with a white silk!
Tian'er was a bystander, and advised her,

"Yi Nubi is watching, Miss don't need to worry too much, Numai watched Eighth Young Master's words and deeds last night, most likely he is hiding this matter for Miss!"

Mou Xiumei stretched out her hands to curl her long hair on her shoulders, with a puzzled expression on her face,

"That's what I thought too. I thought about it all night last night. I also guessed that Lao Ba was probably hiding it for me. It's just...how did he figure it out?"
