Chapter 6

At this time, the prime minister's mansion can be said to be restless.Murong Tuhui was even more furious when he heard what Aunt Jing, who was his continuation, said unintentionally.Thinking of my daughter actually wanting to elope with a penniless scholar for the sake of so-called love, it was hard to accept for a while.While ordering someone to bring the guy, he was about to go out in a hurry.He secretly swore in his heart that this time, he would definitely kill that Zhu Wenqing, so that his daughter would completely stop thinking about it.

"Master, master, please slow down." Aunt Jing hurriedly chased out, walked to her husband, pulled his sleeve, and persuaded, "Master, you must calm down, Xiner is not a child anymore, maybe I just went out to play, and I'll be back after a while..."

"A girl who goes out casually, what does she look like, do I agree, have you asked me?" Murong Tuhui was furious, his old face was flushed, looking at his concubine, he couldn't help scolding, "You Also, watching her go out, why didn't you stop her?"

Aunt Jing seemed aggrieved when she heard this, and said sobbingly: "I am just an aunt, what right do I have to reprimand my daughter-in-law? If outsiders find out, would they think that I am bullying the young lady? Even if it enters the Yellow River, it will not be washed clean."

Seeing her pear blossoms with rain, Murong Tuhui couldn't bear it. He patted her on the back to show comfort, but he still couldn't help complaining and said: "That's what you said, but you can't let her do whatever you want. What should I do if something happens and my reputation is ruined. The draft is about to come, this..." Suddenly thought of something, looked around, and hurriedly asked, "What about Rui'er? Didn't see her?"

Hearing such words, it seemed that her eyes lit up, Aunt Jing immediately stopped crying, and hurriedly explained: "This morning, Xin'er came to find Rui'er, what did you want her to help find Mr. Zhu..." Before the words fell, I heard the other party yell—

"Presumptuous, it's just nonsense, how could Xin'er do this?" Murong Tuhui interrupted her sternly, to be precise, she didn't want to believe it.

Aunt Jing was startled when she heard the voice, and took a few steps back in shock.After standing firmly on his feet, he frowned, and said solemnly, "Master, I can swear to God, I heard it with my own ears." Before the words could be uttered, a hurried and flustered voice sounded—

"Master, that's not the case. It was the second lady who encouraged the eldest lady to elope."

Hearing the familiar voice, Murong Tuhui hurriedly turned his head, and saw a little girl running over in a hurry.Murong Tuhui recognized her as Qiuyue, the servant girl next to the eldest daughter Murong Xin.Maybe it was too anxious, when she was approaching her, Qiuyue fell to her knees with a "plop", pulled her clothes, and said very eagerly—

"Master, you must not misunderstand Miss. The eldest lady didn't want to, it was the second lady who seduced her in front of her all day long. The eldest lady listened to her and then..." Before the words were finished , I heard a "slap", and someone slapped me on the face.Qiuyue closed her mouth instinctively, and raised her head. Aunt Jing was standing in front of her, looking at her viciously—

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why did Rui'er offend you? You want to slander her like this? Then Murong Xin is obsessed with ghosts. What does it have to do with Rui'er if she takes a fancy to that scholar?" Murong Rui is her own daughter. Not to be slandered by others.What's more, this is also his own plan, and it must not be destroyed by others. The most important issue is that Murong Tuhui should not let Murong Tuhui suspect himself and Murong Rui.Thinking of this, he glared at Qiuyue fiercely, showing the color of warning.Momentarily angry, he raised his hand again.His hand was raised in the air, and was suddenly held by someone.Looking back, I couldn't help being surprised, "It's you?"

"Xin'er?" Murong Tuhui was overjoyed when he saw the person coming, he rushed over to meet her, pressed his daughter's shoulder, and looked up and down for a while, but he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.But he still put on a straight face and asked, "What did you do, why are you only coming back now?"

"Father, don't you know what I did? Have you forgotten what day is today?" Murong Xin asked back.Frowning, he looked at his father suspiciously.As if he couldn't remember, his father frowned and shook his head puzzled.Seeing this, Murong Xin was disappointed for a while.Sighing, she let go of Aunt Jing's hand, looked at her father again, and said with a bit of mourning, "Today is the anniversary of my mother's death."

"Ah?" Murong Tuhui seemed taken aback, with a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face, he let go of his daughter, not daring to look at her, and turned his head to the side, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"Father, do you still need your daughter to remind you about such things?" Murong Xin asked deliberately.

Thinking of his dead wife, Murong Tuhui felt ashamed facing his daughter.He wanted to say something, but he was ashamed to speak. In desperation, he could only shut up silently, bowed his head, and dared not look at her.

Murong Xin saw his father's indifference, and when he thought of his mother's death, he suddenly felt sad.He sighed softly, looked at his father, and said in a very understanding manner: "Father, my daughter knows that you are busy with work and don't have time to see your mother, so I haven't bothered you all this time. It's my daughter's fault that I forgot to tell you." He bent down and was about to bow down to salute, but was pulled up by his father—

"Forget it, don't do this, it's not good for your father, I misunderstood you." Murong Tuhui helped her up, patted her on the shoulder, and said softly.Sighing lightly, he said reproachfully, "I don't want to say anything about such a big matter before I go out. At least tell your aunt."

Hearing this, Murong Xin seemed to react instinctively. Turning her head, she glanced at Aunt Jing who was standing beside her, and said apologetically, "I'm a girl, so I don't dare to go out by myself. So I let my sister Go with me. Auntie, didn't my sister tell you before going out?" After that, he frowned, as if he was very puzzled.

When Aunt Jing heard this, she was a little out of breath, and was about to refute, but before she could speak, she heard her daughter Murong Rui suddenly say—

"Oh, father, it was my fault. I left in a hurry, and I didn't have time to tell my mother, so that my father misunderstood me. I'm really sorry." Murong Rui said, blessing her body in a hurry, looking at her father anxiously .At this moment, with a glance, he suddenly saw that his mother seemed to be about to have a seizure, so he hurriedly gave her a wink and signaled her to shut up.

Although she was unwilling, seeing her daughter's wink, Aunt Jing still kept her mouth shut.But doubts abounded in my heart, what is going on, why did Murong Xin come back suddenly, why did Murong Rui suddenly speak for him?
Murong Xin had a panoramic view of the expressions of the two of them.Smiling contemptuously, Murong Rui was quite smart, instead of beating him up, he calmed down.In contrast, Aunt Jing was a little impatient.Fortunately, Murong Rui responded quickly, if Aunt Jing spoke out, Murong Rui would not be able to escape.Looking at his father again, seeing him looking at Aunt Jing for a while, and Murong Rui for a while, his eyes are full of suspicion.Now is not the time to deal with them, Murong Xin thought, and deliberately yawned.

"Tired?" Hearing the voice, Murong Tuhui looked back at his daughter, his eyes full of pity, "You have worked hard today, go to rest early." After finishing speaking, he took a deep look at her, turned around and was about to leave.After walking a few steps, she might have thought of something, and suddenly stopped, and looked back at her daughter, "In a few days..." It seemed difficult to say, she squirmed her mouth, and did not say the words for a long time.

Even so, Murong Xin could clearly see his father's thoughts.Nodding seriously, said:
"Father, I have figured it out. You let me participate in the draft for my own good. I am not alone. I am your daughter. Behind me, there is you, my father. For you, for this Family, I will definitely perform well and live up to your expectations." After saying this, Murong Xin raised her head again, met his gaze, and nodded affirmatively, as if telling him that what she said was true .

"You really think so?" Murong Tuhui seemed unable to believe his ears, after all, his daughter and that Zhu Wenqing...

"I'm not a child anymore." Murong Xin said deliberately.Seeing his father's excited eyes, he held his hand tightly.

"Good boy, good boy." Murong Tuhui seemed to be filled with emotions, and said excitedly with trembling hands.Looking at her daughter, she breathed a sigh of relief, as if relieved.Let go of his daughter, nodded and said, "Okay, I won't bother you anymore, you should rest early and prepare well." After saying the last sentence, he bit his lip, turned around and left.

"Master." The matter did not achieve the expected result, Aunt Jing was naturally unwilling, and hurriedly shouted.Who knew that before the words came out, someone had already covered his mouth.

"Sister, go to bed early, mother and I won't bother you." Looking at Murong Xin, Murong Rui forcefully forced a smile. Although she was unwilling, she couldn't help it.Putting away his smile, he dragged his mother and was about to leave when he heard—

"Sister, go slowly, I've let you down even today." Murong Xin said this on purpose.Seemingly straightforward, but actually meaningful.

When Murong Rui heard this, her heart tightened, she turned her head abruptly, but saw Murong Xin looking at her calmly with a half-smile, but she couldn't see what he was thinking.He shivered involuntarily, and left as if fleeing.
