The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 112

After giving the order, the King of Chu looked at Mu Huo and said, "You stay here and we can talk about it."

"Yes."

Mu Huo immediately stepped forward and pushed the wheelchair to the study.

Mu Feng, Mu Yun, and Mu Shui resigned.

After arriving at the study room, King Chu and Mu Huo sat facing each other, holding chess pieces in their hands, which landed on the chessboard one after another.

Mu Huo glanced outside, lowered his voice and said to King Chu:
"Master, my people came to report just now that shopkeeper Sun of Fulai Inn was under severe torture, and insisted that he was a servant of the Song family. He came to Mingyang Town five years ago because he was ordered by the old Patriarch.

"The jade pendant that Cui Hengyue took out at that time was the seal of the next Patriarch of the Song Mansion, that's why shopkeeper Sun took her in."

The King of Chu paused his chess hand: "So, Song Zhuoxing values ​​Cui Hengyue very much."

The next moment, he frowned: "However, the Song family has no contact with the Cui and Wang clans, and Cui Hengyue has never left the South Palace before. Why does he value Cui Hengyue so much?"

Mu Huo couldn't help laughing: "The master may have forgotten that Song Zhuoxing originally came to Yunxuan Temple to pray for his mother, but after seeing Cui Hengyue in the temple, he followed Cui Hengyue into the South Hall.

"He has taken a fancy to Cui Hengyue, and according to my observation, he is indeed attracted to Cui Hengyue."

Because of love between men and women?

The King of Chu suddenly remembered his first meeting with Wang Yuanniang, but just looking back, he engraved her deeply in his heart.

In this world, there will always be people who are desperate for things other than power.

The king of Chu laid down a chess piece: "Is the person in Fulai Inn suspicious?"

Mu Huo Zhiqi followed closely behind: "My people have checked it out. They are ordinary businessmen and there is nothing suspicious."

"In that case, let Mu Yun negotiate with Song Zhuoxing."

"Yes."

After a round of chess, Mu Huo worriedly said to the King of Chu, "Master, let Mu Shui be in charge of Cui Hengyue's food, this is a dangerous move.

"If Mu Shui rebels in the future, Cui Hengyue will be out of control."

The king of Chu bent his lips, his expression full of confidence: "The little girl is so similar to her, she will never turn against her.

"By the way, since Mrs. Cui is here, it's time for the little girl to meet the Cui family."

Half an hour later, Mu Huo appeared in Guanyin Pavilion.

"My master means that Song Zhuoxing should be punished for helping Cui Hengyue escape from the South Palace. If he wants to keep shopkeeper Sun and others, he should prepare a ransom. You can handle this matter."

As he said that, Mu Huo took out another greeting card and handed it to Mu Yun: "Madame Cui has only one purpose for coming to Yunxuan Temple, you can arrange it and let them meet tomorrow.

"Master said, it's time for Cui Hengyue to meet the Cui family."

After conveying King Chu's order, Mu Huo suddenly patted Mu Yun on the shoulder, saying earnestly: "Anyway, Mu Shui is originally a member of King Rui, so don't get too involved."

Seen through his thoughts, Mu Yun's face became hot, and he said angrily: "You know better than me what Mu Shui is like, why don't you believe her?"

"Ugh--"

Mu Huo let out a long sigh: "I just don't want to see you get hurt."

After saying that, Mu Huo patted Mu Yun's shoulder lightly twice, turned and left.

Mu Yun froze on the spot, full of thoughts in his heart.

After a while, Mu Yun looked away from the empty doorway and shouted, "Chiye."

Suddenly a figure appeared at the door: "Master, what are your orders?"

"Go and call Yun Chen over."

"Yes."

Not long after, when Yun Chen came, Mu Yun told him: "Didn't Cui Hengyue always want to know who was locked in the South Catacombs? You can arrange it, don't be too deliberate.

"Well, let's arrange it when Mrs. Cui comes to the South Hall."

After explaining the errand, Mu Yun asked Chiye to bring Song Zhuoxing to the Guanyin Pavilion.

That night.

Cui Hengyue walked back and forth several times in the North Catacomb bored, and after three rounds, she suddenly heard the guard outside the door mention "Mrs. Cui", and she paused.

Then he quietly walked to the door, put his ear on the door, and listened to the conversation outside.

"I heard that the King of Chu refused Mrs. Cui's request to see her again this time. If you want me to say, why bother, the King of Chu won't see her, and he sends invitations every year. It's really too busy."

"What do you know, this is etiquette, Mrs. Cui doesn't bother you, what do you think?"

"I know, I just think these aristocratic families are too hypocritical. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. They beat around the bush, and I'm so tired."

"It's better to be a soldier, go straight, how easy it is."

"Yes, you are right."

"Hey, you said Mrs. Cui came to the South Palace every year, but she never asked to see the little lunatic. The Cui family is too ruthless."

Cui Hengyue's expression darkened.

Mrs. Cui actually comes to the South Hall every year, why doesn't the little lunatic know about it?

"Fortunately, the little lunatic didn't know about this, otherwise he would be so sad."

"It turns out that Captain Yundu concealed this matter because he didn't want to make the little lunatic sad. Captain Yundu really has a soft heart."

"That's right, if it wasn't for the little lunatic, Captain Yun wouldn't be at Maoshi every time."

When?

Cui Hengyue silently recorded the time, leaned against the door and listened for a while before walking back to the room.

She lay in bed, thinking about the conversation she had just heard.

It turned out that Mrs. Cui did not come to Yunxuan Temple to arrest her, but to meet someone.

Yun Chen set the time for their meeting to be Mao shi. At this time, the people in the South Hall were still asleep, so the little lunatic had never known that Mrs. Cui had been to the South Hall in all these years.

However, who is the person Mrs. Cui wants to meet?

Why avoid the crowd?Is there some ulterior secret?
Cui Hengyue sat up abruptly.

Although she didn't want to see Mrs. Cui, she was very interested in who Mrs. Cui wanted to meet.

The person Mrs. Cui came all the way from Jinyang to meet must have an unusual identity. If she can find out Mrs. Cui's secret from this person, it will be of great help for her to enter the Cui family.

The Dragon Boat Festival is coming, Mrs. Cui, as the wife of the eldest son of the Cui family, must rush back.

In other words, Mrs. Cui will only arrange to meet this person at Maoshi tomorrow.

Cui Hengyue hooked the corners of her lips, and she will go to meet them for a while tomorrow.

After making the decision, Cui Hengyue relaxed and fell asleep in a short while.

The next day.

Cui Hengyue opened her eyes, sat up suddenly, and looked at the engraving next to her.

Oops, it's about time.

Cui Hengyue quickly changed her clothes, opened the door, walked lightly through the passage, and came to the door.

She took a deep breath, opened the door, and prepared to be questioned by the guards, but saw the two guards leaning against the wall, snoring.

Great.

Cui Hengyue cheered in her heart, stepped over the threshold, closed the door gently, and left here.

Cui Hengyue saw no one else except for a few patrolling guards on the way.

Arriving at the south gate, seeing that the gate was ajar and there were guards outside, Cui Hengyue stopped, thought for a while, then turned and went to the kitchen.

After a while, Cui Hengyue was wearing the clothes of a guard, carrying a food box in his hand, and walked towards the south gate with his head down.

"stop."

The guard outside the door stopped Cui Hengyue: "What are you doing?"

Cui Hengyue bent down, and pretended to be hoarse: "The general ordered, don't neglect Mrs. Cui, and ordered me to prepare some cakes and send them to Mrs. Cui."
