The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 156
"stop!"

Before reaching the gate of the courtyard, Cui Hengyue was stopped by someone.

Cui Hengyue looked at the two men who stopped her, their faces were familiar.

She searched in her mind and remembered that the two men had captured her in Mingyang Town.

"Are you Huo Feng and Huo Tao?"

The lean man on the left spoke first: "That's right, I'm Huofeng."

Pointing to the companion beside him: "He is Huo Tao."

Huo Tao interrupted him roughly, and asked Cui Hengyue, "What are you doing here?"

Cui Hengyue: "I want to see General Mu Huo, please let me know."

"The general is in seclusion and doesn't see anyone." Huo Tao directly refused.

However, Cui Hengyue did not give up, she continued: "I know that General Mu Huo is in retreat, but I have something important to tell him, so you can help me pass it on."

Huo Tao hesitated.

"I'll go pass it on." Huofeng took the initiative to accept the task, turned around and entered the yard.

Not long after, Huo Feng came out of the courtyard and waved to Cui Hengyue: "Miss Cui, come in."

Cui Hengyue hurried into the courtyard, first thanked Huofeng, and then looked around calmly.

Perhaps it was because there was no sunlight coming in, the whole courtyard looked gloomy, with a chilling air, it didn't look like a retreat at all.

Walking to a side room, Huo Feng stopped: "Go in, the general is waiting for you inside."

Seeing that Huofeng didn't intend to go in, Cui Hengyue went straight across the threshold and walked in.

Mu Huo sat cross-legged on the futon, as if he was meditating or dozing off.

"sit."

Mu Huo suddenly opened his eyes and pointed to the futon next to him.

Cui Hengyue obediently sat down on the futon he pointed to, and asked curiously, "Do you just sit here every day?"

"Yeah." Mu Huo responded softly, then closed his eyes again: "Why are you looking for me?"

"I want to know the grievances between King Chu and Xie Yu."

Hearing this, Mu Huo suddenly opened his eyes: "Why did you inquire about this matter?"

Cui Hengyue replied calmly: "Because Xie Yu said that the king of Chu killed his second sister, but I don't think the king of Chu is such a person, so I want to know the truth of the matter."

"Have you met Xie Yu?" Mu Huo was surprised.

"Yes, I went to see him yesterday."

"Why do you suddenly want to see Xie Yu?"

"When Mrs. Cui came to Yunxuan Temple to see Xie Yu, I fought against Xie Yu. Besides, he is also my relative, so I should go and see him."

Mu Huo stared at her twice more. Is she taking the initiative to confess that she sneaked to see Mrs. Cui and Xie Yu?
He was silent: "Why don't you ask the master? If you ask, the master will definitely tell you."

"The king of Chu told me that there is no grudge between him and Xie Yu." Cui Hengyue directly expressed the attitude of the king of Chu.

Master didn't say?
Mu Huo lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, before asking a question: "How did Xie Yu tell you?"

Therefore, Cui Hengyue didn't hide anything, and told Mu Huo everything Xie Yu told her.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Mu Huo's face was full of anger: "He still thinks so?
"How many times have we told him that the master didn't touch Xie Erniang or destroy her innocence, but he just doesn't believe it.

"It's been 16 years now, and he still hasn't figured it out, it's really stupid."

The more he talked, the more angry he became, Mu Huo couldn't help scolding Xie Yu severely.

Seeing that his anger gradually dissipated, Cui Hengyue said: "Even if the King of Chu didn't touch Xie Erniang, but he and Xie Erniang appearing on the same bed will also damage Xie Erniang's reputation."

"The master was plotted against." Mu Huo interrupted her: "The master usually drinks a lot, but he didn't drink much when he went to Xie's mansion for a banquet that day, but he felt dizzy, as if he was drunk. same.

"Actually, the master has never been drunk since he was 15 years old, so the master must have been plotted against.

"Besides, the master was already unconscious before being carried to Xie Erniang's bed, how could he do something wrong?"

Cui Hengyue: "In any case, Xie Erniang's reputation has been ruined"

"So what?" Mu Huo said indignantly, "It's very pitiful for Xie Erniang to encounter such a thing, but isn't it even more pitiful for the reputation of Master I to be ruined by this incident?

"It's so pitiful, but you still want to force the master to marry a woman he doesn't like, how wronged is the master?
"Besides, because of this incident, the master lost his beloved woman.

"And Xie Erniang had an accident in her own mansion, or in the backyard. This is clearly because Xie's mansion was not well-defended and did not protect her daughter. Why should the master take this responsibility?"

Cui Hengyue was momentarily at a loss for words.

Mu Huo said again: "Actually, there is another possibility, that is, the Xie family did it on purpose.

"Before this, the trustee of the Xie Mansion delivered a message to the master, wanting to marry the Prince of Chu's Mansion, but the master rejected it, so it is possible that this matter was planned by the people of the Xie Mansion."

Cui Hengyue didn't think so: "If it was planned by the Xie family, it is impossible for Xie Yu not to know that for so many years, he always believed that the king of Chu killed his second sister, so he wanted to kill the king of Chu to save his second sister. revenge."

"Don't forget, Xie Yu is a bastard, how could he know such an important matter?"

Cui Hengyue: "."

Could it be that Xie's mansion really wanted to climb the dragon and become the phoenix, and planned this matter single-handedly?

If this is the case, then the loss of Xie Mansion will be too heavy.

This incident not only damaged Xie Erniang's reputation, but also damaged the reputation of the Xie family, and the Xie family also lost a prostitute daughter.
Cui Hengyue thought for a while: "I don't think this matter was done by Xie's house. If it was done by Xie's house, you should have found out the evidence long ago, right?"

"."

Mu Huo paused for a moment: "Master has the same thought as you, because we investigated carefully afterward and found no clues pointing to the fact that the Xie family was also involved in this matter.

"But I don't think the Xie Mansion can be excluded. After all, this incident happened in the Xie Mansion. If there is no internal response to help destroy the evidence, it is impossible for us to find clues."

Cui Hengyue: "."

This statement also seems to make sense.

"By the way, what is the relationship between the Xie Mansion and the King of Chu now?" Cui Hengyue asked.

Mu Huo thought about his choice of words: "Old and dead do not communicate with each other."

Cui Hengyue was stunned: "Xie Yu is in the hands of the King of Chu. The eldest daughter of the Xie family visits Xie Yu at Yunxuan Temple every year, and dealing with the people of the King of Chu is a must.

Mu Huo's expression froze, and then he refuted her forcefully: "The eldest daughter of the Xie family was married as a wife, and she is from your Cui family, so she doesn't count.

"As for Xie Yu, he is already dead outside."

Cui Hengyue: "."

Xie Yu is actually a dead person outside?
Cui Hengyue was puzzled: "Why do you say that?"

Mu Huo: "Because after Xie Erniang committed suicide, Xie Yu sneaked into Chu Palace late at night, trying to kill the master.

"Later, he was discovered by people from the patrol battalion, and he was taken into a cell and ate prison food for several months.

"Later, I don't know how he escaped from the prison, and when he heard that the master had come to Yunxuan Temple, he sneaked in and wanted to kill the master again.

"The master originally wanted to kill him, but Mrs. Cui rushed over and begged hard, so the master let him go.

"However, in order to avoid more troubles, the master ordered me to fake Xie Yu's death."
