Chapter 176

Sure enough, Shen Lingze came just after the beginning of the Hai.

"I want you to take me to Mu's house." Su Jingning said directly when they met.

Shen Lingze raised his eyebrows and responded, "Okay."

He thought for a while and said, "Wait a little longer, we'll go there after the shift changes over there."

Su Jingning naturally had no objection.

The two waited for a while, guessing that the time was almost up, and then prepared to set off.

Nian Qing took a dark cloak and put it on for Su Jingning, and helped her wrap up her hat tightly, making it difficult for people to identify her identity for a while.

"Stay in the house and take care of me. I'll be back soon." Seeing that Nian Qing had a worried look on her face, Su Jingning comforted her before following Shen Lingze out of the house.

It was already late at this time, and there was silence outside, and everyone in the yard fell into a deep sleep.

Su Jingning followed Shen Lingze all the way out of the courtyard and walked to a remote place in the Su family.

Across the wall is the alley next to the Su family.

Su Jingning glanced at the high courtyard wall before she spoke, when a low voice suddenly came from her ear, "I'm offended."

Immediately afterwards, she felt a hand gently put on her waist, and before she could react, she was already outside the courtyard wall.

Su Jingning glanced at the high wall behind her, and felt envious again.

It's really good at kung fu!
"Let's go!" In the darkness, Shen Lingze seemed to have noticed the psychological changes of the people around him, and couldn't help chuckling.

The two walked out of the alley side by side, and a carriage drove over not far away.

The driver was Chun Shui, and the two got into the carriage directly and rushed to Mu's house.

When approaching, the carriage stopped, and Shen Lingze led Su Jingning over directly.

From a distance, Su Jingning saw lights flickering at the gate, and a group of soldiers were guarding the gate.

Of course, Shen Lingze would not take Su Jingning through here, the two of them turned around to the corner of a nearby alley, and repeated the same trick, he took Su Jingning and jumped in.

After landing, Su Jingning found out that the place where she landed was actually the garden of Mu's family.

"My father also sent people to guard the gates of the courtyards. Let's be more careful." Shen Lingze said, and led Su Jingning to the front.

The two carefully avoided the patrolling soldiers all the way, and went directly into the outer courtyard, to the outside of Mu Chen's courtyard.

The guards outside Mu Chen's courtyard were Shen Lingze's people. Because they had been ordered earlier, they had already avoided that side at this time, and Su Jingning and the two entered the courtyard without hindrance.

When knocking on the door, Mu Chen had already rested, and when he got up when he heard the movement, he was surprised to see that it was Su Jingning.

"Cousin, why are you here?"

The most important thing is, the person next to him is Prince Rui's son!Why did he come here with his cousin?

What's happening here?
Shen Lingze noticed that Mu Chen didn't care about his gaze, so he smiled and saluted first, "Brother Mu."

Mu Chen immediately returned the courtesy and called out politely, "My lord."

Immediately, he cast doubtful eyes on his cousin.

Seeing this, Su Jingning explained with a smile: "Cousin don't worry, the son is one of us."

What Mu Chen said was even more puzzled, he didn't understand why his cousin was so familiar with Prince Rui's son?

On the other hand, Shen Lingze, who was next to him, quietly raised the corner of his mouth when he heard it, and the smile on his face couldn't be stopped no matter what.

"You guys talk first, I'll wait at the door." He said thoughtfully, then walked to the door.

Seeing this, Mu Chen asked, "Why are you here now?"

"I was worried, so I came to take a look." Su Jingning replied and asked directly: "How is the Mu family?"

"Very good." Mu Xiuzhu said.

He glanced at Shen Lingze's back and said in a low voice: "Grandmother and mother are fine, Prince Rui didn't treat the family members badly, he just sent someone to guard us, some letters were taken away for inspection."

Su Jingning's heart trembled when she heard the words, and she quickly asked, "Did my cousin do what I said?"

Mu Xiuzhu nodded, with a look of gratitude on his face, "Fortunately, you let brother Jingyan deliver the letter in advance. I just changed my grandfather's seal, and that dog thief Han Hui came and stole the things."

"That's good." Su Jingning let out a long sigh of relief.

Ever since the news of the corruption case came, Su Jingning had been worried that someone would think of other ways to frame Mu Xiuzhu.

Especially when thinking of Han Hui in her previous life who used the fake correspondence between her grandfather and the king of Tatar to report that the Mu family was collaborating with the enemy and treason, resulting in the Mu family being ransacked and exterminated, she was even more careful and was always on guard against Han Hui.

As time went by, Su Jingning became more and more uneasy, but because she couldn't go out and couldn't go to Mu's house in person, she simply asked Su Jingyan to help her deliver things to Mu's house, and she reminded Mu Chen to be careful about Han Hui's behavior. The letter was sandwiched among these things and sent directly to Mu Chen.

Mu Changyun has a private seal engraved by Su Jingning, which was used by him before his death, and it is often used when dealing with private affairs.

But outsiders don't know that Su Jingning actually carved two almost identical private seals for Mu Changyun.It's just that the other one has some flaws, so it is usually locked up and not used.

This letter told Mu Chen that Han Hui had betrayed the Mu family and wanted to steal Mu Changyun's private seal to frame the Mu family, and asked him to change the seal secretly.

At that time, Mu Chenxin didn't believe that his uncle, who was always close to him, would treat the Mu family like this, but his always cautious character made him stand up.

However, what was said in the letter turned out to be true, and Han Hui really betrayed the Mu family!

When he realized that the seal was stolen by Han Hui, Mu Chen was both grateful and angry. He wished he could grab Han Hui and ask him what the Mu family could do to him, and let him do such a thing. Vile and shameless things come.

"I really don't know what wrong with grandfather and father to let him disregard the previous feelings of teaching and helping, and deal with the Mu family so harshly?" Mu Chen gritted his teeth and said bitterly.

It was not only Mu Changyun who taught Han Hui, but also Mrs. Mu and Mu Xiuzhu always regarded Han Hui as their relatives.

At this time, being stabbed in the back by the so-called relatives, how can it not hurt!
"The prosperity of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. My grandfather once said that Han Hui is too utilitarian and likes to make money. I guess he blamed the decline of the Mu family before, which blocked his bright future. How can you remember the hard work your grandfather put in teaching him, what's so special about betraying the Mu family?" Su Jingning sneered.

Han Hui must have felt that he had studied hard for several years before he entered the official career through the imperial examination. He originally had a bright future, but was implicated because of the defeat of the Mu family.

But now, if he is careless, he may be implicated by Mu Xiuzhu again, and he can't even keep this little servant, how can he bear it?
He is going to betray the Mu family!
