Mrs. Shizi, she is both wise and brave

Chapter 54 Magnolia Flower

The two chatted a few more words, and Su Jingning said that she was going to find a book in her grandfather's study and let Mu Hai do the work.

When the Mu family moved back to Taixing Mansion in a hurry, they didn't bring many things with them, and there were still many books in the study.

Su Jingning wanted to look inside to see if there were any clues.

Mu Changyun's study is a three-room structure, with several large bookshelves lining the walls.

For fear of damage to the books, the top was empty at this time, and all the things were put into several large mahogany boxes next to it.

The boxes were not locked, so Su Jingning approached one of them to have a look and got up.

Nian Qing knew her master's purpose, she was a little confused when she saw this: "Miss, why don't we open it and look for it?"

Su Jingning shook her head: "There is a thin layer of dust on both sides of the copper lock ring on the top, but the middle is clean. Someone should have searched it."

When Nianqing heard the words, she quickly squatted down to have a look, and it was true.Look at the other ones and it's the same.

Since the other party has already looked for it, there is indeed no need to look through it.

Su Jingning thought for a while and went to the bookshelf, and skillfully opened a small drawer, which was also empty.

But she wasn't surprised at all.

There is also a hidden compartment under this drawer. In order to make her and her cousin happy, her grandfather often put some small things in it for them to find, so she wanted to open it.

Reach out and remove the wooden board at the bottom, there is indeed something inside.

But it was two withered magnolia flowers.

Su Jingning was in a daze for a moment, this must be the flower of the magnolia tree in her grandmother's yard.

She raised her hand to pick up one, and through its brown petals, she seemed to see an elegant and free-spirited white-haired old man standing under the dazzling magnolia tree with a smile and carefully selected the two most beautiful ones.

Suppressing the choking in her throat, Su Jingning asked Nianqing to find an empty box and put the one in her hand back, while the other one was left in place waiting for its owner to pick it up in person.

After tidying up, Su Jingning found several hidden places, but found nothing.

She was about to go to other places to look for it, but there was a servant girl outside who reported that Mr. Han Huihan, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, had come.

A gleam of coldness flashed across Su Jingning's eyes, she pondered for a while before deciding to go and see for herself.

When she rushed over, Su Heng and Mu Hai were talking with a middle-aged man in the living room.

This person has a regular face, elegant and friendly temperament, but his eyes are slightly brighter, and he looks a little shrewd.

It must be Hanhui.

At this time, he said with a happy face: "This is a great joy, Langgan can finally show his great ambitions!" Langgan is the name of Su Jingning's uncle, Mu Xiuzhu.

Su Heng also nodded with a smile.

Han Hui sighed again: "It's also because I'm too useless. Although I was running around before, I was only a small servant of the Ministry of Rites, so I didn't help at all."

Su Heng hurriedly comforted: "Brother, don't think so, the Mu family has already received a lot of help from you."

Han Hui only shook his head, and after a while he asked again: "Do you know why the Holy Majesty suddenly thought of Langgan?"

Su Heng was originally a simple-minded person, he only cared about being happy, how could he think of inquiring about this matter, he had a dazed expression on his face.

Mu Hai had already given the order, and now he only said: "The servant only heard the news, and the specific reason is not clear."

Han Hui was a little disappointed, turned his eyes and said, "Since that's the case, it's better to inquire about it. I'm afraid that if someone wants to take advantage of the Mu family, it won't be good if they suffer a loss."

Su Jingning couldn't help sneering, this person really had a good plan, seeing that he couldn't find anything out, so he just sowed discord.

If the Mu family's trust in her is as usual, I'm afraid they will really fall into his trap. If they find out that the prince has facilitated this matter, they may really doubt her intentions and alienate the prince.

Although the crown prince did intend to use the Mu family, he didn't know that according to the current situation of the Mu family, there was no other choice at all. Only by being a sharp knife properly could he earn a living.

But she understood clearly, but Su Heng was frightened by his words, and hurriedly asked: "What should I do?"

Even though Mu Hai didn't trust him very much, he still showed a worried expression.

Seeing the two of them like this, Han Hui felt a little smug in his heart, but he comforted him: "This is just a bad guess, maybe it's only Master Nianhuai who remembered Langgan. Don't worry too much. Anyway, I will try my best to help inquire about mediation."

After hearing this, Su Heng felt grateful even though he didn't like this senior fellow of the same school very much, and quickly thanked him.

Han Hui frowned and waved his hands: "This is what should be done, why are you being polite to me?"

It's a look of sincerity and loyalty.

Seeing his fake face, Su Jingning was disgusted in her heart, thinking of the tragic situation of the Mu family in her previous life, she wished to tear him alive.

Perhaps her hatred was too strong, Han Hui suddenly turned his head to look outside the hall, and saw a pretty little girl standing at the door, he couldn't help being startled.

Su Heng also saw Su Jingning at the same time, so he beckoned her over and introduced, "This is the little girl Jingning."

Su Jingning smiled sweetly at Han Hui, bowed her knees and saluted: "I've met Uncle Shi."

Seeing her familiar face, Han Hui was in a daze for a moment, and when he woke up, he smiled and sighed, "Qiuniang's children are already this old."

Su Jingning asked curiously after hearing the words: "Is Shibo very familiar with my mother?"

Han Hui nodded affectionately: "Qiu Niang often listened to us when my teacher taught us before, so we are quite familiar with each other."

As he said that, he thought of the lively and laughing girl when he was young, and his heart suffocated. If she married him, she wouldn't have died so early!

It is only to blame that the mentor turned a blind eye to him, a person who was single-minded, but preferred a useless trash as a son-in-law.

Thinking of this, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes.

Su Jingning, however, looked forward to it: "The uncle will talk to Jingning more about the past when he has time in the future!"

Su Heng shook his head with a smile and said, "Your uncle is usually busy with business, so Aning don't bother him anymore."

Su Jingning stuck out her tongue embarrassingly: "I see, I'll just ask my father in the future."

Han Hui also laughed: "It doesn't matter, niece may come to the house when she is free, just in time to talk with your aunt and some sisters and sisters."

Su Jingning happily agreed, then bowed and said goodbye, walking out of the door, she could still feel a vague sight behind her.

Su Jingning brought up her mother deliberately to test Han Hui's reaction. Judging from the current situation, he probably likes her mother.

When he was young, he couldn't love him, and hated his teacher for not marrying his daughter to him, coupled with his own desire for power, so he ignored his teacher's teaching and care for him for many years and betrayed the Mu family for personal gain.

One day she will let this ungrateful villain suffer the consequences!
In the evening, when Su Jingning returned with Su Heng, Han Hui had already left.

Back at Su's house, as soon as he got out of the carriage and turned the corner, he saw a figure in a lilac beanie going in the direction of Sanfang.
