Chapter 38 Leng Mei: I've Met Your Father (Read More)

Listening to what Leng Mei said, Xu Ruyan's face flushed a little, and her cherry lips pursed slightly.

Liu Mei also frowned.

But she didn't speak either.

She couldn't learn that Leng Mei could express so boldly. The etiquette from childhood taught her to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and female red embroidery.

So Xu Ruyan just silently took her own things from the carriage.

But in the next second, a roll of portraits fell out of what she was holding.

As soon as the picture is spread out.

Seeing this, Xu Ruyan quickly put down the things in her hands and went to pick up the portrait.

Leng Mei glanced at it, but was a little surprised, and let out a "huh".

Xue Mu asked, "What's missing?"

"My father's portrait." Xu Ruyan held the portrait in her hands and carefully swept the dust on it.

Leng Mei said: "I have seen your father."

As soon as these words came out, both Xu Ruyan and Xue Mu were surprised.

Xu Ruyan hugged the portrait and asked, "Have you seen my father?"

Although Xue Mu was surprised, he also felt it was reasonable.

After all, Xu Jie is a good official who loves the people. Doesn't he often go to the streets to show compassion for the people?

Thinking of this, he was not too puzzled.

But Leng Mei said: "Your father once looked for Xiao Mu's father."

After saying this, Xue Mu had to be shocked.

"Sister Leng, do you mean that Ruyan's father visited my father?" Xue Mu asked hastily.

Xu Ruyan also felt puzzled.

Could it be that his father and Xue Mu's father really knew each other?
Xue Mu even added: "Her father is actually an official of the court. He is the head of the household department. Do you know him?"

Leng Mei explained: "I don't know her father, and I don't know that he is an official of the court, but I went to wash clothes by the river that night, and I did see your father and her father chatting there. There's a third person."

"Is there a third person?" Xue Mu and Xu Ruyan said in unison.

"Well, but I didn't see who it was, and I didn't care. I just thought it was your father's old friend."

Xue Mu continued to ask, "When did this incident happen?"

"Half a year ago." Leng Mei replied.

She continued to look at the portrait, and then looked at Xu Ruyan, as if thinking of something: "Are you Xu Jie's daughter?"

"It's the little girl." Xu Ruyan saluted.

"I remembered, Mr. Xu often set up porridge stalls outside the city to help the victims outside the city." Leng Mei explained.

Xu Ruyan nodded: "Yes, my father often does this."

Leng Mei asked: "Then your father is now?"

Xu Ruyan's eyes showed a trace of sadness: "A few days ago, he was imprisoned for corruption, but I believe he was wronged, and I will prove his innocence."

Leng Mei walked up to her at this time, gave her a gentle hug, and apologized: "I believe your father is a good official, although I don't know that is your father, but I usually hear people talking about you in the street. Your father's praise, your father must be a good official."

Perhaps it was the sympathy from the women, Xu Ruyan's mood was even more comforted.

It's just that Xue Mu on the side is sorting out the logical relationship.

He knew before that Xu Jie had a friendship with his father, and the friendship was not shallow.

But Xu Jie was still able to go find his father in person.

A senior official who used to be the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and an old jailer who was just an old jailer in the sky prison.

In the middle of the night, discuss important matters by the river.

It can't be as simple as just reminiscing about the past.

Combined with his father's identity as Da Xia's undercover agent.

Is it
impossible?

Xu Jie is a good official of Daqing, he will still treason?
These questions were placed in front of Xue Mu, which made him puzzled.

By the way, there is a third person.

Who is this third person?
Just as he regained his senses, he found that there was only a hot image standing there silently, waiting for something.

According to the size, he knew it was Xu Ruyan, so he asked, "Where is Sister Leng?"

Xu Ruyan explained: "She just returned to her room, and she said that you might want to chat with me."

Xue Mu was stunned for a moment, and had to say that Leng Mei's observation of words and expressions was really in place.

Then he came to the chair, sat down, and said to Xu Ruyan: "Now I can be sure that your father and my father know each other, and the friendship is not shallow."

Hearing this, Xu Ruyan also nodded: "Although I haven't heard of Uncle Xue before, my father did ask me to look for him at the time, but... I didn't expect Uncle Xue to pass away so soon."

Xue Mu then asked: "By the way, are there any places your father usually goes to?"

"Go often?" Xu Ruyan thought about it.

She explained: "In addition to going to the court every day, he just goes outside the city to see the victims, the street is sympathetic to the people, and fulfills the duties required by the household department."

After hearing this, Xue Mu was also deep in thought.

"correct."

Suddenly, Xu Ruyan seemed to think of something, and she replied: "But sometimes my father would often go to the rockery in the backyard by himself. No one was allowed to approach that rockery, not even the cleaning servants. I still remember when I was a child. I went there once, and was ordered to copy a hundred times.”

"Fake mountain." Some thoughts came to Xue Mu's mind.

He then said to Xu Ruyan: "Ruyan, it's getting late, you've been tossing around all day, you should go to bed earlier."

After speaking, he also turned and prepared to leave.

At this time, Xu Ruyan, who had been hesitating all this time, asked with some guilt: "Are you hurt? Did you get hurt because of me?"

Only now did Xue Mu realize that Leng Mei had probably told her.

So he explained to Xu Ruyan: "It's okay, there was a rebellion in the prison before, and I accidentally got scratched, it doesn't matter."

"Okay." Xu Ruyan seemed to want to say something, but finally said: "Young master, I will try to sell the female red embroidery to the cloth shop, and the silver taels I get will be used as rent for the house."

After hearing this, Xue Mu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect her to be so strong.

If he only accepts Leng Mei's money, but not Xu Ruyan.

It is estimated that this girl will feel sorry.

So he suggested: "How about this, you clean the yard and hall every three days, as before, wash and cook for me, and the rent will be free."

"Ah?" Xu Ruyan still shook her head: "No, I promised you, Young Master, that I can do whatever I want. These are what I should do, and they cannot be measured by remuneration."

"Since you have said that you can do whatever you want, then you can't refute my words."

After Xue Mu said this, he comforted: "Don't think too much, go back and rest quickly. As for the matter of renting money, we will talk about it later, later."

"Okay, thank you son." Xu Ruyan saluted again.

Back in the room, Xu Ruyan lay on the bed, recalling Xue Mu's words of concern just now.

Suddenly tense up, and the heartbeat slowly accelerated.

There was also some blush on his face.

She didn't know what happened to herself.
