Mugui

Chapter 334
Yang Mu solemnly put away the two boxes, had lunch with Lin Xiao, and took a nap.

After waking up, his back was sore. Yang Mu stretched greatly and heard a "crackling" sound between his joints. He couldn't help but glared at someone with a smile on his face.

Lin Xiao stretched out his hand to rub Yang Mu's broken hair and said, "Should you get up or sleep for a while?"

Yang Mu slapped his hand away, got off the bed, and said, "Didn't you say that Mr. Ming is very powerful? Maybe the matter has been found out."

Lin Xiao stood up funny, resisting the pain in his back, put on his coat without revealing his face, and went out with Yang Mu.

We had agreed to take a stroll around Lin's house in the morning, but before we had time, we took advantage of the fact that it was still bright and walked side by side in the garden.

Prince Ding's Mansion is a royal palace after all. It covers an area slightly larger than that of the Yang family, but the buildings are very simple and the front yard is mainly rough. There is not even a big tree, let alone flowers and plants.

The backyard is full of birds and flowers, with mountains and water, but the layout is extremely simple.

The main reason is that the number of people in Prince Ding's palace is small, so the residence assigned to each person is extremely large.

The two of them had just finished visiting the garden and were about to go back to Chengqi Courtyard when a servant sent a message asking them to go to Yongan Courtyard.

The two looked at each other and understood. The futon matter should have come to an end.

When the two arrived at Yong'an Yuan, they heard Lin Qiuchen crying from the main hall.

"Father, I really didn't do this! Why am I bullying my sister-in-law when I have nothing to do?"

The two looked at each other again, and saw the look of "it's really her" in each other's eyes.

The maid who was holding the curtain opened the curtain with a complicated expression when she saw the two of them, letting them in.

The Crown Princess has slapped the princess in the face countless times since she entered the door yesterday, and now she has directly dragged the eldest lady into the water.

The servants of Yong'an Yuan no longer dared to look at him with disdain, and there was already a bit of fear in their hearts.

In the main hall, Lin Qiuchen knelt in the center with great grievance. Sitting on the main seat were Lin Mao with a sinking face and Cao with an angry look on his face.

Lin Shan and Lin Ji, who came after hearing the news, were sitting there, their expressions were not good.

Lin Shan seemed angry, while Lin Ji was a little frightened.

A middle-aged man with a gentle appearance sat aside, drinking tea slowly, as if he was watching a show.

Lin Mao pointed at the man and sneered: "Mr. Ming found out, and you still want to deny it?"

Lin Qiuchen was unconvinced and said: "If the father wants to convict his daughter, he must at least have evidence!"

Lin Mao looked up and saw Lin Xiao and Yang Mu coming in. He pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Sit down."

After the two saluted, they sat down and saw Butler Feng coming in with a few people.

Mingyuan put down the tea cup, straightened his sleeves, then stood up and said: "Miss, this is the steward of the ancestral hall. He confessed. Aunt Qiu next to you gave him two taels of silver. You must let the servant know today." Liu Cheng is on duty."

He took a step forward, stood next to the young man, and said, "This is Liu Cheng. He confessed. Aunt Qiu gave him two taels of silver, put it in a futon, and placed it at the place where the imperial concubine will pay tribute."

He took another step forward, stood in front of a housekeeper, and said, "This is Aunt Qiu. Of course, the eldest lady knows Aunt Qiu. She is the housekeeper of your yard."

Lin Qiuchen's face turned pale after hearing what he said.

Mingyuan continued: "Miss, this Aunt Qiu said it herself, you gave her ten taels of silver to do this, and she embezzled six taels herself." Lin Qiuchen glared at the shivering Aunt Qiu angrily, and turned around He looked at Mingyuan and said, "Mr. Ming and I have no grudges, why did you frame me?"

Mingyuan shrugged and said, "As the eldest lady said, I have no grudges against you, so why should I frame you?"

Lin Qiuchen was about to speak when Mingyuan smiled and said: "If the eldest lady is not convinced, you can summon secret guards. I remember the prince said that in order to ensure the safety of the female family members in the mansion, secret guards are arranged to guard each courtyard."

Lin Qiuchen choked and his eyes became panicked.

Mingyuan was right. There were secret guards guarding the front and back yards of the mansion day and night. There were two in her yard.

Maybe these secret guards couldn't hear the conversation in the house, but they knew who was coming in and out of the yard!
Moreover, those secret guards are directly under the control of the father and will not help her lie at all!
She was young after all. After the failure to manage her expression, who among the people present still didn’t know that it was Lin Qiuchen who did the thing?

Mr. Cao never expected that Mingyuan would bring out the secret guards.

She also forgot that in the years since she married into the Lin family, she had rarely seen secret guards, so she almost ignored the existence of these people, which was a miscalculation.

Seeing that her daughter could no longer hold on any longer, she immediately said: "Sister Chen! If you did something wrong in a moment of confusion, quickly admit your mistake to your father!"

Lin Qiuchen looked at Mr. Cao with wet eyes. Seeing Mr. Cao winking at him, he knew that there was absolutely no other way at the moment except admitting his mistake.

She was cruel and kowtowed: "Father, my daughter knows her mistake!"

Lin Mao's wide eyes were full of disappointment and disbelief. How could his daughter, that weak little girl in swaddling clothes, do such a thing!
Ms. Cao stood up, leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, Sister Chen is also a little girl with a very naughty nature. She is definitely not against the Crown Princess. I hope your Majesty sees that she has not made a big mistake, nor did she make any intentional mistake. For my sake, please give me a lighter sentence!"

Lin Shan also stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Father, this is just a petty temper and a joke between the girls in the backyard. If we men take it seriously, it would be a bit of a fuss, right?"

He turned to look at Yang Mu who was sitting and said, "My sister-in-law must be a generous person and won't argue with this little girl Chen'er."

Lin Ji also stood up immediately, lowered his head and said, "Father, please calm down."

Lin Xiao raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Shan, who was putting pressure on his wife, and sneered, "Second brother, you haven't married yet. After you marry, if you can still say these words, I will believe you." It’s like a bowl of water that is balanced.”

It's a blatant threat.

If today's trend is not correct, don't blame Lin Xiao for fighting back after Lin Shan marries a wife in the future.

Lin Shan's face darkened and he said: "As the eldest brother, does he still want to interfere in the backyard?"

Lin Xiao looked at him coldly and said, "I haven't said a word since I came in. The second brother has been begging for mercy for his sister. Who are you and me interfering in the inner courtyard?"

Lin Shan choked and took a deep breath.

Lin Xiao glanced at Lin Mao, stood up, and said, "Father, do you think this is a matter of the inner court?"

Lin Mao looked grim and said, "The ancestral hall is in the front yard!"

Lin Xiao saw his father coming and immediately answered: "The hands of the inner courtyard reached into the front courtyard. This is not the rule of the palace. From yesterday's big kitchen, to today's slave fights, to the futon matter. In just one day, the palace has become too lively. Fortunately, the Crown Princess is already a member of our palace, otherwise..."

He paused and said seriously, "Father, if you don't follow the rules today, the family rules of the royal family will be gone."

Mrs. Cao was so anxious that she called out "Your Majesty", but Lin Mao stopped the second half of her sentence with a wave of his hand.
