Chapter 349 Distress
She was so dizzy that her brain was no longer clear, but she still subconsciously grabbed the man's clothes.

"……Thanks."

The man holding Mu Wanjin visibly stiffened. His lowered eyebrows seemed to be carefully sizing up the woman in his arms. His frown had not relaxed for a long time, but he did not say a word after all.

the other side.

"What? The Ninth Prince went to the General's Mansion?!"

"Yes! I thought he would be too shameless to step into the general's mansion again in his life!"

"He is the worst student, as Lu Jingyuan admitted personally!"

"You don't understand this. A prince will inevitably be suppressed by Lu Jingyuan..."

……

Before Sheng Shiyou reached the gate of the General's Mansion, word of his visit to the General's Mansion had already spread before sunset.

Six years ago, he turned against his mentor Lu Jingyuan. Lu Jingyuan got angry and beat him out of the general's mansion with a stick without giving him any face.

But in fact, these are all strategies they discussed together.

Everyone thought that he had turned against the general.

In the past six years since then, the Ninth Prince has never set foot in the General's Mansion again, and even the New Year's gift cards have never been sent.

Lu Jingyuan was so angry that he said, "You will never step foot into the general's mansion again in this life." The old man was so angry that he couldn't even speak. It took Lu Youyou to coax him for a long time before he finally calmed down.

It can be seen that the relationship between Sheng Shiyou and Lu Jingyuan is really the same.

"What are you doing here!!"

Seeing a man in a crimson robe walking into the house from afar, Lu Jingyuan threw the teacup in his hand without any explanation.

With a "crash", the white porcelain general fell to Sheng Shiyou's feet and shattered to pieces, leaving sparse tea leaves on the floor.

When the old man got angry, everyone in the general's mansion was afraid to speak.

The servants glanced at Sheng Shiyou from time to time, thinking only about how the god of plague, who was said to be old and dead, had come back now. There was no room for discussion in private.

Sheng Shiyou's expression remained unchanged, as if he had long been accustomed to the teacher's attitude.

He came back after hearing that Lu Youyou was back. After Lu Youyou disappeared, Sheng Shiyou secretly sent people to search for her.

Here, Lu Zhiyan sent people back to Mu Mansion and was about to leave.

"wait wait wait……"

A breathy voice suddenly came out, and Lu Zhiyan's steps froze.

He frowned calmly for a moment, and when he turned around, he had returned to his flawless indifferent appearance.

"Miss Mu, is there anything else?"

Mu Wanjin's face was pale and her lips were bloodless. But she still relied on the servant's support to walk to Lu Zhiyan. She bent her lips and tried to put on a bright smile, and spoke softly in a soft tone.

"Thank you very much for what happened today."

"This..." Mu's father looked at his daughter in confusion.

"Dad, if Mr. Deer hadn't saved me today, your precious daughter would have been fed to wild wolves..."

Mu Wanjin's body was completely weak and her mind was unclear. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and the injuries all over her body made her almost unable to stand still.

Seeing his daughter's attitude towards Lu Zhiyan, Mu's father's expression softened a lot.

The old man was thin-skinned. He had been angry just now, so he couldn't talk pleasantly now. At this moment, he just turned his back and said thank you casually.

"Thank you very much for the little girl's matter."

Seeing that her father's stubborn temper had softened, Mu Wanjin looked eagerly at Lu Zhiyan's unwavering face. "It's just random. I will pick up kittens and puppies when I see them."

As if Lu Zhiyan didn't see Mu Wanjin's eyes, he left in a hurry without giving any face.

Mu's father's face was ugly. He looked at the crimson figure leaving and walked around angrily, cursing, "Okay, dad..."

Mu Wanjin frowned and pulled her father's robe to comfort her with a gentle voice. As soon as her face darkened, she passed out without warning.

"Master! Master! Miss is awake!"

Following a familiar shout, Mu Wanjin opened her eyes in confusion.

In front of me are the tassels of the sky-green curtains, and on my body is a light purple brocade quilt, and the room is filled with a faint smell of spices.

She remembered that this was her boudoir in the general's mansion.

"Daughter! You finally woke up!"

When Mu Wanjin opened her eyes, she saw her father with tears in his eyes. The pain all over his body was much lessened, and the bruise on his forehead had been treated with medicine.

"God bless."

Mu's father wiped the corners of his eyes, clasped his fists in a rare gesture, and said "Thank God" to Weiwei.

Such an exaggeration...

Mu Wanjin wanted to laugh when she looked at her father who was not calm when things happened to him.

His expression suddenly changed when he heard the word "invigilator".

Why didn't she remember it? , a case of fraud involving the prime minister's son came out in the scientific examination, and the emperor was furious. From then on, he had a grudge against the general's mansion, which indirectly led to the order to kill everyone in the family in the future.

When she thought of that decree, Lu Youyou felt a chill in her back. She barely maintained the smile on her face, and her fingers pulling on her elder brother's robe were trembling.

She took a deep breath and tried to suppress the trembling in her voice, "Brother, has the Prime Minister been very close to you recently?"

"Yes! The Prime Minister is very concerned about this examination."

Lu Shengqing stroked his short beard with a red face, and did not notice anything unusual about himself.

"what happened?"

"Brother, have you ever thought..." Lu Youyou's tone was hesitant, "The Prime Minister only made friends with you because you are the chief inquisitor this time?"

"..." Lu Shengqing suddenly frowned, "No... right?"

"But the Prime Minister has clearly drawn a clear line with you before."

Lu Youyou reminded carefully, swallowing saliva unconsciously.

The frowning Lu Youyou was silent and thoughtful for a moment, then she pulled her eldest brother close to his ear and said, "Brother, if someone catches the prime minister's son cheating, you will..."

"...Anyway, this is your Majesty's order. Don't worry, big brother has his own sense of proportion."

In the end, Lu Shengqing just comforted Youyou. Naturally, the chief examiner could not be absent from the examination three days later.

In the examination room, Lu Zhiyan had arrived early, and the color of his crimson official uniform seemed gloomier than before.

The sky was not bright either, and the sun was mostly covered by dark clouds, but it was a bit cool.

Lu Shengqing stood behind the high platform with his hands behind his back, looking around with a solemn expression at the candidates who were bending over their desks to answer their questions. Lu Zhiyan walked around the examination room, but stopped silently, like a ghost in the daytime.

Presumably no matter what the means, in the eyes of the Minister of Justice, there must be no escape.

A candidate wearing a brocade robe stood out among the crowd of students. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes and was obviously out of tune with those students from poor families.

Lu Shengqing recognized him at a glance. He was the son of the Prime Minister's family.

He suddenly remembered Youyou's words and frowned as he stared at the young man whose legs were shaking.
