Prosperous Concubine

Chapter 251
Seeing Mu Zhen's stern refusal without hesitation, Master Xu was not annoyed, stroked his beard lightly, and chuckled: "As for the black-clothed assassin, I need Duke Mu to figure out a way for himself, and there is nothing I can do to help."

Mu Zhen's complexion darkened in an instant: "Xu Shilang, don't push people too much. The black-clothed assassin is the head of the criminal department. Even if you reject the case now, in a few days, the emperor will issue an order to hand over the case to you." you!"

"I know this, but before the case was handed over, Mu Guogong had already been beaten by hundreds of military sticks, and he could lie in bed for half a year with serious injuries, or even die!" Master Xu said lightly, as if it was nothing to do with him. The look of hanging high.

"You!" Mu Zhen pointed at Mr. Xu, speechless angrily. His daughter was originally used to marry for profit and used as a paving stone for himself, but Mr. Xu is too special. If he marries his daughter, he will provoke the capital. People ridiculed him, he would be shamed if he had a high official and rich salary, but if he didn't marry his daughter, it would be too unfair to die among hundreds of army sticks.

Master Xu saw Mu Zhen's eyes shining brightly, as if he was in a fierce ideological struggle, and a smile rose from the corner of his mouth, which was moved by emotion and made sense: "Mu Guogong, you can have many daughters. That, but I only have one life, if I lose it, it will be completely dissipated, no matter how much glory and wealth I can enjoy, no matter how beautiful I am, I won’t be able to embrace it, it’s too late to regret it.”

Assassin in black is not a trivial matter, and taking over it requires a lot of risk. If Mu Zhen asks for him, he will use this matter to seek the greatest benefit for himself. He wants Mu Zhen to have a daughter as his daughter-in-law. Safe and sound, it's a life for a life, it's a fair deal, no deception.

"This..." Mu Zhen was hesitant. He didn't know the truth of Master Xu's words, but he had to take his own reputation into consideration, sacrificed his daughter in exchange for notoriety, being shamed by the world, and the result that life would be worse than death Not what he wanted.

"Mu Guogong, don't worry, you still have two days to think about it." Mr. Xu is in the officialdom, and he knows that haste makes waste, he has already said what should be said, and what to do depends on Mu Zhen. .

Seeing Mr. Xu walking slowly, not in a hurry, Mu Zhen sighed heavily: Xu Shilang's son is in his twenties, and he has plenty of time to wait for girls of the right age. It's not that he must have the daughter of the Mu family, but he only has two days. Can't wait.

"Marriage is a matter of parents' orders. I can't make up my mind by myself. I have to go home and discuss it with my wife!"

Master Xu looked at the moving look in Mu Zhen's eyes, and knew that he had moved his mind. It was just an excuse to go back and discuss. His son who had been alone for many years was about to marry a wife. Easy!"

Mu Zhen went back to Duke Mu's mansion with a heavy heart, and the first thing he did when he stepped into the house was to visit Mu Yunjia in Yunjiayuan.

Mu Yunjia's ankle was pinched and broken by Mu Yutang, and she was resting on the soft bed with a splint, waiting for the bone to heal. When Mu Zhen walked into the inner room, he saw her bathed in the sun, her beautiful face was bewildering, But there was a hideous scar abruptly, which destroyed the overall beauty and reduced the charm of that face by five or six points.

Mu Yunjia is the most outstanding girl in Duke Mu's mansion. Mu Zhen has always placed great hopes on her, and always hoped that she would marry into the glorious family of the royal family, but she was disfigured, and Mu Zhen's hopes were completely dashed.

"Yun Jia!" Mu Zhen called softly, and walked over slowly, with a kind and kind smile on his tired face.

"Father!" Mu Yunjia was quite surprised when she saw Mu Zhen. She injured her ankle and was unable to go out, but she learned from the maids that Mu Zhen had committed a crime of dereliction of duty and was so busy that she disappeared every day. How could she be free today? look at her?

"Yun Jia, how's the ankle injury?" Mu Zhen asked with concern, sitting gently beside Mu Yunjia's bed, his kind and kind eyes looked like a loving father.

"It's okay!" Mu Yunjia smiled perfunctorily, her muscles and bones were hurt for a hundred days, her ankle was crushed, how can it be healed in a few days, seeing Mu Zhen hesitated to speak, she frowned incomprehensibly Frowning, he asked softly, "Father came to see me, is there something wrong?"

Mu Zhen kept thinking about saying it later, and later, but time passed quickly, no matter how much he procrastinated, the time to clarify things finally came.

Looking at Mu Yunjia's puzzled and expectant eyes, she sighed heavily: "Yun Jia, would you like to marry the young master of Xu Shilang's family?"

Mu Yunjia was startled, remembering the situation of Mr. Xu, her beautiful eyes widened suddenly, and she stared at Mu Zhen fiercely: "Father, you are confused, Mr. Xu is a fool, how can my daughter marry him? "

She is the number one beauty in Qinglong Kingdom, so many outstanding talents in the capital are chasing after her, but they can't even look down on her, how can she marry a fool.

Mu Yunjia is Mu Zhen's daughter who has worked so hard to raise her. When he thinks of allocating her to a fool, his heart is bleeding: "Yunjia, dad is in big trouble. If you don't marry, our whole family will die." Beheaded."

"So serious?" Mu Yunjia frowned tightly. If the Duke Mu's mansion collapsed, she would not have a good life. However, she is the daughter of the Duke Mu's mansion. That fool has low status, low status, and a brain There is a problem, how can she be worthy of her: "Father, I am not the only daughter in our family, why are you sacrificing me?"

"Mr. Xu specified that he wants a concubine daughter, not a concubine daughter!" A gloomy look appeared in Mu Zhen's eyes. On the way back to the house, he went to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, but the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment was busy asking questions, so he couldn't find time to receive him. Not to mention assisting him in investigating the black-clothed assassin.

His current hopes are all pinned on Xu Shilang. Xu Shilang's crippled son, marrying a concubine to him is already a high point for him, but Mu Guogong was in trouble, and Xu Shilang took advantage of the fire to rob him. .

"Father, Mu Yutang is also a prostitute, why don't you let her marry?" Mu Yunjia gritted her teeth in hatred when she mentioned Mu Yutang. Her ankle was hurt by Mu Yutang. She would not be able to walk normally within a hundred days. He wished he could eat Mu Yutang's flesh and drink Mu Yutang's blood.

Letting Mu Yutang marry a fool and suffering for a lifetime is really a good way of torture.

Mu Zhen didn't like Mu Yutang. After hearing Xu Shilang's conditions, the first victim he thought of was her. If Mu Yutang still lived in Luoyu Pavilion, he would give her to silly Xu without hesitation. Young master, in exchange for his safety and security.

But Mu Yutang has already left Duke Mu's mansion, and she still has a deep taboo against him, and she is heavily guarded. She also knows that he has committed a crime of dereliction of duty, and is looking for ways around. She will never return to the mansion until the matter is resolved, and he will use it whenever he wants If not, Yunjia had to be wronged.

Mu Zhen watched Yun Jia grow up since he was a child. Her beautiful face and full of talent are Mu Yunjia's pride, and also his pride. He favors her and cultivates her with all his heart. He hopes that one day she can marry into the royal family. Glorious lintel.

But now, her beautiful face has been ruined, not to mention the royal family, the princes and grandsons of the palace, even the famous sons of the capital, they will only avoid her when they see her, and they will come to ask for a marriage. To die alone in the mansion is simply an insult to him. He married her to Mr. Xu, so that she can rely on her, and relieve her urgent needs. Why not do the best of both worlds.
