Black-bellied Xianggong: Cute wife is not easy to mess with

Chapter 178 Anxious

Xiao Cui'er offered a cup of hot tea at the right time, Kang took it, took a sip, and said, "This happened suddenly, and Bai Caiban didn't know what was going on, but he had already been to the yamen and asked about it. The news is similar to what the yamen servant said, saying that your father offended a certain dignitary, and that dignitary secretly put pressure on the magistrate of Liang, forcing the magistrate of Liang to arrest your father."

Offended the powerful?Mu Qinglian and Li Yueniang involuntarily exclaimed, and Mu Qinglian even said: "It's over now, offending the powerful is not a joke."

After listening to Kang's words, Mu Qingwan's nervousness eased a little, and she said to Kang, "Mother, although it's not a good thing to offend the powerful, but at least it's not Liang Zhixian who offends, we still have a chance to act."

Li Yueniang also helped comfort Kang: "Sister Qingwan is right, since the godfather didn't offend Liang Zhixian, then we can still ask Liang Zhixian for advice."

"You're right." The Kang family was most afraid of not paying attention. Since Mu Qingwan and Li Yueniang both said that, she calmed down, stood up and said, "I'm going to find the magistrate Liang."

It was still dark outside, so it was not a good time to go out, but Mu Changguang had already been arrested, so Mu Qingwan had no choice but to take Mu Qinglian and Li Yueniang to send the Kang family to the second gate.

They sent Kang away, still not sleepy, and continued to wait in the hall.After a while, a little maid came in and reported: "The shopkeeper Shi is here."

"Cousin Shi is here!" Mu Qinglian stood up first, her face full of surprise, as if with Shi Tianci, any problem could be solved.

Mu Qingwan glanced at her, and said to the little maid: "Please come in, Shopkeeper Shi."

The little maid turned around and went out, and brought Shi Tianci in after a while.

Shi Tianci walked hurriedly, with an anxious expression on his face, and asked as soon as he entered the door: "The elder has been arrested? How is this possible? What is it for?"

Mu Qingwan thought for a while, and simply gestured to Mu Qinglian with her eyes to ask her to speak.Mu Qinglian was about to talk to Shi Tianci, she said without hesitation, "The group of yamen servants came suddenly, we don't know what happened, but I heard that my uncle offended a certain dignitary. The eldest aunt has already gone to Liang Zhi County Mansion to inquire about the news."

"A certain dignitary?" Shi Tianci took a few steps in the hall thoughtfully, then suddenly stopped and said, "I'm afraid I made a mistake? What kind of dignitary can we have in Yangxing County? The biggest dignitary is the magistrate of Liang County." gone."

"But my eldest aunt just went to Bai's house to inquire, and Bai Caiban said that my uncle didn't offend Liang Zhixian!" Mu Qinglian became anxious.

"That's weird, who else can the Grand Master know?" Shi Tianci frowned, and started pacing in the hall again.

This family really cannot live without a man. Look at Shi Tianci, whoever came here in the past was not a well-behaved man, but Mu Changguang was taken away. He dared to act like a man in Mu's house. Pacing the hall!Mu Qingwan hated secretly, but also felt very sad, why did she travel to such an era, as a daughter, no matter how great her ambitions were, she couldn't fulfill them, and often had to be controlled by others, but she was really unwilling.

Like Shi Tianci, Mu Qinglian frowned and racked her brains, but couldn't think of anything.Li Yueniang also looked blank.

A name popped up in Mu Qingwan's mind, but she didn't say it, she just said intentionally: "We are all young ladies who rarely go out, so we don't know who my father usually made friends with, but now that something like this happens, we can only resign ourselves to fate. "As he said that, he took out his veil, wiped his eyes, and said: "If my father really has something to do, as a girl, I have to go with him, and it's okay, it's just that my fourth sister——" She said As he spoke, he stared at Shi Tianci, and begged: "I hope that cousin Shi will not dislike the sudden changes in our family, and no matter what happens, give my fourth sister a good home."

These words seemed to be addressed to Shi Tianci, but every sentence pierced Mu Qinglian's heart, making her unable to sit still, she stood up and said, "Third sister, uncle is auspicious." You will be fine, don’t worry too much, besides there is Cousin Shi, he will definitely help us find a way, won’t you, Cousin Shi?”

"Of course, of course." Shi Tianci said repeatedly.

But Mu Qinglian was very anxious. She was not worried that she would not be able to marry Shi Tianci, but that after marrying Shi Tianci, the Mu family would fall, and that she would never be able to turn around in this life.In such a hurry, she grabbed Shi Tianci and insisted on forcing him to come up with an idea for the Mu family.

Mu Qingwan didn't care about her, and let her pester Shi Tianci, but Shi Tianci was finally pestered to the point of no choice, so she had to say: "I don't know who the old man has been in contact with, but at this moment, I just want to figure out Then a person can get along with the rich and powerful."

"Who is it?!" Mu Qinglian called out.

Shi Tianci said: "Master Wei, who came back home for two days, is he some dignitary in Beijing?"

Master Wei?Mu Qinglian was taken aback.That Mr. Wei and his party stayed in Mu's house for too short a time, and there was an assassin attacking at that time, so they only remembered the assassin and forgot about Mr. Wei.But thinking about it carefully at this time, judging from the way Liangzhi County received Master Wei at that time, Master Wei might indeed be an authority in Beijing.

Shi Tianci said again: "That's just my guess. As for whether it is true or not, I'm still not sure."

Mu Qinglian looked at Mu Qingwan.

Mu Qingwan thought for a while and said, "Where's Lin Wen? Go and find Lin Wen."

The two little maids left in response, and after a while, they brought Lin Wen back.

Lin Wen was in a hurry, his head was covered with sweat, obviously he just went outside and came back.Mu Qingwan thanked him for her hard work, and asked, "Is there any clue?"

"Hey." Lin Wen said anxiously: "No matter how I say it, the masters in front of Liangzhi County are always hesitant to speak, obviously they have been instructed a long time ago!"

"Then what do they mean? Also, did my father suffer after being arrested?" Mu Qingwan also became anxious.

Lin Wendao: "I only know that the master was thrown into prison, and I don't know anything else. Liangzhi County has not allowed relatives and friends to visit. As for the master's meaning, I probably let us guess."

"Let us guess?" Mu Qingwan was puzzled.

After all, Lin Wen has worked with Mu Changguang for many years and has seen a lot of knowledge. He explained: "In my opinion, it must be the reason why the master offended that powerful man. It is not easy to talk about it, so the master of Liangzhi County refused to speak. We guess for ourselves."
