The main house of the Mu family was brightly lit, and almost all the members of the Mu family were sitting here.
Everyone had a different expression on their face, and their thoughts were even more different. Yang Shushu still didn't dare to move her injured foot, but no one asked her how her foot was. She sat on a chair in the living room of the main house, facing all the members of the Mu family. The scene reminded her of the court.
She is the criminal and all the shepherds are judges.
She thought the scene was particularly funny, so she sneered.
Mu Qingyi was like a Chihuahua who had bitten a wolfhound because of his master. He was so proud and arrogant that his tail was about to stand up. He shouted with a shrill voice, his hands with green nails: "What are you laughing at? You actually burned down my uncle and aunt's house. Do you know how much effort my cousin put into keeping it in its original condition? You actually burned the most important thing to my cousin just to get revenge? You are simply..."
Yang Shushu was stunned. She didn't pay attention to what Mu Qingyi cursed after that. She just glanced at Mu Shicang. He didn't sit with the other members of the Mu family, but stood at an angle to her right. The light there was dim, and she couldn't see his expression clearly, but inexplicably, she felt that Mu Shicang at this moment was different from usual.
Lowering her eyebrows, she turned around and said calmly, "I didn't burn the house down, why would I burn myself for no reason?"
"Commit suicide. You've already done it once. What can't you do to embarrass our Mu family? This evening, a servant saw you using the kitchen. Who knows if you were planning to start a fire from the kitchen at that time." The speaker was Chi Ling. She sat on the sofa with her arms around her chest, looking at Yang Shushu sharply with her eyebrows raised, and the corners of her mouth turned up high, with disdain and gloating.
Yang Shushu laughed when she heard this: "Evening? But the fire just started, right? Don't you think it's been burning for a long time?"
"Who knows? Maybe there is some mechanism set up." Mu Shuya said lightly.
When it came to Mu Shuya, no one said anything. The men of the Mu family didn't seem to want to draw any conclusions, or it was inconvenient for them to speak, so they simply didn't let the woman speak.
But no matter what they said, they had to let Old Master Mu make the final decision, and this time, Old Master Mu looked at Mu Shicang.
Mu Shicang finally walked out of the angle. He had wiped his glasses clean, but he hadn't had time to change his clothes. His white shirt had become a floral shirt, and his black trousers were covered in dust. He walked step by step to Yang Shushu and stared at her intently.
Yang Shushu didn't shy away from his gaze, she raised her head and looked him in the eye, with a fearless attitude. After staring at her for a while, Mu Shicang suddenly smiled. He didn't look away, but said, "The fire department will look for the source of the fire soon. Let's talk about it after they find it."
His words surprised everyone. Anyone who had stayed in the Mu family for more than five years knew how much Mu Shicang cared about that house. He never lived there, nor did he exclude others from living there, but as long as there was the slightest change or damage there, he would not even allow the flowers and plants there to be altered, and he would definitely get angry.
The most memorable thing was that one time when the Mu family held a banquet, someone accidentally walked into the small house. If you were to walk in by mistake, you would just walk in by mistake, but he had to go in and bump into things, and finally knocked down a painting hanging on the wall.
The consequences can be imagined. At that time, he didn't say anything to Xiao Muye, who had just returned from abroad, and even comforted him with a smile. As a result, two months later, the other party's hand was disabled.
At the time, no one thought it was Young Master Mu from the Mu family who did it. They simply thought it was an accident. But one day, the man came to the Mu family again and fell in love with a maid. When he touched the maid behind his master's back, he was seen by Young Master Mu. Young Master Mu smiled and asked the man, "Young Master Wang, breaking this hand is not enough, do you want to break your life too? You can't touch anything in the Mu family. Whether it's dead or alive, they all belong to the Mu family. Do you understand?"
According to the people who were present at the time, Master Mu looked like a smiling little devil from the underworld. The gentler his smile was, the more eerie and terrifying he felt.
Since then, that person soon disappeared from the upper class society of Jinjing, and the news about how much the Xiao Mu family cared about the house left by their parents spread not only in the Mu family, but also in Jinjing.
However, what really scared the Mu family was that Mu Shiyun once brought a woman back to the Mu family to fool around, and actually got into that house. At that time, no one lived there, so he wanted to have a quickie, but was discovered by Mu Shicang. If the housekeeper Liang Shu had not seen it and called Old Master Mu in time, Mu Shiyun might have been reincarnated.
Since then, it has become a place that both the guests and the members of the Mu family are very wary of.
It was precisely because of this that Mu Shicang arranged for Yang Shushu to live there. Everyone believed that he truly loved Yang Shushu, just as he had said to Old Master Mu, that he would not marry anyone else but her.
In fact, the Mu family also had such an idea, but only Mu Shicang himself and Old Master Mu understood what he meant by doing this.
And now, Yang Shushu directly burned down the house. It is conceivable what her fate will be.
No one in the Mu family spoke, and everyone seemed to be indifferent. Only Chi Ling's eyes drifted away when she heard Mu Shicang say to wait for the firefighters to find the source of the fire.
Yang Shushu was also a little surprised by Mu Shicang's decision. She had just dug out some vague memories from her original body's memory, which seemed to be what Mu Shicang had said to her original body.
He said, "You can live here, but you can't touch anything here, any furnishings. Don't touch the flowers and plants outside either. Just let them grow."
It turned out that it wasn't that no one cleaned up here, but that he didn't allow anyone to touch it.
Why are they not allowed to move? Is it because that is where my parents once stayed?
She looked up at Mu Shicang, her eyes no longer flashing with rebellion, but rather a bit gentle. Mu Shicang was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows, as if to say: Let's settle the accounts slowly.
Yang Shushu was so angry that she frowned, gritted her teeth and lowered her head.
She had just thought that this guy might not be so cold-blooded, but it turned out that he was still just as annoying.
At this time, they didn't notice that Chi Ling pushed Mu Qingyi. Mu Qingyi was like a knife held in someone's hand without any IQ. Without any thought, he directly showed the blade.
"What is there to check? There's nothing around the house that could catch fire. If it's not the kitchen, then maybe the flowers and plants outside are spontaneously combusting." Her tongue swept lightly behind her teeth, and her smile was sour and malicious.
"In my opinion, she just didn't die last time and she's still not satisfied, so she wants to drag our Mu family down with her."
