Chapter 141 "Master Mu, where are you going...
She knew that Uncle Song had a good relationship with Ayuan and the other children.
Especially in the past few days, Yanzi refused to eat, which made Song Bo very anxious. He carried Ah Zhu around the city every day to find doctors to treat Yanzi.
The reason she said this was just to persuade Uncle Song.
Song Linsheng glanced at Wen Yu and Song Bo, then lowered his brows and a fleeting smile crossed his lips.
He knew that Xiaoyu was the best person.
Sure enough, Uncle Song's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but when he heard Wen Yu's words, he stopped refusing her.
"Okay, then I will go back home with Xiyan first." Song Bo finally agreed as soon as he opened his mouth.
Before leaving, he turned around and reminded: "Second Young Master and Madam Wen, after you finish your official business, remember to return home early. Madam Wen's health is very important, so you must take care of her."
Wen Yu nodded in agreement, supporting Uncle Song as they walked forward. "Alright, alright. Your Second Young Master and I have heard everything. You can go home in peace."
With Wen Yu's assurance, Song Bo left towards the inkstone washing area, looking back every few steps.
Wen Yu watched him walk a few steps before turning back to look at Song Linsheng and Mu Tong who were standing there.
The two of them stood on one side and the other on the other, wearing one cold and one warm clothes. Apart from being about the same height, they had nothing in common.
Wen Yu glanced at Song Linsheng and saw that his face was gentle and he nodded to her affirmatively, so she guessed most of what he was thinking.
"Let's go, let's do our job." Wen Yu crossed his arms, shrugged his shoulders, and said to the two people opposite him.
Song Linsheng naturally nodded in agreement, while Mu Tong, who was standing beside him, greeted him with a fan in his arms and politely replied, "Then I will not disturb Master Song and Madam Wen. Please do as you please."
Having said that, he turned around and went back, intending to pass Wen Yu.
Song Linsheng behind him did not move or say a word, while Wen Yu stretched out his hand and blocked Lord Mu's way.
"Lord Mu, where are you going——" Wen Yu's eyes turned and she turned her body to stand in front of Mu Tong.
Mu Tong lowered his eyes and looked at the slender hand that was stretched out across his chest, and was silent for a moment.
Then Wen Yu's pretty and lovely face appeared in front of him. Mu Tong paused, a little confused.
Wen Yu leaned slightly, her braid falling down on one side, swaying beside her. The Mingkun bird in her hair shone brightly in the sunlight, too dazzling to be looked at directly.
It has the gracefulness of a figure and the cold radiance of pearls and jade.
After a moment of extremely subtle silence, Mu Tong suddenly unfolded his folding fan and placed it between himself and Wen Yu. He covered his face with the fan, hiding the lower half of his face, leaving only a pair of smiling eyes exposed.
"Madam Wen, of course we should go home."
As he spoke, he changed the subject and teased Wen Yu, "Could it be that Madam Wen wants to go with me?"
Wen Yu blinked and forced a smile, but it was a fake one. "There's no need for you to go with me. I have things to do."
Mu Yitong raised an eyebrow and said, "Since I have something to do, I don't want to bother you anymore. I'll take my leave first."
Wen Yu's arms remained horizontal, and he showed no sign of relenting. "Well, although I'm not going with Master Mu, Master Mu can go with me. Come with me, Master Mu."
Wen Yu withdrew his hand and turned to walk aside.
Mu Tong was confused and didn't understand what was going on until he saw that Wen Yu was heading in the direction where his carriage was parked.
"Can I borrow your carriage and horses, Lord Mu?" Wen Yu's voice came with the wind.
Mu Tong finally understood what was going on. It turned out that Madam Wen had gone through so much trouble just to get a carriage. He smiled helplessly and said, "I'm very happy to help you. Madam Wen, please do as you please."
Song Linsheng on the side said nothing and stared at Lord Mu silently.
same?
He couldn't describe how he felt.
Until Wen Yu took a few steps forward and passed by Song Linsheng, he grabbed his sleeve and pulled him towards Lord Mu's carriage.
Wen Yu walked ahead first, thinking about Lord Jia's affairs in his mind.
She had something to do, but she didn't plan to do it on foot. Since she couldn't fly, it would be fine to take Lord Mu's carriage.
It's a good opportunity to go and see if we can find anything.
Mu Tong looked at Wen Yu and Song Linsheng walking side by side, and was silent for a moment. Then he followed them, fanning himself and leaving with them.
As the sun got brighter, the layers of fog in the mountain mist began to dissipate, just like the carriage of Lord Jia and his entourage that disappeared into the official road and could no longer be seen.
Birds flew in a row in the sky, forming a "Single" shape in the air.
Lord Mu's carriage drove along the main road underground, through the city gate, and headed towards the destination.
Pingjiang Street, Jiangyang Prefecture Government Office.
The wheels moved slowly forward, making a series of dull sounds on the bluestone-paved main road, which made the three silent people in the car seem even more peaceful.
Wen Yu sat in the middle, with Song Linsheng and Mu Tong sitting on either side.
Wen Yu looked left and right, but no one spoke. Even Song Linsheng and Mu Tong looked out the door curtain together as if they had made an appointment, without even glancing at each other.
"Whoa--" With the coachman's light shout, the sound of the horse neighing followed. After stomping on the bluestone slabs for a few times, the carriage finally stopped.
Wen Yu raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but teasing Lord Mu, "Lord Mu's horse is very energetic."
"Madam Wen, what are you talking about?" Mu Tong turned around and replied with a smile, "My carriage is not even one-tenth of what Lord Song has. I am really wronging Madam Wen."
Wen Yu quickly denied it, but when Song Linsheng remained silent, she stopped talking.
After they finished speaking, Song Linsheng and Mu Tong followed closely behind them as they got out of the carriage. With two people gone, Wen Yu felt the carriage was incredibly spacious, and even breathed easier.
Wen Yu puffed out her cheeks and breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know what the tempers of Song Linsheng and Lord Mu were. Could it be that because she hadn't been at the government office for a few days, some rift had developed between them?
Was it an argument? Or a difference of opinion?
Through the car curtain, Wen Yu couldn't see the situation outside. She shook her head helplessly and pursed her lower lip.
We'll talk about this later. There are more important things to do now.
Wen Yu made up her mind and stopped thinking about it. She suppressed her chaotic thoughts and inexplicable speculations, stood up, raised her hand to lift the curtain and walked out.
A gust of wind blew past gently, and Wen Yu's movements caused the pearls and jade in her hair to rustle. Song Linsheng and Mu Tong, who were waiting outside the car, turned around in response.
"Xiaoyu——"
"Mrs. Wen—"
Almost at the same time, they both raised their sleeves and stretched out their hands, ready to help Wen Yu get out of the car.
Wen Yu, who had been unconcerned at first, paused. She looked at the two hands in front of her, held between the moon-white and bud-yellow sleeves respectively. They were equally slender and clean, and each had its own charm.
"This, this is..." Wen Yu was stunned. What was he doing?
"Xiaoyu, let me help you." Song Linsheng's smile was as warm as the spring sun, humble and polite.
"Madam Wen, be careful." Mu Tong nodded slightly and signaled to Wen Yu.
Wen Yu swallowed unconsciously and looked at the two people huddled in front of the car frame.
This is the Jiangyang government office. What are these two people doing? When did she need help getting out of the car?
Wen Yu didn't think twice and turned around, causing the snow-white waves on the edge of her dress to fly, and the tassels on both sides of her hair to sway constantly. She jumped down from the other end without hesitation and landed steadily on the ground.
"Come in quickly." Wen Yu walked around the horse, not even looking at Song Linsheng and Mu Yitong, and walked straight to the main gate of the government office. "It's important to go to the Tongzhiyuan."
Her voice was clear and sweet, like the tinkling of a clear spring in the mountains, and its sound left a lingering echo in the wind.
In a blink of an eye, Wen Yu had already crossed the threshold, leaving only Song Linsheng and Mu Tong standing there.
Song Linsheng watched Wen Yu leave, then retracted his gaze. He lowered his eyebrows, and a tiny light flashed in his eyes.
Mu Tong pursed his lips, unconcerned. He unfolded a folding fan in one hand, gently waving it in front of him. The corners of his smiling lips were hidden behind the fan, revealing only a pair of half-smiled eyes.
Neither of them was willing to speak first, and for a moment, they both fell into endless silence.
The silence was not broken until the coachman behind him took down the sedan chair and drove the carriage towards the side door at the back, making a series of muffled sounds from the wheels turning.
Mu Tong closed his fan, clasped his hands together and greeted Song Linsheng, saying with a smile, "Sir Song, please come in. Let's not keep Madam Wen waiting any longer."
Upon hearing this, Song Linsheng glanced lightly at Mu Tong's face. He frowned for a moment, then smiled.
"Master Mu is right. How can Linsheng let Xiaoyu wait?"
He spoke with conviction, never mentioning the words "you and me" in Mu Tong's words. Without waiting for Mu Tong's response, he climbed the stone steps in front of the door and headed into the government office.
Song Linsheng stood upright with his back straight, looking calm and composed, but his heart was already surging with turbulent waves.
He and Lord Mu had no grudges in the past or present, and they were quite talkative in official matters. But why was it that every time they encountered matters related to Xiaoyu, they always... got into some unnecessary verbal disputes.
It was like this during the Shangsi Water Feast, and it is still like this now.
Song Linsheng sighed in his heart, but he was more confused and puzzled. He was not as insightful and experienced as his brother. For him, many things were worth his long consideration.
Mu Tong tilted his head to look at Song Linsheng's departing back, which was as straight as a pen. Mu Tong couldn't help but shook his head.
He raised his hand and twisted his wrist, and the folded folding fan immediately opened again. Mu Tong waved the fan and followed.
The back wing is the Tongzhiyuan.
Wen Yu looked up at the plaque outside the courtyard gate with the three words "Tongzhiyuan" engraved on it. The handwriting was vigorous and powerful, and it was very elegant.
Her calligraphy looked 30% more sophisticated than Song Linsheng's.
Wen Yu stopped outside the courtyard gate and was not in a hurry to go in. This seemed to be her first time visiting Tongzhiyuan in broad daylight.
The last time was at night.
Last time... Tongzhiyuan still has an owner.
A myriad of thoughts, causes and consequences emerged in her mind one by one. She remained silent, like the raging waves beneath the calm surface of a lake.
At first, she just thought that Lord Jia was arrogant and unreasonable, and had no moral principles. It would have been fine if he just rode his horse through the busy streets, but what was unreasonable was that he insisted on arresting Chen Mian for no reason, and even threatened to kill her and A Yuan.
Later, when I met Lord Jia again at Jiangyang Restaurant, he was very good at speaking and doing things, and he managed all the affairs of the banquet very well.
Later, she was captured by Cheng Lian and had not seen Lord Jia for several days. However, she learned from Cheng Lian some past events about the grudges between Lord Jia and him.
Then came these few days.
Lord Jia confessed everything he had done and was demoted and then returned to his hometown.
Just when she thought everything was settled, she happened to meet Uncle Song.
The long-forgotten past was uncovered, the unspeakable secret was exposed, and the truth that Wen Yu took for granted was torn into an ugly gap.
She didn't even dare to look inside.
