Chapter 2 The Palace

Left ear looked at his departure back and asked, "Why do you think Mu Ling is weird? She seems to have something to say, but she doesn't say it."

Li Minjun said: "I also feel that although he is sad, he is very rational, and he doesn't feel like he died of his own father."

Shi Ping next to him said: "Sir, my family lives near General Dingbei's Mansion. General Dingbei has always had a bad relationship with his son. His son has always moved out, so he may not be so sad."

"This is what..." Zuo Er didn't know what to say.

"Could it be..." Li Minjun suddenly said with an inspiration, "Since Gong Yuntian is pulled out, I remember that among the dead, many of the people were Gong Yuntian's subordinates, or were related to the battle in the frontier."

Left ear canal: "It seems like that, sir, we have been looking for some common connections between these dead people before, isn't that the same?"

Li Minjun said: "In other words, something must have happened in the border brigade back that time, prompting these people to come back to take revenge. Everyone killed was tortured and killed, which shows how deep the hatred is."

Left ear canal: "But today Murray seems to have been shot and was not abused."

Li Minjun said: "That's a possibility that they knew him at all, or that they had a good relationship. Even though the murderer hated him, he didn't want to torture him."

Left ear said: "Yes, I'm afraid that all this will continue. We must find out all the people related to Gong Yuntian back then so as not to die again. We also find out what happened in the northern part of Seitou back then and why some people came back to take revenge."

"We seem to be close to the truth, but we have become farther away again." Li Minjun said helplessly.

Palace.

Since Gong Yuntian died of illness in the northern part of the country two years ago, her wife Lan Ying has been wearing a plain robe all year round, widowed and simple, raising a pair of children. Her daughter Gong Xue is gentle and virtuous, and she is always with her mother, which is also comforting, but her son Gong Feng is stubborn and has a bad habit. She is doing things all day long, eating, drinking, gambling and smoking, and has all the five poisons. However, he is Gong Yuntian's only incense, and Lan Ying can't control it, so she let him go, just hope he doesn't cause too much trouble.

However, Gong Feng is always in trouble. Today, because he failed to tease a woman in the street, he injured her husband and was caught by Zuo Er who came back from the inn. At this moment, he was sent to the palace to announce it.

Lan Ying was so angry that she slapped the table and said angrily: "Beast, his father's reputation for life must be destroyed in his hands."

Gong Xue said helplessly: "Mom, please ask Brother Zhimu to go to Jingzhao Mansion to talk about his relationship. Pay some money and bring me back."

Lan Ying said helplessly: "Why did I give birth to such a thing? Who do I look like? Husband, I'm really sorry for you. Forget it, Xueer, come to find your elder brother Zhimu."

"Yeah." Gong Yu said that, and went out. In just half a stick of incense, Gong Xue took a young man into the Hua Hall.

He is beautiful and handsome, over eight feet tall, and dresses neatly and simple.

Back then, he was originally a clerk under Gong Yuntian's tent. After Gong Yuntian died, he came back to help the spirit and stayed in the Gong family and became the butler.

He has a steady personality and is generally responsible for his work. He has won Lan Ying's trust and almost let him handle all the affairs of the Gong family.

He came in and said softly: "Madam, the eldest lady said, is the young master causing trouble again?"

Lan Ying nodded helplessly and said, "Mu'er, I really can't bear to leave my old face. You have a good relationship with Captain Left. Go and find him, pay some money, and settle it privately."

"Okay, madam, I'll go now." Zhimu quit.

Lan Ying said helplessly: "If your brother has half of Mu'er's ability, forget it, he just doesn't have the ability. Just be honest, that's fine, hey."

Gong Xue said: "It's okay, Brother Zhimu will definitely bring his brother back."

Lan Ying said: "Why don't you be afraid of letting your father be shamed, I really want the evil man to be imprisoned for ten or eight years, and my mother is old, one day I'm really afraid that he will be angry to death."

Gong Xue said: "But he is the elder brother after all."

Lan Ying said helplessly: "Forget it, wait until you have been mourning for three years next year, and you may be able to find a marriage for him. Have Mu Ling looked for you again recently?"

"Mom, I said I don't like him." Gong Xue said, "Don't always be a lobbyist for him."

Lan Ying said: "We are family friends, and I grew up watching Mu Ling. Alas, you girl."

Gong Xue didn't want to hear it, so she turned around and went out.

When Gong Xue left, Yu Niang came in. She smiled and said, "Why can't my wife understand the lady's thoughts?"

"What's her mind?" Lan Ying said, "I know, he likes Mu'er."

Yu Niang said: "Madam knows, but why..."

Lan Ying said: "But the goddess is determined, but King Xiang has no dreams. In fact, I feel more at ease when I let Xueer marry him. I can watch this family and I will not be defeated by my unscrupulous thing."

Yu Niang said: "You mean Mu'er doesn't like the eldest lady?"

Lan Ying nodded and said, "Yes, I asked, he said he just treated Xiaoxue as his sister, but I was that silly girl..."

"Then don't worry, wait a moment." Yu Niang replied.

Lan Ying said: "Is Uncle Fu back?"

Yu Niang shook her head and said, "I don't know. Since the letter Mu'er brought back last time that he was safe, there has been no news again. I am really afraid that something happened to him and I will report it to the official, so I have no news at all."

Lan Ying said: "Fu Boji people have their own appearance, so they will definitely be fine."

"Yeah." said Yu Niang, "Miss Cousin said that the young master's birthday will come in two days. She will come here. If you want to say that she is so nice to the young master, she will come here every now and then."

"After all, the child she gave birth to with me back then, now that the child is gone, she is helpless to focus on Feng'er." Lan Ying said, "Let her go. After the slut is back, you are not allowed to be accustomed to him anymore. Instruct the warehouse not to give him any silver, just in the mansion, and you are not allowed to go there."

Yu Niang said, "I have been doing what you told me, but the young master will still ask the cousin for money. She has always been spoiled by him."

"Oh, it's a grievance." Lan Ying said, "Or, please help me persuade Mu'er, you are his godmother, and you will listen to you. I really like this child."

"I'll do my best." Yu Niang said, "I don't know what this kid is thinking. Maybe he feels he is not worthy of the eldest lady."

Lan Ying said: "If it weren't for repaying the master's kindness and staying in the mansion, his ability would definitely have a great future."

Yu Niang said, "This child is a scheming person. He promised the master to go home to help his wife, so he must do it well."

Lan Ying said: "Yes, with him in the past two years, all the affairs of this mansion are much better. The master is gone, and we live in the restaurant. If it weren't for him, we would have sold the restaurant long ago. I don't know how bad it was at this time, so I can't let him go no matter what."

Yu Niang said, "Well, it's okay, he won't leave. He really wants to leave, he'll leave long ago. I can tell that he likes this family too."

Lan Ying nodded and smiled helplessly.
