The emperor was secretly investigating Shuo Ling, and Mu Guogong also knew about it. Instead of being suspicious in his heart, Mu Guogong thought it was better to put the matter on the table.
Because he also doubted the cause of General Mu's death that year, although there was news from the border that General Mu was ambushed and died.
But he had always suspected that something was fishy, but it had been so many years, and Chu Shi Youtian was very good to the young Shuo Ling at the time, so he didn't think much about it.
But on the wedding day of Shuo Ling and Yang Zijin, when he was going out from the banquet, he unexpectedly spotted the figure of a man in black, flashing past him.
At that time, he guessed that the man in black was from the emperor.
Because no one would be bold enough to show up at Shuo Mansion during the day.
After that, he concluded his suspicion. Why did the emperor want to investigate Shuo Ling? He must have a guilty conscience and felt that Shuo Ling knew something. Shuo Ling had made great achievements in these years, and he was afraid that he would have two intentions towards him if he accumulated power.
As a veteran minister, he knew the emperor's suspicious temperament.
In recent years, he has become more and more dissatisfied with the emperor's governance. In order to build the imperial mausoleum, he imposed heavy taxes on the people and used money from the national treasury.
Taking the flood in the capital as an example, he was very dissatisfied with the emperor. He said that he was going to provide disaster relief, so he sent dozens of shi of food and a thousand grains of silver.
Fortunately, Shuoling went to build the capital and spent his own money to build dams and houses for the people of the capital, so that the people of the capital could have shelter from wind and rain.
It must be because of this that the emperor started to doubt Shuoling, the money used to build the dam, and the money used to build houses. Where did Shuoling come from and why did he have so much money.
Duke Mu asked these questions to Shuoling at that time.
I thought Shuoling would avoid talking about it, but who knew that he would tell Duke Mu where the money to build the dam for the capital came from.
After hearing this, Duke Mu couldn't help but take a breath. Although he knew that Shuoling had opened a bank, he didn't expect that the bank he opened was spread all over Dongling.
The emperor must have known about this, so he suspected Yu Shuoling.
When Duke Mu asked about General Shuo, he saw a cold light in Shuo Ling's eyes, which confirmed his suspicion that Shuo Ling must have known the reason for General Shuo's death that year.
Then Duke Mu asked carefully and tentatively what his plans were in the future.
Because he was afraid that Shuo Ling would do something treacherous and unethical, which would implicate Yang Zijing, and even implicate their Mu family.
Shuoling knew what Duke Mu was referring to at that time, so he replied that Duke Mu had his own opinions on everything.
The implication is that if the emperor does not do what Yu Ju does, he will stand still.
Duke Mu nodded slightly after hearing this. It seemed that the death of General Shuo had something to do with the emperor.
He didn't know what Shuo Ling was going to do in the future, but he felt relieved after hearing Shuo Ling say that no matter what the current situation was, he would not put Qingcheng in danger.
He did have some prejudice against Shuoling because of the Qingcheng incident. However, after the capital establishment incident, he felt that his work was so meticulous and considerate of the people, so he changed his view of Shuoling.
If something unexpected happens in the future, as a veteran minister, he naturally cannot betray the master, but he will not stop it.
Thinking of this, Duke Mu put the two paintings in his hands, then handed the paintings to the butler beside him, "Put the paintings in the study."
"Yes, sir." Butler Li took the painting with both hands, then turned and walked towards the study.
Li Mingzi walked forward and said with a smile, "Sir, look at how loving the Marquis and Qingcheng are!"
"Yes, I really hope they can continue like this." Mu Guogong nodded at this time and said.
Mu Yunong on the side also walked forward at this time, pursed his lips, and said coquettishly, "Daddy has eyes full of Sister Qingcheng, and he doesn't love Yunong anymore."
"Yu Nong, I am a little reluctant to return home from Qingcheng's wedding. When Yu Nong comes back after getting married, I will be the same." Li Mingzi looked at Mu Yunong and said with a smile.
After hearing what Li Mingzi said, Mu Yunong couldn't help but blush slightly, lowered her head slightly, and then said sheepishly, "Mom, Yunong doesn't want to get married. Yunong stays with you and dad."
"Silly boy, how can a daughter not get married?" Mu Guogong said, patting Mu Yunong's hand on his arm.
Mu Yunong rested her head on Mu Guogong's shoulder and said coquettishly, "If Yunong doesn't marry, he just wants to stay with his father."
"This silly boy." Mu Guogong's face was full of smiles at this time.
Li Mingzi on the side also started laughing. From the master's expression, Li Mingzi knew that the master had forgotten all the previous things. In fact, the dearest one in his heart was her daughter Mu Yunong.
The reason why the master is so kind to Yang Zijin is probably because Yang Zijin has not been with him these years and feels that he is indebted to him!
Yang Zijing walked out of the hall, and when he reached the corner, his expression darkened, and he walked straight to his room.
This Shuo Ling actually dared to lie to her and made her worried.
Shuo Ling frowned slightly at this time. This Yang Zijin, he didn't ask about Bu Yao on her head, so she got angry with him first.
So he followed Yang Zijin towards his house.
Yang Zijin walked into the courtyard. Xiaolan, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, saw her and greeted her with a smile, "Mrs. Jun..., you are back."
Xiaolan was about to call Princess, but turned to Shuo Ling behind Yang Zijin, swallowed the other word, and then changed her words.
Yang Zijin nodded and walked into the room.
At this time, Xiaolan was a little confused. It was said that today was the day when the princess returned home. The princess and Shuohou were newly married, so she should be happy. Why did she feel that the princess's face looked a little unhappy.
Just as he was thinking about it, Shuo Ling passed by her. Xiaolan quickly lowered her head and whispered, "Master Hou."
Shuo Ling ignored Xiaolan and walked directly into the house.
After Shuo Ling walked over, Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the aura exuded by Shuo Hou made her feel suffocated.
Xiaolan glanced into the room with her peripheral vision and saw the princess sitting in front of the table.
When this Shuohou entered the room, he turned around.
Xiaolan was so frightened that she quickly retracted her gaze, and then Xiaolan heard a "clang" sound, and the door was closed.
inside the house.
Shuo Ling walked to Yang Zijin and sat down, looked at him and asked, "What's wrong, madam?"
"What's wrong, Shuo Hou doesn't know?" Yang Zijin turned his eyes to Shuo Ling and then asked Shuo Ling.
I saw Shuo Ling standing up and walking to Yang Zijin. He was about to bend down and hug Yang Zijin. Unexpectedly, Yang Zijin pushed Shuo Ling away at this time, then stood up, turned around and stared at Shuo Ling. Ling's eyes said, "Didn't Marquis Shuo say that he didn't have time to come to Mu Mansion today?"
"Husband, don't you want to give your wife a surprise?" Shuo Ling raised the corners of his mouth slightly at this time, and was about to take Yang Zijin into his arms.
Yang Zijin hid slightly at this time, avoiding Shuo Ling's hand, and then turned his head to the side, no longer looking at Shuo Ling, "What kind of surprise are you doing? I think it's more of a shock than anything else."
Hearing this, Shuo Ling couldn't help but frown slightly, then walked to the side and looked around the room, walked to a place, fiddled with a coal pen on the table, and then whispered, with no emotion or anger on his face, "That child is jealous Is it because of this that you replaced the Bu Yao that your husband brought you?"
When Yang Zijin heard what Shuo Ling said, he quickly touched his head with his hand. Then he thought that before going out, he was so angry that he replaced Shuo Ling with another hairpin.
At this time, Yang Zijin secretly looked at Shuo Ling and saw that his face was cooler than before.
She couldn't help but regret in her heart, how could she forget this problem? If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have been so tough just now, giving Shuo Ling a step down.
But turn around and think about it, you can't blame her entirely for this. If he didn't say that he had something to do and didn't have time to accompany her back home, how could she change her hairpin and wear other hairpins? Thinking of this, Yang Zijin then With confidence, "On the day of returning home, the couple should have returned home happily together, but you had better let me go back alone, and even said that you would pick me up when you were free in the evening. Huh, thinking of this, I You were angry and asked me why I changed my hairpin, how did you have the nerve to ask!"
Yang Zijin expressed all his dissatisfaction to Shuoling in one breath, but as soon as he said it, he couldn't help but feel that what he said was a bit harsh.
After hearing this, Shuo Ling narrowed his eyes slightly and put down the coal pen in his hand.
I didn't expect his wife to be so cute when she was angry.
So he walked towards Yang Zijin.
When Yang Zijin saw this, he couldn't help but feel nervous. Could it be that she really said something too much, but what she said was correct.
She saw Shuo Ling getting closer and closer to her at this time, and there was no trace of happiness or anger in his eyes. Yang Zijin looked down at Shuo Ling's footsteps, counting silently in his heart, three steps, two steps, one step, and finally he reached the It stopped in front of him.
Then Shuo Lingjiang stretched out his hand, lifted Yang Zijin's chin, and stared at Yang Zijin.
"You... what do you want to do?" Yang Zijin couldn't help but feel scared at this moment. What did Shuo Ling want to do? No matter what, since she had already said her words, she couldn't take them back. Then she straightened her back and said He looked at Shuo Ling and said with a risk-taking look.
At this time, Shuo Ling put his face close to Yang Zijin, "I think what the madam said is reasonable. I will pay attention next time."
"Ah?" After hearing this, Yang Zijin couldn't help but look at Shuo Ling in shock. Could it be that she heard wrongly.
Before Yang Zijin could react, Shuo Ling kissed Yang Zijin on the mouth.
Yang Zijin made a whining sound at this time. This Shuoling didn't have a fever today, so why did she feel different from the past.
Yang Zijin looked at Shuo Ling with wide eyes, and then touched Shuo Ling's forehead with his hand.
Shuo Ling could see what Yang Zijin was thinking, so he stopped and stared at Yang Zijin, "Madam, what's wrong?"
"Ah... It's nothing, I just feel that you are different from the past." Yang Zijing was slightly stunned at this time, and then said.
Shuo Ling frowned slightly at this moment, stared at Yang Zijin and said with a smile, "Madam, I think there is nothing different about being a husband."
