As soon as Mu Yunong heard the words Mr. Yang, he immediately stood up and grabbed Xiaocui's arm, "What did you say? Mr. Yang? Mr. Yang from Peach Blossom Three Miles?"
Xiaocui nodded repeatedly, obviously frightened by Mu Yunong's reaction.
Mu Yunong was overjoyed, got up and walked towards her mother's yard. To be on the safe side, Li Mingzi sent someone to inquire, and it turned out to be true.
Naturally, Li Mingzi and Mu Yunong would not let go of this opportunity to add insult to injury, and they walked towards the study where Mu Guogong was.
"Master, something serious is going to happen." Li Mingzi looked worried.
Duke Mu frowned, put down the book in his hand, looked up at the mother and daughter, "What's wrong?"
Li Mingzi said, "Sir, today Yu Nong asked the maid to go out to do some business. Unexpectedly, the maid came back and told Yu Nong that a big event had happened in the city. It was rumored that Lord Shuo had a habit of cutting off his sleeves. It was also said that Mr. Yang from Peach Blossom Sanli was Lord Shuo. My male favorite!"
"Is this true?" Mu Guogong was a little suspicious.
"Originally, I didn't believe it, so I sent someone to inquire about it. The rumors were true," Li Mingzi continued.
Hearing what Li Mingzi said, Duke Mu's face grew longer and longer, and he was very anxious. It seemed that he could no longer wait. He was waiting for his daughter's reputation to be lost, and the Duke's mansion would be reduced to a place for people to visit before tea and after dinner. The laughing stock.
Duke Mu sent out his agile guards in the palace and asked them to disguise themselves and lie down on Yang Zijin's path back to Shuohou Mansion. He repeatedly warned Yang Zijin that he must move quickly and act secretly. After he succeeds, he must not return to the palace but go outside the city first. Stay for one night, change a carriage and return to the mansion the next day.
Mu Guo also had his original intention in making this arrangement. He could not let others know that Yang Zijin was taken away by people from the Duke's Mansion, and then discover Yang Zijin's true identity.
Zhou Ji, the bodyguard who secretly protected Yang Zijin, discovered that there were several people at the gate of Taohua Sanli who were always looking into the courtyard. He knew at a glance that they were martial arts practitioners. He felt that there must be something fishy about this and immediately returned to his house to report to Shuo Ling.
Shuo Ling nodded to show his knowledge and waved his hand to let him go back immediately and continue staring.
"Mo Li, go find out whose family these people belong to." Shuo Ling's eyes darkened slightly.
In the time it took for him to burn incense, Li Moli came back quickly. "Reporting to the Marquis, my subordinates have contacted the informants arranged in various mansions. It has been found out that these people are from Duke Mu's mansion. They are planning to kidnap Yang for some reason." Young Master.”
It seemed that Duke Mu was really getting older and he was getting more and more out of control. Shuo Ling snorted coldly, so he would use his own methods to retaliate against his body.
"Mo Li, ask the master to wait at the gate of Duke Mu. Anyone in Duke Mu's house who can threaten Duke Mu will be kidnapped as soon as he comes out." Shuo Ling's tone was cold.
…
Mu Yunong still didn't forget the humiliation Yang Zijin had done to her last time in Taohua Sanli. She put on men's clothes and prepared to go and ridicule her. She told Xiaocui to lie down on her bed and don't let her mother find out. She would soon return.
Mu Yunong sneaked to the back door quietly, and as soon as she took her front steps, she was knocked unconscious by Li Li, who had been waiting at the back door.
Li Li has met Mu Yunong before, and he can recognize it at a glance even if Mu Yunong is wearing men's clothes.
It was enough to capture Mu Yunong alone. Mo Li put Mu Yunong into the carriage not far away, raised his head and whistled to notify the other guards to retreat, then drove the carriage and arrived according to the wishes of his Marquis. Three Miles of Peach Blossom.
There was no business, and Yang Zijin was sitting at the door in a daze. When he saw Mo Li coming here, he wondered, could Shuo Ling have something to do with her
Before Yang Zijin could speak, Li Li said first, "Mr. Yang, my Marquis asked you to keep an eye on the people on the carriage. The fun has just begun."
"What a show? What a show." Yang Zijin looked confused, wondering what kind of medicine this Lord Shuo was selling in his gourd.
It wasn't until Li Li told the whole story and saw Mu Yunong who was knocked unconscious that he understood.
Yang Zijin had someone carry Mu Yunong, who was unconscious, into the inner courtyard hall and asked Ah Xian to tie her up.
Shuo Ling asked Mo Li to send an anonymous letter to Mu Guogong's mansion, which said, 'We will take good care of your daughter, but please also ask Mu Guogong to go to Taohua Sanli as soon as possible to bring your daughter back. '
Mo Li found a little beggar in the market, gave him some money, and asked him to send the letter to the guards of Duke Mu's mansion, while he watched from a distance.
The guard took one look and hurried towards the mansion.
When Mu Guogong saw this letter, he was slightly stunned. The mother and daughter were still there not long ago, so why did this letter appear so soon? He didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but after thinking about it, he decided that it would be better to go and take a look, so he put it down. He walked towards Mu Yunong's yard with the matter in hand.
…
When the maid at Mu Yunong's door saw Duke Mu walking towards him from a distance, she immediately panicked, but pretended to be calm and saluted to Duke Mu, "I've seen you, sir."
Xiaocui heard the sound and shivered in bed.
"Miss, can you be in the room?" Mu Guogong asked.
One of the maids came back and said, "If you return home, please let me rest in your room."
When Mu Guogong was about to leave, he thought it would be better to give him a warning just in case, so he turned around and pushed the door open.
Xiaocui heard the sound of the door opening and knew she couldn't hide it. She lifted the quilt and knelt on the ground with a plop, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but the lady is not in the room!"
Duke Mu's heart tightened, and he walked quickly to Xiaocui and raised his voice, "What did you say? Did the lady say where she is going?"
Xiao Cui knelt on the ground and shivered, not daring to raise her head. Her palms were sweating, and she replied tremblingly, "Xiao...Miss didn't say anything. Miss only said that she would go out for a while and then come back, and she didn't want Xiao Cui to follow."
Li Mingzi heard the noise and hurried to Mu Yunong's yard. After reading the anonymous letter, her whole body became weak. Needless to say, Yang Zijin must have done this. If there was anything wrong with her, she would risk her life to find it. Yang Zijin settled the accounts.
With tears in his eyes, Li Mingzi walked up to Duke Mu with messy steps, "Master, hurry up and save Yu Nong. If anything happens to Yu Nong, I don't want to live anymore!"
Duke Mu's face was ashen at this time, but he had no choice but to follow what was written in the letter first, and wait until he got to Peach Blossom Three Miles to find out the situation before making plans.
Mu Yunong had already woken up. She only felt a little pain on the back of her head. She wanted to touch it with her hands, only to find that her whole body was tied up.
"Who kidnapped me? Do you know that I am the daughter of Duke Mu! If my father finds out, he will definitely pull out your skin!"
"Really? I want to see if your father dares to touch a tile of mine."
Mu Yunong looked up following the voice and saw Yang Zijin walking slowly.
When Mu Yunong saw it was Yang Zijin, he said in a contemptuous tone, "Who did I think it was? It turns out to be Lord Shuohou's male favorite. Yang Zijin, I advise you to let me go as soon as possible. Otherwise, if dad comes over, you will be there." Eat the fruit.”
"Mu Yunong, please listen clearly to me. How come the rumors outside are their business? As for whether I am Lord Shuohou's male favorite, don't you know better?" Yang Zijin looked at Mu Yunong with his eyes narrowed.
Then he said, "I dare to tie you up, so I have a way to deal with it. I advise you not to waste your efforts trying to get me to let you go."
After speaking, Yang Zijin turned around and left.
I heard Mu Yunong's cry from behind, "Yang Zijin, wait for me, you prostitutes are not good people." When I get out, I will ask dad to level this place...'
"Wufu, get a basin of water, wash this lady's mouth well, and seal it with a rag." Yang Zijin ordered.
Mu Yunong could naturally hear what Yang Zijin said. When she saw Wufu coming with a bucket and a rag, Mu Yunong finally got scared and shouted desperately, "Yang Zijin, if you dare, I will let dad..."
Before Wu Fu could finish Mu Yunong's words, a bucket of water was poured on her face. Before Mu Yunong could react, he stuffed the rag into Mu Yunong's mouth.
Mu Yunong's hair was messy, her pupils were dilated, her face was red, her face was covered with tears, and she was whimpering. She was so embarrassed...
Daddy again? Yang Zijin sneered, how much Mu Guoping doted on Mu Yunong. If Shuo Ling hadn't informed her in advance, she might be the one being tied up now.
Mu Guogong calmed down the anger in his heart, thought for a moment, and ordered the secret guards to secretly surround Taohua Sanli. He planned to go to Taohua Sanli alone. If there were too many people coming and going, it would arouse everyone's suspicion, and something would inevitably happen. If someone with good intentions finds out about these rumors, not only will Yang Zijin's reputation be in jeopardy, but the Duke's Palace will also become the laughing stock of people before and after tea. Secondly, it will make Yang Zijin feel that he is sincere and ease the tension between the two. relation.
As soon as Li Mingzi heard that Duke Mu was going to Taohua Sanli alone, she wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief, and put her hand on Duke Mu's arm. The tears in her eyes had not dissipated, and her face was full of sadness, "Master , let me go with you, Yu Nong is my heart, but I am also worried about you."
Mu Guogong gently patted Li Mingzi's hand to express comfort, "Madam, don't worry, I have my own plan. Madam will wait at home with peace of mind. I will definitely bring Yu Nong back intact."
When Li Mingzi heard what Duke Mu said, she stopped insisting and looked at Duke Mu worriedly, "Master, you must be careful when you go here. I am waiting for you and Yu Nong to come back at home."
Duke Mu nodded, turned around and walked towards the carriage that had been prepared.
…
In front of Taohua Sanli Gate, Lu'an Wufu and others were already waiting in front of the gate. A carriage stopped at the gate, and a man over fifty years old stepped out. This man was slightly fat, with a protruding lower abdomen, and his face was tense at the moment. , no emotion or anger could be seen, and his whole body gave off a majestic aura, and he glanced at them with cold eyes. Although Lu'an Wufu and others had never seen the Duke of Guo, although Duke Mu was dressed in casual clothes, he could not hide it. The aura of nobility exuded from his body, there is no doubt that this person is the Duke of the country.
Lu'an Wufu greeted them with smiles, but they never thought that the Duke of Guo had a cold face and ignored them. He stood at the door of Taohua Sanli without saying a word and had no intention of going in.
Everyone was puzzled, so Ah Xian went to Yang Zijin to report...
Duke Mu was extremely uncomfortable at this time. He had already condescended to come to Taohua Sanli. Although Yang Zijin had people greet him at the door, he did not come forward. It seemed that she had not taken him seriously as a father. In this case , and taught her the rules.
When Mu Guogong saw A Xian coming back from entering just now, but Yang Zijin was not following him, he felt even more that this girl had no distinction between superiority and inferiority. It seemed that this girl had to teach her these rules when she returned home in the future!
