The radiant sunlight illuminated the mosaic pattern of leaves onto the emerald floor of the palace, reflecting the halo. Murong Xue was bathed in a delicate golden light, with one hand holding the wine, she walked forward.
"Murong Xue!" A familiar voice broke the peaceful scene. Murong Xue turned around and saw Mr.Du with a 30-year-old man charging towards him. Behind the two men were about 10 female slaves and their grandmothers.
He knew the man, he was the nephew of the Du family, Du Chen Jiang's father, Du Yi. He was in charge of the***Chung Temple, he was also one of those 4 officials.
Murong Xue's lips curved into a sarcastic smile. They came quickly, almost as if as he stepped into the manor, Mr.Du had received word that he had returned. He then proceeded to bring a large number of people with him to block his path.
"Grandmother, Officer Du, why did you bring such a big parade to greet me? Is this a trial for religious offenses or a trial for a crime? "
" Murong Xue, don't you interject! Chen Jiang accused you of seriously injuring him! How did this happen ?! ”Du Yi interrogated in a serious tone.
Murong Xue raised his brows: And thus, the trial has begun. There's no bullshit up front but straight to the point. So, he had to make it mandatory to play together.
“He was the one who teased me. That's why I had to teach him a lesson ... "
" Junk! Chen Jiang is your cousin, he will never tease you! "Du Yi's hoarse voice cut him off, not believing his explanation.
"You watched Du Chen Jiang grow up, you should know very well about his lustful attitude towards beautiful women. Every time he saw her, he went to tease them, wasn't that what he usually did? ”
Du Yi choked. After careful examination, he found that the woman had pitch-black hair, her eyebrows curved like a painting, her face was very beautiful. Murong Xue saw her inspect her beauty. Just then, he spoke again, "Even if Chen Jiang is indeed teasing you, you could have punished him lightly, why did you inflict serious injuries on him? Did you know that you had kicked Chen Jiang until he was almost paralyzed ..... "
" Don't worry, Du Chen Jiang is in contact with me, I will never have the heart to cripple him. At most, I would only teach him a lesson that would be etched into his memory, serving as a purpose to remind him never to tease me again. ”
Du Chen Jiang was the eldest grandson of the Du family, if he crippled him, the Du family would never let him go so easily. He was not afraid of their evil plan to retaliate against him, it was just that he did not have much strength in his current position, either, since his parents could not protect him and the Du family was waiting for an opportunity for revenge, naturally he would not let them do it their way!
Seeing that Murong Xue was still wearing a casual demeanor when faced off, Du Yi's face darkened. He muttered, "You have seriously injured someone, not only do you not reflect on what you did or apologize, moreover, you have the courage to refute our accusations, what an uneducated child ......."
"Shut up! Whether I'm well educated or not, it's not something you can tell me! "Murong Xue cut her mutter and looked at him coldly," Not to mention you, Official Du, have you heard of the idiom, "Like father, Love son"? Du Chen Jiang will never become like this, it is you who formed him. But you should be grateful because the person she seduced was me, not a royal princess of the monarchy. Otherwise, he had long since become a eunuch or lay in the basement to rot ... "
Du Yi spouted," Why are you ... .. "
"You don't have the ability to educate your son, and I, help you do it. With him being punished, he would most likely cause less trouble. Fine, if you are ungrateful for that, but you instead dare to reproach me.. ”Murong Xue finished what she left unsaid and looked at Du Yi with disdain.
"Good, good, good!" Du Yi was so angry that he laughed, what was strange, even stranger was the fact he uttered "good" 3 times in a row despite nothing good, "You're really good with words and pros at messing up the truth with falsehoods ..... ”
“I'm just honest, how can it confuse truth with falsehood?” Murong Xue looked sideways at him, his face was innocent, “I don't find it strange that you don't listen to me. Since the stone, cold truths have always been hard to accept. The truth is ugly, and the world has very few of them who are firm and just. Most of them are broken and unreasonable! ”
Du Yi's face turned green, did he imply that he was an unreasonable person who used his strength to bully the weak?
The fact that he kept replying to her sarcastically made her angry!
"Honor the old and love the young?" Murong Xue raised her eyebrows at Du Yi, as if to ridicule him, "Officer Du, respect should be mutual." You, yourself don't even love the young and you want me to respect the old man? You must be kidding me! "
" You .... "Du Yi glared at Murong Xue, he was so angry that he could not even speak. Suddenly, spit in his throat. Unable to hold it in, he spat it out.
It's blood.
“Ah Yi, what happened to you? Somebody, please help! "Mr Du panicked and shouted. Women and grandmothers surrounded them. Some wiped the blood, some helped carry Du Yi, it was a chaotic scene.
Murong Xue stood outside the scene staring at the pale-faced Du Yi, she raised her eyebrows lightly: That's just a few sentences and it's enough to make him bleed? He must be very weak, I don't understand how he could even become one of the officials of the Shrines** Chang.
"Grandmother, Officer Du, take your time, I must forgive myself for going to my residence now!" Murong Xue casually replied. Smiling politely, he turned around and went to his residence: Du Yi is so angry that he bled, he must not want to punish me now, I can finally feel at peace.
Turning in the corner, he had reached the door of his residence. Murong Xue ordered, “Hong Xiu, come out to take Jiaowei Yangqin and my things! Also, go to the kitchen to prepare some dishes for me .... ”.
From noon until now, he was busy handling such a terrifying group of people. He hasn't even had lunch yet! The glass of wine Ouyang Shaochen gave him and some dishes sounded like a good idea!
"Rigger ... Sister ...." A surprised voice flowed into his ears, Murong Ye rushed out of Murong Xue's residence. Her robes were messy, her hair ornaments swayed to one side, her eyes had thin stripes of red lines in them and she had dark circles under her eyes.
Looking at Murong Xue, his eyes shone. After checking him for any damage, he let out a long sigh, his expression brightened and said, "You're fine!"
Murong Xue smiled wryly. After he consumed the fire lotus seeds, he fell asleep without saying good night to Murong Ye: "You haven't slept all night?"
"How can I sleep after you disappear ......" MuRong Ye said flailing his hand. He suddenly thought of something and whispered, “Saudari, did you take the fire lotus seeds last night?”
Murong Xue nodded, “Yup.”
Otherwise, he would have already died by now!
"Then, how could you come back so early?" MuRong Ye asked, surprised, "Last time, when you take them, you will sleep for at least 12 hours ..."
Murong Xue jerked. Every time when he attacked the attack, the host would be tortured to no end. He never noticed how long he was out. But when he thought about it, it was true that he would be asleep for at least 10 hours.
However, he took fire lotus seeds between 11:00-1:00 and woke up between 07:00-9:00. He's only been sleeping for about 4 hours. What the hell happened
Just then, a purple robe floated into the corner of his eyes, Murong Xue immediately returned to her senses. Staring, he saw a familiar handsome face. His gaze turned fierce, defensive, “Ye Yi Chen, why are you here?”
