MTL - Fight the Giants-Chapter 784 caution
Yu's question made Huo Xi feel a little nervous, unable to figure out her intention, he could not help but glance at Mu Yan.
Mu Yan frowned almost invisibly.
"Return to mother, I was indeed taken captive into the mountains..."
Huo Xi didn't think there was anything to avoid people. He explained in detail how she was run over by Jun Mingzhang and how he sent someone to take her away.
Mu Yan also couldn't understand Yu's meaning, did he also think like outsiders, and ordered Xi'er to go to the family temple as an elder?
After quietly listening to Huo Xi, she was about to speak when she was interrupted by Yu Shi.
"This time it's your husband and wife who didn't handle things well." Shi Yu said.
"Jun Mingzhang's matter is low. You two have been back to the city for a few days. It is time to spread the grievances between you and him when the Jun's family is handling Jun Mingzhang's funeral. The world understands the reason of the matter. If you wait for the Jun family to spread rumors first, saying that you first compete with the people as the wife of the eldest son, and then force people to death, you two will not be clean."
"Mother, it was Jun Mingzhang who took me into captivity. He committed a disrespectful offense, and deserved to die." Huo Xi was a little annoyed.
Yu Shi looked at her, "Who saw you being taken away? Aren't you well? The world only sees you well, but Jun Mingzhang is dead."
"Jun Mingzhang is the eldest son of the patriarch of the Jun clan, and the eldest son of the Jun clan's direct branch. He is a man with a broken leg. He doesn't step out of the gate. You still let him go and forced him to death. What do you think? How does the world see you?"
Mu Yan frowned: "Mother is saying that we should act first and make Xi'er's kidnapping public, so as not to be backlashed by rumors?"
Mrs. Yu nodded, "I know that you are reasonable and disdain to pay attention to gossip. You claim to be upright and not afraid of shadows, but people's mouths and bone-scraping knives sometimes become unreasonable when they are reasonable. If Aunt Jun, mother and son operate again, Shaking your position as the son of the world will not be worth the loss."
Mu Yan's face sank like water.
Mrs. Yu pulled Huo Xi closer, saying earnestly, "Although we are not biological mother and son, in principle, I am your mother, and you are my son and daughter-in-law. Now there are only four of us left in the big house, and it is time for us to work together to shine on the big house. And I am not without selfishness. Yan'er being the son of the world is beneficial to me and the Yu family. If Mu Zhan becomes the son of the world, what can we gain? Although I am far away from the world of mortals, But I have your protection, and I can live more comfortably."
Huo Xi nodded, "Daughter-in-law understands. I heard that there is a nunnery on the top of the mountain next door, which was frequently harassed by rascals. Several unarmed women jumped off the cliff hand in hand."
Shi Yu let out a long sigh, his eyes were filled with pain.
"They are a group of poor people. The husband's family hates it, and their mother's family can't go back. Although they are far away from the world of mortals, there is no clean place in this world. The original nunnery has some incense and is quite popular. But their relatives are jealous , they often went up the mountain to borrow money and things, and rogues often came to steal at night, so that rumors spread outside. A group of penniless women complained to nowhere, and finally passed away hand in hand."
In those few days, she got the news and couldn't even eat.
Although she has lived in the nunnery for a long time, if she were not protected by the Mu family, the Shuixin nunnery would not be quiet.
Moreover, Mu Yan always has a relationship with her as an heir and mother. He is better as the eldest son than the second wife, so that the Yu family can continue to grow and prosper in Yunnan.
Mu Yan thought for a moment, and understood what Yu said.
"I remember what my mother said. I originally disdained to compete with the Jun clan. When I was young, Jun Mingzhang wanted my life several times. I had countless opportunities to kill him, but it is better to let him suffer than to die." It's good to settle it once and for all. But he didn't want to keep him alive, so he set his mind on Xi'er. Mother is right, even if we are right, we don't care about the gossip outside, the Jun family has lost one person this time, and will definitely spare no effort to slander me outside Husband and wife, we really should act first."
Yu smiled, "It's good if you think about it. Many times, you think you are acting like a gentleman, but you will inevitably suffer from villains. Even if you defend well, villains always use tricks in the dark, which is annoying." .”
"What my mother said is true. Thank you for your teaching."
Seeing that this heir respects her, Mrs. Yu feels relieved.
Actually, she didn't have many chances to get along with him. When he was young, he was in Yunnan, and he was always raised by the side of Old Hou Ye and Xian Hou Ye. He was raised in the front yard and had no contact with her. Later, after Xian Hou Ye left, he went to Beijing as a hostage, and the mother and son had no relationship. opportunity to get along.
Although there are occasional letters, they are also routine greetings.
"Now the eldest family still depends on your husband and wife for support. You need to think twice before doing anything, and don't act on your own will. The Jun family has only been in business for more than ten years, so there is no need to be afraid of him. If you are really in trouble, you can go to Yu's house and ask your uncles for help."
Mu Yan, Huo Xi: "Yes, son and daughter-in-law, remember."
The couple talked with Yu for a long time at Shuixin Nunnery, and had lunch with her before going down the mountain under her watch.
The two sat in the carriage, and Mu Yan was a little emotional: "I didn't have a deep impression of Yu's mother when I was young. I only felt that she was a quiet person who didn't like to talk too much. What she said to me in those years may not add up. Talk a lot today."
Huo Xi squinted at him, "That's right, it's not all due to me! Otherwise, how could there be such a thing as a wife's diplomacy outside? Men are afraid of being accused of forming a party for personal gain in officialdom, and they don't rely on their wives to socialize in private? If not Me, mother can talk to you with facial paralysis for so long?"
Mu Yan loves the way her face glows when she is proud, and she couldn't help laughing: "Yes, it's all thanks to Madam. If Madam wasn't there, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to say a few words to my mother, put the things down, It's time to go down."
Then take a look. Of course it's all my fault! Huo Xi was very proud.
"I think Mother Yu is very easy to get along with. She is a sensible person. Didn't the women on the hill next door jump off the cliff because of the disturbance? I wanted to persuade my mother to go back to live in the village, but she was unwilling."
Mu Yan grabbed Huo Xiqian's jade hand and played with it, "Mother is used to being quiet, let her do it. I have sent people down the mountain to take care of her day and night, so mother will not encounter such a thing."
Looking at her, "You haven't told me what's going on with the golden flowers of the old tea. It's the first time I've heard that you can turn a bunch of old tea into good tea and make money by picking up big leaks."
"Why, don't you believe it?" Huo Xi squinted at him.
"Believe it, why don't you believe it. My wife's hands are the hands that turn stones into gold, and the hands that hold silver. Believe me."
Holding his hand to his lips, he pecked, "It's just that my husband is very curious, so tell me quickly."
"Then I have to talk to you about it. Let me tell you, this tea is ready, but if I flip it backhand, it will be several times the profit..."
After listening, Mu Yan said, "Is it really so good? Tea made with golden flowers, isn't it mildew? There are many benefits to drinking it?"
"Can I lie to you? I'll take you there to open your eyes later!"
"Let's go, my husband will also follow my wife to open my eyes."
