Chapter 110: Steward Wang Died Suddenly
When Mu Lanfeng returned to Ziyunxuan, it was already dark.
The wind was cold and the snow was falling heavily like goose feathers, covering the sky and the earth, as if to drown all the ugliness in the world.
Hong Yin stood at the door of the warm room, looking again and again. After seeing Mu Lanfeng's figure, her heart finally settled down.
Mu Lanfeng flew down like a nimble butterfly, spinning and falling in mid-air. The moment she was close to the ground, she flashed in front of Hong Yin.
Hong Yin helped wipe away the snow on Mu Lanfeng's head, took over the cloak and cape, shook off the snow, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Girl, you're finally back!"
Mu Lanfeng glanced at Hong Yin and asked, "What's wrong? Has anyone been here?"
Hong Yin nodded, "Mother Li came over at dinner time and said that the old lady wanted to see the girl."
There was a floor heater in the warm room, and it was much warmer once she entered the room. Feiyan immediately took a hot water bottle and put it in Mu Lanfeng's hand, smiling and saying, "The old lady probably thought that the young lady had been wronged, and wanted to comfort her!"
"It's getting late today, grandma should have gone to bed. Let's go visit her tomorrow!" said Mu Lanfeng.
"Girl, Mother Wang from Wuquexuan also came to see you, but Biqing didn't even let her in! You were kind enough to treat her, but she repaid you with evil!" Hongyin was furious and got angrier as she spoke.
Without thinking, Mu Lanfeng knew what she wanted to do!
When she thought of the evil things her son had done, she was furious. How dare she come to beg her with such a thick face?
But there is no need to worry. With what her son has done, even if she doesn't take action, someone will not let him go.
How could Mu Xun let him discredit the Mu family? That was his reputation, which he valued most!
"Fei Yan, Bi Qing, it's getting late. If you have nothing else to do, you should go to bed early!" Mu Lanfeng ordered.
"Yes!" Feiyan and Biqing bowed slightly, turned around and walked out.
Mu Lanfeng held the hot water bottle, half leaning on the soft pillow beside the couch, slightly squinting her eyes, looking very relaxed.
"Miss, why doesn't the master send Manager Wang to the government for investigation? He has done so many bad things!" Hong Yin asked in confusion.
Mu Lanfeng didn't open his eyes, but said calmly: "Don't worry, father won't let him go! People who eat grains will inevitably get sick, and it's hard to say whether they will die suddenly!"
"Miss, you mean that the Prime Minister will privately..." Hong Yin didn't say anything and closed her mouth consciously.
"Just know it. My father is a man who values his reputation the most. Only dead people don't talk nonsense!"
Hong Yin nodded as if she understood. Seeing that Mu Lanfeng didn't say anything, she whispered, "Girl, it's so cold, why don't you go to bed early!"
"If you have nothing to do, go to bed early! Don't worry about me here!" Mu Lanfeng still didn't open his eyes, but his words sounded like an order, so she didn't dare to refute.
Hong Yin shut up and cautiously left the warm room.
Mu Lanfeng was a little tired. He hadn't exercised for a long time. His body was not used to the sudden exercise. He wanted to take a short rest as he had other things to do later.
After this short nap, when I woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
The hot water bottle in her hand was still warm. She put it down, stood up, moved around, stretched, and woke up.
The cold wind howled, making the window frames creak, and occasionally there was the sound of something falling.
Mu Lanfeng blew out the lights in the warm room, and the room was pitch black. When he opened the door, the snow was still covering the ground, and there were still a few faint lights in the yard.
The Mu Mansion is very large. When he first came back, Mu Lanfeng stood on the roof of the library and overlooked the entire Mu Mansion, which almost occupied half of the street.
There are innumerable courtyards, pavilions, towers, corridors, etc. The layout of some places is incomprehensible. For example, my father's study is twice as large as an ordinary study. And there is always something wrong with the warehouse of Wuquexuan.
A snowy night like this is the easiest time to relax.
Mu Lanfeng tapped the ground with her toes, and her body swayed. Like a flying swallow, she suddenly jumped up, flew up in an instant, landed on the roof, and then flashed like a meteor to the ancient cypress tree in front of Mu Xun's study.
The light was on in the study, and through the window, two figures could be vaguely seen.
Mu Lanfeng recognized that one of them was Mu Xun, and the other was tall and strong, like someone who had practiced martial arts for a long time.
The sound in the study was very low and the distance was too far, so Mu Lanfeng couldn't make out anything even if he tried his best.
In the blink of an eye, Mu Xun was the only one left in the room, and the other person disappeared out of thin air.
Since the man didn’t leave the house, it means there is a secret room or compartment in the house.
Mu Lanfeng had only guessed before, but now it seems that Mu Xun really did have secret guards!
The fact that he was able to climb to the position of prime minister was not only due to the efforts of Jiang's mother and daughter. A person like him would definitely have multiple preparations in case of emergency.
Some things are hard to do openly and can only be done secretly!
The lights in the room went out, and Mu Lanfeng observed for a moment before leaving.
When she passed by Wuqiuxuan, she stopped and took a look. It was quiet and there was no movement.
……
The next morning, when I woke up, the snow had stopped.
Mu Lanfeng had just gotten up when she saw Hong Yin running in breathlessly, saying ecstatically, "Miss, Manager Wang died suddenly in the woodshed last night!"
It was expected, so Mu Lanfeng was not too surprised, but he did not expect it to happen so soon!
Could it be that the secret guard in Mu Xun's study last night was sent to deal with Steward Wang?
"Girl, you are really amazing, so powerful!" Hong Yin looked at Mu Lanfeng with admiration.
"How did you know?" Mu Lanfeng asked.
Hongyin said, "I heard from Luyang that in the morning, Wang's mother went to see Wang the steward under the pretext of delivering food. When she got closer, she found that he was already hard! She was crying and screaming in the woodshed, and the servants in the mansion were attracted by her crying. I heard that she fainted several times!"
Mu Lanfeng sneered and said coldly: "If you do too many bad things, retribution will come sooner or later! But it's too easy for him to die like this!"
"Those tenants in Tianyuan Manor finally have a way to survive!"
"Hongyin, it's snowing heavily these days. Ask Shuya to send people to pay more attention to the tenants in Tianyuan Manor, and at least help them survive this winter!" Mu Lanfeng felt pity.
"Okay! Got it! Don't worry, girl. We do these things almost every year. Shuya knows her limits!"
"Please help me comb my hair. After breakfast, I have to go to my grandmother's place!" said Mu Lanfeng.
Mu Lanfeng asked Hong Yin to do a simple hairstyle. She was not used to having too many pearl hairpins on her head, which made it inconvenient for her to move.
After washing up and having breakfast, he got up and went to Wutong Courtyard.
The snow stopped, but the weather was unusually cold and the cold wind hurt my face.
From Ziyunxuan to Wutongyuan, his face was frozen red.
In the Wutong courtyard, Mother Li was directing the servants to shovel snow.
Seeing Mu Lanfeng coming, he immediately went to greet her, "Fifth Miss, it's so cold, why are you here at this time?"
As he spoke, he took Mu Lanfeng's hand and walked into the house.
