Mu Chen came back very late, followed by Xu Yanlin. Shen Jingli noticed that he was injured and asked nervously, "what happened? You're going to fight? "
Xu Yanlin scrambled to answer, "was beaten."
What he said was gnashing his teeth and looking indignant. Shen Jingli could not help but suspect that he was the one who was really beaten.
"Who did it so hard?" Shen Jingli looked at Mu 14's colorful face with heartache. This is his favorite face. How could he be beaten?
Mu Chen couldn't see through Shen Jingli's mind. When he was in love with him, he pulled out a smile and said, "a little thing, don't worry."
"Little things? If you're not worried about King Jing settling accounts with him afterwards, he's going to beat you to death... " Xu Yanlin murmured in a low voice. He was full of disdain for mu 14's lying. Mu Chen looked back at him, and he immediately shut up.
"Really OK?" Shen Jingli didn't believe it very much. However, judging from Mu Chen's expression, he didn't seem to be forcing himself. He reluctantly believed it. He took him into the room and went to arrange dinner.
Not expecting Xu Yanlin to come over, Shen Jingli only asked mammy Jin to prepare dinner for three people, so he asked Mu Jin to come to the next room to call mammy Jin to come over and fry two more dishes. He also picked several sweet potatoes and threw them all into the stove. After a while, they could eat roasted sweet potatoes.
After dinner, the family gathered around to chat, and Shen Jingli talked about what happened during the day.
"I'm afraid you don't have money to live on, so I sent someone to send you two liang silver. When you come back to Mu's house in the future, you should thank him well."
Shen Jingli put the bag on the table, and his face couldn't stop sneering. Mu Jin was playing with the Gobang that Shen Jingli had made for him. When he heard Shen Jingli say this, he rushed up and threw the two liang silver out. "We don't want the things of the Mu family."
Thinking about the years he lived with his mother's parents, he couldn't make a good impression on the Mu family. When he heard that they humiliated them with two taels of silver, he couldn't help it. He even got angry at Shen Jingli, "sister-in-law, how can you take what the Mu family gave you? They're all very mean things. Those people's things will be rotten if they take them. "
Shen Jingli didn't expect Mu Jin's reaction to be so fierce. For a while, he didn't know what to do.
"Jin'er, how did you talk to your sister-in-law?" Mu Chen knows that Mu Jin is angry, but it's not Shen Jingli's fault. It's not Shen Jingli's fault to send someone over there to humiliate people, and it's not Shen Jingli's control.
Mu Jin also knew that she was too aggressive and bowed her head in some grievances, "sister-in-law, I'm sorry!"
"It's OK. My sister-in-law knows you've been wronged before." Shen Jingli is not angry. He is very clear about Mu Jin's anger. If he is changed to be him, he is afraid that he will go too far.
"He also mentioned the fourth lady?" Xu Yanlin suddenly cut in, a face of disbelief.
On hearing the name, Mu Chen's face became a little strange. He could not tell what his emotion was, but he would never be happy.
"Yes, he said that the fourth young lady was very affectionate to the fourteenth master, and hoped that he would return to Beijing and marry her as soon as possible." Shen Jingli smiles and looks vaguely at Mu Chen.
"Poo Hoo..." Xu Yanlin couldn't help laughing. The woman was waiting for Zian to go back to marry her? It's ridiculous. The Zeng family couldn't wait to send someone to retire when they heard about Zian's accident.
Zeng Shangshu was very snobbish. Mu 14, who lost the protection of master Mu and lost his official position, was of no use to him.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, sister-in-law. Zeng Wan'er is a bad woman. She can't wait to get married as soon as the eldest brother has an accident. She will marry the thirteenth brother in a few days." For fear of Shen Jingli's misunderstanding, Mu Jin hurriedly revealed everything.
Can Shen Jingli do such things? Quit the engagement with my brother and marry him instead? If it's a small family, we'll have a laugh, but if it's a big family, aren't you afraid of losing your reputation?
