Chapter 36 The Ruthless Mo Family
When Ji Nuan woke up, she was in the bamboo house she had been to last time. When she got up, she did not see Song Wangchen. She then got out of bed and went to the guqin, only to see that the broken strings had long been repaired.
She sat down and touched the strings with her fingers, and the guqin still made a harsh "dong-dong" sound. She immediately stopped and shook her head with a bitter smile. Even if it was repaired, she could still only make unpleasant noises.
Song Wangchen heard the sound and walked in with a bowl of porridge. When he saw Ji Nuan sitting by the piano, he deliberately slowed down. He didn't know how to explain to her.
"You're here. This is indeed your residence. I remember when Mo Yun kindly brought us together and brought me here, you were still hiding from me at that time. Why aren't you hiding again today?" Ji Nuan had a smile on his face.
He smiled, but his eyes were extremely cold.
Song Wangchen walked slowly to her side and knelt down, handed the porridge to her and said, "Drink it! It's sweet!" He remembered that she liked sweetness, so he specially made sweet porridge. This was his first time cooking.
Give it to others. He has tasted it beforehand and it is very sweet. Ji Nuan should like it.
Ji Nuan suddenly slapped it away in anger, and the porcelain bowl shattered with a "bang" sound. The sweet porridge inside spilled to the floor with Song Wangchen's thoughts.
Ji Nuan stood up and said angrily: "Since you have never regarded me as a friend, why are you so pretentious?"
After Ji Nuan finished speaking, she left. Song Wangchen suddenly grabbed her and opened her lips slightly, but still couldn't say a word.
After a moment of silence, Ji Nuan shook off his hand and ran straight out. After running for a while, she suddenly fell to her knees and let tears well up in her eyes.
What I was still looking forward to was all my wishful thinking from beginning to end. Song Wangchen had never changed, it was she who had changed, becoming weak, incompetent and sentimental.
But one thing will not change, that is, she must find out what she believes in. Even if Mo Yun is dead, she will still find the truth and clear their grievances.
She wiped away her tears and regained her composure before standing up, her face full of tenacity and stubbornness, and walked straight to Mo Mansion.
After Cheng Xiaorou returned to the inn, she packed up and bowed and prepared to go back to Muxi. She was really sad. She needed to go back and think about what happened recently. She was no longer in the mood for experience. And Ruqin, Rumu, sisters
Naturally, the two of them followed back together.
Because of the incident in Mo Mansion, Zi Jian also decided to go back to Muxi to report, and several people he brought with him also followed back. However, Zhu Changqin and Li Qingyuan seemed to have plans and were not in a hurry to go back.
Tang Siyan and Jiang Yu originally planned to follow back to Muxi, but he was a little worried about Ji Nuan, and Muxi had to practice hard every day, so he thought he could hide away for a while. In addition, Cheng Xiaorou was in a bad mood at the time.
Too bad, if I keep pestering her, it will only be counterproductive. It is better to take a walk first and then go back.
After Yu Man looked for Ji Nuan on the street, she returned to the area near Mo Mansion. She knew that Ji Nuan accepted his death and would definitely come back.
The fact was just as she expected, Ji Nuan took advantage of the night and came to the door of Mo Mansion. At this time, Mo Mansion had already been hung with white silk, and everything was lifeless. There was a red coffin in the lobby, and Mo Yun was lying on it.
Inside, I closed my eyes peacefully.
Kneeling below were a group of disciples from the Mo family. They were all dressed in white clothes and wore white mourning, but there was no sadness or resentment on their faces. It was just a matter of routine.
Mo Feng just stood aside without saying a word. There were two maids on the ground burning paper money, and the fire made a "sizzling" sound.
Ji Nuan was about to go directly into the house, when suddenly one hand covered her mouth, and the other hand hugged her waist, dragging her aside. Ji Nuan did not struggle, she had already felt Yu Man's
breath.
Yu Man let go, and the two of them looked at each other, neither knowing
What should I say? After a moment of silence, Ji Nuan asked, "Yu Man, why are you here?"
"I know you will come." Yu Man did not say that he was worried about her, but just such a sentence contained so much worry, trust and friendship.
Ji Nuan showed a grateful smile. She didn't expect that the person who once hated her the most had now become the only person who trusted her.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and then they found a shorter fence and flew in. Since it was an investigation, of course it was better to do it quietly, so why not just be a gentleman for once.
The two of them hid behind a rockery and waited for the disciples of Mo Mansion who were checking the post to pass by before moving forward quietly. Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps coming from the front of another group of disciples. The two of them hid behind a big tree again, and they just went back and forth like this.
After going back several times, I finally arrived behind the lobby door.
The disciples of the Mo family who were kneeling inside had already dispersed, leaving only two maids still burning paper money. One of the maids had already yawned and said impatiently: "You keep an eye on it first, I'll go take a nap first."
The other maid immediately became unhappy and said, "Why didn't I go to bed first?" The two of them had no respect for the deceased at all, but both wanted to leave.
Ji Nuan couldn't bear it. With Mo Yun's temperament, he would definitely not have treated them badly during his lifetime, but in the end, there was no one to die. It was really overwhelming.
"I proposed it first, so of course I will sleep first."
"Me first"...
Not to be outdone, both of them were about to take action in front of the deceased.
Ji Nuan immediately cast a spell and blew up a gust of wind. The candles in the room were immediately extinguished, and the door was blown back and forth by the wind, making a "quacking" sound.
"Ah...", the two of them shouted at the same time, and immediately knelt in front of the coffin and kowtowed: "Sect Master, please forgive me. We know we were wrong and we will never dare to do it again. Sect Master, please spare our lives..."
Ji Nuan stopped her hand and the wind stopped immediately. The two of them wiped the sweat from their foreheads and did not dare to be lazy anymore.
Ji Nuan originally wanted to go in to worship, but now was obviously not the time. The two of them were walking forward again when they suddenly heard a noise coming from the front hall. The two of them hid behind the door to listen.
Mo Feng stood in the hall. There were two elders sitting on the left and right sides of the hall. The one sitting on the upper right was Mo Feng's father, Mo Yan. He said sternly: "When the old sect master was alive, he brought Feng'er with him.
I have been around for more than ten years. If Mo Yun hadn't come back, Feng'er would have been the leader of Mo Mansion. It is natural for Feng'er to take over at this time."
The person next to him immediately agreed: "What the eldest brother said is absolutely true. Feng'er has been taking care of Mo Mansion, so he is naturally the best choice for the sect leader."
The two elders opposite were obviously dissatisfied. They both wanted their sons to succeed. One of them stood up, pointed at Mo Feng and said angrily: "You succeeded? You were by the side when Mo Yun was strangled by everyone in Muxi."
, have you ever taken action to protect the Lord, or have you had evil intentions for a long time and deliberately refused to take action?"
Another person also nodded and said: "Yes, what qualifications does an unfaithful and unjust person have to succeed to the throne?"
"Two uncles, it is a fact that Mo Yun and the snake demon secretly communicated with each other. Mu Xi enforces the law impartially, so why does Mo Feng have any reason to take action? Besides, if I take action, I'm afraid the entire Mo Mansion will no longer exist, right?"
Mo Feng stared at the two people with sharp eyes, and they couldn't help but shudder. Mo Feng had taken care of Mo Mansion in an orderly manner, so he naturally had some tricks.
Mo Yan touched his goatee and smiled: "Haha... Feng'er is right, Mo Yun deserves it. In the past five years, he has never made any contribution to Mo Mansion, and in the end he wants to discredit Mo Mansion. Such
Why should we save him?"
The few people seemed to be still arguing. Ji Nuan could no longer listen and turned around to leave. Mo Yun
Even before the bones are cold, they are fighting for power and position with red faces, which is really chilling.
Ji Nuan inadvertently stepped on a branch, and the branch immediately broke and made a "squeaking" sound. "Who?" Someone inside made a sound, and Yu Man immediately picked up Ji Nuan and ran forward.
When several people heard the sound and went out, they saw the two of them running away. Mo Feng immediately chased after them. The disciples of the Mo family also heard the noise and moved out one after another. Seeing that the two of them were about to be caught, Song Wangchen suddenly appeared and took Ji with him.
Ji Nuan hid in a side room, while Yu Man also pulled Ji Nuan, and the three of them hid behind the door together.
The people outside the door continued to search, but no one entered the room to check. Ji Nuan looked at Song Wangchen in confusion. Song Wangchen had been paying attention to the movement outside the door and did not notice anything strange about Ji Nuan.
Ji Nuan's right hand was still being held by Song Wangchen, and their fingers were clasped together. A bright light suddenly ignited in Ji Nuan's heart. Is he here for Mo Yun's affairs? Or is he here for himself? No matter what the reason is, it is enough to explain.
He is not really heartless.
Yu Man looked at the two people's clasped hands, feeling unhappy in his heart, and immediately let go of Ji Nuan's wrist. Only then did Ji Nuan realize that he had lost his composure.
She awkwardly pulled out her right hand, but Song Wangchen pulled it too tightly and couldn't pull it out for a long time. Instead, Song Wangchen turned to look at her.
The two of them stared at each other for a long time without speaking. Yu Man looked at the two of them angrily when a sound suddenly came from outside the door.
Song Wangchen immediately pulled Ji Nuan into his arms, and instead held her hand on her slender waist. The two retreated behind the screen, and Yu Man also hid behind the bed and watched the door warily.
"Have you found it?" Mo Feng's voice came, and everyone else looked at each other and shook their heads and reported: "No." Mo Feng waved his hand, and everyone retreated.
The door was pushed open with a "squeak" sound. The three of them held their breaths. Song Wangchen hugged Ji Nuan's hand harder. The two hugged each other face to face, and her hand was pressed between them.
Couldn't move at all.
In such a critical moment, she enjoyed it a little, and even hoped to be held in his arms like this all the time, even if she lost her life at this moment.
"Da, da..." Mo Feng's footsteps were getting closer and closer, and just as he was about to reach the screen, a figure suddenly flashed into the door, and then gently closed the door.
Mo Feng then turned around and said, "You are here, how is the matter handled?"
"It has been taken care of, brother, please rest assured."
When Ji Nuan heard this voice, she felt very familiar. His voice was deep and powerful. Ji Nuan immediately thought of a person, Jia Qing, that's right, Jia Qing. She paid special attention to him and even remembered his voice.
The family minister was dressed in black and stood opposite Mo Feng. Mo Feng suddenly asked: "Someone broke into the house today, do you know who it was?"
Jia Qing's real name is Li Jia Qing, and he is Mo Feng's sworn brother. Before that, he deliberately tried to smear Mo Yun in front of outsiders. Outsiders only knew that there was a capable Mo Feng in Mo Mansion, but they didn't know that many things were caused by Li Jia Qing, who looked like a weak scholar.
Did it for him.
He remembered that Ji Nuan seemed to have discovered him this morning, and asked, "Could he be from Muxi?"
Mo Feng affirmed: "No, the people from Muxi will not come so secretly. Besides, they have already determined that Mo Yun killed those monks, so why would they come here in the middle of the night?"
"What if it's Ji Nuan"?
Mo Feng's eyes turned cold when he heard this. Ji Nuan had always believed in Mo Yun, but it was really possible that it was her.
"Whoever it is, find her..." Mo Feng didn't say the next words, he just wiped his neck.
