Chapter 99

Only then did Mu Zhengbai dare to reach out his hand, touch the largest one among them, and stuff it directly into his mouth.

The white-flour steamed buns brought from the county government were large and filling, and a group of people were quite satisfied with the meal.

After Mu Zhengbai had eaten and drank enough, he looked at Mu Yunxiao and Ruan He who were eating white steamed buns with their heads down. He couldn't control his mouth and sneaked over to them.

He could see that his son now had quite a reputation among the officials!

At least bigger than him!
Mu Zhengbai looked a little jealous, and thinking that none of these people regarded him as family, he felt very angry.

He thought that he had to let his son recognize him and be more filial and filial to him in the future, so as not to treat him like an outsider all day long.

Mu Zhengbai walked over pretending to be nonchalant and sat down on the bench next to Mu Yunxiao.

"Xiao'er, listen to what dad has to say." As soon as Mu Zhengbai opened his mouth, he acted like his own father, giving him eye drops.

"You said, what's the use of being so close to the officials? You're not just eating white flour steamed buns like us. They're eating and drinking outside, but they didn't invite you. What's the use of being so close to them? In the end, they're still not as good as us. A real blood relationship is close, right?"

Mu Zhengbai had just eavesdropped on the conversation between Mu Yunxiao and the officials, and he also knew that the officials who had not returned had good food and good accommodation in the Yamen.

After hearing Mu Zhengbai's extremely shameless words, Ruan He not only was not encouraged by him, but almost choked on a mouthful of steamed buns, coughed heavily several times, and could not suppress the smile on his lips.

"Cough cough!"

Shameless people are invincible!
What kind of close blood relationship? Mu Zhengbai was so full that he started to talk nonsense here. There was not a word he should say.

"cough!"

Ruan He coughed several times, his cheeks stained with a little blush. He turned to one side, and Mu Yunxiao beside him silently handed over a glass of water.

She drank some water and then calmed down.

As for Mu Zhengbai's words, no one listened.

He was still thinking of saying something to "correct" his son's misconceptions, but before he could say anything, Mrs. Mutai couldn't help but scold him.

"Eating white flour steamed buns is already under the care of the officials! Even if you eat it, you can't stop your mouth. What nonsense can you say to Xiao'er! Don't let me hear these words next time."

Mrs. Mu Tai's majesty was still there, and she scolded her with a straight face. Mu Zhengbai, who spoke directly, could not refute a word, so he hesitantly exposed it.

Mu Zhengbai was scolded and had just calmed down for a while. When he turned around, he saw Mu Yuanyuan puffing out her cheeks and chewing the steamed bun carefully, her big black grape-like eyes rolling around, she was quite cute.

Aunt Zong was an honest and dutiful person with a somewhat humble background. She gave birth to a little daughter after marrying into the Marquis's residence, and she didn't see Mu Zhengbai many times throughout the year.

Mu Zhengbai noticed for a moment that his little daughter was quite cute. He muttered something, walked over, stretched out his hands, and showed a greasy smile on his decadent old face.

"Yuanyuan is good! Give daddy a hug!"

Since Mu Yuanyuan was born, he had never asked about this inconspicuous aunt Zong and his little daughter. Now he suddenly remembered that no one was willing to talk to him, so he wanted to experience the deep love between father and daughter.

Mu Yuanyuan was happily nibbling a big white steamed bun in her hand. When she heard this, fear and vigilance suddenly appeared in her big eyes. She stared at Mu Zhengbai in fear, and she hid in her mother's arms in fear. inside.

On the last trip on the boat, Mu Zhengbai shamelessly took the food from Mu Yuanyuan's hand. This time, he wanted to act out the love between father and daughter. Mu Yuanyuan was full of vigilance and fear towards him, for fear that he would do it again. The steamed buns in his hand were snatched away.

"Daddy, don't grab Yuanyuan's steamed buns!"

The childish voice was shouted unconsciously out of fear. The movement was not small, and all the prisoners and officials around him looked over.The two officials also knew that Mu Zhengbai was not a good person, and they were afraid that he would cause trouble again for no reason, so they gave him a threatening glance as a warning.

Aunt Zong hurriedly protected her daughter, her timid and honest eyes were full of vigilance, for fear that Mu Zhengbai would go crazy again and try to take Mu Yuanyuan away.

Mu Yuanyuan's words clearly reached the ears of many people. Seeing the vigilant looks of the mother and daughter, Mu Zhengbai felt his face was dull. He cursed twice angrily and vented his anger on Aunt Zong. On the curse.

Due to the warning from the official, Mu Zhengbai only dared to curse a few words. Aunt Zong tolerated the two curses and softly coaxed the frightened Mu Yuanyuan.

Fortunately, the child's emotions came and went quickly. Aunt Zong gave her a few words of coaxing, and Mu Yuanyuan happily continued to eat the steamed buns.

Mu Zhengbai cursed and walked to the other side, muttering in his mouth, already thinking of going elsewhere.

"It would be great if Madam were here. Hong'er and Shuang'er are so good, not like these white-eyed wolves!"

No one took his words seriously at all.

What's more important is that Zhang's father is the magistrate of Tongzhou. If he and his wife were together, he would be enjoying the blessings in Tongzhou by now, not just grabbing white-flour steamed buns with a group of people here.

Thinking of this, Mu Zhengbai sighed and thought about where his wife was.

the other side.

Ruan He finished eating a whole white flour bun, clapped his hands, stood up, and walked outside.

She was different from other prisoners. The two officers would not restrict her movements and were polite to her.

Mu Yunxiao, who was beside him, looked at her actions, his expression moved slightly, and he asked.

"Where are you going?"

Ruan He responded vaguely: "It's okay, I'll go out for a walk and get some fresh air."

Hearing this, Mu Yunxiao immediately stood up, walked to her side, and said warmly: "I will accompany you, Madam."

Ruan He had something to do when he went out this time. Her space was a secret, so it was impossible for Mu Yunxiao to follow her.

It's not that she doesn't trust Mu Yunxiao, it's just that in the eyes of people here, her space is a mysterious and mysterious thing that cannot be explained at all.

"It's okay. You don't need anyone to accompany you. I'll just walk around for a couple of times and come back. It'll be quick."

The words were clearly meant to be evasive. Mu Yunxiao understood the meaning of her words and responded softly. Without asking any further questions, he sat back down.

"Come back soon, madam, and pay attention to your safety."

When Ruan He went out, he looked back at Mu Yunxiao, who was watching her without any concealment, but he also sat obediently and waited for her to come back.

Naturally, she felt that Mu Yunxiao was very obedient.

She curled her lips, laughed at her ridiculous idea, shook her head slightly, and then walked out.

Mu Yunxiao was tall, with angular and cold features. He was also a general who was stained with human blood on the battlefield. He could not be associated with the word obedient.
