Chapter 309
Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly looked in the direction he pointed, but found that there was nothing but a towering tree standing quietly under the sunshine.

"Father, what did you see just now?"

"A person I've been looking for for a long time." Mu Youdao, rubbing his eyes as he said, "Maybe I'm wrong! I've been trying to find them, but I can't find them. This kind of thing often happened before. Illusion, but I didn’t expect it to be like this when I just arrived here today.”

But having said that, when he returned to the county office, he still couldn't help asking Mu Jiaojiao: "Recently, has anyone approached you intentionally or unintentionally, and made friends with you, and even the little lady refused to let go?"

Mu Jiaojiao smiled helplessly. "Father, since Liulang became an official, have there been fewer people doing this in the past four or five years? Now that there is a little lady, it has shown them a way to win over us. Thanks to the little lady's temper Da, don't pay attention to anyone except my family, otherwise they don't know how many tricks they will use to make her happy!"

"Is that so? Maybe I'm overthinking it!" Mu You rubbed his temples, "I'm really old. Now, even Ninth Lady is getting married, and Eleventh Lang will soon grow up and want to marry her. In a blink of an eye, so many years have passed, I am old, old!"

Hearing this, Mu Jiaojiao's heart ached again.

"Father, don't talk about it. You have finally arrived in Yangzhou, so you can relax here for a while! There are many interesting places here, and there are more delicious food. Later, sister and I will take you there one by one. Let's go and have a look."

"Okay." Mu You nodded with a smile.

Cui Pu couldn't bear it any longer, and asked, "Father-in-law, I think you were very nervous when you saw something before. Who are you looking for? Tell us, maybe I can help you too." Look for it."

"Forget it, you young couple are too busy on your own, how can I bother you with these trivial matters? Let me, an old guy, take care of this matter!" Mu You still shook his head.

Cui Pu wanted to say something, but Mu Jiaojiao winked quietly, and he shut up sullenly.

Now that he has arrived in Hailing County, as a father, Mu You naturally wants to have a long talk with Wang Shiqilang.Fortunately, although Wang Shiqilang was shy, he was still a man of aristocratic family. He had a clear demeanor and good conversation.Mu You was well-informed and did not oppress him too much, so the future Weng and his son-in-law had a pleasant chat.

Then, preparations for the wedding started vigorously.

The Wang family's good day is at the beginning of May, and the time is very tight.Cui Pu firmly believed that this was the closest auspicious day set by the Wang family in order to quickly solve the burden of Wang Shiqi.

But the quail Wang Shiqi didn't show any resistance to the Wang family's decision.Now that the man has already made a decision, and Mu You didn't veto it, this good day has been decided.

When the Gong family and Mu Hao's mother and son arrived in Yangzhou, they lived in Yangzhou City, and Mu Yiyi married from the Wei family.I don't know how Mu Yiyi persuaded Gong Shi, but she really didn't make a fuss anymore.

Busy days always go by so fast.Soon it was the wedding day, and the bride was picked up in a red sedan chair, saluted, and the bridal chamber was noisy, and the crowd disperse until midnight.

The next day, the couple got up to pay respects to their uncle.But the Wang family sent a steward over this time, so he is naturally not qualified to be offered tea by Mu Yiyi and Wang Shiqilang.So, after some discussion between Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu, they simply asked Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Wu and others to act as the man's family members, and sat on the top seat to receive gifts and drink tea in a dignified manner.

Since the Wang family doesn't show face, why should they be polite to them?

Mu You was also somewhat dissatisfied with the behavior of the Wang family this time.At any rate, Mu Jiaojiao gave birth, and the Cui family knew to send two daughter-in-laws over to house her.As a result, Wang Shiqilang's marriage was such a big event that everyone in the Wang family refused to come because they had something to do, pushed and pushed, and finally sent a third-class steward. This is enough to show that they don't care about this marriage. .Since it's not easy for them to deal with this matter, only the Mu family can help with it!
It was so easy for this marriage to come to a successful conclusion, Mu You wanted to get up and leave again.He had already planned his itinerary to go to Youzhou to find someone.Mu Jiaojiao was very reluctant to part with him, but he couldn't keep him.

Before leaving, Cui Pu accompanies him to go around Hailing County again.

During these days in Hailing County, he heard Cui Pu mention the matter of building a leisure villa, and he was very interested in it. He also participated in their discussion group and put forward some opinions.However, the more in-depth the discussion was, the more interesting he found this project, so he simply asked Cui Pu to take him around the designated place.

Cui Pu has always respected this father-in-law.Now that his father-in-law made this request, he was naturally happy to satisfy it.So he ordered people to prepare two horses, and Weng and his son-in-law rode there.

That place is in the east of Hailing County, about six or seven miles away from the county government.Because it is already outside the county seat, there are not many people.Walking there on horseback, you can see several mansions dotted among the shade of green trees, and there is a meandering river at the back. The scenery is really refreshing.

"It's a good idea to circle this place and build a few more houses. However, this house can't be built too much, otherwise it won't be beautiful if it destroys the natural scenery here." While walking around this place, Mu You said to Cui Pu.

Cui Pu nodded repeatedly. "I think so too. Of course, in fact, how many of those old ministers are willing to leave their families and live here? I think it's almost enough to build another four or five houses."

Mu You nodded, and continued to ride the horse forward, giving pointers all the way.Cui Pu also kept his suggestion in mind.

Before they knew it, the two of them walked to the easternmost point, and saw an obviously much taller mansion in sight.This house is not very stately or gorgeous, but it occupies a much larger area than the others, and the gate is also more elegantly built, so people with a discerning eye can tell the difference at a glance.

"Isn't that the residence of King Hejian?" Mu You said.He had already known about Hejian County King coming to Hailing County to recuperate from Mu Jiaojiao's letter.

Cui Pu nodded. "This guy has always lived in seclusion, and even when he came here, I didn't see him walking around. However, when the Wei's Restaurant here opened, and when the little lady was doing laundry, he came over to join in the fun, and then Gone."

"Indeed, he is such a person. When we lived together in Chang'an for so long, didn't I only know his name?" Mu You said with a smile, "There is such a person in Leisure Villa, it's like a sea god needle, It will definitely be done. However, if you can obtain his consent in advance and ask him to help you say a few words, then things will be easier."

Would you like to speak nicely to Prince Hejian?If Mu Jiaojiao and the young lady are allowed to talk about this kind of matter, he will definitely agree, right?Cui Pu thought to himself, but immediately threw this idea out of his mind—no way!In doing so, isn't it obvious that the sheep is in the mouth of the tiger?He didn't want his wife and daughter to have any contact with that old man anymore!

It seems that when the time comes, only I will have the cheek to go through it.

Just as he was thinking, he saw the gate of Qiantou County Prince's Mansion slowly open.

Cui Pu and Mu You hurriedly reined in their horses and stepped aside.Immediately, I saw a carriage coming out of it, and it walked slowly forward.

After walking not far, it seemed that they sensed that there was someone on this side. The people in the car lifted the curtain to look at it, and then put down the curtain again.

But just this one glance made Mu You's face turn pale!

Immediately he raised his whip to urge the horse to catch up.

Cui Pu had quick eyes and quick hands, and quickly grabbed his reins: "Father-in-law, we must not interfere with the driving of the Duke when he is traveling. Otherwise, if the Duke is frightened into something bad, neither of us can bear it!"

Only then did Mu You come back to his senses, but his face was still grim, and there was obvious shock in his eyes.

Seeing this, Cui Pu murmured inwardly that there was a problem, and hurriedly asked, "Father-in-law, what did you see just now?"

Mu You took a deep breath: "Are you sure this is the car of Hejian County King, and the person sitting in the car is Hejian County King himself?"

"Didn't the sign on the car already indicate his identity? And if he came out of the front door openly, who else could he be?"

"That's right." Mu You nodded, and suddenly turned his horse's head around, "We're done watching today, let's go back!"

Then without waiting for Cui Pu to react, he galloped away with his horse and whip.

Cui Pu immediately frowned even tighter.

Hurrying to catch up with Mu You, the two returned to the county government.After dismounting from the horse, Mu You threw the reins into the boy's hands, and walked quickly to the backyard.

Mu Jiaojiao was watching the little lady learn to crawl.

The little girl is full of energy, and the previous tumbling back and forth can no longer satisfy her.I don't know when she will be blessed to the heart, and suddenly start to learn to crawl.Look at the small arms that are like lotus root joints pushing hard on the bed, and the short legs push hard again, and the chubby little body is propped up.Then, move the right arm forward and keep it steady, then move the left arm and keep it steady.Then, just as the short right leg was lifted up, her small body began to shake.But the little girl didn't give up, her right foot wobbled down, and she couldn't wait to start her left foot.

The result of this was that her small body tilted, fell to the ground, and rolled around several times.

"Hahaha!"

Mu Jiaojiao saw this series of changes in his eyes, and immediately clapped his hands and laughed.

Mu Yiyi, who combed the woman's hair, also stood aside, covering her lips and laughing non-stop when she saw the appearance of the little niece.

But the little lady fell and opened her mouth to cry.It's just that his big eyes wandered around, but he didn't find that father who loved her like his life was there, so he opened his small mouth, and then closed it silently.Immediately, she began to use her limbs again to prop up her chubby body, and then continued her previous movements.

Seeing this, Mu Yiyi couldn't help praising: "Sister, the little lady is so tough! The little lady of the second sister's family is not as good as her."

"It has to be when her father can't see it. Once her father shows up, she will accomplish nothing." Mu Jiaojiao said indifferently.

The two sisters were talking, their eyes were still fixed on the little girl who had been defeated and fought repeatedly on the bed, and the corners of their lips were full of smiles.

Bang!
Suddenly there was a knock at the door, and the two sisters turned their heads together, only to see Mu You walking in hastily.

"Jiu Niangzi, go out, I have something important to talk to your elder sister." After crossing the threshold, Mu You said without waiting for the daughters to come forward to greet her.

Mu Yiyi's heart was shocked, and he quickly retreated obediently.

Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao was completely puzzled. "Daddy..."

Just about to go up to her, she didn't want to see Mu You striding forward, put her hands on her shoulders and began to look up and down. "You said before how many times you treated Hejian County King? Did he touch you these few times? Did he do anything to you?"

"No! He was lying there motionless when I was being treated, and I left after he was cured. He didn't take the initiative to touch me." Mu Jiaojiao shook his head.

Mu You quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Jiaojiao was even more surprised - since when did he take care of the affairs of Hejian County King?
But before she had time to ask, Mu You's eyes turned to the little lady again, and his expression changed again in an instant: "Did he come here when the little lady had three baths? Then did he hug her? Did you give her anything?"

"He hugged him and gave him a set of silver ornaments, which he put on for the child on the spot. But after we took the child back, we took it off." Mu Jiaojiao said.

"He really did!?" Mu You growled.

It was a real roar, a roar of anger, not a roar of shock.

Mu Jiaojiao's heartbeat accelerated sharply, and a bad premonition hit her heart.Cui Pu rushed over, and when he heard his father-in-law's roar, his heart sank heavily.

While roaring, Mu You strode over to pick up the little lady who was still learning to crawl, and pulled her little arm back and forth to check.

The little lady struggled a few times, squinted at Cui Pu coming in, and immediately grinned and wailed.

However, this time, Mu You didn't let go of her hand in distress, and insisted on checking her little hands on both sides, as well as around her neck, but found nothing.

"Father, the child's skin is tender and has good recovery ability. Even if there is an injury on the body, it should disappear in the past half a year." Mu Jiaojiao whispered.

"You're right. It's been more than half a year, how can there be traces left?" Mu You nodded deeply, and then let go of the little lady and stood up.

Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu felt an ominous omen in their hearts.

"Wow wow wow!"

The little lady's face was flushed from crying, and her little hands kept stretching towards Cui Pu, she was so pitiful, it was really distressing.

Cui Pu quickly hugged his daughter in his arms, patted her on the back gently, and asked in a low voice: "Father-in-law, what's wrong with you? Is there something uncomfortable?"

"I'd rather be mad because I'm unwell." Mu You laughed lowly, "By the way, what about the set of silver ornaments sent by King Hejian? Show me."

Mu Jiaojiao nodded quickly, and asked Hongdou to go to the warehouse to fetch the silver ornaments.

In this gap, everyone lowered their eyes and held their breaths, and the atmosphere in the room was extremely depressed.The little lady wanted to cry a few times at first, but she keenly realized that something was wrong, she looked around with her big wet eyes, then obediently lay back in Cui Pu's arms, her little nose twitched, and she just hummed a few times.

Soon this set of silver ornaments was taken.Mu You opened it with a glance, then took the collar over, touched the pendant below with his big hand, and heard a light click, and the pendant was split into two halves from the middle.And in the middle of this, a black thing came into view.

"What is this?" Cui Pu's heart sank again.

"Some kind of bug's lair." Mu You responded in a deep voice.

Cui Pu's face immediately changed drastically!He thought of the bug that had ravaged Mu Jiaojiao's body for more than ten years.

"You mean..."

"That's right." Mu You nodded, with a cold look in his eyes, "I never expected that I've been looking for him for 20 years, but now I find him by my side! That's all, since he has already taken the initiative to find him You guys, then my generation's expectations of getting things over with."

As he said that, his voice turned cold again: "Now you all send him a post, and we will come to find him together someday!"
