Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

Chapter 175 Ancestral Hall

When Mu Jinrong was invited over by the servant, he vaguely realized that his actions today might have been discovered by his father.

Although he didn't know how his father found out, he clearly remembered what his sister said.

If he was discovered, he must not betray his sister, otherwise there would be no one to protect his mother.

So he won't say anything.

Mu Jinrong fixed his gaze firmly.

Mu Wenyu looked at Jinrong with a complicated expression, and after a moment he asked, "Jinrong, did you go to Xiangfangzhai and buy ten boxes of ylang-ylang incense?"

Mu Jinrong stood there and blinked nervously. He had already prepared himself to be punished by his father, but why was his mother here too?

"No, I haven't been there. What is Yilanxiang?" Mu Jinrong explained calmly, looking very confident.

Now even Xu Jingshu and Lin Xueruo, who were watching from the side, looked at Mu Jinrong in surprise.

If the shop owner hadn't pointed out Mu Jinrong, they would have thought that Mu Jinrong was wrongly accused!

Mu Wenyu asked again in a cold voice, "You really don't know?!"

Mu Jinrong looked aggrieved, "I don't know."

The little child stood there with a natural expression, as if his father was bullying someone.

Lin Xueruo looked at Jinrong, who seemed a little unfamiliar at the moment, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Obviously Jinrong is a sensible and well-behaved child?

How did he become what he is now?

Mu Wenyu shouted in a low voice, "Kneel down!"

Mu Jinrong's body trembled, and he knelt down obediently. His dark eyes still looked at his father in confusion and asked, "Father?"

Mu Jinrong suddenly found that he seemed to be getting more and more skilled at lying, as if he was born to be a bad boy.

He never looked at his mother from beginning to end, as if he could imagine that his mother was not there.

Mu Wenyu looked at the child in front of him. How dare he lie to him?

"The boss of Xiangxiangzhai and the servants in Jinbai Courtyard have pointed you out. What else can you say?"

Mu Jinrong lowered his head. It turned out that he had so many loopholes.

There was only indifference on his young face, "No, father."

"As long as you tell me who is behind this, I will let you off easily." Mu Wenyu said.

Mu Jinrong blinked, and brought out all his hatred after his mother was injured. "There is no mastermind behind this. It was me who did it. I hate their condescending gazes and their sarcastic voices, so I want to destroy them!"

Lin Xueruo didn't believe at all that Jinrong would do this. There must be someone instructing him!

"Jinrong, tell me, who told you to do this? Don't lie to me!"

Mu Jinrong said nothing and turned his eyes away stiffly, not looking at his mother.

Xu Jingshu was amused by this boy, but it did not affect her desire to put the blame on him. "Since he has admitted it, let him apologize to my son!"

Mu Wenyu was so angry that she almost laughed, "You did it? Well, let me ask you, do you know what Yilanxiang is used for?"

Mu Jinrong paused. He really didn't know what ylang-ylang incense was used for, but it was definitely not an ordinary incense.

Although he didn't know, he couldn't let on, so he could only say, "I know."

But as soon as he said this, Mu Jinrong's heart skipped a beat. He shouldn't have answered his father's question!

"Then why don't you tell me what Yilanxiang does?"

Mu Jinrong: ...

Mu Wenyu looked at Jinrong coldly, "Even if you don't tell me, I will find out. You'd better tell me now, otherwise..."

Mu Jinrong remained silent, but lowered his eyelashes.

"Someone, come here, lock him up in the ancestral hall! Don't let anyone bring him food until he tells the truth!"

Mu Wenyu said indifferently.

If you don’t want to talk about it, then don’t eat it!

"Husband, Jinrong must have been instigated. Give me some more time and I will find out!" Lin Xueruo begged.

If Jinrong was crippled, how could she still have the confidence to compete with Xu Jingshu? !

Mu Wenyu gave Xue Niang a complicated look, but said mercilessly, "No need, wait until he has thought it through before coming out!"

After watching such a good show, Xu Jingshu felt much better, but she still felt that the master's punishment was too light. The boy should be allowed to experience the things he bought himself!

She didn't want to see the master and that woman anymore, she also wanted to go and check on Jinbai's situation!

Her poor child, she was the only one who remembered to comfort Jinbai.

Mu Jinrong was taken to the ancestral hall by a servant, and someone was watching him kneeling in the hall.

But he still said nothing, and this situation even made him more determined.

He couldn't tell anyone. He was locked up alone. His sister could still protect his mother, but if he told anyone, his sister would also be locked up.

Then who will protect my mother?

Father?

My father only protected my mother after something happened, which was of no use.

Mu Wenyu coaxed Xue Niang back to the courtyard, then called a doctor, "Take my pulse. What's the reason why I can't control my emotions recently?"

After the young doctor felt the patient's pulse for a while, an incredible expression appeared on his face. "Master, you are poisoned!"

Mu Wenyu was not surprised at all, but was a little confused about how he was poisoned.

"Master, this poison is a chronic poison. If it is not detected in the early stage, it will directly cause death in the later stage."

Mu Wenyu asked directly, "Can you heal?"

The young doctor thought for a while and then shook his head. "Master, this poison is very strange. We still need to ask the imperial physician in the palace to treat it."

Mu Wenyu waved his hand and asked the doctor to leave. The servant beside him took out some silver and gave it to the doctor.

He valued his life very much, so he immediately asked his servant to take his card into the palace to ask for help from the imperial physician.

Shen Qiu tossed the silver in his hand with a smile on his face. Didn't this allow him to find out another piece of information?

He had been tortured in the homes of those minor officials, and the degree to which he was living a life worse than death was just right by those people. If it was a little more or less, he would have given up.

But he still planned to go back home to have a rest, and by the way, he wanted to ask the young lady to win over a few officials.

But who would have thought that as soon as he walked out of the doctor's yard, he was pulled by a servant and ran, and in the blink of an eye they arrived at the main courtyard.

Shen Qiu: No, hehe.

After meeting the master and diagnosing that he was poisoned.

Shen Qiu: Hehehe.

Although Shen Qiu can cure the master, it will be troublesome if he is noticed by the master, so it is better to hide his incompetence.

Besides, wouldn’t it be even more troublesome if the person who poisoned me noticed it?

Moreover, the young lady is going to marry into the Third Prince's mansion soon, and he has to secretly disguise himself as a servant and follow her. If he is noticed by the master, wouldn't it be the end of him?

So let the master go find the imperial physician, and he can go find the young lady with the money and information!
