Splendid lovesickness

Chapter 37 The Truth


The air was clear in the morning. Although it was summer, there was a slight chill on her body.Items confiscated at government auctions will be kept with receipts and recorded.Her heart was beating violently, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Father, did you keep the bills from the auction back then?"

"Of course, the receipt is kept in the carved mahogany box next to my bed." Mu Chengen looked at his daughter suspiciously, "What do you want this receipt for?"

Mu Xuan didn't bother to answer, she hurriedly got up and walked to the bed.Because he walked too fast, he almost tripped.She found the carved mahogany box from the bedside, opened the silver lock with trembling hands, and found the yellowed receipt from a thick stack of papers.Impressively printed on it was Dahong's official seal and the things she photographed. Holding the thin piece of paper, she felt it weighed a thousand catties.

Feeling colder and colder, only one sentence remained in my mind, the truth turned out to be like this, it turned out to be like this.

"What about the shops of the Pei family? Why are they also under the name of the Mu family?" Mu Xuan suddenly remembered this matter and asked hastily.

Mu Chengen said strangely, "The capital is such a big place, and there are only these people in the business circle. The Pei family's shop went through several twists and turns, and fell into the hands of different people. I bought it when someone offered it. It was all paid for by the government. Passed the deed."

Mu Xuan's tears kept falling down like beads on a thread. If all this was a misunderstanding, then what did Pei Zhan's actions become?She wished that her ribs would sprout wings and immediately fly to Pei Zhan's house to tell Pei Zhan all this.My father is innocent, he has always been the shrewd but honest person in my mind.

The summer rain is coming.The sun was still shining brightly at noon, and in the evening, it began to snow heavily, and the rain became heavier and heavier, showing no sign of stopping.Mu Xuan found an eaves to shelter from the rain, and regretted that she didn't bring an umbrella when she went out, so she went to Pei Zhan in such embarrassment, her momentum weakened a little.

"Cousin, are you going to Pei's house? I'll take you there." Xie Yiqing suddenly appeared in front of her holding an oiled paper umbrella.His blue clothes were slightly damp, but his expression was gentle but firm.

Mu Mansion is two streets away from Pei Mansion.After wandering in front of Pei's house for a long time, Mu Xuan finally summoned up the courage to report to the concierge.The sun was gradually setting, and the hot water on the tea stove was tumbling, Mu Xuan asked, "Master Pei hasn't returned home today?"

The concierge of the Pei family is a new face, about 50 to [-] years old, thin and capable, he doesn't know Mu Xuan and Xie Yiqing, but he still politely said, "Young master usually arrives home at this hour, today the madam and the old madam are going to Hui En The temple worships the Buddha, the young master is going to pick it up, it will be raining, I guess it will take half an hour to come back."

The porter said, and added another handful of pine branches to the small red clay tea stove.The two were talking, when suddenly a bearded man opened the bamboo curtain and walked in, "Master Zheng, the master hasn't come back yet?"

The concierge quickly raised his head and said, "Yo, it turned out to be shopkeeper Feng. Unfortunately, the master has not come back yet. If you have something to do, you can wait at my concierge?"

The man raised his eyes to look at Mu Xuan, and said in a daze, "No, I'll give the old lady a boxing gift today and come around. I'll leave first if my boss isn't here."

Mu Xuan's fingers could not help but clenched tightly, her face turned pale.She recognized the bearded man, when Qing Lan lost the Mu family's old house, it was he who brought people to collect the house.

Xie Yiqing also recognized the man, and he patted the back of Mu Xuan's hand lightly to comfort him.Xie Yiqing possessed this kind of magical power, and Mu Xuan gradually calmed down.

Inside Pei Zhan's study.

Pei Zhan looked at the pouring rain outside the window with his hands behind his back, and turned his head when he heard Mu Xuan's footsteps.
