The Pastoral Life of a Reborn Farmer

Chapter 142

"Help me take care of my brother, thank you."

"Yeah." Shen Ling nodded. If something happened in Mu's house, then Mu Hongjin's location could be told to the people in Mu's house. Presumably, Mu Wu had already told them.

Shen Ling left here, and ran into Mu Wu who came to deliver meals on time every day. Mu Wu was stunned when he saw Shen Ling, "Are you back?"

"Yeah." Shen Ling nodded, "Are you okay?"

Mu Wu paused, seeming a little embarrassed, "Fortunately, my household registration has been left outside and has nothing to do with the Mu Mansion. After being locked up for a day, I will be released. It's just that Hongjin will entrust you to take care of me for another two days. , I’m really too busy these days.”

Shen Ling nodded, expressing that this is what he should do, but secretly thinking that Mu Wu had already called the third son Mu Hongjin, as if he was going to cross the road.

Mu Wu thought that Mu Hongjin would definitely be worried about the affairs of the Mu family, and was afraid that Shen Ling would not be able to find out the news just after he came back, so he said: "My lord is fine and has been escorted to Beijing. Since the third prince said that he wanted to keep the Mu family, my lord It is definitely not life-threatening, please tell Hongjin not to worry."

Shen Ling agreed, and Mu Wu said again: "The old lady is temporarily living in Mu's house, and she is taken care of by servants. I go to see it every day, but it's not a big deal. The wife is still in the women's prison, and I entrust someone to take care of her every day. Sending food in every day will not make my wife suffer."

"Okay, I'll tell him everything." Shen Ling nodded, "When you finish your work, come to my house to find me!"

Mu Wu agreed, and the two of them staggered and left separately. Shen Ling walked to the corner of the prison, and heard Mu Hongyuan shout angrily from a distance, "I said you don't need to pretend to be kind here, and deliver meals every day. !"

"But the old lady also said, tell me to take good care of you!" Mu Wu said in a tough tone.

Shen Ling's footsteps paused, but he still walked away, preparing to go to the Mu Mansion. The Mu Mansion has been sealed at this moment, and there is only a small door in the corner to enter and exit. There are guards standing at the door. , and took out the pass order given to him by the county magistrate, and was able to enter.

But in a short period of time, Mu's mansion has become desolate and desolate, only the yard where the old lady Mu lives is still slightly populated. The magpie is dressed in gray coarse cloth clothes, with no jewelry on her head, only tied with cloth strips, her face covered Tired, he came out with a basin of water, and when he saw Shen Ling coming in, he was surprised, "Mr. Shen, why are you here?"

"Are you the only one serving the old lady?" Shen Ling asked.

Magpie smiled bitterly, "Yeah! I'm pretty lucky. A few days before the accident in the Mu Mansion, the old lady had my slave status canceled and let me out of the mansion, so I wasn't implicated. The other sisters and sisters were all in It’s in prison waiting to be sold again.”

Shen Ling couldn't say anything, Magpie had already said: "Since Mr. Shen is here, please come in! The old lady may be very happy to see Mr. Shen!"

Shen Ling nodded and walked towards the house. The magpie put the basin aside and led Shen Ling.In Mrs. Mu's house, there are no valuable ornaments at the moment, only some daily necessities are left. The old lady is dressed in simple clothes, and only a silver hairpin is left on her head.

"Old lady, Mr. Shen has come to see you." The magpie called out.The old lady Mu opened her eyes and saw Shen Ling, with a smile on her face, but she looked older, her skin drooped, and she looked a little scary. Shen Ling is a doctor. Seeing the old lady Mu In this way, there is also a vague guess in my heart, I am afraid that Mrs. Mu will only work in the past two years.

"Old lady, well." Shen Ling stepped forward and saluted.

As expected, Mrs. Mu had no strength to stop Shen Ling, so she could only let the magpie stop her verbally, "please sit down, Mr. Shen, I am a guilty person now, how can I bear such courtesy."

Shen Ling smiled and stood up. Mrs. Mu had already said, "I heard from Mu Wu that San'er is with you. How are you doing now?"

"It's all good, old lady, don't worry, I will definitely protect the third son and protect him well." Shen Ling nodded, "If there is anything old lady wants me to do, feel free to ask, I will do my best."

The old lady Mu sighed, "There is nothing worth helping. Mu Wu has already made a careful plan. The third boy is with you, and his death has been written on the genealogy. As long as no one pursues it, it won't be too late. What's the matter? The second kid didn't commit any crimes. Even if he was implicated, he would be beaten into slavery at most, so he wouldn't lose his life. The other female relatives are fine. Mu Wu will buy them all back. As for ...It's not something you can help."

Shen Ling's heart sank slightly. Mrs. Mu has experienced many years and knows the world well. Could it be that in the eyes of Mrs. Mu, the best outcome for the Mu family is to be slaved and sold?If he was a slave, wouldn't Mu Hongyuan's future be cut off?

Old Madam Mu didn't know what Shen Ling was thinking, but she suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said, "Speaking of helping, I really want to ask Mr. Shen for help."

"Old lady, tell me, whatever I can do, Shen Ling will do my best." Shen Ling cupped her hands.

"The third boy is a twin, and there will always be a lifelong event in the future. This matter is related to his whole life, and I can only ask with a thick face. Now he is not on the Mu family tree. Please, Mr. Shen, help him do it." Household registration, in the future...after he gets married in the future, I hope Mr. Shen can help him because the Mu family treats you well."

Shen Ling paused, thinking that Mu Wu had eloped with Mu Hongjin, so he tentatively asked, "Who will the third son marry? Does the old lady have an idea?"

The old lady Mu closed her eyes, sighed and said: "I have promised Mu Wu that I will betroth the third boy to him. Mr. Shen, I am not afraid of your jokes. Now that my Mu family has fallen into the quagmire, I am afraid that there will be no males who can get out in the future. , if luck is better, the second boy can come out, but with his character and talent, he can't support the family of the Mu family. ..."

The old lady Mu paused, and Shen Ling's heart trembled. Could it be that the old lady knew about Mu Wu's theft of letters back then?The old lady Mu has already continued: "This man! He is too smart and decisive, just like a double-edged sword. If he gets what he wants, then he can still be used by the second boy to support the Mu family together. , if you don't let him succeed, I'm afraid..."

So, is Mu Hongjin the one pushed by Mrs. Mu to win over Mu Wu?Shen Ling felt a little uncomfortable. For the future of the Mu family, the old lady was really thinking about it. However, is this not the result of Mu Wu's calculations?It's really hard to say who put more thought into it.

"However, if the second boy has to rely on Mu Wu's help in the future, how can the second boy stand up for the third boy?"

On the contrary, if Mu Wu really followed Mrs. Mu's thoughts and wholeheartedly helped Mu Hongyuan support the Mu family, then Mu Hongyuan really didn't have the confidence to stand up for his younger brother in front of Mu Wu.

"So Mr. Shen, I have to rely on you for the matter of the third boy. I, thank you very much!" The old lady Mu stood up tremblingly, and bent over to Shen Ling. Dare to let the old lady really complete the etiquette.

Shen Ling smiled bitterly and said, "Old lady, why is this so? Not to mention that I will definitely help, but Mu Wu, he loves the third son so much, how can he bully him?"

The old lady Mu shook her head, disagreeing with Shen Ling's point of view. She has lived for so many years, and she has met countless so-called infatuated children.What kind of love and love, in her eyes, are all the products of young people's youthful vigor. When they get older, these infatuated admirations will gradually disappear. At that time, who will make the decision for the third boy?Let him not be bullied by concubines and evil slaves in the back house?

The second boy can't count on it, he can take care of himself, and it is rare for him to take good care of the Mu family. After all, what she is most worried about is the third boy who will be married to Mu Wu by her. If you don't cherish it in your hands, who can guarantee that Mu Wu will not change his mind for the rest of his life?Shuang'er is different from a man. When he is outside, he can beat and fall, and at worst, he has brothers and friends to help him. Shuang'er is in the inner house. Apart from his natal family, who can make decisions for him?But now, the Mu family can't support it anymore, and they will need Mu Wu's help in the future. Who can make the decision for the third boy? !

Although she uses Mu Hongjin to calculate people's gains and losses, and cares more about the rise and fall of the Mu family, she is still a grandmother who loves her grandchildren, and she is willing to make plans for her grandchildren, even if she bends over to a young man who is only twenty years old. Well, as long as the third boy can be given an extra layer of protection, she will feel less guilty and feel more at ease.

Shen Ling sighed, helped the old lady Mu to sit down, and had already thought of an idea, said: "Old lady, don't worry, Mu Hongjin will be my younger brother in the future. I will let Han Shi recognize him as a righteous brother, and his household registration will be with Han Shi's." Let's go, my Shen family will be Hong Jin's natal family in the future, okay?"

The old lady Mu looked at Shen Ling, and Shen Ling said again: "It's not that I don't want to regard him as a righteous brother, and his household registration is under my Shen family's name, but, a few days ago, my biological father committed a serious murder, and I don't know Whether it will implicate the descendants, it is better to follow Han Shi, so as not to be implicated."

Old lady Mu sighed, "It's not easy for you either."

"Don't worry, old lady, I have taken refuge with the third prince. Even if my father commits a serious crime, I should not be implicated much. No matter how bad it is, he will definitely be able to protect Hongjin and keep him safe and healthy for the rest of his life."

"Take refuge with the third prince?" Old lady Mu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "It's a good place to go." But she didn't mention the matter of letting Shen Ling help the Mu family get rid of crimes, and she probably understood that the affairs of the Mu family were not at all from Shen Ling. Ling Sanyan could get in the words.

At the same time, in the capital city, Mu Futai had just been escorted into the prison of Dali Temple. He was dressed in a prison uniform, his beard and hair were messy, and he was yelling at the escorting officials, "Where is my son! My eldest son, Mu Hongcheng?" , where is he locked up? Let us father and son be locked up together! Even if the crime is unforgivable, please consider it for the sake of human relations and family affection, let us be locked up together! Let me see him!"

"Hurry up and get in!" The cell boss pushed Mu Futai into the cell viciously, "What is Mu Hong long and Mu Hong short? There is no such person in Dali Temple. Who knows what crimes he has committed, maybe he is in heaven now In prison! If you still see him, you may never see him again in your life!"

"Impossible!" Mu Futai grabbed the railing of the cell, panicked, "My Mu family is obviously charged with corruption and bribery, why isn't my son in Dali Temple?!"

The Dali Temple official, who had been standing aside with his hands behind his back, glared at the jailer, and said, "You shouldn't know, you don't need to ask, you won't be wronged, just stay there!"

After the prison chief locked the door, he followed the officials out with his head down, as if he had said something wrong.
