As soon as they entered, they saw that the people of the Mu Family had stopped what they were doing and were glaring at them fiercely.
Lin Mengya and Xiu were fine, but Lin Mengwu could not help but shrink back and grab Shangguan Qing's hand.
Mu Zhen kept looking at the four women behind him from the corner of his eye.
Although he knew the intention of the young master, the behavior of the four women behind him was really different.
No wonder the young master insisted on letting Su Mei be the hostage.
Finally, under the piercing eyes of those people, they smoothly passed through the front yard.
Unexpectedly, they were stopped by someone when they entered the inner yard.
"Mu Zhen, who are they?"
It was a delicate girl who appeared in front of Lin Mengya.
The girl was only in her teens, but she was very cute and had an innocent look on her face.
But Lin Mengya could tell at a glance that the girl was a beautiful scorpion who could stab people to death.
Behind the young lady were two identical twin girls. Obviously, they were her personal maids.
At this moment, the girl was looking at them curiously.
Mu Zhen said to the girl respectfully.
"Miss Lin, these four are the guests specially invited by the young master from the Gong Family. They will stay in our mansion for the time being. "
Miss Lin?
Lin Mengya went through the information about Mu Yucheng in her mind.
It was said that his mother's family was very powerful, so when Mu Yucheng was fighting for the position of the heir, he borrowed the power of his maternal grandfather.
It seemed that this cousin was not that simple.
She looked at the other party calmly, and the other party did the same.
Just when the two of them were secretly competing, they heard Lin Mengwu, who was behind her, said in a very intimate manner.
"So you're Miss Song. I've heard a lot about you. You're really extraordinary after seeing you today. Miss Song, I'm Gong Wu. I'll have to trouble you in the future. "
Being interrupted by Lin Mengwu, the two people looked away at the same time.
Song Lin 'er hid the annoyance in her heart and smiled sweetly, looking more like a pure and innocent girl.
"Miss Gong, don't say that. I'm just a guest. Since we'll be together in the future, we should naturally get along well. Mu Zhen, don't neglect the two of them. You two, I still have things to do, so I won't pay you. If you have the chance in the future, you two can come to my place to have tea and chat. "
Lin Mengya nodded and her attitude was a little cold.
On the other hand, Lin Mengwu, who was standing beside her, seemed to be very familiar with her.
Seeing that Song Lin 'er had disappeared, Lin Mengwu pretended to be in a dilemma.
"Sir, it's not that Wu 'er wants to talk too much, but this Miss Song is so innocent and adorable. Why do you have to pull a long face? It's no wonder. Mister was born in a scholarly family, so you don't really understand the interactions between the young ladies of aristocratic families. In the future, Mister should just watch how I do it. "
Why are you looking at her?
He wondered where Lin Mengwu got her confidence from.
Lin Mengya ignored her and walked straight into the inner courtyard.
"Sir, I'm doing this for you. Don't be ungrateful."
After leaving the Gong Family, Lin Mengwu's attitude toward Su Mei became even more impolite, perhaps because she was sure that Su Mei did not have the ability to return to the Gong Family.
Lin Mengya did not take it to heart at all. This was the Mu Family. Even if Gong Tu was in cahoots with the Mu Family, Lin Mengwu did not have the final say here.
Soon, they arrived at the guest hall.
There was a burning sandalwood incense in the room.
Lin Mengya found it ridiculous. This was obviously the Asura Hell. How could there be such a clean and elegant sandalwood incense?
Mu Yucheng was really a person who did not care about anything.
In short, he was a lunatic.
There was no common sense in dealing with a lunatic.
"Please take a seat, I'll inform the young master."
Just as they sat down, someone served them tea.
The one who served tea was an ordinary maid, but she was trembling with fear and seemed a little timid.
Obviously, it was not easy to be a servant in the Mu Family.
Not long after, footsteps could be heard coming from outside.
"Mr. Su, Miss Wu, the young master is here."
Mu Zhen's voice rang out again. Lin Mengya tensed up.
She stood up and bowed elegantly to Mu Yucheng.
"Please take a seat."
His cold voice reminded her of the frozen river in the twelfth month.
It was as if everything would be frozen by him.
Talking to him was like walking on thin ice.
A little carelessness could lead to death by his coldness.
Unfortunately, there was someone who was blind enough to send himself to the top.
"Thank you, Young Master Mu."
Her soft and sweet voice was as greasy as cold lard at this moment.
Lin Mengya sighed inwardly at him for digging his own grave, but she did not show it on her face.
She was hoping that they would bite each other. But obviously, Mu Yucheng did not give her the chance.
"I think Mr. Su Mei is clear about what happened to Gong Shang, right? I'll cut to the chase. I invited you here in the hope that the Gong Family can find out the truth as soon as possible. I won't make things difficult for Mr. Su Mei here. "
His explanation made Lin Mengya realize the situation she was in.
"Yes, I understand."
She did not try to say anything else to Mu Yucheng. She even hoped that during this period of time, Mu Yucheng would communicate with her as little as possible.
This man's body carried the smell of death.
She was a person full of hope for life, so it was better to stay as far away from him as possible.
"It's good that you understand."
Mu Yucheng's eyes never left Su Mei.
He had met quite a few people, but very few people gave him a feeling that he couldn't fathom.
He had the fortune to meet the Eldest Miss of the Gong Family once.
Even though everyone thought that she was just a vase, he could still see a trace of emotion hidden deep within her.
And now, Su Mei made him feel the same way.
No wonder Gong Ya asked her to guard the Gong Family after her disappearance.
But it was still unknown whether she had the ability.
"If there's nothing else, Young Master, can Su Mei leave?"
She asked in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. Mu Yucheng nodded in agreement.
She heaved a sigh of relief when she was far away from Mu Yucheng.
Just now, she almost thought that she was going to be seen through.
Mu Yucheng's observation skills far surpassed those of ordinary people.
In front of him, those with slightly weaker cultivation would definitely be seen through.
Fortunately, with the Shen Nung system, she could control her facial expressions and even her breathing.
He should not have found out anything, right?
After calming down the uneasiness in her heart, she came to a quiet courtyard under the guidance of Mu Zhen.
"This is the courtyard for Mr. Su Mei to stay in temporarily. In a while, there will be two old maids waiting for your orders outside the door. If there's anything that you're not used to here, you can ask them to tell me. "
She took a quick look. It was not shabby.
The two old maids must be here to look after her.
But since she was here as a hostage, she did not expect to live a good life.
"In that case, I'll have to trouble you."
She led Xiu in and led the way.
Lin Mengwu, who was behind her, looked gloomy. But when she saw the courtyard she was staying in, she looked a little happy.
Mu Yucheng must be trying to make things difficult for Su Mei with such a shabby courtyard.
But Lin Mengwu was different. After all, Uncle Tu had sent someone to tell her that she had colluded with the Mu Family.
"What about us?"
She questioned Mu Zhen bluntly. But the latter glanced at them coldly and pointed to the front.
"Since you're the young lady of the Gong Family, we can't neglect you. Please, come with me. "
Lin Mengwu was very proud. She glanced mockingly at Su Mei's courtyard and followed Mu Zhen.
The environment in the courtyard was not bad. The surroundings were quiet, and there were some wild flowers blooming in the courtyard.
Xiu carefully checked inside and out. After making sure there was nothing in it, she began to set up.
They did not bring many things. Most of them were clothes and daily necessities.
The room was spacious and tidy. It was not bad for a hostage.
"I thought they were going to lock us up."
After Xiu finished tidying up, she massaged her shoulders and whispered something to her.
"This is how the big aristocratic families do things. These big aristocratic families still have to put on a good show."
But on the inside, it was filthy to the extreme.
Soon, two very smart and capable looking old maids came outside.
"Mr. Su, we'll be responsible for serving you outside from now on. The Mu Family has many rules. If there's nothing important, please don't go out casually, lest we get into trouble. "
The two old maids were not polite at all.
Xiu was about to argue back, but she was stopped by the old maids.
"I know."
Xiu was a little surprised to see the two old maids acting so arrogantly. Sister Ya, who had always been very aggressive, "died" at this time.
"Why are you so anxious? What's going to happen will happen."
These two were not even pawns.
If she were to lose her temper now, it would be a waste of her time.
She closed her eyes to rest. It was about time for Eldest Brother and the others to arrive.
She hoped that they would be able to take Second Brother away smoothly.
In the study of the small courtyard, Mu Yucheng was dealing with family affairs.
"Bang!" The door was violently pushed open.
Song Lin 'er pouted and walked up to him discontentedly.
"Cousin, you've gone too far!"
Hearing this, Mu Yucheng raised his eyes and looked at her indifferently.
"What's wrong?"
"How dare you ask me what's wrong? Let me ask you, why did you let me live with that idiot?"
She was furious at the mention of this matter.
That idiot was a member of the Gong Family and had not been officially recognized by the Gong Family. Who knew where this bastard came from?
Unexpectedly, her cousin arranged for her to live in the same courtyard as her.
Wasn't he sincere to make her eyes suffer?
