The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive
Chapter 202: Beauty of the Past
Lord Li looked at the woman who was walking slowly towards him with no emotion in her eyes, and his mind was full of thoughts.
Listening to his subordinates' reactions, he said coldly:
"Shut up! We are here to ask for a favor."
"Yes! I know my mistake!"
When he returned, Lord Li gave him a severe lecture on some of his unreasonable behavior yesterday, and said that if he made irresponsible remarks again, his reward would be deducted.
In order to find the relevant information about the frame-up of Qin Chenyang's family, he ran a lot of distance. If he didn't get this reward, it would be the end of his life.
Soon Mu Wanxi walked to the gate of the courtyard. When she saw the two people standing outside through the crack in the door, her eyes moved a little, as if she was thinking about something.
"Why are the two of you here again?"
She asked with a somewhat unhappy tone.
"I apologize for the intrusive visit."
Lord Li bowed and said to Mu Wanxi who was behind the door.
Looking at the two people's clothes today, Mu Wanxi suddenly frowned, "You guys are really haunting me. Why do you have to act like this?"
After hearing this, Lord Li was puzzled. He didn't know why Mu Wanxi suddenly had a cold face again. Her original attitude had obviously changed.
"If we have done anything wrong, I hope you will forgive us."
"Go away. I won't open the door for you."
Mu Wanxi said this coldly, and seeing her almond-shaped eyes becoming more and more upturned, the teasing in the corners of her mouth became even deeper.
Before Lord Li could say anything, he saw him turn around and leave again like he did yesterday.
"Sir, why is this?"
The subordinates also looked confused.
"Come back tomorrow!"
Lord Li was not discouraged by this, as if he had a vague answer to something that had already been clear in his mind. Perhaps tomorrow, she would give him an unexpected surprise.
But for some reason he was rejected the first two times.
"Ah?" The subordinate did not understand what Lord Li meant, and his face became more confused.
……
The next day at chen time.
The early skylarks were singing in the half-bright and half-dark sky, and in the far, far away sky, there was a huge last morning star staring at them like a lonely eye.
After Lord Li returned yesterday, he suddenly remembered Mu Wanxi's reaction and response at that time, and finally understood his concerns.
It turned out that she wanted to remain true to herself. The official uniform was a symbol of her efforts to ensure livelihood and safety for the people, and it was something she could never take off.
If an official loses his official manners and has no common people's temperament, it would be a mismatch.
That's why Mu Wanxi had such an attitude towards her at that time.
In fact, he didn't want to take off his official uniform, which was a symbol of his career. If it wasn't to show his sincerity, why would he take it off?
Now that I think about it, there is indeed something wrong.
"Why are you wearing your official uniform today, sir?"
the subordinate asked.
"This is the symbol of my identity, how can it fade away?"
Lord Li's face was dignified and his tone was firm, as if he had a clearer understanding of his future career direction.
After a while, he followed the road and came to the courtyard where Mu Wanxi was.
Along the way, his official uniform attracted the attention of many people, and they all looked respectful.
Even when passing by, some people would ask kindly, "Sir?"
Hearing the call of "Sir" again and again, Sir Li was extremely happy, at least he felt extremely proud.
He lived an upright life, and had a clear conscience whether for his career, the people, or justice.
When he arrived at the courtyard, he found that the gate that had been locked had already been opened.
The empty courtyard was revealed, with only one tree, all of its leaves had fallen off.
As usual, Lord Li knocked on the door of the lower courtyard.
Then I saw that the door that was originally closed was opened.
Many tablets with burning incense were revealed, surrounded by smoke, which danced slowly in this small space, weaving a hazy and mysterious picture. The air was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood.
There was a rush mat right below, and next to it stood a woman wearing a white gauze skirt and a white veil.
A yellow brocade belt was tied around her slender waist, and her jet-black hair was tied into a bun, with only a white jade hairpin with a plum blossom pattern inserted in it.
This woman was none other than Mu Wanxi, who had rejected him two days ago.
However, she was no longer as cold as she was yesterday or the day before. Her amber eyes were filled with a hazy light, making her look sad and gentle.
"This is?"
Lord Li was also surprised by this scene. He originally thought that the whole family had gone somewhere, but unexpectedly, they were all gone, leaving only a woman, an ugly woman with a white gauze scarf.
"The ugly Mu greets you, sir."
Seeing Lord Li coming quickly towards the main hall, Mu Wanxi immediately squatted slightly to salute. The white gauze skirt on her body and the gauze scarf on her face fluttered slightly in the breeze, looking light and soft.
"Please get up quickly."
Lord Li immediately stepped forward and picked him up.
"Thank you, sir."
Mu Wanxi said softly.
"Could it be..."
Lord Li looked at her with disbelief, and when he saw her nod slightly, he felt a little heavy-hearted.
"Please forgive me!"
"Your Excellency, there is no need to do this. My family members have passed away one after another several years ago. The only thing they couldn't let go of before they left was the injustice my family suffered. I hope that Your Excellency can help me clear my name."
As Mu Wanxi spoke, she was about to cry, her voice was choked with sobs, her eyes were hot, and tears welled up in her eyes.
After hearing this, Lord Li felt a little confused, thinking that perhaps this matter was not as simple as he had imagined.
The matter of Qin Chenyang, coupled with the current affairs of this family, troubled him for a while.
"Can you tell me what happened back then?"
Lord Li immediately frowned, with some slight doubt.
After hearing this, Mu Wanxi's eyes misted up and a sneer rose up at the corner of her mouth.
"Ha ha……"
"Have you ever heard of Mu Wanxi from the Mu family?"
Mu Wanxi could not hide the worry in her eyes. This conversation had just opened up her scars again. Old scars would definitely bleed when they were removed.
But in order to let her family pass away peacefully and live the rest of her life smoothly and comfortably, she could not care less about that at this moment.
That year she thought she had met her destined person, but she didn't expect that this fantasy did not last long before it was suddenly destroyed by a disaster.
"You are Mu Wanxi, the peerless beauty who was famous back then."
After listening to Mu Wanxi's question, Lord Li vaguely recalled the beauty who had always left a great reputation in various private schools, the eldest daughter of the Mu family.
Although the Mu family was not a government-run family back then, they had been doing business for generations, and looking at the health of their ancestors, they had always lived a life that was envied by the world.
However, no one knew what happened to the Mu family. A few years ago, the whole family suddenly disappeared...
