"Miss Song's mouth is so sweet. Sit down quickly. Don't stand there, come and have a meal..."

Shi Yunlan became more and more happy with Song Yanran. She was beautiful and skillful. Her dazzling craftsmanship in the kitchen instantly made Shi Yunlan look at her with admiration, and at the same time she also recognized Song Yanran as her "daughter-in-law".

After Liu Ce and Jiang Xun took the seat together, Jiang Xun initially gave Song Yanran a stern face. After all, her existence always threatened the status of his daughter Jiang Ruoyan, but when he picked up the chopsticks and picked up a bite of the dish, he was instantly conquered by her cooking skills, and praised Song Yanran.

The family soon started lunch in a good atmosphere, and they were talking and laughing. Song Yanran's cheerful personality made Shi Yunlan laugh so hard that she couldn't stop laughing. She liked this girl more and more. Later, after learning about her past from Liu Ce, she couldn't help but shed tears...

After dinner, Liu Ce refused Jiang Xun and his wife to stay and said goodbye to them. At the same time, he planned to change the way to the Mu family.

Seeing that Liu Ce insisted on leaving, Jiang Xun and his wife no longer tried to keep him. The two who knew Liu Ce's temper just told him to go to Suzhou if they had time, so Liu Ce naturally agreed.

After bidding farewell to Jiang Xun and his wife, Liu Ce and Song Yanran went to Mu Tiancheng's mansion. After all, this time, the Mu family was very helpful. It was time to go and visit and discuss the next business cooperation.

...

At this moment, in the Mu Mansion Hall, a familiar figure was standing respectfully in front of Mu Tiancheng, the head of the Mu family, and his son Mu Yunzhen. There was a box in the middle of the living room, which was full of white silver, and it was at least two thousand taels.

Mu Tiancheng sipped a sip of tea and didn't even look at the silver. He just looked up at the burly figure and sighed secretly.

This person is Zhang Lie. This time he came to Mu Mansion to redeem Xiao Luo. The box of silver in front of him was the reward he received with Liu Ce to exchange for his military merits.

Zhang Lie bowed and said, "Mr. Mu, here is 2,160 taels of silver, which is enough to redeem Xiao Luo, right?"

Mu Tiancheng shook his head and said to Zhang Lie: "I really didn't expect that you are a general. Why didn't I notice it before? Alas..."

Mu Yunzhen looked arrogant and had no respect for Zhang Lie. In his eyes, Zhang Lie was still the humble servant and did not understand the change in his identity at all.

After hearing Mu Tiancheng's words, Zhang Lie continued, "Mr. Mu, please take Xiao Luo away. This money must be enough. After dealing with these matters, I will have to go back to Jizhou to retaliate..."

Mu Tiancheng sighed again, glanced at the box of silver, and said to Zhang Lie, "Zhang Lie, it is not easy for you to have these silver. I guess it was for life. I should use it to find a wealthy family to tie the knot, and it should not be used on a servant. Do you think?"

Zhang Lie immediately said, "Mr. Mu, please call Xiao Luo here. I promised to redeem her. Now is the time to fulfill my promise for what I said. If you think the money is not enough, there is still a box in my car, which should be enough to redeem Xiao Luo."

Seeing that Zhang Lie insisted on redeeming Xiao Luo, Mu Tiancheng could only say helplessly: "General Zhang, why bother you? Is it worth it?"

Zhang Lie said: "A man is a real man, once he says something, he is hard to pursue. Although he is humble, his words should be fulfilled if he says it, like water poured out."

"snort……"

Mu Yunzhen, who had been silent, couldn't help but snorted coldly when he heard Zhang Lie's words and said disdainfully: "Zhang Lie, you are a person with status now, so why bother wasting time on a humble and insignificant maid?"

Zhang Lie replied: "Mr. Mu, this is a promise. How can you be a person without trust? Since you have agreed to Miss Xiao Luo, you should fulfill your original agreement with her!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yunzhen curled his lips disdainfully, but looked at others on his own and ignored Zhang Lie.

"Zhang Lie, listen to me..." After thinking for a long time, Mu Tiancheng sighed and said to Zhang Lie with a disgrace, "Xiao Luo is no longer in the mansion..."

When Zhang Lie heard this, he hurriedly said, "Not in the mansion? Then where did she go?"

Mu Tiancheng said with pain: "It's true that Xiao Luo was caught in the cold four months ago and passed away..."

Mu Tiancheng's words immediately made Zhang Lie's mind blank. He said with disbelief: "How is this possible? I don't believe it!"

"It's true..." Mu Tiancheng said, "It's all my fault that I didn't pay attention, which made Xiao Luo's condition worse. When it's discovered, alas..."

Speaking of this, Mu Tiancheng paused, sighed deeply and said, "I am extremely sorry for this. I was unable to save Xiao Luo. Please ask General Zhang to be ashamed of the change..."

After confirming the news of Xiao Luo's death from Mu Tiancheng's mouth, Zhang Lie felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Mu Yunzhen snorted and continued to say playfully: "General Zhang, this person is dead, don't be sad. I heard that you are following the Marquis of Hanling to make achievements, so why worry about not having a woman? Why are you so sad about a maid?"

Zhang Lie was silent for a while and suddenly asked, "So where is Xiao Luo's grave?"

Mu Yunzhen said: "Just a servant, how can you erect a tombstone for him? Just find Zhang Zhuxi and throw it into the wilderness..."

"Straitor!"

Unexpectedly, Mu Yunzhen's words completely stimulated Zhang Lie. With a loud shout, Mu Yunzhen was shocked and felt a faint sting.

The next moment, Zhang Lie rushed forward and grabbed Mu Yunzhen's collar, lifted it up suddenly, and his eyes widened wide, staring at Mu Yunzhen.

Before Mu Yunzhen could react, Zhang Lie's deafening whistle echoed in his ears: "The life of a servant is not life? You playboy actually treat Xiao Luo like this. See if I won't peel you off!"

After Zhang Lie roared, he raised Mu Yunzhen high, which was so scared that he screamed in shock. Seeing this, Mu Tiancheng hurriedly stood up to comfort Zhang Lie: "General Zhang, calm down, don't be impulsive. Zhen'er can't speak. I apologize to you for him, but even if you kill him, Xiao Luo will not be resurrected..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lie stared at Mu Yunzhen angrily, and saw Mu Yunzhen's face full of begging for mercy, and his expression turned blue because he grabbed his neck.

With Mu Tiancheng's constant consolation, Zhang Lie slowly calmed down and finally let go of his hand holding Mu Yunzhen.

"Ahem cough cough..."

Mu Yunzhen, who broke free from Zhang Lie's hand, couldn't help coughing for a while, and gradually recovered under Mu Tiancheng's gentle caress.

"Yuyou, what's wrong..."

At this moment, an extremely charming voice came from behind the screen. Looking closely, I saw a graceful woman wearing a purple-green waist-length skirt holding an embroidered round fan in her hand, and slowly appeared in the eyes of everyone in the front hall with a mysterious step.

When the woman approached, the Danfeng glanced at everyone with a charming look, then stayed on Zhang Lie for a while. Seeing her angry, she couldn't help but say in a sweet voice: "Isn't this Zhang Lie, General Zhang? Why, do you have time to come to the mansion to stroll around today? Or do you want to see your little bitch Luo Er, who is so cute?"

"Mu Nishang, it's best to put your emphasis on your words! You are not allowed to insult Xiao Luo like this!"

Recalling the misdeeds of this woman's abuse of Xiao Luo, Zhang Lie couldn't control his emotions and shouted at her.

This woman is Mu Tiancheng's daughter, Mu Nishang, a woman who is almost as ill as the children of wealthy families in Yuanzhou City. She can be said to be "reputable"...

"Why are you calling so loud?" Mu Nishang just smiled charmingly at Zhang Lie, and still twisted her waist and walked around him, saying playfully, "Even if you call louder now, she can't hear it. So save some effort..."

"I won't leave it yet! There's nothing to do with you here!"

Mu Tiancheng was afraid that Mu Nishang's actions would completely anger Zhang Lie, so he hurriedly started to drink and stop his daughter's words, and then said to Zhang Lie: "General Zhang, I am really sorry about Miss Xiao Luo, but now it's over,

Please don’t be too sad, General Zhang, why don’t you go back first. After a few days, I will deal with the things here. Will I personally go to Yong'an to give you a reasonable explanation?"

When Zhang Lie heard this, his expression suddenly became gloomy and stood aside without saying a word. Mu Nishang looked at Zhang Lie with contempt and muttered with disdain: "Man, ha..."

At this moment, the servants of the Mu family came to report: "Master, the Marquis of Hanling came to visit..."

"Hurry and invite you..." Mu Tiancheng hurriedly said, "Closing it out immediately, and preparing the best tea leaves quickly. Also, please have someone stand by in the palace hall and pay a visit to the Marquis of Hanling together..."

When Mu Yunzhen heard that Liu Ce arrived at the mansion, he immediately shrank his neck and a thin layer of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead. After all, Liu Ce beaten up in Heyang Tower that year, which had become the shadow of his life.

Now, his identity and others are completely underground. Liu Ce has been granted the title of marquis and has an elite army of hundreds of thousands of elite troops under his command. He is no longer at the same level as him. If Liu Ce wants to kill himself, it is easier than trampling on an ant to death...

When Mu Nishang heard the three words "Hanling Marquis", he unconsciously showed a trace of confusing expectation: "Mr. Military Governor, Hanling Marquis? You really make me dream of you no matter where you are. The men in the world are useless, and only you make my heart beat so violently, and you can't extricate yourself."

Mu Tiancheng and his family were silently guarding the door of the mansion, waiting for Liu Ce to arrive.

After about half a cup of tea, the figures of Liu Ce and Song Yanran appeared in everyone's eyes.

"Song Yanran, this little vixen, hum... She deserves to be with Liu Ce's side? She has to use some means to kill her..."
