"Miss, I'll accompany you." Liu Yue said.

Murong Mingzhu shook her head and said, "I'll go by myself. You eat first, I'll get it dry."

"But..." Liu Yue hesitated. She was ordered to protect Murong Mingzhu and was indecisive.

Murong Mingzhu said, "I just go to the back hall, come to me after dinner. I don't want people to see you like this."

Liu Yue hesitated, but could not disobey Murong Mingzhu's orders, and nodded, "Okay, I understand."

Murong Mingzhu covered her transparent chest and went to the back hall with the waiter.

There were several curtains in the back hall. The waiter lifted up and asked Murong Mingzhu to walk over. After getting away from the crowd, the waiter turned up and knelt down on one knee, "See the eldest lady."

Murong Mingzhu looked at him calmly, "Where is the third young master?"

"The third young master is in the backyard, please come here for the eldest lady." The waiter took Murong Mingzhu around the corridor and entered a quiet courtyard.

There are only a few rooms in the courtyard, but a lotus pond is opened in the small courtyard, planted with the fuchs of the young lady's hand, which are simple and elegant, completely different from the noise in front of them, like a paradise.

The waiter stood outside a room and said to Murong Mingzhu: "The third young master is inside, please, Miss."

Murong Mingzhu pushed open the door and closed it with her backhand. When she walked into the room, she saw a slender and tall figure standing by the window. She felt relieved and said softly: "Three Brother."

The figure turned around, with handsome eyebrows and starry eyes, and a faint smile on his lips, "Mingzhu, you are here."

He is the third-ranked young master of the Murong family. Murong Jiao was thrown out of the house by Murong Mingzhu. It is said that he was going to rectify the water trade route. But I don’t know why the person is not in Jiangnan, but in Lingzhou...

"I rushed over immediately after receiving the news," Murong Mingzhu looked at him with some concern, "Are you okay?"

The news brought by the little yellow bird that time was from Murong Jiao. If it weren't for the news, she wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to Lingzhou.

Murong Jiao said in a deep voice: "It's okay now, but..."

"How is it?" Murong Mingzhu asked, "Your letter said that someone seemed to be targeted. Who did you find out clearly?"

Murong Jiao shook his head: "I'm not sure who it is. Since I arrived in Lingzhou four years ago, everything has been going according to the plan and has not made any mistakes. Until recently, I felt that Shen Guo and Bi Yue seemed to have movements."

When Murong Mingzhu heard this, she sat down slowly and looked up at Murong Jiao, "The ten-year agreement between Chen Guo and Bi Yue has expired long ago. Now she plans to continue to discuss peace. Do you think it is wrong. Is it because of this?"

"No," Murong Jiao said with certainty: "It's not this. I have been in Lingzhou for four years intermittently. Many things need to be seen more thoroughly than others. Mingzhu, Shenguo and Biyue will never have any real peace. The so-called peace talks are just an illusion before big movements."

Murong Mingzhu looked at him and didn't say anything for a moment.

Her third brother has always been cautious and meticulous in his work, so she was relieved to hand over this "big matter" to her third brother. If the third brother said this now, there would be nothing to doubt.

Murong Jiao glanced at her and asked softly: "Mingzhu, do you still have to continue that matter?"

He came to Lingzhou to hide his eyes and ears just to help Murong Mingzhu accomplish that "big thing". He did not turn back when he started construction. Moreover, he had been doing it for almost four years and was very clear about the interests in it. If the matter was exposed, the entire Murong family would be destroyed!

Murong Mingzhu shook her head silently and said, "You can't continue anymore. Let's take a break. Third brother knows, Ye Zhilan is here. He is an old fox. Nothing can be hidden from him. We cannot take risks."

Speaking of Ye Zhilan, Murong Jiao asked with a strange expression: "I heard that you were on the first floor some time ago..."

"Third Brother!" Murong Mingzhu frowned at him, "Why do you even know these things?"

The imperial capital has been here for hundreds of thousands of miles. When did Murong Jiao gossiping so much? All this kind of rumor has been heard.

Murong Jiao said, "It's not that I went to inquire on purpose. Now no one in the whole Moon should know. Mingzhu, what's going on? You and him really..."

"No, no, no," Murong Mingzhu rushed to finish her words, "San brother, don't believe those rumors. Ye Zhilan and I have nothing. Forget this, the second brother is not serious. You like gossip so much." "It's not that the third brother likes gossip, the third brother is worried about you," Murong Jiaoqing hugged her shoulders and said, "Have you thought about what he would do now, if he knew what you were doing, what would happen? The third brother doesn't care about the Murong family, but the third brother is afraid that you are in danger. Mingzhu, since you decided to do this back then

Waiting for a while, you have placed yourself and him on both sides of the completely hostile side. Now that you want to look back, you can no longer go back."

Murong Mingzhu lowered her head and said softly, "I know that there are some things that others don't know, but I understand the most."

"That……"

"Stern brother, don't worry, I know what's going on," Murong Mingzhu looked up at him and said slowly, "The situation is already like this now. Don't stay in Lingzhou, go back to the imperial capital first. Lingzhou should be slow down."

"Okay." Murong Jiao agreed.

"By the way," Murong Mingzhu remembered something, "You have been in Lingzhou for so many years, have you checked the details of the Sheng family?"

Murong Mingzhu always felt that the Sheng family and Ye Zhilan had a close relationship. If she didn't find out clearly, she would never feel at ease. After all, Sheng Liunian could hold the secret between her and Feng Youran. Murong Jiao pondered for a moment and said, "The Sheng family's origin is very strange. About twenty years ago, this family suddenly appeared. Lingzhou was not owned by Biyue at that time, but was the territory of Shenguo. The Sheng family took over the medicinal materials business in the twelve states in southern Yunnan in Lingzhou, and since then it was promoted to a wealthy family.

Four years ago, the defeated Shen Guoguo assigned Lingzhou to Biyue. The Sheng family is still rich in Lingzhou now. The current head of the family is Sheng Tao. However, the real control of the Sheng family is Sheng Liunian. Sheng Tao has been ignoring business for many years."

Murong Mingzhu nodded, almost the same as what she could see.

Although Sheng Tao was powerful, he did not have the cunning of a businessman in his body. Instead, he was Sheng Liunian, who was rude and had a very scheming method.

And Sheng Yuehua...

Murong Mingzhu asked, "Where is Sheng Yuehua?"

Murong Jiao paused and said after a moment, "Sheng Yuehua has been a widow for many years. No one knows who her husband is, and I don't know."

Hearing this, Murong Mingzhu basically gave up.
