I Won’t Let You Have Your Wish (Second Update)
Beian County County Government.
Mu Luo has not left yet, and the identity of his fourth prince has not been disclosed locally. Therefore, in addition to investigating the iron ore smuggling case, he also has to deal with county government affairs.
Most of them can be handled by Chang'an, but Mu Luo needs to appear in person before the case is brought to trial.
It was freezing cold today. Mu Luo had just finished hearing a trivial case in his opinion. He returned to the back hall with a sullen expression. Chang An quickly handed over hot tea.
"The whole day has been filled with insignificant cases." Mu Luo hummed.
Chang'an said weakly, "Today the master settled the case and helped the plaintiff get back the money for a stolen pig. This is no small matter. It's cold in the north and the fields have no output in winter, so we just pointed to that pig to get through it!"
Mu Luo frowned. He was not completely ignorant of the sufferings of the people, but he felt that it was not his responsibility, so he changed the topic, "Su Liang and Ning Jing haven't come back yet?"
Chang'an shook his head, "No. According to the previous news, Mr. Ning returned to Xunyang City to clean up his family. He wants Miss Su to be with him. Even if he comes, he must make arrangements for the Ning family first."
Mu Luo's eyes narrowed slightly, "Why did Ning Jing choose this time to return to the family for revenge? Could it be Ning Jing's idea to let Su Liang kill those bastards and crush their bones into ashes?"
Chang'an thought for a moment and then replied, "My subordinates also feel that Mr. Ning returned to the Ning family to take revenge and seize the family property because of the help of Miss Su. I didn't expect that Mr. Ning would be so cruel when he saw Wen Wenwei."
Mu Luo sneered, "Isn't this how it should be? Those bastards have been able to live happily for so many years, which is already an advantage for them."
"Master's words make sense. Considering his status, Mr. Ning's actions are blameless. In fact, he should have done so long ago." Chang'an nodded.
"Could it be that they will stay in Xunyang City and never come back?" Mu Luo snorted.
"Miss Su specially wrote a letter saying that she would be home late. Are you planning to come back here? Or maybe Mr. Ning stayed in Xunyang City and Miss Su came back here by herself after helping him solve the trouble at home?" Chang'an guessed. .
The corner of Mu Luo's lips curled up slightly, "That's the best. I wish Su Liang would leave Ningjing. I'd be annoyed when he sees Ningjing."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a report coming from outside, "Sir, there is a girl Su Liang who wants to see you."
Mu Luo looked happy, stood up and walked out quickly.
Seeing his master's anxious look, Chang An murmured in his heart. Ever since Su Liang wrote that he would be home late, Mu Luo had been thinking about it every day. Could it be that he really fell in love with Su Liang?
"Su..." As soon as Mu Luo saw Su Liang, she was blocked by Ning Jing.
Mu Luo's eyes flashed slightly and he chuckled, "You two are finally back!"
Su Liang walked out from behind Ning Jing and stood in the snow, wearing a silver fox cloak and a hood, which made his face small, exquisite, fair and delicate.
"Master Mu, are you okay?" Su Liang smiled.
Mu Luo handed over his hand, "First of all, I would like to congratulate Mr. Ning on his high school education and cleaning up the family. Miss Su has done so much, so the Ning family's property should be at least half of hers, right?"
Su Liang thought that Mu Luo probably thought that she went to Xunyang City to help Ning Jing kill people, but he did not deny it, "We haven't discussed this matter yet, but the things in the contract signed by Master Mu and me can be prepared." "
Mu Luo originally wanted to say that since Su Liang was rich, it would be better to lose half of the treasure that he had "blackmailed" before. Although he is a prince, his life is not easy.
Unexpectedly, before he could say anything, Su Liang choked him back.
Chang An quickly said, "Master, it's so cold outside, please invite Mr. Ning and Miss Su in for a cup of hot tea?"
Mu Luo just nodded and before he could say anything, he heard Su Liang say, "No. We just entered the city and just passed by the county government office to say hello to Mr. Mu and then went home."
Mu Luo looked unhappy, "Don't you care at all about the progress of the case I'm investigating?"
Su Liang looked serious, "Is there any result?"
"This is a top secret matter and cannot be made public for the time being." Mu Luo said.
Su Liang immediately turned around and said, "Congratulations, Master Mu. I won't disturb you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he and Ning Jing walked into the wind and snow.
Mu Luo frowned and looked at their backs until he could no longer see them. He suddenly turned around and attacked Chang An, "Aren't you going to invite them in for tea? Why did they let them leave?"
Chang'an looked confused. Su Liang said he just came to say hello. What could he do as a slave?
Changan was also a little speechless. Since we couldn't tell who the mastermind of the iron ore smuggling case was, why bother asking Su Liang if he wanted to know, and then saying "I can't tell you" after asking. Chang'an felt that if Mu Luogui was not the prince and someone else was playing like this, Su Liang would definitely beat him up.
"Damn it! That girl never took me seriously!" Mu Luo said bitterly, "I'm just too good to her. Who does she think she is?"
Chang'an looks at the nose and the nose, and looks at the heart.
"Ningjing has become the head of the Ning family. Why don't you stay in Xunyang City and live happily? Why do you go back to this miserable place?" Mu Luo continued to be weird.
Chang'an said weakly, "It should be that Miss Su wanted to come back and Mr. Ning was chasing her..."
Mu Luo stood under the eaves for a while with a dark face, then walked back without saying a word.
Chang'an followed silently. Before closing the door, Mu Luo said, "Get ready, we will return to Beijing in three days!" He slammed the door behind him.
After Chang'an answered, he sighed in his heart. In fact, the mastermind of the iron ore smuggling case has been identified and reported to the emperor. Mu Luo was able to leave a few days ago, but he was very unaccustomed to the cold winter in the north, so he insisted on staying and waiting for Su Liang. Yesterday, he said that he would hire Su Liang to escort him. Back in Beijing, I may have lost face because of Su Liang's perfunctory greeting, so I forgot all about it.
"Master, should we inform General Nian? General Nian was sent by the master to assist the emperor in investigating the case. It is his duty to escort the master back to Beijing." Chang'an asked, "The emperor has sent General Sun, who is really going to guard the mine for a long time. He will arrive soon."
"Yes." Mu Fei's voice came from inside the door, "Then I will leave after General Sun arrives. Send someone to inform Nian Jincheng."
Chang'an was stunned for a moment. It was cold and snowing, so General Sun might not be able to get to Bei'an County within three days. Mu Fei should know this, so he postponed his return to Beijing again.
...
On a snowy day, all the shops in the county were open, but most of the stalls were not open.
Su Liang and Ning Jing went to Mingxianglou and bought two boxes of freshly baked osmanthus cakes and four other snacks.
Passing by the butcher shop, they bought a fan of ribs, two pig feet, and a piece of tenderloin.
In this season, there are only radishes and cabbages, so I bought some as well.
After shopping along the way, the two returned to Feiyan Town before noon, ordered two hot dishes at Feiyan Restaurant, and set off back to the village after eating.
The snow was getting heavier, and there were few pedestrians on the road. The horse walked slowly against the wind.
Su Liang wanted to switch with Ning Jing, and she went to drive the car.
Ning Jing refused, "You said that women can't be cold."
Su Liang coughed lightly, "Who said you didn't treat me as a woman?"
"It's not the same thing." Ning Jing said.
Su Liang didn't insist, "If I had known that it would snow so heavily, I might as well stay in the county town for one night."
"How do you know that the snow will stop tomorrow?" Ning Jing asked back.
Su Liang thought about it and said, "It's better to go home early. I don't know if Yan Shiba ran away."
...
I don't know how long it took, I only heard the squeaking sound of the wheels rolling over the snow. When Su Liang was a little drowsy in the car, the car stopped.
Lifting the curtain, in front of her was the home where she had lived for several months after she crossed over.
The gate and the wall were all covered with white hats by the snow, and the whole village was quiet and beautiful.
The door was locked. Ning Jing found the key and was about to open the door, but found that the lock had been changed.
"Brother Ning! Sister Su Liang!"
Bai Xiaohu and Zhuzi ran over, their voices full of surprise.
Bai Xiaohu accidentally fell and plunged into the snow.
Zhuzi looked back and then ran to Su Liang, "Sister Su Liang! You are back!"
Bai Xiaohu got up, with a face full of snow, and smiled with teeth showing, "I said, Sister Su Liang said she would come back for the New Year, and she will definitely come back!"
Su Liang rubbed the heads of the two little guys and asked them who changed the lock of her house.
"It was Sister Jiujiu who asked her to change it. She said that the key was lost and she was afraid that someone would pick it up and steal things!" Zhuzi answered quickly.
Su Liang felt that this was the behavior of Erjiu Mou Shiba to deliberately let them come back and be rejected.
"Where is she?" Su Liang smiled.
"At my house!" Bai Xiaohu said, "Brother Ning and Sister Su Liang, come to my house and warm up by the fire. My grandfather is roasting sweet potatoes!"
Su Liang was very interested when he heard this.
So, Ning Jing put Bai Xiaohu and Zhuzi on the carriage, and he drove the carriage towards the Bai family.
"Sister Su Liang hasn't come up yet!" Bai Xiaohu found that Ning Jing had forgotten Su Liang, and hurriedly reminded her.
"She doesn't want to ride in the car." Ning Jing finished speaking, and Su Liang had already made a snowball with great interest, ran up, and hit him squarely on the head.
Bai Xiaohu and Zhuzi were both stunned.
Ning Jing sat upright and drove the carriage, without any surprise.
"Let's see who gets there first." After he finished speaking, Su Liang ran away quickly in the snow.
The carriage was left behind.
Zhuzi suddenly realized, "It turns out that Sister Su Liang wanted to go by herself."
Bai Xiaohu shook his head, "Sister Su Liang disliked the slow carriage and wanted to eat the sweet potatoes baked by grandpa as soon as possible."
Ning Jing nodded slightly, "Xiaohu is right."
Su Liang entered the door of the Bai family. Aunt Bai poked her head out from the kitchen, looking very happy, and shouted at the top of her voice, "Liang girl is back!"
The next moment, Yan Shiba's roar came from the main hall, "Asshole! She still knows to come back?"
Su Liang walked over calmly, greeted Aunt Bai first, stomped her feet to get rid of the snow on her shoes, lifted the curtain, and entered the main hall.
A warm feeling came over.
The best silver-thread charcoal is not something the Bai family can afford. It was given to Su Liang's sister by Hu Er.
Because Yan Shiba was eating here, most of it was moved here.
At this time, Yan Shiba was nestled in a bamboo recliner, covered with a brocade quilt, with a ruddy face and hot water at hand.
Old Bai was taking a sweet potato out of the charcoal basin with a pair of tongs.
Yan Shiba glared at Su Liang, "Didn't you run away with that wild man? Why are you back?"
"Wild man" Ning Jing heard Yan Shiba's voice, he parked the carriage outside, Bai Xiaohu jumped down by himself, Zhuzi was held by Ning Jing and put on the ground, and the two rushed into the house.
Su Liang only glanced at Yan Shiba, said nothing, retracted his gaze, took the small stool, and sat down next to the charcoal basin to warm his hands.
Old Bai happily put the baked sweet potato in a bowl and handed it to Su Liang, "Hurry up and eat something hot."
Su Liang tore open the soft baked skin, the sweet fragrance filled his nose, lowered his head and took a bite, and felt that the cold air that had invaded the wind and snow was all driven away at once.
Warmth and sweetness are the most healing tastes.
Ning Jing opened the curtain and came in, holding four snacks brought to the Bai family and placed them on the table.
Old Bai hurriedly greeted him and gave him another sweet potato.
Yan Shiba, who had been ignored from beginning to end, gritted his teeth when he saw Su Liang and Ning Jing sitting on both sides of the charcoal basin, eating roasted sweet potatoes comfortably, "Liang! Sister! Sister!"
Su Liang still ignored him and only said to Old Man Bai, "I've caused you trouble these days."
Old Man Bai shook his head quickly, "Anyway, your sister is fine and her body is recovering well."
Aunt Bai brought hot bone soup to Su Liang and Ningjing.
The two of them ate sweet potatoes and drank a bowl of soup, then stood up and left.
Yan Shiba, who had accumulated a lot of resentment, could only close his eyes and pretend to sleep because Su Liang ignored her, as if he had been punched on cotton.
Su Liang walked over and hugged her sideways with the quilt, "Auntie, I took her back. The expenses for these days will be calculated later."
The corners of Yan Shiba's lips curled up slightly, then quickly disappeared.
Su Liang put her into the car, got in, and Ning Jing drove home.
Su Liang pretended not to know that Yan Shiba was pretending to sleep, deliberately lowered his voice, and spoke to Ning Jing through the car curtain, "You promised to give Yan Shiba the Mo Yu ring finger. Yan Shiba will definitely make trouble. In order to prevent tiger breeding, It’s better to…”
Ning Jing replied, "Kill him."
"Then I have to pay Aunt Bai for the meals she eats these days, so I lose money."
"Sell to the mines."
"This is good. Anyway, she is almost recovered and can work."
Yan Shiba opened his eyes suddenly, "Su Liang!"
Su Liang looked innocent, "Are you awake? When do you plan to leave? Pay back the money before leaving."
"You actually gave Mo Yu's finger to that treacherous villain Yan Shiqi?" Yan Shiba stared at Su Liang.
"He is a treacherous villain. Who are you? A righteous gentleman?" Su Liang hummed.
"You..." Yan Shiba was choked, his eyes flashed, and he became pitiful, "Sister Liang, do you hate your sister so much?"
"Don't do that with me!" Su Liang looked impatient, "If you haven't lost your memory, you should still remember that we had a falling out before I left. I didn't throw you out because I was out of kindness. You don't have to believe it. , leave now.”
Yan Shiba instantly put away the pretentious expression on his face and glared at Su Liang. Suddenly he gritted his teeth and shook his head like crazy, "I'm going to be so pissed off by you bastard girl! So pissed off! So pissed off!" It’s my fault, okay?”
Su Liang smiled half-heartedly, "Oh? Then tell me, where did you go wrong?"
Yan Shiba hit his head on the car wall, "My fault is that I really want to be a sister with you! I think about it more and more! Ahhhh, I'm going crazy! Just say a word about whether it's OK or not! You say OK, from now on I will believe you from now on! If you say no, I will jump out of the car immediately!”
Ning Jing opened the curtain and said one word, "Please."
"What does our sisters' affairs have to do with you, a wild man like you? Shut up! I've told you before that my sister likes Gu Ling!" Yan Shiba roared angrily, then looked at Su Liang, "You! You said it! "
Su Liang thought about it seriously, "To be honest, I really want to see you jump."
Yan Shiba stared at Su Liang and suddenly sneered, "Really? I won't let you get what you want! You will be my sister from now on! I can't change it even if the King of Heaven is here!"
