Lin Ran fell silent again, not knowing how to answer Mu Liang, she couldn't find a good word for getting close, she thought for a while, and took the opportunity to ask: "Has Ah Liang paid attention to the shops in Jiangnan recently?"

The topic changed too quickly, Mu Liang knew she didn't want to talk about it, his expression changed a bit, and he said calmly: "No."

"It's peaceful now, and the shops in Jiangnan have lost a lot. I want to go and inspect it." Lin Ran was a little nervous, and didn't dare to look at Mu Liang.

Mu Liang's face darkened, "You don't care about the affairs of the court? What are you doing in Jiangnan?"

"I, I don't want to enter the court. Besides, I don't mean it. The Lin family's business is left by the Lin family's father, and the Luo family's hard work has been ruined by me. I just want to save some, and wait for the court. It's stable, and it's not too late."

He recited the words silently in his heart a hundred times, Lin Ran thought it was perfect, but when he really talked to Ah Liang, he still stumbled.After finishing speaking, she regretted that she chose the wrong time.

Seeing that Ah Liang was about to be suspicious, she hurriedly said, "Do you want to go with me?"

She spoke against her will, but Mu Liang couldn't sense it.She remembered that when Fang got married, Lin Ran pretended to go to the south of the Yangtze River for inspection in order to avoid her. Now that it has been so long, his thoughts have not changed.

Today is different from the past, there is no gap between her and Lin Ran, no matter whether it is an aunt or a niece, these are not secrets, everyone in the world knows, and they are gradually forgotten by everyone, what is going on with Lin Ran now?

She suppressed the doubts in her heart. She used to think that Lin Ran was cautious in doing things and took the overall situation into consideration, so she would not worry her.I often think that Lin Ran knows how to measure, knows how to behave, and will not do stupid things. These thoughts are deeply ingrained in her mind and will remain unchanged for a long time. I thought that I would spend my life with her like this, but unexpectedly, there would still be mistakes halfway.

Lin Ran was puzzled, so she couldn't face her calmly, and she couldn't even stay in Luoyang City any longer. She had tried so many times, but Lin Ran kept her mouth shut. If she asked again, she wouldn't tell the truth. Maybe use some lies to fool her.

Mu Liang was silent for a long time, then Fang nodded slowly: "Let Master Mu go with you, you go back early."

Lin Ran felt apprehensive and reluctant when she agreed, and was stunned for a moment: "Are you going?"

She swallowed her saliva, struggled a little more, and if Ah Liang went, she agreed.

Mu Liang shook his head: "I won't go, you alone pay attention to safety, the situation in Luoyang City is not very good, I have to take care of the children."

These words were within Lin Ran's expectation, after all, the child was the one in Ah Liang's heart, and Ah Liang would not want to leave her behind again.After hearing the satisfactory answer, Lin Ran smiled, "Okay, I'll go early and return early."

"When are you leaving?" Mu Liang asked.

"Leave after the new year." Lin Ran bent his lips and smiled.

Mu Liang stopped talking, and when he lowered his eyes, he saw Lin Ran's cuffs trembling, and the pattern outlined with silver lines on the cuffs seemed to be swaying in the wind, manic and restless.

After the two were silent for a while, Mu Liang got up and went to the study, Lin Ran was shocked, remembering the paintings that had not been put away in the study, and hurriedly said: "It's getting late, let's have dinner, it's windy outside, don't move around. "

The sky was getting dark, and at a glance, the dark night with thick ink and heavy pen was chilling.

"Okay." Mu Liang didn't insist, and sat back again. Lin Ran let out a long sigh of relief, and ordered the maid to prepare dinner.

****

In the new year when the new emperor came to the throne, all the officials came to congratulate him, and everyone was a little bit happy. The new emperor ruled rigorously and treated his officials generously.The rewards at the end of the year were quite generous, and the courtiers gradually felt relieved.

Lin Ran settled a bill in the mansion, Xinyang thought that she didn't want to return her granary, and sent someone to remind her a few times, but she was still indifferent, and she didn't know what to do.Regardless of whether there is more or less food in the treasury, we can't hold on to her money.

Moreover, the Lin family has suffered a lot of losses in recent years, and the turnover of money is very little. Xinyang has already ascended the throne, and did not mention any compensation for her.

One day, she sent people from the mansion into the palace to find His Majesty, asking for it, she had to make some plans for Ah Liang.

Taking advantage of her good memory, she settled the accounts of the Lin family's granary one by one, organized them into a book, sent them to the Zichen Palace, and asked for the accounts directly.

Two days later, Xinyang sent his servants to return the accounts intact, and sent a message: "Your Majesty said, when the Patriarch returns from Jiangnan, I will give you everything."

Lin Ran was furious. She had never seen such a roguish emperor. She froze and said, "Tell Your Majesty that I don't want anything else, but money. If she doesn't return it, I'll go to the Ministry of Households to ask for it."

The servant followed suit with a smile, shook off the dust in his hands, and said: "Your Majesty can give the Patriarch everything, why should the Patriarch care about time. Besides, what your Majesty owes you will be paid back sooner or later."

"I don't believe her, you let her write an IOU, or issue an imperial decree." Lin Ran didn't believe these high-sounding words, if His Majesty didn't pay back, no matter how reasonable she was, it would be useless.

The servant laughed: "I'll go back and ask His Majesty."

"Hurry up and get out." Lin Ran couldn't see that these flatterers, especially those sent by His Majesty, were just angry with her.

After the servant was driven away, Lin Ran was a little restless, and her stable heart was disturbed again, and she was extremely irritable, especially the attitude of His Majesty, which made her feel unable to leave with peace of mind.

Mu Liang heard about Lin Ran's anger in the study, and went back to the house to meet her. As soon as he entered the house, he felt that the people in the house were like cats with fur all over their bodies.It's been a long time since she was so angry, so she couldn't help asking curiously: "What did your majesty say that made you so angry?"

It's okay if you don't mention it, but once you mention it, Lin Ran's face turns red with anger, "Don't return my granary."

"It's not an important matter. If you don't pay it back, you won't pay it back." Mu Liang is also generous. When he gave the granary to His Majesty, he thought that she would have no worries, and never thought about whether she could return to the Lin family.

"Do you know how much the granary cost the Lin family?" Lin Ran was furious, seeing that Mu Liang was easy to talk, he added: "She just bullies you because you have a good temper."

Mu Liang smiled: "Then do you want to come back?"

"If you want it, you can." Lin Ran knew that he shouldn't lose his temper, took a deep breath, held his breath, and said in a calm tone, "I will find a way to get it back."

Seeing her frowning, Mu Liang found it interesting, and comforted her, "What are you doing back here?"

"Could it be possible that she was taken advantage of? If she had no military pay in the past, that's all. Now that she is sitting on the world, why do you want to take advantage of her." Lin Ran was not convinced, and His Majesty was clearly threatening her with the granary.

As an emperor, he is not afraid of ridicule for doing such scoundrel things.

Mu Liang didn't try to persuade her anymore, the Lin family's shops were not short of those silver coins, what Lin Ran wanted was that kind of tone.She opened the account casually and saw the scattered numbers on it, "What is the reason for your Majesty not to return you?"

Lin Ran was aggrieved, unable to speak clearly, and frowned tightly: "I'll just do it, so don't worry about it. Be more confident next time, what's yours is yours, don't take advantage of her."

It was as if Xinyang had done something unkind, and Lin Ran took revenge.What she hated the most was that others threatened her by pinching her weaknesses, if she didn't give it, she wouldn't give it, as long as she ordered it, but she used Jiangnan's incident as an excuse.

It made her speechless in front of Ah Liang.

She was so angry, Mu Liang watched her words and expressions, stretched out his hand and patted the back of her hand to comfort her: "You are not a fussy person, why bother to fuss this time."

"She threatened me!" Lin Ran blurted out, and regretted it as soon as he said it, he couldn't help but cast a glance at Mu Liang, and changed his words: "Don't mention it, let's go outside and see what she is doing."

When the child is mentioned, Ah Liang will divert his attention.

But now it is different from the past, Mu Liang is very concerned about her every word, even if she uses the child as an excuse, it doesn't make her shut up, arousing her curiosity: "What is she threatening you with?"

"An ordinary matter." Lin Ran's tone became much more serious.

Ordinary things will blow up?Mu Liang didn't believe it, he had doubts in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and said softly: "Threats about you and me?"

"No, she never mentioned it." Lin Ran was startled, recalling the past between the two of them, and hurriedly said: "It's none of your business, Your Majesty has no complaints against you now."

Seeing that she was panicking, Mu Liang took the opportunity to say: "It's not you and me, so what is it, what do you have in her hands?"

"I, I didn't." Lin Ran was so flustered that he couldn't find a reason, and was so anxious that he was at a loss, "She just let me enter the court."

"So that's how it is." Mu Liang sighed, touched her forehead with his hands, and was so anxious that he was sweating. She had some calculations in her heart, and didn't ask any more questions.

Seeing that she believed her, Lin Ran let out a soft breath, and held her hand: "Let's go outside for a walk."

"Okay." Mu Liang narrowed his eyes, pretending to believe her words, smiled gently, and walked outside with her.

Lin Ran's temper made her more and more uneasy. She used to hesitate when she asked urgent questions, but now she has learned to prevaricate with lies, and her thoughts are getting worse and worse. Will she come back after going to Jiangnan?

****

The Empress Dowager was seriously ill, the new emperor avoided the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, and never called Lin Ran into the palace. He went to Ci'an Hall to take care of the Empress Dowager, and even Changle did not set foot in the palace gate.

A few days after New Year's Eve, all the officials rested and the weather was considered warm. Lin Ran was still painting in the study, and Mu Liang brought the child into the palace to meet His Majesty.

There have been no children in the palace for many years, and Mu Liang went all the way in the palace car, the palace servants and servants were all surprised, even the minister who came to Zichen Palace to see His Majesty was a little puzzled.

It is not a secret that the head of the Lin family has a daughter, but no one sees it. Mu Liang brought her into the palace, even if he met everyone.

The child who walked steadily did not want to be hugged, and wanted to walk when he came down. He walked a few steps and ran a few steps, but he was faster than Mu Liang. When he walked outside the Zichen Hall, he saw Lin Xiang coming out of the hall.

Xiao Xiaoguai stopped, saw a stranger for the first time, twisted her buttocks, and threw herself on Mu Liang.

Take it when you see it, and go back to find your mother when you see a stranger.

Lin Xiang was followed by the servants of the palace. Even the brave ones glanced at the milk doll in Princess Mu's hand, and quickly bowed their heads when they saw it clearly.Lin Xiang has been in the palace for a few days, and his status has risen with Xinyang, but he dare not be careless in the palace, and he is extremely sober. Today's status does not dare to be compared with Lin Ran.

She bowed to Mu Liang first, and Mu Liang turned sideways to avoid the child, "Princess, you are so polite."

Lin Xiang smiled mischievously, and glanced at the child lying on her shoulder again, with envy in his eyes, and stepped aside: "Your Majesty is in the palace, so I won't bother the princess."

Mu Liang nodded in agreement, and carried the child into the hall, but the child cast a blank look at Lin Xiang.

The child has a big heart, once he saw it, he forgot it, and followed Mu Liang to the Zichen Palace as if nothing had happened.

Zichen Palace has changed owners, but there is no such extravagance, it is dignified and majestic everywhere, and the imperial power reigns supreme, so it can be seen that Xinyang's heart is not as luxurious as the empress dowager.

After entering, the child took a few glances fearlessly, seeing that the person behind the case was very familiar, his eyes revealed brilliance, and he rushed over with his calves.

Mu Liang frowned, as expected he was a little heartless again.

Xinyang got up from the case, walked quickly to pick her up, and held her in her arms. The child expressed her joy and pampering in her unique way, hugging Xinyang's neck, motionless.

Xuanyi was on the side, watching the movements of the two, also smiled, and retreated out with the palace servants.

After the intimacy, the child poked her head out, a little calm in the unfamiliar environment, after Xinyang led Mu Liang to sit under the south window, she couldn't sit still, and slipped off Xinyang's body.

Walking on short legs, looking left and right, touching this and that, and finally sat down on the imperial steps.The steps under the throne were too high, she couldn't climb up, she could only watch, but after seeing the shining things on the throne, she couldn't help but climb up again.

Mu Liang's gaze was on her all the time, and he didn't make a sound when he saw her climbing the imperial steps, but Xinyang was worried and ordered the palace servants to come over and watch.

She handed Mu Liang an imperial decree that had not yet been sealed, "This is the decree for the child to return to the Chen family, take a look."

"Your Majesty decides, I have no objection." Mu Liang glanced at it, and the child running around also had a name, Chen Zhiwei.

She remained calm, Xinyang didn't say anything more, and said: "After the court opens, let the Ministry of Rites make an announcement."

Mu Liang said: "Lin Ran has not come back, His Majesty's decree, I am afraid that some people think it is wrong."

"So what, when Lin Ran comes back from Jiangnan, he will be knighted." Xinyang doesn't care about the details, if he waits for Lin Ran to speak, he may find a child who grows up without a name.

Mu Liang's eyes reflected the coldness of Zichen Palace, and she felt a bit of warmth from holding the hot tea in her hands. Listening to Xinyang's voice, she felt helpless towards Lin Ran. It doesn't make a difference if she doesn't know, if she changes her identity, she will have scruples in doing things."

"Lin Ran will be unhappy if he finds out." Xinyang felt that something was wrong, Lin Ran's stubborn temper, after knowing about this matter, he would definitely make trouble.

"She wants the Lin family's granary, but if you don't give it to her, she will get angry, and it will only take a moment." Mu Liang said again.

When mentioning the Lin family's granary, Xinyang paused for a moment, remained silent for a while, and said: "As you wish, I will ask the Ministry of Rites to change the imperial edict."

Mu Liang stopped talking, the child under the imperial steps had already climbed up the first step, the palace guards were watching closely all the time, his little hands were strong, he crawled without flinching, and he loved playing with some resilience.

She thought that when Lin Ran was young, she also liked to play, but she would not do dangerous things. When Fang came to her side, she would sit beside her obediently, and only after she got familiar with her would she touch around the room.

No matter what I do, I will look back at her. If she is not sure, I will let go resentfully, and I seldom cry.Perhaps because of the influence of his own environment, Lin Ran would be somewhat wary and mature towards other people.

At that time, the Wei family always said to send Lin Ran away and choose a new husband for her, and he would mention it in front of Lin Ran. As time passed, Lin Ran became more obedient, did not provoke people easily, and was respectful to the princess. Plus, something is hidden in my heart.

Looking at the cuteness, the wildness in her bones is still not erased, Mu Liang pursed her lips, thinking of Lin Ran's forbearance recently, and her attitude of being neither close nor far away, for some reason, she couldn't feel any blame in her heart.

After Xinyang went to summon the Minister of Rites to come back, she raised her head, smiled slightly, and said: "Lin Ran will go to Jiangnan in a few days, and I also want to take my child to Fanyang."

Xinyang didn't know what she meant: "What are you doing in Fanyang?"

"Let's deal with some old things." Mu Liang's face was calm, and there was no abnormality.

Xinyang felt strange, Lin Ran left, she had to leave anyway, and asked, "When will you come back?"

"Wait for Lin Ran to pick it up." Mu Liang smiled, his expression remained the same, Xin Yang couldn't smile, and followed her gaze to look at the child.The child sat on the fourth step, smiled at her, and waved his hand, looking very gratifying.

Xinyang's heart skipped a beat, Mu Liang's intention was very simple, Lin Ran would pick it up and then come back, if Lin Ran didn't pick it up, the date of return was uncertain, no matter how stupid she was, she would understand.

Mu Liang couldn't talk to Lin Ran, so he turned to her.The child was born by Mu Liang, no matter how much she likes it, she can't force the child to stay by her side at this moment, if Mu Liang doesn't say anything, Mu Neng will also quarrel.

She looked at Mu Liang's quiet expression, fiddled with the teacup on the table, and said, "Why don't you go to Jiangnan, the child can stay here with me."

Mu Liang smiled, "She doesn't want me to follow, and I don't have to be so ignorant."

Xinyang choked, and said: "She is stubborn, and you raised her, what's on her mind, you can't figure it out?"

"She is not the youngest son, I can still deceive her." Mu Liang was straightforward.

Her words were gentle, not the kind of domineering and unreasonable tone. After hearing this, Xin Yang knew that Lin Ran was not in the right place, but what Lin Ran thought was that he didn't want Mu Liang to suffer.Especially in the current situation, Mu Liang also has her own plans. If Lin Ran doesn't return to Luoyang, she insists on not returning, so she can't be said to be unreasonable.

Mu Liang and Lin Ran are different from ordinary people. There is a difference of 14 years between them. Lin Ran is young, and when he does something foolish outside, it is Mu Liang who makes people sad in the end.

Ordinary people are fine, but Lin Ran was born with a good-looking appearance. After leaving Luoyang, his memory will get worse. If Mu Liang is completely forgotten and his identity is not remembered, this relationship will come to an end.

Mu Liang was threatening her, but she was not angry, Mu Liang was not at fault for Lin Ran and herself, she didn't know whether she should tell this matter, she paused while touching the teacup.

Xinyang was silent, and Mu Liang didn't speak any more. He got up and walked towards the child on the imperial steps, and stretched out his hand to her: "It's time to go home."

After climbing for so long, she was also exhausted. As soon as Mu Liang called, she got up, opened her arms, babbled a few words, and then pointed to the shiny thing on the throne, still wanting to take it.

Mu Liang knew that her throne was interesting, so she shook her head lightly: "It's not fun there, let's go home and find Ah Liang to play pot throwing and dragonflies. We've been away for so long today, don't you miss Ah Diao?"

"Diao, Diao..." The child was slurring his words, and after uttering a few words, he danced happily and went home with Mu Liang in his arms.

Mu Liang turned around and pointed to Xinyang who was a few steps away: "I'm going home, goodbye to Your Majesty."

The child immediately shook his little hand at Xinyang, Mu Liang taught him very well at home, and he also learned the good-bye gesture decently, seeing Xinyang gritted his teeth, but he had no choice but to personally send the two of them out of the Zichen Palace.

After Mu Liang left, she turned around in the hall and scolded Qin Wan again. She was already dead, and it was useless for her to get angry. The key was how to solve this situation.

Relying on Mu Liang's temperament, he probably guessed what Lin Ran was hiding, but he didn't know the details, but how could he come to her to ask for proof?

He also brought the child along to threaten...

After Xinyang got angry, he called Xuanyi over and asked about Lin Ran's going to the south of the Yangtze River.

After Lin Ran told about her trip to the south of the Yangtze River, she ordered Xuanyi to accompany her. With Lin Ran's temperament, she would definitely bring Mu Neng with her. With the skill of the two of them, she was not afraid that something would happen to Lin Ran.

Nothing will happen to Lin Ranpingan, but there is no guarantee that she will play tricks when she is outside.If Lin Ran remembered Mu Liang, she definitely wouldn't, because she was afraid that if she forgot all about the past 18 years, she would fall in love with others and cause trouble.

Mu Neng's temperament, even if she is the crown prince, will cause trouble for everyone in the world to know.

She was uncertain, and Mu Liang made it clear that she would undoubtedly be dragged into the water.

Looking at the imperial steps where the child was sitting just now, he felt a headache and raised his forehead, this matter is really difficult to solve.

****

After Mu Liang returned to the mansion, Lin Ran still didn't come out of the study, she took the child to knock on the door together.

After the child fell to the ground, she freed her hand to knock on the door, but the two fat hands moved faster than her, and when she pushed hard, the door was pushed open.Lin Ran has never been in the habit of locking her locks, which happens to be an advantage to her daughter.

Lin Ran was unprepared, and saw one big and one small walking in. She covered the painting in a panic, and walked out from behind the case with a smile, "You are back."

Mu Liang's eyes fell on the desk behind her, without pausing, Lin Ran blocked his sight, looked up at her, and smiled at Yanyan.Mu Liang retracted his gaze and explained, "I was supposed to knock on the door, but she pushed it away."

"The door is not closed, it's half-hidden." Lin Ran leaned over, wanting to pick up the child, but who knew she was still unwilling, twisted her little buttocks, and hugged Mu Liang's knee, refusing to let go.

Lin Ran took the opportunity and said, "Let's go back to the house and talk about it."

Mu Liang glanced behind her, turned around holding the child calmly, and without hesitation, stepped out of the study calmly.

Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and tidied up the paintings on the case, casually inserted them into the painting tube, and hurriedly followed Mu Liang's footsteps.

After she followed, she saw the child lying on Mu Liang's shoulder, breathing wearily, she stretched out her hand and scratched her little nose: "Where did you go, how many miles did you walk, you're so tired."

The child couldn't speak, and couldn't explain what he saw and heard in the palace today, so he opened his mouth: "Diao, Diao."

"Is your mink not with you?" Lin Ran listened to her words and searched around, but couldn't find the white mink. Curious about how the mink separated, he said, "Perhaps it is in the house, and we will see it when we go back."

"Diao, Diao, Diao..." Xiao Xiaoguai yelled several times in succession, causing Mu Liang to pat her buttocks, "Don't call me anymore, you will find it after you lose it."

As soon as she patted, the child turned his attention back, stopped looking at Lin Ran, looked at her, and frowned aggrievedly, "Bad, bad."

Mu Liang had something on his mind, so he ignored her protest, and handed it over to the wet nurse when he arrived at the house. The white mink jumped out from the corner and accompanied the master back to the house.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly dropped, and Lin Ran felt something, seeing A Liang's brows unfurled, he took the initiative to ask, "Are you unhappy?"

"No, I'm a little tired." Mu Liang leaned on the soft couch and rubbed his arms, Lin Ran hurried over, rolling up his sleeves to give her a pinch.

She stretched out her hand, and Mu Liang raised her eyes: "Aren't you going back to the study?"

Feeling guilty, Lin Ran smiled flatteringly: "I'll rub it for you."

Mu Liang ignored her, and was about to ask about the study, when the maid spoke outside: "Patriarch, there is a girl named Mingxiu looking for you outside."

"Mingxiu?" Lin Ran frowned, thought for a while, but still didn't match the name Mingxiu, she looked at Mu Liang: "I don't know this person."

Seeing that she couldn't remember for a while, the servant girl just thought she had too many things to do and forgot, so she reminded: "She is the maidservant of the late Concubine Xian."

Lin Ran still didn't remember, Mu Liang looked at her suspiciously, and after a while, asked the maidservant, "But the one who often comes to deliver purses?"

The maid nodded: "Exactly, exactly."

Lin Ran looked up at the maidservant, seeing her determined expression, her heart suddenly turned cold, and her eyes were a little uncertain.The maid felt flustered when she saw her. She didn't know why the Patriarch looked at her like this, and said in a low voice: "Patriarch, did I say something wrong? Miss Mingxiu said that you gave her a guarantee that you will come to the Princess's Mansion if you have anything to do."

Mu Liang looked at her closely, and joked: "Could it be that you did something bad, and you don't want to admit it anymore."

Lin Ran didn't show off her face because of this joke, she really didn't remember who Ming Xiu was.

The author has something to say: Mu Liang: In such a comparison, Xiaoguai is good everywhere.

Chen Zhiwei: You are all biased, what else did you compare?

After reading everyone's comments, the analysis of Qin Wan is very incisive. When the Qin family was destroyed, she was a tragedy.

In fact, being too beautiful is also a tragedy, isn't it?

Some people say that this article is not a drama, indeed, I did not intend to write a boring drama.

The combination of relaxed and serious drama, doesn't it look good?

Last but not least, say: Kekekeke, I didn’t catch bugs, remember to tell me when I see it, and I will change it.

Send out a red envelope on weekends, 100 at random. (Quiet sigh, I know it's impossible to get 100 comments.)

good afternoon.
