Chapter 139 Concubine Mu's father raises private soldiers
After going downstairs, he ran straight to where the carriage was and got on it. "Let's go back!" Li Youran ordered Zhu Yao to drive the carriage.
"Yes, miss." Zhu Yao nodded in response.
On the way back, Li Youran looked at the farmers working in the fields. They were all working hard, including Li's father and Ye.
When we arrived at Lijia Village, we saw many old ladies gathered under a big tree at the entrance of the village chatting about gossip, and some children aged three or four were playing and fighting.
Li Youran is younger than them, but her mental state is not that of a three or four-year-old.
...On the way to the capital, Song Nanyao rubbed the ring on his finger tightly. This ring can change with the size of the finger. Ever since he got this ring, he couldn't let it go.
"Have you found out anything?" Song Nanyao returned to his previous coldness, and the smile disappeared from his little face.
"We found some of the generals from the Mu family who were stationed at the border." Yan Feng reported.
“Tell me in detail!” Song Nanyao’s eyes showed surprise. He had always disliked the Mu family.
"Our people found out that Concubine Mu's brother, Mu Baizhou, is not a good guy at all. Although he is not as cruel as Concubine Mu, he is almost the same. He married many concubines, but there were women in his military camp, and women are not allowed to appear in the army..." Yan Feng was too embarrassed to say anything about Mu Baizhou's behavior. It was really a shame for the soldiers.
"Very good, Mu Baizhou is really great. He keeps a woman in the army. Do other soldiers have women?" Song Nanyao sneered with a smug look in his eyes, and continued to ask: "Tell me quickly!" He felt that this was good news, an opportunity to catch Mu Baizhou's handle.
After all, Mu Baizhou is a dignified military general. If it is discovered that he keeps a woman in his camp, it will be a heavy blow to the soldiers under him, and may even affect the morale and combat effectiveness of the entire army.
For Song Nanyao, this is undoubtedly a great opportunity to take advantage of.
"My dear young master, no woman was found among the other soldiers. If it was just an ordinary prostitute, it wouldn't be a big deal. But now there are constant disturbances at the border, and it is a time when we need to strengthen training and raise vigilance, but Mu Baizhou is only concerned with having fun with women..."
Yan Feng said indignantly, with a hint of anger on his face, and clenched his fists tightly.
"That's why there were only women in Mu Baizhou's tent!" Song Nanyao narrowed his eyes slightly, with a deep expression on his face.
He knew very well that this discovery would become Mu Bozhou's fatal weakness.
"Anything else?" Song Nanyao suddenly changed the subject. He wanted to know more about Mu Baizhou.
"My dear young master, we have discovered in the capital that Concubine Mu's father, Mu Chi, has been raising private soldiers!" Yan Feng reported in a low voice, his tone serious and full of shock.
This news shocked Song Nanyao, and he realized that things were becoming more and more complicated.
As an important figure in the Mu family, Mu Chi's private raising of soldiers means that they have greater ambitions and intentions.
In this case, Mu Baizhou's behavior of keeping a woman in the army may not be accidental, but part of the Mu family's overall plan.
"Where is it? Have you found the exact location?" Song Nanyao continued to ask.
"It's very secretive and hasn't been found out yet, but everything in the account books is fake, and we don't know where the money came from..." Yan Feng frowned and said to Song Nanyao seriously.
After hearing this, Song Nanyao's face darkened: "Continue to help father investigate." His voice was full of majesty and an unquestionable commanding tone.
"Yes!" Yan Feng immediately accepted the order respectfully, and quickly ordered his men to continue investigating the matter in depth.
Concubine Mu's father, Mu Chi, is a famous military general in the court and the proud son of General Mu. He is deeply trusted by the emperor, but he dared to openly raise private soldiers. This is simply treason and an attempt to rebel!
But now the emperor is in his prime and in good health, and Concubine Mu is in the harem. What is the purpose of these father and daughter?
Song Nanyao couldn't help but fall into deep thought, his heart full of doubts and confusion.
If Xiao Youran were here, she would definitely be able to see the clues and find out the truth of the matter.
Unfortunately, now I can only think of the answer by myself.
...Lijia Village.
Li Youran stepped into the yard. There was no one at home. Her grandparents had gone out to visit, and her aunt and uncle had gone to work in the fields. She was the only one at home with the maids, and it was really boring.
"You guys stay outside, I'll take a nap." Li Youran ordered the maid to guard the door outside and he entered the space himself.
Entering the space, Yumian was dozing off.
Li Youran walked forward quietly and blocked Yumian's nose with her hands. Yumian couldn't breathe and woke up.
"Young master, you!" Yumian was so angry at Li Youran in front of her that she was speechless.
"I'm bored, so I came to this space to kill time." Li Youran smiled awkwardly.
"Isn't the store opening tomorrow? What are you worried about, young master?" Yumian moved the fox head forward.
"There's no one to chat and play with me! The house is too quiet now, and my brothers have all gone to school." Li Youran squatted down and drew circles on the ground.
"Forget it, I'd better go out and sleep!" Li Youran felt that there was no point in chatting with Yumian, so he left the space directly.
Yumian wanted to say something behind him, but she had to keep her mouth shut.
Li Youran came out of the space and lay on a modern big bed. After a while, he began to breathe evenly.
She had a beautiful dream. She dreamed that she made a lot of money, bought a lot of things for her family, and the family lived happily together.
It was not until the evening that Zhiyan gently knocked on the door and whispered, "Miss, it's time for dinner."
After hearing the sound, Li Youran opened his eyes drowsily, rubbed his sleepy eyes, then got up from the bed, and went to open the door in his slippers.
After pushing open the door, Li Youran found that the sky outside was gradually getting dark, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled in the yard, making it look particularly warm.
She yawned, stretched, and then followed Zhiyan to the main room for dinner.
The dinner was very sumptuous, with fish, meat, vegetables and fruits. Li Youran sat at the table, picked up his chopsticks and began to eat with big mouthfuls.
Seeing her daughter's cute appearance, Ye couldn't help but laugh. She then put a piece of meat into Li Youran's bowl and said gently, "Ran'er, you're the only one at home now. Do you feel like no one is playing with you? Do you want me to give birth to a brother or sister for you?"
When Li Youran heard this, he immediately shook his head and answered vaguely while chewing the food in his mouth: "No, I want to make money and let our family live a good life!"
After saying that, she stuffed another piece of meat into her mouth and her eyes narrowed into crescents.
Father Li looked at the little man in front of him. Although he was young, he had an indomitable perseverance and determination.
He couldn't help but sigh: "Ran'er has really grown up and knows how to think about the family. However, you also have to take care of your health, after all, you are still young."
Li Youran nodded, then picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it into his grandfather's bowl, and then picked up another piece of meat with chopsticks and put it into his grandmother's bowl.
The two old people were so happy to see their granddaughter being so filial that they couldn't stop smiling and praised her as a good child.
After dinner, Li Youran returned to his room and continued to study how to make money.
She knew that if she wanted her family to live a good life, she must have enough wealth. But making money is not an easy thing, it requires hard work and sweat.
But she is not afraid of difficulties because she believes that as long as she perseveres, she will be able to achieve her goals.
