Chapter 123: Homely Life
Lu Tingyan and Lu Tianyu returned home and found Jun Moyuan sitting in the living room waiting for them. Seeing the two of them coming back, Jun Moyuan's eyes flashed with joy, and he quickly stood up to greet them.
"Sister Yan'er, big brother, is everything going well outside today?" Jun Moyuan asked with concern.
Lu Tingyan smiled slightly and walked to Jun Moyuan and sat down: "It's okay! Just some unexpected things happened."
"Something unexpected?" Jun Moyuan frowned and looked at Lu Tingyan, "What is it? Sister Yan'er, why don't you tell me about it?"
Lu Tingyan glanced at Lu Tianyu beside her, then turned her gaze to Jun Moyuan and said softly: "Today when we went to Ruyi Restaurant for dinner, we met Murong Xi."
Hearing this name, Jun Moyuan's expression changed slightly, but soon returned to normal and asked, "Did Murong Xi say anything?"
Lu Tingyan shook her head and continued, "He didn't say anything, he just treated us to a meal and talked a lot, including why we were there that day."
Jun Moyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, he asked, "What happened next?"
Lu Tingyan told Jun Moyuan everything about her encounter with Murong Xi at Ruyi Restaurant today, including the incident at the restaurant, the people's praise for the county magistrate, how she happened to meet Murong Xi and chatted with him for a long time, and finally what happened at the restaurant.
After hearing this, Jun Moyuan frowned and muttered to himself, "This Murong Xi...he still has some doubts about you."
"Yes, but we have also explained the reason." Lu Tingyan nodded.
Jun Moyuan said in a deep voice: "That's good too. As long as he doesn't reveal his intentions, we still have time to deal with it."
Lu Tingyan nodded in agreement, "I thought so too. Moreover, we can also take this opportunity to let him relax his vigilance so that we can better carry out our plan."
"Well, Sister Yan'er is right." Jun Moyuan's eyes flashed with appreciation, "We must be careful and not let Murong Xi notice anything unusual."
Lu Tingyan nodded and said with a firm look in her eyes: "I know, don't worry. What happened today also made me realize that life is always full of variables, and we must always be vigilant." Her tone revealed a kind of strength and maturity, as if after experiencing this incident, she had become more tenacious.
Jun Moyuan smiled gently, his eyes full of love: "You are right. What happened next? Did you find out who poisoned the restaurant?" He gently held Lu Tingyan's hand, wanting to give her more comfort and support.
A hint of admiration flashed in Lu Tingyan's eyes, and she said excitedly, "County Magistrate Xiao is very observant and quickly found the real culprit. It turned out that the owner of the Fugui Restaurant next door was jealous of the booming business of Ruyi Restaurant, so he ordered Li Si to poison. Boss Gong doesn't take human life seriously." She thought of the scene at that time, and couldn't help but feel admiration in her heart.
Jun Moyuan nodded with deep emotion and sighed, "The intrigues in this world are really hard to guard against. Fortunately, there are good officials like County Magistrate Xiao who can give justice to the people." He was well aware of the darkness and complexity of the officialdom, but he still felt extremely relieved to see that County Magistrate Xiao was able to enforce the law impartially.
"Yes." Lu Tingyan agreed, "Mr. Xiao is fair and selfless, and is deeply loved by the people. I also hope that I can do more for the people like him."
Jun Moyuan nodded, gave a few more instructions, and then let Lu Tingyan go back to her room to rest. After Lu Tingyan left, Jun Moyuan fell into deep thought.
