C247 You Have Ill Intentions

In the afternoon of the same day, Mu Yu brought Mu Ke to the County Prince's Mansion to express his thanks. Perhaps he had realized his problem, but after coming here to express his thanks, Mu Ke became more sincere and personally picked out a few good things for Mu Chen and his family.

When they reached the County Prince's Mansion, the butler led them to the main hall and ordered the servants to serve tea.

In contrast to Mu Yu's calmness, the usually domineering Mu Ke seemed very awkward. He was sitting on a chair as if he was placed on a hot metal board, twisting his body uncomfortably.

Mu Yu sipped his tea and turned his head to follow along as they chatted. "Where's Zi An? Isn't he in the Palace? "

Mu Yu was a regular customer of County Prince's Mansion, and the servants of County Prince's Mansion all recognized him. They also knew that he had a good relationship with their master, and every time he came, they would warmly greet him.

"Master left early in the morning." Big Ji replied respectfully.

Hearing that, Mu Ke who had been fidgeting immediately shouted, "What? If second brother is not in the Palace, why didn't you say so earlier? "

His voice was extremely loud and even the old granny outside could hear him clearly. Mu Yu frowned unhappily and turned his head back to glance at him, but just as he was about to leave, Mu Ke immediately shut his mouth and sat down obediently, not daring to make a sound.

Seeing that he had settled down, Mu Yu turned his head, "Where's Jinglee? Still up for his afternoon nap? "

"Madam has awoken and is helping Young Master wash her hair. She will be here in a moment." Big Ji said.

Mu Yu looked outside. Today's weather was very good, the sun was warm, and even the wind had a hint of gentleness, suitable to travel and bathe. He nodded, and continued to drink his tea.

After half an incense worth of time had passed, Shen Jingli still had not come. Mu Ke could not sit still any longer, so he put down the cup, stood up and walked out.

"Where are you going?" Mu Yu asked.

"The latrine." As soon as he stepped out of the courtyard, he was startled by the lightning descending from the sky. He instinctively retreated, tripped on the stairs behind him, fell on his butt on the stairs, and screamed out, "Ah …"

When he came back to his senses, he saw a large eagle stopped in front of him. It flapped its wings vigorously and stared at him with its pair of sharp eyes, like a field mouse staring at a field mouse.

His voice made Mu Yu feel less troubled, and Mu Yu walked out of the house, "Aren't you going to the latrine? "What's his name?"

The moment he raised his head, he saw Lightning use the snake in her claws to scare Mu Ke. He was in a daze for a moment, as if he saw a hint of ridicule from the eagle's eyes.

When Mu Ke saw Mu Yu, he hurriedly crawled back up and hid behind him. "Big Brother, save me …" He tightly held onto Mu Yu's clothes, his legs trembling like a sieve.

"This is the old master's eagle, called Lightning." He took down a cloth bag from his waist, and from within, he took out some dried meat to feed to Lightning.

Lightning barked at it, then disdainfully turned her head away and grabbed her prey as she flew into the air.

Big Ji put the dried meat back into the cloth bag, "Lightning's temper is very bad, other than the food fed by Master, Young Master and Young Master Feng, she doesn't eat anything fed to her by anyone else."

"Even if Jinglee feeds them, they still won't eat?" Mu Yu pulled Mu Ke up, and called him over to a rough maidservant in the courtyard, and told her to bring Mu Ke to the latrine.

The moment Mu Ke left, Shen Jingli came over with Xun Er and Huaixin. When Xun Er saw Mu Yu, he immediately ran over happily.

Mu Yu was ecstatic when he saw him. He bent down and picked him up, then circled him in the air, making Xun Er giggle.

Seeing that their nephew was playing happily, Shen Jingli also laughed and apologized to Mu Yu, "Sorry for making big brother wait so long."

"It's fine." Mu Yu waved his hand nonchalantly and lifted Xun Er up, allowing him to stand on his shoulder.

"Mama, I'm taller than you." Xun Er proudly compared Shen Jingli's height and smiled at him.

Seeing that Xun Er was happy, and was bringing him to walk around the courtyard, Xun Er was satisfied. Seeing that they were having fun, Shen Jingli could only smile helplessly.

"Big brother, don't just go along with him. You'll spoil him for it."

Jin Yu and Nian Hua brought out a rattan chair for Shen Jingli, who sat down on the walkway and watched the two play. Huaixin brought out a small chair for him to sit on and beat his thighs.

Huaixin was small and did not have much strength, so the force of his punch was like scratching an itch. It could be seen that he was very serious about it, and Shen Jingli was very willing to ask for his help.

When Mu Ke returned from circling the County Prince's Mansion, he saw Mu Yu, Shen Jingli and Mu Zi chatting happily about the interesting things that had happened recently in the capital city.

Big Ji Da Lee was like Bao Yu in the capital, he was clear about which family's cat had given birth to a cub, and when they talked about those interesting stories, they would even go along with their body movements and depiction, it was just like a storybook.

Seeing that they were happily talking, Mu Ke stood to the side for a while, until he heard that the marquis' wife had come to the Marquis Zhen Yuan Mansion many times to ask him to marry Song An Tang.

"Big brother, has the Changning manor really come knocking many times to propose?" Why hadn't he heard of it?

Mu Yu turned around to look at him, and said casually: "Oh, you're back."

"Big brother …" Mu Ke became anxious, he did not care about the servants being present, and pulled at Mu Yu's arm: "Big brother, I do not want to marry Song An Tang, Song An Tang is not a thing anymore, do you know who he spends all his days with? "Following that little scoundrel of the Liu Family, those two are the bosses behind the scenes of West District's Yi-Hong Yuan. Last time …"

"Wait a moment." Mu Yu interrupted him, "What did you say just now?"

Suddenly being interrupted, Mu Ke momentarily forgot what he wanted to say. Hearing Mu Yu's question, he was also stunned for a good while, before probing: "I won't marry Song An Tang."

"Not this sentence, but the latter."

"He's not a good man." There was nothing wrong with that.

"No, it's about the Yikong Courtyard."

"Oh." Mu Ke replied, "He and that Liu Ruffian are the bosses behind the west side of the city. When I was in the west side of the city, I coincidentally saw a servant who was killed by Yi Hong Yuan School, and I heard that he was asked to serve that servant. He was unhappy, so I forced him to kill him, and when they carried him and threw him away, they said that it was his fortune to serve Young Master Song, because Young Master Song is Boss Liu's friend.

Mu Ke's words were full of energy, but he realized that something was wrong with Mu Yu's face. He covered his mouth and shook his head: "Big brother, I didn't go to that kind of place, I was just passing by, I really was just passing by."

Heavens, his reputation was not good to begin with. If news of this were to spread, he would not need to be a human anymore.

Mu Yu shot a glance at him as he thought in his heart, don't tell me that this silly kid doesn't know that the more I depict him, the darker he will become?

However, Shen Jingli could tell that Mu Yu was thinking about something else. He peeled a few boiled peanuts for Xun Er and Huaixin to eat, and asked: "Big Brother, is there something wrong with it?"

"I'm fine." Mu Yu also peeled a few peanuts to eat, "The taste of the peanuts is not bad."

Hearing his words, Mu Ke also took out a few peanuts to eat. He felt that the taste was indeed good, so he grabbed another handful.

"..."

When Mu Chen came back from the outside, he saw a magical scene. Mu Yu and Shen Jingli were sitting in a pavilion playing chess, while Mu Ke accompanied Xun Er and Huaixin in the courtyard and played shuttlecock. Mu Jin moved a chair over and sat down on the veranda, staring at Mu Ke with a vigilant look.

"Big brother, you're back." Mu Jin was the first to see him. He glared at Mu Ke and ran over to report, "Big bro, that guy never visits the Three Treasures Palace when he has nothing to do. He suddenly visits.

Mu Ke who was in the middle of kicking the shuttlecock suddenly pulled back his hook and kicked the shuttlecock towards Mu Jin, "Stinky brat, don't secretly speak ill of me, I heard everything."

Mu Jin dodged the shuttle's attack and made a face at Mu Ke, causing him to clench his teeth in anger.

Mu Yu and Shen Jingli had just finished playing a game of chess, and when they turned back, they saw Mu Jin pulling Mu Chen along to talk, and laughed: "Zi An, you're back."

"Big brother, why are you so free to come today?" Mu Chen went over and sat down beside Shen Jingli.

Mu Yu looked over to Mu Ke and said, "Mu Ke said he wants to thank you."

"Yes." Mu Chen responded as he reached out to touch Shen Jingli's hands. He turned around and had Jin Yu take the cape from him, and carefully put it on for him, "The weather is cold, be careful not to feel the cold."

Seeing this scene, Mu Ke was startled, is this his second brother? His cold second brother was actually so considerate? He felt that this was somewhat inconceivable.

"Mu Ke, what are you doing? Hurry up and come over. " Mu Yu waved to call him.

He rushed over. "Second Brother, I came to thank you for helping me last time."2

"Yes."

Mu Chen's tone was very cold. Mu Ke was slightly unable to understand what he meant, was it because he disdained his gratitude, or was it because he accepted his thanks?

"Second brother, I came to thank you in my heart. I know that I used to have a bad temper and I was disrespectful to you in the past, but this time I'm sincere. If it wasn't for you, I would definitely have my reputation ruined by that person."

Mu Ke's attitude was very sincere, which made Shen Jingli have a whole new level of respect. Mu Ke, who had the same temper as the Dehui County Lord, who would easily lash others with her whip, actually thanked Mu Chen in a very sincere manner.

Seeing that Mu Chen was not moved, Mu Ke continued: "I will return … His sister-in-law and nephew had prepared gifts. The new children's clothes and toys were very popular and could not be bought even if they wanted to. Of course, Second Brother and Brother Jin both have gifts that I chose myself. "

Mu Chen felt that Mu Ke was a little strange, he looked towards Mu Yu, "What happened to him? Was my brain damaged? "

Hearing that, Mu Yu impolitely laughed out, "I think so, I was also shocked."

After understanding his two brothers' words, Mu Ke was so angry that he almost broke his cultivation. He could only grip onto his own palms tightly, forcing himself to put on a kind smile.

"Jinglee, why don't you and Mu Ke sit for a while, I have something to discuss with Zi An." Mu Yu pulled Mu Chen to the study room.

"..."

"There have been a lot of murders in the capital recently. Have you heard of them?" Mu Yu asked as soon as he entered the study.

"I've heard some rumors."

Mu Yu sat down, his face looking serious: "The coroner found out from the autopsy that all these people died from lust, and they all took aphrodisiac drugs. "It must be because the cause of death was too unsightly, and the families of these people did not dare to make a ruckus. They hid the fact that there was a funeral, so there hasn't been any commotion in the capital yet."

Mu Chen frowned as he listened to what Mu Yu was saying.

"These people are all lustful people, they usually go to the Immortal Gazing Tower and the Yi Hong Yuan Courtyard the most. I suspect that these two places have given aphrodisiacs to guests privately, but today, I heard from Mu Ke that the boss behind the scenes is Song Antang."
