C248 His Wish Failed

When Mu Yu and Mu Chen came out from the study room, the sky had already darkened. In the courtyard, Mu Ke and Mu Jin was arguing with each other for some unknown reason. The moment they heard their voices, they immediately stopped and respectfully placed their hands behind their back, stood straight, and obediently called out: "Big brother, second brother."

Mu Yu and Mu Chen continued to chat, but when Mu Yu heard their voices, he quietly nodded his head and continued to talk.

When Mu Ke and Mu Jin saw that they did not notice them, they lightly touched their shoulders to their opponent, and then the movement became larger and larger. Mu Ke even rudely grabbed onto Mu Jin's hair, while Mu Jin grabbed onto Mu Ke's shoulder.

They thought that they had hidden themselves well, but they didn't know that Mu Chen had already detected their movements.

"What are you doing?"

The two people who were in a stalemate using their eyes to fight were shocked by Mu Chen's voice and quickly let go of each other's hands, causing the other person to not be able to stand steadily. They swayed left and right, and their two heads knocked against each other, with a "pa" sound, causing them to feel pain just from hearing the sounds.

Green veins stood out on Mu Chen's forehead. Mu Ke and Mu Jin swallowed their saliva in fear, shrunk their necks, and got up from the ground in a daze. They stood there like little quails, not saying a word.

"The two of you …"

The pause made both of them feel their hearts thump. They stood nervously, their breathing stopping.

"The two of you, clean up the courtyard. If you can't, don't eat dinner."

Mu Chen turned his head to glance at Mu Yu, seeing the ridicule in Mu Yu's eyes, he seemed to be satisfied with his decision, but Mu Ke had an expression of disbelief, he turned around and suddenly pointed at the old granny who was watering the plants, and said to Mu Chen: "Second brother, you have many servants in your residence, why do you want me to sweep the courtyard?"

Mu Jin had already gotten used to working for him, unlike Mu Ke, who was a young master who didn't care about production. He only curled his lips at Mu Ke, picked up the broom on the side, and started cleaning it seriously.

Mu Ke felt that it was inconceivable for Mu Jin to obediently go and clean the place. This was the hard work of a servant, as a young master, how could he do it so smoothly? Don't you feel embarrassed?

"You're not allowed to eat if you can't finish it." Then, he pointed to the place where Mu Jin was sweeping. "That is Jin'er's mission, and your mission …" He looked around and pointed to the place that was separated from here by the door. "You'll be in charge of cleaning that place up."

Mu Ke frowned, he turned around, picked up his broom and threw it on the ground, then said angrily: "I won't sweep, I want to return to my residence."

"Then don't beg me the next time you have a problem." Mu Yu was not worried at all. After he said that, he walked towards the dining hall with Mu Chen and started talking and laughing. Of course, all of them were laughing at him.

However, he understood in his heart that as long as his big brother said the word, no matter how difficult it was, he would definitely do it. Thus, he turned back and shot Mu Jin a glance, then resigned himself to his fate and picked up a broom to sweep the courtyard.

After instructing his younger brother, who had yet to work, to sweep the floor, Mu Yu saw that his usually arrogant and proud brother had been beaten up and felt extremely happy. He turned his head to look at Mu Ke who was venting his anger with a broom, and smiled.

"..."

Shen Jingli was busy instructing the servants to set the table, when he saw them walking over happily, he casually asked, "Is the matter settled?"

Mu Yu laughed and did not speak, he pulled Mu Chen and sat down, then picked up the teapot to pour him a cup of tea. Shen Jingli did not understand what was going on, but seeing that they did not say anything, he did not ask any further.

When the kitchen was done bringing up all the dishes, he realized that Mu Jin and Mu Ke were not present and immediately ordered Jin Yu and Nian Hua to look for someone.

"What's going on with Brother Jin today? It's already dinner time, why aren't you coming over to eat? "

Mu Jin was usually the most punctual one, he never needed anyone to shout, he always appeared at the right time when dinner time came. Shen Jingli stood at the door and watched for a while, but from the start, he did not come over.

"Brother Jin and Mu Ke fought and was punished by Zi An to sweep the courtyard. I think they will come over after a while." Mu Yu smelled the aroma of the wine and couldn't help but to twitch his nose. Narrowing his eyes and sniffing around, he turned to Nanny Jin and asked, "Momo, what wine did your wife hide?

When Nanny Jin heard this, he covered her mouth and laughed, "Prince's nose is really sharp, you could smell the wine before it even opened."

Shen Jingli was still in shock over how Mu Chen had asked Mu Jin and Mu Ke to clean up the courtyard. When he heard the conversation between Mu Yu and Nanny Jin, he looked at Mu Yu in ridicule, "Big brother, when did you become an alcoholic?"

"Hurry up and bring the wine over." Mu Yu would not be courteous with him, with a slap of his large palm on the table, he arrogantly shouted out.

Seeing that he was impatient, Shen Jingli asked Da Lee to bring the wine over.

There were a total of two jars of wine, both of which Shen Jingli had his men brew. One jar was the plum wine and the other was the wine.

Mu Yu could not wait to open the jar, he took a whiff of the wine, poured himself a cup and took a sip, "The wine is not bad, just a little light."

"This is fruit wine, suitable for women and Twin." Shen Jingli poured Mu Chen a cup.

Before Mu Jin and Mu Ke could come, Mu Yu said that they would eat first and then ask the kitchen to make some food for them.

However, after they finished their dinner, Mu Jin and Mu Ke still had not come. Shen Jingli had the habit of taking a stroll after dinner, so he walked over to see what they were doing.

Not long after Mu Yu and Mu Chen left, they started to criticize each other, argued that it was not fun, and fought.

Shen Jingli looked at the courtyard, which was even more disarrayed because of their fight. He helplessly covered his forehead and was supported back to his room by Jin Yu.

"You guys continue. The fight is over. Remember to clean up the courtyard."

Mu Jin and Mu Ke were embarrassed from what they had said and laughed embarrassedly. After Shen Jingli left, they glared at each other, turned, and went to clean up the chaotic battlefield.

One day, when Zhao Wenrui brought his son to visit them, Shen Jingli told him this matter as if it was a joke. It made him laugh non-stop, but that was a story for the future.

After dinner, Mu Yu and Mu Chen chatted for a while longer before bringing the furious Mu Ke back to the residence. On the other hand, after Mu Yu left, Mu Yu called Wei Zuo into the study.

— —

It was unknown what Mu Chen and Wei Zuo discussed with each other that night. From the second day, Mu Chen would leave early and return late.

Shen Jingli really didn't like the smell, he wanted to ask several times where he had been. How could he be stained with this smell? But seeing Mu Chen's tired expression, he swallowed his words back.

In the blink of an eye, it was already November. On the ninth morning, Zhao Wenrui brought his fat and white son over to pay a visit.

It was already cold outside, and the cold wind was blowing. Shen Jingli wrapped himself in a thin blanket and sat on the bed of the brick bed, reading a story to Xun Er and Huaixin.

Seeing Zhao Wenrui coming over with the child, he anxiously extended her hand to greet him, "The weather is so cold, why did you bring the child out? Come and sit down and warm up. "

He turned around and took another Tang Mu and passed it to Zhao Wenrui, "Warm your hands quickly, don't freeze the child."

Zhao Wenrui placed the child beside Shen Jingli. When Xun Er and Huaixin saw their little brother, they immediately moved over and reached out to touch the little child, but were slapped away by Shen Jingli.

"Don't make my little brother cry."

Xun Er unhappily retracted his hand, and bent over to look at the little child. Seeing that Yue Yang was getting closer and closer, the little child thought that Yue Yang was playing with him, so he reached out to grab his head, happily pulling on Xiao Wen Li's hair.

Xun Er's hair was torn off, he unhappily pouted and sobbed, looking like he wanted to cry yet was unable to do so.

Zhao Wenrui held onto Grandma Tang for a while, as her body became much warmer. Only then did he say: "The wind is really strong today, so many of the trees in our house had their branches broken by the wind."

"Such a strong wind, yet you still ran out the door. Aren't you afraid of your child getting sick?" Shen Jingli said.

"It's boring for me to be home alone with my children." Bringing a child was a very complicated matter, and he was a straightforward and carefree person. Having not gone to race and hunt for almost a whole year, he felt that all his bones had rusted.

"What about Zhongping?"

"He went to the Ministry of Revenue. Recently, he has been transferred to the Ministry of Revenue to work. Every day, he has to report to the Ministry of Revenue." Zhao Wenrui turned around and played with his son. The little kid widened his black gem-like eyes and giggled at Zhao Wenrui, leisurely waving his little hands and feet.

When Xun Er saw the little child move, he felt that it was quite interesting and quickly went over, only to be kicked in the mouth by the little child. He immediately pouted, feeling wronged, he looked up at Shen Jingli and reported, "Mama, he kicked me."

"Brother is playing with you, he likes you so he wants to touch you." Shen Jingli spoke nonsense.

"Really." Xun Er's eyes widened as he picked up a rattle drum to tease the little child. The little child really liked the sound of the drum, his eyes moving according to the drum as he giggled happily.

Seeing that they were having fun, Shen Jingli did not bother anymore. He turned around and said to Zhao Wenrui: "I recently drew a new pattern, and it's for you to see."

"Alright."2

Shen Jingli got up and went to get the diagrams, but after walking just a few steps, the child in his stomach moved. This frightened Zhao Wenrui, and he immediately called for Jin Yu and Nian Hua to come in and help him, telling them to get a stable male wife, boil some water, and even ask Da Ji Da Lee to look for Mu Chen.

Zhao Wenrui was flustered by the sudden turn of events. Fortunately, the midwife and wet nurse had already settled in the County Prince's Mansion since a long time ago, otherwise, it would have taken him a lot of time to find the person he was looking for.

After settling all of these things with great difficulty, Zhao Wenrui sat on the brick bed with the two terrified children in his arms, waiting for news.

It was unknown if the two children wanted to come out earlier to see the world or if they couldn't bear to see the Mama suffer. To everyone's surprise, they had actually arrived in the world in less than two hours.

Shen Jingli had originally prepared his heart well, but after shouting out in pain a few times, he heard the stable woman shout loudly, "He's pregnant, it's a little gongzi!"

"Has he been born?" Zhao Wenrui was just about to feed Xun Er some water, when he suddenly heard this sentence and was shocked. Twins usually have a narrow escape from death when giving birth to a child, could it be that Shen Jingli's birth was too easy?

When the Nanny Jin heard this, he was overjoyed. "The two Young Master s are filial, and do not wish Madam to suffer."

The midwife woke up from her stupor and slapped her butt. The child was in pain as his wails echoed in the sky.

"With such a loud noise, he will definitely be someone with potential in the future." Nanny Jin took a purse and stuffed it into the woman's mouth.

Shen Jingli was still in a daze, he did not know if this was a dream or reality.

However, just as he was lost in thought, he heard another cry, followed by a steady voice. "Aiya, it's another little gongzi."

Of the two sons, Zhao Wenrui's hopes had probably come to naught. Shen Jingli laughed and actually fell asleep.

Soon, the two children began to cry at the same time. Their voices became louder and louder, almost upsetting the roof over their heads. However, everyone was beaming with happiness when they heard this.
