Why was the second young master of the Mu family asking about her?
After a while, soone knocked on the door.
She opened it, and a maid spoke to her gently. “Fourth young madam, the second young master is back.”
At Qiao Fei’s orders, now that Qiao Jin had returned ho, the servants called her fourth young madam.
This was undoubtedly an acknowledgnt of her status.
As an orphan, becoming a madam in the Mu family was sothing of utmost glory.
This was especially true given that Qiao Fei hadn’t abandoned her despite her ntally unstable state, and on top of that she also had Mu Zhenming’s permission. Thus, the two of them could be considered extrely open-minded.
There was a brief pause.
Qiao Jin thought about it carefully. “Does his return have anything to do with ?”
When the servant heard her words, an awkward smile appeared on his face. “I’m just… letting you know… that the second young master asked about you, so perhaps you want to go downstairs to greet the second young master. This is also what madam instructed to tell you.”
Qiao Fei simply thought that Qiao Jin hadn’t officially t her new family mbers.
Qiao Jin was silent for a while, then said, “Fine.”
She went downstairs. The servants downstairs were preparing a drink for Mu Qichu.
He’d allegedly gone to so eting the day before and hadn’t co back for the entire night.
The way Mu Qichu dressed was also very different from Mu Qilian. Since the only thing they had in common was their identical appearance, no one in the Mu family thought that everything was the sa for twins.
Mu Qichu’s style was more mature than that of Mu Qilian, who dressed more casually. He wore a white shirt and had the sa refreshing and youthful vibe as Mu Qilian did, but he was more level-headed and looked more serious than Mu Qilian.
Like Mu Qilian, Mu Qichu narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw Qiao Jin.
Mu Qichu was also very fresh-faced and basically had no bad luck. This obviously contradicted the rules of karmic backlash on his body.
If that was the case, it could only an one thing.
Qiao Jin’s current state had nothing to do with the Mu brothers.
But…
In her mory, it seed that the Mu brothers had ordered Tan Xuejia to approach Qiao Jin.
But where had this information co from?
Oh, Tan Xuejia had said it herself.
Qiao Jin instantly understood what had gone wrong.
Of course, even if they weren’t suffering backlash from karma, that didn’t necessarily an that they weren’t responsible. The tiny bit of grey energy was proof that they were at least sowhat involved, unlike Qiao Fei and Mu Zhenming, who were completely uninvolved and therefore didn’t have any such energy.
Perhaps they’d ordered Xuejia to approach her. Their specific instructions might not have been that malicious, but they weren’t necessarily full of good intentions, either.
Getting a woman like Tan Xuejia to approach Qiao Jin was nefarious in and of itself.
When Mu Qichu saw Qiao Jin, his eyes grew dark and sullen. Then he quickly asked, “How are you feeling now?”
Although it seed like he was expressing concern, his tone was nonchalant, as if he was just asking a casual question.
Silence.
Mu Qichu was cold and rarely cared about anyone, and everyone in the Mu family knew it.
Therefore it was surprising how he was now suddenly and uncharacteristically concerned about his foster sister.
Qiao Jin waved her hands. “I’m good, and nothing too serious happened, so no need to be concerned, Qichu.”
Mu Qichu was speechless.
The servants were shocked, too.
The fourth young madam was truly insane.
But since she was already calling her parents by their nas, in comparison, what was so strange about her calling Mu Qichu by his na?
Mu Qichu obviously thought it was unacceptable. He looked down and said, “It’s useless to dislike . By age, I’m still your second brother.”
He thought that Qiao Jin called him by his na because she didn’t like him and his brothers.
After all, they’d adamantly refused Qiao Fei’s request to bring Qiao Jin ho.
