Chapter 743: Learning Chapter 743: Learning Editor: Atlas Studios Kejia looked at her second brother with shining eyes.
She felt so envious and wanted to snatch his job.
Mu Yangling waved her hand, and the maidservant behind her went forward to tell Kejia stories with a smile.
Mu Yangling turned around and left.
She still had many things to deal with.
Kejia, on the other hand, was about to go crazy.
She didn’t know anything about what the maidservant had said.
A simple sentence filled with hidden killing intent?
Scolding soone without spewing profanities?
When she was in the north, she was delicate and cute, and everyone adored her.
Who would dig a hole for her like this?
Moreover, even if she wanted to quarrel, she could just roll up their sleeves and argue.
At most, she could fight the person.
However, Kejia felt that when it ca to playing mind gas, she would instantly be knocked out.
The maidservant said with a smile, “Don’t worry, Second Miss.
Her Highness has found two helpers for you.
Furthermore, Miss Rain will go with you.
As long as you listen to Miss Rain’s advice, you will definitely be fine.
As for the Shu family, you can show hostility to them.
There’s no need to hide and play mind gas with them.” Kejia rolled her eyes and said, “In other words, I can call them ugly, immoral, and ill-bred?” The corners of the maidservant’s mouth twitched as she nodded.
‘Since you don’t know how to be more subtle anyway, you might as well make the purpose of your trip more blatant.
If you can’t do it in a roundabout way, might as well be more direct.’ Although Second Miss was still young and no one would take her words seriously, it would deal a heavy blow to the Shu family for everyone to see the attitude of the Mu family and Prince’s estate.
The young ladies and young masters of the Shu family didn’t know what had happened to the fourth branch.
Even the patriarch of the Shu family didn’t know it.
They only knew that Old Madam Shu was quite sick.
Although it was a little strange for a person who was still full of vigor two days ago to suddenly fall seriously ill, when they thought of Old Madam Shu’s age, they didn’t find it strange anymore.
As one got older, one naturally fell ill more often.
Therefore, the main family didn’t take this matter to heart, but they still had to visit.
Even if the won were blocked outside, everyone only thought that the fourth branch didn’t want to tire Old Madam Shu out with the visitors.
This made many people think that Shu Mingxiang was really filial.
However, the young ladies and young masters of the Shu family stopped feeling this way when they ran back ho in tears.
The first to complain was the boys.
Although there had always been competition among the aristocratic families, they had always been united against the outsiders.
It was the sa for the Shu family.
Hence, when one of them received the invitation, they would invite their other brothers and male cousins along.
The five boys ran back with livid expressions and said that the Shu family was being targeted.
The parents initially thought that it was just a dispute between the children and did not take it to heart.
When they heard that the other party was Princess Consort Rong’s ten-year-old younger brother, they said resentfully, “Geez, you can’t even compare to a ten-year-old child?
Considering we don’t have any grudges with the Mu family, it’s most likely just a coincidence.
Just let it go this ti.
The next ti you et Second Young Master Mu, you have to get along well with him.
You can’t even coax a ten-year-old child…” However, in the evening, the Shu family’s girls also ca back crying.
Three of them were even in a sorry state with bruises on their faces.
When they found out that it was Princess Consort Rong’s 10-year-old younger sister who did it, the elders of the Shu family fell silent.
Hearing the report, the patriarch of the Shu family asked coldly, “Which one of you offended Princess Consort Rong or the Mu family?” The people below looked at each other.
In the end, everyone looked at the eldest and fourth branches in unison and said, “Five years ago, the Empress gave birth prematurely…” “Shut up!” The patriarch of the Shu family slamd the table and glared at them angrily.
“You should keep this to yourselves.
How dare you ntion it?
Besides, that was five years ago, and Princess Consort Rong is not the Empress.
Why would she target the Shu family five years later?” The patriarch of the Shu family said with a frown, “Seeing as the ones who got involved were both surnad Mu, his matter must be related to the Mu family.” He looked down sharply and asked, “Which one of you has offended Mu Shi recently?” Shu Qing’s heart tightened, but he didn’t show any surprise on his face.
The patriarch of the Shu family looked around and snorted when he couldn’t find any traces.
“Leave for now and think carefully.” When Shu Qing returned to his room, he couldn’t help but smash the things in the study room.
Shu Mingxiang hurried in and asked with a pale face, “Father, what should we do?
The patriarch is asking…” “What else can we do?
He’ll know as soon as he investigates this matter.
Your mother fell sick shortly after returning from the silk shop.
And now the Shu family is being targeted…” Shu Qing gritted his teeth in hatred.
He had been hiding this from the main family because he was afraid that the main family would use this to threaten them.
He didn’t expect that he would have no choice but to hand this matter to the main family.
Shu Qing gritted his teeth in hatred towards Shu Wanniang and Mu Yangling.
As for the main family, they quickly heard back the news.
“…In the past ten days, only the Old Madam of the fourth branch had the chance to et Princess Consort Rong and the Mu family.
Three days ago, the Old Madam of the fourth branch went to the silk shop.
That day, Princess Consort Rong also brought her mother and sister-in-law to the silk shop.
Interestingly, the Mu family’s twins seed to have caught two female thieves in the backyard that day, but Princess Consort Rong never sent anyone to the governnt office.” The Shu family mbers often went out, but Princess Consort Rong didn’t go out often.
Hence, it was easy to investigate when they had an opportunity to et.
“Fourth branch?” The patriarch of the Shu family narrowed his eyes and asked, “I rember that five years ago, the Empress gave birth prematurely.
After that, the married daughter of the fourth branch brought Mingxiang’s wife to the Qi Residence to visit.
Later on, Old Madam Shu even brought her stepdaughter to the Qi Residence?” “Yes, but they were turned away at the door.” The patriarch of the Shu family snorted.
“Shu Qing is hiding sothing from us.” Just as he finished speaking, the manservant’s report ca from outside.
“Old Master, the Old Master of the fourth branch requests an audience.” “Speak of the devil.” The patriarch of the Shu family stood up slowly and flicked his robe.
“Bring him to the reception pavilion.
I’ll be right there.” When Shu Qing left, the patriarch of the Shu family had an ugly expression on his face.
He laughed sinisterly and said in a low voice, “What an idiot.
Instead of hiding from the Mu family with his tail between his legs, he’s actually rushing to acknowledge his kin.
Does he think Mu Shi is made of clay?” The head steward lowered his head, not daring to say a word.
The patriarch of the Shu family was so angry that his chest heaved up and down.
If his family had been set up to be enlisted in the military considering he only had one child, he would definitely fight to the death with the other party.
If even he, a scholar who tended to take the big picture into consideration, felt this way, what more a martial artist like Mu Shi who was used to seeing bloodshed?
Naturally, he must have revenge on his mind.
With Shu Wanniang around, as long as the fourth branch of the Shu family kept a low profile and Mu Shi stayed far away in the north, that matter might have been sowhat suppressed.
In another two generations, who would still rember such an old matter?
At that ti, if the Mu family was still as glorious, the Shu family could just visit them to acknowledge them as relatives.
Alas, they had to do it at this ti.
Not to ntion Mu Shi, even Princess Consort Rong and Madam Mu felt vehent hatred towards the Shu family.
Considering Prince Rong had always doted on his wife, if she attempted to sway him through pillow talk, the Shu family would be attacked from all sides.
The fourth branch was the culprit behind this incident, but the Mu family and Prince’s Residence might have pinned the bla on the entire Shu clan.
The fourth branch was only a collateral branch, but they actually dragged the entire Shu family down to suffer with them.
How ridiculous!
