Chapter 106 Eavesdropping
Madam Mu continued, "Duke, Chuchu was sent back by Zhu Yanxiao's Feidao Guards. The leader of the guards said that Zhu Yanxiao asked the Crown Prince's Consort to beat Chuchu. If you want justice, go to Prince Zhong's mansion to find him. What Crown Prince's Consort? They are just a bunch of bitches. How could he treat Chuchu like this? Chuchu likes him, so it's fine if he doesn't like her, but he also let others beat her up. He is so arrogant. Is there any law?"
After hearing this, Lord Mu Yun laughed out of anger: "How can this be possible? The Prince Zhong's Mansion is so arrogant. Do they think that our mansion is a soft persimmon that is easy to take advantage of? Humph!"
The Duke's son Mu Wenjing asked, "Father, should we send someone to the palace to inform the Queen?"
"Kan Hua is right. Although Your Majesty does not interfere in government affairs, she cannot be ignorant of everything. Please send someone reliable to deliver the news to the palace as soon as possible."
"Yes, father." Mu Wenjing immediately went to arrange it.
Lord Mu Yun looked at his second son, Mu Yejun, and said, "Huai Bi, I think Zhu Yanxiao and Shen Shenshen have been secretly having an affair. Today, she injured your sister. The marriage between the Duke's Mansion and the Anbohou Mansion has been cancelled."
Mu Yejun said to the servant calmly: "Back off."
"Yes." Wei Ling and the other servants in the room quickly stood up and left, as if they had been pardoned. The less they knew about their master's conversation, the better.
Seeing that his second son had dismissed everyone, Lord Mu Yun knew that he had something to say to him, so he sighed and continued, "Alas, your father knows that you have a crush on Miss Shen, but she has a jade in her arms, and she beat up your sister and had an affair with Zhu Yanxiao. How can such a rebellious and unchaste woman enter the gate of my mansion?"
Madam Mu had always doted on her second son, and now she began to advise him, "Huai Bi, that Shen Shen caused so much trouble and injured Chu Chu, he is simply a jinx. Mother has never liked him, there are many girls from good families in the capital, mother will find a good one for you."
Mu Yejun listened quietly at first without saying a word. When she heard her father say that she had an affair with Zhu Yanxiao, her brows slightly frowned. Then when she heard her mother say that she was a jinx, her face immediately turned ugly.
He put on a gentle tone and said in a bewitching voice: "Father, Mother, the smell of blood in the room is a bit strong. Please allow me to light a stick of incense before you speak again." After saying that, without waiting for the two to reply, he opened the incense burner on the table, lit the incense and put it in. After about a few breaths, a sweet aroma immediately rose up.
Under the astonished gazes of Mr. Mu Yun and his wife, Mu Yejun stood up and walked forward a few steps, stepping on their shadows. Two extremely thin wisps of black air appeared on his body, and immediately the black air, wrapped around the smoke of incense, drilled into the nostrils of the couple.
The eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Mu Yun suddenly became dull. They could not remember anything and just stared at Mu Yejun blankly.
Mu Yejun returned to his seat, raised his teacup and took a sip, then spoke as if he were a different person: "Father, mother, I must marry Shen Shenshen, remember this. Secondly, you must never insult my wife with words again, otherwise I don't mind replacing her as Duke." After speaking, he stared into their eyes: "Do you understand?"
"Understood, master." Lord Mu Yun and Madam Mu had empty eyes, but made strange sounds from their mouths.
"This time, it was Zhu Yanxiao who hurt Mu Chuchu. It has nothing to do with Second Miss Shen. This is the reply to both Your Majesty and the Queen. If the servants continue to gossip, they will be beaten to death."
"Okay, master."
"Very good. This young master never cares about the status of a duke or a prince. You just need to do what I arrange, and we will all be fine. As for other things, this young master doesn't care and won't interfere."
"Okay, master."
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Mu Yejun immediately extinguished the incense and opened the window. A breeze blew away the strange sweet smell of the incense in the room. He looked out the window and realized that it was already early autumn.
He turned around and said to his parents, "Wake up!" Then he uttered a few strange syllables.
Lord Mu Yun felt as if he had just had a good sleep, and suddenly he had a splitting headache. He reached out to touch it. Madam Mu saw it and said, "Does your Lordship have a severe headache? I also have a severe headache. Who opened the window so wide? It must be because of the strong wind, and I caught a cold."
"Father, Mother, are you okay?" Mu Yejun asked worriedly.
Lord Mu Yun endured the headache and said, "Huai Bi, Zhu Yanxiao injured Chu Chu. We in the Duke's Mansion will never tolerate this. We must fight with Prince Zhong's Mansion to the end and marry Miss Shen from the Anbo Marquis Mansion. Your father will definitely seek justice for you and Chu Chu."
"Who does Zhu Yanxiao think he is? How dare he compete with our Duke's Mansion for our daughter-in-law? Huaibi, don't worry. The Duke will go to the palace tomorrow to ask His Majesty to grant you a marriage. He will definitely facilitate this marriage for you." Madam Mu followed her husband's lead with an indignant look on her face.
"I would like to thank my father and mother for their support." The handsome man replied respectfully with a smile on his lips.
Lord Mu Yun looked up from afar at his daughter who was still unconscious behind the curtains on the bed in the inner room, and said to Madam Mu, "Madam, please take care of Chuchu. This duke will go to the Imperial Study to see the Emperor tomorrow after the morning court session and sue the Prince Zhong for murdering the legitimate daughter of Duke Yunsheng."
"I will take good care of Chuchu, Duke, don't worry. I only ask that you don't let Prince Zhong go. He has defied us many times and has no respect for the law."
Lord Mu Yun stood up, looked at his second son, and said, "Carry the jade with you and go with me."
"Yes, father. Mother, I'll take my leave." After paying his respects, Mu Yejun followed Mu Yungong out of Mu Chuchu's yard.
Madam Mu sighed and gently rubbed her forehead with her right hand. She felt very uncomfortable and her head was stuffy and she couldn't breathe.
"Weiling."
"I'm here." The maid hurried into the room.
"Take good care of the young lady and don't slack off. I will come to see her later."
"It's ma'am."
"Rongzhi, let's go. When we get back, ask the doctor in the mansion to prescribe a prescription for my wife to cure the cold. Why do I suddenly have a severe headache?"
"Yes, ma'am. Are you okay, ma'am?"
"Everyone is a worry, even if nothing is wrong..."
The voices of Madam Mu and her group gradually faded away. Wei Ling was busy cleaning up the house, and Mu Chuchu's room instantly became quiet.
No one noticed Mu Chuchu behind the curtain. She had actually woken up long ago, just after Mu Wenjing said he would send someone to the palace.
At this moment, Mu Chuchu, who was hiding in the quilt, felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave.
The second elder brother... He... knew magic... He used that magic to control my father and mother.
I must not let my second brother find out that I know his secret. He has no affection for me at all. If he finds out, I will definitely be killed.
Tell my elder brother? He will definitely not believe me. Ask my elder brother Ziyuan? He won't help me either. What should I do? What should I do?
She thought as she shed tears. As her injuries were serious, she drank some medicine and soon fell into a deep sleep again.
