Chapter 204 The Ruthless Mu Long

When Mu Long and Mu Wang came out of Zhu Zhu's room, Mu Long suddenly remembered that he had come to Zhu Zhu's room to discuss with his elder brother Zhu Zhu about how he would pretend to be Xia Di's subordinate.

He infiltrated Emperor Xia's inner circle, wanting to see what this renowned emperor would do to his newly opened Shenglong Winery. Also, he didn't know why he had begun to harbor malicious intentions. Originally, he was simply very curious about how Xia Rong's mother had died.

So he secretly ordered someone to investigate the matter, thinking that next month was Xia Rong's birthday, and if he could tell her the cause of her mother's death, would she be grateful to him? But things had changed. He learned that Xia Rong's mother was actually killed by someone secretly ordered by Old Madam Xia.

At that time, I already wanted to end this relationship with Xia Rong that should never have started. Because in this relationship, I had always willingly and silently given so much to Xia Rong.

Xia Rong's attitude towards him was always unpredictable, sometimes warm and sometimes cold! He could never figure out whether Xia Rong liked him or not. In addition, she had personally witnessed how he had built this bustling Shenglong Street bit by bit.

Why didn't she tell me that her father was going to destroy Shenglong Street? And recalling every time they met, it was always me who took the initiative to find her. She, on the other hand, never took the initiative to find me, which is why I gave up on this intense feeling.

I don't know if it was out of revenge, but a few days ago I actually disguised myself as one of Xia Rong's uncles and went to Xia Rong's hut to find her. I not only told Xia Rong the whole story about why her mother had passed away, but also told her that the Ghost Festival was in two weeks.

As you know! On the Ghost Festival, the gates of Fengdu Ghost City open. Deceased relatives return to the place where they lived in life.

Xia Rong is truly incredibly clever! Even after I'd told her such a secret, she immediately understood what I meant. She chose a dark and windy night, put on her favorite red dress, and quietly sneaked over to Xia's place to play tricks.

Haha! I always thought of myself as someone who valued relationships very much, and no matter what bad things happened, I couldn't abandon my very strong feelings for Xia Rong. But when I heard that Xia Rong's father was going to frame me with another strange man...

The heart that had once secretly vowed to love Xia Rong for a lifetime shattered in an instant. He knew perfectly well that Xia Rong couldn't drink alcohol; it would cause her to break out in large rashes. Because he knew this, he would refrain from drinking for two or three days before each visit to Xia Rong.

Haha! But that night, I actually handed my elder sister-in-law the peach blossom rice wine she had brewed myself. Perhaps this is the difference between love and not love? Originally, I wanted to take a wood-chopping knife and cut down the ten hawthorn trees I had planted myself on the hill behind the Yang family mansion. But my mother and elder brother stopped me.

My mother even scolded me for this, saying that the people who hurt me were Xia Rong and her father! Not these hawthorn trees. She asked me if I had the ability to go find Xia Rong and her father to vent my anger on these silent hawthorn trees instead.

Mu Long, what's wrong with you? Why did you become so downcast after leaving Zhu Zhu's room? Are you starting to miss Xia Rong again? If so, isn't that simple?

Your legs are your own body. If you really miss Xia Rong, you can go to Xia Rong's cottage to find her! If that doesn't work, you can also invite her to come and play at our Yang residence.

Haha! Elder brother, have you forgotten what I told you and Mother that day? My relationship with Xia Rong is over! And from now on, you and Mother, don't mention Xia Rong and her father in front of me again.

When Mu Wang heard Mu Long say those words to him, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. He placed his finger on Mu Long's shoulder and patted him.

Long'er, your mother and I both know how much you love Xia Rong! I think your sudden statement that you no longer love Xia Rong is just something you said in anger. It shouldn't be taken seriously! Also, it's Xia Rong's father who's trying to hurt you, not Xia Rong herself!

As your brother, I hope you won't transfer your resentment towards Xia Rong's father onto Xia Rong. We all know that Xia Rong didn't grow up with her father. Her behavior and way of dealing with people are nothing like her father's ruthless nature!

Elder brother, I did mention her to you this time! Why are you bringing this up with me again?

After saying this, Mu Long gently nudged Mu Wang's shoulder with his own. Then he winked at Mu Wang.

Hehe! My dear eldest brother, let me tell you something! Do you know that you've been doing something bad behind my and Father's back lately? And let me kindly remind you, it's someone else's family matter, and we'd better not meddle. You must have heard at least a little about the grudges and feuds within the Xia family, right?

Yes, yes! Back then, in order to understand Xia Rong better, I instructed some of the brothers in the Black Hall to secretly investigate some information about the Xia family.

Because Xia Rong always complained to me that her father didn't love her. She desperately wanted to know who had framed and killed her mother. And why her father always seemed to love holding a black cat? She always felt that her father doted on that black cat.

Haha! I'm saying, Yang Mulong, you didn't risk your life to investigate some old stories that happened in the Xia family just because Xia Rong asked you these questions?

Yes, yes! Because at the time I saw that Xia Rong was really eager to know who killed her mother. She also told me that she had asked her father countless times who killed her mother, but he always avoided the question.

Don't you think that secretly helping Xia Rong investigate the cause of her mother's death back then is just trying to curry favor with Xia Rong?

Mu'er and Long'er, what's going on between you two brothers? Talking about death and death first thing in the morning! That's such an unlucky thing to do!

Oh! Right, we're going to burn incense and pray to Buddha today! Long'er, please don't take Xiao Furong to the temple! I'm afraid the little one might offend some Bodhisattva or something in the temple, which would be bad.
