"I think the Crown Prince should seriously consider how to restore the reputation of the Duke Zhen's residence!" Ding Hao glared at Mu Yurou after speaking, then turned and left with the others.
As everyone left, Yu Garden immediately quieted down.
Mu Yurou slowly woke up, her face pale. She bit her lip lightly, tears welling in her eyes, looking pitiful, "Brother Yu, sob...I can't live anymore. I have no face to continue living..."
Nalan Yu frowned irritably, kicking Wang Dachui's corpse off the bed with one foot, anger flashing in his eyes, "Someone must have framed me! If I catch that person, I will tear them to pieces, make them beg for life and death!"
The sobbing of Mu Yurou beside him made him even more frustrated. Thinking of Mu Yurou's body being seen by another man, he couldn't help but rise with an inexplicable sense of disgust in his heart.
His expression did not escape Mu Yurou's eyes.
Mu Yurou's eyes slightly lowered, a flash of anger and grievance in her eye depths. She had given him everything, yet he despised her because of today's incident?
"Brother Yu, I won't implicate you. I will tell everyone that I seduced you first, so nobody will speak ill of you... You will still be the talented and virtuous Crown Prince in everyone's eyes... Brother Yu, I do not regret giving myself to you, I only hate our destiny is too shallow! If there's a next life, I would still wish to be your woman! Brother Yu, farewell forever!"
Mu Yurou rose to her feet with a face of sorrow, her beautiful face pale as paper, looking like a butterfly ready to perish at any moment, closing her eyes as she headed towards the pillar.
"No! Rou'er!" Nalan Yu hurriedly hugged her, saying with some guilt, "Rou'er, with you being so sincere to me, how can I let you down? Just rest assured, I will definitely get to the bottom of this incident!"
Mu Yurou inwardly heaved a sigh of relief, she had been gambling just now! Gambling that Nalan Yu would save her! Sure enough, she gambled right! As her gaze fell upon Wang Dachui's corpse at her feet, a fierce anger surged in Mu Yurou's eyes, it must have been Mu Qianyue who did it! She indeed was retaliating against her! She just didn't expect her to be so ruthless, even dragging Brother Yu into her calculations!
Did she really not love Brother Yu anymore?
"Brother Yu, don't you find it odd? This is the Duke Zhen's residence. Although it's not as fortified as the royal palace, it's not a place just anyone can enter. Moreover, we are both Mid-level and High-level True Martial Artists, and yet we didn't notice a corpse suddenly appearing on the bed..." Mu Yurou reminded him.
"Are you saying General Mu is framing us?" Nalan Yu squinted, a dangerous glint passing through his eyes.
"Grandfather certainly wouldn't do that. Brother Yu, don't you think it's strange how my sister seemed like a different person since she came back from the Sky Curtain Mountain Range?" Mu Yurou quickly changed her tune, not foolish enough to blame it on Mu Yan, that old undying, as framing the royal Crown Prince could have dire consequences, even affecting nine generations.
"It must be that despicable woman Mu Qianyue retaliating against us!" Nalan Yu's face was ominous and frightening, his fists clenched tightly, cracking, "I must kill her!"
...
Mu Qianyue strolled through the garden, in a rather good mood. She had heard about the incident at Yu Garden, after all, she personally orchestrated it, how could she not know?
Too bad she couldn't witness the scene in person!
Even so, she could imagine Mu Yurou and Nalan Yu's expressions at the time, surely very fascinating!
In high spirits, she left the Duke Zhen's residence and entered a weapon shop, receiving the acupuncture needles from the shop owner.
It had to be said the owner's craftsmanship was exquisite, each acupuncture needle forged perfectly, even better than she imagined. Carefully wrapping the acupuncture needles in a cloth cover, she placed them into her bosom.
She energetically arrived at Feng Garden.
Under a pear tree, a man in a water-blue robe sat quietly, holding a White Jade cup in his slender, fair fingers, with green tea leaves glinting under the sunlight, the air filled with a faint, refreshing tea scent.
Fragments of sunlight filtered through the branches, casting on the man's jade-like handsome face, resembling someone from the heavens.
Spring breeze brushed by, pear blossoms cascaded down, dancing with the wind, as if draping a layer of pale gold over the person beneath the tree, ethereal and dreamy.
Mu Qianyue was stunned for a moment, ancient handsome men were really numerous! She had already seen three in just a few days, the first being her elder brother, gentle and jade-like, noble as orchids;
Tianshuo was mesmerizing like a demon, wild and unruly;
The young man in white, transcendent like the bright moon, almost like an elf, especially with his light-colored eyes, looking long would lead to sinking...
Every one of them was pleasing to the eye!
As for Nalan Yu, although also good-looking, what a pity, too trashy!
"What has made my Yue'er so happy?" Lifting his head to glance at the approaching figure, Mu Rufeng laughed.
He was worried Yue'er might be upset knowing about today's incident in Yu Garden, but it seemed he was overthinking, Yue'er had truly let it go!
"Elder brother, I told you, I will heal your Dantian, do you dare to let me try?" Mu Qianyue said with raised eyebrows and bright eyes.
"What is there not to dare, I'm just afraid Yue'er will tire herself." Mu Rufeng chuckled gently.
Upon hearing this, Mu Qianyue's eyes brightened. She was worried her elder brother wouldn't agree, but didn't expect him to be so straightforward. She treasure-like pulled out a cloth cover from her bosom, then opened it with Mu Rufeng's curious gaze.
Silver, slender needles shone charmingly under the sunlight.
Mu Rufeng squinted, what were these?
"Elder brother, take off your clothes, even take off your pants," Mu Qianyue said while fiddling with the acupuncture needles, looking up to see Mu Rufeng's stunned expression, she suddenly realized.
Damn it! She forgot! This is ancient times!
Elder brother won't think she's a pervert, right?
"Uh, well... I need to do acupuncture on you, of course, the clothes must come off. Strip off your clothes, and leave just one pair of pants."
Mu Rufeng's mouth twitched, was she saying she originally planned to leave nothing?
Seeing the young girl's serious and firm expression, he hesitated briefly, then reached to unbutton his clothes.
Observing this scene from the shadows of Feng Garden, Qian Huang's eyes flashed with anger, the young miss was too reckless, actually asking the master to strip, did she not know this could damage the master's reputation?
Also, if those slender silver needles were all stuck into the master, what if it goes wrong?
Seeing the displeased expression Mu Rufeng cast, Qian Huang had no choice but to withdraw. If the master got hurt, even though she was the First Miss of Duke Zhen's residence, he would not let her off!
Mu Qianyue furrowed her brows, being watched was an unpleasant feeling!
Forget it, who asked him to be elder brother's man?
Though elder brother's Dantian was ruined, he doesn't seem as devastated as outsiders think, it seems elder brother has his own secrets too.
But no matter what, he is always her loving elder brother, isn't he?
