I have a cub with a tyrant

Chapter 24 Identity
Mu Shiyu didn't tell Jiang Shi and Mu Qiyin that He Lianjing almost fell into the water, not wanting to worry them.

The rain that had been brewing in the clouds for a long time finally fell. The rain was very heavy. Under the blessing of the wind, it blew obliquely to the wall and gathered into streams of water to flow to the ground.

Lu Xiang quickly closed the doors and windows, and the sound of the rain was much quieter. The dim candlelight in the room was extraordinarily warm, and the temperature suddenly dropped. The bedrooms in the general's mansion were all burning with earth dragons, making them very warm.

Mu Shiyu and He Lianjing, one big and one small, leaned on the custom-made soft bed, and Heitan lay on the side of the soft bed, drowsy.

"When school was over today, it was Chu Jian who pushed me behind my back."

He Lianjing's light blue eyes were a little dazed, afraid of causing trouble for Mu Shiyu, he lowered his head and whispered:
"I didn't speak to him, and I didn't bully him."

"Chu Jian? A child from General Chu's mansion?"

Mu Shiyu looked at Lu Xiang who was preparing the toiletries. She knew that Lu Xiang liked He Lianjing very much, and she even got the roster of the academy's students.Lu Xiang stopped what she was doing, and replied:
"Yes, miss, Chu Jian is a child born to the concubine of the second master of the Chu family."

The more Lu Xiang talked, the angrier she became, and she squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, "A child from a concubine dares to bully Young Master Ah Jing."

Mu Shiyu didn't pay attention to other members of the Chu family before, or maybe Chu Yuan's reputation outside was too good, and he subconsciously thought that no matter how complicated the Chu family was, it wouldn't be that complicated.

Only now did I realize that the water in General Chu's mansion was too deep.

The three masters of the Chu family, three wives, more than a dozen concubines, and four of the main concubine's sons died, leaving only Chu Yuan and Chu Hui.

There are eight concubines, and Chu Jian is the youngest, the same age as He Lianjing.

Little children, their minds are so vicious.

It's a pity that she is the inspector of Nancheng, and General Chu's residence is in Zhongcheng. She has no authority to investigate more about the Chu family, and can only check the information of the inspector.

"Ah Jing, be careful with everyone in the Chu family. When the weather gets hot, I'll teach you how to swim."

Of course, martial arts can't be left behind, you have to start from a young age.

"I can!"

He Lianjing turned his head to look at Mu Shiyu, and laughed out his little canine teeth.

Taking a peek at Lu Xiang who was pouring bath water, he leaned into Mu Shiyu's ear and whispered, "Father taught me how to swim in the palace swimming pool, and I learned it very quickly. I was suddenly pushed today and I was just scared." , I am not afraid of water!"

"……Good."

Mu Shiyu couldn't imagine the scene of He Lianchuan teaching Helian Jing to swim. After all, one second he was the domineering and majestic emperor, and the next second he was the director of Linxiang Pavilion wearing a mask, and he lowered his status to pour wine for her.

But considering what he did, nothing seemed impossible.

*
It started to rain again in the early morning of the holiday, and Mu Shiyu woke up suddenly, thinking that he was going to court early.

She didn't see Lu Xiang coming over, so she remembered that today is a holiday, she lay back on the bed, and had a good night's sleep,
When it was time for breakfast, Jiang Shi learned that it was a holiday, and felt sorry for Mu Shiyu, so she didn't send anyone to wake her up.

Mu Qiyin gulped down the porridge without worrying at all, Jiang shi endured it and did not give him a crutch.

"Don't be busy with those businesses all the time, no matter how important it is, is it important to have rain sometimes?"

As she said that, Jiang Shi sighed, stood up, holding a cane in both hands, with mixed feelings in her heart, and asked reproachfully:
"Now that Shi Yu is growing up, he won't tell us what happened. You, a father, are not responsible for throwing her into the court?"

Mu Qiyin finished the porridge in two gulps, seeing his mother's posture, if she didn't answer well, she would definitely be beaten, so she said immediately:
"How could it be? I recently learned about Shi Yu and Chu Yuan, and started to investigate the Chu family, and found a very interesting thing."

The news that the Chu family looked down on the Mu family spread throughout Shengjing, causing Jiang to show no kindness towards the Chu family. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter? What does it have to do with Shi Yu?"

"It's related, of course it's related." Mu Qiyin glanced at Tan Gu and signaled her to clear the rest of the dining room out, "The less people know about this, the better."

Tan Gu immediately left with the servants in the dining room and closed the door.

Mrs. Jiang sat back on her seat, put her crutches aside, and said seriously, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Mu Qiyin took a sip of the warm water prepared in the teacup, and said seriously: "Mother, I've thought about it these days. Your Majesty suspects the real reason of our Mu family. I found that since Shi Yu and Chu Yuan's marriage was reported, His Majesty's love for Mu The family's trust has been greatly reduced."

"You mean it has something to do with Chu Yuan?" Jiang's people are old, but they are not confused. They were also a strange woman with both civil and military skills when they were young. Otherwise, they would not have raised such an excellent child as Mu Qiyin.

"Yes."

Mu Qiyin frowned, "Chu Yuan's identity is doubtful. 22 years ago, the Chu family brought out a small coffin, saying that the son of the concierge died. But I found out that the concierge of the Chu family had a hidden disease, and he couldn't give birth at all. Come out baby."

There were too many dead children in the Chu family, Jiang was not surprised, and quietly waited for Mu Qiyin to finish speaking.

"With so many people in the Chu family, Chu Yuan is the only one who knows martial arts and is very talented. At the beginning, Chu Hua said that he got the blue eyes of heaven after a serious illness, and only then did he have this excellent talent for practicing martial arts."

As he said that, Mu Qiyin snorted lightly, "At the time, I felt that something was wrong, but back then the court was too chaotic, how could I care about other people's family affairs..."

"Get to the point!" Jiang interrupted Mu Qiyin's tirade, too lazy to listen to the nonsense, and clenched his crutch tightly, as if the crutch in his hand would hit him in a second.

Mu Qiyin faltered in an instant, and said briefly, "Mother, I suspect that it was the real Chu Yuan who died. I don't know why the Chu family replaced the eldest son, but it is clear that Chu Hua knew about Chu Yuan's life." real identity."

Chu Hua is the patriarch of the Chu family and the actual ruler of the Chu family. Even Chu Yuan cannot disobey his orders.

The more Jiang thought about it, the more she felt a chill down her spine. Following what Mu Qiyin said, she speculated: "If what you said is true, you can replace the eldest son, which proves that his original status is more noble than that of the eldest son of the general's mansion. ..."

The more Jiang thought about it, the more afraid she became, and at the same time she felt apologetic, "I almost chose an extremely dangerous path for Shi Yu, why do you think that kid Chu Yuan is good?"

In fact, Jiang knew very well that it was the evaluation of the world that affected her judgment of Chu Yuan.

Mu Qiyin let out a heavy breath, "This matter is very complicated. Those members of the Chu family, relying on Chu Yuan's identity, acted recklessly. Chu Yuan has the ability to restrain General Chu's mansion, but he did not do so."

The reason must be related to his identity.

For such a crucial matter, Chu Hua must have dealt with the people who knew about it long ago. After another 22 years, all the evidence has gradually disappeared with time, and it is difficult to find out Chu Yuan's true identity.

Back then when Mu Qiyin didn't hand over his military power, the eldest wife of the Chu family flattered General Mu's house and said all nice things.Thinking about it now, Jiang slapped his crutches angrily.

"When Shi Yu wakes up, you should remind her to guard against Chu Yuan, no... it's to guard against the entire Chu family."

"Well, I'm planning to tell her on the holiday." Mu Qiyin replied.
