Chapter 148 Leng Yue Captured
After nightfall, Mrs. Mu led her daughter to meet Mu Yuanlin in the study.

As soon as he entered the study, "Mu Xi" came to Mu Yuanlin familiarly, and happily called "Father".

However, Mu Yuanlin's reaction was very cold, looking her up and down with sharp eyes, showing alienation and scrutiny.

"Mu Xi" frowned puzzled, Madam Mu reminded: "Yan'er, you are the lady who came back from the side branch, you should call Master uncle."

"Mu Xi" muttered dissatisfiedly, "There are no outsiders here."

"Listen to your aunt."

Mu Wulin sent a message, "Mu Xi" didn't dare to be self-willed anymore, and obediently called "Uncle".

Mu Yuanlin responded with satisfaction, "From now on, you can live in the mansion with peace of mind. Your aunt will invite the best nanny to teach you etiquette. Before the Longevity Festival, I will record you in your aunt's name." , by that time, you will be the well-known Third Miss of my Mu family."

"Mu Xi" was ecstatic, "Thank you father, ah, uncle, Yan'er, thank you uncle!"

"Well, go back and rest, I'll have a word with your aunt."

"Ok!"

After "Mu Xi" left happily, Mu Yuanlin signaled Mrs. Mu to close the study door, and then spoke in a low voice.

"Has everyone in Zhuangzi been dealt with?"

"Yes, the disbanded ones, the sold ones, have all been dealt with. The people who know Yan'er's identity are Yan'er, the master, me, and Master Zhao."

Seeing Mu Yuanlin's pensive face, Mrs. Mu couldn't help being relieved and said: "Master Zhao has received a lot of money from us, so he should abide by the rules and won't reveal Yan'er's identity."

Mu Yuanlin snorted coldly, "Only the dead can keep secrets."

Mrs. Mu showed surprise, "Master, Master Zhao is a capable man in the Jianghu. It may not be so easy to deal with him."

Mu Yuanlin was noncommittal, and changed the subject to tell Mrs. Mu to take good care of her daughter and how to cultivate her talent so that she can shine on the Longevity Festival.

Although Mrs. Mu intends to keep a low profile, the news that Mu's family received a concubine from a side branch quickly spread throughout Fengjing City as if it had grown wings.

Mu Yuanlin didn't hide it, he admitted Mu Yan's existence openly, and bluntly said that he had recognized her as his daughter.

Therefore, Mu Yan hadn't shown her face seriously before, and she was in the limelight for a while.

In the streets and alleys, teahouses and restaurants, everyone was talking about this Miss Mu San whom no one had ever seen before, guessing what kind of beauty she was and how talented she was.

"I heard that Miss Mu San looks somewhat similar to Miss Mu Er who has passed away. That's why she caught Madam Mu's eyes and was taken into Fengjing City."

"No wonder, I just don't know what kind of temperament Miss Mu is. She shouldn't be as vicious as Miss Mu, right?"

"Who knows, we know people, know faces but don't know hearts, we haven't even met face to face."

"Don't worry, we'll see you soon. I heard that on the Longevity Festival half a month later, Miss Mu San will enter the palace to perform a dance for the emperor."

"Tch, you and I won't be able to see the dance at the palace banquet, so it's useless to talk about it."

"You are stupid, Miss Mu San always has to go out when entering the palace, let's wait in front of the Mu residence ahead of time, won't we be able to meet people?"

"Hey, this is..."

In order to ensure the secrecy of the plan, Mu Ning didn't even tell the three children that Green Fan replaced Mu Xi.

Therefore, after learning that there was another third miss in Mu's residence, the three children secretly discussed that they would go to Mu's residence to see the true face of this third miss.

With the help of the hidden guards, Mu Yanli and the three easily sneaked into the Mu Mansion, and saw the true face of the rumored Miss Mu San.

Mu Yanxi stroked her round chin, wondering secretly, "Dafu, Duoduo, do you think this Miss Mu San looks familiar?"

Mu Yanli replied: "She and Mu Xi look alike, isn't it normal that they look familiar?"

"But I always feel that I have seen her somewhere before."

Mu Yanxi didn't take it seriously, "Let's go, there's nothing to see."

Back in Mu's house, the three children went to find Mu Ning, intending to tell Mu Ning about their meeting with Miss Mu San, but they couldn't find anyone after searching around.

At this time, Mu Ning was in the space, telling Mu Xi about the outside world.

"...Mu Yan has been in the limelight recently. Even the emperor is very interested in her. He asked about your father in the morning court. If there is no accident, Mu Yan will at least be able to seal the position of Zhaoyi after entering the palace, and wait for her to wait. If you are pregnant, you will definitely not be able to escape the concubine position, but you don't know what kind of title you will get."

Mu Xi was so angry that she gritted her teeth, wishing she could swallow Mu Ning alive.

"Why don't you just kill me!?"

Mu Ning pinched the other party's chin, "I will not let you go, nor will I kill you. You can linger on like this and get by, or you can work hard like others and live a good life."

As usual, Mu Ning left after speaking, completely ignoring the hysterical screaming of Mu Xi behind him.

-

Nanyang City, post house.

In the dead of night, the whole post house was like a sleeping beast, silent.

Accompanied by the slight sound of the wind, several black shadows appeared out of thin air like ghosts, and rushed along the roof of the post house to a certain place.

A man in black carefully lifted a tile, while the other took out the mist that had been prepared in advance, and used a bamboo tube to blow the mist into the room under the tile.

After counting breaths, the two gestured to the leader.

The leader waved his hand to signal the other two to follow him, and jumped into the room from the window lattice.

After landing, the three of them searched separately in the dark room.

Suddenly, the lights in the room came on, and a huge net fell from the sky. The three men in black wanted to escape but it was too late, and they were caught in the urn.

And the enchanting woman who was sleeping on the bed slowly sat up from the bed, and walked in front of the three men in black with a sneer on her face.

"After following Bengong for so long, I finally made a move."

After humming, Qi Yujiao tore off the veil on the leader's face in black, and after recognizing the identity of the other party, a sly smile appeared on his face.

"I really didn't come in vain."

Leng Yue's face was cold and pale, and she regarded death as home, "You can kill or cut as you like!"

Qi Yujiao raised her jade hand painted with bright red Kodan, and frivolously slid her fingertips across Leng Yue's cheeks, "You are a bargaining chip that I have finally obtained, and I am not willing to just throw it away like this."

Sunset fast.

Wuxin stepped into the study room, with a rare seriousness on his face, which made Mu Ning subconsciously look sideways.

Seeing Mu Ning, Wuxin hesitated instinctively, but heard Jun Moyan ask, "What's the matter?"

"Master, when Leng Yue visited the posthouse in Nanyang City at night, she was captured by the third princess of Nanzhao Kingdom on the spot. The princess sent someone to send a message, saying that she wants you to meet her personally, otherwise, when she arrives in Fengjing City, Leng Yue will be handed over to the emperor."

Jun Moyan raised his eyes, and his eyes fell on Mu Ning calmly, "Is there something wrong with my pulse?"

Mu Ning came back to his senses, retracted his pulse finger, and reminded him as a doctor: "With your current physical condition, it is not suitable to travel long distances."
