Chapter 68: Ma Da Shanren
Mu Jingchao actually did not lie. There were indeed some problems with the business here, but they were not serious and he could have been saved.

There is a kind-hearted man in the local area. He will lend a helping hand whenever there is a disaster nearby. If anyone encounters difficulties, as long as the difficulties are real, they can find him, and the kind-hearted man will give them some money to help them through the difficulties.

It is nominally a loan, and if it really cannot be repaid, this kind-hearted person will not force it to be repaid.

The great philanthropist enjoyed a high reputation throughout the region, and even local officials had to show him respect.

Mu Jingchao admired such people very much. He himself couldn't do it, and it was hard for him to imagine that there would be such selfless people.

The philanthropist's house was very ordinary, as were the furnishings inside, and the clothes he wore were even the ones he had worn for several years.

This is Mu Jingchao’s impression of the great man’s residence.

The kind-hearted man's surname was Ma. When he saw Mu Jingchao coming, his eyes lit up and he smiled kindly.

"Nephew Mu is here, hurry up and do it, your aunt is making delicious food for you!"

Mu Jingchao bowed respectfully and handed the gift to the other party, "Uncle Ma, I'm really sorry to bother you."

"Oh, it's all right. I'd be very happy if you came."

As he spoke, he pulled Mu Jingchao's arm and came to the front of the lobby. Next to it was a small kitchen. A slightly plump aunt was cooking herself, and a maid and a cook were helping her.

Unexpectedly, this person actually cooked by himself. Mu Jingchao's impression of this family became even better.

Just then, a little girl ran in from outside. She was about the same age as him. When she saw a stranger, she immediately stood up straight and looked at her father embarrassedly.

"Dad, is there a guest at home? This brother is..."

It was the first time the two met, and Mu Jingchao was still an outsider, so he felt a moment of uneasiness.

He stood up and saluted the girl, "Hello, my name is Mu Jingchao!"

The girl looked at him with her big watery eyes, full of curiosity about him!

The girl is very cute and beautiful.

"Hello, Brother Mu Jingchao, my name is Ma Ronger!"

The two men greeted each other, and Mr. Ma had no intention of stopping them. He just smiled at them.

Mrs. Ma was very enthusiastic when she saw Mu Jingchao, "Jingchao, just treat this place as your own home, don't be polite."

"Thank you, Auntie."

During dinner, there were not many people, and there were no separate tables for men and women. Mr. Ma kept forcing Mu Jingchao to drink.

Mu Jingchao wanted to refuse, but the kind-hearted Ma Dada kept persuading him.

"The alcohol content of the wine is very low, it won't make you drunk, so it's okay to drink a little."

Mu Jingchao didn't remember how much he drank, and later he felt dizzy.

Ma Da Shanren supported him and said, "Nephew Mu, sleep in our house today. Don't worry, the guest room has been cleaned up!"

Although Mu Jingchao was extremely drunk, he still remained clear-headed and remembered his mother's instructions.

"No, Uncle Ma, I have to leave first...hiccup..."

As he said this he burped.

Ma Da Shanren smiled and said, "Be good, there's nothing wrong, so it's okay for you to stay here."

The servants around him sent Mu Jingchao to the guest room. Ma Ronger couldn't help but asked worriedly, "Dad, is Mu Jingchao really a member of the imperial family in the capital?"

Ma Dada, a kind man, glared at her with a shrewd look in his eyes, "Of course, I'll find out. Think about how many Mu mansions there are in the capital?"

Ma Ronger's heart was burning with excitement. She was extremely happy at the thought of marrying into the Mu family.

Madam Ma held her hand and said, "Do you remember everything I told you? You must make it happen, understand?"

Ma Ronger blushed and nodded, "I know, Mom, I will do it..."

The voice became smaller and smaller, and under Mrs. Ma's gaze, he went to prepare as if escaping.

Mu Jingchao was careless. He didn't expect that the kind-hearted man that others talked about actually had intentions to plot against him. He was lying on the bed, dazed, and felt someone enter the room and climb onto his bed.

The man on the roof smiled helplessly, threw a stone and knocked Ma Ronger unconscious. He jumped down from the roof, carried Mu Jingchao on his shoulders, and wrapped Ma Rong up.

The person who was about to leave suddenly stopped. The prince said that one should not let go easily of the person who harmed him.

The man in black found a man in his thirties from the servants' room, stripped off his coat, and put him into Ma Rong's quilt.

He made an ambiguous gesture and said, "Boy, such a beautiful woman is really a bargain for you."

The man in black chuckled and muttered softly.

He brought her to another guest room and threw her on the bed. "How stupid! Miss Mu is such a smart person, how could she have such a stupid brother like you?"

The man in black said with disgust, "You didn't even know you were drugged, you were so stupid."

He gave Mu Jingchao the antidote so that he could wake up if anything unexpected happened, and then he left.

After a few leaps, they arrived at a yard, which was King Han's temporary residence.

This time he came secretly to investigate a corruption case, and his target was none other than Mr. Ma.

After hearing what his subordinates said, King Han was speechless for a moment.

"Tomorrow morning, spread the news that Miss Ma was caught having an affair with a servant."

"Mu Jingchao happened to be a guest at the Ma residence and witnessed what happened."

"Your Majesty, are you saying that the Ma family will use public opinion to force the Third Young Master Mu to marry Miss Ma?"

The man in black asked.

"Yes, I'm afraid they will spread the news that Mu Jingchao is attracted by Miss Ma's beauty and wants her. By then, Mu Jingchao won't have a chance to refute himself."

"My subordinates will do it now."

The next day, Mu Jingchao was awakened by a scream and had a severe headache. "Damn it, I forgot to drink the hangover soup."

Mu Jingchao rubbed his forehead before he realized that this was not the Mu Mansion, but the Ma Mansion.

He is not stupid and probably knows that he is being tricked.

He quickly stood up and checked that his clothes were all there, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

He put on his clothes, pretended to have just woken up, and walked out of the room.

"Uncle Ma, Auntie, what's wrong with you?"

Mr. Ma and Mrs. Ma were ready to rush into the room, and in order to confirm the matter, they also invited several close businessmen.

Seeing Mu Jingchao coming out from behind him, he couldn't help but want to step back.

Madam Ma didn't have that much self-control after all, and she couldn't help but ask loudly, "Nephew Jingchao, why are you in that guest room? Where's Rong'er?"

Mu Jingchao looked at the other person in confusion, "Miss Ma? I only saw her once yesterday and I haven't seen her today. Shouldn't Mrs. Ma ask me?"

"As for why I'm in this guest room? Aunt, I don't know. I drank too much last night. Wasn't it you who arranged this?"

Mu Jingchao had a smile in his eyes. As long as he was not caught in the act, no one could frame him.

Seeing the two people's faces changing constantly, Mu Jingchao was in a good mood.

At this time, the two came back to their senses, looked at each other, and suddenly remembered to go see their daughter.

Mrs. Ma rushed into the room and the scene in the room almost made her vomit.

The room was a living hell. There was blood everywhere, all over the bed and the floor. There was a dead body on the floor, unknown whether it was dead or alive.

Miss Ma huddled at the head of the bed, trembling slightly, the dagger in her hand still dripping with blood.

Seeing Madam Ma, her tears started to fall. "Mom, I don't know why it was him. I killed someone..."

Madam Ma's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately stepped forward to hold Miss Ma's hand, "It doesn't matter, I'm just a servant, I can die if I die."

She hugged her daughter tightly and comforted her softly.
