Chapter 69: I want to teach you a lesson

Mr. Ma did not enter the room, but locked it.

The scene in the room was too horrifying. Neither the daughter killing someone nor the daughter staying in the same room with a man was good.

Although Mu Jingchao did not see what happened in the room, he had already smelled the faint smell of blood in the air.

Mr. Ma looked at the innocent Mu Jingchao, wondering if this man was really completely unaware of the situation.

Mu Jingchao was still smiling, seeming curious, but did not ask any further questions.

Mu Jingchao saluted, "Uncle Ma, since you have something to do, I will leave first. My nephew's shop also needs to be taken care of!"

Even if Mr. Ma wanted to keep him, he had no reason to do so, so he could only smile and say, "Sorry, nephew Mu, I'll invite you to my house another day!"

Come again? Absolutely not, never again.

Mu Jingchao complained in his heart, but still agreed on the surface.

The butler escorted him out of the house. The smile on Mu Jingchao's face disappeared, and a hint of viciousness appeared on his face. Did they think that Mu Jingchao was a piece of clay and yet they dared to plot against him?

Mu Jingchao had just walked a short distance when he was suddenly patted on the shoulder.

He turned around with a tense expression, and when he saw Chen Yao's familiar expressionless face, he couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity.

"Why is Guard Chen here? Is Prince Han here too?"

This time, he was smart. Chen Yao looked at him speechlessly and said, "Follow me!"

"Hey, okay!"

Mu Jingchao followed Chen Yao like a servile person. At this moment, he was completely relaxed, and the worry in his heart was thrown out of the window.

What a joke! That’s King Han. With King Han around, what else does he have to worry about?
When he arrived at Prince Han's yard, Mu Jingchao saw Prince Han sitting under a big tree reading a book.

The flowers on the tree fluttered in the wind. The person under the tree had her hair tied up in a ponytail. Her stunning face seemed to blend in a little bit under the shadow of the tree.

Mu Jingchao slowed down his pace unconsciously, as if he was a sinner for disturbing King Han from reading.

After a moment of silence, King Han closed the book in his hand and looked at Mu Jingchao quietly.

This is the future third uncle. What should I do if my uncle is too stupid? He is itching to teach him a lesson.

"You... think you were lucky this time and escaped a disaster?"

Mu Jingchao did think so before, believing that it was Xiao Si from the Ma Mansion who made a mistake in the room, which allowed him to escape. But the moment he saw Prince Han, he knew that this was definitely done by someone sent by Prince Han.

"King Han, of course I know it was you who saved me. Thank you, King Han, otherwise I would have been ruined!"

Mu Jingchao said with lingering fear, he almost, almost married a woman he didn't know. Although the woman was pretty, the motives of this family were not pure.

After saying this, she looked at King Han with gratitude and admiration, "King Han, how did you know I was in danger? Did my younger sister ask you to come here because she knew I was here?"

Mu Jingchao's look of sudden enlightenment left King Han speechless.

"This prince is investigating something here, and it involves the Ma Mansion!"

Mu Jingchao was speechless for a moment, then he said carefully, "I wonder what the King Han is investigating? Human life? Someone seems to have died in the Ma residence today. If we investigate now, we might be able to find out something, but the person who died was a servant, not a big shot."

Mu Jingchao said with a look of regret.

“The main investigation is on corruption cases.”

King Han spoke calmly.

Mu Jingchao was surprised. "That's impossible. It is said that Mr. Ma has donated countless money. He donated almost all the money he earned. How could he embezzle money?"

King Han sneered, "If he is a kind person, why would he plot against you to marry his daughter?" Mu Jingchao: "..."

Yes, after all, if he was really a kind person, how could he plot against him?

"He knows you are from the Mu Mansion!"

Well, that can only be the reason.

"Don't have any contact with them alone in the next few days. I have collected enough evidence. We will know his true identity by then!"

King Han gave Mu Jingchao some instructions.

Mu Jingchao nodded. Since he already knew that it was wrong, he would not be so stupid as to give away his life.

Three days later, a group of soldiers suddenly surrounded the gate of Ma's mansion. These people were not locals, but more like people coming from the battlefield.

The person in front of him was King Han, who was dressed in armor.

The housekeeper of the Ma residence was so frightened when he saw the man that his legs went limp and he crawled towards the yard.

"Master, Madam, it's bad, soldiers have surrounded our house."

Mr. Ma couldn't help but feel his heart tighten, and he immediately thought of countless possibilities.

Madam Ma beside him did not have the same composure as him, her face was pale and bloodless, "Master, what happened? Did something happen?"

Ma Da Shanren glared at her and said, "Shut up and don't panic. No matter who they are, they have no evidence. Do you know Ma?"

After being yelled at, Mrs. Ma felt a little better and quickly ordered someone to come and touch up her makeup.

Just then, Miss Ma came over and said, "Dad, Mom, I heard that there are soldiers surrounding the gate? Who is so bold? Don't they know our reputation?"

Compared to her previous cuteness and liveliness, she now had gloomy eyes and was filled with hostility. After all, she had killed someone with her own hands, and her worldview was ruined.

Madam Ma pushed her back and said, "Girl, why are you going out? Go back quickly, you have nothing to do here!"

Miss Ma stubbornly shook off Madam Ma's arm and said, "No, I want to go out and take a look!"

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Mrs. Ma had no choice but to look at her master.

Ma Dashanren spoke at this time, "Okay, let her go out and take a look. Don't forget that the Ma family will hand it over to her in the future."

Mr. Ma has only one daughter. If he had not met Mu Jingchao by chance, he would definitely find a live-in son-in-law for his daughter. Unfortunately, power is a powerful thing, and the Mu family is a favorite of the emperor. If he were to marry into the Mu family, his career would definitely be able to move to a higher level.

Unfortunately, everything was ruined. Mu Jingchao escaped without even having the chance to force her. His daughter's reputation was ruined, and it was impossible for her to marry into a good family.

The three of them left the mansion, and Miss Ma was immediately attracted by the stunning appearance of King Han. Mu Jingchao? Is he as good-looking as the person in front of him?
Miss Ma stared at King Han with an infatuated look. Seeing that her father was about to step forward to speak, she quickly stepped forward and asked in the gentlest voice.

"Sir, do you like me, Ma Ronger? No need for such a big fuss, I agree!"

Mr. Ma and Mrs. Ma did not expect their daughter to do this. After being shocked, they were delighted. If this person came to propose marriage, they must agree no matter whether the family is good or bad!
King Han glanced at Ma Ronger with a cold gaze, "What dog is barking here? You are delaying my investigation, I'll slap you in the face!"

She heard every word clearly, and before she could react, Ma Ronger was slapped more than a dozen times!
In an instant, his face swelled up like a pig's head and his original appearance could no longer be seen.

In a split second, the people around only saw a black shadow flash by, and could not see who it was.

The man who came had bad intentions. Ma Da Shanren called him a fool and took a cautious step forward. "General, I wonder why you came to the Ma Mansion? If you need to raise military funds, just tell me!"

King Han snorted coldly, "Does this king owe you this little bit of military pay?"

Prince? The one in front of him is the prince? Ma Dashan’s eyes widened. Could it be Prince Han?
