Chapter 71.2: Not Playing the Cards Right
Mu Yuwen, the second branch family’s only son, who was also the Hou Manor’s Fourth Young Master.
Mu Wushuang curved her lips up. For her protection was false, but her real intention was to snatch a piece of the pie.
“Great! Second Aunt is really thoughtful.”
Mu Wushuang readily agreed, pretending to be unaware of what Lady Zhang was scheming.
“That is only natural. We are family, so Wushuang does not have to stand on ceremony with us.”
Lady Zhang said with a bright smile. She just knew that Mu Wushuang was still the same good for nothing from before. That’s great. All that gold would fall right into the second branch family’s hands!
She swept her eyes over Mu Yuheng with a glance. She heard that he was no longer a mute but she had not heard him utter a single word after so long, which made her wonder whether he has really recovered or not.
But that didn’t really matter. As long as she was able to keep a tight hold on Mu Wushuang, it would be enough.
Ningxue had also said that the useless good for nothing was holding divine medicine. Wait till she gets the gold and she would then force her to hand over the divine medicine. She was still so young and something so precious like divine medicine should be kept in the safe hands of the elders in the family.
Her eyes alight with greed, Lady Zhang’s eyes watched the siblings Mu Wushuang and Mu Yuheng walk out through the doors.
The Second Prince’s palace was in mourning, with scattered yellow paper and the sound of mournful cries filling the air, a constant trail of people going in to pay their last respects to the deceased young lording.
The group of people with Mu Wushuang and Mu Yuheng were just about to walk inside when they were stopped by the guards.
“Hold your step! You people are the ones who murdered the young lording and the Second Prince’s palace does not welcome you!”
A guard pointed a long spear at the pair of siblings and said in a fierce voice.
The Second Prince had given orders to have Mu Wushuang and her younger brother thrown out without mercy the moment they were seen.
“We are not here to pay our last respects but have come to collect a debt. This Young Miss here specifically told the Second Prince yesterday that I will be coming over today, so I would naturally not go back on my word.”
Mu Wushuang was wearing a hat with a veil and the breeze blew up a corner of the light gauze to reveal a lifted corner of her cherry lips that was curled up in a lazy arc, her voice chilly like falling autumn leaves, her words so grating to hear it could anger a person to death.
Mu Yuheng’s mouth was curved up in a smile, his handsome brow making him look so elegant and suave, outstandingly charming. The Second Prince had wanted to execute the youth just yesterday and his elder sister had immediately come seeking to humiliate the Second Prince at his palace today. What an overly protective elder sister Mu Wushuang was showing herself to be.
The faces of the guards turned red with anger. The young lordling had just died and here they were coming to collect debts. Aren’t they disrespecting the Second Prince here? One of the guards then said threateningly: “You want back your money? Go ask for it when you’re in the netherworld!”
