C19 (2/2)

Mu Yizi turned around, cupping her fists in the direction of Lu Quanan, ”Thank you, Lu Xiang, for your help today.”

”Mu Yushan narrowed his eyes and swept a glance at her before striding to her side with his long legs.” ”Follow me.” And then he left.

Mu Yizi did not have time to ponder before she quickly followed suit. Although she didn't know whether or not this Lu Quanan was on her side, if she relied on the empress now, she should still be considered an ally, right?

When Lu Zhi-An arrived at the Prime Minister's Estate, Mu Youzi was surprised that the layout of the Residence of Prime Minister was exactly the same as that of the Mu Army's Residence.

”Do you think that it's no different from your Mu Jun Residence?” Lu Quanan said to Mu Yizi as he broke off a few pieces of steamed buns and threw them into the fish bowl.

”What do you mean, Lu Xiang?” He might as well get straight to the point. Mu Yurou was too lazy to make those twists and turns. From the looks of it, Lu Quanan did not intend to harm him. It would be great if they could become friends. However, if he was to become her enemy, she would not be afraid of him!

Lu Quanan clapped his hands, and a manservant respectfully walked over with a tray with clothes on it.

”This is the uniform of an old friend of mine, but he is of the first rank. Today, I shall make the decision to gift it to General Mu. ”

Mu Yizi could not help clenching her fist and looking at him, but she quickly let go and put on a smile, ”Lu Xiang, you must be joking. I am only a fourth rank student now, how can I accept your first rank imperial uniform? Besides, you said it belonged to an old friend. Furthermore, I cannot accept them as I please. ”

”If I say I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you. Could it be that General Mu did not believe that one day he would be able to wear this uniform? Or could it be that General Mu despised the idea that someone else had worn the uniform? Since General Mu is not accepting me, I will get my men to throw it away! ”

Lu Quanan scolded, then waved his hand to signal the manservant to throw away his clothes.

Mu Yizi quickly took the tray away, and after a moment of hesitation, she said, ”It's such a pity to throw it away. Since you, Lu Xiang, want to give it to me, I'll respectfully accept your request.”

The corners of Lu Yishan's lips curled up, as if Mu Yizi's reaction was already within his expectations.

”I'll give you my court uniform. If General Mu has nothing else to do, I won't be entertaining you then.” This prime minister is not an idle person after all. ”

Mu Yizi hugged her clothes awkwardly. Didn't he tell me to come? When the matter was done, they were going to send their guests off. How could there be such logic in the world?

She moved her lips and was just about to ask him what he wanted to do when the butler suddenly appeared beside her. He looked at her respectfully, as if she had stayed behind just to stay.

She hugged the clothes in her hands tightly and was too lazy to argue with him anymore. You're the boss, you're the boss. Who told her to be just a fourth-grade girl? He was a first rank Prime Minister. Could he not hide from her even if he couldn't afford to offend her?

Since he wanted to chase her away, she should just leave. It wasn't a good place to be. If he stayed long enough, it would be easy for others to criticize him. If the Prime Minister's spies saw this, they would inevitably think that she was plotting something with him. Tomorrow morning, the morning court will not be at peace.

Under the respectful escort of the butler, Mu Yizi left the Prime Minister's Estate. As he walked out of the door, he couldn't help but turn his head back and look at the Prime Minister's plaque. He wondered what the relationship between him and his father was.
