C39 (1/2)

As he brought Liang Jingfeng out of the mirror tower, Mu Yizi didn't say a word to anyone along the way.

If she had been chattering and asking Liang Jingfeng why he had come to such a place, it would have been fine, but the silence made people feel even more uneasy.

From start to finish, Liang Jingfeng had lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong.

In addition, her almond eyes were red, causing people to feel heartache. They couldn't bear to blame her any further.

After sending Liang Jingfeng to the entrance of the Liang Household, Mu Yiran turned around and said to her, ”Go in! Don't make your brother wait. In the future, don't go to that kind of place anymore. If you lack money, you can come to the Mu Army's Residence to look for me. ”Also, remember not to bet anymore in the future.”

After she finished speaking, Mu Yiran turned around and left with Shen Bai and Tang Jingyu. She didn't even spare a glance at Liang Jingfeng.

Liang Jingfeng watched the three of them leave. There was not a single trace of gratitude in his eyes. Instead, his eyes were filled with hatred.

Why was she able to reappear in her life as if she were on top of everything else, and to point fingers whenever she did so?

His fingernails dug into his palm, and his clenched fist dripped blood onto the ground, splattering the hem of his skirt with bits of red plum.

After returning home, Mu Yiran quickly called for Scoundrel, asking him to send a few of his brothers to find out what Mo Xuan did with his ”good deeds”.

He hurriedly led his brothers out, but after going out for half a day, he couldn't find anything.

The only clue he had was that the commoners were already used to Mo Xuan's evil deeds, and they didn't dare to talk about it because of his uncle, Ji Wei.

Because of this, Mo Xuan hadn't been discovered by the emperor even after doing such a terrible thing for so long.

And it was precisely because Ji Wei had the Prime Minister behind him that Mo Xuan felt that not only did he have Ji Wei as his uncle's backer, he even had the Prime Minister as his backer.

When Mu Yizi heard his report, she gave a cold snort of disdain.

It really was as she had guessed. Ji Wei's collusion with the Prime Minister had already reached a point where everyone was aware of it.

In addition to the Prime Minister's position in the court, even the officials following him would not be willing to risk their lives for him.

No wonder His Majesty told her that if she wanted to take down Ji Wei, she needed to gather enough evidence.

As for the matter regarding Liang Jingfeng, it was not enough as a reason to find trouble with Ji Wei.

After all, Liang Jingfeng had voluntarily displayed his name on the tower, so no one had forced her to do so.

Zhou Yu beat up Huang Ji, one was willing to take the hit while the other was willing to take it. What could others say when they were willing to do something?

However, Ji Wei usually did things in the imperial court that was nearly watertight. If Ji Hao really wanted to find out who he was, he would have to rely on this impudent nephew of his.

Mu Yurou's eyes turned and she immediately came up with a plan. He called Mudskin over and whispered into his ear.

”Boss, can you do that?” Luotuo Zi asked hesitantly.

With a frown on his face, Mu Zhizi was not impatient at all. You don't care if it works, just do it. If something happens, I'll have to bear the burden! ”

”Ai!” ”Alright!” The scum immediately ran out and disappeared without a trace.

She was sitting on a chair in the front hall and drinking tea without any hurry.

Shen Bai walked in from outside with an exquisite plate of snacks in his hand and placed it on the table beside Mu Youzi.

Mu Yizi did not suspect anything as she picked up a piece and began to eat.

He discovered that the dessert was crisp and refreshing, yet it didn't feel greasy at all. It was extremely tasty.
