Grab a Handsome Guy as Strategist - C30
Tang Jingyu quickly let go and put his hands behind his back. Mu Yizi chuckled lightly, then looked at the two of them with interest and said, “Don’t worry, I’m very open-minded. Just treat this place as your own home!”
With that, Mu Yurou patted Tang Jingyu’s shoulder and prepared to leave.
“What are you doing? It’s not that I’m not feeling well? ” Shen Bai called out to her, who was already walking out of the courtyard. His brows were slightly knit together as if he was unhappy.
Mu Yizi turned around and stood still, then shrugged her shoulders and said, “I’m much better after a short rest. Are you ready to go for a walk? Could it be that Martial Uncle wants to follow us as well? ”
Hearing this, Shen Bai walked a few steps to stand in front of Mu Yizi, “Don’t wander around when you’re feeling unwell. It’s better to rest well.”
“Thank you for your concern, Martial Uncle. However, I know my own body well, so I won’t trouble you too much.” Mu Yizi’s tone carried some dissatisfaction, as if she didn’t like Shen Bai meddling in other people’s business.
Shen Bai could tell that Mu Yizi was unhappy, so he decided to not speak anymore nonsense.
He knew that with the little girl’s personality, even if he told her, she wouldn’t listen. He might even get to work harder, so he might as well stop wasting his breath.
Thinking that Shen Bai had given up on trying to persuade him to stay, Mu Yizi bid him farewell and prepared to leave.
She only realized that the two tails behind her had yet to leave when she arrived at the main entrance of the Mu Army’s manor.
They originally thought that it was just for the sake of getting out of the courtyard, but since they were already at the entrance, why were they still following?
“Martial Uncle, I can leave by myself, there’s no need to send me here.” Mu Yizi turned her head in embarrassment as she spoke to Shen Bai, who was following behind her.
It wasn’t just Shen Bai. Tang Jingyu also quietly followed behind him, giving Mu Yurou a slight headache.
He had only wanted to go for a walk by himself, what was the point of having two more followers?
If others knew, they would’ve thought that she, a Silvermoon general, needed someone to protect her when she came out!
“Where are you going? I’ll go with you.” Shen Bai looked at Mu Yizi. He did not have much of an expression on his face, as though he had made up his mind to follow her.
Mu Yizi rubbed her throbbing forehead and asked helplessly, “What about him?”
Shen Bai looked at Tang Jingyu and raised his brows, waiting for his explanation.
Tang Jingyu quickly said, “I …” This is my first time in the capital, and I’m unfamiliar with the place. I’ll take a walk with you guys! ”
Alright, this reason was also sufficient enough to make Mu Youzi unable to refute him.
Helpless, she could only bring these two fellows along as she walked out the door.
Although she said that she was strolling around, she had actually already made up her mind to go somewhere.
After passing through the bustling crowd, Mu Youzi arrived at a very simple and unadorned mansion.
Two stone lions were sitting majestically at the two sides of the manor gate. The words “Liang Mansion” on the signboard were extremely imposing.
Mu Yizi tidied up her clothes, walked up and knocked on the door.
An old man with a head of white hair and a stooped figure opened the door. Looking at Mu Yizi’s probing eyes, he asked, “Who are you looking for?”
When Mu Yizi saw this elder, she called him Uncle Fu very happily.
Uncle Fu froze for a moment. He frowned as he carefully examined her face, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen this girl before. But there was something familiar about his brow.
“May I know who Miss is?”
Mu Yizi removed the forehead from her forehead. There was a shallow scar on her forehead above her left eyebrow.
“Uncle Fu, don’t you remember me? I am Zi as well! When I was a kid, I had to squat down by the water tank. When you tried to pull me down, I fell into the water tank and hit my head next to the water tank. Look, that scar is still there! ”
Uncle Fu’s eyes narrowed as he looked closely. Upon seeing it, his eyes immediately turned red.
“Also purple? Miss Mu? Miss Mu, quickly come in. ” As she spoke, Uncle Fu held onto Mu Yizi’s hand and pulled her in.
Just as Shen Bai and Tang Jingyu were about to follow him in, Uncle Fu noticed them.
“Who are these two?” Uncle Fu’s eyes were full of wariness when he saw the two of them, so much so that even his hand that was holding onto Mu Youzi’s was unconsciously pulling on hers.
Mu Yizi knew Uncle Fu’s worry, so she patted the back of his hand and comforted him, “Uncle Fu, these two are my friends. Those who came with me are not bad people. ”
Only after hearing her explanation did Uncle Fu relax and welcome the three of them in with a wide smile.
As he walked into the courtyard, Mu Yizi realized that the previously bustling and bustling Liang Manor had become so deserted and deserted today. If it weren’t for Uncle Fu, perhaps the Liang Household would have been a wasteland, right?
“Uncle Fu, what’s wrong with the Liang Household?” How did it become like this? ” Looking at the empty mansion and seeing that there were not many people, Mu Zhizi could not help but feel a little desolate in her heart.
Uncle Fu sighed and explained, “Sigh, after General Mu took you away, Master was also excluded by the other court officials because of that. They were maligned and removed from their official positions, but then they became sick and passed away. ”
As he spoke, Uncle Fu even wiped away his tears, as if he was still sad over the death of Master Liang.
Mu Yizi didn’t know what to say, and scratched her head in embarrassment, “Uncle Fu, I’m sorry. I don’t think Uncle Liang wants to see us grieve too much because of his death. Right, where are Jing Qing and Jing Feng? “Why haven’t I seen them?”
The Liang siblings, Liang Jingqing and Liang Jingfeng, were the only remaining bloodlines of the Liang Family. Since their childhood, Little Mu and Zi had been on good terms with Liang Jingqing. However, Liang Jingfeng had always gone against her at every turn. It was unknown just how he had offended her.
Liang Jingfeng was like a mute, he did not like to talk since he was young. Perhaps it was her taciturn image that helped her. Every time she wrongly accused Mu Youzi, she would put on a pitiful look.
It was also because of this that Mu Youzi did not have any good feelings towards her.
However, Liang Jingqing was extremely good to Mu Yuhuang. It was a pity that he had been weak since he was young and had many ailments, so he had to drink extremely bitter medicine every day. Even the bitter and stinky Mu Zicould not continue to smell it, but Liang Jingqing could drink it all in one gulp every day without batting an eyelid.
For a very long time, Mu Yizi even thought that something was wrong with Liang Jingqing’s sense of smell. At that time, she had followed Liang Jingqing over to his mouth to drink various condiments.
It was a shame that Liang Jingqing had only silently vomited and never blamed her.
“Young master’s body is getting worse every day, but he is still barely holding on. He is shut in his room every day. On the other hand, Miss goes out every day, but no one is allowed to follow her.
When Liang Jingfeng was mentioned, Uncle Fu’s expression was clearly concealed.
Mu Yizi could tell that something was wrong with Uncle Fu, and she knew that he wouldn’t press her on how she was supposed to be a demon, so she didn’t press him.
“Uncle Fu, can you take me to see Jingqing?”
Then, Mu Yizi turned to Shen Bai and Tang Jingyu, who were following behind them, and said: “You two wait here for a while, I’m going to go see an old friend.”
