Arrested, two thieves
"Absurd!" Before Qiqi could continue, Mu Nianqin retorted angryly: "Ruyun is outstanding in this generation. Whether it is me or my mother, she has already intended to let her inherit the Mu family's property and serve as the next city lord. She herself knows this. Sangcheng will be hers in a few years, so why should she do this forever?"
Even Mu Hongyi agreed with Mu Nianqin's words. Not only her, but also Mu Rushuang, who had already stood up and retreated to the side, also had a look of recognition.
It was something that I could get, and there was no need to make any effort to compete for it. With the current status of the third lady of the Mu family in Sangcheng, it can almost be said that she has to be as good as the wind and rain. Why should she?
Qiqi still looked calm and looked around and said, "What if their goal is not just Sangcheng?"
No matter how much you say, it is better to see it as a truth.
After almost less than a stick of incense, the main house had indeed changed as Qiqi expected.
The sound of fighting in the main house was faintly heard, and the movement gradually became louder. In less than a stick of incense in the backyard of the main house, it suddenly became a noisy.
Before Mu Hongyi, Mu Nianqin and others could go out to see the situation, a guard rushed over and reported to Mu Hongyi: "Old lady, two little thieves came from the main house, and are now entangled with the guards in the courtyard."
"I'll go and have a look." Mu Nianqin leaned towards Mu Hongyi, and in a blink of an eye it had disappeared outside the door of the side hall.
Qiqi glanced at Mu Chu and nodded.
Qiqi and Mu Xinru also leaned towards Mu Hongyi and walked away in a blink of an eye.
Mu Chu helped Mu Hongyi back to the wheelchair, then pushed her to the west wing and walked slowly towards the main house.
Neither Mu Chu nor Qiqi were anxious. The main house had already laid a net of heaven and earth. More importantly, the nameless hero was always there.
No matter how good Liangmu Ruyun and Chu Sihai have martial arts skills, with so many guards guarding him, and Qingtao and Wuming are checking, how can they escape?
So when Mu Chu pushed Mu Hongyi back to the backyard of the main house, the two men were already subdued. Wuming stood behind them and slowly put away his sword.
Chu Sihai was injured on his body, and Mu Ruyun also had minor injuries, but he was not seriously injured. However, the acupuncture point was lit at this moment, and the guard was holding a rope to tie them up.
Mu Nianqin immediately said angrily: "Who dares to touch my daughter!"
As soon as she moves forward, she will help her untie the acupoints.
Qingtao strode in front of her, blocked her way, and said in a deep voice: "City Lord, I'm afraid you can't deal with this matter tonight."
"It's not your turn to be a servant in the Mu family to make trouble." It would be fine if it was something else. The person who was tied up now was her daughter, which was her greatest pride in her life. How could she let Qingtao do whatever she wanted in front of her?
"Get back." The voice was still a little old, and the sound of pushing the wheelchair slowly came over. Everyone looked at Mu Hongyi.
When the old lady arrived, Mu Nianqin could not decide here. Even if Mu Nianqin was unwilling to accept it, she could only retreat aside.
Mu Chu pushed Mu Hongyi to the head of everyone, and Mu Hongyi's sharp eyes fell on Mu Ruyun: "What's going on?"
Qingtao stepped forward and explained to her: "Old Madam, this is what Miss Murong means. The news that Miss Murong deliberately spreads out the old lady's serious injury tonight is to see if the thief behind her will seize this opportunity to do evil."
She looked down at the two people on the ground and said coldly: "As expected, these two people sneaked into the old lady's bedroom tonight, trying to steal what they wanted."
"What are you talking about?" Although Mu Ruyun was lit, she could still speak. She fell there and looked at Qingtao and said angrily: "I just heard that my grandmother was seriously injured, so I hurried over and wanted to visit her. But I was too anxious and didn't have time to report it. You girl didn't know what the benefits of taking Murong Qiqi were, so she helped her point a deer as a horse and harming our Mu family. What should you blame?"
Qingtao didn't say anything, just looked at Mu Hongyi.
But Mu Hongyi stared at Mu Ruyun and said, "Then have you taken away something from my room?"
Something flashed in Mu Ruyun's eyes instantly, but he still said aloud: "Grandma, I came to see you, how could I take things away from your room? If my grandmother doesn't believe it, you can ask someone to search for my body, but you must not be Murong Qiqi's person."
"Old lady, I have been by your side for so many years. Is I loyal to you? Heaven and earth can be seen. Miss Murong and I have no private friendship." Qingtao leaned towards Mu Hongyi.
Mu Hongyi nodded, no longer worried about this matter, but just looked at Mu Ruyun, her eyes swept across her body, and she could not see anything in her hand.
The third lady of the Mu family has never suffered such humiliation. She was lit up by someone and fell to the ground like a prisoner. She has been living a prosperous life since she was born. This is indeed the first time she felt so wronged.
She turned her head and looked at Qiqi, who was standing aside An Jing, with a straight face: "Since you told Qingtao in advance that there would be this, there should be evidence. If there is no evidence, you will be slandering the third lady of the Mu family and the next heir to the city lord. Do you understand?"
Qiqi came to her two steps forward, and even when facing her invisible responsibilities, she still looked calm and said calmly: "Grandma, I have told you just now that there is something wrong with the Chu family forest farm outside the East City. If you are willing to send someone to investigate, this matter will naturally be clear."
"I bought the Chu Forest Farm with real money. Now it is my private place. Why do you search?" Chu Sihai was tied up and looked up at Mu Hongyi. He said angrily: "My dignified Prince Hai of Chu, what will you be greedy for you in Sangcheng? I came here without hesitation, but I just wanted to use the friendship between the two families to make Chu and Sangcheng communicate with each other. Old lady, is this your way of hospitality?"
He glanced at the rope on his body, and his face became even more ugly: "Do you want to openly make our Chu State an enemy?"
"The Prince of Hai has privately held troops, angered the King of Chu. He has long been demoted to the northwest territory and was ordered by the King of Chu to not enter the imperial city again. The Prince of Hai has long been in name only. Why hasn't this news reached Sangcheng?" Qiqi smiled slightly, looked at his instantly changing face and said disdainfully: "If the old lady doesn't believe it, please send someone to Zichuan to inquire. I'm afraid no one in the entire Zichuan continent knows that Prince of Hai has been removed from the family tree by the King of Chu and has no chance to inherit the position of King of Chu."
Chu Sihai gritted his teeth, but didn't know how to refute.
Mu Ruyun said angrily: "Murong Qiqi, you, the queen of Xuanguo, have you the right to take care of Chu's affairs? Chu and Xuanguo have always had evil, so of course you will not say anything good to the world, or even slander him everywhere. What kind of heart are you doing? Grandmother will definitely be able to distinguish right from wrong."
Mu Ruyun is not stupid, so he can ask for information, but it takes two months to travel from here to Zichuan. How could Mu Hongyi really send someone to inquire?
Even if I go to inquire, it will be more than two months since the news is sent back. What is she afraid of?
But Murong Qiqi, she is the Xuan Queen of Xuan Kingdom, and she will never refute this matter, right?
As soon as Mu Ruyun's words came out, all his surprised eyes fell on Qiqi. What's going on in the Xuan Kingdom?
Before Qiqi could explain, Mu Xinru had already moved forward to Mu Hongyi and said, "What Ruyun said is true. Qi Yatou is indeed the Queen Xuan of Xuan Kingdom, and one of her husbands is the King of Xuan Kingdom."
"What will I do in Sangcheng, the emperor of the country?" Mu Hongyi's face suddenly sank. Looking at Mu Xinru and Murong Qiqi again, there was already doubt in his eyes.
If she wants her to believe that the queen of a country has no intention to come to her Sangcheng, how can she easily believe it?
But Mu Xinru still said calmly: "The Qi Yatou is back this time just for my daughter."
"Xinru, make the words clear." Mu Hongyi's face was still not good-looking.
But Mu Xinru was always calm and even spoke quietly: "I can't explain some things clearly to my mother in front of so many people. If I want to know, I will tell you in detail in private, but please believe that Qi Yatou will follow me back this time and will never have any malice to Sangcheng."
Mu Hongyi didn't say anything. She was her daughter. Naturally, she didn't want to doubt it, but after so many things happened tonight, she began to feel a little exhausted.
But Mu Nianqin stepped forward, stared at Mu Xinru and said unhappy: "It is impossible to speak to others. If it is so open and upright, why can't we say it in front of everyone?"
But Mu Xinru didn't even look at her, but only looked at Mu Hongyi.
From her eyes, Mu Hongyi seemed to have seen a lot, and some things were really impossible to say in public.
After pondering for a while, she suddenly waved her hand and said helplessly: "I won't mention this for now."
After asking them both to retreat, she looked at Mu Ruyun again and said in a deep voice: "Then have you taken away anything in my room?"
"No." Mu Ruyun looked firm, without any uneasiness at all. He was so generous that even Mu Hongyi had to start to believe it.
Qiqi smiled and said, "Is there any? I'll search them, and I'll know?"
"Just based on you, what qualifications do you have to search for my body?" Mu Ruyun looked at her squintedly, smiling disdainfully: "This is the Mu family, not the Xuanguo, you are still half an outsider here."
"Of course I don't have the qualifications. Of course, I never thought of searching you." Qiqi spread his hands, looking innocent. She looked at Mu Hongyi and said with a gentle voice: "Grandma, they were two of them together, both of them are suspicious. If grandma thinks it would be indecent to search the third lady of the Mu family, then you can start with this Prince of Sea first."
