Chapter 425 Going the other way
The servant outside Heming Courtyard wanted to speak up to report, but was stopped by old King Zhuo. He turned to look at King De and Mu Hao with a look of gloating.
The two of them had no time to pay attention to him, they were both waiting for the answer.
Soon, Mu Ruilin's hesitant voice came, "But I don't have a throne to inherit? Then... how can I give it up?"
Another childish voice sounded, the voice was childish, but the words were mature, "Even if you announce that you give up, I'm afraid they won't believe it. The Mu family has always tried every means to conceal their identities. Sister's move is the opposite. On the surface, it can indeed block their retreat, but once Brother Ruilin's identity is made public, many times it will not be his turn to make a choice..."
You're right! Mu Hao looked at the pleased expression on Prince De's face and silently mouthed a few words: Your son is good.
Then, Shen Yu's hahahaha laughter came, with a bit of mischievous tone, "Are you stupid? Even if the people of the aristocratic family are stupid, they should have realized it after so many days, right? Does it matter who Mu Ruilin is? He is just a royal symbol, a synonym for revival. The only thing that can prove his identity is the jade pendant? So they must come to rob it..."
"But this is not a jade pendant..."
Tong Yin was interrupted by Shen Yu's voice before she finished speaking. She said in a tone of a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, "Oh my silly brother, the jade pendant and Mu Ruilin are not the focus. Can't we just find someone to assume this identity when the time comes? Besides, why do you think those former noble families said they wanted to restore their names? Changing their names was originally their own behavior. The so-called restoration is just to hope that their existence will be recognized in the name of Ruilin. Just based on this point, I don't believe that they don't have dangerous thoughts..."
She paused and continued, "The Emperor of Luocheng is not an idiot. I don't believe that these things in Zhuocheng will not reach his ears. So, Ruilin's announcement of giving up the royal status of the Mu family is essentially just to fool the emperor and the royal nobles. Another meaning is, since I said I have no ambitions, it's none of my business whether others listen to me or not. Don't blame me if something goes wrong! If you want me to say, those noble families must think the same. After all, it's Ruilin who will die after the failure, not them... So we just need to get rid of this blame. If you take it seriously, you will lose, do you understand?!"
Several voices sounded at the same time, "Got it."
Mu Hao, "…………" The more she talked, the more outrageous it became. He really couldn't listen any more. Was this how she taught her brothers and sisters? What kind of perverse theories were these?
"Princess Zhuo, if you don't know how to teach your brother, how about I help you?"
The people in the yard turned around when they heard the voice. Shen Yu was surrounded and her vision was blocked. But she recognized the voice. Based on the principle of losing the battle, she immediately retorted, "Ha! You are so impatient to come here. It turns out that you, Mu, are the Mu of the Ruilin family! But I'm sorry, the younger brother of the Mu family is now surnamed Yu, how about you join us? But it's hard for me to recognize such a big brother like you..." Ever since she knew that this person was a supporter of Lu Yingxing's death plan, Shen Yu's favorability towards him directly turned from zero to negative.
Mu Ruilin's eyes were fixed on the middle-aged man who had just stepped into the courtyard and pushed a wheelchair. He searched the man's face carefully, hoping to catch a trace of his blood connection. Such an encounter was simply a luxury for him in the past.
The Mu family...are there still members of their clan still alive in this world?
Facing Mu Ruilin's almost burning gaze, Mu Hao's heart was also uncontrollably filled with waves. Who could have thought that after the tragic turmoil in their Mu family, there was actually a fish that escaped the net in Zhuocheng! !
"you……"
The middle-aged man's voice rang out, and Mu Ruilin suddenly came back to his senses. His eyes flickered, and he unconsciously glanced at his sister beside him. If he guessed correctly, it was not difficult to hear from the verbal confrontation just now that his sister and this person should not get along well...
Realizing this, Mu Ruilin silently took two steps back and stood behind Shen Yu again. The meaning of this action was very clear, and his position was silent but clear.
Shen Yu couldn't help but smile in triumph. There was a hint of playfulness and provocation in her smile. She even shook her head twice on purpose, her movements were full of silent ridicule towards Mu Hao, creating a very exciting atmosphere!
Lu Yingxing looked at his little fox lovingly. With his inner strength, he had known that someone was approaching. From the sound of footsteps, he recognized that one of the people was his father. The person who was brought here by him personally must be of high status. Combined with the news he received two days ago that King De was entering the city...so it was not difficult to guess who the person outside was.
Mu Hao looked at her smug face, veins bulging on his forehead. Seeing a group of little kids looking at them curiously without saying a word, he put on what he thought was a very friendly expression and greeted them, "Hello, kids!"
Yu Mu took the lead in saluting, with a good attitude but a cold expression.
Shen Yu laughed out loud without any hesitation, "Hahahahahaha, look at you, your laughter is uglier than crying, and you still want to deceive my child?"
Mu Hao looked speechlessly at the woman in front of him, lazily lying on the table and laughing at him. If it were in the past, he felt that he would definitely not be able to tolerate such a woman who spoke without restraint! What does it mean to laugh uglier than crying? Can you please speak properly!
He took a deep breath and kept reminding himself in his mind: This is the daughter of his junior sister, this is the sister Mu Ruilin recognized, this is the goddaughter of Prince De... He can't be angry, can't be angry, damn it, can't be angry!!!
Finally, he could see the unbearable anger in his eyes. Shen Yu smiled and walked to the front to salute the few people, "Father,
Yifu, Uncle Mu, how are you?"
Prince De, who was sitting in a wheelchair, looked at her belly unconsciously, his eyes becoming more gentle, "No need to be polite, how are you?"
"Thank you for your concern, foster father. I'm fine... Mu'er, come here." She waved to the back and Yu Mu bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Prince De."
Prince De lowered his eyes, nodded with satisfaction, put a jade pendant in his hand and asked, "Still call me Prince De?"
Yu Mu turned his head slightly to glance at his sister, and a disapproving voice came from the right, "Tsk! What's the matter, men, do you have to ask your sister for everything you do?"
Yu Mu did not answer. He turned around and looked at Shen Yu, waiting for her signal.
Shen Yu glared at Mu Hao over there, stretched out her hand to pull her brother over, leaned down and looked him in the eye, "Mu'er, do you really want to have another father? Although I told you about the relationship between Prince De and our family, the elders' hypocrisy has nothing to do with you. Sister hopes that you can get along with him first before making a decision, okay?"
