Mu Ci was speechless and reached out to pat her on the back gently to comfort her.
After a moment, Zhou Shuo let go of Mu Ci and sat up straight, "Brother, what should we do now?"
Zhou Shuo is a strong grass!
Mu Ci felt both distressed and relieved.
He looked at Zhou Shuo and said, "I'm sorry. It's my fault that I put you in such a complicated situation and caused you so much trouble. I—"
Zhou Shuo put his hand over his lips and said with a smile, "What are you talking about, brother? We are husband and wife, how can there be any apology or injustice? We should help each other! Protect each other! And fight those bad guys together!"
Mu Ci held her hand and kissed her palm gently.
Zhou Shuo was ticklish, so he laughed and pulled his hand back.
Mu Ci sighed softly, "You've been protected by your master and senior brothers since you were young. Now that you're by my side, I want to give you the same protection they give you, so you can be worry-free. But from the first day, you've been worrying about me all the time. I feel so sorry for you."
Zhou Shuo feigned anger, "Alright, stop saying things like that, never again! Master and my brothers won't protect me from all the hardships of my life, and you shouldn't think that way either. I don't like the human heart and the ghost realm, but I can't escape it either! What needs to be faced must be faced. There's only a thousand years of thieves, but how can you guard against thieves for a thousand years? Don't you agree?"
Mu Ci couldn't help but sigh in his heart. How could he be so worthy that God gave him such a good girl?
He must cherish him.
He nodded gently, "Okay, then we will face it together."
"Well, that's more like it. Then tell me how we should deal with those ladies downstairs." Zhou Shuo was in high spirits.
She doesn't cause trouble and doesn't like to be meddlesome, but she is not afraid of trouble and doesn't avoid it. Once she decides to do something, she will face it with 100% seriousness.
The more Mu Ci understood Zhou Shuo, the more he loved and was pleased with him.
"Zhou Shuo, I don't want to drive them away. I want to see what they are going to do." Mu Ci expressed his thoughts frankly.
Zhou Shuo's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "I'm just a little worried that you'll be hurt by your mother. She almost never considers your feelings, which is what I dislike most about her. If you can ignore what she says and does, then let her stay."
Mu Ci smiled bitterly, "I'm used to it. If I used to feel heartbroken, now I'm just numb. I have no hopes or expectations for her. I'm not surprised by how she treats me. For a while, I didn't understand why her biological mother treated me this way. Maybe she couldn't explain it either, so I don't dwell on it anymore."
Zhou Shuo leaned forward and kissed him gently on the forehead. "That's great. I won't think about why my parents, even though I'm their biological daughter, are so focused on their adopted daughter and refuse to accept me. That's not our problem. We can't let ourselves be consumed by the injustice others have done to us."
Mu Ci was shocked. He had never thought about such a simple truth.
Zhou Shuo exhaled softly, "My master said that a person's life is only a few short decades long. Minus the first dozen years when you can't make your own decisions, and then minus the last dozen years when you're old and can't make your own decisions, there really isn't much left. So, the most important thing in life is not to make things difficult for yourself, and not to make things difficult for yourself along with others."
Mu Ci smiled, his mood suddenly brightening. "Well, then let those who embarrass us also experience the feeling of being embarrassed!"
Zhou Shuo smiled slyly, "My second brother said, if people don't mess with me, I'll do one good deed a day. If people mess with me, I'll wipe out my entire family! My third brother said, the world of martial arts is dangerous, if you can't do it, just retreat. The most important thing in life is to be happy and comfortable. Anything that makes you uncomfortable is not worth it and meaningless! What do you think, brother?"
Mu Ci nodded, "That's very philosophical. If your second senior brother could say something like that, what does your third senior brother do?"
Zhou Shuo shook his head. "I don't know. Anyway, they can support themselves and they must be living happily. There's no need to worry about them! Let's worry about ourselves first! Zhou Le is a man with a lot of tricks up his sleeve. He's two-faced in front of people and behind their backs. Brother, you must be careful!"
"When I first returned to the Zhou family, Zhou Le threatened suicide several times, scaring them so much that they almost kicked me out. If it weren't for the sudden engagement with the Mu family, I'm afraid Zhou Le would have kicked me out. So don't be fooled by her appearance. If she comes to seduce you, don't fall for it!"
Zhou Shuo directly expressed his concerns, because apart from "seduction", Zhou Shuo really couldn't think of what else Zhou Le could do.
This little look made Mu Ci happy. He pinched her chin and said with a smile, "Will our Zhou Shuo be jealous?"
Zhou Shuo nodded, "Of course, if another woman covets my husband, I certainly won't want that, and I will be on guard!"
Mu Ci laughed loudly, and the haze in his heart had mostly dissipated.
"If my guess is correct, and Mu En is indeed related to Zhou Le, then Zhou Le coming home to disrupt things was most likely instructed by Mu En."
Zhou Shuo then remembered, "Oh, why did Grandpa leave in anger?"
Mu Ci looked a little strange, and said calmly, "Grandpa wanted to announce that I was the heir to the Mu family, but I refused. I recommended Mu En to Grandpa, but Grandpa disagreed. I didn't think he was angry at the time, so he made Mrs. Tian and the others think he was angry and left. He must have done it on purpose to show me. Now that Mother and the others have moved in, I shouldn't try to appease Grandpa yet, and let him make the fake play real."
Zhou Shuo looked at Mu Ci with eyes wide open in shock, "Is this even possible? Wouldn't Grandpa be really angry then? He's old, and getting angry is bad for his health!"
"If grandpa stayed, he would be really angry if he saw them acting so recklessly. My mother has never been a sensible person who cares about others." Mu Ci reminded.
Zhou Shuo was speechless. That’s true.
"What about grandpa?" Zhou Shuo was worried.
Mu Ci said, "It's okay. He has a family doctor. You can go see him when you have time. If he doesn't come back, there's no need to be angry. Once we get rid of all the people downstairs, it won't be too late to pick him up."
After thinking about it, it made sense, Zhou Shuo nodded.
Now we have to find a way to deal with the people downstairs!
