Chapter 97 What's good?
"Yunqi is back. The chicken soup is warming up in the kitchen. Have a bowl before going to sleep."
Ye Rong was in her early forties and very well-maintained. Her face was firm and her figure was plump. At that moment, she was smiling as she called the servants to the kitchen to serve soup.
This was her favorite thing to do - to act virtuous in front of Mu Shicheng.
Mu Yunqi just happened to be a stubborn person and would never accept her kindness. Every time she offered some suggestions that seemed to be good for Mu Yunqi, he would refuse. At this time, Ye Rong would act caring, never blaming him, never showing any grievance, and would continue to "do good for him" next time.
"good."
Ye Rong's mouth froze. What was so good about it? That was the traditional hot soup she planned to give to her son for breakfast tomorrow morning!
Sipping from the soup bowl, Mu Yunqi glanced at the so-called Mrs. Mu and his elder brother out of the corner of his eye, and his mind couldn't help but recall Qin Qinsen's earlier words.
"Seeing is not necessarily believing. Painting the skin and bones is not as good as painting the heart. Are you sure that the person you know is really the person you know?"
'Don't believe me? You do as I say tonight.'
After drinking the soup, Mu Yunqi turned around and went back to his room without saying goodbye.
Seeing this impolite look, Ye Rong breathed a sigh of relief. Facing Mu Shicheng's dissatisfied eyes, she said softly, "It's okay. Yunqi drank the soup I made. This is the greatest affirmation of me."
"You." Mu Shicheng patted his wife's hand and shook his head and sighed, "I am sorry for you."
Ye Rong said nothing more, and just snuggled up to her husband as usual, hiding the pride in her eyes.
Midnight, in a corner room on the second floor of the Mu family villa.
Mu Yunqi sat on the balcony with a bowl of water, a knife and a handful of soil at his side.
When Mu Yunqi first heard that he was not an illegitimate child, he was skeptical. After all, in order to prove his identity, before returning to the Mu family, he had done a genetic test with the Mu family father and son, and the three of them were indeed related by blood.
Mu Shicheng and his wife were known for their love, and the fact that they had an illegitimate child had already shocked the outside world. However, Ye Rong took the initiative to bring the child back to the Mu family, and even gained a good reputation for being pregnant.
"Don't you think Mu Yunyou is becoming more and more like you?"
Qin Qinsen's words made Mu Yunqi tremble uncontrollably.
He still remembered being brought back to the Mu family in middle school. Everyone who saw him and Mu Yunyou was puzzled as to why the illegitimate child looked so much like Ye Rong. As they grew older and graduated from university, their appearances were already 80% similar.
Mu Yunqi no longer hesitated.
The tip of the knife pierced his fingertip, causing blood to flow out. He silently recited the spell Qin Qinsen had taught him. While reciting, he scooped up soil with his bloodstained hands and sprinkled it into the bowl of water bathed in moonlight.
The soil was so fine that it didn't float or sink when it fell into the water. Instead, it caused the water to swirl. The water in the bowl spun faster and faster until it finally shot straight up and flew out.
The water mixed with mud stopped in front of Mu Yunqi, and the moonlight shone on the water, forming a clear mirror.
In the mirror are Mu Yunyou and Ye Rong.
"Mom, how long will it take before we can start?"
"Right away, don't worry." Ye Rong wiped a jade pendant in her hand and smiled gently.
"But that guy is so annoying, can't he just speed up?"
"Why rush? Wait until the twin jade pendants completely change color, then it's time to take action. Everything the Mu family owns will eventually belong to us, mother and son."
Twin jade pendants?
Mu Yunqi couldn't help but look at the jade pendant in Ye Rong's hand. He didn't know whether it was the water or the moonlight that heard his thoughts. The camera zoomed in and gave a close-up of the jade pendant.
The appearance was exactly the same as his, except that the originally dark green jade pendant was now emitting a white light, as if it was entangled with impurities and was no longer pure.
"Is the Twin Jade Pendant really that useful? How did Mom do it?"
"Ye Rong is much easier to deal with than this brat. Just act pitiful and obedient. But she is really pretty. No wonder she can charm Mu Shicheng."
Ye Rong raised a strange smile on her face, stood up and handed the jade pendant to Mu Yunyou, signaling him to keep it, "Don't let Mu Shicheng see it, at most three months, everything will be over."
Ye Rong frowned as she stroked Mu Yunyou's cheek. "That guy is too dark, and it made your skin rough. Once it's completely changed, I'll take you to a beauty salon for some maintenance."
In exchange... what? Face? Or life?
At some point, the moon pulled a cloud as a veil, the water flow dissipated with the moonlight, and the soil returned to its original state and fell into the bowl.
Mu Yunqi sat on the balcony in a daze. When he came to his senses, it was already bright outside.
"Master Qin."
"sit."
Qin Qinsen propped up his chin and looked at the person who came. "I saw it."
"Um."
"What do you want to do next?"
"My mother..."
"Do you have her birth date? A photo would be best."
Mu Yunqi took out the photo and the year of birth and death, and looked at Qin Qinsen who was pinching his fingers with anticipation.
"Your mother, Ye Rong, died from a sorcery. She had never done anything evil in her life. Three days after her death, she was taken away by the underworld officials to line up for reincarnation." Qin Qinsen saw that the people were a little depressed and asked, "What do you think of these two now? Is it a tit-for-tat fight, or is it good for you, me, and everyone else?"
Looking up and meeting Qin Qinsen's gaze, Mu Yunqi pulled the corners of his mouth apart, revealing his sharp white canine teeth. "Master Qin, do you think I'm kind?"
"The jade pendant is in my hands. Without the female ghost causing evil, the changes in the other jade pendant will soon stop. Within three days, they will notice something is wrong. In addition, the person who cast the evil spell of changing one's appearance and fate must be found, otherwise all efforts will be in vain."
Mu Yunqi was in a dilemma. He had the determination to take revenge, but he had no idea where to start.
"We're already checking, don't worry." The speaker was Teng Su, who was holding three cups of milk tea. "Try the internet-famous version in the store."
Qin Qinsen took the cup with the skateboarding panda printed on it, lowered his head and took a sip. When he looked up again, his eyes were shining and he kept blinking at Teng Su.
Teng Su understood and handed over his cup. Then he said to the stunned Mu Yunqi, "We will help you this time, but there is one condition."
Hearing that there were conditions, Mu Yunqi felt relieved.
He had always had bad luck. Whenever something seemingly lucky happened to him, there would definitely be a big pit waiting for him. Therefore, it was best for Teng Su to negotiate with him.
"Teng has invested."
"good."
He agreed decisively without any hesitation.
"Think carefully before answering. There's no regrets."
Hearing Qin Qinsen's words, Mu Yunqi smiled carefreely, "Master Qin can see that I'm not an illegitimate child, so he can definitely see that I have no business management ability and no interest in the Mu family's company. As long as that mother and son get retribution, I don't care."
"You don't care about Mu Shicheng?" Although he knew Mu Yunqi's attitude, Qin Qinsen still asked.
As expected, Mu Yunqi smiled disdainfully, "He hasn't even noticed the change of bedmates for decades, so why should he care?"
Or maybe he had already noticed something was wrong, but just didn't care.
