"Feng Mu!" Jin's mother called his name anxiously from behind.
Feng Mu frowned in disgust: "I already told you not to call me by that name anymore. Every time you do, it reminds me of that man saying how much he admired that woman surnamed Feng, and it makes me feel incredibly nauseous! My name is Liu Mu now."
Liu Mu, Liu is his mother's surname.
He kept that name because his mother called him: "Mu'er, Mu'er."
If it weren't for this reason, he would be willing to change everything from start to finish.
After leaving the brothel, Liu Mu took out a small, grayish bird from his pocket. The bird was only the size of a palm and its color was not very bright, but its dark eyes were very intelligent.
"Xiaoxiao, let's go find the person we just saw!"
The bird circled Liu Mu a few times and chirped merrily, as if in response to him. Then it flew off with perfect accuracy in the direction Lu Qingyan had left.
Uh, there's such a tracking operation? If Lu Qingyan read this, she would definitely curse someone for cheating. Who would have thought that he would rely on this little guy to find someone? It seems she can't escape his grasp.
As Liu Mu walked, he realized the road seemed familiar, as if it led to a certain place. This discovery made him hesitate. But then he remembered he wasn't going to see that woman, but to collect the deposit, and he felt much more relaxed, stopping his thoughts. However, as he peered over the wall at the familiar decorations in the courtyard, Liu Mu's brow twitched.
Sure enough, he guessed right; this was indeed the Prince De's residence.
The only person in Prince De's mansion who could come up with so much money at once seemed to be his newlywed wife, Fu Ziwu.
Her father was a second-rank censor, and her mother was the eldest daughter of the Li family, a scholarly family. The dowry that Fu Li gave her was so generous that it made men and women all over the capital envious.
What does Fu Ziwu want with that money? Is it because of the concubine that Prince De recently married?
Thinking of this, Liu Mudi felt a pang of heartache.
Fortunately, he didn't listen to Madam Jin and get involved with the Prince De's household emotionally. If Fu Ziwu really came to him to deal with that concubine, then her feelings for Prince De were obvious.
In that case, whatever he does will be in vain, only adding to the absurdity of the situation. How is he any different from that woman back then? They both destroyed other people's families! He didn't want to become the kind of person he despised.
And that Prince De is no good either. He only married Fu Ziwu three months ago, and he couldn't wait to bring this concubine into the family. Why can't he consider his wife more?
On their wedding night, Shangguan Ren sneezed several times in a row. Consort Rou, looking at him with concern, cupped his face and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong? Have you caught a cold? Should I go and fetch the imperial physician now?"
Rou'er's intentions were genuine, but marrying a new bride yesterday and then summoning the imperial physician today easily leads to speculation.
Does Shangguan Ren want everyone to guess whether he is inadequate in some aspect or whether he is exercising too frequently?
He can't bear the shame!
Shangguan Ren rubbed his nose: "It's nothing, go to sleep. We can talk about it tomorrow morning. You still have to serve tea to the Princess, so you must get some rest."
Rou'er blushed and lightly punched Shangguan Ren's chest with her small fist: "It's all your fault!"
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault." No matter what Rou'er said, Shangguan Ren smiled and admitted it.
