Just as Mousse was about to go out, he saw his eldest nephew and niece coming back from outside. He knew that Murong Shu and Mu Sishu stayed overnight at Wen's house yesterday, but when he saw the jade pendant on his niece's waist, Mousse recognized it as Wen Jing's jade pendant at a glance.
"Shu'er, how come the jade pendant of the third young master Wen is here with you? How can you want the jade pendant of the third young master Wen?" Mousse seemed to be asking Murong Shu, but he was actually looking at Mousse Shu.
"Second Uncle, this is a thank-you gift from the Third Young Master Wen. If you don't believe me, ask your eldest brother." Murong Shu and Mu Siquan looked at Mu Sishu.
Mu Sishu nodded helplessly. He saw with his own eyes that Wen Jing gave the jade pendant to his sister, but he did not hear Wen Jing say that it was a thank-you gift. However, his sister said it was a thank-you gift, so he could only nod.
Seeing his nephew nod with disbelief on his face, Mu Si did not even leave the door. He sent Murong Shu back to Guiningyuan and took Mu Sishu directly to find his elder brother.
"Brother, this is really Wen Jing's jade pendant. Each of the three brothers of the Wen family has one such jade pendant. Wen Ye has shown off in front of me. What does it mean that the Third Master Wen is giving it directly to Shu'er now?"
In the Mu family's study, Mu Si paced back and forth anxiously, fearing that his little niece had been abducted by the Wen family.
"Second brother, don't go. You've made me dizzy. Take a look at this." Mu Shi took out a letter from the compartment. It was sent by Taoist Shan Gu yesterday.
When he received the letter yesterday saying that it was designated for him, he was surprised for a moment, but after reading the letter, he immediately understood everything.
After reading the letter, Mousse and Mousseshu had similar expressions to Mu Shi. Mousse asked unwillingly, "Brother, could it be that the Taoist priest in the Valley is playing a joke on us?"
"No, Shu'er is the disciple of Valley Taoist, he won't joke about such things." Mu Shi really thought seriously about Mousse's question, but finally rejected it himself.
"But, didn't we say before that if you die young at the age of sixteen, your fate will automatically be broken? Why did your fate change again after you returned to Beijing? And you have to find your destined person to live a long and smooth life."
Mousse was puzzled, but what the Taoist in the Valley said in the letter was certain.
"Father, did the Taoist priest in the Valley tell us who the destined person is?" Mu Sishu was quite anxious. He had to find his sister who had finally come home, no matter who she was.
"The master said that this man has appeared beside Shu'er and gave his birth month. I have eliminated all the men that Shu'er has met since returning to the capital. Apart from the one from your maternal grandfather's family, the third young master Wen is the most qualified."
Mu Shi felt a little troubled when he thought about the results of his investigation. The Wen family was powerful and influential, and he couldn't just snatch the third son of the Wen family back for his daughter.
"Father, I also have something I want to tell you and my second uncle. I think Mr. Wen doesn't seem to be sick, but more like he's been possessed by evil spirits." Mu Sishu thought for a moment and decided to tell his father and second uncle what he had seen.
"What do you mean?" Mousse and Mu Shi were both very curious about what had happened that made Mu Sishu feel that Wen Jing was not sick, but possessed by evil spirits.
Wen Jing organized his words and recounted what happened yesterday when he was holding his sister's hand and was fine, but fell ill as soon as he let go of his sister's hand.
Mu Sishu's words made everyone in the study fall into deep thought.
"Brother, do you think it is possible that the Third Master Wen and Shu'er are destined to be together?" Mousse felt that this was the only explanation that made sense.
"No matter what, the third son of Wen is the main suspect. Let Shu'er have more contact with him. If he is the one, then God bless our Mu family. Even if he is not, we will continue to look for him. We should find a way to get Wen Jing's birth date and let the Taoist of the Valley calculate it."
"Father, I see that the Wen family treats my sister very well. Why don't you let my sister ask the third young master Wen directly? Otherwise, it will not be good for us to investigate." Mu Sishu felt that it was not a good idea to investigate other people's birth dates in private, so it was better to ask directly.
"I'll take care of this matter. Next time I'll get Mr. Wen drunk and ask him, and you'll know the answer." Mousse thought this was a good idea.
"Okay, then you should keep a low profile. Uncle Wen and Prime Minister Wen are both smart people." Mu Shi reminded his second brother. It was not that he did not trust his second brother, but that the Wen family was really powerful.
Murong Shu had no idea about the secret conversation between the few people. After returning home, he lay on the bed holding the jade pendant given by Wen Jing and fell asleep quickly.
After coming out of the study, Mousse immediately asked someone to send Wen Ye an invitation to invite him to drink. Drinking was secondary. The most important thing was that he wanted to find someone to fight.
Wen Ye was in a good mood today. When he saw the post from Mousse, his first reaction was to reject it. It was definitely not a good thing.
But when she received the invitation, Madam Wen was also there. When she heard that it was Master Mu who invited him, and thinking of Murong Shu's help to the Wen family, Madam Wen also advised her husband to get along well with Master Mu.
In this way, Wen Erye set out with the intention of maintaining a good relationship. He went out happily, but limped back home.
Madam Wen Da and Madam Wen Er were discussing what thank-you gift to give to Murong Shu in their mother-in-law's yard when they saw Wen Ye limping back.
"Mother, you have to do something for your son. He is in such a miserable state!" Wen Ye was supported by Xiao Si and cried very sadly.
"Husband, what happened to you? Didn't you go drinking with Master Mu? How did you get yourself like this? Did you fall?" Madam Wen asked with concern when she saw her husband looking so miserable.
"Madam, that Mousse is going too far. He didn't even ask me to drink with him, he just wanted to fight me." Master Wen said angrily.
"But why does Mr. Mu want to fight with you?" Madam Wen felt that a fight would not be for no reason.
"I get angry when it comes to this. That Mu Er is so inexplicable. He said that the third brother shouldn't have given Miss Mu a personal jade pendant. It was all because of me, the elder brother, who didn't teach him well. He beat the third brother because he was afraid that his niece would be unhappy, so he beat me up. I am so miserable."
Not only did Old Madam Wen not believe Mousse's words, even the six-year-old Wen Yu did not believe it, and asked his second uncle
Since it was my brother who didn't teach me well, why didn't he hit my father but only you, my second uncle?"
Wen Yu's words stumped Wen Ye, but how could he know? He and Mousse usually disliked each other, so maybe Mousse was just looking for trouble on purpose.
"Stop howling. Ask the court doctor to take a look. Judging from the sound you make, your injury shouldn't be serious. Shu'er didn't come home last night, so it's normal for your second uncle to be worried."
Having personally experienced what happened last night, in Madam Wen's eyes, Murong Shu is good in every way, and everyone related to Murong Shu has a built-in filter.
"Why is my life so miserable? The jade pendant was given to me by my third brother, so why am I the one who got hurt?"
"Second brother, are you sure that Master Mu is looking for trouble with you because you gave him the jade pendant?" Wen Jing, who was standing nearby, finally understood.
"Of course, what Mousse said could be false."
