Chapter 118 Nothing Good Happens



As for how to solve this once and for all, we'll have to ask Fu Yunchen again.

Mu Run found the steward and said that someone had come to pick her up. She wanted to stay in the manor for two more days and that he could assign her some work, but she didn't want any wages.

The person in charge was easy to talk to and agreed immediately, but did not assign her any work.

Qiaoyu and Xiaoxing are looking for her.

They were all startled when they suddenly saw her returning with a bundle on her back.

Qiaoyu, "Where are you going?"

Xiaoxing was also very worried.

Mu Run left without telling them, only leaving a letter under each of their pillows, which they haven't found yet.

He then took out the two letters from under their pillows. "I originally planned to leave the Grand Commandant's mansion quietly, but I couldn't make it. There are still some things to take care of."

Qiaoyu took the letter from her hand, held the envelope upside down and looked at it, "You wrote us a letter, but we can't read."

Mu Run: "...It was my oversight, I'm sorry."

Xiao Xing said, "It's good that she left. Miss Bao Chan was always finding fault with you. If she pushed you into the water again one day, would you even be able to survive?"

******

The Grand Commandant's study.

Fu Yunchen sat at his desk, reviewing the files with a serious expression.

Holding a letter in his hand, Qiao Dongzi walked in with a beaming smile as he knocked on the door. "Sir, there's news about Old Liu."

Fu Yunchen took the letter.

After reading the letter, he pondered for a moment. "His Majesty ordered me to go to Yunlong Mountain to suppress the witches during the morning court session this day. Once we leave the capital, we will split into three groups: one main force and two light cavalry outposts. You and I will take the supplies and meet up with Lao Liu. After handing the supplies to him, we will head to Yunlong Mountain."

"I'll just take the supplies; you should stay with the main force, sir."

"No, I need to see for myself that Lao Liu is alright." A resolute glint flashed in Fu Yunchen's eyes.

Qiao Dongzi's eyes welled up with tears. "Yes, boss."

...

The servants' quarters were a large open room where more than a dozen maids slept together.

After soaking their feet, Mu Run and Xiao Xing chatted for a while before getting into bed to sleep.

At this moment, a nanny and Xiao Li entered the main room and first glanced at all the maids.

Finally, Xiaoli's gaze fell on Murun, "Hualing, come out here."

Mu Run had no choice but to crawl out of the warm bed, putting on his coat as he asked, "Does Miss Bao Chan have any instructions?"

Little Fox replied, "Yes, hurry up."

Mu Run quickened his pace, glancing sideways at Xiao Xing and Qiao Yu.

But they all looked at him with pity; calling for help in the middle of the night couldn't be anything good.

Mu Run felt as if she had fallen into an abyss, and the situation was getting increasingly dire.

After following Xiaoli out of the servants' quarters, Xiaoli gave her an antidote for the Heart-Eating Gu. "The reason why you pushed me into the water last time was because you were angry with the adults and were also reprimanded by Princess Xiaoan, so you took your anger out on me. This is an antidote to make up for it."

"Oh, thank you, young lady, thank you, Sister Xiaoli." Mu Run took the antidote, thinking to herself: Could it be that she's really that kind, coming all the way here in the middle of the night to deliver the antidote to me?

"My lord is going to Yunlong Mountain to quell the rebellion. Among the Dark Crows in the manor, only you are skilled at riding a horse, so this time the young lady is asking you to accompany my lord to Yunlong Mountain. If my lord does anything unusual on the way, remember to report it in time, otherwise there will be no antidote later."

As expected, nothing good came of it. Mu Run obediently replied, "I understand."

"Understood. Go find the adults; they're leaving tonight."
