“Brother…”
Si Chengfeng looked at Mu Lige worriedly, and he suddenly felt a little regretful for telling Mu Lige everything.
"Fifth brother, big brother is fine."
Mu Lige took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, calming his anger. Although Mu Lige knew that Zuo An had killed many assassins, he had not expected that these assassins came from so many sources.
Previously, he was pregnant, his body was not in good condition, and many things were not convenient for him to do. Now, with two newborn children, he was still in confinement, and his body was already weak, so he needed to spend even more energy to care for the two children. But no matter how tired he was, Su Mulige had to support the two little ones and protect them.
Mu Lige glanced at the little one beside her, a soft touch crossing her heart. The two children, well fed and diapered, were sleeping peacefully, their cheeks rosy and adorable. Mu Lige couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke their hair.
Thinking of the batches of assassins' bodies dragged to the mass grave by the Jingzhao government yesterday afternoon, Si Chengfeng's handsome face couldn't help but become more serious. "Brother, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. Now that we know the mastermind behind the assassinations, you must be even more vigilant."
Mu Lige turned his head to look at Si Chengfeng and smiled at him. That smile was as warm and gentle as the sun. "Fifth brother, I understand. I will remember this love between your father and you."
"Brother, we...we are a family, so there is no need for us to be so discriminating." Si Chengfeng gave Mu Lige a knowing smile.
Today, Si Chengfeng has harmoniously integrated into the husbands in Hua Qingcheng's backyard. Although he is occasionally bullied by Han Yichen and occasionally insulted by Wu Chen, the outspoken guy, they are all harmless things. He truly loves this home that belongs to them.
Last night, Si Chengfeng had read through the identities of over a thousand assassins in the space of a cup of tea, memorizing them by heart. He then spent over an hour writing them down from memory, organizing them, and submitting them to Mu Lige. It was truly a well-intentioned effort.
Mu Lige nodded, and after a moment's thought, he said, "Fifth brother, my eldest brother needs your help with something."
Upon hearing this, Si Chengfeng replied solemnly, "Brother, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
Mu Lige glanced leisurely in the direction of Qiong Yu Palace and spoke in an icy voice, "Your Majesty Ouyang Yuming, the First Princess Nalan Junxue, the Second Princess Nalan Wansheng, the Fifth Princess Nalan Yingping, and the Prince of Pingxi, Xiahou Jing, they probably own quite a few shops in the capital. I wonder if you, Fifth Brother, have the confidence to shut down all of them within a month?"
"Brother, the Si family is a century-old family. I, Si, have been taking advantage of the situation and planning. I have spent five years expanding my business territory across the entire Laifeng Country, all for the purpose of one day leaving the Si family with nothing to earn. Now, I have achieved it."
Si Chengfeng, dressed in moon-white brocade, looked gentle and refined, but the slightly curled corners of his lips and his charming eyes were full of mockery and cunning. "Can the assets under the names of Ouyang Yuming and others be stronger than the century-old Si family? Big brother, I won't need a month, I will try to make you see that they are heavily in debt in just half a month."
"Yes." Mu Lige nodded slightly and smiled tenderly. "Big brother believes in your ability. Please call my second and fourth brothers over later. Oh, and ask my fourth brother to bring Hong Fu with him. Big brother needs to tell them what to do."
"Okay, big brother, you should have a good rest. My dad said that you can't hold the baby often during the confinement period, otherwise your hands will be sore in the future. When the two children wake up, just let the nanny, Shumo, Lixiang and others take care of them. Don't overwork yourself." Si Chengfeng gave Mu Lige some worried instructions before leaving Mu Lige's dormitory.
After Si Chengfeng left, Mu Lige summoned the leader of his secret guards.
"Master, please give me your orders." Ying Yi, who was dressed in black and had a black scarf covering his face, knelt on one knee and saluted Mu Lige.
"Ying Yi, send people to closely monitor Ouyang Yuming, the First Princess Nalan Junxue, the Second Princess Nalan Wansheng, the Fifth Princess Nalan Yingping, the Prince of Pingxi Xiahou Jing, and others. Report any unusual movements immediately. Also, investigate whether these people have had any contact with people from the Lengyue Kingdom."
Mu Lige, leaning against the headboard, though seemingly lazy and casual, exuded the immense pressure of a superior. His gaze was piercing, like a thousand-year-old glacier, gazing at the world with cold and ruthless intensity. His words were brief and powerful, each one like a meteor streaking across the sky, carrying an undeniable firmness and resolve that made his presence impossible to ignore.
"Yes, master." Ying Yi received the order and quickly slipped away.
After Ying Yi left, Situ Ye and Yu Xiaotian also entered Mu Lige's bedroom. However, not only Hong Fu, but Xiao Bai also followed.
Xiaobai lay in the corner, silent and very well-behaved. As for Hongfu, although she was already four months old, she still habitually clung to Xiaobai, who was two or three times her size.
The two tigers' eyes simultaneously turned to the two little cuties lying on the bed beside Mu Lige, their gazes filled with tenderness. However, without permission, they didn't dare approach the two babies.
"Brother, is there anything you need us to do?" After entering the room, Situ Ye came to Mu Lige's bedside and went straight to the point without any polite words.
"Second brother, fourth brother." Mu Lige signaled Situ Ye and Yu Xiaotian with his eyes to move the stools over and sit down, and the two quickly did so.
"Second brother, as far as I know, whether it's the First Princess Nalan Junxue, the Second Princess Nalan Wansheng, or the Fifth Princess Nalan Yingping, they all... have their own private soldiers. Zuo An had a hard time making the thunder bombs before, and now it's time to test the power of these thunder bombs. Find a way to find out where they are secretly training their private soldiers. Just make a show of force to attract the emperor's attention, without hurting anyone. Use their own strength to defeat them, and let the emperor deal with them."
