Mu Feng'er was originally very sad, but after hearing what Qin Cuiyun said, she instantly became happy again.
"That's right! My sister is a goddess with a gold spiritual root, and now she is the Second Prince's consort. We also got Fulu Villa, which was given by the Emperor. In any case, she is better than that bitch Mu Lingjiu!"
Mu Cheng groaned in pain while lying in the carriage, and couldn't help cursing.
"Mu Lingjiu is a waste now. Do you think she can really keep the property under her name? There are so many people who want to deal with her!"
Several people discussed and headed towards Fulu Villa.
Mu Lingjiu went into the warehouse to count the Mu family's property.
After an inventory, it was discovered that the Mu family’s warehouse was filled with beauty-enhancing supplements, and the family was very rich on paper.
But compared to the beginning, it has shrunk a lot. Most of the family property left by his mother has been spent by Mu Cheng and Qin Cuiyun over the years.
The accountant in Fourth Uncle's business and Mu Lingjiu checked the accounts overnight.
Mu Cheng and Qin Cuiyun are not only greedy but also useless. They have caused many of the Mu family's shops to go bankrupt. Now the remaining ten or so shops are all extremely profitable talisman paper shops and spirit stone shops.
Qin Cuiyun even spent most of the money in the mansion on buying various skin care products.
Another large expense is Mu Linghuang's cultivation.
Over the years, the materials used by Mu Linghuang for cultivation were dozens of times more than those used by Mu Lingjiu, and all kinds of natural treasures were spent like water.
Mu Linghuang is only at the fourth level of spiritual strength now, but she is considered a darling of heaven in the State of Chu.
Mu Lingjiu reorganized the accounts of the money spent by several people.
Spanning more than a decade, they kept track of every single expense to make it easier to collect debts.
It was already the next morning when they finished checking the accounts. Mu Lingjiu and a dozen accountants walked out of the room looking sleepy.
"Jiu'er, your uncle has ordered a banquet to celebrate your return home. You can eat something first." Mu Yushu was standing at the door in a dress with a flying crane flowing sand pattern and a white jade crown on his head. He looked like a calligrapher in a painting, extremely elegant.
Mu Lingjiu nodded, and only then did he feel a little hungry.
The Sky-Swallowing Beast appeared on Mu Yushu's shoulder, holding a large pill in its claws and eating it with relish.
Now the Sky-Devouring Beasts have become familiar with the uncles and are running around everywhere.
"Master!" It kicked its legs and took off, landing on Mu Lingjiu's shoulder.
"You're finally done!"
"Where did the pill come from?" Mu Lingjiu took a look at the pill of the Sky-Swallowing Beast. It was a tonic pill, not an ordinary pill.
The Sky Devouring Beast rolled its eyes and whispered, "Did you earn it yourself?"
"Hmm?" Mu Lingjiu tilted her head.
The Sky Devouring Beast coughed lightly and said, "Someone gave it to me because they thought I was cute."
Mu Lingjiu pinched the Sky Devouring Beast's soft rubber ears and held them up in front of him. "Are you sure?"
"Well, Little Ginseng gave it to me. Little Ginseng came to play with me last night."
The Sky-Swallowing Beast didn't dare to tell others that Lu Zhibai had also come. It shrank its neck and secretly observed Mu Lingjiu.
Fortunately, Mu Yushu spoke at this time, "Jiu'er, go eat first."
Mu Lingjiu followed Mu Yushu to the table. Several uncles were there, but grandpa was not.
"Grandpa didn't come?"
"The old man has been in seclusion these days." Fourth Uncle said with a smile, "The old man found that he had a wrinkle, and he was so panicked that he went into seclusion overnight."
Mu Lingjiu recalled his grandfather's appearance. He was about thirty years old and had a good appearance. It was obvious that he had taken good care of himself.
"There are many treasures in the warehouse that can preserve one's youth. I'll pick some out and send them to Grandpa later."
"Don't worry about him! If he continues like this, he will look younger than the eldest brother." Fourth uncle teased without any hesitation.
Mu Yushu was not angry either. He looked about 28 or 29 years old now, and indeed looked not much different from his father. When they went out, others thought they were brothers.
Fifth uncle just smiled and quietly picked up some food for Mu Lingjiu.
Noticing that Mu Lingjiu was eating rice very quickly, the fifth uncle increased the speed at which he served the dishes.
The two of them worked together seamlessly.
At this time, Tang Ze came in from outside and said, "Master, a group of soldiers appeared at the door and said they want to arrest you."
"What the hell are these soldiers?" Third uncle Mu Yufeng stood up in an instant, his sword slung over his shoulder. "I'll go take a look."
Mu Yufeng looks to be about twenty-five or twenty-six, with a very handsome face, but he speaks and acts very violently, giving people the feeling that he could explode at any time.
"It seems to be the Second Prince's men." Tang Ze hurriedly trotted after Mu Yufeng, "Maybe they are unhappy about what happened yesterday."
"Hehe, I'll go meet him." Mu Yufeng rushed out the door as fast as the wind.
Mu Lingjiu quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks and ran over.
At the door, a man in brocade clothes and a dozen officials were standing there.
"I have been ordered to capture Mu Lingjiu!"
"What crime did our Lingjiu commit?" Mu Yufeng swung his sword hard, and a big hole appeared on the ground.
The leading man in brocade clothes was startled.
"You...you don't resist! Mu Lingjiu seized the Second Prince's wife's property. I was ordered to arrest her."
"Bullshit!" Mu Yufeng roared.
"Excuse me, what property did I seize from the Second Prince's wife?" Mu Lingjiu held down his furious third uncle and stood up to ask.
"The Second Prince's wife left dozens of medicinal pills and various rare treasures in the Mu family, which are worth tens of millions of silver taels. You also sold the Second Prince's wife's servants at will. With so many people watching yesterday, you still dared to deny it?" The official in brocade clothes became more and more self-righteous.
"I sold the people." Mu Lingjiu looked at the Jinyi patrol, "But those people were not the Second Prince's wife's. Since you are all here today, I want to sue the Second Prince's wife for stealing my property."
"You..." The imperial guard laughed, "Who are you to sue the Second Prince's wife?"
"The orphan of the general's mansion." Mu Lingjiu spoke each word with great intensity, full of intimidation.
The smile of the imperial guard froze instantly.
Mu Lingjiu questioned, "Are you afraid to arrest the Second Prince's wife and only dare to bully me, an orphan from the General's Mansion? If so, then are you, as an official, representing the Second Prince's lackey, or is it fairness?"
The Jinyiwei official is the prefect of the imperial capital. This official is just a small official in the imperial capital, but he is in charge of many things.
The second prince ordered him to capture Mu Lingjiu early in the morning, and he came without stopping.
After all, the Second Prince might be the future emperor, so he had to curry favor with him. He felt a little embarrassed when Mu Lingjiu said that.
"I am fair. Do you have any evidence to prove your case against the Second Prince's wife?"
"Yes." Mu Lingjiu took out a list that he had copied and organized.
The long scroll contained all the items used by Mu Cheng's family over the past decade or so. The usage and time of every penny and item were clearly written on it.
The onlookers were all shocked.
Even the people in the government were stunned.
All of these natural treasures that flowed like water were used by Mu Linghuang.
It's so scary!
Not to mention being a darling of heaven, even a country chicken would have turned into a golden phoenix after using so many natural treasures.
