Chapter 253 Threat? Ying Zijing Can Cure It [4 Updates]
The Mu family and several other families merely provided a platform for that auction; they were not the true organizers.
Even if there were an antique, Mu Heqing wouldn't pay much attention to it.
All he wanted was to live a carefree life, waiting to hand over the Mu family and drift away on his own.
But because Ying Zijin was there, Mu Cheng paid special attention to her.
So he also learned about what happened at the auction.
Mu Cheng naturally wouldn't bother Mu Heqing with such matters.
But he believed that with just one word from Ying Zijing, Mu Chenzhou would have no chance of inheriting the Mu family.
Mu Chengcai came to ask.
Ying Zijing was drinking tea, but upon hearing this, she didn't stop what she was doing: "Who?"
Mu Cheng: "..."
He's overthinking it.
In Miss Ying's eyes, sometimes even snacks are more important than Mu Heqing.
Not to mention Mu Chenzhou.
How could she possibly care about unimportant people?
That's pretty bad.
Mu Cheng coughed and said very seriously, "No one, Miss Ying, let me help you open the snacks."

Inside the private room.
After Fu Yunshen went inside, he closed the door.
Mu Heqing chose this teahouse because it had good soundproofing.
He sat down cross-legged, thought for a while, and then spoke: "I went to Shanghai a few months ago and saw that your grandfather seemed to be in good health. Did Xiao Ying cure him?"
"Hmm." Fu Yunshen said calmly, "Originally, I had already planned to give up."
It's not about abandoning Grandpa Fu, it's about abandoning himself.
"Fortunately," Mu Heqing breathed a sigh of relief. "Your grandfather was one of my former subordinates. Seeing him suffer from illness made me feel quite sad too."
Old Master Fu's situation is different from his.
He developed a series of health problems because he was shot in a location far from his heart.
Although Grandpa Fu was injured on the battlefield, none of them were fatal. At most, his body was not as agile as that of an ordinary person as he got older.
What truly made Old Master Fu wish he were dead was that overly potent poison.
Mu Heqing knew that Fu Yunshen had consulted some of the most skilled ancient doctors in the medical field.
Even the young lady from the Meng family who had been treating him couldn't compare to these others.
After all, some of these people are older than him, and their experience and knowledge are invaluable.
He couldn't get these ancient doctors to voluntarily leave the field of ancient medicine.
The Meng family, in particular, has members with very eccentric temperaments who don't give others face.
Mu Heqing had tried to ask Miss Meng to treat Mu Weifeng, but she refused.
Even so, these extremely skilled ancient doctors were unable to cure the poison in Old Master Fu's body.
Fu Yunshen lowered his eyelashes: "Grandpa, it's for me."
His lips curved into a gentle smile, but his voice was icy: "If it weren't for me, he wouldn't be like this."
"That incident twenty years ago?" Mu Heqing frowned. "You were only two years old then, you couldn't have stopped it at all."
As he spoke, he took a deep breath: "Don't even mention you, I wasn't there, but after hearing it later, I've developed a mental block about it."
I really don't know how a two-year-old child managed to survive at that time.
Mu Heqing then asked, "You still haven't found those people who went to the Fu family back then?"
"No." Fu Yunshen chuckled. "They haven't come out again, but there have been some traces."
Mu Heqing frowned again: "You can't find anything, that's really unacceptable..."
Twenty years ago, a large group of people went to the Fu family.
The poison in Old Master Fu's body also appeared at that time.
He also investigated the matter, but found nothing.
“Someone from the ancient medical community is looking for you.” Mu Heqing shook his head and changed the subject. “Now that you’ve appeared in the capital, someone from them will probably come knocking on your door soon.”
Fu Yunshen remained silent, his peach blossom eyes lowered, their light flickering.
Mu Heqing thought for a moment and said, "There's something else I'd like to ask you for help with. When you go to the ancient medical community, could you please find an ancient doctor for me?"
“One of my grandsons is not in good health, and his condition has recently worsened.”
"Hmm?" Fu Yunshen smiled. "Isn't Yaoyao here? No one in the ancient medical world is as good as her. She can cure it."
Mu Heqing waved his hand: "I don't want to trouble her."
Fu Yunshen did not refuse: "Okay, tonight is fine, let's go together."
**
Nine o'clock in the evening.
The Mu family is in chaos.
When the maid went in to deliver something to Mu Weifeng, she found him unconscious in the courtyard with blood on his lips.
The butler rushed over in a panic and immediately took him to the Imperial Hospital.
All the cardiology and pulmonology specialists were called to the ICU.
This wasn't the first time Mu Weifeng had performed major surgery, but this time it seemed particularly dangerous.
Even Madam Mu did not expect that Mu Weifeng's health would deteriorate so quickly.
But this is a good thing for her.
Mrs. Mu took a taxi to the Capital Hospital.
As soon as she went upstairs, she saw Mu Yuxi.
Mu Weifeng's younger sister.
Mu Yuxi was still in school. She was wearing her school uniform, carrying her schoolbag, her forehead was covered in sweat, and her eyes were red.
When Madam Mu arrived, she confirmed that neither Mu Cheng nor Mu Heqing would be home that evening.
She walked over gracefully, carrying her bag: "Yuxi, don't worry, your brother is a lucky person, nothing will happen to him."
Mu Yuxi didn't speak, staring at the operating room.
"You see? They can't save your brother." Madam Mu said calmly. "But I can. I told your brother at noon that as long as he withdraws from the Mu family heir assessment, I will help him find a doctor, but he won't listen."
"Look at what's happened to him? He's so sick that he can't even participate in the first assessment."
Mu Yuxi's lips trembled slightly, and she mechanically raised her head: "What did you say?"
Madam Mu looked at her, seemingly enjoying her pale face: "I'll make a deal with you. You withdraw from the assessment, and I'll arrange for someone to treat your brother's illness. How about it?"
Mu Weifeng's illness flared up at just the right time.
This attack prevented him from participating in the assessment.
Even if the treatment is successful, it will take a long time to recover.
Originally, she planned to have Mu Weifeng withdraw from the successor assessment alone, but now even Mu Yuxi is being forced to withdraw.
Since the passing of the third master and his wife of the Mu family, the brother and sister have relied on each other for survival and have a very good relationship.
Madam Mu believed that Mu Yuxi would make the right choice.
Throughout history, there has always been considerable struggle within large families.
Mu Weifeng's illness wasn't caused by her.
Even if Mu Heqing knew about these things, he wouldn't care.
This isn't some kind of setup; it's just normal competition and a transaction.
Mu Yuxi brushed aside the damp stray hairs on her forehead and gritted her teeth: "How should I know if what you're saying is true? So many doctors have been helpless with my brother's illness."
"Believe it or not," Madam Mu said calmly, her words carrying a hidden meaning. "Anyway, your brother's illness can't be delayed any longer. The doctors at the Capital Hospital are very skilled, but they can't compare to the world's top doctors, can they?"
Mu Yuxi didn't say anything, but felt a chill run through her body.
“I’m doing this for your own good. I don’t want to see your brother die like this either.” Madam Mu shook her head. “Alright, you can consider it if you want, but we’ll see how long your brother can hold on.”
After saying that, Madam Mu left.
She walked to the side, but Ke Huizhu grabbed her hand: "Sister, what if she doesn't agree? If Mu Weifeng dies, then it will be a loss."
"Huizhu, don't worry." Madam Mu waved her hand. "His illness won't last much longer. If the Mu family could treat him, wouldn't they have done so long ago?"
“This renowned doctor has no connection with the Mu family, and only you can hire him. Just watch, Mu Yuxi will come begging to me in a little while.”
Ke Huizhu was still very anxious, but after hearing what Madam Mu said, she could only wait.
Less than three minutes later, Ke Huizhu saw Mu Yuxi, who was standing at the door of the operating room, walking towards her.
"Look." Madam Mu smiled, very disdainfully, "You've come. You could have just agreed, why did you have to argue with me?"
"Little girl, no matter how strong you are, you lack experience and are easy to manipulate."
Ke Huizhu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Sister, you understand her best."
The Mu family believed that siblings should not kill each other, and the relationships between brothers and sisters were mostly very good.
Unlike the Ke family, where even biological brothers can abandon each other.
That's what she's worried about too.
Sure enough, Mu Yuxi came over and said, "I promise you, but you must cure my brother's illness."
She wasn't unaware of Madam Mu's intentions, but she had no choice but to comply.
Mu Weifeng's life is more important than participating in the successor assessment.
Even if it's just a sliver of hope.
"Don't worry." Madam Mu took out a document. "As long as you sign this and withdraw from the assessment, I will arrange a doctor for you."
A pen was forcibly shoved into Mu Yuxi's hand, and her hand trembled, unable to write the first stroke for a long time.
"Mu Yuxi, aren't you going to sign yet?" Madam Mu said coldly. "Do you want to watch your brother die? Is this how a sister should act? Are you trying to kill him?"
Mu Yuxi took a deep breath, finally managed to steady her hands, and began to sign.
Look at this four updates today, shouldn't we be able to scrape together at least one monthly pass? Two might even be possible.
