"Are you afraid I'll kick him out?"
Chengli is indeed worried about this, but actually, his older brother is doing quite well now.
"Actually, you don't need to say anything, I can guess some of it. Your older brother led you through a life of fighting and killing, and his sword is the best proof of that. Since I am willing to keep him here, I will not send him away unless he wants to leave on his own. The same goes for you."
Cheng Li looked up at Mu Chen Shuang and said, "My brother said he is an assassin. Over the years, he has killed many people, and we have been hunted down. But no matter who my brother is, I will follow him."
"For you to go to such lengths to find him, it seems he is really important to you. No matter who he was before, your elder brother is now my bodyguard."
Seven Nights is certainly no ordinary assassin.
“I can also be Miss’s bodyguard. I learned martial arts from my older brother, and I am very strong.”
As he spoke, he raised his arm and bent it, trying to show off his muscle strength.
Mu Chenshuang smiled and said, "Alright, from now on you will follow Sister Linglong and help her. But you must stand on Sister Linglong's side from now on, because your older brother often bullies her."
Chengli nodded, "Chengli will definitely protect Sister Linglong."
After saying that.
Chengli immediately rose and kowtowed on the ground, saying, "Chengli will serve you like a slave to repay your kindness, Miss."
"Alright, get up now!"
Mu Chenshuang kept Chengli by her side.
When Mu Yazhi learned that Mu Chenshuang had brought the beggar back, she complained to her mother, but was scolded by Lu Wei.
Lu Wei was severely injured and hadn't bothered Mu Chenshuang these past few days.
That day, Consort Ling told her about the Empress Dowager's summons to Mu Chenshuang. If Consort Ling hadn't arrived in time, how would she have known that Mu Chenshuang had gossiped about Mu Chenshuang in front of the Empress Dowager and even caused the Empress Dowager to have a problem with her? Fortunately, Consort Ling was there.
Given the Empress Dowager's favor towards Mu Chenshuang, it's entirely possible that she might issue an imperial edict ordering Mu Chenshuang to take over the entire Marquis's residence.
Now that the Empress Dowager has recovered, Mu Chenshuang has another powerful backer. We must not allow Mu Chenshuang to have any chance to gain anything from the Empress Dowager.
"He's just a beggar. What do you think a beggar can do to that slut?!"
Mu Yazhi was scolded and bit her lip in grievance. She was indignant and wished she could cut Mu Chenshuang into a thousand pieces. She would never let it go like this.
"Then Mother, please rest. I won't disturb you any longer."
He turned and left.
Lu Wei suddenly stopped her and said, "Find a reason to invite Wei Xu to your residence tomorrow."
Mu Yazhi asked in confusion, "Mother, what idea have you come up with?"
"You should find a way to call him here."
Mu Yazhi didn't ask any further questions and nodded, saying, "Okay, I understand."
The next day.
The appointed day for Fu Junheng's medical appointment arrived.
Since she promised to treat him, she kept her word.
But after the last incident, she wouldn't let him act recklessly again.
Before leaving home.
Mu Chenshuang instructed Linglong and Chengli to stay in the courtyard and not go anywhere. Lu Wei had suffered a setback and was taken advantage of by her, and had not retaliated for so many days. Logically speaking, this was not her style. She might be holding back her anger.
Linglong kept Mu Chenshuang's words in her heart.
"Don't worry, Miss, I'll be careful."
"I will also protect Sister Linglong," Chengli promised.
Mu Chenshuang reached out and patted his head, then hummed in agreement.
Then.
Mu Chenshuang and Qi Ye then left the Marquis's residence.
Upon arriving at Yaoguang Residence, we were already greeted by people waiting outside.
Mu Chenshuang then followed the guards inside.
