Huh? How come you're chatting with Xiaoduo?
As far as I remember, this young master of the Marquis of Mu's mansion wasn't someone who liked to chat with people casually.
“Uncle.” Seeing Wei Junpei approaching with a puzzled look, Mu Rongjing greeted him with a smile.
Wei Junpei adopted the dignity of an elder and nodded, saying, "I must thank you for today's matter, Nephew Mu. I have already taken leave today and will not discuss official business. If you have anything to say, Nephew, we can discuss it in court tomorrow."
He had a good relationship with Lord Mu and knew that the boy in front of him was of good character, but the boy and he were not particularly close in private.
Mu Rongjing wasn't stupid; she naturally understood the underlying meaning of Wei Junpei's words—a subtle reminder.
He's acting strangely because he feels he hasn't left yet; he's probably misinterpreting things!
"Uncle, you're too kind. I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to see Miss Hong again, so I stayed to say hello," Mu Rongjing explained with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Wei Junpei looked at Hong Xiaoduo and, seeing the smile on her face, realized that the two of them knew each other.
Yes, that explains why this kid stood up and said he believed it when the man surnamed Gu publicly questioned Xiao Duo's ability to identify blood relatives this morning.
Wei Junpei shook his head in self-deprecation, realizing he had initially thought it was Lord Mu, a friend of his, signaling for the child to stand up for him.
"Xiaoduo, you two chat. I'll go see the clan leader. They insist on going back today." Since they already knew each other, and seeing that Hong Xiaoduo didn't dislike the Mu family boy, Wei Junpei was relieved.
Hong Xiaoduo guessed that he seemed frightened, but she didn't dare to ask him directly, after all, he was the head of a clan.
"Young Lady Hong, we need to take Kaiyang to see the clan chief." Wei Zizheng and his wife walked over with Kaiyang, smiled at Murong Jing first, and then said to Hong Xiaoduo.
"Kaiyang greets Young Master Mu." Kaiyang didn't need his master to speak; he stepped forward and bowed to Murong Jing.
"I didn't know Uncle Wei's grandson was you when I came, so I didn't prepare a gift. I'll make it up to you later," Mu Rongjing replied with a smile.
Watching Kaiyang follow Wei Zizheng and his wife towards the backyard, turning back every few steps, while Hong Xiaoduo's gaze remained fixed on the child, Mu Rongjing asked, "Where are Tian Shu and the others? Didn't they come with us? Also, how long will you be in the capital this time..."
