When Mu Zheng received his grandmother's call, he was not very surprised, but calmly covered Qingyou's shoulders, and said, "I'll be right back."

Qingyou nodded, he had no idea that Mu Zheng had disposed of those two children privately—who would stand up for a monster?Although he was aggrieved by being beaten, Qingyou never thought of asking Mu Zheng to uphold justice for him.

He turned over and lay softly on the brocade quilt with colorful satin. Underneath was a thick cotton core, which looked extremely soft.

This is Mu Zheng's bed, he also slept on it last night, but at that time he was really afraid of the cold, as soon as he closed his eyes, he fell into a sweet dream.It's not like being sober now.

Qingyou hugged the two soft pillows stacked together, took a deep breath, only smelled a faint scent of plum blossoms, presumably it was the incense used by Mu Zheng.In the past, he also heard from the elders in the clan that some people's body smelled so bad that it was unbearable to see, such people would not even bother to pester monsters.

Mu Zheng obviously does not belong to this category of people, his breath is very good.So that the little monster secretly decided that he had to try it tonight, otherwise after several months, he still failed to return, it would be a failure.

At this time, in the Rui'an Hall where Mrs. Mu was, the atmosphere was solemn.Mrs. An and Mrs. Huang stood on both sides of the old lady. One had a sad expression on her brow, while the other was full of anger, with a hint of gloating—it was not easy to catch the master's handle, this time it was Mu Zheng. I fell into her hands.

Mu Zheng stepped forward and saluted the old lady respectfully, "Grandmother."

Mrs. Mu's face softened a little, after all, she is her most important grandchild, let alone an adult, so she can't be beaten and scolded like a child.

She took a sip of the hookah, and asked slowly: "Your aunt just came here to gossip, saying that you locked your two brothers from the Huang family in the ancestral hall and made them kneel. I wonder if this happened?"

Mrs. Huang came here to file a complaint, and she didn't intend to hide her purpose - if she didn't take advantage of this matter to tear her face, when would she wait?

She looked at Mu Zheng contemptuously, and only waited for the eldest son to tell a big lie, she would expose him in public and slap the eldest son in the face.

Unexpectedly, Mu Zheng just calmly faced the seat, "That's right, it's me."

Mrs. Huang was dazed at first, then she got complacent, stood up abruptly, patted the armrest of the chair, and said in tears: "Look, old lady, you are bullying your own relatives. My wife knows that my brothers can't get on the stage. But you shouldn't be slaughtered by others, son, why are you having trouble with a few children?"

The old lady Mu really looked down on the relatives of the Huang family, and she never showed her face. Now that her second daughter-in-law was acting like a fool, her face was a little hot, and she calmed down, "Shut up! Don't be crazy here. It's really wrong, my wife will have an explanation."

Mrs. An also said anxiously: "Zheng'er, if there is any misunderstanding, please tell us clearly, so that no one can misunderstand what you mean."

After thinking for a while, thinking of the crying words of the younger sister and daughter-in-law just now, Mrs. An frowned and said: "For a long worm, it shouldn't be like this!"

Those two children had been brought by Mrs. Huang to meet the old lady just now. According to them, there was nothing to offend Mu Zheng, they just accidentally tossed some insects for Mu Zheng to see. Zheng immediately ordered people to escort him to the ancestral hall to kneel down, so wronged!

Of course children can lie, but in this case there is no need to lie.

Mrs. An thought about what had happened carefully, and she thought she had reached a conclusion, so she breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Mu Zheng: "The children are ignorant, are you afraid that they will hurt you? Even so, this punishment is too much , should have been released sooner.”

Then he turned to the old lady, "Fortunately, the doctor inspected the wound just now and said it is non-toxic. If one day you are bitten by some poison, will you die?"

Seeing that she was blindly avoiding minor things while focusing on serious ones, as if it was her nephew's fault, Mrs. Huang couldn't help but crooked her eyes with anger, and was about to complain loudly to the old lady when she heard Mu Zheng quietly say: "That blue strip Snakes are a species of tribute from the Western Regions, and next month is Prince Chun's birthday, so it was supposed to be sent as a congratulatory gift."

He looked at Huang Shi coldly, "Fortunately, he has been saved, otherwise, if he is trampled to death by Erlang Saburo and the others, should you bear the responsibility, Auntie, what do you think?"

Huang couldn't help being dumbfounded, it's just a little snake, how could it be so deeply involved?Did he make it up?It doesn't look like it either.

She has only a half-knowledge of human relations in the mansion, no better than the old lady, so the old lady frowned, "Is Prince Chun's birthday next month?"

Mu Zheng saluted politely, and said: "That's right." He sighed again, "Now that strange object has been made to the point of dying, let's see if it can recover after half a month of raising it, otherwise, I'm afraid it will be taken to Prince Chun's mansion. His Royal Highness will still blame him."

The huge government's expenditure is not light, and it is all supported by the commercial ports in the northwest.Mu Zheng has always been in charge of this area. Although the old lady has been indifferent to business recently, she is clear in her heart. She knows that Prince Chun's mediation is indispensable for this transaction. However, this person has a strange personality and is extremely difficult to please. It is Mu Zheng who is ingenious and can often collect information. Only by presenting some rare items, His Highness favored him.

Mu Zheng stood up straight and his voice was like the sound of waves among the pines, "I also want to ask my aunt, knowing that Jiuli Garden has issued a strict order that no outsiders are allowed to set foot, but my aunt deliberately let her two nephews in. I don't know if it was accidental or I'm afraid that our family will benefit and want to make Mrs. Mu guilty?"

Mrs. Huang did not expect that he was usually as silent as a saw-mouthed gourd, but his speech was ruthless and accurate, hitting the vital point directly. I really underestimated this person!If the old lady believed his words, didn't she think that their second wife was ignorant of the general situation and deliberately competed with the first wife, even disregarding the interests of the entire Duke House?

Although she did have this thought, she absolutely dare not do it!

Huang only felt that she was more wronged than Dou E, so she hurriedly explained to her mother-in-law, "Old lady, my daughter-in-law never meant that, and I didn't know that Erlang and the others were so stubborn, they must be strictly controlled when they go back, and they will never dare to do it again. "

Mrs. Mu snorted through her nose, "You know best."

At this moment, the old man's heart has completely turned towards her good grandson, but Huang's heart is bleeding, and he can't speak up. Instead, he has to accompany Mu Zheng with a smiling face, "Mu Zheng is very right, he is so disobedient. They must be taught a good lesson, so that they can have a longer memory.”

After finishing the harsh words, he changed into a timid tone, "As for the congratulatory gift..."

If they were required to pay compensation, the Huang family would not be able to provide much money.

Mu Zheng accepted it as soon as it was good, and said calmly: "Don't worry about the congratulatory gift, Auntie, Prince Chun's nephew will deal with it himself, as long as you don't get involved."

How dare the Huang family use any scheming, it would be nice to stay out of the matter.Even though she felt bitter in her heart, she still had to thank Mu Zheng for his generosity—what kind of worldly troubles are these!

After a while, Mrs. Huang left in despair, and the old lady was too tired to go to the inner room to rest, but Mrs. An stopped Mu Zheng who was about to leave, "Wait a minute."

Looking at her son's young and handsome face, she asked a little late, "I heard from Nanny Qin that you have a new... boy in your backyard?"

It might be a little wrong to say that the boy is wrong, but Mrs. An can't say something more blunt.

Mu Zheng nodded with a very calm expression, "Yes."

Seeing his appearance, Mrs. An didn't know what to say. Her son always had ideas, and as a mother, she could only suggest, not warn.

She sighed softly, and said: "You are not young anymore, as the saying goes, first you get married and then you start a career, and it's time to marry a wife and have children. I don't want to force you, your grandmother is waiting to have a grandson!"

Who doesn't look forward to the four generations living together in the same family, and the old lady is the most important in this family. Only when her old man's wishes come true can the people in the next room be happy.Therefore, Mrs. An was very surprised when she heard that Mu Zheng's Jiuliyuan had a very handsome and outstanding young man. One must know that Mu Zheng has always been indifferent and reserved, and he has never been particularly fond of any man or woman.Therefore, even if he accepted a prostitute, Mrs. An would not stop him, but just reminded him a little bit - fun is fun, and children are the most important thing.

Mu Zheng didn't know what his mother meant, so he still nodded, "Son understands."

He thought Mrs. An would be surprised if she knew that Qingyou had his flesh and blood in her belly.Of course, this secret cannot be revealed for the time being.

Qingyou in the room was bored with waiting, had a full night's sleep, and now he is lying down again, even though he is a snake, it is not yet time for hibernation.

Just about to quietly get out of bed and wander around, Mu Zheng suddenly opened the door and came in.The little monster hurriedly slid onto the bed, and randomly stuffed two clogs under the bed.

The son's eyes are so sharp, he noticed it immediately, he looked at Qingyou deliberately pretending to be asleep, but he didn't expose it, he just put the things in his hand on the table casually.

The aroma from the food box wafted into the bed curtain, the little monster sniffled and writhed restlessly.

He couldn't live without the temptation of delicious food, so he got up from the bed, "Did you bring me something to eat?"

After getting along for a few days, the restlessness in Qingyou's bones gradually revealed, and she was not as reserved as before.

Just about to open the food box to take a look, Mu Zheng swiftly pushed the things aside and said, "You can eat it if you want, but you have to drink this bowl of medicine first."

The other hand held a bowl of soup medicine as if conjuring.

Qingyou looked at the bowl of dark concoction, her little nose wrinkled into a flower, and asked flatteringly, "Can I not drink it?"

I've never heard of a monster that has to rely on soup to cure diseases, so is it worthy of being called a monster?

Mu Zheng said softly, "Yes."

Just when Qingyou was overjoyed, he changed the topic, "It's just that you don't even want to try this kind of thing."

Fingers with well-articulated joints nimbly lifted the lid of the vermilion lacquer box, and it turned out to be a plate of dried fish that was fried until fragrant and crispy. Although it was wrapped in flour bran, the shape was still intact and lifelike.

Qingyou not only loves meat, he is also greedy for fish, seeing this kind of temptation, the corners of his mouth almost dripped, and he quickly wiped it with the back of his hand.

Mu Zheng looked at his fair and clean cheeks, and said persuasively, "Do you still want to drink now?"

There is a price to be paid for everything, Qingyou knew this since he was born.For example, if you want to get close to Mu Zheng, you have to cover up your evil thoughts and pretend to cater to his wishes, so it's okay to make some sacrifices for the food now.

With fearless courage, Qingyou quickly took the medicine cup in Mu Zheng's hand, and poured it down in one go.

It's so bitter, my tongue is almost numb.When he was short of food and clothing, he gnawed a piece of tree bark by mistake, and Qingyou stuck out his tongue desperately, and his brows furrowed tightly.

Mu Zheng also didn't expect that his ability to bear it was so weak, fortunately he was prepared, because he brought out a plate of candied fruit from the food box, twisted one and handed it to the little monster's lips, "Taste this."

Is his box a treasure chest? Why does it have everything?Qingyou suppressed the astonishment in his heart, and tried to use his tongue to roll something from Mu Zheng's fingertips into his mouth, only to feel that his teeth and cheeks were sweet and sour, but it was very delicious, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "What kind of meat is this?"

The wet warmth from the little monster's lick still remained on the fingertips, and Mu Zheng was reluctant to wipe it off, so he just smiled lightly and said, "Who told you that this is meat? This is honey-soaked fruit."

It was probably a sudden outbreak of curiosity, he wanted to see if Qingyou really didn't eat vegetarian food at all, and now it seems that it is not the case!

Qingyou held the cherry in his mouth, although he sucked it with relish, his face was pitiful: he thought he was probably the first snake demon forced to eat the fruit.

This is a matter of dignity and cannot be tolerated.

Quickly swallowing the cherry, Qingyou said angrily, "I won't eat it."

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Mu Zheng conveniently stuffed another one into his mouth.

This one is bigger and sweeter, Qingyou wanted to reject it at first, but in the end he let it in and obediently accepted it.

Really fragrant.
