Chapter 1723 Mu Family’s Moves (2)

??Mu Sheng Shuang looked at this innocent looking cousin in front of him and knew that her 'stupidity' has always made it difficult to deal with her.

Anyway, he came unexpectedly and see her, so it was estimated that Mu Fei Jiu would not let him enter her life so easily.

"In that case, I'll thank you first, Sister Fei Jiu."

Mu Fei Jiu showed the same sweet smile on the face, but she was yelling at Mu Sheng Shuang inside her mind. As expected of someone who was part of the officials. It was not so easy to make him show his true thoughts and emotions.

The two of them talked and probed each other, but each time, Mu Fei Jiu was able to block Mu Sheng Shuang from achieving his purpose.

It is impossible to tie General Mu with the current Mu Family in the Capital City.

Soon, Mu Sheng Shuang excused himself and returned to the carriage. His servant bowed when he saw the young master and when Mu Sheng Shuang entered the carriage, the dark guard prepared by his father suddenly asked, "How?"

"Not possible."

There was a killing intent directed in his direction but Mu Sheng Shuang only showed a faint smile without fear. "She's not easy to manipulate. The two sisters are smart, Mr. Guard."

The dark guard didn't say anything else and it was quiet in the carriage as if Mu Sheng Shuang was speaking for himself.

Mu Sheng Shuang looked at the front. "Go to Nan Family Residence."

Klip! Klop!

The horse started to move the carriage slowly but surely, away from Mu Family Residence.

…

Mu Fei Jiu listened to her maidservant reported that the carriage went away and snorted lightly.

"There's no need to care about him. He's a smart person and will not come here again easily."

Thinking about General Mu, Mu Fei Jiu felt a bit of headache. She knew very well that if they truly wanted to get involved, it would be impossible to completely deny them. Even if she continued to treat them as guests, the thick skinned General Mu might still come.

In that situation, it would be hard to say whether it would be possible for her to continue staying away from these opportunists.

And trying to maintain her own reputation while keeping these people away would not be easy.

It was also at this time she recalled the Third Mu Family.

They were alive because she couldn't find a way to kill them off. But their lives were extremely miserable because they couldn't earn enough for their living. Their businesses were completely destroyed and so far, they were living on the street.

Mu Fei Jiu was paying attention to them.

General Mu might even make use of them in order to get close to her.

"After the upheaval in the Mu Family, they're trying hard to build their reputation back." Mu Fei Jiu's lips curled up to form a mocking smile before returned to the same sweet smile as she walked to the backyard.

Those who saw how fast she turned her fast would be stunned.

But those who knew her real personality would not say anything. Even if Mu Fei Jiu said that she was acting, she truly had these two characteristic within her body. The two contrasting personality seemed to be blended perfectly by Mu Fei Jiu.

Mu Fei Jiu knew that General Mu was ambitious.

But the hit after General Cao's betrayal was also affecting the Mu Family. They were trying to figure out a way to whitewash and at the same time, build their own reputation back one way or another.

It would not be easy.

And she was picked as the tool for their own goals.

How annoying.

"Jiu'er, how's your cousin?" Mu Fei Jiu's father asked. Due to his weaker health, he usually stayed indoors and only occasionally come out to sunbath. He didn't dare to do anything too strenuous that would put his life in danger.

"Cousin said that he wants to attend my wedding later, Father." Mu Fei Jiu smiled sweetly. "I would need to trouble Father to add more food for the celebration~."

"That's something that the groom side had to care about." Mu Fei Jiu's father, Fourth Master Mu, looked at his daughter helplessly. "I'll relay the news to them."

"Okay."

Fourth Master Mu thought about his eldest brother, who was very powerful and domineering. He couldn't get along well with his siblings no matter how much time had passed.

"This… did he make things difficult for you, Jiu'er?"

"Of course not, Father. Why do you think so?" Mu Fei Jiu looked at her father, still showing the same innocent look as ever.

In front of her father, she would always be his sweet little girl, the sweet little padded jacket who looked innocent. Even if it was not the truth within, she would never tell him the truth.

She didn't want to make her father worried.

Because the world is truly not as simple as it was on the surface.

It was just that out of consideration of her father's body, Mu Fei Jiu would never tell him any of these. It would be better for him to stay in the dark and be protected until the rest of his life.

"Don't worry about it, Father. I'm not stupid." Mu Fei Jiu pouted and clung to her father, holding his arms. "My cousin will not be able to take advantage of me!"

"You little girl." Fourth Master Mu looked at his daughter helplessly and patted her head tenderly. "I know, I know, you just need to be careful in front of them, okay?"

Mu Fei Jiu smiled. "Yes, Father~."

Even if her father didn't know the details, it was good that he knew that his eldest brother is such an ambitious person. That way, he would not be easily swayed by their words.

For Mu Fei Jiu, it was enough this way.

The rest can be handled by her.
