2524 Who Is Your Eldest Brother
The three of them were having their own conversation and were ignoring everyone around them. This made the Imperial Household Department’s Eunuch Li almost faint from anger.
His heart was stiill trembling at this point, and he couldn’t steady his breathing.
The crown prince consort had actually ordered to kill his adopted son without regard for his pride.
After doing the deed she didn’t even spare him a glance and continued on as usual.
Li Hong’s entire body was trembling from rage.
!!He felt his sight go dark when he looked down and saw Xiao’Li’zi lying in a pool of blood.
This was, this was… AH!
***
The Mu Estate.
Tinglan Courtyard.
“Eldest Young Master, Eldest Young Master. You cannot just barge in like this, Eldest Young Master.”
“Scram aside!” Mu Xingchen kicked the maidservant blocking him out of the way. The latter staggered sideways and crashed her head into the courtyard door.
He walked inside with large strides.
Mu Jingrui followed closely and placated, “Xingchen, we still do not know the actual situation. Don’t get angry just yet and see what…”
“Hey, who are you people? How can you barge into the young lady’s courtyard?” After having an unusually good meal, Madam née Li came back and saw two tall men barge into Tinglan Courtyard. She quickly arched her eyebrows and started criticizing them with chiding eyes.
Mu Xingchen pulled his lips into a tight line. He flicked his sleeve and swept Madam née Li to the side. He walked quickly toward the room in the center with a darkened expression and kicked it open.
*Bang!*
Qiao Yingchun, who had been groaning in bed, jolted in shock. She hastily probed her head out from the bed canopy.
She saw a tall man silhouetted against the light over to her bed.
When Qiao Yingchun could finally make out this young man’s features, her eyes couldn’t resist lighting up. Her gaze was come over with infatuation.
Who was this handsome man in front of her?
This was one of the young sirs from the Mu Clan right!?
Qiao Yingchun’s bad habit struck again. She couldn’t tear her eyes away from Mu Xingchen.
Mu Xingchen’s handsome face darkened even further when he saw her.
He quickly walked over and roughly pulled her down from the bed.
Mu Jingrui hastily called out behind him, “Xingchen, Xingchen!”
“Who are you!? How dare you impersonate my younger sister?” Mu Xingchen cut to the chase and promptly gave Qiao Yingchun two slaps to the face.
Qiao Yingchun was rather pitiful. Her swollen face had not completely healed yet. Now that she was suffering new injuries on top of old ones, she started screaming from intense pain.
Moreover, she felt that this scene right now seemed especially familiar.
There has also once been a very handsome man who barged into her courtyard. After seeing her, he beat her up violently without explanation. Her injuries from then had still not completely recovered.
Concubine s.h.i.+ had sent someone to check on her multiple times already. Every time she thought of Concubine s.h.i.+ saying how she missed out on this banquet and on that gathering, missed out on this family’s das.h.i.+ng young sir and on that family’s valiant young general, her heart felt like bleeding.
How many opportunities had she missed out on to show her face and curry favor with influential people?
“Eldest, Eldest Brother?” The gears in Qiao Yingchun’s brain turned particularly quickly. From Mu Xingchen’s form of address, she immediately understood that this person in front of her should be Qiao Mu’s long-lost eldest brother.
She hastily blurted out, “Eldest Brother, don-don’t hit me, Eldest Brother!”
“Who is your eldest brother!?” Mu Xingchen threw her to the ground and summoned a spiritual thunder talisman to strike her.
Mu Jingrui: …
“Wait! Wait, Xingchen!”
