"Crazy, crazy, the former eldest and second brothers, now fathers, were actually driven crazy by the three men from our Mu family, thanks to the small Bright Moon Villa."
Mu Yunfan, who had remained silent, shook his head. He couldn't understand what was so good about the people in Bright Moon Villa. Deep down, he felt jealous that a five-year-old child had higher cultivation than him, which only made him believe that Bright Moon Villa wasn't as great as it seemed.
Jun Zixi narrowed her eyes, realizing that she would have to visit Bright Moon Villa herself.
"Han'er, Xuan'er, why are you walking so fast? Wait for Daddy," Mu Yufeng said angrily as he hurriedly caught up with his two sons.
"Are you two going to Bright Moon Villa? If so, take Daddy with you. By the way," Mu Yufeng said, making Mu Yunhan secretly cry in his heart. He hadn't had a chance to explain to his eldest brother yet. This was becoming quite a predicament for him.
"Daddy, this is just my luck," Mu Yunhan thought to himself. Mu Yunxuan looked at him coldly and said, "You figure it out yourself. You know what happened." With that, Mu Yunxuan turned and left without looking back.
Mu Yunhan looked bitter and pleaded, "Xuan'er, take Daddy with you."
"Daddy..." Mu Yunhan shouted.
"You're acting out because you're itching for trouble. What's with the loudness? Your dad isn't old enough for that," Mu Yufeng scolded.
"Dad, didn't you promise not to tell anyone? And now you're selling your son out the next day? Eldest Brother's expression tells me how angry he is," Mu Yunhan lamented. He regretted telling his father about his visit to the top cliff last night.
"What is he angry about? Your father is still angry? He is part of the Mu family bloodline. Since you know about it, you should resolve it instead of doing nothing. Su Zimo is also your eldest brother's wife. Take some responsibility," Mu Yufeng said, leaving Mu Yunhan nearly speechless. He had shared so much with his father last night, but it seemed that his father had already forgotten everything. It was clear that his father's memory wasn't what it used to be.
"Dad, if it were that simple, would Eldest Brother keep it from you? Didn't I tell you everything last night? Sister-in-law holds a grudge against the underworld marriage matter and hasn't forgiven Eldest Brother yet," Mu Yunhan explained, feeling on the verge of tears. He was now caught in a difficult situation, feeling like a small man on a big horse.
"Sigh! In any case, you must resolve it as soon as possible," Mu Yufeng insisted, worried about his grandson, especially after witnessing Li'er's performance the other day. He hadn't slept well the previous night, as thoughts of seeing his beloved grandson consumed him.
"Dad, it will happen sooner or later. Isn't Big Brother working on a solution? Don't worry, it won't be long before Sister-in-law and Li'er return to Cloud City. For now, Daddy should take care and not do anything. That's the best help you can provide to Eldest Brother, you know?" Mu Yunhan said, feeling bitter and cold after a sleepless night. It seemed that his old father hadn't listened to a single word, only thinking about his grandson.
"Fine, fine. You go and help your eldest brother. He's so dense, he doesn't know how to make a woman happy!" Mu Yufeng said, and Mu Yunhan was taken aback. Was his eldest brother really that dense? Hadn't he seen the person who called the lady last time, putting on a sycophantic smile on his face?
"Daddy, I'll go now," Mu Yunhan said, taking a few steps before remembering something. "Dad, Que Er goes to the shops under the name of Mingyue Villa every afternoon for inspections. If you really want to see him, you should go and wait for the right moment!"
"Wait for the right moment?" Mu Yufeng frowned. Was it really so difficult to see his grandson? But it was better than not seeing him at all. Mu Yufeng considered it and decided to give it a try.
As they all left, Ling Qiushui emerged from the corner. Today, she was dressed in a purple outfit, adorned with a large peony design outlined in gold thread. The combination of purple and gold created a hazy beauty, enhancing her delicate and stunning appearance, making her even more captivating than usual.
His once gentle face now bore a vicious expression, and sparks seemed to ignite under his intense gaze.
It turned out that Su Zimo was not the only one who belonged to Mu Yunxuan; those three children were also his.
Ling Qiushui had been planning for years, and she couldn't let someone like Su Zimo, who had suddenly appeared, ruin her plans.
The difficulty she had faced to reach this point was known only to her.
Her weak and delicate jade hand extended gently, and the insects, which had always been white, emitted a chilling aura. Wherever they crawled, even the snow-white jade hand was covered in a thin layer of frost.
If anyone were to witness this scene, they would be terrified and overwhelmed.
"Miss Ling."
Suddenly, a maid's voice came from behind.
Ling Qiushui quickly withdrew her hand.
"What's the matter?" Her voice was calm, devoid of any discernible emotion.
"Miss Ling, Madame is requesting your presence. She said there is a place she wants to go and wants you to accompany her."
Ling Qiushui blinked her eyes slightly, turned around once again, and resumed her usual gentle and graceful demeanor. Her posture exuded elegance and composure.
The weather was delightful that day. The sun was shining, the sky was clear, without a hint of clouds. The warm sunlight filled people's hearts with a sense of warmth.
On the streets, the affairs of the Su family and Su Li had become the talk of the town, providing entertainment gossip for the people to discuss after their meals. One could hear the discussions everywhere in the streets and alleys.
Inside Mingyue Villa, Su Que and Su Qi had already finished eating and were loitering around.
"Brother, Qi Er dreamt of the three kings crying and calling for their mothers last night, but even that couldn't satisfy his desire for revenge. He was so furious that he even wished to die for them," Su Que said with a fox-like smile, looking adorable and mischievous.
Su Li pursed his lips and smiled, visibly feeling better.
"Stop bringing up that matter. Mother will be upset if she hears about it. Last night's incident was like killing two birds with one stone: the Su family was imprisoned, and Jun Lin Tian showed his true evil nature. The fact that our mother and uncle, as well as Aunt, didn't show any concern indicates that Mother doesn't care about the Su family at all. But we still can't let Mother find out; otherwise, we'll be grounded," Su Li reminded Su Qi, his younger brother, who not only enjoyed playing pranks but also tended to reveal his true form after doing so because he was too straightforward.
"Don't worry, Brother. Mother won't find out," Su Qi replied, his face flashing with a mischievous look.
"Revenge?" A playful voice interjected.
Su Li and Su Qi quickly turned around.
"Daddy, why are you here?" Su Qi happily ran towards Mu Yunxuan, his little face rosy, but the mischievous gleam in his eyes remained.
"And Daddy, do you want revenge? What does it mean?" Su Qi's smile seemed slightly forced, as if he suspected that Daddy knew something.
The moment Su Li met Mu Yunxuan's gaze, he knew that his father was aware of everything.
"You two only care about fooling around, didn't you notice that you were being followed? But Daddy has already figured it out for you," Mu Yunxuan said, pinching Su Qi's adorable little nose, overflowing with boundless affection.
"So Daddy has witnessed the whole process?"
"Such a marvelous process, how could Dad have missed it?"
Mu Yunxuan's lips curled into a smile, incredibly handsome and gentle.
Su Li couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. Even someone who usually spoke coldly could have such a smile.
"Let's go. Daddy will take you somewhere," Mu Yunxuan said, eager to spend time with Li'er. As for Su Zimo? He had a plan to win her heart, and after a few interactions, he felt like he understood her a bit.
"Where to?" Su Qi instantly became intrigued.
"You'll find out when we get there, Quercus, is that alright?" Mu Yunxuan looked at Su Li with hopeful anticipation.
Seeing that gentle gaze filled with deep longing, Su Li suddenly felt a reluctance to refuse.
"Li'er, there's a misunderstanding between your father and your mother, but it's not an insurmountable one, right? Didn't Li'er say that once your mother forgives your father, Li'er is willing to forgive her father. So, is it okay for you to come with your father to the place where your father and mother will meet?" Mu Yunxuan explained, seeming a bit confused.
As if caught in a daze, Su Li nodded.
"Great!" Mu Yunxuan's excitement was palpable.
Su Qi also looked at his brother with joy, unable to contain his excitement.
"Let's go." Mu Yunxuan swept his gaze gently, and Su Qi and Su Li were already in his arms as he quietly led the two brothers out of Bright Moon Villa.
Meanwhile, Su Zimo had nothing to do that day.
She had tied a homemade hammock to a large tree in the yard.
She lay on it, basking in the warm sun, feeling a bit drowsy.
In the past few days, He Yunting and Liu Shiyu had been busy with the opening, and the paper factory had an older brother to assist them.
She had become idle.
Suddenly, Su Zimo blinked. Since Haoyue Emperor had gone to the Three Kings Mansion, should she seize this opportunity to make progress?
Her eyes widened, and she flew towards the large tree where Xingyue was perched.
She whispered a few words in Xingyue's ear.
Silently, Xingyue left Bright Moon Villa.
Su Zimo returned and was about to lie down and take a nap for a while.
But then she saw Qinglian entering.
"Owner, the lady from Yuncheng and Miss Ling have arrived."
A trace of doubt flickered in Su Zimo's eyes.
"Why are they here?"
"Miss, it seems that the person who came is up to no good."
Qinglian's expression turned gloomy, and from the look on the two women's faces, she could tell that they were looking for trouble.
