“Don't worry, I will definitely make sure I remain a useful pawn and live well to show Master Mu.”
Seeing that she was completely unyielding, Mu Yuanlin narrowed his old eyes, his gaze falling upon the three adorable children.
He hadn't noticed before, but upon closer inspection now, a look of shock crossed his face.
The faces of these three children clearly resembled Prince Qin, Jun Moyan, by six or seven parts!
“They, are they yours and Prince Qin’s… No, impossible. You clearly drank the abortion pill back then, Shi An watched you miscarry with his own eyes… So, you were pretending to be crazy all those years? You didn't drink that bowl of abortion medicine?”
Mentioning this, the smile on Mu Ning’s face faded considerably.
She did drink the medicine, and she did miscarry. If it weren't for that bowl of abortion medicine, she would currently have four children surrounding her.
Mu Xi was jealous of the Original Host's beauty and bribed Xiao Hong to continuously add appetite-enhancing medicine to the Original Host's food, causing her to become obese. It was precisely because of the Original Host's obesity that her pregnancy was well concealed, allowing the three remaining fetuses in her belly to be preserved.
“Yes, Mu Shi'an is truly my own Eldest Brother. He personally brought the medicine and forced me to drink it, and he witnessed my miscarriage. I wished for death more than life. Master Mu probably won't ever know how painful it is to miscarry; it’s like someone is constantly churning a knife inside your abdomen. I truly hope that in this lifetime, Master Mu can taste it too.”
Mu Yuanlin angrily pointed at her, “So, this is why you instigated your son to injure Shi An? Are you seeking revenge?”
Mu Ning dotingly stroked Eldest Child Mu Yanli’s head, “Da Fu is not skilled, but I did learn martial arts from Jianghu people for two years. I also didn't expect Mu Shi'an, this Martial Champion, to be so useless that he couldn't even withstand one move from Da Fu.”
“To be honest, merely breaking two ribs is far from the revenge for having a child killed.”
Mu Yuanlin’s eyes were ready to split, and the muscles in his face twitched from extreme anger, making him look terrifying.
“If Shi An suffers any mishap, I will make you pay with your life!”
After speaking, he coldly snorted, “Do you think you can rest easy just because you bore Prince Qin’s offspring? Prince Qin is afflicted with a Strange Poison, incurable. It’s hard to say if he can even live past this year. He can barely protect himself, so how can he have the energy to care for you and your children?”
Cheap old father is going to die?
The three adorable children exchanged glances, their little faces filled with shock, confusion, and bewilderment, but absolutely no fear.
Because they had a Divine Doctor Mother who could determine life and death at a glance. With Mother taking action, cheap old father would surely be saved.
As the three adorable children were calculating their thoughts, they heard their Mother’s light laughter drift down from above, “It’s even better if he dies. My son can directly inherit the Prince's Mansion, and I can become the mother of the little Prince Qin.”
Mu Yuanlin was uncharacteristically choked speechless by Mu Ning’s thick skin.
Prince Qin, Jun Moyan, had been poisoned for many years, and his body was long ruined; he could no longer produce offspring.
Once Jun Moyan met with misfortune, one of Mu Yanli or Mu Yanxi would surely be established as the Crown Prince of Prince Qin's Mansion.
“Hahahaha! There’s no fault in what you said!”
Facing Jiang Mubai, who had returned looking ostentatious and flamboyant, Mu Yuanlin’s expression darkened slightly, but Mu Ning subconsciously looked toward the Black-clothed men behind Jiang Mubai.
His face was very ordinary, and he moved without a sound, easily overlooked in a crowd, but Mu Ning immediately recognized that the man was definitely a master, his martial arts superior to the Eldest Child’s.
While Mu Ning was sizing up Leng Jian, Leng Jian was scrutinizing the three adorable children without blinking.
At first glance, he knew that Young Master Jiang was right; these three children belonged to the Master.
Their eyebrows and eyes were exactly the same as their Master’s.
“Leng Jian greets Miss Mu.”
In the past, Leng Jian wouldn't have given Mu Ning a second glance, wishing Mu Ning would stay as far away from his Master as possible.
But now, he wished he could bundle Mu Ning and the three adorable children together and carry them back to the Prince's Mansion.
Meeting the curious gazes of the three adorable children, Leng Jian tried hard to smile in greeting.
“Mother, you scared me to death!”
As soon as he managed to pull up the corners of his mouth, Mu Yanxi, who was closest to him, turned and hugged Mu Ning’s leg.
Mu Yanli and Mu Yanxi, though not as dramatic, also had expressions that were hard to describe.
Was his smile really that unpleasant?
Jiang Mubai laughed heartily, “Alright, Leng Jian, you look better with a straight face. When you smile, you look like Yama coming to claim a life.”
Leng Jian lowered his head in annoyance.
He just wanted to leave a good impression on the three Little Masters; it was too difficult.
“Oh my, the sun is so hot. Let’s not stand outside. Let’s find a cool place to talk properly.”
Mu Yanxi tilted his little head up, “Eldest Brother, are you treating us? We haven’t had lunch yet.”
Jiang Mubai pinched Mu Yanxi’s tender, egg-white-like cheek, “Eating is easy. You can pick any restaurant in Fengjing City.”
“I want the Drunken Duck from Fuman Tower, Cherry Meat from Guangju Xuan, Stir-fried Phoenix Tongue from Manyue Tower, and Auspicious and Prosperous Boy Chicken. Hmm, that’s all for now.”
Jiang Mubai chuckled, “You have quite a discerning palate. Alright, let’s go.”
Seeing Second Child getting along so well with Jiang Mubai, Mu Ning didn't stop them. After dealing with the Mu Family for most of the day, she and the children were indeed hungry.
As soon as the group left, Madam Mu came to Mu Yuanlin’s side.
“Master, Ning'er has only just returned and Shi An and Xi'er have already suffered such a loss. It seems she is determined to oppose our Mu Family. We must prepare early on how to deal with her going forward.”
“Hmph, I won’t let the matter of Shi An and Xi'er go just like that. Let her be smug for a couple of days.”
A calculating glint flashed in Madam Mu’s eyes, “Master, I do have an idea…”
Jiang Mubai led Mu Ning and the four to the nearby Manyue Tower. When the dishes were almost all served, the vanished Leng Jian returned, carrying several food boxes, all containing the dishes Mu Yanxi had specifically requested earlier.
“Wow, thank you, Brother Leng Jian!”
Mu Yanxi’s sweet words and smile made the usually ruthless and cold-hearted Leng Jian feel flustered for the first time.
“N-No need to thank me.”
Having been hungry since morning, the three adorable children were famished. Faced with a table full of delicious dishes that looked and smelled wonderful, even the most aloof Mu Yanxi couldn't help but pick up his chopsticks and eat heartily, his cheeks puffed out roundly.
Seeing the three Little Masters eating so well, a gentle expression appeared on Leng Jian’s brick-like face.
“Miss Mu…”
Mu Ning looked over, “Is something wrong?”
“May I hire a painter to draw portraits of the three Little Masters?”
“What if I say no?”
Leng Jian quickly said, “Miss Mu, I mean no harm. I just want to draw portraits of the Little Masters to take back to the Master.”
Mu Ning’s Peach blossom eyes held a half-smile, “If he wants to see the children, he can come himself.”
Leng Jian’s expression shook, then joy appeared, “Miss Mu, are they truly the Master’s children?”
Mu Ning picked up Eldest Child Mu Yanli’s face to look, frowning strangely, “Don’t they look alike?”
“No, they do! They look exactly alike! The three Little Masters look exactly like the Master!”
“Miss Mu may not know, but my Master has an ailment, and traveling is not very convenient…”
“His leg is broken, doesn’t he have a Wheelchair? At worst, he can be carried out in an eight-bearer sedan chair. Prince Qin's Mansion is large and wealthy; surely they aren't short of a few sedan bearers, right?”
Leng Jian was about to say more when Jiang Mubai tapped his chopsticks with a 'ding'. “Alright, Jian Jian, stop rambling here. Go back to the mansion and bring that grumpy one over.”
