Chapter 56 Come to my arms

Duke Anguo's Mansion

Lu Zhanxing and Mu Qingli sat in the yard drinking tea.

"The fourth prince has been released from confinement." Although Mu Qingli's expression was calm, there was still a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Lu Zhanxing slowly took a sip of tea, leaned back in the rocking chair, and swayed lazily: "It's as expected."

How could the Fourth Prince just sit there and wait for death? Naturally, he would find ways to lift the ban.

"By the way, what kind of person is Tan Ling?" She really had no impression of this person.

"He is just a sinister and despicable villain!" Mu Qingli looked down on him completely: "I have investigated his past..."

Why did Tan Ling, who passed the imperial examination, end up in such a miserable state? It was because he had lived under the care of others and with his aunt. He tried to please his aunt and get them to give him money to take the imperial examination.

But after he passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, he became a little arrogant. Later, his uncle and aunt moved away. He was already a scholar and was able to support himself, and they didn't want their children to be looked down upon and suppressed by him.

Because he was a scholar, a local gentry funded him to continue taking the imperial examination, but the condition was that he become his son-in-law.

He agreed. After he passed the imperial examination, he began to dislike the country squire's daughter and wanted to marry the daughter of a high-ranking official. The country squire still had some connections, so he kicked him out and took away all his financial support.

Tan Ling was a poor scholar. He went to sue the officials, but the local gentry had money and could only bribe them, leaving him with nowhere to turn.

He originally wanted to wait for Tan Ling to realize his mistake and come back to beg him, but he had fled to the capital to find his uncle and aunt. However, his relatives had already moved out of the capital, and he happened to come across a literary gathering and became famous overnight.

Mu Qingli also told him about how he had been trying to alienate her and the Fourth Prince.

After hearing Mu Qingli's explanation, Lu Zhanxing just felt that this person was so annoying, how dare the Fourth Prince recruit him?

It's far worse than Xiao Lan Jue.

But you must guard against this kind of person, after all, he is a villain.

Lu Zhanxing sneered: "Isn't he so arrogant because of the Fourth Prince? When my eldest brother comes back, I will let him experience the feeling of falling into the dust again."

Seeing that Lu Zhanxing was so confident in her elder brother, Mu Qingli had begun to be curious about Lu Zhanyan.

He had always heard of Lu Zhanyan's talent and only had a quick glance at him when he was in Qingyao Painting Boat. This time he had the opportunity to get to know him. He wondered if Lu Zhanyan would trust him as much as Lu Zhanxing did?

"Why do you trust me so much?" he finally asked.

Lu Zhanxing smiled and said, "I have always admired talented people, like Xiao Lanjue. I also recommended him to my eldest brother, and he was very satisfied. I believe that he must be very satisfied with you as well."

"Thank you for your good words, Second Young Master!" Mu Qingli felt very comfortable chatting with Lu Zhanxing, and he liked this feeling very much.

"Why does the Fourth Prince hate your brother so much?"

"Hey, it's because my eldest brother has occupied his woman for many years. When Su Xianxin was young, she went to the palace for a banquet. At that time, the fourth prince was not favored and was bullied by the palace maids and eunuchs.

Later, the innocent and kind-hearted Su Xianxin found out and not only helped him beat the bad guys, but also gave him delicious food. After that, the Fourth Prince started to keep an eye on her!"

"When you grow up and find out that my eldest brother has become Su Xianxin's fiancé, it will definitely be a big deal. Su Xianxin is the fourth prince's white moonlight, the only person who treats her well. Doesn't this create hatred? You don't know how petty the fourth prince is. Especially for those who grew up without favor, their hearts are very dark. You are so lucky to be able to escape from his clutches."

Lu Zhanxing is discrediting the Fourth Prince all the time.

But what she said was true. In the book, the Fourth Prince did receive favor from Su Xianxin when he was a child, and he also liked such an innocent girl.

After rebirth, of course I have to find a way to get her back!

As for his hatred for Lu Zhanyan, it was because the Fourth Prince was killed by his elder brother in his previous life!

Although Mu Qingli felt that Lu Zhanxing's words were a bit exaggerated, she could not deny that the Fourth Prince was indeed a narrow-minded person.

"No matter what, I have helped the Fourth Prince deal with the Duke of Anguo's Mansion many times before, and I feel guilty about it." He stood up and bowed to her solemnly.

Lu Zhanxing rocked the rocking chair carelessly, playing with a paper fan in his hand: "We all serve our own masters, there is nothing to be ashamed of, and you were forced to join our Anguo Mansion, so there is no need to blame yourself too much, just assist my brother in the future."

Although they were just a few gentle words, Mu Qingli was still very moved. This was the difference between treating his lord well and treating his master well. Although he had never known Lu Zhanyan, he could feel from Lu Zhanxing's words and deeds that Lu Zhanyan would not be much different, otherwise Lu Zhanxing would not have been able to assist his brother in this way.

Lu Zhanxing looked at Mu Qingli's handsome and elegant appearance and felt a little regretful. If only he was not so smart, he could hold him in his arms and love him well. Alas, it is better not to harm such a talented person.

"Mr. Mu, if you feel tired being with my brother, just tell me and I will definitely arrange an easy job for you." It would be best to come into her arms.

Hearing this, facing Lu Zhanxing's sincere gaze,

Mu Qingli was stunned. Are you tired after all these years?

It must be tiring, but he had to do it for the sake of his people.

Now that someone cares about her so much, Mu Qingli felt a warm feeling in her heart.

He secretly made a decision in his heart that as long as the Anguo Mansion did not let him down, he would do his best to help the Anguo Mansion.

He will also regard Lu Zhanxing as his first master.

Looking at Mu Qingli's moved eyes, he knew that Mu Qingli had misunderstood what he meant.

Lu Zhanxing quickly opened his folding fan to cover his face, fearing that Mu Qingli would notice anything.

Fortunately, Mu Qingli didn't know that I wanted to take him as my lover, otherwise, wouldn't that make him unhappy?

"Ah Xing, Ah Xing..."

Suddenly a familiar voice came.

Lu Zhanxing sat up suddenly, and then saw a beautiful and heroic woman in red rushing towards him.

"Eldest sister?"

The red-dressed woman only had eyes for Lu Zhanxing. She domineeringly pulled Lu Zhanxing off the rocking chair, then forcibly held his head and hugged her in her arms: "Ah Xing, I haven't seen you for many years, and you haven't changed at all. You are still so handsome and lazy."

Lu Zhanxing was almost suffocated to death by his eldest sister's breasts.

Fortunately, she is a woman, otherwise, with such a hot body, she would really take action.

"Sister, let go!" her muffled voice came.

Lu Xihua let go awkwardly, and Lu Zhanxing quickly looked at his elder sister. Standing in front of him was a noble woman in a red tights. She had delicate features, and her eyebrows were not as beautiful as those of a woman, but revealed a heroic spirit. Her long hair was tied up high, and her figure was tall and straight. She was really beautiful and heroic.

This is her eldest sister, who has been practicing martial arts with her uncle since she was a child and has excellent martial arts skills.

The eldest sister is more than eight years older than her brother. She is now over 28 years old, but still incredibly beautiful. She has loved playing with guns and sticks since she was a child, and she likes to stick to her uncle the most.

The age gap between them was quite large. After all, the Anguo Mansion had a rule that people could only take concubines when they were 40 years old. Her father could only have one child for her mother. Her mother gave birth to a child every few years. When her father was 39 years old, her mother finally gave birth to this fake son of hers when her father was 40 years old.

It can be said that I was really spoiled by my sisters.

"Sister, I've been married for almost two months, why did you just come back?" Lu Zhanxing couldn't help but complain.

Seeing that her brother was still acting like a spoiled child to her as usual, Lu Xihua smiled and said, "Who sent your brother-in-law to that Yongliang place? Not only is the journey long, but there are mountains everywhere. I had to rush back as fast as I could."

"Where's my delicate brother-in-law?"
