C420 Family Responsibility(2)

She had hated Mu Lingfeng since she was a child. She was not only as beautiful as a fairy, but also a hundred times prettier than her. She was also very smart since she was a child. Although her father did not like her, the Patriarch still attached great importance to her.

He had nurtured her as the future successor of the patriarch. She clearly had the eldest grandson, but because of her bloodline, she had lost the right to be the successor. How could she not hate such an outcome?

"Third Sister has been elusive ever since she came back. If I didn't know, I would have thought that she was hiding some pretty boy outside!"

When Mu Lingfeng heard this, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed and a cold gaze containing pressure shot straight at Mu Ziqi. The corner of her mouth slightly curled and her face was filled with disdain.

"Elder sister, please be careful with your words. Although you are the elder, there is still a difference in respect and inferiority. I am the young miss of the Mu family's direct line of descent and elder sister is only a concubine's daughter. It's just that I don't care about these things, so I call you elder sister. Do you think that you can surpass the hierarchy because of this? "

The last few words, the low and deep voice revealed a kind of killing intent that made Mu Ziqi's eyes shrink, and a trace of fear flashed across her eyes.

Then, with a ferocious expression, she immediately screamed," You... "

Before she could finish, Mu Lingfeng interrupted her, "Grandfather is looking for me. I will be leaving first!"

After saying that, she walked away.

Only Mu Ziqi was left staring at her back with a livid expression. When she turned her head and saw Mu Zicheng staring at Mu Lingfeng's back with an infatuated expression, her anger was immediately ignited.

"Big Brother, you actually did not help me! Are you also fascinated by that slut? I knew it. That slut was born with a seductive appearance, and she came to seduce people! "

When Mu Zicheng heard his sister's sharp scolding, he came back to his senses and saw her ferocious expression. Her originally ordinary and ordinary face became even uglier.

Disgust flashed across Mu Zicheng's eyes as he said, "If you have the ability, you are also as beautiful as Ling Feng!" He also turned around and left.

When Mu Ziqi heard this, the flames of jealousy burned her rationality, carrying an extremely cold chill within.

"Mu Lingfeng, I will definitely not let you off! Just wait and see."

Mu Lingfeng felt that Lyi Beichen was no longer safe here. Mu Ziqi could discover that she often went out, and others could also notice. Although the Lan family no longer investigated Lyi Beichen's matter, there were still many spies here. Furthermore, there was another force that had already tracked her down. She had no choice but to make preparations.

It seemed like she had to find a way to transfer Lyi Beichen away!

Mu Zhentian was already over seventy years old. His expression was ordinary, but his turbid old eyes were flickering with a bright light. His brows were filled with an ancient expression.

In fact, the looks of the people from the Mu family were ordinary. The looks of Mu Ziqi and her sister were also ordinary when they were with Mu Xiong. It was because of this that Mu Xiong doted on them even more.

Mu Lingfeng's mother was an outstanding beauty, and she was the daughter of a noble family. Back then, the Mu family was powerful and powerful, which was why they were able to form a marriage alliance with the noble family. That was why Mu Xiong was able to marry Mu Lingfeng's mother.

After the marriage, the two of them were very loving. It was a pity that her mother's son was weak, and it was difficult for her to give birth when giving birth to her. After her mother died, Mu Xiong had always been obsessed with beauty. He was not a person who liked relationships, and soon, he had a new love.

If not for the fact that there was still a direct daughter, Mu Xiong would probably have forgotten about this wife!

Thinking of this, a trace of sadness and ridicule flashed across Mu Lingfeng's eyes. But it was only for a moment. She quickly restrained her expression and looked at Mu Zhentian with clear eyes.

"Greeting grandfather. May I know why grandfather summoned Lingfeng to come here?"

When Mu Zhentian heard the voice, he raised his head and looked at his granddaughter in front of him. There was some warmth in his muddy eyes. He had high hopes for this talented and intelligent granddaughter in front of him!

"I called you here because I want to ask what your opinion on the matter that Lan family mentioned earlier is?"

The Lan family had sent someone to deliver a message earlier, asking them to secretly contact the family to help the Zihua Country. Although the two countries had formed an alliance through marriage, the border was different after all.

They relied on the Lan family, but the Mu family was a subject of the Holy Snow Country. They would never forget this.

When Mu Lingfeng heard this, a strange look flashed across her eyes. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Grandfather, Ling Feng feels that this matter cannot be done."

"Oh? Why?" Mu Zhentian did not change his mood. He just raised his eyebrows and asked her why.

" Grandpa, although our Mu family relies on the Lan family, our relationship with the Lan family is only mutual. We just want to work together. But the Mu family is a subject of the Holy Snow Country. If we listen to the Lan family... At that time, the Mu family will be accused of treason and will be scolded by everyone in the world.

Although the Mu family's influence was weak, it was still a family of prestigious people. His grandfather was often called Dao Lingfeng, and he had to prioritize the honor of the Mu family. If he listened to the Lan family this time, it would be the same as burying the reputation of the Mu family with his own body! Grandfather, please think about it."

Mu Zhentian fell into deep thought after hearing Mu Lingfeng's words. In fact, what Ling Feng said was right. Although the Mu family had relied on the Lan family all these years to protect their family's glory, they had also done a lot of things for the Lan family.

This time, they obeyed the order of the Lan family to approach Lyi Beichen and assassinate him. This had crossed his bottom line. Lyi Beichen was the general of the Holy Snow Country, and he was the one who guarded the country. The Mu family had gone against their conscience by doing such a thing.

Now, with such a request, how could the Mu family bear the responsibility of colluding with the enemy and betraying the country?

"Although that's what you said, how can we reply to the people of Lan family?"

The Lan family was not so easy to fool. If they were not careful, they might really bring disaster to the Mu family!

"Grandfather can tell them that the Mu family had approached Lyi Beichen earlier. This had aroused the suspicion of the Saint. If they did this again, the Emperor would definitely pay attention to them. At that time, if he is not careful and the matter is exposed, our Lan family will suffer heavy losses!"

When Mu Zhentian heard this, he laughed out loud and looked at Mu Lingfeng with praise in his eyes.

"Good, it was not in vain that I spent so much effort to nurture you!"

Then, he laughed a few more times.

Mu Lingfeng smiled but did not say anything. She had a humble bearing. When Mu Zhentian saw this, he praised her even more in his heart.

He pushed the teacup on the table to Mu Lingfeng and asked unintentionally, "I heard that you are often not in the residence. Where did you go?"

When Mu Lingfeng heard this, she became more vigilant in her heart. Her expression was normal as she lightly took a sip of tea and casually said, "Nothing much. It is just that the current alliance of the two countries, along with the situation below, have changed quite a bit. So, I'll go and take a look."

Mu Zhentian did not doubt him when he heard that.

"That's true. The current situation is chaotic. Although it was a ceasefire, it was just a facade of peace. The situation of the four countries has already split into two. The remaining flames of war are probably about to burn up. Our Mu family, on the other hand, must be prepared for this!"

After all, there were some things that couldn't be relied on just the Lan family.

Mu Zhentian had lived his entire life. How could he not see the selfish nature of the Lan family? It was just that there were some things that couldn't be done as people wished. For the sake of the Mu family's glory, he had no choice but to ask the tiger for its skin!
