C456 The Mu Family Confronted Each Other(2)

"You spoiled your wife and let her bully your own daughter. Now that you've allowed her to cause trouble in the estate, it's simply unreasonable! "

Mu Xiong's heart was filled with anger after being berated in such a manner. After all, what happened today was clearly the fault of this legitimate daughter. Her father didn't punish her, but instead scolded them.

No matter how biased he was, he was still his son!

He immediately retorted: "Father, you've always disliked me, that's why you chose her as your heir, making me suffer from other people's ridicule.

Now, she has made a mistake, putting the entire Mu family in danger. Father, you didn't blame her. Instead, you scolded me. Ziqi and I have always been loyal to this family. Is this also a mistake?"

Mu Zhentian looked at his angry face and said in a deep voice," Alright, I will give you the so-called fairness. I will wait and see what you can do! "

This son was simply stupid!

Mu Zhentian was so angry that he didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Looking at his granddaughter standing there, Mu Zhentian's eyes showed a trace of relief. He said gently, "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that this matter is too big. You have to be careful!"

Mu Lingfeng heard him and looked at Mu Zhentian with a strange look in her eyes. Then, she lowered her head and said meekly, "Grandpa, Lingfeng understands!"

It seemed that her grandpa already knew some things!

After a while, the person Mu Ziqi sent out returned.

Mu Ziqi and Mu Xiong asked excitedly, "How is it? Did you find Lyi Beichen?"

"Master, there is nothing in the dungeon in the other courtyard!"

Mu Ziqi's face turned pale when she heard the guard's words. Her eyes were filled with disbelief as she scolded sternly," How is it possible that there is nothing? Did you carefully search?"

The expression of the guard became a little hesitant when he heard this. He said with a solemn expression, "Replying to the Young Miss, the subordinates have already searched the courtyard from inside to outside. They did not find any traces of anyone."

Mu Ziqi did not believe this kind of result. The people she sent earlier clearly saw the person in the dungeon and even heard Mu Lingfeng call him Lyi Beichen.

How did things become like this now?

Her vicious eyes looked at Mu Lingfeng and asked sternly, "Tell me, where did you hide him? How could there not be one? You... "

Before she could finish, Mu Zhentian said angrily," Are you done messing around? What you have done today has brought shame to our Mu family. From today onwards, don't leave your courtyard. You should reflect on your actions in your courtyard!"

After saying that, he got up and prepared to leave. When he passed by Mu Xiong, Mu Zhentian's eyes flashed with a trace of disappointment.

"You should have a long mind. Otherwise, this Mu family will be destroyed by your hands sooner or later!"

Mu Lingfeng's eyes carried a mocking look as she watched everything that happened in the room. After Mu Zhentian left, she also turned around and left.

Unexpectedly, Mu Ziqi rushed over and looked at Mu Lingfeng with scarlet eyes.

"Don't be complacent too early. I will definitely catch your fox tail and make you die an ugly death!"

Mu Lingfeng did not care about her glance. She did not stop her footsteps and directly left.

Sometimes, when it came to mad dogs, just ignore them!

Looking at her like looking at an ant, it completely made Mu Ziqi's jealousy explode in her heart.

She tightly gritted her teeth, her eyes almost dripping blood red as she stared at Mu Lingfeng's back.

Mu Lingfeng had just walked out of the courtyard when Chang casually walked up beside her grandfather and respectfully said, "Miss, the Patriarch wants you to see him!"

There was not the slightest bit of surprise on her face, she had already guessed this kind of situation a long time ago.

In Mu Zhentian's study, after Mu Lingfeng went in, she saw Mu Zhentian looking at the map of Shenghe Mainland in front of him. His body was emitting a kind of silent aura.

Before she could say anything, she heard Mu Zhentian's deep voice in the room.

"Golden Axe Metal Horse, smoke filled the air. The Shenghe Mainland will be unified one day. I also know that I am a minister of the Holy Snow Country. The matter that I promised the Lan family that day is already disloyal to me. Now, General Lyi is still alive. This can be considered as making up for my regret."

When Mu Lingfeng heard these words, she knew that her grandfather had already known about the matter that she was hiding.

A trace of guilt appeared in her eyes and her heart was filled with mixed feelings.

After all, this was a bet with the future of Lan family!

She bent her legs and knelt on the ground. With a hoarse voice, she said, "Grandfather, my granddaughter is unfilial. I have let you down!"

Mu Zhentian walked in front of her. His eyes were peaceful. He bent down and helped her up.

"Lingfeng, the honor of Mu family should not have been earned by colluding with the enemy and betraying the country. You didn't do anything wrong. Grandfather won't blame you. "

"Grandpa, I... I saved him... because..." Mu Lingfeng revealed a troubled expression.

Mu Zhentian had lived for decades. Seeing his granddaughter's expression, he naturally knew what she was thinking.

His gaze focused slightly as he stared at her. "Lingfeng, you only saved him because you fell in love with that General Lyi?"

Mu Lingfeng lowered her head and did not speak, but silently admitted it.

For a moment, a solemn aura spread out in the room.

After a long time, Mu Zhentian sighed heavily and said, "Lingfeng, you have grown up. There are some things that you can see more clearly than your grandfather. But don't forget that you are the heir of the Mu family, and you bear the heavy responsibility of the Mu family.

The relationship between children is not worth mentioning in the face of the righteousness of the family. If you are the daughter of an ordinary family, your grandfather will naturally be happy for you. However, you were born in such a family. Your life was destined from the moment you were born!"

Although these words were ruthless, they were also the most sincere of exhortations.

When Mu Lingfeng heard this, her eyes were filled with sourness. The stifled pain in her heart assaulted her, as if a lump of cotton had been stuffed inside. It was stuffy and uncomfortable.

Closing her eyes tightly, she covered the sadness flowing in the depths of her eyes and said with a hoarse voice, "Grandfather, granddaughter understands!"

She understood the responsibility on her body and also understood that from the moment she got close to Lyi Beichen, there was no longer any possibility between the two of them.

"It's good that you understand. Then where is General Lyi now?"

"Previously, I found a group of people secretly searching for his whereabouts, and they have already found out about our whereabouts. So, I secretly moved him to another place."

"Do you know where this group of people came from?" Mu Zhentian asked with a solemn expression.

Mu Lingfeng also shook her head in doubt, "I don't know, but I am sure that it is not from the Lan family, nor is it from His Majesty!"

"Not from the Lan family, and not His Majesty? Then who in this world would care so much about General Lyi's life and death?"

"Grandpa, do you know why the Lan family wants us to eliminate Lyi Beichen?"

"I don't know about that. There was only the secret order back then, but we didn't tell them the exact reason." However, this question reminded Mu Zhentian.

"Could it be that this force is related to the Lan family that wanted to eliminate General Lyi?"
