C47 Mu Xiv

Mu Chen returned very late with Xu Yanlin following behind him. Shen Jingli noticed that he was injured and asked nervously, "What happened? "Did you go and fight someone?"

Xu Yanlin quickly replied: "I was beaten up."

As he said this, he gnashed his teeth in anger and indignation. Shen Jingli could not help but suspect that the person who was actually beaten up was him.

"Who could be so ruthless?" Shen Jingli looked at Mu Shisi's face with a pained expression. This was a face he liked, how did he get beaten up like this?

Mu Chen couldn't see through Shen Jingli's thoughts, he only thought that Shen Jingli was just pining for him and pulled out a small smile, "It's a small matter, don't worry."

"A small matter? If not for the fact that he was worried that King Jing would settle the score with him afterwards, he would have beaten you to death … " Xu Yanlin muttered to himself. He lied to Mu Shisi without batting an eye and was filled with contempt. Mu Chen turned around and glared at him.

"It's really fine?" Shen Jingli didn't really believe it, but seeing that Mu Chen's expression didn't seem to be forcing him, he reluctantly believed it as he pulled him into the house and went to prepare dinner.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yanlin would come over. Shen Jingli only asked Nanny Jin to prepare dinner for three people, then asked him to call Nanny Jin to cook two more dishes, picked a few sweet potatoes, and threw them all into the kitchen. After a while, they would all be able to eat roasted sweet potatoes.

After dinner, the whole family huddled together and chatted. Shen Jingli talked about what happened during the day.

"I'm afraid that you don't have the money to live your life, Thirteenth Brother specially sent two silver taels over. When you return to Mu Family in the future, you must repay him well."

Shen Jingli was playing chess with the thing Shen Jingli had given him. Hearing Shen Jingli's words, he immediately rushed over and threw the two silver taels out, "We don't need something from the Mu Family."

When he thought about the years he spent with his mother, he did not have a good impression of Mu Family. When he heard that they had taken two taels of silver to humiliate them, he could not hold back his anger even further and turned to Shen Jingli, "Sister-in-law, how can you take what Mu Family gave you? They are all heartless things, and those people's things will be ruined if they were taken. "

Shen Jingli did not expect Mu Jin's reaction to be so intense, and for a moment, he did not know what to do.

"Jin'er, how did you talk to your sister-in-law?" Mu Chen knew that Mu Jin was angry in his heart, but this was not Shen Jingli's fault.

Mu Jin also knew that he was being too extreme, and lowered his head, feeling wronged. "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry!"

"It's fine. Sister-in-law knows that you've been wronged before." Shen Jingli was not angry, he knew very well what was making Mu Jin angry, if it was him, he would probably go even further than that.

"He also mentioned the Fourth Miss?" Xu Yanlin suddenly interrupted, his face full of disbelief.

Hearing this name, Mu Chen's expression became somewhat strange. It was hard to say what kind of emotion he was currently in, but he was definitely not happy.

"Yes, he said that the Fourth Young Miss is deeply attached to Fourteenth Master and wishes for him to return to the capital as soon as possible to marry her." Shen Jingli laughed, and looked at Mu Chen ambiguously.

"Puchi …" Xu Yanlin could not help but sneer, that woman was waiting for Zi An to return and marry her? It was simply laughable, the Ceng Family could not wait to send people to cancel the engagement when they heard that something had happened to Zi An.

He had lost the protection of the Old Man Mu and lost his position as an official. Mu Shisi was of no use to him.

"Sister-in-law, don't listen to his nonsense. Ceng Wan'er is a bad woman, once something happens to Big Brother, she will rush over to end the marriage. In a few days, she will be married to Thirteenth Brother." Mu Jin was afraid that Shen Jingli would misunderstand, hence he quickly told everything.

Shen Jingli was dumbstruck. How could a Wealthy Class family do such a thing? Withdrawing his engagement to his younger brother and changing it to his older brother? If it was a small family, everyone's laughter would pass. But if it was a rich family, wouldn't they lose their reputation?
