Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1599 Mu Family



Chapter 1599 Mu Family

Feng Ao Si looked at Sheng Qi Rou blankly and then his ear reddened slightly. He coughed and stepped forward, hugging Sheng Qi Rou in his arm, snuggling.

Compared to Feng Ao Si, Sheng Qi Rou was definitely much smaller. He could easily envelop her entire body in his embrace. He rubbed his head on her shoulder from the back.

“Ticklish,” Sheng Qi Rou protested weakly.

“Thank you, Qi Rou.” Feng Ao Si smiled. He couldn’t change overnight, but he could start to learn more bit by bit.

Sheng Qi Rou giggled.

“But talking about how your older brother introduces men in front of your husband is a bit too much, isn’t it?”

Sheng Qi Rou froze.

Even if Feng Ao Si was cute, he’s still a man. No man would like his wife to talk about other men that was introduced to them.

Looking at the dangerous look on Feng Ao Si’s face, Sheng Qi Rou opened her mouth, wanting to refute.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Feng Ao Si brought her to the bed and continued their ‘conversation’ there.

From then on, Sheng Qi Rou would never dare to mention about the men her brother introduced to her anymore. The consequences… were terrible.

<Long distance away, Mu Family>

Not long after Feng Ao Si was separated from the large army returning to Fei Yang Kingdom’s Capital City, Mu Sheng Xi also departed. The Mu Family was located in different city, which was deemed as their territory.

Many of his soldiers also followed him because their family members stayed in Mu Family’s territory.

It was time for them to take a break too.

“Second Young Master, you’re back.” The steward cupped his fist to greet Mu Sheng Xi. In the Mu Family, Mu Sheng Xi was the second son because he had a half older brother. His half older brother was concubine born while Mu Sheng Xi was born from the main wife.

In terms of qualification, Mu Sheng Xi is the legal successor while his half older brother’s position was low.

The two’s relationship was a bit bad.

After all, Mu Sheng Xi’s mother hated the fact that the concubines produced a son faster than her. Thus, she oppressed other concubines in the house when General Mu was at the battlefield.

The result was that the children’s relationship with each other was not good.

“I’m back.” Mu Sheng Xi nodded. “Has Father received the letter about General Cao?”

The steward paused for a moment when this matter was mentioned. He took a deep breath and nodded. “Second Young Master, Master had received the letter and vomited blood after he found out about it.”

Mu Sheng Xi frowned. “Take me to him.”

He knew how much his father valued the soldiers under him. If not for that, he would not make the arrangement and picked General Cao, who was most qualified under him to replace him.

Who would have thought that General Cao had such thoughts hidden within?

In the end, General Mu only caused a lot of troubles for the soldiers and the others around him.

It was uncertain how it would affect the Mu Family in the future. But their reputation was not as good as it used to be. All of his sisters and half sisters were already married and if their natal family was not strong, they might be bullied.

The future didn’t look good for them.

“Yes, Second Young Master.”

The steward bowed and brought Mu Sheng Xi to the inner courtyard. In this residence, only General Mu and Mu Sheng Xi lived along with General Mu’s wives and concubines. His half older brother had already married a wife and granted a different residence.

With the relationship between the two brothers, they barely contacted each other much.

At most, they knew that the other party was still alive and that was good enough.

Others?

Don’t bother.

Before long Mu Sheng Xi reached the inner residence. He looked at his father, who looked a bit weak and currently lying on a long chair. General Mu used to be a valiant general, roaming on the battlefield without any fear whatsoever.

When he met any enemies, he would crush them without any hesitation.

But now, he looked like a withered tree.

Mu Sheng Xi felt heartache when he saw his father like this, but he also knew that his father was heavily injured in the battle many years ago. Even after several years of recuperation, he still couldn’t recover.

“Father,” Mu Sheng Xi greeted.

General Mu raised his head and looked at his second son. “The situation is not good. Mu Family is pushed to the forefront again.”

Mu Sheng Xi pursed his lips.

In their current condition, being pushed to the forefront would do them harm than good. They had been staying relatively low key, but they were now being pushed to the front again.

“Are the soldiers treated well?”

“They’re under General Jun now and I have seen being treated well.” Mu Sheng Xi was honest.

General Mu nodded.

He still paid attention to the news outside, but he didn’t have much intention to get involved anymore. The only reason why he paid attention was because there might be some important pieces of news that was related to Mu Family that he couldn’t pass.

General Mu sighed deeply. “I’ve already retired and I’ll not involve myself in the power struggle, but you have to be careful.”

“Will there be anyone who come forward to take advantage of our family?” Mu Sheng Xi asked carefully.

“Even if there is, how do you think it’s possible for us to stop them?” General Mu glanced at Mu Sheng Xi and shook his head. “Focus on improving yourself. Only when you’re strong enough would those people not dare to move.”

Mu Sheng Xi opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

But in the end, he knew that his father was right.

Because there was no one strong enough in Mu Family, they wouldn’t be able to stand tall.
