Chapter 59 Half Brother

Mu Nanyue put the matter out of her mind after hearing that. Everyone here was from aristocratic families, so there must be some people who disliked her and were watching her in secret.

"When will you go to the demon tribe?"

Pei Yinghuai held her hand tightly and said in a dull voice: "Tomorrow."

"So soon?" Mu Nanyue stopped and looked at him in surprise, "Why don't you stay at home for two more days? You haven't had a rest this year."

Pei Yinghuai shook his head, feeling powerless all over. "My uncle was assassinated again, and this time his injuries are quite serious."

Mu Nanyue understood.

Pei Yinghuai was asked to rush over because he wanted those with evil intentions to understand that he was the future heir, and no matter how much those behind the scenes fought for it, they could not usurp the throne.

Mu Nanyue sighed softly, and looked at him with a pair of dark eyes, "Be careful, believe in yourself, and don't trust others easily."

"Okay." Pei Yinghuai curled his lips, his tall figure enveloped her, and his tone was particularly serious, "When I come back, we will get married, okay?"

"……Um."

By then, Dad should be awake.

Getting the response he had always dreamed of, Pei Yinghuai's calm heart seemed to be stirred up as if a stone was thrown into it, and his eyes lit up slightly.

It was like getting a promise from her.

Two hours later.

Outside the Mu family's door, the young couple reluctantly separated. Mu Nanyue took off the jade pendant from her waist and handed it to him, "Take it, don't miss me too much~"

Pei Yinghuai laughed softly, "No, I should think about it every day."

The meaning of the words was unclear. Mu Nanyue glared at him and walked away slowly with a red face. The moment the door closed, she raised her slender arm and waved, saying two words silently.

"Take care of yourself."

Outside the door, Pei Yinghuai clenched the jade pendant in his hand and stood alone for a long time.

At this time, Mu Nanyue had just rushed back to Jiyue Pavilion and saw a familiar figure standing outside the yard. It was the guard Mu Shisan.

A year ago, he had thrown Fu Qian out of the door rudely, and she had moved him to her side.

"Miss." When the tall and straight Mu Shisan saw Mu Nanyue's figure, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, but he quickly lowered his gaze, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Just tell me if you have something to say." Mu Nanyue frowned and stopped.

Mu Shisan said respectfully: "Miss, three months ago someone came with your father's jade pendant to look for his relatives, saying... that he was the legitimate son of the Mu family."

As if sensing the chill emanating from her, Mu Shisan lowered his head even lower.

Mu Nanyue took a deep breath and quickly calmed down, "How will mother deal with this?"

Most people wouldn't be so bold as to pretend to be a descendant of the Mu family. If he wasn't instructed by someone, then he...

Mu Nanyue didn't want to believe that her father would betray her mother, she couldn't accept it.

"The jade pendant has been examined by the patriarch and the elders. It is indeed your father's, and he has the blood of the Mu family." Mu Shisan said with a serious face: "The patriarch kept him, but he is not included in the family tree for the time being."

There was a flash of disbelief in Mu Nanyue's eyes, and she turned and left before entering the house.

She wanted to ask about her mother's condition, but she was intercepted by someone on the way. The person was drunk, had a red face, and was dressed like a decent person.

The drunken man stood in the middle of the road with his hands spread out. He looked at the pretty woman in front of him, with delicate features and a pair of charming and pure eyes, and couldn't help but feel moved.

"Oh, little beauty, did you come to the Mu family to work today? I haven't seen you before." When he said this, a wicked smile that he thought was handsome appeared on his face.

Waiting for the woman in front of him to be shy and be fascinated by him like those men in the past.

However, Mu Nanyue was disgusted. How could there be such a person in the Mu family? His cultivation level was not high. Could it be that one of the guards got drunk and ran out to make trouble?
She couldn't stand it any longer and immediately shouted, "Come here, teach him a lesson!"

Hearing the word "lesson", the drunk man sobered up a little. He gritted his teeth and said, "You stupid girl, don't be so ungrateful. The fact that I can chat with you is a blessing you earned in your previous life!"

"Heh." Mu Nanyue laughed out of anger.

The next moment, the guards who were patrolling not far away heard the noise and rushed over immediately.

When they saw the drunk man, he not only blocked the young lady's way, but also spoke rudely and was extremely arrogant.

They captured the man without saying a word.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?" Mu Jinqian was pressed to the ground, his face changed in shock, as if he was humiliated.

"I am the legitimate eldest son of the Mu family. Even if I am not included in the family tree, I am recognized by the head of the family and all the elders. You bunch of dogs and slaves, how dare you do this to me in private!"

He stretched his neck and shouted, veins on his forehead bulging, obviously he was trying his best.

Guards: "..."

Do you want to see who you have offended?

The guards turned a deaf ear to Mu Jinqian's heart-wrenching roar.

Mu Nanyue, who was about to leave, stopped after hearing his words. She lowered her eyes and looked at Mu Jinqian, condescendingly, "Are you the one who came with the jade pendant to look for relatives?"

What a coincidence.

I never expected him to be such a person.

"So what? You..."

Mu Jinqian's voice stopped abruptly, and he didn't have time to say the following words, "Are you scared? If you are, kneel down and apologize to me." He then remembered that there was someone in the Mu family he had never met.

It’s the eldest daughter of the Mu family, Mu Nanyue.

Mu Jinqian's whole body stiffened, and he cast a suspicious look at the guards. Seeing their respectful expressions, he immediately reacted.

"Are you Mu Nanyue?" Mu Jinqian tried to raise his head and glance at her, his voice trembling slightly.

Mu Nanyue did not respond, but a faint smile with an ambiguous meaning appeared at the corner of her lips. She turned around and waved casually.

“——Ouch——It hurts, it hurts!!”

The sound of fighting coming from behind, accompanied by a man's screams, made one's hair stand on end.

Seeing his stupid look, Mu Nanyue didn't take it to heart at all. But her mood was still not good and she was depressed.

Mu Nanyue arrived at her mother's residence, but was told by the maid beside her: "Miss, the head of the family is in seclusion for cultivation."

Hearing this, Mu Nanyue's heart sank. Her mother was unwilling to believe it, and even more unwilling to face it... Is that so?
Mu Nanyue was not very anxious when she couldn't find her mother, and returned to Jiyue Pavilion.

"System, is there any way to make my father wake up quickly?" Instead of them investigating again and again, it would be better to let my father wake up and explain the situation in person.

Did he betray his mother?
System: “Almost there!”

"What?" Mu Nanyue was puzzled. What did 007 mean when he said "soon"?
"The system detects that your father will wake up soon, host, don't worry."

Mu Nanyue opened her eyes slightly, and after thinking about it carefully, it was within her expectations. "That's good."

Whether that boy is a member of the Mu family or not, the truth will soon be revealed. If he is really her half-brother...

Mu Nanyue thought that it would be a waste to use the two treasures she had found with so much difficulty on a father like that.

A sneer appeared at the corner of her lips.
