Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

Chapter 178 Confrontation in the Ancestral Hall

Early the next morning, there was one person missing at the door of my father's study: Mu Jinrong.

Mu Tangxi, like the eldest brother and the third brother, looked at the second brother with concern. The second brother, who was smiling all day long, became even colder than the eldest brother at this moment.

Mu Jinfeng would at least pretend to be as gentle as jade, but Mu Jinbai didn't even want to pretend now. If his father hadn't asked him to, he might not have come to the study.

Mu Lianxue observed Mu Jinxi calmly, trying to find a good place to strike.

Mu Tangxi was also guessing how Mu Lianxue wanted to deal with his third brother.

What Mu Lianxue did happened to hit the weaknesses of her eldest and second brothers. I wonder if she can guess the weakness of her third brother this time?

What Mu Jinfeng cares about most is his face, and Mu Lianxue lets his face be seen by many people to crush his pride and self-esteem.

Mu Jinbai looked like he didn't care about anything, but he still cared about other people's opinions, so Mu Lianxue made him feel contrary to the worldly perspective and be seen at his worst by many servants.

What are Mu Jinxi's weaknesses?

When Mu Wenyu arrived, he told them to review on their own and not to disturb him.

The study was so quiet that the only sound left was the turning of pages. They had the quietest class ever.

After it was over, Mu Wenyu said in a cold voice, "You don't need to come anymore. Lianxue, study hard with the teaching nanny."

Mu Jinfeng was stunned, but did not raise any objection.

Mu Jinbai thought this was a good thing. He didn't want to come here in the first place, and they had already finished their studies. It would be a waste of time to sit here any longer!

Mu Lianxue's face darkened for a moment when her father mentioned the disciplinary nanny, but she did not refute anything.

But she didn't notice Mu Jinbai's casual glance, which was full of resentment.

The younger one is now locked up in the ancestral hall and he has no way to break in, but isn’t the older one still in front of him?

All of this was seen by a pair of amber eyes, and it seemed that it would be more perfect with just a little more fire!

After Mu Tangxi said goodbye to his eldest brother and the others, he took Dongzhu on the way back to the yard and said, "Dongzhu, go help the second brother and let him take action as soon as possible. If it is delayed any longer, won't I be able to see such a wonderful thing?"

"Yes." Dong Zhu stopped and turned around to do what the young lady asked him to do.

Mu Tangxi looked at his own yard, then looked at the ancestral hall, and finally changed direction halfway.

Mu Jinrong felt a tingling sensation in his legs, but he still clenched his teeth, not making any sound, and stared stubbornly at the tablet in front of him.

There are only two, but there are still a lot of incense sticks in front of the tablets.

Mu Jinrong wondered in his heart, he wondered if his mother would also be enshrined here in the future and receive offerings from future generations?

Just as he was thinking about all sorts of things, the voice of a servant suddenly came from the door, "Miss, the master has ordered that no one be allowed in."

Miss?

elder sister!

A hint of surprise flashed in Mu Jinrong's round eyes. His sister came to see him!

He knew that his sister would not abandon him. And is his mother coming?

But the next second, his beautiful expectations were shattered.

"It's okay, I'll just talk to him outside, it won't affect you, can you leave for a while?"

If it’s not my sister’s voice, then it can only be the eldest daughter of the Mu family.

"Okay, miss." The servant was very grateful that the young lady did not make things difficult for him. The master only ordered that no one be allowed to enter, but he did not order that no one be allowed to talk to the young master inside from outside!

He left happily.

Mu Jinrong turned his head to look at the door. The candlelight in the ancestral hall was dim and there were no windows, so the light coming through the crack in the door seemed particularly bright.

Now the light slowly disappeared, blocked by someone.

"Mu Jinrong, I don't believe you can think of such a thing to harm my second brother!" Mu Tangxi said with a smile on his face, but his tone carried a hint of contempt and certainty.

Mu Jinrong suddenly raised his head and looked at the crack in the door, but remained silent.

Mu Tangxi continued, "Do you know what my second brother went through? Judging from the confused look on your face, you are not the one who did it. At most, you are a scapegoat!"

When Mu Jinrong heard the word scapegoat, a sharp emotion emerged between his eyebrows.

How could he be a scapegoat? He did this willingly!

"Forget it, I will ask father to check again. That person should have gone to my second brother's yard after you left. As long as we ask the servants carefully, someone will definitely have seen it."

Mu Tangxi spoke quietly, waiting for Mu Jinrong to be lured into the trap.

Mu Jinrong was confused. He thought he was the only one who went there that day. Could it be that his sister went there too? What if she was found out? !

He endured the numbness in his legs and the pain in his knees, stood up, and slowly walked towards the door.

Facing the light, yet also seeming to walk into the shadows.

Mu Jinrong stood at the door and looked at the eldest lady of the Mu family through the crack in the door.

But maybe it was an illusion that Mu Jinrong had been hungry all night, and he always felt that the eldest daughter of the Mu family was very similar to... his mother?

Mu Jinrong inherited his father's phoenix eyes, while Mu Tangxi has a pair of peach blossom eyes that are very similar to those of Mu Jinrong's mother.

The harsh words that Mu Jinrong was about to say were swallowed back unconsciously, "...what do you want to say?"

Mu Tangxi curved her eyes and said, "Of course I came to tell you how badly my second brother was harmed by someone, and to ask you to give out that person!"

Mu Jinrong remained silent.

Mu Tangxi didn't care about his silence and continued, "You probably don't know what ylang-ylang is? It's a warm fragrance, used between husband and wife."

Mu Jinrong's eyes slowly widened. How did her sister know about that kind of fragrance? Besides, if the fragrance between husband and wife was given to that person to smell... nothing would happen.

"Not only did you give my second brother more than ten times the dosage, but the two servants at the door were also drugged and dragged to my second brother's bed."

"What do you think will be the ending of my second brother?"

After Mu Tangxi finished speaking, her light-colored eyes looked straight at the person in the door.

Mu Jinrong's pupils shrank instantly and his face turned pale.

I was given ten times the dosage, two servants, on the bed...

He thought it was just embarrassing, like the last time when the eldest son's scar was seen by many people.

But what happened to the Second Young Master this time was a bit too much. Why did his sister take revenge like this? !

This kind of torture would probably make a mentally weak person seek death.

"Just like the last time when my eldest brother's scar was seen by many people, my second brother's scar was also seen by many, many servants."

Mu Tangxi deliberately used two "many" to emphasize the number of people, and looked at the somewhat panicked people in front of him with a nasty look.

"It's hard for me not to suspect that both things were done by the same person!"

Mu Jinrong's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he suddenly raised his eyes to look at Mu Tangxi.
