2528 He’s Doing It on Purpose
“This man would rather treat an impostor as his daughter than see his real daughter!” Mu Xingchen clenched his fists tightly as he spat out, “Utterly foolish!”
He should have long realized this. Only things that that man permitted to happen could happen.
How could Concubine Shi be so brazen as to bring that fake into the Mu Estate?
It was obvious that that man himself agreed to it!
He did it on purpose. He was purposely turning a blind eye and shelving the matter of the fake’s questionable background.
Only this way would everybody in the Mu Clan not pursue the matter about the fake’s background. They would then accept this fake’s existence.
Mu Xingchen’s eyes had turned red from anger.
“Coward! Even if he doesn’t want to meet with Qiaoqiao, there is no need to disgust himself with a fake! He doesn’t mind spending money on a b*tch, but I mind that the b*tch’s existence is soiling the entire courtyard!”
The boy servant kept his head and eyes down. He completely pretended to be air, hoping that the young master could let him go…
Mhm, he didn’t hear anything at all.
“I won’t let this fake occupy my younger sister’s position.”
Mu Xingchen’s eyes showed a cold light.
“Y-Young Master, you, what are you p-planning to do??”
The boy servant truly wanted to slap his mouth. Why was he freakin’ stuttering now?
Don’t be intimidated!
You have to advise your young master not to court disaster!
With the current situation, outrightly opposing the family head right now meant courting disaster!
“What are you thinking?”
“Ah?” The boy servant looked dazedly at Mu Xingchen. He hastily answered, “Y-Young Master, I-I am contemplating how to advise you to put down your cleaver.”
Mu Xingchen looked askance at him. “A cleaver?”
“Th-That’s right! Don’t think I that I don’t know. Young Master, you are planning to sneak into Tinglan Courtyard when it gets dark and just directly slit that girl’s throat!”
Mu Xingchen sniggered. “You quite understand your young master.”
“O-Of course.” The boy servant wished for nothing more than to give himself another slap to the mouth. Who told you to be talkative and divulge your inner thoughts!?
“Y-Young Master, you cannot be rash!” The boy servant hastily hugged Mu Xingchen’s thigh and wailed, “Young Master, let’s not act so rashly, ah! If that person in Tinglan Courtyard dies now, you’ll be the prime suspect. After all, we were just in conflict with them! Your reputation will take a hit if word gets out that you killed your younger sister.”
“There is no need to suspect. I’m the one who did it.” Mu Xingchen sneered.
However, by the time he went to Tinglan Courtyard again, he discovered that it was already empty. After he made inquiries, it turned out Concubine Shi had brought that fake to recuperate in Olive Garden.
Recuperating was an excuse. The primary reason was to prevent this fake from unknowingly getting killed in Tinglan Courtyard.
Mu Xingchen sneered. Concubine Shi was truly taking pains for this impostor!

A petite head probed into the doorway to the study and then pulled back out again.
Mo Lian couldn’t help but laugh. He set down the materials in his hands and chuckled, “I already see you, so what are you hiding for?”
The little fellow skipped inside, and Mo Lian took her into his arms.
“Hungry?”
The little lady nodded. She looked up at him with her round eyes. “I am especially craving piping-hot roasted sweet potatoes right now.”
“Okay, I’ll roast some for you.” Mo Lian squeezed her petite nose and said with a smile, “You truly are a small glutton.”
He waved his hand, taking out a small stove and several sweet potatoes from his inner world.
