Chapter 181: Uncle I'll Behave Myself 54_1

A competition?

What does this mean?

Just as Baili Xia was about to take a step, she suddenly stopped and turned around to look at the people sitting at the edge of the sofa.

It seemed like everyone was present today, she thought, referring to the younger generation of the Mu family.

The two sons of the elder lord, Mu Lingchuan and Mu Xiaoyao, the two daughters of the second lord, Mu Ziqing and Mu Ziying.

As soon as she entered the door earlier, she clearly felt the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

Were they discussing something important just now and did she interrupt them?

But now, was this matter somehow involving her?

Mu Ziqing seemed to agree with this idea as well.

“Exactly Uncle.

Why didn’t we think of this?

Now, Xiaxia is also part of our family.”

Mu Ziqing was naturally unwilling to use the term “part of our family”.

However, since everyone was so worried and exhausted, how could she just sit by and watch Baili Xia being left out of the matter?

Looking at Mu Xiaojiu, even though she couldn’t figure out what he was thinking from his calm face, there were still some things that needed to be said.

“Uncle, grandfather once said that Xiaxia is Miss Mu of the Mu Family.

This matter, I believe, has already spread among the Eight Big Families.”

“Now, looking at Baili Xia’s weak constitution, if we do not let her participate in the family competition, can this be considered as discarding an inferior product to raise our score?

Could there be objections from the others?”

Whether others had opinions or not, Mu Xiaojiu didn’t care much.

However, referring to Baili Xia as an inferior product was something he didn’t like to hear.

It wasn’t just him feeling this way, others felt the same.

Mu Ziqing’s words were utterly brutal.

But then again, Mu Lingchuan and Mu Xiaoyao are men after all.

They generally refrained from getting involved in these little feminine battles.

The same went for Mu Xiaojiu.

The squabbles of the younger generation only annoyed him.

“Watch your words, as the eldest sister, you should act like one.”

He stole a glance at Mu Ziqing, and then turned to look at Baili Xia, thoroughly observing her from head to toe.

Indeed, the little girl was weak.

She would have a hard time dealing with such a competition.

Every time she was under him, she couldn’t bear it even if he only exerted a bit more force.

How could she participate in the competition if she was so weak?

It wasn’t about leaving her out as an inferior product, but not wanting her to suffer in the competition.

“Uncle, I agree with Ziqing’s opinion.”

The always silent Mu Lingchuan also looked at Mu Xiaojiu and said calmly.

“Xiaxia is indeed part of our Mu family.

This is something that our grandfather said himself.”

“During that banquet, grandfather also introduced her to everyone as the Miss of the Mu family.”

“As Miss Mu, she should not be absent from such an important competition.”

Mu Xiaojiu was leaning back on the couch, his long legs crossed.

His look was somewhat deep, making no one could figure out what he was thinking.

Baili Xia was a bit curious now, “What competition?

The Eight Big Families?”

“Yes, it is the competition among the Eight Big Families.”

The only person here who would kindly and patiently explain to her was Mu Ziying.

Mu Ziying looked at her and said with a playful smile, “Actually, it’s not that horrifying, it’s just a competition, but…”

At this point, she subtly lifted the corner of her eyes and sneakily glanced at their uncle.

Seeing that his face didn’t show any displeasure, she then dared to continue speaking.
