Chapter 252: Just Like Her Body

Before Baili Xia returned to the main house, there was already chaos over there.

To say that it was chaotic was not entirely true, it was just that there was a heavy atmosphere over there.

Not only had old Sir Dongfang arrived, but Lord Mu Zhentian was also hurriedly brought back from a friend’s place after multiple phone calls.

He still did not know about the poisoning of his fourth son.

Only Mu Lingchuan, Mu Xiaoyao, and Baili Xia knew about it, apart from a few of Mu Xiaojiu’s trusted aides.

Mr.

Xiaojiu’s poisoning was indeed a big thing, any piece of information about it could potentially affect the Mu Group, and even the economy of the entire Jin City.

Mr.

Xiaojiu indeed had such influence.

A simple stomp of his foot could easily stir the entire Jin City for several days.

If this news about his poisoning were to get out, the share price of the Mu Group would certainly plummet.

Of course, the reason for Sir Dongfang’s visit was not about Mu Xiaojiu’s poisoning, but about his grandson.

“My Lord.” As soon as the Steward Dongfang saw his own master, he immediately went up to him and started complaining.

“My Lord, the members of the Mu Family have really gone too far.

Mr.

Mu was locked up for a night, and I wasn’t even allowed to meet him!”

“As for where Mr.

Mu is detained and what punishment he is enduring, we don’t know at all.

How can the Mu family members do this?

Do they have any sense of justice?”

As the last words were spoken, he glanced at Mu Zhentian who had just come in with Sir Dongfang.

Sir Dongfang was older than Mu Zhentian.

He waved his hand, signaling the steward to step back, then turned to look at Mu Zhentian, who had entered just behind him, and coughed heavily.

“Mu, have you forgotten about the guiding principles of our eight major clans?”

“We need the cooperation of our youngsters to maintain the prosperity of Jin City.

We can’t allow any external forces to invade this place.

These are the rules established by our ancestors.”

“What on earth have your young ones been doing?

They brought my grandson back and held him captive for an entire day and night!”

“When my steward came over, he was not even allowed to meet my grandson.

Now you tell me exactly what’s going on with my grandson!”

Mu Zhentian had also just heard about this matter and rushed back as quickly as he could.

Seeing that Sir Dongfang was genuinely upset, he could only offer an appeasing smile and walk over to him.

He invited Sir Dongfang to sit down on the small sofa, then turned to the footman standing behind him, his face grave.

“Where is Mr.

Mu?

Bring him down at once.”

…In this way, Mu Xiaoyao, who was still half-asleep, was called downstairs by a footman.

He arrived still drowsy from sleep.

Last night, sleep did not come easily.

He was worried that the young girl would run out alone again.

It wasn’t until the early hours of the morning that, hearing no noise from next door, he eventually fell asleep.

All in all, he had slept less than three hours.

And now, he was being rudely awakened by the footman.

Seeing Sir Dongfang here did not surprise Mu Xiaoyao in the slightest.

He strolled over to the sofa, greeted Lord Mu with a “Grandpa”, and sat down without a fuss.

He then poured himself a cup of tea, and sat back comfortably.

Mu Lingchuan, who arrived a step later, was also woken by the footman.

However, when he came out, he was completely awake and did not look like someone who had just woken up.

Lord Mu ignored Mu Xiaoyao, and as he watched Mu Lingchuan come down, his face darkened further.

“It’s one thing that your brother is causing havoc, but you indulging him is something else.

What exactly happened last night?”
