“So be it.” Zong Zheng Ming put away the military map and smoothed the wrinkles on his sleeves. He seemed to ask casually, “Who has offended Cefei this time?”
Zong Zheng Lin raised his eyebrows, “How can Fifth Brother be so sure that the one the coming person faced off was Mu’shi?”
Zong Zheng Ming smiled confidently, “Is there anyone more likely to stir trouble in your household?”
This evening, almost none of the people involved in the tsunami were able to close their eyes.
Boss Feng rushed to the southern parts to join Lu Entertainment’s Search and Rescue team overnight. He decided that if the official authorities gave up on the rescue, he would persuade them to continue no matter what.
“Mistress, are you all right?” Mo Lan looked at Mu Xi Yao’s swollen calf with distress while gently massaging it for her.
After washing her hands, Mu Xi Yao took the fragrant fruit that Hui Lan handed over and replied, unconcerned, “Don’t worry, it’s nothing.” She took a bite, and the cold juice flowed down her throat, revitalizing her a little.
“Where is Chun Lan? Have you asked the physician to come? Send her a box of the ointment that His Highness gave Qie last time.”

“Qie thanks Princess for her generosity in bestowing Qie a treasure for personal enjoyment.” Mu Xi Yao replied respectfully, making sure to maintain her posture while showing no sign of cowardice.
Far out on the surface of the sea, if people were to witness the scene in front of them, their three views would surely be shaken.
A group of dolphins and a nurse shark had surrounded a person and were affectionately rubbing against her. The nurse shark, in particular, seemed to yearn to throw itself into her arms.
Sir Wei, are you going to Danruo Courtyard again?” Tian Fu Shan chuckled meaningfully, teasing Wei Zhen without reservation.
Wei Zhen kept a straight face and walked past him with a solemn expression. When no one was around, he couldn’t hold back his expression anymore. Mistress Yao suddenly became concerned about his major life affair. She would every now and then call him to Danruo Courtyard ‘to offer him some advice’, and even entrust him with laying the Young Master’s ‘martial arts foundation’.
“Your Highness, the three Misses from the residence have brought Miss Xiao Qiao over to express their gratitude,” Yan Cheng Zhou reported with a somewhat awkward expression.
Three young ladies came to seek an audience all at once in the middle of the evening. Except for one who was well-mannered, the other two wore heavy makeup and pestered him for a long time, almost forcing their way in.
“Sir Wei is the eldest grandson from the fourth shu branch1 of the Duke of Wei’s House?” Mu Xi Yao was extremely shocked by Wei Zhen’s background.
