Sick Man Turns Out to be a General

Shen Jingli jumped up from the bed and looked at Mu Chen in shock. He thought it would still be some time before he left.    

"The Emperor has issued an imperial decree announcing my return to the capital." It was not that he had to hurry back, but that the Emperor had forced him to do so.    

How could the Emperor not consider his feelings before he gave the order? Shen Jingli muttered gloomily. He had not prepared himself to face the group of jackals and tigers on Mu Family, if by any chance his skin and bones would be ripped off, he would really be worried.    

Seeing his long and displeased face, Mu Chen couldn't help but laugh as he pulled him into his embrace, "We won't be staying at the Mu Family, so you don't have to worry about meeting them everyday."    

He had already been expelled from the clan and his name had been removed from the family tree. He was no longer a descendant of Mu Family, and he could not inherit his father's title.    

"You care?" After all, this was a place that he had lived in for many years, yet he had been kicked out of like a drowning dog.    

Mind? Of course he would mind, but most of it was because he felt sorry for the old man. The old man had doted on him since he was young, and treated him as his future successor, so he wanted to hand over the entire Marquis Zhen Yuan Mansion to him. However, he didn't do what the old man had hoped for.    

"I just feel sorry for the old tutor." He leaned against his shoulder, his voice low and tinged with guilt.    

"The old man will understand." Shen Jingli held onto his hand, and comforted him softly.    

The matter of returning to the capital was settled just like that. As soon as the newly appointed Prefect took office, they left.    

It would take at least ten days for them to arrive even if they were on horseback and on horseback. During this time, Shen Jingli led Mu Jin, Lee Qi and the others to sweep through the Jiang City and bought a lot of things.    

Knowing that he had to return to the capital, Mu Jin felt depressed all the time. The only impression he had of the capital was that depressing house in Mu Mansion and that cold face of the Dehui County Lord. He did not want to go back, nor did he want to see those people again.    

"Big brother, why do we have to go back to the capital?" Isn't it nice here? Besides, his mother was also here. What would his mother do when they returned to the capital?    

Mu Jin face was stern, extremely resistant to going back to the capital.    

Seeing him like that, without saying a word, Shen Jingli pushed his son into his embrace. The little fellow's personality was very lively, twisting around in his embrace, and even grabbed onto his hair, causing him to have no choice but to focus on him.    

"Uncle, Su …" The little guy's learning ability was very good, and he was fluent in calling people. As he shouted, he kissed Mu Jin, and his face was filled with saliva. He then laughed happily.    

Being played like this with his nephew until he lost his temper, Mu Jin could only play with the child wholeheartedly.    

"He just couldn't think straight. He'll be fine in a few days." Shen Jingli sat beside Mu Chen and said.    

"Jin'er has suffered a lot in the past few years." He thought that no matter how much his grandmother disliked his mother, she would still take into consideration that his mother had given birth to two legitimate sons for Mu Family, so she would protect his mother a little more. He never thought that his grandmother would insist that his mother steal from him, saying that Jin'er was not his father's son.    

"He will never suffer again." His sense of responsibility was too strong, so he pushed himself too hard.    

"Because you were his sister-in-law."    

"I thought you were praising me." It didn't matter if he praised more; he would be able to take it.    

Shen Jingli proudly raised his head, his eyebrows dancing and he laughed, his appearance lively and alluring, Mu Chen reached out to hug him, and also laughed along.

Zeng Family    

"Pa …"    

Ceng Wan'er angrily swept all the items on the table away, and then unhappily stepped onto them. Her expression was so ferocious that maidservant, who was standing at the side, did not dare to breathe, and could only kneel on the ground, trembling. She hoped that the Fourth Miss could ignore them.    

It was a pity that this wish would not be fulfilled. Ceng Wan'er, who was currently ten meters away from him, saw maidservant, who was cowering to the side. She became even more displeased, walked forward, slapped one of them, and scolded: "Little slut, what are you doing here? "So annoying …"    

maidservant held her face in grievance, she wanted to cry but did not dare to make a sound. She wanted to go out but was afraid of being scolded.    

"Do you really have to go against the maidservant?" When Zeng Rou'er came in from outside, she couldn't help but shake her head when she saw the room full of miserable conditions. This little sister of hers was just too impatient.    

She lifted up her skirt, wanting to cross those messy things, but she couldn't find any place to go. She turned around to her servant girl and said, "Meixiang, let people clean up these things."    

"Yes," Mei Xiang replied. She quickly called a few maidservant s to clean the messy house and put in new tea tables, tea set, vases, and a screen that was broken by Ceng Wan'er.    

"What are you angry about?" Pulling Ceng Wan'er and sitting him on the beauty's bed, Zeng Rou'er once again instructed Mei Xiang to go out and brew the tea.    

"His Majesty ordered for Mu Chen to be summoned back to the capital, does Big Sister not know?" Ceng Wan'er asked full of atmosphere.    

She had already expected that Mu Chen would return to the capital. However, she had thought that Mu Chen would return in a sorry state, like a homeless dog that was wagging his tail while begging for mercy, and not like this.    

In the past, she felt that his face and his identity were compatible with her, but to have no feelings was to have no feelings. Now, that man, who had been ridiculed by her and thought that he would never get up again, wanted to return back to the capital, she still felt that it was a very strange feeling.    

Zeng Rou'er frowned, "Yesterday, Your Highness returned from the palace and said that his Majesty intends to recover Mu Chen's official position."    

"What?" Ceng Wan'er suddenly stood up, the veins on her hands tensed up, "That trash was poisoned, I don't know if he's going to die, what's the use of letting him recover his position?"    

"That may not be so." Zeng Rou'er shook her head, "The Fourteenth Master might have already detoxified his poison, and if King Jing were to send him back to the capital, he wouldn't just watch him die."    

His Majesty had seen the imperial edict for him, and was thus overjoyed. Not only did he summon the King Jing's grandfather, he had even personally gone to the empress's palace to accompany the empress for more than two hours. In the end, His Majesty was still an eccentric King Jing.    

"Detoxifying the poison doesn't mean he can recover the courage he once had." Ceng Wan'er could not accept the news of Mu Chen's return no matter what.    

Zeng Rou'er rested her chin on her slender finger and smiled, "Don't talk about him, just mentioning him makes you in a bad mood. Tell me about you and Thirteenth Master, do you have any news from your stomach?"    

Being stared straight at Zeng Rou'er's stomach, Ceng Wan'er blushed and said: "I went to see a doctor, there's still no news."    

Zeng Rou'er tightened her eyebrows once again, and said sincerely: "You must quickly think of a way to conceive a child, so that it can hold Thirteen's heart."    

"..."    

As soon as the new Prefect arrived at the city, Mu Chen and his men immediately set off.    

They had a total of four carriages, the King Jing rode alone in one carriage, Mu Jin and Chen Jian rode alone in one carriage. Shen Jingli and the Nanny Jin carried their child in one carriage, while Mu Chen and Xu Yanlin rode on their horses at the front.    

Mu Chen and Xu Yanlin sat on horses, while walking, they chatted, and somehow the topic reached the Thirteenth Master and Ceng Wan'er.    

Xu Yanlin looked around slyly before asking in a low voice, "Zi An, we are about to return to the capital. Have you thought about how to face your big brother and your sister-in-law?" Thirteen years old Mu Yue was the eldest son of Mu Chen's father, the Duke of Zhuan Yuan City. He was the thirteenth in the younger generation in the entire clan and was Mu Chen's elder brother.    

"Why should I want to see them?" Mu Chen asked back expressionlessly.    

Xu Yanlin chuckled a few times. This answer was truly domineering, it seemed like this guy had never thought about returning to Mu Family?    

"The capital is so small, if I were to look up and see him, what if I were to bump into him?" Xu Yanlin had already ignited a raging heart of gossip.    

Mu Chen turned his head and looked at him, "If I meet him, I will, but do you still expect me to fight him?"    

Of course, if the brothers fought, it would definitely become a hot topic in the capital, but Xu Yanlin only dared to think about it and did not say it out loud.    

"How could that be? I'm just worried that you won't be able to control yourself. After all, your elder brother married your former fiancée."    

Mu Chen frowned, he almost wanted to throw a fist over, he knew that this fellow did not have good intentions, he had actually been wanting to see him become a joke.    

"How about I ask the emperor to give you a marriage? The Young Master of the Zhao Family has also been waiting for you for many years. "    

"…" Heavens, is this a repayment from the Modern Realm?    

Xu Yanlin almost choked to death on his own saliva. Mu Shisi was just too ruthless, hitting a snake for seven inches, god, he didn't dare imagine that in his future life after marrying Zhao Wenrui, the ferocious duo would beat him to death, right?    

"Forget it, I don't want to get married so early." With a decisive rejection, Xu Yanlin retreated to the back, no longer walking together with Mu Chen.    

They did not speak along the way, and soon enough, they passed by Jiang City s that led to the city's lush green mountain area that was occupied by bandits.    

When Xu Yanlin and Mu Chen discussed things, they used the excuse of hunting and camped at the foot of the mountain. Afterwards, they brought a few guards with them and flipped over the bandit's nest, not leaving a single one of the bandits alive to be sent to the officials.    

Shen Jingli could smell blood all over the place, how could he not guess it, but he did not point it out, he only carried the child into the carriage, preventing him from seeing the bloody scene.    

He would always reach out his hands towards the outside of the carriage, wanting Shen Jingli to carry him out to play. If Shen Jingli was not willing, then he would say "Mama, Mama …" Mu Chen felt bad for Shen Jingli, so he simply brought him to sit on a horse a few times. This brat was hopelessly in love with this kind of way, as long as it didn't rain, he would definitely lie on the back of the horse like a monkey and "drive …" He really thought he was riding a horse.    

He was playing around with him very happily, big and small. This made even Mu Chen, his father, jealous, even more so, made Mu Jin grumble angrily that he was the little guy's real uncle, and the little guy never came close to him.
