Mu Zhuoyun knew that his daughter did not remember what happened after she was in coma, so he told Mu Ningxue what he knew.
"Oh, I really didn't expect that this bastard was really loyal. He even sacrificed his life to lure out the giant lizard and pseudo-dragon, and let the giant lizard and pseudo-dragon fight with Lu Nian. Both sides were injured, so that you guys could be rescued. A while ago, Mo Mo Jiaxing came to see you and I comforted him. I wanted him to work with me and give him a high salary, but unfortunately he refused." Mu Zhuoyun said with a look of regret.
Mu Zhuoyun didn't like Mo Fan very much at first, but after knowing that he risked his life to save his daughter, he had to completely change his view of Mo Fan, and he also asked his subordinates to take care of Mo Fan's family. No matter what you say, you have to give a good explanation to others.
"Is he...really dead?" Mu Ningxue asked seriously.
"Well, it's the news that Zhan Kong brought back. It's impossible for Zhan Kong to lie. Don't be too sad...Actually, I didn't expect that he liked you so much that he would risk his own life just to save you. If I knew ...I wouldn't have treated him like that at the beginning, alas, forget it, forget it." Mu Zhuoyun sighed.
Mu Ningxue rested her chin on her knees and looked out the window in concentration, recalling in her mind what Mo Fan said to herself in the church that day.
Are those what he is saying?
But whether it was yes or no, he couldn't verify it, and it became his last words to himself.
Any expectation was completely gone like this.
"Ning Xue, don't use the ice crystal bow again within a year. Although my father also hopes that you can gain a foothold in the entire Mu family, I don't want to see anything happen to you. We This small family is already withering away. If you want to rely on others in the imperial capital, the behemoth of the Mu family, if you fall, our whole family will be doomed." Mu Zhuoyun said seriously.
"Yeah, I'll pay attention." Mu Ningxue nodded, still thinking about some things that she felt were a little green.
Mu Zhuoyun did not disturb Mu Ningxue's rest anymore. He knew that his daughter must be recalling the boy who abducted her to escape from this huge prison...
…
After walking out of the house, Mu Zhuoyun sat on the sofa and finally let out a long breath.
Just when he was about to plan what to do next, the housekeeper walked in with a young man wearing a silver chain around his neck and a middle-aged man with his hair combed back to expose his forehead.
The two were well dressed and had many accessories. There are jade, pendants, and rings. I don’t know if they are just rare decorations or precious magic weapons.
"It turns out that Mr. Zhou and Youhong's nephew, Xiaoling, went to bring me the best tea." Mu Zhuoyun stood up in a hurry to greet him.
"Forget about your so-called best tea. We are here just to see how Ning Xue's injury is." The middle-aged man surnamed Zhou said.
"She is resting, so you two should sit down. I also want to talk to Mr. Zhou about the acquisition of Imperial Bones from all channels in major stores. I have been preparing for this for some time. Do you think it is somewhere? Let’s have tea with the presidents of major stores.” Mu Zhuoyun said with a smile.
"You should talk to someone from your own clan about this matter. All the auctions and demon shops in the imperial capital are engraved with your character "Mu". Why ask me for it?" Mr. Zhou said with raised eyebrows, pretending not to know.
"Dad, don't say that. It's not like you don't know Uncle Zhuo Yun's current predicament. We should try our best to help him."
"That's not possible. We are not relatives or friends. Our Zhou family has some influence in the imperial capital, but we must abide by the rules of the family." Mr. Zhou said.
"This..." Mu Zhuoyun looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
Mu Zhuoyun hated this feeling of asking for help, but he had to do this. There is a huge family to support, but most people don’t have the skills. They are all squanderers. He has told them many times that this home is no longer as comfortable as it was in Bo City, but it's a pity that it's of no use at all.
Seeing that the old guy Mu Zhuoyun was still hesitating, Zhou Youhong lost his patience. He opened the skylight and said: "Uncle Zhuoyun, you also know that I am sincere to Mu Ningxue. It is better to get married to her as soon as possible." Come on, then we have reason to help you with all our strength. We also sympathize with your experience in Bo City, and we also know that you are now dependent on others in the huge Mu family, almost like an outsider. But once the marriage is done, it will be different, you We are directly related to my Zhou family. No matter how big the Mu family is, we have to sell our face and be polite to you. What's more, Ning Xue was seriously injured this time. We originally wanted to get some valuables from the treasury. Tianling medicinal herbs are used to treat her, which will be of great help to her physical recovery and cultivation. However, our family master is not a member of our Zhou family, so she cannot afford such expensive things. Uncle Zhuo Yun, you We have to think about Ning Xue's health no matter what. Besides, when she arrives at the Imperial Capital Academy, without the support of our Zhou family, the advantage of her talent will soon be far away."
Zhou Youhong didn't want to ask for help anymore. Now that the marriage was decided, it should be done as soon as possible.
Mu Ningxue's graceful figure, her icy muscles and jade bones, her world-famous face... Zhou Youhong had long coveted her. Thinking that he could get her as soon as he got married, Zhou Youhong naturally worked harder to convince Mu Zhuoyun.
"This... this..." Mu Zhuoyun couldn't make up his mind. In fact, he also knew that once the marriage was over, his small family, which was about to go bankrupt, would be able to recover.
But……
When I thought that Mu Ningxue's life was saved by Mo Fan, if I agreed to get married immediately, I would really be ashamed of that kid's soul under the spring.
"How about waiting for a while? Ning Xue is so fragile now, so she can handle this matter all at once..." Mu Zhuoyun said.
"It happens to be a wedding, so it's bad luck." Mr. Zhou said impatiently.
"The body is important, the body is important. In that case, let Ning Xue recuperate first, and we will come see her later." Zhou Youhong also felt that there was no need to rush and force a woman to get married while she was still lying in the hospital bed. It would be too ungraceful. .
This superb woman will be mine sooner or later!
"Then we'll say goodbye. You'd better figure out a solution for the store yourself." Mr. Zhou said in a very direct manner.
Zhou Youhong still maintained the modesty of a future son-in-law and said goodbye before turning around and leaving.
"Alas~~"
Looking at the backs of the Zhou family and his son, Mu Zhuoyun let out a long sigh.
Family, aristocratic family, and aristocratic clan are three completely different concepts.
The Mu family controlled by Mu Zhuoyun was just a small local emperor controlling Bo City. In the eyes of the real Mu family, they are just small family members in the exiled southern town.
Bo City was gone, and Mu Zhuoyun returned to the imperial capital with the fragmented Mu family. However, except for Mu Ningxue, who was outstanding among his peers, he was able to speak a little bit in this ice family that had been inherited for countless years. , they, Mu Zhuoyun and Mu He, are just like slightly more senior servants being driven by important family members who control more resources.
They are considered old, and it is impossible to improve their cultivation, and it is difficult to expand their network of contacts. They can only rely on the younger generation, otherwise they will never be able to raise their heads and lead a life with the imprint of the name Mu. (To be continued.)
