< 545 Counterattack 2 >

dden screech tore through the silence of the sky.I looked up and was startled by a pair of black wings that covered the sky.A gigantic snow-white head, black claws, and glossy feathers, the eagle swoo..."What's up" I glanced at Bai Wu Chang, who gave me a knowing smile and mouthed a "shh."

"For specific details, Little Lady could ask the Emperor. I wouldn't dare speak recklessly and get into trouble with him...hee hee, thankfully, Little Emperor and the Fairy are fine~ I'll go take a look at them."

I took a deep breath, suppressed my anger, and nodded. "Go ahead, don't scare my grandma, she's over sixty years old. It's hard enough for her to help me take care of two kids..."

Bai Wuchang raised an eyebrow and said, "There are plenty of maidservants in Yinjingtian Palace. Just call for two."

I wave my hand, I just can't trust others to look after my own children. It's better when they are watched by our own people.

Actually, my grandmother looks like a typical housewife, but she's actually quite tough... Seeing her standing at the door just now and scolding people, I vaguely saw my brother's image. I bet grandma was quite fiery when she was young.

By the way, where's my brother He hasn't come back yet.

I took out my phone to check the time. Usually, he would be home by now.

I don't want to disturb him and Lin Yanqin's date, but there's something going on at home now, so it's better to give him a heads up.

The phone rang and my brother’s voice sounded weary on the other end, "Little Qiao..."

"...What's wrong with you Wasted"

"Well, it's more than just being squeezed dry, I even want to die!"

"Ah Where did you guys go"

My brother sighed wearily. He and Lin Yanqin's date was supposed to be simple: dinner and a movie, no plans for going to a hotel at all.

My brother didn't intend to take Lin Yanqin to the hotel at all. He treated her seriously and didn't want her to sleep on a bed that many others had slept on.

So the result of their dates was always going home, but today it's so late and they haven't come back yet, something is fishy.

"...We were halfway through our meal when her mother called and took her to the theater. She was very unhappy and didn't dare disobey, so she brought me along... Her mother glared at me, luckily her aunt was there, or it would have been too awkward." My brother snorted.

"The opera house You're accompanying your future mother-in-law and aunt to listen to an opera right now" I twitched my lips.

My brother is probably going to sleep through the whole thing.

"Yeah, I'm so tired... Just got off stage and I'm waiting for these elders to go to the restroom... I'll be back in a jiffy, want me to bring you some late-night snacks" My brother asked.

"Take this, and come back when you're done. I need to talk to you."

"Hmm Okay..."

Then we hung up the phone as Lin Yanqin's voice came through.

I stood in the yard, the cold wind in the sky whipping up tiny icy snowflakes.

That touch of coldness on my nose brought a chilling sense of clarity.

I realize there is a problem.

The Mu family wants to be whitewashed, my brother needs to get in touch with many new things, so afterward in our circle, my brother must keep a low profile and not attract so much attention.

Now Master Mu is quite famous, and most people know my brother won't be swayed by either force or persuasion. Some even know about our relationship, so they are rather wary of him.

It is possible that these people, out of envy, jealousy, or old grudges against the grandfather, are secretly trying to sabotage him.

It seems like my brother and I might have to "go our separate ways" in the future.

Thinking about this makes me a little uncomfortable. Over the past year or two, my relationship with my brother has become much closer than it was in the previous two years.

I'm used to staying on the sidelines, watching him banter and scold people with glee. Without him, I'd feel utterly alone—our understanding is irreplaceable by anyone else.

It snowed heavily that night, the first time I'd ever seen such a fierce blizzard. When my brother came back, his down jacket was piled with snow.

He pulled Lin Yanqin into the room, both of them with smiles on their faces, like children who had just played in the rain.

"Xiao Qiao, let's have some supper together!" Lin Yanqin carried two takeout boxes and smiled at me.

She was wrapped in a long down coat, with a cashmere scarf and suede gloves. Although she dressed plainly, the details still showed that she was a woman who appreciated the finer things in life.

But she unfortunately doesn't love those delicate and elegant things, instead preferring to hang out with my brother.

"Yan Qin, you're not coming home tonight, are you It's so late and snowing so heavily." I advised.

Lin Yanqin pouted and said, "Well, I'm not going back. I told Mom that I wouldn't go home today. I'm twenty-six..."

"What are you doing Are you hating marriage" My brother gave her a glance.

"That's not true! I'm saying I'm twenty-six years old, and I'm still treated this strictly!" She opened the lunchbox and said resentfully, "My mom doesn't care about my brother at all. He can do whatever he wants, but she doesn't trust me to do anything."

"Can you beat my brother" My brother and I answered in unison.

Ha ha, she's so middle school and mischievous, how could she even be compared

"By the way, Xiao Qiao, you said you had something to tell me" My brother asked while eating and looking up.

Just as I was about to speak, I met Du Lin Yanqin's curious gaze. Her eyes were sparkling with curiosity as she stared at me.

I chuckled wryly and shook my head. "Nothing much, just... I was wondering if you knew where to get a pet tag. I'm afraid Little Trouble might be mistaken for a stray cat by people around here."

"Pfft! Is that all" My brother sounded incredulous.

Well, then

"Alright, alright, I'll go to the pet store tomorrow." My brother readily agreed.

The next morning, after my brother sent Lin Yanqin back, he immediately woke me up. He looked serious and asked, "I almost suffocated to death last night! What on earth do you want to tell me You couldn't say it last night with Yanqin around, but now that she's gone, can you tell me"

Xi Linzhou was locked up by Lao Su, I'm going to take her to Madam Ma's place.

I spent twenty minutes or so recounting what happened last night, and my brother narrowed his eyes, a spark of anger flickering in them.

"Damn it! What the hell does this mean How many forces are entangled in this mess That vixen's soul is now residing in Qi Ke Xin, completing her mission. And then this fox head became the target of Old Madam Ma's old fox demon, who wants to get her hands on it no matter what"

My brother stroked his chin and analyzed, “Xí Língzhōu must have been cursed by Old Madam M. Otherwise, why would she be bleeding and weeping for no reason Where is she How did the Seventh Lord deal with her”

"He's locked in the storage room, half dragged out of his body, chained by the Seven Lords. His real form isn't responding right now." I replied.

My brother frowned in dissatisfaction and said, “Come on, call up Da Bao and Lao Wu. Let’s go to Ma Lao Tai’s territory. Since they came looking for trouble, we have to fight back!”

I shook my head gently. “Retaliate No, Old Madam Ma’s people are all treacherous and untrustworthy. I plan to let this branch of the family scatter for good, lest dreams turn into nightmares at night…”gly handsome when his mask is removed.And he is still the God King in the hearts of his people.Under these circumstances, there won't be a shortage of people who admire him. I don't mind, but please d...
