Xiao Qi Feng’s expression changed as he looked at Mu Chen weirdly, then spoke after a while, “You don’t have to bother why I’m looking for Tian Chang. I just want to know where they are.”
Mu Chen played with a cup in his hand as he replied with a smile, “Why? Aren’t you satisfied with the several Tong Bao Zhai’s shops that you’ve obtained?”
Xiao Qi Feng’s face darkened. He knew what Mu Chen meant. How could he not. After all he was a clever man.
What Mu Chen meant was how could he be so shameless by wanting to meet them even after stealing from them?
He even robbed those shops with his own means.
Xiao Qi Feng’s eyes were slightly cold. He spoke after watching Mu Chen for a while, “I have something important to tell him.”
When Mu Chen heard him say this, his smile broadened. He said mockingly to Xiao Qi Feng, “Why? Are you still thinking of using Tian Chang?”
From Mu Chen’s words and attitude, Xiao Qi Feng understood that it was impossible to get any information at all about Tian Chang from him. He had no choice but to leave helplessly. As he was leaving, he added, “Don’t leave this place until you guys have thought this through carefully.”
It seemed as if he was putting Mu Chen and his wife under house arrest. However, Mu Chen was not angry, instead he even laughed about it.
Haha, so this was her good sister’s doing. She dared to collaborate with others to plot against him. Great, just great.
“Chen, are you okay?” Situ Xuan knew everything about him. Every time she saw him smiling like that, she knew that he was in an unstable state.
Mu Chen turned to Situ Xuan and hugged her tightly, “Xuan Xuan, this is the last time. From now on, I have got nothing to do with her.”
Xiao Qi Tian could have Mu Xue all to himself, whether it was the person she used to be or not. But the way she treated Mu Chen and the others had completely changed. She even plotted against them over something so unnecessary.
Ha ha, this was indeed her good sister. The sister he had loved since she was young.
Situ Xuan wanted to comfort Mu Chen but when she saw the way he looked, she was at a loss of words. All she knew was that she hated Mu Xue for hurting Mu Chen.
“What should we do then? Do we just sit this off?” Situ Xuan frowned as she asked Mu Chen casually. She wasn’t a tad bit worried.
Mu Chen smiled weirdly, “Sit this off? Impossible.”
Xiao Qi Feng had really underestimated them if he thought he could put them on house arrest.
“When the child is born, we will leave after looking at the child.” Mu Chen said lightly.
The main purpose of their visit this time was the unborn child. There was no way they would leave without seeing the child.
After Xiao Qi Tian came to know about Mu Chen and Situ Xuan’s house arrest by Xiao Qi Feng, his expression changed greatly. He did not understand why Xiao Qi Feng had come, until finally he did.
However, it was too late to worry about it. Xiao Qi Tian went to the courtyard where Mu Chen and Situ Xuan stayed, “Brother, sister-in-law. I’m very sorry. I shouldn’t have overlooked the matter.”
“It’s okay. Even though we are put under house arrest, we came to know about her true nature. So I’d say it was worth it.” Mu Chen said lightly.
Initially, when he decided to leave with Ning Meng Yao, he was a little bit reluctant to return to them and abandon his younger sister. He was worried that Xiao Qi Tian would bully her if he left.
But now he knew that his worry was superfluous. She could live very well even if he was not around.
“Brother……”
Mu Chen smiled but kept quiet. He just looked at Xiao Qi Tian and said, “What are your plans for the future? After we leave, we might not come back again.”
Xiao Qi Tian looked at Mu Chen, with his eyebrows wrinkling slightly, “Are you guys really leaving?”
Mu Chen nodded, “Yeah, it is absolutely necessary to leave. It’s not beneficial for anyone if we continue to stay here. You are smart. You should know the reason.”
Xiao Qi Tian was also silent. He could guess that it was because Tong Bao Zhai’s strength was too strong. It was so powerful that it threatened the existence of the imperial power. The outbreak of Tong Bao Zhai this time had shown other forces what Tong Bao Zhai was capable of. Even causing them to fear Tong Bao Zhai.
