Chapter 201 The Secret of the Mu Mansion

As soon as Mu Lianzhi spoke, Leng Yu pressed Aunt Liu to the ground in a few seconds.

Finally, the two of them were led out of the back door by Aunt Liu, walked through the narrow and deserted alley and went directly to the yard diagonally opposite, and then walked forward along the back door.

On the way, Mu Lianzhi saw two servants cleaning and a security guard walking by. They had no reaction to Aunt Liu bringing them in and out. It was obvious that they knew each other. Moreover, looking at the entire courtyard, the backyard alone was more than three times larger than the one guarded by Uncle Liu.

Outside the door of a room, Mu Lianzhi heard a familiar voice:

"Master, what should we do? Why did Zhizhi come to our house suddenly?"

"It's okay, don't panic, didn't Aunt Liu go there?"

"If she knew we had another son in the past three years, would she overthink it? Would she think we came back so late because of this child?"

"Ah, it would be fine if she had lived happily for the past three years, but unfortunately..."

"Will she blame us? It's so hard to see her, I'm really worried that she'll be sad. If I had known earlier, I should have given her some information in advance so that she could be mentally prepared."

"Why did she come here suddenly? I don't know if something happened? Nian Qing is sick again. If she wants to blame us again..."

Originally, Mu Lianzhi was still worried and had all kinds of wild thoughts. After hearing the conversation between the two, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, she also instantly understood why her parents didn't want to live with her before, and why the two of them and Aunt Liu were hesitant to talk.

It turned out that it was because she had a younger brother.

No wonder they wanted to buy two yards on two streets. No wonder they chose the ordinary old house in the front yard instead of a good place. It’s not about being low-key, it’s probably just to hide their tracks.

One could sense their anxiety just by listening to their voices. With a few big steps, Mu Lianzhi passed by Sister Liu:

"Dad, Mom, is your daughter so intolerable in your eyes?"

When Mu Lianzhi poked her head out, she saw that both parents in the room were frowning and moving around like headless flies. At this moment, the mother was holding a half-grown child in her arms with an ice pack on the forehead. Mu's mother was standing on tiptoe, as if she was trying to coax the child to sleep.

"Zhi, Zhizhi?"

The little boy fluttered around as if he was frightened, and his mother picked him up upright. Then, Mu Lianzhi met a pair of sparkling eyes.

It is a chubby, handsome little boy who looks about eight or nine months old.

“Yeah, yeah~”

The little boy seemed very happy to see her, although he didn't look very energetic. His little face was pressed against Madam Mu, one hand was pulling her clothes, but the other hand was moving towards himself, and he was grinning.

Mu Lianzhi's heart softened in an instant.

She walked forward slowly, clapped her hands and waved to the little boy. Maybe it was because of their blood relationship or because they had a mutual attraction, but the little boy was not shy at all and staggered into her arms.

Mu Lianzhi caught it immediately:

"Ouch, you're crushing me, brother, you're so heavy~"

"Hey~"

The little boy grinned and leaned close to her neck. The two elders of the Mu family breathed a sigh of relief when they heard her address, and their eyes turned red. At this time, Mrs. Liu outside the door also wiped away her tears:

"Master, Madam, I told you that the young lady wouldn't be angry! How could she not understand your efforts? You guys chat, I'll go prepare tea and snacks for you..."

Turning around, Mrs. Liu left happily.

"Dad, Mom, this is a happy event. This is your child, and he is also my brother. Why would you hide anything from me? I'm so happy that he will have someone to rely on in the future."

Mu Lianzhi was a little confused at first, but after the words came out, she understood a little.

If she was living well, they might not have thought too much about it, and might not even have told her that the Marquis' Mansion had hunted them down; but as soon as they came back and became widows, they must have guessed that she had not lived well in the past three years. At this time, they gave birth to a son, and they must have been afraid that she would feel that this was another betrayal.

They didn't want to hurt her any more.

Suddenly, Mu Lianzhi remembered that when she felt someone was staring at her before, she saw a woman holding a child from afar, and she couldn't help but wonder if that woman was the mother.

After they came back, they must have understood the situation first. If I hadn't been injured, they might not have shown up so quickly and had been watching me secretly.

If she was living a good life, perhaps they would still be like they did in their previous life, just watching her silently and then leaving.

Holding the warm meat ball in her arms, Mu Lianzhi couldn't describe the feeling. She didn't expect that in this world, at this age, she would still have a younger brother?

As I recall, my parents had a very good relationship. It didn't seem like they didn't want a child, but it was very difficult for them to conceive. My mother even thought about letting my father take a concubine, and they even had a dispute over this. How come they suddenly got pregnant after all these years?

Mu Lianzhi was about to ask when there was a sudden loud "bang" and four or five masked men rushed in, some of them holding shining knives in their hands.

"Be careful."

Mu Lianzhi was pushed behind by her parents, a cloud of white dust flew up, and when she looked up again, she saw crackling sounds and figures flying around in the field, which had disrupted her peach blossom. Leng Yu was carrying a soft whip, and although her parents did not know martial arts, they looked quite agile. The two of them supported each other back to back, and they not only had poison hidden on them, but also hidden weapons in their sleeves, which showed that they were prepared.

At this time, the guards in the yard heard the noise and came in, and the two sides were evenly matched.

What's going on?

Instinctively, she used her coat to tie the child in front of her body. Mu Lianzhi dodged and took out a silk glove from her gourd bag and put it on her other hand. She was already in a state of confusion, but fortunately, the child didn't cry or make a fuss, perhaps because he was sleepy or the medicine was taking effect, and he even dozed off.

His arms were shaking subconsciously. Mu Lianzhi was praying to God in his heart while paying attention to the situation in front of him. His nerves were stretched to the limit.

In the chaos, suddenly, a rough male voice came:

"Don't fight any more, catch that woman and that kid——"

"Zhizhi, be careful."

A man slashed at the guard with a big knife. Leng Yu threw a teacup to save him. The two elders of the Mu family moved chairs to block and also wanted to rush over here. Mu Lianzhi was afraid that they would be in trouble, so he hid in the position and shouted to his mother:

"Don't worry about me, I will protect him! I have given the signal, and the people from Yutian Pavilion will be here soon."

"Hold on, and protect yourself."

She had no idea of ​​the situation, but it was broad daylight and the people who broke in were dressed in ordinary clothes but wearing masks. Mu Lianzhi instinctively felt that it was more likely that these people acted on impulse. The capital is an important area and they would definitely be discovered after a long time. She just said it casually, but it really stirred the minds of the two groups.

The masked man was obviously more anxious. He kicked the chair and shook the two old men away. Then some people left and one person rushed over.

Mu Lianzhi subconsciously turned sideways and hugged the child tightly in her arms. When the man came up to her, he put the knife in his hand behind his back. Just as he leaned over to take action, Mu Lianzhi suddenly reached out and grabbed his neck and twisted it hard.

There was a click.

The man stared with blood dripping from the corners of his lips. He couldn't believe it and died with his eyes open.

"Zhizhi——"
