"Who told you to speak so carelessly just now?" Mu Fengqie showed no sign of anger on the surface, but she was scolding non - stop in her heart.
"What did I do? I just said a few words about him. He's just a handyman. What are you afraid of? You're such a coward." Mu Rendong said nonchalantly and even despised Mu Fengqie.
"Everyone in this capital city is not to be trifled with. If you scold him today, what if he poisons your food? As the saying goes, money talks. I did this to ward off disasters for you." Mu Fengqie continued to coax Mu Rendong without even blushing.
After hearing this, Mu Rendong and Mrs. Kong turned pale. "He wouldn't really poison us, would he?"
"Not now. After all, I've paid him. You get what you pay for."
Hearing Mu Fengqie's words, Mu Rendong and Mrs. Kong instantly breathed a sigh of relief. But then they got a bit angry when they thought about what Mu Fengqie had just said. However, they didn't dare to say anything more for fear of being poisoned.
Jing Xinche watched Mu Fengqie seriously coaxing others, his eyes full of uncontrollable smiles. Mu Fengqie saw it and quietly glared at him, signaling him not to laugh!
Jing Xinche: Yes, my wife.
"What do you do in this capital city?" Mrs. Kong asked this question with her eyes rolling around. It was obvious that she was up to no good.
"Not much. We just opened a medical clinic in the capital to treat patients." Mu Fengqie concealed their identities and didn't tell the truth.
"A medical clinic? Did he open it?" Mrs. Kong looked at Jing Xinche. She didn't think that this little slut Mu Fengqie knew any medical skills.
"No, it was opened by me, not Ache." Mu Fengqie said casually.
"How is that possible!? How could you know medical skills!" Mrs. Kong stood up excitedly and shouted at Mu Fengqie.
Fortunately, they had reserved a private room. Otherwise, with Mrs. Kong's shout, it would have attracted everyone's attention.
Mu Fengqie frowned and looked at Mrs. Kong. "What's wrong with me knowing medical skills? It's hard to make a living in the capital. I learned this medical skill from others for a long time and only know a little bit."
Hearing this, Mrs. Kong believed it. After all, in the few days they had been in the capital, they had indeed felt that it was easy to spend money but hard to earn it.
"What does your husband do?" Looking at their fine clothes, this man must be able to earn a lot of money.
"I'm currently unemployed. I just stay at home now." He was telling the truth. He had been sick recently and asked for leave. He hadn't gone to court, so wasn't he just staying at home without a job?
Mu Fengqie glanced at Jing Xinche: You're quite good. Unemployed.
Jing Xinche: Of course. It's all thanks to my wife's good teaching.
Mu Fengqie: Don't push your luck!
Jing Xinche: Yes.
Jing Xinche then sat upright and stared at the teacup on the table without saying a word.
"What did you say? You stay at home? Then you can't do anything. You're just a gigolo!" Mu Rendong looked at Jing Xinche contemptuously.
When the waiter came in with the dishes, he heard that man who had just scolded him accusing the Marquis of Zhongning of being a gigolo. The waiter almost knelt down when he heard this.
Who on earth was this man? He was so blind. He even dared to scold the Marquis of Zhongning. Wasn't he afraid of losing his head?
After the waiter put the dishes on the table, he rushed out. His intuition told him that he shouldn't enter this room again. Fortunately, he had served all the dishes at once.
Hearing Mu Rendong say that he was a gigolo, Jing Xinche couldn't help but mutter in his heart. He did want to be a gigolo, but Qier wasn't willing to support him now.
"What's the problem? Our Qier earns enough money for our family. I don't need to work anymore."
"Humph! I really look down on you." After Mu Rendong said this, he turned to look at Mu Fengqie and sneered, "Look at the man you've found. He's really useless."
Are you useful? You just run to the gambling house every day. Don't you have any self - awareness?
"What did you two come to the capital for?" Mu Fengqie ignored Mu Rendong and asked this question again.
"Humph, I'm afraid you'll be envious if I tell you. Your eldest sister met a noble person in the capital. Now she's living a life of wealth and luxury. So a few days ago, she sent us a letter asking us to come to the capital to enjoy a good life." Mrs. Kong looked at Mu Fengqie and Jing Xinche haughtily.
Looking at their expressions, Mu Fengqie slightly curled her lips. "Did eldest sister tell you the address?"
As soon as this was mentioned, Mrs. Kong and Mu Rendong got angry, but in the end, they didn't say anything.
"Eldest sister was afraid that we would affect her relationship with that person, so she bought us a big mansion outside and hired a lot of servants to take care of us."
Hearing this, Mu Fengqie was speechless. She didn't know when she had bought them a big mansion. Wasn't it just a civilian house? And when did she hire servants for them? It was really ridiculous.
However, Mu Fengqie didn't expose them. Instead, she looked at them brightly. "Really? Eldest sister is really amazing."
"Of course." Mu Rendong had no sense of lying at all, as if he and Mrs. Kong really lived in a big mansion.
"Have you gone to find eldest sister? I've actually heard some things about her." Mu Fengqie looked at Mu Rendong and Mrs. Kong with a look of embarrassment.
"What did you hear about Xingrou?" As soon as Mrs. Kong heard there was news about Mu Xingrou, she didn't care about looking down on Mu Fengqie anymore. She immediately inquired about Mu Xingrou's news. After all, they had come from home just to rely on Mu Xingrou.
But they had searched for several days without finding any trace of her. Now that they heard Mu Fengqie say that there was news about Mu Xingrou, they were of course excited.
"I heard that eldest sister was taken a fancy to by the emperor. Now she's a concubine in the palace and is very favored."
"A concubine in the palace?" Mu Rendong and Mrs. Kong both looked at Mu Fengqie in shock. "You're not lying to us, are you? Can Mu Xingrou enter there?"
Mu Rendong still didn't quite believe it. After all, they knew that Mu Xingrou was already married. How could the current emperor take a fancy to her?
"At first, I didn't quite believe it either. But once I met a lady whose husband was an official in the court in my medical clinic. She told me." Well, it was really an official who said it. Wasn't Yuan Yuhan an official? A Ru was his wife. It wasn't wrong for her to say so.
Hearing that it was an official's wife who said it, Mrs. Kong and Mu Rendong believed it a bit. "Then what did that official's wife tell you?"
"It's been a while. Let me think carefully." Mu Fengqie leaned against Jing Xinche and began to recall.
