I traveled through time and space and found a mute boy: That’s enough, I feel sorry for him

"It can be cured, but it will cost a lot of money." Mu Tonghai pinched his nose and endured it, "You have to give me this Qiao Mansion, otherwise I can't afford the medicine."

"I'll give it to you." Qiao Jianhong didn't care, "But I want to live in the Mu Mansion."

"What are you doing?" Mu Tonghai was speechless. "If others find out, I don't know what will happen."

"What kind of rumors can it spread?" Qiao Wan felt much better when he heard that it could be cured. He even wanted to tease her, "Could it be that you, Prime Minister Mu, have a mistress at your age?"

"The taste is unique, and the one I like the most is the general."

"My friend, aren't most of these rumors in the capital spread by you?" Mu Tonghai was speechless. "I think your topic is similar to the topic that everyone talked about a few days ago, that Minister Wang married a pretty widow."

Qiao Wan was quite able to understand Mu Tonghai's sense of humor and laughed out loud: "That's not a topic, that's the storybook I wrote."

"Why, you want your own fanfiction?"

Mu Tonghai immediately became honest: "No need, absolutely no need."

Xu Shu heard something: "Are you writing storybooks again?"

Qiao Wan nodded, then immediately raised his hands in surrender: "I didn't write your storybook, I promise."

"I don't mean to blame you." Xu Shu smiled, and seeing Qiao Wan relax, he added, "How much would you like to write a book for me?"

"Ah?" Qiao Wan was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened, "Do you want me to write a story about you and... Mu Jinghua?"

"But I want you to recall the original plot first and show it to me, then I'll guide you in revising it." Xu Shu glanced at Mu Tonghai, "Does this count as my adaptation?"

Mu Tonghai blushed: "Forget it."

Xu Shu smiled and said, "If you succeed, I will give you ten apartments in Beijing."

"Ten houses?" Qiao Wan's eyes widened. "You've made a lot of money in ancient times. Do you know how much a house in Beijing costs? You've spent ten houses in one go?"

She looked at Mu Tonghai again: "Old man, can you afford it?"

Mu Tonghai was speechless and glanced at Qiao Wan: "Aunt, I'm busy looking for medicine in the system mall."

Qiao Wan said "oh" and looked at Xu Shu, his eyes sparkling with excitement: "I will go write the original plot now, three days, I will give you the first draft in three days."

“Although I can’t guarantee that it will be exactly the same as the first version, the plot will definitely not be different.”

This is what Xu Shu wanted, and he gave her a house with sincerity: "This is a house I bought in the suburbs of Beijing. Although the place is remote, there are hot springs on the mountain, the environment is quiet, and it can escape the summer heat. You can go with Xuan Er and treat it as a vacation."

"As for the manuscript, just give it to me after I get married."

Qiao Wan immediately took the key, answered and ran out to find Xuan Er.

As soon as she left, Mu Tonghai said, "My friend, how did she offend you? Why do you want to trick her like this?"

"How could I cheat her?" Xu Shu pretended to be innocent. "I gave her ten houses. I spent a lot of money."

Mu Tonghai almost rolled his eyes: "You clearly plan to take action against the noble families in the capital in a while. Since you are going to move the capital, won't all the houses here fall into your hands?"

Mu Tonghai originally wanted to say that he fell into the hands of the enemy, but he was afraid that Xu Shu would be angry, so he only said it implicitly as he fell into your hands.

Xu Shu waved his hand and said, "I remember there was a saying in ancient times, 'All land under heaven belongs to the king.'"

"Ah?" Mu Tonghai was stunned for a second, "What are you going to do?"

"It was just a casual mention." Xu Shu smiled at Mu Tonghai, "Let me know when he wakes up. I'll go back first."

-

Xu Shu was returning home when he happened to run into Aqiao. He looked hurried, holding a huge bag in his arms, and looked very strange.

Xu Shuben was not the type to care about such things, but seeing that Ah Qiao was really confused, he called out to him, "Where have you been? What's in your hand?"

When Ah Qiao saw that it was him, he trembled with fear at first, then responded in a low voice: "Reply...Reply to Master Xu, this thing was given to me by Master Mu, and he asked me to take it back..."

"Little Mujin?" Xu Shu couldn't help but wonder, "You left the Qiao residence and went to see Little Mujin?"

"What did he ask you to bring?" Xu Shu asked Aqiao softly.

A Qiao hesitated for a moment and then handed the thing over obediently.

Xu Shu opened it and saw a huge earthen jar inside. The jar was sealed with cloth, but there was still a faint foul smell.

"What's in here?"

"I... don't know." Ah Qiao knelt down tremblingly, "The master only asked me to bury this thing under the tree in the Qiao Mansion, and the closer to the general the better."

"You're lying." Xu Shu glanced at A Qiao lightly, "Who told you to slander Xiao Mu Jin?"

Ah Qiao was frightened by Xu Shu's light glance and trembled as he spoke: "No... I didn't, Master is..."

"If you really were working for Xiao Mu Jin, you should have kept your mouth shut and said nothing when I asked you. You blurt it all out like this, do you think I'm stupid?"

Or does it mean he has never watched a costume drama?

Xu Shu put the jar on the ground, and seeing that Ah Qiao was timid and unwilling to say anything, he said, "Open the jar."

Aqiao looked up at him in surprise, then reluctantly opened the jar, and immediately a strong stench hit him in the face.

Xu Shu took a quick look and saw that the place was densely packed with snakes, centipedes, scorpions and other creatures, as well as a lot of rotten and smelly yellow soil.

He frowned: "What can this thing do if it is buried underground? If you really want to kill Qiao Jianhong, you should feed it to him."

Ah Qiao showed a look of surprise again. He was so scared that he asked Xu Shu: "Master, are you also... going to harm our general?"

Xu Shu waved his hand and said indifferently: "If you don't tell the truth, I will give this thing to Qiao Jianhong to make soup."

Ah Qiao gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, Ah Qiao said, I just ask you not to treat the general like this."

"This is definitely not done by Young Master Mu. I didn't go to see him just now. This jar of things is also a diversion of trouble."

"But this was all my idea."

"Why are you doing this?" Xu Shu looked Aqiao up and down, unable to understand what grudge this man had against his little Mujin.

"Of course it's because I know..." Ah Qiao's eyes instantly turned red, and he looked at Xu Shu indignantly, "The poison in the general's body was caused by Mu Jinghua!"

Xu Shu's heart suddenly sank, but he still forced himself to calm down, trying not to believe A Qiao's words, and just asked: "What evidence do you have?"

"The evidence is here..." A Qiao took out a pill from his arms, "After the general arranged for me to take care of him, he took advantage of my unpreparedness and poisoned me. This poison attacks once every five days. When the poison attacks, my skin ulcerates and I vomit blood. The symptoms are exactly the same as the general's. This poison is obviously done by him!"

"If what you said is true, does Qiao Jianhong know who poisoned him?" Xu Shu couldn't help but frown.

"Of course the general knows." Ah Qiao kept sobbing, "He forced me to work for him in exchange for the antidote. After I told the general about this, the general just let me follow him. That's why I helped him find out about you every day and changed the antidote every five days."

"The general was obviously very indulgent, but he was ungrateful and gave the general such a poisonous drug. I went to ask him for the antidote, but he only gave me one and asked me to exchange my life for the general."

"I'll trade my worthless life for it. But before I die, I will never allow such a person to live a carefree life." A Qiao glared at Xu Shu, "What about you! Xu Shu, are you going to be so indulgent towards Mu Jinghua as well?"
