Lu Jinan didn't raise his head. He was writing something in his hand. He just said, "Well, get up."

Su Mu stood up as he was told, took two steps toward the desk, and stood aside.

After a moment, he raised his head and glanced at the man busy behind the desk, hesitating about what to say next.

Lu Jinan noticed his strangeness: "Speak."

Su Mu swallowed and replied, "Sir, Miss Jiang ordered Nanxing to castrate Hong Che... castrate him." After he finished speaking, he immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at the person above him again.

"I know. It was me who asked Xu Yuan to clean up the mess." A deep voice sounded above his head, and Su Mu seemed to hear a hint of hidden joy.

Upon hearing this, Su Mu looked behind the desk in disbelief, and just in time caught a glimpse of the lingering smile on Lu Jinan's lips.

He was petrified instantly!

So, he was worrying for nothing?

Do the adults in his family like strong flavors?

This, this, this... Actually, it's okay if it tastes a bit strong, right?

…………

Lu Jinan noticed his gaze and finally looked over from his work.

He carefully looked at some parts of Su Mu, and said pointedly: "She only gave orders verbally, but she is not as good as Nanxing's sword."

What? This little thing is nothing...

My wife just talked, but some people took direct action.

Don't worry about nothing, just worry about yourself!

Su Mu followed his gaze and looked back at herself, and when she heard what he said, she immediately clamped her legs together.

His family members are hinting at something...

Why did he feel a chill between his legs?

Nanxing: Yes, I am the one who would rather take action than argue...

Sumu...

Because his master was a little protective of his son, Su Mu changed the subject at the right time: "Sir, I also found out that the servant next to Mr. Chu might have witnessed the whole process that day."

"Chu Ziyuan?"

"Yes."

Lu Jinan put down the wolf-hair brush in his hand, half leaned back on the armchair, and pinched his brows with his bony fingers, trying to drive away the fatigue of the past few days.

After a moment, he ordered, "Send someone to keep an eye on him. If he goes to look for Miss... Miss Jiang, notify me immediately. If he doesn't, don't bother with it. After I finish these things, I will go find him myself."

He was in a hurry to do the task at hand. If he was not careful, he would lose everything. He couldn't let go at this moment.

"Yes, sir." Su Mu bowed in reply.

Lu Jinan rubbed his brows for a few times, then stood up again and continued writing: "Did Hong Yan make any moves?"

"Reporting to the Lord, yes. I have already spotted other people outside the Duke's Mansion. Although their martial arts skills are not as good as mine, they are not bad either. They have only acquired these skills in the past two days."

"Send two reliable people to keep watching, and don't slack off."

"Yes, my lord."

After explaining all these things, Lu Jinan reached out and pressed on the desk in front of him. The originally smooth and delicate table surface suddenly became dented by a baby's palm.

As the table top sank, a small door about one person tall appeared on the flat wall behind him, and two people slowly walked out of the door.

It’s Bai Qing and Liu Dazhuang.

Su Mu looked at Liu Dazhuang who was following behind Bai Qing with some surprise and asked, "Sir, this Liu Dazhuang..."

"Lord Lu, could you put more candles in the secret room? My eyes are almost blinded by the candles. It hurts so much. You are the Prince of Jing and the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and you are still short of money for the candles..." Bai Qing's complaining voice interrupted Su Mu's question.

While he was grumbling, he walked forward quickly and sat down on the armchair in front of the desk. He picked up the tea that had been cooled by the side and drank it in gulps.

Lu Jinan knew that this was his personality and he was not easy to talk to, so he ignored him and let him chatter.

Liu Dazhuang, who was standing in the middle of the room, bowed respectfully and said, "Sir."

Su Mu raised his eyebrows slightly. Why does this voice sound so familiar?

He circled around the "Liu Dazhuang" in front of him several times, and looked him up and down several times before he asked tentatively, "Xu Yuan?"

The "Liu Dazhuang" in front of him smiled and punched him, then turned around and winked at him and said, "How is it? Xiaobai's skills are pretty good, right? If I didn't make any noise, you definitely wouldn't have noticed."

Bai Qing drank the tea and regained some strength. He was still lying on the chair with his arms and legs spread out. He said proudly, "Of course. Don't you see who I am? My master's name is famous throughout Dayong. How could it be for no reason? I am his direct disciple."

"Oh my, it's really amazing. You know what, it's so similar!" Su Mu pulled "Liu Dazhuang's" face, looked left and right, and gave Bai Qing a thumbs up.

Bai Qing laughed even louder. After he finished laughing, he coaxed Su Mu, "Su Mu, do you want to try it? I'll change your head some other day. How about we go choose an oiran?"

Su Mu frowned when he heard this: "Why do I have to choose the Oiran? I don't want it!"

"What do you know? You have a good-looking face. With a few moves from me, you will definitely become a great beauty. I am bringing out your strengths..." Bai Qing talked rapidly, not caring whether others heard him or not. Su Mu on the side rolled his eyes.

Among this group of secret guards, he was originally considered to be handsome and gentle. Although he was a little short of being a pretty boy, he was not much different.

So, he hates it most when people praise his good looks.

Su Mu: You are an oiran… You are an oiran… Your whole family are oirans, but I am a pure, rough, wild man…

Xu Yuan, who was dressed up as "Liu Dazhuang" by Bai Qing with a face mask, couldn't help but laughed softly twice.

When he first came to live with the adults, Su Mu was not talkative and was always silent.

Bai Qing was still a half-baked miracle doctor at that time. After seeing Su Mu, he said that this was not a good idea as it would easily cause depression.

So, whenever the two met, he would find ways to tease Sumu, and Sumu would be the one who talked the most when he met him.

Xu Yuan watched the two of them sparring with each other again, then stopped Su Mu: "Alright, alright, do you think his dough is the same dough we eat, that you can make it just by saying so? If it wasn't for our master's order, he would not be able to make it in ten days or half a month. Look how weak he is..." As he spoke, he pursed his lips at Bai Qing, who was half-lying on the chair with two big dark circles under his eyes.

Su Mu looked at Bai Qing with a smirk on his face, and then he understood.

OK, I’ve been tricked by this guy again!

Bai Qing suddenly seemed to remember something, and sat up straight, glanced at the man working hard at the top, and asked excitedly: "You said that Hong Er was castrated by Miss Jiang?"
