After traveling to a country where women are king, I abandoned my husband and children

"That's a bit biased." Lu Yao said impartially: "The Battle of Dragon City was just an opportunity. The fundamental reason why Mu Zhiyi was promoted to a general-level officer is that he does have outstanding military talent."

The old emperor had many faults, but he was absolutely impeccable in judging people. The officials he appointed might not necessarily have good character, but their abilities were definitely impeccable.

Hearing this, Mu Chuanqing's face froze on the screen, and he did not refute his words.

"And even if he does, so what? He has an insider in Hengyang, but he is not Hengyang's insider." Lu Yao was puzzled. "You can't ask me to find that insider and help Hengyang get rid of the harm, right?"

Although Mu Zhiyi had tricked them, he would not do such a thing that would harm others and benefit himself.

"I didn't mean that. I just..." Mu Chuanqing rubbed his hair and said irritably, "I suspect that the insider is a member of the Mu family, my uncle."

"What?" Lu Yao was stunned. "Your uncle...you should only have one uncle, right?" And if he remembered correctly, that uncle should have died.

"Yes." Mu Chuanqing nodded.

"What you mean is... your uncle is not dead, but has changed his identity and is lurking in Hengyang to be Mu Zhiyi's spy and provide him with information?" Lu Yao frowned.

Mu Chuanqing's uncle "died" when he was very young, and the previous generation of the Mu family had been looking forward to the emergence of an emotional master. When Mu Zhiyi had already grown up but had not become an emotional master, and his uncle was still young and had great hope of becoming an emotional master, would the Mu family send him to Hengyang as a spy?

"I know this is unreasonable, but..." Mu Chuanqing looked tangled, "My uncle is legally dead, and the word 'died young' is written after his name in the family tree. But there is a family tree in Mu Zhiyi's study, and it doesn't have the word 'died young' after my uncle's name."

"This doesn't mean anything, does it?" Lu Yao felt that it was a bit too far-fetched.

"But when I was young, I once heard Mu Zhiyi say to his confidant, 'I don't know if Ah Heng is in Hengyang...', but he stopped talking after he saw me crawling out from under the table." Mu Chuanqing said, "My uncle's name is Mu Zhiheng."

Lu Yao hesitated. "Let's not talk about whether your guesses are accurate or not. Even if they are true...what is your purpose?"

"You know." Mu Chuanqing said, "The reason why my mother was able to marry Mu Zhiyi was because my grandfather lost his life to save my grandfather. At that time, she was still young, so she was taken into the Mu Mansion. My grandfather was very busy, so my mother was actually raised by my grandmother, and my grandmother...she was not Mu Zhiyi's biological mother, she was my grandfather's second wife, and my uncle Mu Zhiheng was her son."

"Another reason why I suspect Mu Zhiheng is a spy in Hengyang is that Mu Zhiyi treats my grandmother so well. You know what kind of person he is. My grandmother was thirteen years old when she married my grandfather. It was not easy for her to be close to her stepmother at that age, not to mention that she stayed in the military camp with my grandfather all day and went home less than a month a year. What kind of relationship can they develop? Even when I, his biological son, did not show my value, he ignored me, not to mention his stepmother who has no blood relationship with him. But Mu Zhiyi has never neglected my grandmother for so many years, and has done everything a son should do. Some servants in the family don't know and think my grandmother is Mu Zhiyi's biological mother."

"My mother entered the Mu family when she was twelve years old. My grandmother had raised my mother as her own daughter because she had lost her own child. Later, my mother didn't get pregnant for many years after marriage. At that time, Mu Zhiyi actually wanted to divorce and remarry, but it was my grandmother who persuaded her. Later, my mother was forced to death, and my grandmother also fell seriously ill. Although she recovered later, her health was broken at that time. My grandmother always treated me as her own grandson. At that time, she dragged her sick body to live in order to protect me. It was not until I became an emotional therapist that she was completely free of worries."

"But before she died, grandma said that her biggest regret was that my uncle was never seen alive or dead."

He said a little embarrassedly: "If you didn't go to Hengyang, I would have let it go, but you happened to go to Hengyang, so... I would like to ask you to help me check it out."

"I can't guarantee that there will be results." All of this was Mu Chuanqing's guess, and there was not even a useful clue, so Lu Yao did not say anything definite.

"I know." Mu Chuanqing originally wanted to give it a try.

He thought for a moment and said, "My uncle was 4 years old when he disappeared. If he were alive, he would be 45 years old now. My grandmother said that my uncle doesn't look like her or my grandfather, but looks a lot like my grandmother's uncle."

As he spoke, he took out two photos on the other end of the video.

"This is a photo of my uncle when he was a child, and this is a photo of my great-uncle. I'll scan the photos and send them to you later."

Lu Yao frowned, "The pixel of this photo is too low." And two of the photos are actually in black and white.

"It can't be helped." Mu Chuanqing said helplessly, "In that era, it was good enough to have photos left. Don't be disgusted by it."

"By the way." He added, "Don't tell Zhang Junjie about this. He's so noisy that he can't keep it to himself."

After the recollection ended, Lu Yao leaned back on the sofa.

It's related to the Battle of Dragon City...

After taking the postgraduate examination, when Ge Fu was still some distance away from the main gate, she saw Zheng Ruonan standing at the gate of the Academy of Fine Arts.

"Here, here!" Zheng Ruonan waved her hands vigorously.

Ge Fu put the bag on his shoulder and trotted over. "What are we going to eat?"

"Let's eat Western food. I must treat myself well today." Zheng Ruonan said without hesitation.

"Eat French food?" Ge Fu tilted his head.

Zheng Ruonan nodded, "Let's eat French food. Do you have any restaurant recommendations?"

"Of course I'll go to Guy's," said Goforth. "He never disappoints."

"Guy..." Zheng Ruonan was a little embarrassed, "Let's change places."

Ok?

Gofu looked puzzled.

"Yan Kun likes to go to Guy's place very much." Zheng Ruonan explained: "Of course I'm not afraid of running into him, but Zhou Heng knows our past. Although Yan Kun is a little out of fashion now, he is still a public figure after all. It would be quite troublesome if we ran into him."

Ge Fu said, "Then let's go to New Gothic, a French restaurant that opened only last year."

So Zhuang Jingjing drove over, and after the two got in, Ge Fu said, "Let's go to New Gothic. By the way, call the boss and ask her to save a seat for me."

Zheng Ruonan sighed, "It's so convenient to be with you, Xiangxiang. I can eat wherever I want and I don't have to worry about not making reservations in advance."

"Given Zhou Heng's current social status, he should be able to get away with the reservation, right?" Ge Fu raised his eyebrows.

Zheng Ruonan's face suddenly became expressionless. "Don't mention him when you are happy. It's such a bummer!"
