Zheng Xingguang didn't want to say more. He had to find out whether this matter had anything to do with the housekeeper.

The butler came very quickly, almost running all the way.

"Sir."

On his way here, he had heard what had happened and wished he could kill the two men.

Zheng Xingguang stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the housekeeper coldly. Despite his young age, he was extremely intimidating.

"As the steward of the manor, don't tell me you don't know anything about these two people stealing and selling the manor's fruit."

The housekeeper really had no idea that these two people were secretly selling fruits from the farm.

He knelt hurriedly on the ground and explained, "Please understand, Your Majesty."

"Because the master was kind, he allowed us to pick some fruit to eat. So whenever the fruit was ripe, a slave would pick some and take it home."

"At first, I paid attention, but after so many times and nothing happened, I stopped coming to see him."

If he had known this would happen, he would have come on patrol every day and would never have given these two beasts any chance.

Zheng Xingguang didn't believe it at all. He sneered, "Your job as a housekeeper is so easy."

"You didn't do what you were supposed to do, and instead made such a big mistake."

The butler almost crawled on the ground, sweat dripping from his face. "Please forgive me, my lord! Please forgive me, my lord!"

He simply hated these two bastards!

Life on the farm is so comfortable, there is usually no master around, not much work to do, and there are so many benefits, but these two people are talking about blue birds like this.

After hearing this, Zheng Xingguang didn't want to say anything more.

He waved his hand, and the secret guards took the butler and two servants away to deal with them.

It is best to deal with such unfaithful slaves as soon as possible.

"Little brother, are you done with your work?" Mu Baobao ran to Zheng Xingguang and looked at him with sparkling eyes.

Zheng Xingguang smiled instantly and said in a gentle tone, "I'm done."

"I'm sorry, baby. There's no fruit left for you to pick. How about I send someone to buy some?"

"Is there anything you want to eat?"

Mu Baobao said, "Little brother, there's no need to buy it. It's such a waste of money."

"If there's no fruit, then there's no fruit. We'll just wander around here."

Zheng Xingguang still felt very apologetic. The baby was originally very happy to pick fruits, but it turned out like this.

"Baby, next time I'll take you to a more fun place and make sure you have a good time, okay?"

Mu Baobao said "OK", "Little brother, let's take a walk around here."

"This is the first time I've seen so many fruit trees."

"Every village planted one or two fruit trees, so we could eat fruit in season and sell it for money."

Zheng Xingguang has been to the Mountain Resort only a few times, and every time he comes he stays inside the resort and never wanders around outside.

But he would not refuse Mu Baobao.

"Come on, let's look around here and see if we can find something else."

Several people were walking slowly, followed by their servants.

Mu Baobao raised his head slightly to see if there were any fruits on the trees.

All bare.

"Those two are too wicked. They can steal investments just by stealing fruits, but how can they steal unripe fruits as well? They can't sell them."

Zheng Xingguang held her small, fleshy hand and curled his lips. "For that kind of person, no matter whether the fruit is ripe or not, they have to pick all of it and not let others have it."

"Besides, these fruits are free."

Mu Baobao understood and said, "Just like those people in the village who always want to take advantage of others!"

Zheng Xingguang gave a thumbs up and praised, "Baby is right, that's amazing."

Baby Mu laughed and said proudly, "I understand."

A few children were chatting and laughing, walking around slowly here, not caring whether there were fruits on the trees.

"Prince." Baozi walked over quickly and saluted. "I have completed what you ordered."

Zheng Xingguang asked, "What did the Emperor uncle say?"

Just as Baozi was about to speak, he felt a burning gaze.

When he turned his head, he saw Mu Baobao looking at him with greedy eyes and drooling at the corners of his mouth.

"...Miss Mu, I am not an edible bun. Please don't drool over me."

He thought, should he ask the prince to give him a new name?

His name is too tempting to Miss Mu.

"I'm hungry." Mu Baobao pouted and rubbed his belly. "I didn't eat enough at Uncle Rongjing's house."

"The food portions are too small. Each time, there's only a little bit. I feel embarrassed to eat more."

"I'm afraid if I eat too much, I'll bankrupt Uncle Rongjing's family."

Zheng Xingguang was silent for a moment. The food in the homes of the rich and powerful was like that, small in portion but exquisite and beautiful.

The key point is that powerful and wealthy people eat less.

"Baby, let's go back and eat."

He took Mu Baobao's hand and walked towards Zhuangzi, motioning Baozi to continue.

Baozi moved to the side, trying not to be within Mu Baobao's sight.

"Prince, the Emperor said he would take care of this matter."

"On the way to the manor, I heard that the three princes had been summoned to the palace."

Zheng Xingguang said, "Keep a close eye on him."

"Especially, the Second Prince."

Now the Crown Prince is still under house arrest in the Crown Prince's Mansion. The Second Prince, who never hides his ambitions, will definitely make bigger moves.

Baozi agreed and turned to talk about the prince. "The prince wrote a letter to apologize."

"When I arrived, the Emperor was discussing this matter with Eunuch Zhong."

Zheng Xingguang became interested. "Let's go back and talk about it. It's a good opportunity to let Brother Mu and the others know about this."

There are too many people eyeing the Mu family now, so these things must be made known to Brother Mu and the others.

Flower Hall.

Baby Mu sat in a chair, swinging his short legs and eating chicken stewed with mushrooms with a huff.

The chickens were raised on the farm, and the mushrooms were picked from the mountains. They were stewed for the whole morning and the taste was amazing.

Originally, the stewed chicken with mushrooms was cooked by the servants on the farm for their own consumption, but Zheng Xingguang came with Mu Baobao and others.

It became their meal.

Mu Pingping took care of her sister's meals while listening to Baozi talk.

Baozi said, "The content of the prince's letter is roughly that he has committed crimes and made mistakes, and he will sincerely admit his mistakes and correct them, and ask for the emperor's forgiveness."

Mu Baobao was eating happily by himself and didn't listen at all.

It’s not that she eats alone, but Mu Pingping and other children have to listen to these things and consider their family and their own future.

"The Crown Prince is truly..." Zheng Xingguang said sarcastically, "How could the Crown Prince come up with such a stupid idea?"

"Or does he think that because of his position as the crown prince, the emperor will be lenient with him?"

Mu Pingping asked, "Prince Zheng, won't the emperor let go of this matter?"

"He is the crown prince, the heir apparent of a country."
