Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me

Chapter 146 Could it be that my brother went out to do something bad in the middle of the night?

Shu Yan agreed reluctantly, but there was a gentle smile in his eyes.

Needless to say, the young master must have gone to tell Li Yuan about the news that just came in. He was also kept in the dark, but the young master asked him to keep it secret from Li Yuan, as if he could hide it. What's going on at home, the young lady doesn't know?

It was a lively night. Mu Qingli only heard about his brother climbing over the wall in the middle of the night when he got up in the morning to wash and dress. He asked out of curiosity.

"You came to tell me something like this? What? Did my brother go out and do something bad in the middle of the night?"

As she spoke, she felt like laughing and sat in front of the mirror with a slight smile on her lips.

Qiu Jin also smiled and skillfully started to tie her hair, her voice soft and gentle.

"My dear, I heard that Prince An accidentally fell into the toilet last night after getting drunk. He struggled for a long time before being rescued by the servants. He was in a state of turmoil until almost dawn before he managed to get some sleep."

This time Mu Qingli couldn't help but burst out laughing, and looked at her with a strange light in his eyes.

"This...was it my brother who did it? He went to deal with Lu Shaocong in the middle of the night. Was he venting his anger on me?"

"That's right. I was so happy when I heard the news this morning. I never thought that the young master would do such a shameless thing. I think he must be trying to vent his anger on the young lady."

"That's right, the girl is the most favored in our family. Even if she gets married in the future, it will just be one more person who loves her even more."

Qilan and Qixue looked at each other and laughed happily with their hands covering their mouths, with a joking look on their faces.

Mu Qingli glared at the two girls in an angry manner, tilted her head to put on her earrings, not bothering to pay attention to them, and stood up with a smile.

"Let's go. We have to go out after dinner with mother and brother."

The three of them followed him out with smiles on their faces.

During the meal, Cheng Qin also paid special attention to his daughter's sleep last night, and naturally asked Qiu Jin, the housekeeper beside her.

Qiu Jin smiled and bowed, "Don't worry. The young lady slept soundly last night and didn't even talk in her sleep."

"Brother, you worked hard last night, so I'm afraid you didn't sleep well?"

Mu Qingli smiled and glanced at her brother who was eating quietly. She winked playfully and didn't tell him what someone had done last night.

As soon as Mu Fushu heard it, he knew that the news had not been concealed. He glared at her lovingly and helplessly but just smiled and said nothing.

Cheng Qin glanced at the two of them with some confusion, smiled and didn't ask any more questions. The two children were grown up and they were people with a lot of things in their lives, so she didn't need to worry too much.

Soon after the meal, the brother and sister took the initiative to say goodbye to her and leave, one to report for duty and the other to go out to meet someone.

Seeing her brother constantly glancing at her, Mu Qingli felt helpless and could only ask, "Brother, I'm very happy that you vented your anger for me last night. What else do you want to ask?"

"Um...Ah Li, everyone says that it was His Highness the Prince of Ting who saved you in the palace yesterday. Anyway, there are all kinds of rumors. Those rumors can't be true, right?"

Mu Fushu looked at her tentatively and spoke, feeling a little doubtful.

Those rumors sounded so convincing that even though he trusted his sister, he was still very worried when he heard them. As a brother, he naturally worried that something would affect his sister's reputation.

When Mu Qingli heard the rumor, her eyes flashed and she smiled to calm him down.

"Don't worry, I was the one who spread those rumors so that they would believe that from today on, the Empress and the Imperial Concubine would start to tear each other apart. If they want to start a factional struggle, they have to fight it out properly."

Mu Fushu was really surprised. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke, "Anyway, if there's anything you need my help with, just let me know. I'll do whatever you say."

"I know. Please report for duty quickly, old man, so you don't get late. I'll go out and meet that person and take care of some things before returning."

Mu Qingli chuckled and pushed him into the carriage, then turned around and got on another carriage and went to Fuqing Restaurant.

Unexpectedly, when she entered the No. 1 private room, someone was already sitting inside waiting for her.

She chuckled and knelt, her voice soft, "Greetings to His Highness."

"Miss Mu, you've given me so many gifts, why are you still so polite? Please take a seat. I'm also very curious about you. I wonder how you know all those secrets of this palace? Did you place someone beside me?"

Lu Jinnian raised his hand to invite her to sit down, and handed her a cup of hot tea while smiling and teasing.

Mu Qingli couldn't help but smile as well, and accepted the smile openly.

"How do you know, Your Highness, that I am not the one who has high hopes for Your Highness?"

Lu Jinnian took the tea and took a sip with a smile, then shook the cup in his hand and squinted his eyes slightly.

"You have high hopes for me? Miss Mu thinks so highly of me, a useless prince who doesn't even have a mansion, no maternal family to rely on, no connections, and no background?"

"Your Highness, you're joking. Since I've said I have high hopes for you, I naturally hope you'll eventually sit in that chair. I'm willing to be your vanguard and clear all obstacles for you. If Your Highness trusts me, today's agreement is fulfilled."

Lu Jinnian's expression was calm. He slowly turned the teacup in his hand and chuckled, "But I heard that Prince Ting saved the girl, and Madam Mu even sent a special gift today."

"Then, Your Highness, have you not discovered that I was the one who spread those so-called rumors in the capital? My father was loyal throughout his life, but he never knew the emperor's fickle mind. There are things I can see clearly that he can't. I only hope that if Your Highness takes that position in the future, you will trust my father a little more.

If you could get to know him a little better, you would understand that my father is the kind of person who would work tirelessly to repay others' trust. All my painstaking arrangements to this day are simply for the safety of our family."

Mu Qingli raised the corners of his lips slightly and revealed a sneer, the mockery in his eyes was visible to the naked eye.

This topic also made Lu Jinnian silent for a moment, and finally he raised his glass with a serious expression.

"...Okay, Miss Mu, you are very understanding. I will agree to this matter. If it is successful in the future, I will definitely not let your efforts today go to waste! This is... the peace jade that my mother gave me when I was a child to protect my safety in this life. I will give it to you today as a token of my love."

Mu Qingli took it without hesitation and raised his hand to express his gratitude.

"Okay, then today's appointment is concluded. As for that delicate princess, I understand that although she is physically weak, she has a strong heart. Why not let her stay by your side and serve as an aide?

She knows all about the affairs of the royal family of Dongyi Kingdom and will definitely be able to make the best use of them. I, your humble servant, wish Your Highness a speedy ascension to the throne!"

"Then... congratulations."

Lu Jinnian smiled and raised his hand to clink the teacup with hers, then he withdrew his hand and suddenly spoke with a flash of his eyes as if he had thought of something.

"Miss Mu, is there anyone who is good at medicine around you? Can you help me make some medicine? Or I can also pay for it."
