Chapter 751 (Mu Ran)
Tang Wei was very surprised by Uncle Wei’s eloquence. He was too talented to come up with lines in such a short time.
The maid beside them whispered, “Miss, Master and Madam are waiting for you inside.”
This maid had a mean look on her face and looked at Wei Chang and Tang Wei with contempt, especially at Tang Wei, as if she wanted to tear apart that beautiful face because she was so jealous of her beauty.
Mu Ran nodded and walked towards the main gate. The guards in front of the Mu Mansion opened the door for her.
Wei Chang and Tang Wei felt a sinking feeling in their hearts. Can they not get in?
Just as Wei Chang and Tang Wei were about to turn and leave, Mu Ran called out in a tender voice, “Come in with me.”
“Miss!” The maid behind them was puzzled.
Mu Ran softly said, “A couple of more servants won’t matter. Go and arrange it.”
The maid acknowledged and cast an evil glance at Wei Chang and Tang Wei.
At this moment, Wei Chang and Tang Wei felt secretly pleased as they managed to get in.
“You two wait here,” the maid coldly ordered, looking fierce and not like a good person.
Wei Chang and Tang Wei remained silent, standing by and waiting.
“Xiao Tang.”
“Uncle Wei, what’s wrong?” Tang Wei whispered.
“Find a way to replace this maid,” Wei Chang thought it would be better to get close to this girl.
Tang Wei was not a kind person either and nodded in agreement.
At this time, Mu Ran walked into the main hall, seeing her parents and brother, and a gorgeously dressed man sitting beside them whom she didn’t recognize.
“Father, Mother, Brother,” Mu Ran greeted with a slight bow, calling out sweetly.
“Ran’er, you’ve finally come back,” the woman was excited to see her daughter after three years and walked up to embrace her.
The man sitting in the chair looked refined with thick eyebrows and big eyes, exuding an imposing aura without showing any anger. He was Mu Anguo, an Earl of the Divine Steppes.
Sitting next to him was her brother, Mu De, who looked somewhat thin, with slightly darkened eyes and a pale complexion. He gave off a feeling of being someone who frequents pleasure houses.
Initially, the Mu Ran family was just a small barony, but Mu Ran showed extraordinary talent from a young age, catching the attention of the King. As a result, the Mu Ran family rose in status from barons to earls.
Mu Ran was sent to study at the Tianliang Sect and returned this month after three years, missing her family dearly.
She leaned against her mother’s arms, her beautiful eyes slightly reddened.
“It’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you’re back,” Huang Qiuhua gently caressed her daughter’s head and said affectionately.
The man sitting beside them, dressed gorgeously, smiled and said, “Lord Mu, I’m really lucky today to see the famous genius of Divine Steppes.”
Regarding the title of “genius,” Mu Anguo was already used to it; even the King addressed her as such.
“It’s just that the girl is a bit clever,” Mu Anguo modestly replied.
Xia Yu stood up, smiling faintly, “Lord Mu, I won’t disturb you any longer.”
“Mu De, see the guest out.”
“Yes, Father.”
Mu Ran slightly bowed to Xia Yu and saw him off.
With no outsiders around, Mu Anguo walked up to his daughter and patted her shoulder, “Ran’er, you’ve worked hard.”
“Father, Ran’er isn’t tired,” Mu Ran held her father’s hand, feeling how rough it had become.
“How is it in the Supreme Spirit Sect? Were you bullied?” Mu Anguo asked with concern. He was most worried that his daughter would be mistreated there. He had heard that the disciples of the Supreme Spirit Sect were all arrogant and proud, and he couldn’t help but worry about his daughter’s safety.
Mu Ran softly said, “Father, how could that be? Senior brothers and sisters at the sect were very kind to me. The Supreme Spirit Sect isn’t as bad as the rumors suggest; it’s quite disciplined.”
Hearing her daughter’s words, the parents felt relieved.
Huang Qiuhua held her daughter’s hand and curiously asked, “Ran’er, are there any handsome boys at the Supreme Spirit Sect? You’re almost twenty; others at your age have already married and had children.”
“Mother, I’m still focused on my studies at the Supreme Spirit Sect, and I haven’t thought about it yet,” Mu Ran smiled.
“Qiuhua, with a daughter as talented as Ran’er, you don’t need to worry. Ran’er, rest well today, and tomorrow morning, go and meet the King.”
“Okay, Father.”
“By the way, who was that person just now?” Mu Ran curiously asked.
Mu Anguo replied in a low voice, “That was Xia Yu from the Valoris’s royal family.”
“Valoris? Why did the Valoris’s royal family come to our house?” Mu Ran was puzzled.
“You’ve been away for three years, and there are many things you don’t know,” her brother, Mu De, came into the room and said with a smile.
Mu Ran smiled back and called him “Brother.”
“Since you left that year, the King revoked the protection of the Valoris,” Mu De casually said without much concern.
“Ah!” But Mu Ran exclaimed in surprise.
Mu Anguo knew his daughter’s temperament and said with a smile, “Ran’er, go rest for a bit after coming back. I’ll call you when the food is ready later.”
“Okay, Father,” Mu Ran nodded and followed her mother back to the backyard.
Mu Anguo looked at his son and whispered, “Why did you say so much? Don’t you know that your sister was trying to persuade the King to continue the protection of the Valoris back then? The moment she left, the King revoked it. If she finds out, she might say something.”
“Father, I’m sorry.”
“You! If you had half of your sister’s intelligence, I’d be content. All you do every day is hang out with those friends of yours and indulge in wine and pleasure!” Mu Anguo scolded his son and left.
Mu De’s face twitched slightly, seemingly unwilling. From childhood to adulthood, his parents had praised his sister the most, almost treating him as a pile of rubbish. He was too angry to speak up.
Feeling frustrated, Mu De walked out of the main hall and saw Wei Chang and Tang Wei waiting around the corner.
When he saw Tang Wei, Mu De’s eyes were full of admiration. This woman was stunning!
So beautiful!
Although she was dressed plainly, her charm couldn’t be hidden. Where did these two come from?
“Who are you two?” Mu De quickly adjusted his mindset. He was also a frequent visitor to pleasure houses, but such beauty was indeed rare.
“Sir, we are a couple brought in by Miss,” Wei Chang whispered.
Already married! What a pity! What a pity!!!
Mu De shook his head and left. It seemed he wasn’t interested in married women.
“What are you two stupidly standing there for? Come here!” The maid shouted sharply at Wei Chang and Tang Wei, with a mean tone that sounded quite unpleasant.
This also annoyed Tang Wei. They had to come up with a plan!
Wei Chang was assigned to chop firewood, and Tang Wei was assigned to do laundry. For the sake of their mission, the couple had no bottom line.
Mu Ran returned to her own boudoir, which was still decorated the same as three years ago, with no changes. It seemed someone cleaned it every day.
However, now Mu Ran didn’t feel as happy as before. The King had promised to protect the people of Valoris, where the environment was harsh, and people would starve to death in winter, and even face attacks from monsters.
