Chapter 710 I Believe in Your Ability
Chapter 710 I Believe in Your Ability
Master Mu Er was still feeling proud, but unexpectedly Hong Gu changed the subject.
"But you don't know that my disciple is marrying the Ninth Princess of the current Emperor Xuanyuan. Master Mu Er should have heard about the wedding a few days ago. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to divorce the princess for no reason."
Second Master Mu's face turned pale, and he looked at Lu Beichen in horror. Finally, his legs gave way and he knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "I deserve to die. I never knew the true face of my husband."
"We have never met, so it's understandable that we don't know each other. However, please forgive me for not being able to comply with Master Mu's proposal just now. The Ninth Princess and I are in love, and the Emperor personally arranged our marriage. I will have a princess in this life."
"Yes, yes, your Majesty is absolutely right. It is me who has no eyes to recognize the real man. All I said just now was nonsense."
He looked at Master Mu for help.
It's a pity that Master Mu didn't want to take care of his business at all. He was secretly happy in his heart. He really deserved it. If he walked on the road at night too much, he would encounter ghosts. Didn't he just walk into the trap?
Seeing that his elder brother ignored him, he could only save himself.
These days, the story about the Ninth Princess and her husband has been widely spread, especially about the husband. He had over 1,300 people carrying the wedding gown, which shows how wealthy his family is. Even the Mu family doesn't have the courage and financial resources to do that.
"I am here to accompany my master to the Mu family today. I am not the protagonist, so please stop making this kind of joke, Mr. Mu. I don't think it's funny at all, don't you think?" Although Lu Beichen was laughing, that laugh made Mr. Mu feel cold all over.
For the first time, he felt resentful towards his precious granddaughter. If that damn girl hadn't said she liked him, he wouldn't have made such a big fool of himself. Now, he failed to show off and was laughed at instead. If this matter got out, he would lose his reputation for the rest of his life.
"Yes, Your Majesty is absolutely right. It is just that I did not know the seriousness of my words. Please do not take it to heart." Cold sweat broke out on his head and his whole body was shaking.
"Fortunately, you said this in front of me today. If you had said it in front of my wife, the situation might have been completely different. She has a bad temper, so please be more careful with your words in the future, Master Mu. I will just treat today's incident as a misunderstanding. Get up, the ground is cold."
After escaping the danger, Master Mu Er felt his back was soaked. Oh my god, it was too scary.
He is different from his elder brother. His elder brother is in charge of the family business. Even if he encounters officials, he can't handle it, let alone the royal family.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your magnanimity." He spoke haltingly, completely different from the eloquent man just now.
It seemed that he was really scared, and it could be considered as a lesson for him. Lu Beichen did not want to make a big deal out of it, as this would only make it difficult for Hong Gu.
Master Mu Da said to Master Mu Er in a cold voice: "Second Master! Is there anything else?"
How could he dare to stay any longer? Although the eldest brother looked very angry, he at least gave him a way out and quickly shook his head: "No, I'm leaving now, you guys talk."
After saying that, he ran away. It was the first time that Master Mu saw his brother run away so fast.
Old Master Mu was a little surprised. Hong Gu had just introduced Lu Beichen as his apprentice, without revealing his true identity. He didn't expect him to have such a powerful background.
"I'm really sorry for both of you today. I'm sorry for making you laugh."
Then he stood up and was about to salute Lu Beichen, but he was quickly stopped by him. "Master Mu, what are you doing? I came to the Mu family today on behalf of my disciple. You are the elder, and I am the junior. That's all. I am only dealing with the matter, not the person. Please don't take it to heart, Master Mu."
Without the clown getting in the way, the subsequent discussions went smoothly.
Fu Ling said with a forced smile, "You're really something. You always meet crazy female fans wherever you go. Tell me, do you want me to wear a mask when you go out in the future so that people won't miss you?"
Aren't women in ancient times very reserved? Why are the ones she met so weird?
Lu Beichen suddenly felt that this made sense, so he nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you, Madam."
She glared at him and said, "What will Master do if you come back like this?"
"I was just a foil, so my leaving doesn't matter."
"If we can't come back to attend Master's wedding, will you have any regrets?" Fu Ling suddenly asked.
"As long as he is happy, there will always be a chance to see him again in the future." Lu Beichen was very open-minded. The wedding was just a ceremony, and life was the foundation.
"What you said makes sense. Let's gather everyone together for a meal tonight to put it into practice."
Fu Ling also felt a little uncomfortable. Although he had not been here for a long time, he had real feelings for the couple. Now he had to leave, so he naturally felt reluctant. He didn't know when they would meet again.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements."
As soon as Lu Beichen left, Fu Ling came to the study, intending to give some calligraphy works to people he knew before leaving.
Her specialty was figures, so she planned to draw a portrait for each person as a keepsake.
But at this moment, Xiang Qing came looking for him.
"Madam, I have finished summarizing the account books of the Lu Mansion. Would you like to take a look first?"
Fu Ling was very confident in her ability and didn't take the call. She acted as a hands-off manager: "Qing'er, I believe in your ability. From now on, the management of the Lu Mansion's finances will be handed over to you. If there is anything you can't handle, just consult the housekeeper. You don't need to ask for my opinion."
"This... Madam, this is the financial expenditure of the Lu Mansion after all. I'm afraid..."
"It's okay, just go ahead and do it. I'm leaving Xuanyuan with the master tomorrow, and I don't know when I'll be back. The Lu Mansion is still up to you to take care of it."
"Madam, you just got married. Why don't you stay in Xuanyuan Royal City for a while?" Xiang Qing's heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect that this day would come so soon.
"It's because we just got married that we wanted to go out and travel together to leave each other with an unforgettable memory. Anyway, I will come back sooner or later, and I will bring you a gift then~" Fu Ling smiled at her.
"Madam, where are you going? Are you really not bringing any entourage?"
"I don't have a specific itinerary. I'll just go wherever I want. I'll come back eventually, so you have to help me keep the house safe."
Xiang Qing's eyes became firm: "Yes, Madam, don't worry, I will do my best."
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. There's no shame in making mistakes. Take your time. Since I've handed over the Lu Mansion's finances to you, it means I have unconditional trust in you."
Xiang Qing was so moved that her eyes instantly turned red. She held back her tears and nodded, "Yes, Qing'er will remember it."
She lowered her head as much as possible, fearing that Fu Ling would notice that something was wrong with her.
"Okay, Qing'er, go ahead and get busy."
"Yes, ma'am, I'll take my leave now."
"Okay, remember to close the door for me, thank you." Fu Ling didn't even raise his head and began to prepare the painting tools he needed.
