"Hmm? What is this? Why does it have Tu Country’s script on it?" A civil official stepped forward, pointing in astonishnt at the letters that were charred but the content still clearly visible.
Letters with Tu Country’s script on them?
The implications of this sentence are substantial, the matters it represents can be both significant and insignificant.
As this news spread, more people were filled with doubt and suspicion. Mu Xiong, the owner of the study, furrowed his brow.
He’s well aware of what is in his study.
Yet, he couldn’t recall ever seeing these letters.
Among the bewildered crowd, soone curiously went over, bent down and picked up the questioned letters from the ground, bringing them back.
"There is a royal emblem of Tu Country on this," the person who picked up the letters made a new discovery on the envelope. After years of war with Qin Country, how could they not be familiar with everything about the enemy?
Moreover, Tu Country’s envoy is currently in Luodu. The leader among them is from the royal family of Tu Country, and it’s not hard to spot the sa emblem printed on his attire.
Imdiately, the crowd was filled with discussions.
If we say that Mu Xiong needed to study Tu Country’s script due to frequent warfare with them, or required intelligence from their spies that needed differentiating with the Tu Country’s script, that would still be reasonable.
However, for letters marked with the royal emblem of Tu Country to appear in his study, and to be secretly tucked within the books—it makes things a bit more complicated.
Mu Qingge subtly shifted her gaze towards Bai Xiyue.
At this mont, she had already concealed herself within the crowd, deliberately diminishing her presence. Her pure and elegant face was expressionless.
Only her eyes, silently observing everything, faintly revealed a sense of smugness.
Mu Qingge withdrew her gaze, glancing playfully at Qin Jinhao with the corner of her eye: ’Is this how the person you value plants evidence and fras others?’
Qin Jinhao received this glance and returned it in kind. Seemingly reassuring Mu Qingge that since they were allies, he would never let anything happen to the Mu Mansion at this ti.
Indeed. When Mu Qingge uttered that ’okay,’ he exposed Bai Xiyue’s entire plan, also stating he was against it, but Bai Xiyue insisted.
He could have stopped today’s events, but Mu Qingge stopped him.
He could tell Mu Qingge wanted to deal with Bai Xiyue herself. To thoroughly win over the Mu Family, sacrificing a re Bai Xiyue ant nothing.
Compared to the Mu Family, Bai Xiyue was insignificant.
So, he was willing to cooperate with Mu Qingge.
Of course, he was not afraid of Bai Xiyue turning on her. Because he wouldn’t give her the chance!
Bai Xiyue was completely unaware that she had already been betrayed by the man she loved and trusted the most. At this mont, she was just delighted watching everything unfold as she imagined.
The only people who paid attention to her, apart from Mu Qingge, were Mu Lianrong.
When she saw the hidden excitent in Bai Xiyue’s eyes, her gaze darkened, as if she had lost part of her soul.
The interaction between Mu Qingge and Qin Jinhao didn’t alarm those around them but instead caught the attention of Qin Jinchen standing at the edge.
He seed to notice sothing, furrowed his brow, but said nothing.
Finally, his gaze locked onto Mu Qingge.
"Lord Marquis, may I take a look at these letters?" The official who picked up the letters pondered for a mont and then boldly asked Mu Xiong.
Mu Xiong replied calmly, "If you want to look, then look. I have never seen these things either, and I am very curious myself."
