The two faces that were ninety percent similar were both filled with a mix of excitent and fear.
Mu Qingge’s gaze swept lightly over their faces and finally landed on Wei Linlang, who was also standing there looking at her.
One of the top three masters in Li Country, the City Lord of Tu City, was at this mont looking at her like an ordinary man, with a gaze full of longing and pleading, hoping to hear news of his wife from her.
Mu Qingge’s lips curled slightly, and a clear voice flowed out softly: "Glad to not have failed."
These simple four words seed to drain the strength from the three of them.
Wei Guanguan even directly collapsed, sitting on the cold stone floor, covering her face and crying.
Wei Qi was relatively stronger, but his voice was still choked with emotion. Looking at Mu Qingge, his eyes were filled with complex emotions, yet it was hard to hide his gratitude. He spoke sincerely from the heart: "Mu Ge, thank you!"
Mu Qingge smiled slightly and did not respond.
Wei Linlang’s rigid body finally showed a hint of softness. He dragged his heavy steps to Mu Qingge’s side and asked in a deep voice, "How is my wife now?" His eyes were already red.
Mu Qingge looked at him and said, "Your wife is very tired and has fallen asleep. With careful nursing for a while, she’ll be able to move freely again."
"Can I, can I go see her?" Wei Linlang was as nervous as a young novice experiencing the world for the first ti.
Mu Qingge nodded.
With Mu Qingge’s approval, Wei Linlang quickly showed a joyful smile and strode toward the room. Halfway there, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and bowed deeply to Mu Qingge.
Wei Qi and Wei Guanguan imdiately caught on and also bowed deeply to Mu Qingge.
"No need for this." Mu Qingge slowly shook her head, slightly shifting her body to avoid their salute.
Wei Linlang exclaid emotionally, "No thanks are needed for such a great kindness. From here on out, my life is yours, brother Mu!" With that, he turned to his children and instructed, "Mu Gongzi has had a hard day and must be exhausted. You two take her back to rest first. Tomorrow, we will hold a grand banquet at the Wei Mansion to thank Mu Gongzi for saving our lives!"
"No need. I can return on my own." Mu Qingge quickly refused before the siblings could react.
She looked at Wei Linlang with deep significance, then turned and left.
Wei Linlang’s eyes flickered briefly, then he turned and entered the room.
Wei Qi and Wei Guanguan stood there, sowhat stunned.
After a mont, Wei Guanguan looked at her brother and asked, "What did father just call Mu Ge?"
"Mu... Brother Mu." Wei Qi’s expression was blank.
"How can father do this!" Wei Guanguan stomped angrily, tears in her eyes, and rushed into the house to question her father.
Wei Qi stood there, carefully recalling what his father just said, murmuring to himself, "How did Mu Ge suddenly beco father’s brother? Should Guanguan and I start calling her uncle?"
...
Elsewhere, Mu Qingge, resting in her courtyard, was still pondering Wei Linlang’s sudden change of address.
When did she start calling Wei Linlang her brother?
Why wasn’t she aware of this?
Unable to make sense of it, Mu Qingge simply decided to stop thinking about it. Having exhausted herself throughout the day, she was tired. After enjoying the delicious al prepared by You He and Hua Yue, she bathed and went to sleep.
As for the Wei family’s warm monts together, she couldn’t be bothered to think about them.
She slept until the sun was high in the sky, and when Mu Qingge opened her eyes and woke up, she realized the food she had eaten the previous night had already been fully digested.
