Seeing his displeasure, Wei Linlang promptly said, "Your Highness, the one who cured my wife’s chronic illness is none other than Brother Mu."
It’s him!
Feng Yugui’s eyes suddenly narrowed, unbelievingly looking at the indifferent Mu Qingge.
How could it be him? He’s so young!
Feng Yugui’s sharp eyes squinted, filled with cold killing intent. Mu Qingge, however, remained oblivious, continuing to savor the wine and occasionally tasting exquisite dishes.
Slowly retracting his gaze, Feng Yugui couldn’t help but sneer, "City Lord Wei, are you sure your wife’s illness is cured? Don’t be fooled by so charlatans and tarnish your lifelong reputation."
"Hey! What do you an by that!" Wei Guanguan couldn’t help but jump up again, standing up for Mu Qingge.
Wei Qi also stood up, unwilling to be outdone, joining his sister in declaring, "Your Highness, please be cautious with your words. Mu Ge saved our mother and is an esteed benefactor of the Wei Mansion. Tonight’s banquet is to express our gratitude to her."
Their stance made Feng Yugui’s face darken like charcoal.
At this mont, Wei Linlang spoke up once more, standing with his two children in firm agreent, earnestly saying, "Indeed. Your Highness, my wife has truly been cured by Brother Mu, without a doubt. Brother Mu will forever be a great benefactor and honored guest of the Wei Mansion."
After speaking, without waiting for Feng Yugui’s reaction, Wei Linlang loudly addressed the household servants, "Previously, I intended to formally introduce Brother Mu, but was interrupted. Allow now to clarify: Brother Mu is Wei Linlang’s esteed benefactor. As long as you serve , you must regard Brother Mu as you would ."
"We obey!"
No matter how shocked or dazed, upon Wei Linlang’s order, the Wei Mansion’s servants kneeled on one knee, clasping fists in salute to Mu Qingge sitting at the head.
At this mont, Mu Qingge couldn’t remain an onlooker even if she wanted.
Helplessly, she slowly rose and clasped fists in return, saying, "Please, there’s no need for formality. Brother Wei’s words are heavy; since we converse so congenially, your wife is my sister-in-law, bringing no favors."
Wei Linlang, naturally sentintal, was deeply moved by Mu Qingge’s words. He imdiately added, "The bond between you and I is indeed strong, but gratitude mustn’t be forgotten. Henceforth, in the Wei Mansion, your words and actions shall have the sa authority as mine."
With these words, Feng Yugui’s face grew even darker, unable to resist saying, "City Lord Wei, don’t you think you’re being too hasty in your decision?"
"Your Highness, am I now required to seek approval from Your Highness for my decisions?" Wei Linlang retorted with a frown.
Detecting the anger in Wei Linlang’s tone, Feng Yugui’s brow twitched, gritting his teeth with a cold smile, "City Lord Wei jests; how could I interfere in your decisions? I rely wish to prevent you from being fooled by outsiders, kindly reminding you."
"Your Highness, I respect you as a prince, but Brother Mu is also my sworn brother and benefactor, not so charlatan with ulterior motives. Please mind your words, Your Highness." Wei Linlang’s voice grew colder.
Wei Linlang’s words made Feng Yugui’s face twitch.
anwhile, Wei Qi and Wei Guanguan were filled with despair.
Now, their beloved has suddenly beco their father’s sworn brother, their uncle—how could they manage?
Wei Linlang’s nonchalant deanor filled Feng Yugui with inward rage. He chose not to argue anymore but instead looked at Mu Qingge standing at the head of the steps, sneering, "Can you perform Alchemy? You appear only sixteen or seventeen—at such an age, how advanced could your Alchemy Skill be?"
The arrow of provocation seed aid squarely at Mu Qingge.
