When Tang Wenkang came out of Mu Ruogu, he straightened his back and tried his best to look energetic.
But when he saw Mu Ruogu's appearance, his brows suddenly frowned, and his straight back slowly bent down.
Tang Wenkang asked in disbelief, "Why did Mu Ruogu become such a ghost?"
Mu Zhao looked at her third brother.
He had thick dark circles under his eyes, sunken eye sockets, a pale complexion, pale lips, and chapped lips. He was completely different from the once suave and elegant young master in the capital.
But it can also be seen at a glance that this person is indeed Mu Ruogu.
Mu Zhao sighed, Yaoyao's disguise skills are really amazing.
People around him also talked a lot about Mu Ruogu's appearance, and most of them lamented.
Lamenting that the former number one son in the capital has turned into this.
Mu Ruogu opened his mouth, but before he could speak, he coughed for a long time, as if he was choked by the wind.
Mu Zhao was worried that he would faint from coughing.
Tang Wenkan was bored, "How could he be so weak? A broken leg would have such a big impact on him?"
Mu Zhaoyi pointedly said: "Perhaps everything went very smoothly for him since he was a child, but one day, his leg was broken and his official position was lost. He couldn't accept it for a while and couldn't figure it out, so he ended up like this?
"
Tang Wenkang felt a little guilty. After all, this official position fell into his hands.
Moreover, he was very proud when he got the official position in Mu Ruogu.
He also thought about trampling Mu Ruogu under his feet, but seeing Mu Ruogu like this now, he didn't feel much happy.
He still said awkwardly: "I am more suitable for this position than him."
Mu Zhao nodded in agreement, "That's true."
Tang Wenkang felt even more sorry when he saw Brother Zhao believe it without hesitation.
Brother Zhao treats him sincerely and believes in his character. Even if Brother Zhao knew that he had been so miserable, he would not stop being friends with him, right?
He has to be better to Brother Zhao.
Mu Ruogu finally stopped coughing and spoke with a hoarse voice.
"Qiao Xiangrong."
Qiao Xiangrong immediately knelt down and kowtowed several times, "Third Young Master."
Mu Ruogu watched him kowtow coldly, and after he finished kowtowing, he said something lightly.
"Beat him to death with a stick."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
Biying also knelt down with a puff, "Second Young Master, please spare my father's life."
Mu Ruogu sneered, "An? Do you think I am? Are you mocking me?"
Biying waved her hands quickly, "No...no, I just want to plead for my father."
"Please forgive me. He has already passed his forties, but he blasphemed against the princess who is about your age. Shouldn't he die?"
Qiao Xiangrong said: "The common people deserve to die."
Biying kowtowed, "But my father and I have been dependent on each other since I was a child..."
"That is your family matter and has nothing to do with me," Mu Ruogu interrupted her, "I only want his life now, not yours."
When Duan Liang heard this, he also knelt down with a thud.
"Third Young Master, he deserves to die, but considering that he has been a master of traditional Chinese painting for many years and has devoted himself to painting for you ladies, you should spare his life."
"Ha!" Mu Ruogu asked, "Threaten me?"
Duan Liang quickly waved his hand, "No, no, no..."
Mu Ruogu said: "Master of Chinese painting? It's just a name. It's the same for everyone. Haven't you always wanted to do it? After he dies, doesn't the name and glory of Master of Chinese painting belong to you?"
"He has been stripped of his title. As long as he dies, I will be the most likely to be selected as the master of traditional Chinese painting."
Mu Ruogu asked, "Aren't you at odds with each other?"
Qiao Xiangrong had been looking at Duan Liang since he knelt down. He couldn't figure out why Duan Liang wanted to plead for him.
Duan Liang said: "He is a rival, but he is also like a close friend. After competing for so many years, I know his temperament very well. If he survives, maybe..."
When Mu Zhao heard this, he understood what Duan Liang meant.
He wanted to say that there might be something hidden behind Qiao Xiangrong's flirtation with Mu Zhao, and he wanted her third brother to spare his life and find out.
Not only Mu Zhao understood this, but also smart people understood it.
Tang Wenkang whispered in Mu Zhao's ear: "Why hasn't Mu Zhao come out yet? Is there really another secret behind this matter? If Mu Ruogu had come here and wanted to investigate the case, there is really a chance that Qiao Xiangrong would survive today."
Unexpectedly, Mu Ruogu suddenly became furious.
"What do you mean you know his temperament, but you think he can't do such a thing? Who do you want to inspire to investigate the case? Do you think His Majesty has wronged him?" This chapter has been completed!
