Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu was almost certain that this Imperial Advisor was an old fool who knew how to fool people.

"Then do the people from the North King Mansion and the Xu family believe it?"

Feng Lingxi nodded her head, "Of course. Honored Imperial Advisor, the law of the mouth is as clear as the heavens. Who wouldn't believe it?"

Although Feng Lingxi said this, her expression was crafty. There was a trace of ridicule on her face. It was obvious that she didn't trust the Imperial Advisor.

The corner of Chen Mu's mouth curled up as he hooked his arm around Feng Lingxiu's arm. "It seems that there's a reason why we were able to become friends. It's just that our eyes aren't the same."

Feng Lingxi raised her eyebrows, "From your words, can I take it that you are praising me?"

Chen Mu Mu nodded his head, "You can believe that."

Because she praised herself too.

Because of this, Feng Lingxi laughed and winked at Chen Mu Mu, saying: "Look at your expression, you seem to be very interested. Do you want to join in the fun?"

"Go, we're already here." She was actually quite happy to see Lu Jinfeng's embarrassing incident.

It would take him two laps around the city to get the betrothal date. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that there was a bit of humiliation involved in this.

I wonder what kind of expression Madam Li has on his proud and arrogant face right now?

Chen Mu pursed his lips and sneered coldly.

She said that she could not climb up Lu Jinfeng, but he was too high up in the seats, and she was not sitting steadily.

"You obviously got interested, but yet you still act like you have no choice. Some people obviously don't mean what they say." Feng Ling sighed and retorted.

Chen Mu Mu Mu ignored her words and pretended not to hear it. She looked around and asked: "How far do we have to go before we meet the North King family's entourage?"

"I don't know." "When I went out in the morning, I heard that they had already left during the morning. Originally, I wanted to pull you out to have a look, but who would have thought that someone would be so stupid as to insist on going to the Li King Palace to touch someone's butt? Isn't that a waste of a chance?"

Chen Mu Mu slightly narrowed his eyes as he looked straight at Feng Lingxi.

The corner of Feng Lingxi's mouth twitched, "I really don't know where they have gone. I can only use my senses to chase after them, and when I was about to catch up, you refused to leave just now. Now, I don't know where they are either."

It seemed that he was destined to miss this good show.

Chen Mu Mu Mu looked at the sun that had already reached above his head and thought, "Since you don't know where they are, why don't we go and take a look at the Xu Residence's entrance? As long as Lu Jinfeng and the others come over, we'll naturally see them."

After all, the Xu Residence was the final destination. No matter how many circles Lu Jinfeng and the others circled, they still had to return to the Xu Residence.

"Good idea. I didn't think of it before." Feng Lingxi clapped her hands. "Then let's hurry up and go. Don't not even see the crown prince enter."

The crown prince entered … His words sounded weird, as though he wanted Lu Jinfeng to marry into the Xu family.

Chen Mu glanced at the serious Feng Lingxi and thought for a moment before swallowing the words that were coming out of his mouth.

Lu Jinfeng was currently having an awkward relationship with her. She wasn't anyone on the same level as Lu Jinfeng, so why would she stand up for him when Feng Ling Si had asked him a few times?

Once the two of them made up their minds, Feng Ling Xi had a goal, which was to run. She then brought Chen Mu Mu and ran towards the goal.

Afterwards, Chen Mu Mu Mu discovered to her astonishment that she seemed to have high expectations for Feng Ling Xi.

Because Feng Lingxi … Take her directly out of the city gates.

After exiting the city, the corners of Chen Mu's mouth twitched as he stared at Feng Lingxiu, "Don't tell me that if we walk towards this place, we will reach the Xu Residence."

The Minister of Public Relations was a first rank official in the imperial court, so they naturally lived in the capital. Why would they come to the outskirts of the capital to visit the Xu Estate?

Wasn't there any common sense in bullying her?

"They really have to leave from here." Feng Lingxi met her gaze and rubbed her nose. "Lord Xu is indeed a high official in the imperial court. He usually lives in the capital, but his wife and son live in the mountains on the outskirts of the city."

Was there such a thing?

The bustling capital city was lively and convenient, but the people of the Xu family were not in the city, running all the way to the outskirts?

Could it be that he wanted to pluck the chrysanthemums under the fences and plow them himself?

When he first saw Xu Yanran, he did not see her as a hardworking labourer.

Knowing the doubt in Chen Mu Mu's heart, Feng Lingxiu spread out her arms. "It's useless to look at me. The people of the Xu family are mostly living in the outskirts of the city. I'm not from the Xu family, so I don't know what they're thinking."

Feng Ling'er had no way to explain it, and Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't force him either. However, the doubt in her heart only grew stronger.

After exiting the outskirts of the city, Chen Mu and Feng Ling Xi walked a long way up the mountain before they saw the manor located at the side of the mountain.

The two of them were panting heavily as they sat by the side of the road to rest.

"I never thought that the dignified residence of the Public Office's President would actually look like this." Chen Mu Mu Mu exclaimed, "It seems that he has been yearning for his rural life for a long time."

All the high-ranking officials in the capital would purchase a few mansions in private. However, they would not necessarily live there. They would only rent the mansions to someone else to farm and earn some money.

On the other hand, the Xu family lived here on their own and cultivated there on their own.

"Old Master Xu is indeed rather interesting." Although she did not like Xu Yanran, when she mentioned Master Xu, a hint of admiration flashed past her eyes, "If it wasn't for the inconvenience of going to the morning assembly every day, he would have come all the way here to stay."

Chen Mu Mu Mu smiled as he thought of the sight of Master Xu climbing up and down the mountain in his official uniform.

"It might not be a bad idea to have such fun."

An official who yearned for life in the fields wouldn't get too involved even if he were corrupt.

In other words, such an official should be part of the imperial government.

It was even rarer that he was in charge of the Department for Purging Officials.

Feng Lingxi looked deeply at her and rolled her eyes. Just as she was about to say something, the corner of her eyes twitched and she suddenly straightened her back.

"They're here."

Chen Mu Mu Mu looked in the direction of her gaze and saw a group of men rushing up the mountain, beating the gongs and drums.

"There are quite a few betrothal gifts." Feng Lingxi stroked her chin, "It's both red and drumming, it seems that the North King Palace pays a lot of attention to this marriage."

North King Palace shouldn't be as calm as it looks on the surface.

If she was not mistaken, North King's body should not be able to hold on for long, and North King's Consort Qiu Yuexin was not someone to be trifled with. Lu Jinfeng entering the North King Palace also carried a certain goal.

The Xu family was a big family, and being able to marry into the Xu family would definitely be a great boost to the North King's family.

It was just that he did not know whether this help would ultimately be given to the North King, Qiu Yuexin, or himself.

But no matter what, the Xu Residence wanted to capture this place. If they wanted to capture it, they would naturally have to be courteous.

"Chen Mu Mu." Feng Lingxi ridiculed him as she turned her head back, and she coldly said, "Seeing my lover treat their engagement like this, does my heart feel good?"

"He said he was my sworn brother." Chen Mu Mu Mu couldn't be bothered to argue with her and stood up. "They're already halfway up the mountain. Let's find a place to squat and watch the show."

Originally, there should have been many people coming to watch the marriage between the North King Palace and the Xu family, but the mountain road from the capital to the outskirts of the city was quite far. Furthermore, it was only a betrothal marriage, and there were also rumors of the curse of the North King's son.

People weren't afraid of watching the show, but people were afraid of their bad luck.

There were not many people like Feng Lingxi and Chen Mu who had the courage and perseverance to gossip.

"They walk so slowly." Chen Mu and Feng Ling Xi climbed up an old tree and looked down. They saw that the mountain road was rugged and the North King Palace's team was still far away. Why don't I take a nap and you can call for me when we get there? "

Chen Mu Mu found it a little funny. "We're on a tree now, are you sure you want to sleep? "I'm not that nimble. If something were to happen to you after you fall asleep, I won't be able to turn the tide."

"Crow's beak." Feng Lingxi snappily replied, "How could someone as smart and clever as me fall asleep on a tree? I was just taking a nap."

Is there a big difference between napping and sleeping? Didn't they just close their eyes and not know what happened next?

Chen Mu Mu Mu shook his head. He still wanted to give some reasoning to persuade Feng Ling Xi to be safer, but he suddenly saw Feng Ling Xi's gaze turn serious as she whispered, "What's going on?"

Chen Mu Mu Mu followed her line of sight and only saw a group of people coming up the winding mountain path. He asked in astonishment, "Why did you suddenly ask a question that scared me?"

"Crap." Feng Ling Xi's expression froze for a moment, her face looked exhausted, and said in shock: "Chen Mu Mu, I just saw a few people sneaking around the front of the North King Palace, do you think the people in the North King Palace will be in trouble?"

There were people ahead of the betrothal team, and they were still sneaking around. They were definitely not good people.

"I don't know." A strange light flashed in his eyes, "Let's go down and take a look."

Almost everyone in the capital knew that the heir of the North King Palace would be carrying gifts to the Xu family for the betrothal ceremony. Under normal circumstances, no one would obstruct his path, but there were people who blocked his path and brought ill intentions.

"Chen Mu Mu." Feng Lingxi grabbed her arm, "Are you sure you want to meddle in this matter? We were just there to watch the show. "

It was obvious that she was the one who pulled Lu Jinfeng over to watch the engagement with the Xu Family. Now that Lu Jinfeng might be in trouble, Feng Lingxi hesitated again.

Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu grumpily pulled her hand back, "You have to have guts to watch a show. Lu Jinfeng and the rest are in danger, how can we just watch without doing anything?"

Pausing for a moment, he said to the conflicted Feng Ling'er, "Let's go. At worst, if they can take control of the situation, we'll just pretend that we didn't see anything and just quietly be a bystander."

Feng Lingxi nodded and brought Chen Mu to the foot of the mountain.

The distance from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside was quite long, and it would take a long time to get there, but it would take a long time to get there.

However, even though Chen Mu and Feng Ling Xi's speeds were fast, when they arrived at the place where the Palace's troops were, the people from the North King Palace were already happily fighting with a group of black-clothed people.

The black clothed man's actions were fast and violent, the people in the North King Mansion were basically all used to cheer for him and to hold gifts, there were no experts there, they were basically chopped like vegetables by him.

Even though Lin Mo was nimble, he was still unable to stop the black-clothed men from crazily slaughtering the followers of the North King Palace.
