C39 It's Better than Losing Your Life

This first line directly provoked Jiang Zisu's point of explosion. Just as he was about to reject it, Mu Zhihuan said the second line:

"Secondly, I want the right to leave the clan freely."

Jiang Zi Su's face darkened. "Second, I can promise you that. But don't forget whose mansion this first place belongs to!"

With this threat again, Mu Zhihuan rolled her eyes. "Jiang Zisu, have you forgotten that you're the one begging me to go back?" Today, you can't defeat Gu Mingxuan, so you can't bring me back. "

"Once you leave, I'll immediately get someone to spread the news that I'm going to stay in Gu Mingxuan's estate for the time being. I'll see if my own wangfei lives in someone else's. I'll see how you, Jiang Zisu, can hide your face!"

"How dare you!" Su Qian let out a loud cry. His face was so dark that it looked as if water was about to drip out of it.

"Mu Zhihuan, as a woman who already has a family and lives in a man's house that hasn't even gotten married, do you still have any sense of shame?"

"Shameless?" Mu Zhihuan sneered as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world. "That's still better than losing your life."

After pausing for a moment, Mu Zhihuan suddenly became so angry that she started laughing, "Jiang ZiSu, you started roaring at me arrogantly the moment you arrived. Have you ever cared why your son didn't appear? Have you ever wondered why I suddenly disappeared?"

At this moment, Mu Zhihuan's expression was one that Jiang ZiSu had never seen before. She was clearly smiling, but her eyes were filled with bitterness.

Previously, when he had disliked her, she had only revealed her pain and grief. Later on, Mu Zhihuan's face had always been sunny.

Even when they had confronted each other, they were still clear and bright. However, this time, Mu Zhihuan's eyes were unexpectedly dark and gloomy.

Jiang Zisu knew that this was an expression of utter disappointment.

Mu Zhihuan was disappointed in him?

His heart felt like it had been stuffed with lead. It was heavy and made him irritable. "I sent people to look for him, but …"

"Forget it!" Mu Zhihuan did not want to hear it at all. "There's no point in talking any further. Jiang Zisu, do you agree or not with the previous condition?"

Looking at his expression, Mu Zhihuan could tell that he had never thought about it. He might even be silently cursing her for coming out to cause trouble.

How blind was his previous self to fancy such a rotten and thorough man?

Jiang ZiSu stared at Mu Zhihuan. After a long while, he finally squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "I promise you."

Mu Zhihuan did not waste any words, "Alright, Mo Yi, bring Ran Er over."

A furry head popped out of the door and saw Jiang Zisu.

The petite face trembled in fright as she hurriedly ran behind Mu Zhihuan in two steps and hid herself.

He didn't expect Jiang Qing Ran to be so afraid of him. Jiang Zi Su's face fell once again.

Mu Zhihuan pretended not to see this. She had given Jiang Zisu a chance to be a good father, and that was something that he did not cherish.

Holding up the small ball, Mu Zhihuan looked at Gu Mingxuan apologetically, "I've troubled you these past few days."

"No problem, just a simple move."

Gu Mingxuan had said the same thing the first time they had met. He had thought that Gu Mingxuan was cold and detached.

Now, even after so much time had passed, he still said the same words to help her. However, Mu Zhihuan understood that this was Gu Mingxuan's unique gentleness.

Mu Zhihuan pursed her lips as a hint of ridicule appeared in her eyes. "You sure have a lot of hands."

Gu Mingxuan's grave and stern face had a chapped expression, and the light in his eyes seemed to have warmed a little. "Then I'll take it as a compliment."

The two of them looked at each other in front of their eyes. Jiang Zi Su Qi was gnashing her teeth. If she hadn't known that she was in Gu Mingxuan's house, she would have broken out in rage.

Although he didn't understand what was going on, he understood that he was going to be taken back when he saw Jiang Zisu.

Her small mouth curled into a scowl, as if she was unwilling to part with him. "Uncle Gu …" "Can Ran Er still play with you?"

The teary light in Gu Mingxuan's clear eyes made his heart soften. He rubbed his little head and said softly, "Of course, I'll be waiting for you anytime."

The little blob's eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed down again. "Hmm …" But I can't find the way … "

"This is for you."

Gu Mingxuan took out a small bamboo flute. "When you go back, tell your mother to take a red rope and run away, hanging it around your neck. If you want to find me, I'll come pick you up after you blow on it."

"Really?" The little blob stared at the copper bell with wide eyes. It was obvious that he was overjoyed.

Mu Zhihuan did not try to stop him. If this situation happened again, with Gu Mingxuan around, she would feel a lot more at ease. "Thank you, then we won't disturb you any longer."

In the carriage, Jiang ZiSu's face darkened, "Now, can you tell me where you're going?"

Mu Zhihuan cast a glance at him and mocked, "Where are you going? You can't ask me this, you should ask the person who took me away. "

"You said that Ruo'er, he …" For the first time, Jiang ZiSu realized that he actually felt a little guilty in front of Mu Zhihuan.

It was true that Mu Zhihuan's accusation had all been a lie. If he hadn't discovered that Mu Zhihuan had disappeared, Jiang Qing wouldn't have been so helpless as to go out and find someone else for help.

"He's fine. He just experienced being chased by dogs, being scared by beggars, and then sleeping by the roadside."

"Prince, you don't have to worry. Re'er is a strong child, and it won't be long before he forgets about all this. But he already knows who he should ask for help when he encounters danger."

Mu Zhihuan's tone was very calm, but in Jiang Zisu's ears, it was exceptionally ear-piercing.

"I will thoroughly investigate this matter."

Mu Zhihuan shrugged, displaying an indifferent expression. "Then, I'll have to thank Your Highness."

"Do you have to talk to me like that?"

Mu Zhihuan threw him a supercilious look before turning her head towards the window. She really couldn't be bothered to say another word to a person like Jiang Zhisu.

Such a straightforward rejection made Jiang Zisu restless. He did not understand why he had been so agitated ever since he had found out that Mu Zhihuan had disappeared.

Why was it that after seeing her safe and sound, she felt as if a stone had dropped from her heart?

He didn't even understand why he always lost every time he fought against Mu Zhihuan.

When the three of them returned to the manor, Seventh Madame was the first one to rush over.

When she saw Mu Zhihuan and the little bun safe and sound, her eyes reddened and tears began to fall from her eyes.

"Royal Consort … Heir... You're finally back. "

"Sorry, Seventh Madame, I made you worry."

"It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back."

Seventh Madame wiped away her tears as she glanced at the sleeping ball in Mu Zhihuan's arms. She had finally relaxed after so many days.

"Seventh Madame, I'm tired. Let's go back and rest."

Jiang Zisu stood in the distance and watched this scene with a cold expression on his face.

When Yang Qiuyu came out, she brushed shoulders with Mu Zhihuan.
