But their lack of urgency was driving Mu Shaoling crazy, as he hoped to get the item within these two days and immediately return to the Capital City. Wasnāt there still a problem waiting for him to solve in the city?
So for the next two or three days, wherever Ye Ziāan went, Mu Shaoling would follow. Whenever Ye Ziāan stopped and had nothing else in hand, Mu Shaoling would undoubtedly ask about that certain object.
Finally, Yang Chuxia couldnāt stand it anymore.
She pulled Ye Ziāan aside, and shouted at Mu Shaoling, "Hey, do you ever let up? How would Brother An know about that thing youāre looking for? The key is, you keep asking Ye Ziāan for something, but you never say what exactly it is. If you donāt tell, how the hell are we supposed to know? And, most importantly, even if Ye Ziāanās mother was a concubine of the Luo Family, what does it have to do with you? Youāre a Mu, sheās a Luo, why are you so concerned about it? Also, if Ye Ziāan does have something to hand over, it wouldnāt be to you, right?"
Mu Shaoling was somewhat taken aback by her questions, and even more, he was in a dilemma because he didnāt know what exactly he was looking for.
The incident years ago was arranged by the old master of the Luo family. The old master had suddenly fallen ill and died a few years after his eldest daughter passed away. As for what he handed over back then, he didnāt have time to explain.
As for why he was the one to retrieve the object, that was easy to explain.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "The man you met last time is the son of Luo Familyās eldest daughter!"
Mu Shaoling was talking about the young master in white at the Mu Residence, and upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia and Ye Ziāan suddenly understood.
"Iāve been looking for people and helping him find things on his behalf for all these years."
Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia snorted coldly. She had always thought that the young master in white seemed like a smiling tiger, and he exuded a sense of distance from his bones. So, not only was he a member of the imperial family, but he also had this connection with Ye Ziāan.
Therefore, she mockingly asked, "Eldest daughter of the Luo Family is the legitimate daughter, right?"
Mu Shaoling didnāt know why Yang Chuxia asked this but still nodded his head.
Yang Chuxia sneered in her heart. No wonder, if the legitimate mother could marry Ye Ziāanās mother off to a swindler back then, she must be a nasty person. Looking at it now, her daughter, the princess, was probably no better.
Thinking deeper, Baili Yan must be the same. Otherwise, he would have done something else to comfort or console Ye Ziāan now that he knew Ye Ziāan was his cousin, instead of just asking Mu Shaoling to get the thing from Ye Ziāan.
Ye Ziāan listened to Yang Chuxiaās inquiries without even moving his eyebrows, as if all these things had nothing to do with him.
This almost drove Mu Shaoling mad.
Seeing Mu Shaolingās anxious state, Ye Ziāan snorted coldly, "Young Master Mu, if you want something from me, shouldnāt you describe what that thing looks like?"
Mu Shaoling widened his eyes, "Iām the one asking you for something, but you want me to describe it for you?"
Yang Chuxia exchanged a glance with Ye Ziāan and said in a half-mocking tone, "Are you telling me, Young Master Mu, that you donāt even know what youāre looking for?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Shaoling paused, and Yang Chuxia could tell it was true.
She couldnāt help but burst into laughter.
"You guys are so funny! You donāt even know what youāre looking for and you come to ask others for it. What were you thinking, Young Master Mu?"
A faint smile appeared on Ye Ziāanās lips as well.
Mu Shaoling became angry again, "What do you know? The matter back then was arranged by the old Luo Family master, and only the head of the Luo Family would know about that object."
