"What did you say?" Mu Niancheng thought she was talking about Mu Huarong and sneered, "What could possibly happen to her? Itâs already good enough if she doesnât harm others."
"Young Master, I wasnât talking about our Miss, I meant Miss Huaâen. Miss Huaâen has returned to the capital..."
Cuiâer didnât hide anything and revealed Mu Huarongâs plan.
"Bang..." The medicine bottles toppled all over the ground.
Mu Niancheng was obviously infuriated, "Nonsense, sheâs simply beyond redemption."
"Young Master, please think of a way. The Second Young Lady cannot go to the mountains." Cuiâer was genuinely sympathetic, feeling sorry for the Second Young Lady who was already pitiful enough after being disfigured, and it would be too tragic if she were sent to a place never to see the light of day again.
So she took the opportunity while the Eldest Miss was asleep to sneak out.
She initially intended to inform the Second Young Lady, but as a maid, she couldnât leave the mansion in the dead of night, so she ultimately decided to find Mu Niancheng.
The Young Master was already aware of the matters between the two young ladies, so finding him was surely the right choice.
"I will handle this matter," Mu Niancheng waved his hand for her to rise, "You go back first. Be careful, and if your master loses her mind, come find me."
"Yes, thank you, Young Master."
Cuiâer was overjoyed, fearing most that Eldest Miss would find out what she had done.
The Eldest Miss detested betrayal. If she found out, she might even take Cuiâerâs life, but now with the Young Masterâs assurance, it meant he would protect her life.
After Cuiâer left, only the master and servant remained by the medicine stove. Mu Nianchengâs originally cold expression became even more severe, "I didnât expect she had become so ruthless."
"Bang... I didnât expect that you knew everything and could still sit at home researching all sorts of things."
Just as they were speaking, the door was kicked open from the outside.
Mu Niancheng was about to get angry when he turned around and saw a familiar face, greatly surprised, "Brother Haoyang? Why are you here?" And so quietly too.
Mu Nianchengâs guards were wondering how skilled Young Master Ye Er was to make absolutely no sound.
Although there were secret guards around the master, even they hadnât detected him?
As if knowing what they thought, two thuds of objects falling sounded outside.
"If I hadnât come, how could I have heard such astonishing words?"
Evidently, he had heard all of what Cuiâer and Mu Niancheng had said earlier.
Mu Nianchengâs face turned slightly pale, awkwardly saying, "You heard it all?"
"Yes, I heard everything." Ye Haoyangâs face was very grim, his sharp eyes fixed on Mu Niancheng as if wanting to pierce through him.
"I originally came to ask you, as an elder brother, if you noticed anything amiss, but ended up overhearing something so sensational, and you knew all along."
At this point, Ye Haoyang stepped forward two steps and unexpectedly threw a punch.
Feeling one punch wasnât enough, he continued to swing his fists.
He punched Mu Niancheng directly into the medicine shelves, causing the entire shelf to topple.
Mu Nianchengâs guards tried to stop Ye Haoyang, but they were kicked away by him.
"All of you, get out of here." Seeing the guards trying to approach again, Mu Niancheng waved them away, accepting the beating.
Ye Haoyang snorted coldly, continuing to swing his fists, "Today, no one can stop me. Mu Niancheng, youâre quite bold, daring to hide this from me? Do you think Iâm an idiot?"
"Brother, my own brother, I didnât want to either." Mu Niancheng wiped the corner of his mouth.
