Just as Mu Yunzhou was racking his brains to find words to praise his brave and invincible fighting cock, an inappropriate voice came from the side.

"Young Master Mu, how come you still have the leisure time to watch cockfighting?" Several young men in luxurious clothes looked at Mu Yunzhou jokingly.

"What's it got to do with you?" Mu Yunzhou glanced at them and didn't bother to pay attention.

Seeing that Mu Yunzhou ignored them, a few people started chatting among themselves, and from time to time they deliberately raised their voices so that the people on Mu Yunzhou's side could hear.

"Master Mu, I heard that your father and mother were both thrown into jail. Is this true?"

"Master Wang, you are asking even though you already know the answer. It seems that your uncle arrested the person."

"Look at me, I have a bad memory. I forgot it, hahahaha."

"Your father is already old and has been thrown into jail. You are such an unfilial son. Now you don't even think about how to rescue your father, but you come here to fight cocks. Tsk tsk tsk..."

"Master Mu, there's nothing we can do about it. I heard that Prime Minister Mu was arrested for treason."

"Collaborating with the enemy and treason is a capital crime. Prime Minister Mu is in great danger this time."

"Will Master Mu be implicated and beheaded in the future?"

"I don't know about that. Exile is inevitable..."

"But I heard that if you collaborate with the enemy and betray your country, all your family members will be beheaded as a warning."

"Seriously?"

"Then Master Mu is very miserable?"

"That's right. Even if the cockfight wins, it will lose its life in the future."

"Have some fun before you die."

"This Master Mu, he must be very happy to have won the cockfight, and he even brought a girl to show off."

These young masters who were making sarcastic remarks were the ones who had lost the cockfighting match against Mu Yunzhou. Because they were dissatisfied with the loss, they began to make sarcastic remarks.

"All of you shut up. Prime Minister Mu would never collaborate with the enemy and commit treason." Shen Qingxu shouted, but his voice had no deterrent power at all.

"Besides a few verbal naggings, what can you do to me?" Mu Yunzhou looked at the person opposite him with disdain, and then said, "You are a loser who can't even beat this young master in a fighting cock, and you dare to mock me in front of me?"

"Why, haven't you been beaten enough by me?"

"Want to try if my fist is as hard as your mouth?"

Mu Yunzhou looked at the person opposite him with contempt.

When the few people saw that Mu Yunzhou actually talked back, they knew they couldn't win the argument with Mu Yunzhou, so they winked at the little girl next to them and tried to tease her.

"Where did this little girl come from? She actually defended Mu Yunzhou."

"She is wearing a veil and dares not show her true face. Is she a girl from some brothel?"

"Hahahahaha!"

"Or maybe he's so ugly that he can't see anyone and wears a veil."

"If you want to die, say a few more words." Mu Yunzhou clenched his fists.

"Shut up, don't say anymore." Shen Qingxu looked at the people opposite and glared at them.

"Hey, hey, hey, we're talking about a little girl, why are you so excited? Could it be that you two are really having an affair, but you don't dare to see anyone, so you sneaked to this cockfighting arena to have a tryst?"

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that the eldest young master of the Mu family actually likes to steal..."

Mu Yunzhou walked up holding a folding fan. When several young masters saw Mu Yunzhou coming up, they were worried that they had no place to vent their anger, so they used their moves to confront him. After a while, a group of people started fighting.

Some people who wanted to watch the fight didn't step up to stop the fight, but just shouted from the side.

Those who were fighting with Mu Yunzhou were all famous playboys in the capital. The onlookers did not dare to come up to stop them. They saw five of them beating one, their moves were powerful and they did not hold back. If Mu Yunzhou was not good at kung fu, he would have been beaten to death by this group of people.

Mu Yunzhou did not lose in the beating by a group of people, but Shen Qingxu usually regarded himself as Mu Yunzhou's good friend, so how could she let Mu Yunzhou fight alone?

So he took a whip from the cockfighting arena nearby and went over to help.

With the joining of Shen Qingxu, the people brought by the young masters also joined the battlefield one after another.

For a while, the sounds of fighting in the cockfighting arena were endless, and the noise was even louder.

When Qingfang and Mengyi came out, they saw this chaotic scene.

The fighting cocks were still running around in the yard, and the people in the cockfighting arena were chasing the flying cocks. A bunch of people were lying on the ground, holding their waists and legs, crying out in pain.

Mu Yunzhou squatted on the ground and looked at the crushed chicken howling like a ghost. Shen Qingxu looked embarrassed. She patted Mu Yunzhou's shoulder comfortingly and advised him not to be sad.

"Well, a dead chicken cannot be resurrected..."

Mu Yunzhou ignored her words and continued to mourn over his dead chicken.

"Ancestor..." Qingfang handed the things that Shen Qingxu had picked to Yilan, and went forward to check if Shen Qingxu was injured.

Shen Qingxu was just breathing heavily and had no injuries on her body. The delicate veil had fallen to the ground a long time ago and was badly damaged by the fight and trampling.

After Qingfang paid the money she was owed, Shen Qingxu, with an embarrassed look on her face, and Mu Yunzhou, who was extremely sad, entered the lounge amid the wailing and cursing of the young master's servants.

"Okay, Mu Yunzhou, stop howling!" Shen Qingxu took a deep breath, "It's just a dead chicken."

"Shen Qingxu, do you still have a conscience? In your eyes, it's just a dead chicken. Do you know that this chicken is a fighting cock that I have raised for two years?"

"Then there's nothing we can do about it!"

"I clearly reminded you not to sit down, but you didn't listen. You said you wanted to take a break, and then you sat on the chicken coop and crushed my chickens..."

"How could I know this chicken coop was so fragile..."

"You're still looking for excuses... You're so fat, and he's so weak, how can he withstand your pressure!" Mu Yunzhou's eyes turned red, "Wuwuwuwu..."

"I, I really lost to you." Shen Qingxu looked at Mu Yunzhou speechlessly, "Are you crying just because of a chicken?"

"It's not because of this, wuwuwu..."

"What's that for?"

"Because my parents were arrested and thrown into jail by your sister, and you killed my fighting cock, are you killing the chicken to scare the monkey?" Mu Yunzhou cried even more sadly, not knowing what he was thinking. "Oh, I know, your sister wants to kill me? So she sent you to kill my chicken?"

Shen Qingxu looked at Mu Yunzhou in confusion as his expression changed so quickly. Why was he crying for a chicken just now, and now he was crying for his parents who were thrown into jail? Her brain really couldn't keep up with him.

And you said that killing the chicken was to warn him?

"Then I'll go ask your sister and brother-in-law what they think, how about that?"

"No, no need to go. They told me not to worry about anything and just stay at home." Mu Yunzhou said with his head down.

"Then why are you crying? What does it look like for a grown man to cry like that?" Shen Qingxu rolled her eyes. She didn't know why Mu Yunzhou was crying.

"Young master, please give me the fighting cock." Yuanbao came in holding a basin stand and a handkerchief.

"No."

"Sir, give it to me. This fighting cock has been squashed and the chicken droppings have all flowed out. This heroic commander loves to eat dogwood, which is found in chicken droppings. If you hold it and it touches your eyes, your eyes will hurt and you will cry."

Mu Yunzhou took the wet towel that Yuanbao brought, threw the chicken to Yuanbao, and then began to wipe his eyes.

Qingfang looked at Mu Yunzhou wiping his eyes with a handkerchief while Shen Qingxu stood beside him. This scene seemed strange.

Meng Yi took advantage of Shen Qingxu and Mu Yunzhou's rest to prepare a few more clothes and veils, and brought them to Shen Qingxu and said softly: "The money given by the princess is too much, I feel bad, so I specially took a few more clothes, I hope the princess will not despise it."

Mu Yunzhou looked up and ignored it because it had nothing to do with him and it was just some girls' stuff. He was immersed in the feeling of loss and continued to wiping his eyes.

"I'm so sorry. Boss Mengyi's embroidery is exquisite. These clothes must be priceless. Please don't give me so many."

"The princess has paid, so of course I have to get enough goods. I still have to follow the rule of payment of money and goods." Meng Yi said with a smile.

Shen Qingxu nodded in agreement. Qingfang took the thing and opened the lid. This look further confirmed her guess.

The clothes in the basket were all the colors and styles that Shen Qingxu usually liked. It turned out that Meng Yi came prepared.
