After half a month of travel, Mu Yunzhou finally arrived in Connecticut.

After a dusty journey, Mu Yunzhou entered Yucheng, the capital of Kangzhou, and knocked on the door of the Lin family. Although he was exhausted from the long journey, he still cheered up.

Not to mention how hard it was during the past half month, Mu Yunzhou seldom traveled in such a hurry, and his body was somewhat unable to bear it. In addition, the affairs of the Mu family, the death of both his parents was a great blow to Mu Yunzhou, and coupled with the hardships of traveling, Mu Yunzhou, who was usually as strong as an ox, fell ill as soon as he arrived at the Lin Mansion.

Mu Yunzhou's uncle Lin Mengli received a letter from his sister and knew that his nephew was coming, so he sent someone to arrange the yard early.

They were arranged in the guest house on the east side. Lin Mengli was very surprised to see such a nephew. The man who used to be a young master of a noble family now looked very haggard, and the young boy's former unruly nature seemed to no longer exist.

The other members of the Lin family were puzzled as to why Mu Yunzhou came all the way to Connecticut.

Did something happen to the Mu family in the capital? How did it suddenly become like this? Old Lady Lin quickly sent people to investigate. The family waited nervously for news, fearing that something bad would happen to Prime Minister Mu's family.

But the news brought back by the servants shocked everyone. They heard that people outside were saying that Prime Minister Mu's family had colluded with the enemy and committed suicide in prison out of fear of punishment. Except for Mu Yunzhou who was still alive, everyone else was dead.

The Lin family members immediately understood why Mu Yunzhou had become like this, but Old Lady Lin was calmer than everyone else. The people she sent out brought back not only the news that Mu Yunzhou was the only son left in the Mu family, but also that the emperor had not stripped the prime minister and his children of their official positions, nor had he revoked the imperial edicts of the female members of the Mu family.

The Mu family did not confiscate their property, let alone exterminate all nine generations of their clan. The Lin family did not even receive any news at all. This means that the Mu family is conspiring with the emperor about some big plan, but it is not convenient for them to appear in front of everyone now.

But Old Lady Lin could never understand why Mu Yunzhou was the only orphan left in the Mu family?

She didn't know why her daughter's family hid the news that they were still alive from Mu Yunzhou, but when she thought about her grandson who always looked so stupid, she understood why her daughter and son-in-law were unwilling to tell Mu Yunzhou about the plan. If they told Mu Yunzhou, their plan would definitely not go through.

Lin Mengli was still thinking about what happened and why he couldn't let Mu Yunzhou know, when he received a letter from Lin Mengping.

After reading the letter, the Lin family members said that they were living well now, and they were not missing any limbs. The rumors outside were all plots by Prime Minister Mu and the emperor. They also asked the Lin family members not to follow Mu Yunzhou to the capital, so as not to alert the enemy. They should send Mu Yunzhou back to the capital as soon as possible to complete his studies, so that he could take this opportunity to grow up and pass the imperial examination. After all, he had a lot of responsibilities now, and the Mu family wanted to take this opportunity to help him grow up. They also said a lot of things, such as they were old and could not protect him all his life, and he could not just be a child forever.

Although the letter did not say a lot, Lin Mengli roughly understood what Lin Mengping meant and knew what to do. He immediately asked the housekeeper to prepare some silver for backup and ordered the servants to be cruel to Mu Yunzhou when the time came. The housekeeper did not know why the head of the family still treated Mr. Mu, who was once very favored, like this when the Mu family had become like this.

What a miserable cousin.

The housekeeper was worried and asked again: "Master, do we really want to do this? I don't know if the young master can withstand such a stimulus in his current condition. You are his only hope now, and his body is not well yet."

Lin Mengli was helpless: "I have no choice. The Mu family is guilty of treason. If the emperor blames us, our whole family will be beheaded. Compared with this, it's almost worse for him. At least he can survive. He has to grow up anyway. How can he grow up without going through some things?"

After hearing this, the housekeeper hurried to prepare some silver. Compared to his own life, he would just prepare some more silver for Mu Yunzhou. At least he wouldn't have to die. The head of the family had already said so, so how could he, a servant, get involved?

After resting for a few days, Mu Yunzhou prepared to persuade Lin Mengli to help him investigate the case and find the murderer.

When the servant saw Mu Yunzhou was on the way, he quickly went to find Lin Mengli, but Lin Mengli said, "Don't worry about it today. Go and tell the young master that I'm not at home and will be back tomorrow."

The servant went back to tell Mu Yunzhou that the master of the house was not at home today, as he had gone out on something and would be back tomorrow.

Lin Mengli thought that his nephew would come to him for help as soon as he recovered from his illness. Although this child was not ambitious and not as smart as others, he was at least filial and had a good heart.

Lin Mengli really couldn't think of anything to say that would make his nephew give up asking him for help. He couldn't say anything too cold-blooded and hurtful. He also couldn't bear to give up this nephew who he had spoiled since childhood.

He hid in the yard all day and didn't go out, and went to bed early as soon as it got dark.

When Mu Yunzhou heard the servants say that Lin Mengli was not at home, he wondered if his uncle had gone to help him investigate the case.

Such a big thing happening in the Mu family in the capital should have been reported here a long time ago. According to the attitude of everyone in the Lin family towards their mother, the grandmother loved her mother the most and would definitely help. Mu Yunzhou also went to sleep after finishing his meal with a broad mind.
