Rebirth of the Return of Chu

Walking into the yard, Mu Chu suddenly stopped, as if he had thought of something, and looked at Xiao Tao: "Xiao Tao, have you told the servant that I live in my uncle's house?"

Xiao Tao shook her head: "No, I didn't say that."

Mu Chu muttered to himself: "That's not right. Most people think I live in the Qin Mansion, and my uncle has only been in the capital for a short time. How do they know that we live in my uncle's house?"

Xiao Tao was puzzled: "What do you mean, young lady?"

Mu Chu's eyes lit up and he grabbed Xiao Tao's arm: "Xiao Tao, do you think he looks like a human being?"

Xiao Tao was so shocked that she didn't know what to do: "Who does she look like?"

Mu Chu said mysteriously, "Looks like my uncle."

Xiao Tao came back to her senses after she mentioned it: "Yes, Miss, I was thinking that too. The Second Young Master always wears white clothes, and so does he. His figure is similar to the Second Young Master's."

Xiao Tao finished speaking and shook her head again: "No, he looks different from the Second Young Master, and his voice is different too."

Mu Chu frowned and said, "Yeah, it doesn't look like a human being. Come on, follow me to my uncle's yard."

The two of them hurriedly walked towards Qin Yuanyi's yard.

As soon as he walked out the door, he met Qin Yuanyi. Qin Yuanyi looked at Mu Chu's hurried steps and said, "Chu'er, you're back? I was just about to pick you up, but you didn't come back until dark. Are you hungry? I asked someone to prepare food for you."

Mu Chu asked tentatively: "Is your uncle always at home?"

Qin Yuanyi nodded: "Yes, I have been waiting for you at home, what's wrong?"

Mu Chu asked, "Then why didn't you go into the palace today? I saw many ministers were there."

Qin Yuanyi replied casually: "I don't like this kind of occasion. I've asked the emperor for leave."

Mu Chu looked at him and thought that he was not lying. It seemed that he was just overthinking it.

So he excitedly pulled Qin Yuanyi's arm and walked into the house: "Uncle, let's not eat yet, come here quickly, I have something to tell you."

Xiaotao and Wang Xing were standing outside the door.

As soon as he entered, Mu Chu closed the door and said in a low voice, "Uncle, I have something urgent to tell you. There may be other people involved in my father's death. I met the Crown Princess when I was in the palace today. She asked me to go to the East Palace and told me some things. She accidentally heard her uncle Wang Jiarong talking about my father with an adult, and they talked about the letter."

After hearing this, Qin Yuanyi's originally calm face frowned, his eyes were as dark as night, and a low voice came out: "Chu'er, who is that person?"

Mu Chu shook his head: "She doesn't know him either, but I think she is telling the truth. She was raised in seclusion and trapped in the palace. It is normal for her not to know about the affairs of the officials.

There is one more thing, uncle, the eldest prince Li Wenyu has been found, and the emperor announced the eldest prince in a very high-profile manner at the imperial concubine’s birthday banquet today.

Qin Yuanyi didn't move at all after hearing this, his expression was still frowning as before. Mu Chu observed him carefully, wondering if he was really worrying too much. His uncle had nothing to do with the eldest prince.

While thinking, Qin Yuanyi said, "Chu'er, it's okay. Whether the eldest prince shows up or not has no impact on us. Our only goal is to seek justice for your father."

Mu Chu didn't think so. According to the fierce struggles for the throne among royal families in all dynasties, the princes would generally not be very harmonious, and the timing of the appearance of this eldest prince was too coincidental.

So he retorted: "Uncle, I don't think so. On the contrary, I think if we want to seek justice for our father, we can get along more with the eldest prince. I feel that the third prince has obvious hostility towards him, and we can take advantage of this."

Qin Yuanyi looked at Mu Chu, and a strange light flashed in his eyes, as if he was stunned or surprised. Then he said, "Chu'er, have you ever thought about this? If the first prince doesn't want to get involved in the disputes in the court, if we get close to him, the Wang family and the third prince may pay attention to us in advance. Remember not to act rashly."

Mu Chu nodded: "I know uncle, I know my limits, I know what to do, and today I asked the emperor in the palace to let me decide my own marriage, and the emperor agreed."

Qin Yuanyi pursed his lips, a faint smile appeared on his lips, and a little tenderness appeared in his bottomless pupils: "Chu'er, if you petition the emperor like this, aren't you afraid that the emperor will vent his anger on you? Or do you have a lover of your own?"

Mu Chu's eyes flashed, his eyes were a little dim, and he forced a smile: "Don't worry, uncle, I know what's going on. I only dared to mention it because I saw that the emperor was not angry. I think everyone should grasp their own destiny and not miss every opportunity. Many things will never come back after they are lost. So, I just want to take a gamble.

But I have never thought about getting married. If I had a choice, I would like to stay with my uncle in the general's mansion for the rest of my life."

Qin Yuanyi looked at Mu Chu steadily, then said seriously: "Okay, uncle will let you be willful for once."

Mu Chu felt that the topic was too serious, so he joked: "Then you will have to waste a lot of uncle's food, and I hope uncle won't feel bad about it."

Qin Yuanyi shook his head helplessly: "Girl, I really can't do anything with you. I guess the old lady must have made things difficult for you, right?"

Mu Chu looked out the window, looking at the starry sky and said, "I only care about Mingyue. Why should I care about her? It doesn't matter if she is angry. Don't I have my uncle to protect me? Now, I am also free. I don't care whether I have any contact with them or not. But you, uncle, I will rely on you to protect me in the future. I wonder if you are mentally prepared?"

Qin Yuanyi was slightly stunned, then changed his expression to a solemn one: "Don't worry, I have already promised your father."

Mu Chu then asked: "If my father hadn't entrusted me, would my uncle still take care of me?"

Qin Yuanyi nodded: "Yes."
