Chapter 29 Kind People
"Is everything cleaned up?"
Mu Changming slowly emerged from the shadows.
"Rest assured, sir, everything has been taken care of; not a single grain was wasted!"
"Okay!" Mu Changming nodded, admiring the blooming flowerbed in front of him by the moonlight. "Look, what beautiful flowers!"
Seeing that Mu Changming seemed to be in a good mood, the steward continued, "Master, this afternoon, when most of the manor's staff went to prepare the medicinal herbs, two women took the opportunity to escape."
"But don't worry, sir, they'll be dealt with quickly."
"But later, that man surnamed Shen seemed to have heard a strange noise and came over to take a look."
"Oh?" A fierce glint flashed in Mu Changming's eyes, and the sudden chilling look in his eyes made the butler opposite him tremble.
"Did he see it?"
"They probably didn't see anything. I told them that some troublemakers knew our Mu family was collecting medicinal herbs, and they tried to cause trouble by selling inferior products, so they were driven out."
"I suppose he didn't think much of it."
"Want to come? You think you can guess?" She glanced back at the butler, her displeasure evident in her eyes.
It was both dissatisfaction with his incompetence and dissatisfaction with the fact that he was only reporting now.
Being incompetent is one thing, but having ulterior motives is another.
Just that one glance made the butler tremble with fear, lest he be buried in it too.
Then Mu Changming quietly said, "We must keep this guy surnamed Shen under control and not let him find out."
"Yes, yes, this old servant will keep a close watch and will not let him notice anything unusual."
At this point, Butler Mu couldn't help but ask, "Master, shouldn't we just take action? He's just a wandering swordsman."
"A wandering swordsman?" He looked at the steward with annoyance, feeling as if he couldn't explain ice to a summer insect.
No wonder I'm the master and you're the steward; even if you were given a real chance, you wouldn't be of any use.
"Have you ever seen a wandering martial artist who can casually produce tens of thousands of taels of silver? Have you ever seen a young wandering martial artist with extraordinary martial arts skills?"
"Let's take another look, no rush."
"A yang-attribute physique, huh? I've never seen one like it in all these years."
"So regardless of whether he's a wandering swordsman or not, I'm determined to have him. Qingyin has given me a really big gift this time!"
Looking into the distance, Mu Changming said coldly, "You mean those bandits? He didn't notice, did he?"
"Don't worry, sir. Even those bandits themselves don't know what's going on; they genuinely believe they're robbing. How could he possibly be?"
"When the young lady was handling business in Linshui City, it was Old Fan who accidentally discovered her special physique, which is why he came up with this idea on the spur of the moment."
"Old Fan and Miss have been working together seamlessly all these years. That guy surnamed Shen probably still thinks he's the hero who saved the damsel in distress."
"According to Lao Fan, he has been stealing glances at the young lady quite a bit along the way, which shows he's just another hypocrite."
"Feigning innocence is good, but lust is a double-edged sword!"
With a smile, Mu Changming said meaningfully, "Hero saves the beauty, beauty repays him with her body—how many people could resist such a scenario when it comes to real life?"
"What you say is true, sir. When has the young lady ever made a mistake? As long as she makes a slight move, he will surely fall for her and be unable to extricate himself."
"Qingyin will have to work hard again this time!" Nodding, Mu Changming then reminded her, "Tell her to remember to apply Mu Huanxiang these next two days."
"Once this man surnamed Shen takes the Worry-Free Pill, I don't believe he can control himself."
"Tell me, what kind of person gets restless and irritable as soon as they are not seen, unable to calm down for a long time, and even becomes agitated when practicing martial arts? Only seeing them can calm their emotions and soothe their irritability."
"Only when you like someone would you act like this. This is the feeling of love, butler, don't you agree?"
"Young people don't understand what love is; the housekeeper shouldn't forget to remind them!"
"This old servant understands!" the butler replied hastily, and then immediately added.
"I will cooperate with Miss and make sure that man surnamed Shen knows that he has met his true love."
"Very well, it seems I'll have to play the strict father who breaks up the couple again."
With a gentle smile, Mu Changming gazed leisurely into the distance.
"Give Qingyin another Worry-Free Pill, and say that she stole it for her savior, to add fuel to the fire in his heart."
"I don't believe he can control himself after taking three Worry-Free Pills."
"Young man, you're like dry wood meeting a raging fire. In the end, for the sake of that so-called love, he'll not only have to obediently serve the Mu family, but he'll also have to sacrifice himself."
"Love is such a wonderful thing. How can it make so many people throw themselves into it?"
"Hahaha!" He couldn't help but laugh when he thought about the wonderful future.
His physique possessed a Yang attribute, and it was definitely a superior physique, which made him quite impatient.
Whether he is truly a wandering swordsman or not is no longer important. Once he gets involved in so-called love, he will spill all his secrets.
He was very confident in his beloved daughter in this regard.
A fierce glint flashed in his eyes. Even if they ultimately failed, the secret of the Worry-Free Pill must not be revealed.
"Also, butler, remember to keep a close eye on him and make sure he doesn't actually take those medicinal herbs. They're just for show."
"Don't worry, sir. I've had people keeping an eye on him. He hasn't left the Mu family's residence during this time."
"During that time, the man surnamed Shen went to the warehouse twice, and each time he came out empty-handed, without taking anything."
"Furthermore, no one has come to take over these medicinal herbs, so they should still be stored in the warehouse."
"Good, very good!" Nodding in satisfaction, Mu Changming finally felt relieved. "As long as the medicinal herbs are still in my Mu family, they are still in my Mu family."
"I don't know what this person wants so many medicinal herbs for, but it doesn't matter."
"In the end, I will still get these goods back, but I absolutely cannot return the money."
"Butler, what should I do, sir? I'm in a real bind!"
Shaking his head, Mu Changming said, "By the way, those newly sent women should be properly educated, lest they have any other ideas."
"I don't want the same thing to happen again!"
"Yes, yes!" Upon hearing this, Steward Mu tensed up instantly.
Although their master looks kind now, he shows no mercy when he gets down to business.
A casual remark already revealed extreme dissatisfaction with him; the Mu family doesn't tolerate people who lack discernment.
"Go!" Butler Chong waved his hand, and then Mu Changming looked at the flower field again before turning to leave.
As night fell, Shen Che's figure slowly emerged from the corner.
I casually picked a flower and smelled it, then rummaged around under the flowerbed. With a little digging, I could feel some bones.
Flowers grown by humans still bloom so beautifully.
With just a slight sniff, he could tell that this was one of the main ingredients of the Worry-Free Pill.
This sea of flowers is in full bloom, and beside each flower, it seems as if someone is weeping silently.
The Mu family is truly a kind and virtuous family!
Looking towards the direction of Butler Mu in the distance, Shen Che then disappeared back into the shadows and quickly caught up with him.
