shuhaige. net Chapter 491: Life and Death Are in My Hands

Is this person Young Master Jin? The princess's husband?

How can he look so young?!

This couple is really impressive.

Gu Rongjin patted his son's shoulder, signaling him to come over.

Mu Yumo nodded.

"Kid, no matter what you do in Jingcheng, you can't escape my eyes; there are my spies everywhere here. You're like a poor moth that's flown into a spider's web, with nowhere to run—I advise you to be sensible." Gu Rongjin said.

Fei Yi stared at Gu Rongjin, pressed her lips tight, and after a long while still said the same thing: "Take me to see my sister!"

"Sure, no problem."

"Dad!"

"Why won't you let them see their sister?"

"Isn't that scaring the snake by beating the grass?"

"So you're afraid of scaring the snake by beating the grass, huh?" Gu Rongjin gave Mu Yumo a meaningful look: "Dad thought you were interested in her."

"What nonsense are you spouting?!" Mu Yumo's face turned red all at once.

He valued her because he thought Yi Fei was very capable, kind, gentle, and good-natured, so he took extra care of her.

These days...

He only hoped that everything was just a misunderstanding, and that she concealed her identity merely to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Your face is red?! Are you really hitting on my sister?!" Fei Yi instantly raised her voice.

Mu Yumo widened his eyes: "Shut up!"

His emotions easily show on his face—does a flushed face mean anything?!

Upon hearing Fei Yi's words, Gu Rongjin also looked at his son with an inquisitive gaze.

Come on, his son can't be that clueless!

"Dad, what kind of look is that?!"

I'm really impressed.

Gu Rongjin said: "Alright, let's first take this young master Fei Yi to see his sister."

"Okay..." Mu Yumo had no choice but to agree first.

The three of them arrived at the cottage; Gu Rongjin stepped ahead of the two juniors and went to knock on the door.

"Who's there?"

A gentle female voice came from Yi Fei's room.

Fei Yi was about to speak when Mu Yumo clapped a hand over her mouth, and she could only make muffled whimpering sounds.

"It's me, Miss Yi Fei." Mu Yumo replied.

The door creaked open, and Yi Fei saw three people standing outside; she was stunned, especially when she saw clearly who stood beside Mu Yumo, she was utterly shocked.

Gu Rongjin smiled: "What's wrong, Miss Yi Fei? Did you see a ghost and get frightened pale?"

"Sister!" Fei Yi shoved Mu Yumo aside and rushed forward.

Without further ado, Yi Fei took a step back, feeling uneasy: "Who... who are you? Why do you call me sister? You must have mistaken me for someone else."

"I..." Fei Yi only then realized belatedly that perhaps she shouldn't have so readily admitted to Mu Yumo that she was his sister.

Perhaps the sister had some hidden difficulty; if so, then he would have ruined her plans.

Gu Rongjin couldn't help but laugh: "Do we still need to keep up the act, Miss Pei?"

He directly called out the surname Pei.

"Yumo... you don't believe me either?" Yi Fei's eyes glistened with tears as she looked at Mu Yumo.

Here comes the basic skill of a green-tea bitch! Gu Rongjin thought, "Son, don't let Dad look down on you!"

Mu Yumo furrowed his brows and said: "Yi Fei, if you have any difficulties, just speak up; you're not a bad person at heart, right?"

"Of course!" Fei Yi hurriedly answered.

"Nobody asked you!"

"Miss Pei, although my son isn't the sharpest, he's obedient enough that you can't fool him, so don't keep pretending knowingly— isn't that embarrassing?" Gu Rongjin asked her, "Are you getting close to my son to plot rebellion, or to plot rebellion?"

His gaze suddenly turned sharp!

Mu Yumo's brows knitted tightly.

If that's really the case, he couldn't protect her either!

"Impossible! Even if you gave her a hundred guts, she wouldn't dare! She's that kind of very kind and good girl!" Fei Yi shouted excitedly.

Upon hearing that, Yi Fei's face instantly turned pale, and she shook her head: "I didn't! I didn't rebel! You can't frame me like you framed my father!"

In the end, the timing wasn't right; Gu Rongjin's provocation made her panic and lose her bearings.

"Frame you?" Gu Rongjin chuckled: "Your father joined forces with your grandfather to launch a mutiny at the imperial mausoleum, with so many eyes watching."

"To the victor go the spoils, to the loser the blame—his kingdom has been taken by you lot! You can naturally say whatever you want!"

Now that it's been exposed, Yi Fei stopped pretending.

"Yi Fei, so you really approached me with such a terrifying purpose?!" Mu Yumo's expression instantly turned cold.

And he remained completely oblivious.

"I said I didn't!" Yi Fei, having torn off her mask, no longer spoke softly; her whole being turned aggressive.

Gu Rongjin chuckled: "Then what do you want to do?"

"I just want to make your household chaotic, to avenge my father! Give those white-eyed wolves a taste of their own medicine!"

"Who are you calling a white-eyed wolf?!" Mu Yumo's aura exploded; suddenly like an Asura possessing him, his whole body reeked of killing intent as he lunged, grabbed Yi Fei's throat, and shoved her against the door.

The force was so great it produced a clanging sound.

Fei Yi panicked instantly, rushing forward heedless of everything, but Gu Rongjin easily blocked him after just a step—he couldn't budge at all!

"Sister! Bastard, let go of my sister!"

Yi Fei stared in disbelief at the Mu Yumo before her, who looked like a rakshasa.

Even in the military camp, she had never been to the front lines, let alone seen Mu Yumo go into battle to kill enemies—when had she ever seen him look like this?

In her impression, this young general was approachable and always showed her utmost care; she even thought he had come to like her!

Who would have thought…

"How dare your filthy mouth speak of my mother?!" Mu Yumo said in a cold voice, killing intent filling his eyes.

Such a Mu Yumo was something even Gu Rongjin had never seen before.

He felt for the first time that his son had truly grown up, no longer just a little brat who only knew how to act coquettish with his parents.

"Xiao Mo, stay calm."

Although but it's still a bit too emotional.

Hearing his father's words, Mu Yumo finally eased the force in his hand, but he still gripped Yi Fei's neck, warning her: "You had better not hide a thing!"

In his eyes, she was no longer the kind, strong, gentle military doctor he admired, but mere trash that could be tossed aside.

"Sister!" Fei Yi broke out in a cold sweat all over from nervousness.

He finally truly witnessed the terror of this young general Mu Yumo, who at a young age could be ennobled and appointed prime minister—it was definitely not an empty reputation.

One must never provoke him!

"General Mu really is ruthless when he turns on someone!"

Yi Fei no longer dared to mock Mu Yuanzhi, instead turning to mock Mu Yumo: "What's fun about bullying a weak woman?"

Gu Rongjin said from the side: "You might not know, but His Majesty has already issued a verbal order allowing us to dispose of you secretly—your lives are in my hands."

He spoke slowly and softly, yet his words struck those two siblings like a heavy blow.
