The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 473 - 436: Simple and Direct

The Wei Family is large, and in Yunyang City, they have more than just this one mansion known as the Wei Family Mansion.

Like the current Yuan Family Mansion, it once belonged to the Wei Family, more precisely, to Wei Wushang.

After Mu Lin was captured, Wei Wushang didn’t take him back to the Wei Family Mansion but instead sent him directly to another residence owned by the Wei Family in the city, entrusting him to a trusted subordinate for supervision.

Early the next morning, after Yuan Bao woke up, he first sent his two younger brothers to live with their grandmother, who was the Eldest Princess, and then he followed Wei Wushang out to meet this Marquis Wugong’s Princely Heir, Mu Lin.

To meet this person as soon as possible, Yuan Bao even paused his morning training.

"Jiaojiao, really, there’s no need to be in such a rush!"

Wei Wushang couldn’t understand why Yuan Bao was so eager to meet Mu Lin.

He didn’t know much about this Princely Heir of Marquis Wugong, Wei Wushang knew only of his reputation for being a profligate gentleman, and had never met him face to face.

Strictly speaking, in Yunyang City, the Marquis Wugong’s Princely Heir was one of those whose name was known but the person was rarely seen.

If it weren’t for the old servant by Mu Lin’s side revealing his identity, Wei Wushang wouldn’t have known that Lin Mu was Mu Lin.

"Uncle, can I not be in a hurry?"

Yuan Bao sighed, "This is related to Qiqi’s entire life!"

As someone who had seen Sheng Xueyi’s future diary, Yuan Bao was indeed aware of Mu Lin’s existence. In Sheng Xueyi’s diary, this Princely Heir of Marquis Wugong was described as an unparalleled talent in both literature and martial arts.

However, in Sheng Xueyi’s diary, the Marquis Wugong Mansion had not collapsed.

But now, the Marquis Wugong Mansion had fallen.

Yuan Bao didn’t know if all this was due to the butterfly effect caused by Sheng Xueyi’s rebirth or her own arrival.

Of course, even if she met Mu Lin, Yuan Bao might not get any answers.

Nonetheless, Yuan Bao just wanted to meet him, to subtly probe. If she could get an answer, that would be ideal. If not, it didn’t matter, at least it would clear up her thoughts.

...

When Yuan Bao finally met Mu Lin and saw his calm demeanor, an inexplicable bad feeling surfaced in her heart.

"You are Princess Jiafu?"

Upon seeing Yuan Bao arrive, there was finally a slight change in Mu Lin’s expression.

"I am!"

Yuan Bao looked at Mu Lin, noticing his peculiar gaze.

"Did you come for me?"

Instinctively feeling, oftentimes, the truth is just that simple.

"Yes!"

Mu Lin’s face showed a faint hint of mockery, "No wonder she kept saying you have really good luck and told me not to seek revenge on you!"

"Unexpectedly, your luck is indeed quite good!"

"Perhaps, this is fate!"

Faced with Yuan Bao and Wei Wushang, Mu Lin seemed to have accepted his fate, speaking frankly without any reservations. He didn’t even wait for Yuan Bao to ask more questions before continuing to speak.

Standing beside Yuan Bao, Wei Wushang was initially very puzzled, but being a clever person, he quickly put together the truth of the matter himself.

The "she" that Mu Lin referred to should be Sheng Xueyi.

In other words, Sheng Xueyi had been in contact with Mu Lin since after the incident at the Marquis Wugong Mansion.

"I am very curious!"

Yuan Bao didn’t believe Mu Lin would really surrender to his fate.

In Sheng Xueyi’s future diary, Mu Lin was a paragon of both literary and martial prowess, described by Sheng Xueyi as "an unmatched gentleman like jade in the world."

Would such a prodigy so easily be caught? So easily admit defeat?

As the saying goes, when something is unusual, there must be some intrigue.

"Someone like you wouldn’t let yourself fall into such a predicament so easily!"

"So, what is your purpose?"

"My purpose?"

Upon hearing Yuan Bao’s words, Mu Lin appeared confused, as if he couldn’t understand what Yuan Bao was saying.

Yuan Bao ignored Mu Lin’s reaction, lost in her own thoughts.

"Let me take a guess!"

Yuan Bao scrutinized Mu Lin, who was putting on an act, and suddenly smiled, "I think your plan, most likely, is thinking that we wouldn’t kill you!"

"Either hand you over to the Emperor or let you go!"

"Or, if we are foolish enough, we might think you truly have no choice and decide to take you in as a subordinate!"

"I haven’t guessed wrong, have I!"

Yuan Bao thought it over, thinking that Mu Lin’s plotting was likely one of these scenarios. Even if there were slight changes, the ultimate goal was definitely these.
