The Prime Minister’s Darling-Chapter 1514 - 736 Brave Little Jingsky (First Update)_2

Su Hao said with a look of confusion, "But isn’t Qingchen good friends with Xiao Liulang? Third Miss always says so..."

Is this a matter of being good friends? You goddamn pushed my fourth brother into the fire pit!

Mu Chuan took a deep breath, "Su Hao, this matter is already over, I don’t want to fuss over it with you, so just stop!"

Su Hao looked at Mu Qingchen, defending himself, "I had no evil intentions, I was just anxiously trying to solve problems for my father. If I really said something wrong, I will go and explain to my father right now."

Mu Chuan couldn’t stand the faked politeness of a grown man anymore; all the anger that he had suppressed was ignited by Su Hao, and he exploded.

He raised his fist and smashed it into Su Hao’s face, knocking Su Hao to the ground!

"Hao’er!"

It was the voice of Su Yuan.

The reason Mu Elder had called Su Yuan and Mu Tao to the study was not to continue their lofty discussions but to explain some details not fit for the children to hear.

The trio came out rather quickly.

They had not expected to see this scene.

While the Mu Family did indeed hold a higher status than the Su Family, and Su Hao was a concubine-born son, none of these were justifications for Mu Chuan to bully Su Hao at will.

By the time Su Yuan cried out "Hao’er," Mu Chuan had already thrown the second punch and could no longer retract it.

With his immense internal strength, Su Yuan struck at Mu Chuan with a palm strike from a distance.

Mu Qingchen flashed in front of Mu Chuan and caught Su Yuan’s palm.

Su Yuan’s expression was ice-cold.

Mu Qingchen did not dodge.

Father and son confronted each other like that, the atmosphere becoming eerily tense to the extreme.

"Mu Chuan!" Mu Tao also came out, he looked at Mu Chuan who was hiding behind Mu Qingchen, then at Su Hao lying on the ground with blood flowing from his nose, and how could he not understand?

Mu Tao was livid, walking over and grabbing his ear.

Mu Chuan took to his heels, "Grandfather save me!"

Mu Chuan threw himself behind Mu Elder.

Mu Tao was so angry he stamped his foot, "Don’t hide behind your grandfather, come out here to me! Have you grown so brazen? Who gave you the permission to start hitting people!"

Mu Chuan was chased around by his own father, scampering to and fro.

Mu Tao took off his shoe, using the sole to beat him, but anyone could see although the beating looked severe, the force was not heavy.

Mu Elder said, "Chuan’er, apologize to Su Fourth Young Master."

Mu Chuan pouted, glanced at Su Hao, and reluctantly said, "Sorry, my hand slipped just now and hit you. And you, really, sons of the same father, yet my fourth brother is so good at martial arts, how can yours be so poor? You were taken down by just a single punch!"

Su Yuan helped Su Hao to his feet.

With shame, Su Hao lowered his head, "I have embarrassed my father..."

Mu Chuan clutched his chest.

Urgh—

...

Su Yuan left the residence with Su Hao and Mu Qingchen.

He let Su Hao get on the carriage first.

Now with only the two of them, Su Yuan asked, "Why didn’t you stop Mu Chuan just now?"

Mu Qingchen countered, "Why should I stop him?"

"You—" Su Yuan gritted his teeth, "He is your elder brother!"

"I never acknowledged that."

Having said that, Mu Qingchen turned and boarded his own carriage.

Mu Chuan was also on the carriage; seeing Mu Qingchen board, he scooted over, "Fourth Brother, take a seat!"

He pushed open the window, saw Su Hao across in the Su Family carriage looking over with the curtain lifted, and stuck out his tongue in disgust, "Blech!"

"Let’s go," Mu Qingchen ordered the coachman.

The coachman cracked his whip, and the horses started running.

Mu Chuan asked, "Fourth Brother, are you really going to approach Xiao Liulang? With his disposition, I fear he has no interest in noble families. It’s all that Su Hao’s fault for talking too much!"

Mu Qingchen said, "In any case, someone has to look for him."

If not him, then someone else.

"Right," Mu Chuan nodded, "But honestly, being an advisor for the Mu Family isn’t bad. The Mu Family really values talents. As long as one isn’t just a freeloader pretending to have skills, everyone in the Mu Family is treated with respect and as honored guests, and about this, grandfather was not wrong. If possible, Fourth Brother, do have a good talk with Liulang. Since you two have a good relationship, I believe he will listen to what Fourth Brother has to say."

Good relationship?

The two of them... had become estranged long ago.

...

National Master Hall.

Shangguan Yun woke up, her body wrapped in bandages and not in a state to move freely.

Gu Jiao hooked up an IV for her.

The catheter Gu Jiao placed in her wrist yesterday made it painless for today’s infusion.

Shangguan Yun curiously looked at the IV bag hanging above, asking, "Is this water? Are you injecting me with water? When I was in the county town, I saw them do this to pigs before taking them to be sold."
