The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot-Chapter 263 - : 253 Threats? Ying Zijin can handle it. [4 updates]
Chapter 263: 253 Threats? Ying Zijin can handle it. [4 updates]
The auction was merely a platform provided by the Mu family and a few others; they weren’t truly the organizers.
Even if an antique was involved, Mu Heqing wouldn’t pay it much attention.
His heart was set on being a carefree hermit, just waiting to hand over the Mu family and drift away.
But because of Ying Zijin, Mu Cheng did pay special attention.
So, he too knew about the incidents that occurred at the auction.
Such matters, naturally, were not something Mu Cheng would bother Mu Heqing with.
But he believed that, with just a word from Ying Zijin, Mu Chenzhou would stand no chance of inheriting the Mu family.
It was only then that Mu Cheng came to ask.
Ying Zijin was sipping tea, and upon hearing him, she did not even pause, “Who?”
Mu Cheng: “…”
He had thought too much.
In Miss Ying’s eyes, sometimes even Mu Heqing was less important than snacks.
Let alone Mu Chenzhou.
How would she bother to hold someone unimportant in her mind?
That was quite pitiful.
Mu Cheng coughed and said earnestly, “No one, Miss Ying, let me open the snacks for you.”

Inside the private room.
After Fu Yunshen entered, he closed the door.
Mu Heqing chose this tea house partly because of its good soundproofing.
He sat cross-legged, thought for a while, and finally spoke, “I went to Shanghai City a few months ago and saw that your grandfather seemed to be alright, was it Xiao Ying who cured him?”
“Mhm,” Fu Yunshen replied indifferently, “I had already planned to give up.”
Not give up on Old Master Fu, but on himself.
“Luckily.” Mu Heqing sighed with relief, “Your grandfather was once under my command, it pained me to see him suffering from illness.”
The situation with Old Master Fu was different from his.
He had a series of health issues because he was shot in a place deviating from the heart.
Although Old Master Fu had also been injured on the battlefield, none were fatal, and at most he was just not as agile as an average person in his old age.
The thing that truly made life miserable for Old Master Fu was the overly domineering toxin.
Mu Heqing knew that Fu Yunshen had consulted doctors from the Ancient medical field, and they were among the most formidable ones.
Even Miss Meng who had been treating him previously couldn’t compare to them.
After all, some of these doctors were older than him, with experience and wisdom on their side.

And to get these doctors to leave the Ancient medical field was something he could not accomplish.
Especially the Meng Family, where direct lineage family members are known to be eccentric and would not give in to others’ requests.
Mu Heqing himself had asked Miss Meng to treat Mu Weifeng but was rejected.
Yet still, those extremely formidable doctors were not able to remove the toxin from Old Master Fu’s body.
Fu Yunshen’s eyelashes drooped, “Grandfather, it was for me.”
His lips curved slightly, still with that gentle arc, but his voice was cold, “Without me, he wouldn’t be like this.”
“The incident twenty years ago?” Mu Heqing frowned, “You were only two at that time, you couldn’t have stopped it.”
He took a deep breath, “It’s not just you. I wasn’t there, and just hearing about it later, even I developed a block in my heart.”
He couldn’t imagine how a two-year-old child managed to endure through that time.
Mu Heqing asked further, “Those people who went to the Fu family back then, have you not found them until now?”
“No,” Fu Yunshen chuckled lightly, “They haven’t come out again, but there are some traces.”
Mu Heqing frowned again, “If even you can’t find them, that’s not right…”
Twenty years ago, a large group of people had gone to the Fu family.
The toxin in Old Master Fu’s body appeared at that time.
He had also looked into the matter and came up empty-handed.
“Someone from the Ancient medical field is looking for you,” Mu Heqing shook his head, changing the subject, “Now that you have appeared in Imperial Capital, I guess it won’t be long before they come knocking.”
Fu Yunshen didn’t speak; his peach blossom eyes gazing down, the faint light flickered.
After thinking it over, Mu Heqing said, “There’s another thing I was hoping you could help with. When you go to the Ancient medical field, could you help me invite a doctor?”
“My grandson is not in the best of health and his condition has worsened recently.”
“Hmm?” Fu Yunshen’s lips curled up, “Isn’t Yaoyao there? The doctors from the Ancient medical field aren’t as skilled as her; she can do it.”
Mu Heqing waved his hand, “I don’t want to trouble her.”
Fu Yunshen didn’t refuse, “Alright, it can be done tonight. Let’s go together.”

9 p.m.
The Mu family was in chaos.
Because when a servant went in to deliver something to Mu Weifeng, they found him unconscious in the yard with traces of blood on his lips.
The butler hurried over in a panic and immediately sent him to the Imperial Capital Hospital.
All the specialists from the cardiothoracic department were called into the ICU.
This wasn’t the first time Mu Weifeng underwent major surgery, but this time it looked particularly perilous.
Even Madam Mu hadn’t expected Mu Weifeng’s health to deteriorate so rapidly.
But to her, this was an advantage.
Madam Mu took a taxi to the Imperial Capital Hospital.
As soon as she went upstairs, she saw Mu Yuxi.
That was Mu Weifeng’s sister.
Mu Yuxi was still in school, wearing her uniform, carrying a backpack, her forehead covered in sweat and her eyes red.
When Madam Mu arrived, she had already confirmed that neither Mu Cheng nor Mu Heqing would be there that night.
Carrying her bag, she walked over elegantly, “Yuxi, don’t worry, your brother has the protection of good fortune, he will be fine.”
Mu Yuxi didn’t speak, just stared at the operating room.
“You see?” Madam Mu said indifferently, “They can’t save your brother. But I can. I already told your brother at noon that if he withdrew from the Mu family’s heirship competition, I would help him get a doctor, but he wouldn’t listen.”
“Look what happened now? He’s so sick, he can’t even participate in the first assessment.”
Mu Yuxi’s lip trembled slightly, and she mechanically lifted her head, “What are you saying?”
Madam Mu looked at her, seemingly admiring her pale face, “Let’s make a deal. You withdraw from the competition, and I’ll get someone to treat your brother, what do you say?”
Mu Weifeng fell ill at an opportune moment.
With this relapse, he became unable to participate in the competition.
Even if he recovered, it would take a long time to convalesce.
Initially, she had intended to force only Mu Weifeng out of the heirship competition, but now Mu Yuxi had to be pushed as well.
Ever since the Third Master of the Mu family and the Third Madam died together, the siblings had relied on each other, sharing a deep bond.
Madam Mu believed that Mu Yuxi would make the right choice.
In major clans, from ancient times to the present, strife has been significant.
Mu Weifeng’s illness was not her doing.
Even if Mu Heqing found out about these matters, he wouldn’t bother with them.
This was not a set-up, just normal competition, a simple transaction.
Mu Yuxi pushed her wet bangs aside and gritted her teeth, “How do I know if what you’re saying is true? So many doctors have been helpless regarding my brother’s illness.”
“Believe it or not, it’s up to you,” Madam Mu said calmly, hinting at something, “Anyway, your brother’s illness can’t be delayed. The doctors at Imperial Capital Hospital are very capable, but they can’t compare to the international Divine Medical Saints, can they?”
Mu Yuxi didn’t say a word, feeling a coldness enveloping her.
“I’m doing this for your own good, I don’t want to see your brother just die like this,” Madam Mu shook her head, “All right, if you want to think about it, you can. Just see how long your brother can hold on.”
After that, Madam Mu left.
She stepped to the side and Ke Huizhu grabbed her hand, “Sister, what if she doesn’t agree? If Mu Weifeng dies, that would be an irredeemable loss.”
“Huizhu, don’t worry,” Madam Mu waved off the concern, “His illness won’t last for many days, if the Mu family could have had it treated, wouldn’t they have done it by now?”
“That Divine Medical Saint has no ties with the Mu family and can only be approached by your side. Just watch, Mu Yuxi will come begging to me soon.”
Ke Huizhu was still anxious, but hearing Madam Mu say this, she could only wait.
Before even three minutes had passed, Ke Huizhu saw Mu Yuxi, who had been standing at the door of the operating room, walking towards them.
“See?” Madam Mu smiled with a hint of scorn, “Here she comes. She could have just agreed earlier, but had to be stubborn with me.”
“Young girls, no matter how strong, lack experience and are easy to manipulate.”
Ke Huizhu breathed a sigh of relief and also smiled, “Sister, you really understand her.”
In the Mu family, siblings should not harm each other, and the relationships between brothers and sisters are generally quite good.
Unlike the Ke family, where biological brothers could readily abandon one another.
She was worried about that.
Sure enough, when Mu Yuxi came over, she said, “I agree to your terms, but you must cure my brother’s illness.”
She wasn’t unaware of the schemes of Madam Mu, yet she had to acquiesce.
Compared to participating in the heirship assessment, Mu Weifeng’s life was more important.
Even if it was just a glimmer of hope.
“Rest assured.” Madam Mu pulled out a document, “Just sign here and withdraw from the competition, and I’ll get a doctor for you.”
A pen was forcibly shoved into Mu Yuxi’s trembling hand, and she couldn’t make the first stroke for a long while.
“Mu Yuxi, sign it already,” Madam Mu said coldly, “Or do you want to watch your brother die? Is that how you act as a sister? Are you intent on killing him?”
Mu Yuxi took a deep breath, managing to steady her hand at last and began to sign.
