Chapter 732: WHAT IS SHE PLOTTING?

Back then, when Jing Sheng was given poison by Mu Lin, Noel changed it. When everyone maltreated her, Noel was kind towards her. When she was locked up in the dungeon, Noel would keep some of his food and would give it to her without anyone's notice.

Jing Sheng herself told Mu Lan how good Noel was to her.

When Mu Lan heard the story, she was too busy hating and cursing Mu Lin, she didn't think of other things. Even if she noticed, she wouldn't heed to it since Noel was a good person from the very beginning.

But now, the way he looked at Jing Sheng gave Mu Lan goosebumps. Moreover, when he said that she was better without a necklace, Mu Lan almost had nosebleed.

"Ah, mother-in-law, how can you be so dense at a time like this?" Mu Lan rubbed her temples.

That night, Mu Lan went to sleep early without Mu Liang. Her brain worked the best when she slept a lot.

Since she was sleeping alone, her sleep was light. At midnight, she woke up because someone climbed to the bed. She stretched her hand and found a familiar figure. She moved towards that person and simply hugged the warm body.

Mu Liang only covered himself with the comforter when slender arms encircled around him. He looked down to see Mu Lan was hugging him under the comforter. He pulled her closer and put her head on his chest.

"Mmm… you are late…." Mu Lan mumbled.

"I had to complete my work." Mu Liang softly patted her back repeatedly, coaxing her to sleep.

"Liang Liang, you are going to have another father." She mumbled again. His patting was making her drowsy again.

Mu Liang's hand froze in the midair. He was stunned after what he heard. 'Did I hear correctly? Another father? My father, Lan's biological father and The Cobra fathers; altogether fifteen fathers. Don't I have enough already? I don't think others have more fathers than I have. What is she plotting?'

He wanted to ask her but she already had fallen asleep. This time she slept soundly since she knew that Mu Liang was by her side.

Mu Liang controlled his curiosity and closed his eyes. He thought, 'Wifey, what are you planning to do now?'

The next morning, when Mu Lan woke up, she was in the bed alone. She stretched her hands and legs before getting up from the bed. After washing her face, she went downstairs. On the way, she met Jing Sheng in the corridor.

She smiled and called her out. "Mother, good morning."

Jing Sheng turned around and saw Mu Lan. She smiled back. "Good morning, Xiao Lan. Have you had breakfast?"

"No. I have missed to dine with others." She already noticed that it was past nine.

"I'm going out to eat. Do you want to join me?" Jing Sheng gave her an invitation.

"That's great! I will come with you." Mu Lan was glad that woke up late. It was the first time, they were able to go somewhere alone.

Suddenly something came into her mind. She said, "Let me change my dress." Before Jing Sheng could say anything, she turned around and left.

What changing dress, she directly went to Qi Ying's study room. She didn't even knock the door and opened it directly.

Qi Ying was doing some paper works and the Head Butler Leo was standing in front of her. They both were startled as the door was burst opened.

"Xiao Lan, is there something wrong?" Qi Ying was so shocked that she forgot to wish 'good morning' to her friend.

Mu Lan directly said, "There is something I need from you."

"What is it?" Qi Ying asked in astonishment. She couldn't understand what made Mu Lan so excited.

Mu Lan spoke, "Noel doesn't have any particular weekend off, right? Why don't you give him a day off today?"

Both Qi Ying and Noel blinked. They didn't expect this.

Generally, all the servants in Mu household get weekends and even a month off. However, since their families severed Mu Household for generations and most of the servants' families lived in the castle area. They created their own houses and small shopping small. The place they lived in the castle compound became a small town. However, this castle area was too big to get crowded. So many of them usually didn't go out of the castle compound. They got paid for extra work, so most of them didn't take days off except for special reason.

As for Noel, he was an orphan. He once saved Mu Jin from some thugs when Mu Jin was only ten years old. Noel was younger than him.

Being grateful Mu Cheng took Noel to the castle. He was trained under the then-Head Butler of the Mu Household. After that Head Butler died, Noel became the new Head Butler. He loved to keep himself busy, never had friends and family members outside the castle and thus, after he became the new Head Butler, he never took days off.

Now that he got an offer of a day off from the former Madam Mu, he was rather speechless.

Qi Ying asked, "Is there a reason for him to have a day off today? What about tomorrow?"

"I don't have time tomorrow." Mu Lan immediately boycotted the suggestion. She glanced at Perplexed Noel. She asked him, "Aren't you the one who helped mother-in-law managing the business?"

Noel answered politely, "Yes, I did. First Young Mistress, is there anything wrong with my managing?"

"Yes and no. I'm going to visit mother-in-law's business today. I want you to join me so that you can help me to understand everything about her business." Mu Lan lied bluntly with moving her eyelids.

Naturally, Qi Ying and Noel believed her.

"Oh, it's like that. Sure, I will give Noel a day off." Qi Ying agreed instantly. She told Noel, "Tell Zero to take your works."

"Yes, Madam Mu." Noel bowed and left the room.

"Thanks Xiao Ying." Mu Lan gave her friend a flying kiss before leaving.

Qi Ying only smiled without saying anything.
