2598 The Mu Clan Assembles

While those clans were overcast with gloomy clouds, the Mu Clan was also filled with anxiety.

Ever since the emperor issued that peculiar imperial edict, Family Head Mu had sent Mu Xingchen to actively contact the crown prince consort.

However, it had already been three days. The crown prince consort did not make an appearance for a full three days.

Even so, the entire capital knew about the crown prince consort’s legends.

Collecting debt by imperial decree was not only talked about in the upper social circles. It had already spread to the streets…

Everyone’s expressions would change when talking about the crown prince consort…

In their hearts, they equated the crown prince consort to a demoness.

The Mu Clan could not longer sit still. They called a high-level meeting of elders early in the morning.

The elders took their seats. They couldn’t resist asking Mu Xingchen, who was sitting in the first seat below the seat of honor, “Xingchen, what is your younger sister saying right now? Does she have requests? Just agree to all of them first! We can talk after she returns to our Mu Clan.”

Mu Xingchen lowered his eyes indifferently. “I did not see her at all. She probably does not want to see anyone from the Mu Clan at all either.”

“How could that be?” A tall and skinny elder said with a frown, “If she truly is a descendant of our Mu Clan, how could she not wish to come back to our Mu Clan? Unless there is simply something wrong with her bloodline!”

Mu Xingchen abruptly widened his eyes. He looked coldly at that elder and said, “I am most clear whether she is my younger sister or not. You all simply do not understand this bloodline resonance.”

“Xingchen, do not get angry. Elder Qing only spoke without thinking.”

Mu Xingchen held back his aggression and harrumphed coldly.

At this time, the door to the room was pushed open. Mu Jingfeng and Mu Jingrui were walking in front.

Behind them followed the second brother Mu Jingxing, the third brother Mu Jingyuan, the fourth brother Mu Jingxiao, the fifth brother Mu Jingyang, and the sixth brother Mu Jinglao.

The seven sons of the Mu Clan had assembled.

These people could be said to represent the core of the Mu Clan.

“How come the atmosphere is so gloomy. Are you still worrying about the crown prince consort?” The sixth brother Mu Jinglao spoke without a filter. He said with a chuckle, “Don’t worry, if she is our Mu Clan’s child, she will return sooner or later.”

“What sooner or later! Today is already the third day of the time limit that the emperor set!” Elder Qing snapped.

Mu Jinglao shrugged. “What’s the big deal. If we have Xingchen go make another trip, perhaps the little lady will be willing to return after she cools down.”

“I’m not lecturing you all because I want to! How could you be so blind and bring back an impostor?” Mu Jinglao chortled, “This matter is primarily Eldest Brother’s fault. Look at what his concubine cooked up? If you ask my opinion, you had better divorce this concubine to prevent her from playing cheap tricks all day long.”

Mu Xingchen coldly lowered his eyes.

Mu Jingfeng waved his hand coldly and interrupted his sixth brother’s rambling. He turned to say to Mu Xingchen, “Go ask her conditions for coming back.”

Mu Xingchen couldn’t resist scoffing. He looked up mockingly at his father. “If the Mu Clan still adopts this attitude, I can guarantee that she will definitely not come back.”

Mu Jingfeng looked reticently at this son of his.

“I have reasons for doing this.” Mu Jingfeng already gleaned from his son’s eyes that his son had discovered that he originally did not intend to bring Mu Qiao back home.

“I feel that you must have some misunderstanding toward me.”

“I did not misunderstand. You had long known that Concubine Shi brought back a fake.”
