Chapter 860: 858: Old Classmate, Long Time No See

“Grandma, you rest well and get a good sleep. Today we will just stay in the old mansion and not go anywhere.”

Mu Chengxi’s comforting words were very effective. The Old Madam Mu gently nodded her head, shifted her body, found a comfortable position, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing that the Old Madam had fallen asleep, Zhuge Jingming gently tugged at Wen Xin’s sleeve, “Little Uncle-Master, there’s nothing for me here, I will head back first…”

“Hold on, I’ll write a prescription for you. You follow the prescription to gather the medicines and make them into pills for fifteen days, then have someone deliver them here as soon as possible. Grandma needs to take them.”

As he spoke, Wen Xin placed the already prepared golden needles into his backpack, took out a pen and a notebook from his backpack, and seriously wrote a prescription, which he handed to Zhuge Jingming.

Zhuge Jingming looked at Wen Xin’s prescription, his eyes involuntarily lit up. The daring prescription of this Little Uncle-Master had finally reemerged in Jianghu.

“Alright, I will go back and handle the medicine right now. I can have the pills delivered by tomorrow morning, ensuring there will be no delay for the Old Madam’s dosage in the morning.”

Zhuge Jingming carefully placed the prescription into his pocket and left the Mu family’s old mansion with great excitement.

Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi sat in Old Madam Mu’s bedroom, observing her for a while, then they left her bedroom together.

Coming out of the bedroom, Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi saw Auntie Fu handing over a packed suitcase to a servant.

“Auntie Fu, how is the butler doing?”

Wen Xin let go of Mu Chengxi’s hand, walked up to Auntie Fu, and asked about the butler’s health with a furrowed brow and a gentle voice.

Hearing Wen Xin’s concern, Auntie Fu sighed helplessly, “The butler has broken ribs, but other than that, there’s no major issue, so don’t worry.”

“Hmm, have someone take care of the butler, Auntie Fu. Grandma can’t do without you, so rest assured I will arrange everything at the butler’s end.”

Mu Chengxi came up behind Wen Xin, gently embraced her, and brought her into his arms while addressing Auntie Fu with a calm voice.

“Thank you, Young Master. Don’t worry, I will take good care of the Old Madam,” Auntie Fu assured while looking at Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi, knowing they wouldn’t mistreat her or the butler.

“Hmm, after Auntie Fu has packed for the butler, please go check on my grandma. I still have some things to take care of, so we will go to my courtyard first. Call me if there’s anything.”

“Alright, I will go and stay with the Old Madam right away. Young Master and Miss Wen, please go ahead with your errands.”

After finishing, Mu Chengxi embraced Wen Xin and they both left Old Madam Mu’s courtyard, heading towards his own courtyard.

Once back in Mu Chengxi’s courtyard, Wen Xin slumped lazily on the sofa. Mu Chengxi sat beside Wen Xin, gently drawing her into his embrace.

“Thank you for today, for once again saving Grandma.”

Wen Xin leaned into Mu Chengxi’s embrace, her head resting on his chest, and looked up at Mu Chengxi, raising an eyebrow.

“When did we become so distant that we even need to say thank you?”

Wen Xin embraced Mu Chengxi, leaning lazily against him, “Although Grandma’s condition has improved, she mustn’t get agitated. I heard that Mu Jinsong will also be released in a week. By then, the Mu family might become more chaotic. Have you thought about what to do?”

Wen Xin wasn’t worried about the affairs of the Mu family, but she was concerned about Old Madam Mu’s health; at this time, Old Madam must not have any accidents.

Mu Chengxi raised his hand to arrange Wen Xin’s slipping strands of hair, offering her a gentle smile, “I won’t let them come in again. I’ll arrange my own people to guard the old mansion, and since the Mu Group is currently in Mu Jingang’s hands, Mu Jinsong’s release will be his problem.”

“There probably won’t be time to tend to Grandma, so let’s stay here a few more days to protect her as much as we can.”

Mu Chengxi lowered his head and gently kissed the top of Wen Xin’s head, “How was your trip to the Kunshan Group today? Did you find any information on Tan Xingyue’s whereabouts?”

“No, Tan Xingyue wasn’t taken by Wen Yunuo. It must be the Old Fox trying to restrain me, and Jiang Linyan was also taken by the Old Fox’s people.”

“I don’t think the Old Fox would easily harm Tan Xingyue, but I’m worried he might keep Tan Xingyue and Jiang Linyan together. How things would unfold from there, no one can say.”

Wen Xin, somewhat irritated, crawled out of Mu Chengxi’s embrace. She was a bit agitated not finding any trace of Tan Xingyue, but… she couldn’t directly demand the person from the Old Fox; she didn’t want to be too passive.

At this moment, Tan Xingyue sat in a dim room, like a frightened bunny, somewhat at a loss.

She woke up here, completely unaware of where she was, how long she had been here, or what she might face next. Her heart kept hoping someone would come to rescue her.

Just then, the tightly locked door was slowly pushed open. Tan Xingyue, out of fear, unconsciously stepped back.

Jiang Linrou entered from outside and saw such a scene, smiling smugly. She thought it was great that this wretch had fallen into her hands today.

“You… who are you? Why am I here? What do you want with me?”

Tan Xingyue’s voice was hoarse as she questioned the dark shadow in front of her; she couldn’t make out her face, completely unaware of who the person before her was.

“Me? I’m your old classmate, Tan Xingyue. Did you not expect to see me here at all? Aren’t you surprised? Isn’t it unexpected?”

As Jiang Linrou spoke, she switched on the light in the room. The light blinded Tan Xingyue, who instinctively covered her eyes, unable to see anything due to the glare.

Once Tan Xingyue acclimated to the brightness in the room, she slowly lowered her hands and blinked her eyes before she could see the person in front of her clearly.

“Jiang Linrou?”

“Yes, it’s me. Surprised? We still had a chance to meet! Now that you’re in my hands, without Wen Xin, I wonder who can protect you!”

Jiang Linrou watched Tan Xingyue with a triumphant smile on her face. She had stolen the man she liked and caused her embarrassment during military training, resulting in her being exiled abroad, unable to return to Beijing. With new grievances added to old resentments, she wouldn’t feel satisfied until she tormented her thoroughly.

Tan Xingyue’s back was tightly pressed against the wall. She previously felt a bit uneasy in the dark, but now, seeing Jiang Linyan, she felt there was no escape.
