Mu Rufeng was entertaining Ye Xiuchen at his house.
Ye Xiuchen took over Xiao Chengyi's business and brought people to escort 500,000 taels of silver here. However, he did not alert anyone else and entered the city quietly while the night was dark.
It was already very late after counting the five hundred thousand taels of silver last night. Mu Rufeng let Ye Xiuchen rest for the night before giving him a break.
Food had been prepared in the flower hall. Mu Rufeng led Ye Xiuchen here and introduced him to his wife, sister, and brother-in-law, Xiao Jue.
Hearing the names of Mu Xuechu and Shen Chi, Ye Xiuchen was shocked and in disbelief.
Mu Rufeng explained with a smile: "It's Yi'er. He saved Shen Chi and Xue Chu and let them pretend to die together. But Beichen couldn't stay anymore. They planned to go to Nanyue. This Young Master Xiao is The prince of Nanyue is also Yi'er's cousin."
Ye Xiuchen was a little confused. He gradually sorted out some of the clues and asked with some confusion: "Why did General Mu tell me this when we first met? Aren't you afraid that I would leak the secret?"
Mu Rufeng said: "Yier said that you are one of our own, and there is no need to hide anything from you."
Ye Xiuchen felt very emotional. Although he and Xiao Chengyi were not familiar with each other and had only met twice before, this man treated him as one of his own and even told him such an important secret.
He deeply admired Xiao Chengyi's character and became more determined. Not being his enemy was the wisest choice.
Ye Xiuchen saluted Mu Rufeng and said, "General Mu must already know my life experience, don't you mind?"
Mu Rufeng patted his shoulder and said, "Isn't your surname Ye? Speaking of which, your father and I are close friends. According to our seniority, you should call me uncle."
Ye Xiuchen understood what he meant, he smiled slightly and called: "Uncle."
"Okay, okay, sit down quickly."
Mu Rufeng pulled Ye Xiuchen to sit down and asked, "Is your mother okay?"
Ye Xiuchen replied: "My mother is very good. I received a letter from her a few days ago saying that Xiao Chengyi took Yan Jingxuan to see her. They have recognized each other as mother and son, and they also said that Yan Jingxuan wanted to meet my eldest brother. , let me finish my work and go back early."
Mu Rufeng nodded: "That's good. Your mother is a woman of the world. She likes grudges and grudges. She has suffered a lot over the years and has done wrong things. But fortunately, she has found her way back. I hope you don't blame her. .”
Ye Xiuchen shook his head: "My mother treats me very well and does not dislike me because of my background. No matter who I am, she is my mother, and this will never change."
Mu Rufeng looked a little pleased. He poured Ye Xiuchen a glass of wine and asked, "Do you know Yi'er's plan?"
Ye Xiuchen said: "I only know that he wants to support Yan Jingxuan to become Beichen's crown prince, but I don't know his purpose for doing so. He is obviously more suitable."
He had doubted Xiao Chengyi's life experience before, but now that he heard that his cousin was the prince of Nanyue, he understood everything.
But this made him even more puzzled.
Mu Rufeng explained: "You should know Yi'er's identity. If he wanted to gain the world, the only way he could do it was to rebel. But he didn't want the people to suffer from the war because of him, so he chose an easier way.
This world is not a world for one person, but a world for the people. Only by putting the people first at all times can we be able to shoulder the important responsibilities of this world. No matter what choice he makes, I will support him."
