As soon as Mu Xiaoxiao's questioning words fell, Mu Yao was like a cat that had been stepped on by the tail, and even stood up directly on the other side of the long table, with a fierce flame in his eyes, staring at Mu Xiaoxiao desperately.

Obviously, Mu Xiaoxiao's words before made her feel hurt, and more importantly, Mu Yao couldn't afford to lose face in front of her fiancé!

Seeing the two women facing each other for a moment, Mu Huarong was shocked by the information that exploded from Zhang He's mouth alone.

Ordinary people and low-ranking nobles may not know about the Devourer base......

But in fact, with a family background of the level of the Mu Mansion, it is impossible not to understand the significance of the Devourer Base to the Sixth Underworld Fortress and even the Tario Council.

Especially when the second brother Mu Zhenxiong supported Mu Chen on the basis of the Devourer Base, he also knew about the establishment of the third special district.

But he never expected that Mu Chen's core research goal would be to sit at a table with him to eat, and even become Mu Xiaoxiao's boyfriend.

At this moment, how could Mu Huarong's psychology have no ideas?

Obviously, whether it is Mu Zhenxiong, Mu Chen, or even Mu Xiaoxiao, they all know the secret of Zhang He, but Mu Xiaoxiao is still making a small calculation and betting on a duel with himself on what marriage object.

What's more, I stupidly agreed......

"Heh, it seems that I was really played by the second child?" Mu Huarong's mind thought unnaturally.

After all, for a person who has always done his best for the family, having no heirs is the same as having no selfishness.

But what did such a self get in exchange?

At least, in Mu Huarong's opinion, as his second brother and the duke of the Tario Council, if he really respects himself from the bottom of his heart, he should communicate with himself about things like this.

Even if he, Mu Huarong, is not a devourer, but as the eldest lord who is in charge of the Mu Mansion on a daily basis, doesn't he still understand the gap between 20 and 60 of the alienation source liquid?

Then this second brother is too underestimating himself, right? Or did he not really regard himself as the eldest son of the family at all? The true heir or ruler of the Mugong Mansion?

At this moment, Mu Huarong's heart told the truth, and began to tilt towards the second brother Mu Zhenxiong's family in a negative direction!

It's just that he doesn't want to think about what mysterious alliance he took with the Mu family to join without permission with Mu Zhenxiong, who is a duke, and even arranged any political marriage for his most beloved daughter, and he didn't ask Mu Zhenxiong about his father's opinions and opinions, so he made his own decisions, how could he really care about his second brother?

I have to say that selfish people sometimes only consider problems from their own point of view, no matter how sacred and selfless the problem is packaged by them, but they can't get rid of the selfish heart of the problem person himself!

Almost in the depths of Mu Huarong's heart, the moment he labeled the respect that his second brother Mu Zhenxiong had always shown with ulterior motives, his expression unnaturally revealed a touch of disgust for Mu Xiaoxiao.

Although he is very deeply hidden, Zhang He, who has lived in his adoptive mother's family since he was a child, is still keenly aware of it.

Immediately, when Zhang He was about to continue to say something to alleviate the uncomfortable atmosphere, Mu Huarong suddenly snorted coldly, and said with a serious face: "It's all a family, what kind of system is this?" Mu Yao, sit down, Mu Xiaoxiao, you will also say a few words to me! ”

After hearing Mu Huarong's words, Mu Xiaoxiao skimmed his uncle slightly, but he didn't say anything, but in an instant, a light smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

On the contrary, Mu Yao's eyes narrowed slightly, but in the end, he seemed to be forced by Mu Huarong's pressure and sat down after showing a very unwilling state.

It's just that at this time, deep down in the hearts of the two women, they must not be very comfortable, especially since the two have always been-for-tat since childhood.

Although Mu Xiaoxiao is very innocent and is always inexplicably targeted by Mu Yao, but after thinking about it, who let Mu Xiaoxiao have a duke's father?

It seems that he also feels the tense atmosphere in the banquet hall, and Zhang Luoyi can see something even if he is naïve.

Then he looked down on his brother Zhang He......

You must know that my brother has no real blood relationship with him, but the two are better than relatives, no, they are more harmonious and friendly than ordinary relatives.

For example, sister-in-law Mu Xiaoxiao and the woman named Mu Yao opposite, obviously have blood ties in their bodies, but they always behave like enemies, why bother?

At least Zhang Luoyi can't figure out the key points......

In Zhang Luoyi's view, family affection is more important than anything, without family affection, even if you have thousands of family fortunes or prosperous people and top aristocratic status, what is the use?

At the same time, Mu Xiaoxiao, who had regained the mask of friendliness, thought a little happily in his heart, "It seems that Zhang He, a legendary scholar who once dominated the Azure Academy, has a really not simple brain, and he can make the old fox deflated!" ”

Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoxiao's left hand slightly hooked the back of Zhang He's hand, and at the same time turned his head sideways and showed him a delicate smile.

Feeling Mu Xiaoxiao's small movements, Zhang He's heart smiled helplessly......

He just wanted to dismantle the trap hidden in the identity introduction before, but he didn't expect to provoke the conflict between Mu Xiaoxiao and his cousin.

However, at this moment, after Mu Huarong saw that he had stopped the conflict that almost broke out between the two women, a friendly smile appeared on his face again.

The speed of turning his face is definitely not inferior to the time of turning a book, which shows that this kind of old guy's cultivation of kung fu has already reached the point of perfection.

"Sure enough, young people are the cornerstone of the future, no wonder they can single-handedly repel the invading enemies of the Abyss Council, Mu Xiaoxiao can have a friend like you, I'm really happy for her!

"It seems that thanks to the welcome banquet I held, I was able to meet the future Devourer Elite, and I think this is also the honor of my Mu family, and I have prepared a lot of food today! You're welcome! ”

After speaking, a light smile appeared on Mu Huarong's face and looked at Zhang He, but he obviously knew about Zhang He's private relationship with Mu Xiaoxiao, but he didn't mention it.

As for what the idea was, Zhang He really didn't figure it out for a while, and at this stage, he could only guess that this guy ignored the relationship between himself and Mu Xiaoxiao, most of which was not good.

Sure enough, just as Zhang He's idea came to mind, Mu Yao on the opposite side seemed to have received Mu Huarong's order, and directly chose to open fire!

I saw that Mu Yao's slightly resentful eyes that originally looked at Mu Xiaoxiao instantly changed into a look of self-pity and self-pity, and at the same time sighed helplessly.

"I don't know how my engagement banquet will be organized in the future?"

Hearing Mu Yao's words, a smile appeared on the corner of Mu Huarong's mouth, and he responded softly: "No matter what you say, you are also a child of my Mu family, so naturally I can't treat you badly!" ”

It's just that Mu Yao didn't show any satisfied expression, and even glanced at Mu Xiaoxiao with a resentful expression.

"Then I'll thank Uncle first, but I don't dare to hope that the engagement banquet will surpass Xiaoxiao in the future, after all, the second uncle is a duke."

"What's more, two months later, the Junjie who came to the No. 1 Underworld Castle also came with the task of marriage, presumably the eldest uncle and the second uncle will definitely do it in a big way, right? I've heard people say that there are some special ingredients, but now I'm starting to prepare them! ”

"Can't compare, can't compare!" After speaking, Mu Yao didn't forget to sigh lightly......

Although the expression on his face showed pity and envy, the eyes that looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and Zhang He were obviously playful.

Almost as Mu Yao's words fell, Mu Xiaoxiao stared at Mu Huarong, obviously in her understanding, Mu Yao's ability to say these words must have been influenced by Mu Huarong.

At least in Mu Xiaoxiao's opinion, Mu Yao doesn't have this kind of insinuating mind......

She mentioned the clan marriage in a winding way, and combined with the fact that Mu Huarong stopped mentioning her relationship with Zhang He before, didn't she plan to use this kind of soft nail to force Zhang He to take the initiative to leave her?

Seeing Mu Xiaoxiao's gaze, Mu Huarong also frowned slightly, and scolded softly: "They are all children of the family, where will there be any difference?" Your fiancé is still here! Net nonsense, let people laugh at our Mu family! ”

After finishing speaking, Mu Huarong changed a smile on his face again, and looked at Zhang He: "There will indeed be two grand banquets in the Mu family in the near future, and when the time comes, Baron Zhang He and Miss Zhang Luoyi, the sister of Ling, must be invited to participate!" ”

It's just that just as Mu Huarong's words fell, Mu Xiaoxiao slapped the table suddenly, and stood up at the same time, staring at Mu Huarong with wrinkled eyes.

She has a big personality and is relatively direct, and she has long had enough of what happened in the banquet hall today!

In an instant, the atmosphere in the banquet hall heated up instantly, but even the naïve Zhang Luoyi heard a kind of meaning aimed at his brother, and naturally there was no good-looking look on his face.

"Uncle, although I respect you, don't go too far!" Mu Xiaoxiao said in a deep voice.

After hearing Mu Xiaoxiao's words, Mu Huarong also frowned at first, and then sneered contemptuously: "What? Is it wrong for me to invite your friend to the Mu family's banquet? Xiaoxiao? Although you have enlisted in the army and become a devourer, you need to train often, but I think, how can you lose the cultivation and etiquette you have been training since childhood? ”

"Since you know that I am your uncle, you still speak so politely? Are you our peers? ”

Although Mu Huarong didn't slap the table and glare, his words naturally revealed the momentum of a superior, and he looked very unangry and arrogant.

It's just that Mu Xiaoxiao seems to be determined to turn over the table directly today......

"Although he is an elder, he is an elder who is good at playing tricks, where is this kind of elder worthy of being polite to a junior?"

"Don't tell me, you don't know the relationship between me and Zhang He, we have a bet in the study, is it interesting to play with the scenes at your banquet today?"

"Let me tell you clearly, Zhang He is my boyfriend and my Mu Xiaoxiao's lover, don't say that you oppose it, even if all the elders of the Mu family oppose it, including my parents, it's useless! Because he is the one I have chosen! ”

After finishing speaking, Mu Xiaoxiao looked directly at Zhang He affectionately, and asked softly, "...... you?"

However, before Mu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Zhang He stood up directly and hugged her into his arms.

After about a few seconds, the two of them parted lips, and a touch of tenderness appeared in Zhang He's eyes: "Needless to say, even if you are the enemy of the whole world, as long as you are always concerned about me, I will never give up, not to mention, there are fewer enemies around me?" ”

Accompanied by Zhang He's slightly playful words, Mu Xiaoxiao knew the identity of the enemy in his words, which was precisely to echo the Mu family in Fang Cai's own words.

Just as Zhang He's voice fell, Mu Huarong finally stopped maintaining his demeanor, but slapped the table angrily and scolded angrily: "Presumptuous! Mu Xiaoxiao, let me tell you, the gambling in the study is just a child's play to appease you, as long as you are still my Mu family's child, I am still the eldest son and heir of the Mu family, I have made your marriage! ”

Speaking of emotion, even Mu Huarong's hysterical expression revealed a touch of ruthlessness, accompanied by foaming at the mouth, it was obvious that he had now completely got rid of the disguise of his former elders, revealing angry minions.

In the next second, Mu Xiaoxiao stared at Mu Huarong with both eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Since this is the case, then from today onwards, I will break away from the identity of the Mu family and be willing to be an ordinary person!" ”

After finishing speaking, Mu Xiaoxiao looked directly at Zhang He affectionately and said, "Let's go!" ”

With her words, Zhang He stretched out his hand to grab his sister Zhang Luoyi, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and after glancing at Mu Huarong with contempt, he got up and left directly with the two daughters!

It's just that just when the three of them had just walked out a few steps and had not left the banquet hall, Mu Huarong slapped the table again......

Immediately, in the shocked eyes of everyone, several inner doors in the banquet hall were opened, and at least a dozen devourers in black and red military uniforms rushed out from inside, and these people did not look at Chen Fu, the chief housekeeper in charge of the security of Duke Mu's Mansion, but at Mu Huarong who was in a wheelchair!

"The Mu family can't tolerate a rebel girl like you, take her down for me, lock her up and reflect on it!"

Almost as Mu Huarong's words fell, Zhang He's feet suddenly burst out with a purple-red halo, and his eyes quickly turned around the room, and he locked the nearest inner room.

Immediately, Zhang He's feet suddenly stepped on the spot, his body flashed, and he rushed in directly with the two girls, closed the door, and stood alone at the door.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at the more than ten devourers, and said fiercely: "I want to see, who of you dares to do it today?" ”
