Chapter 426 Mu Family
Yu Mu felt warm in his heart and nodded, "Okay".
In fact, he had already decided to recognize Prince De. This was the best solution from any point of view, but his sister still wanted to give him a chance to change his mind at this moment... In his sister's heart, their wishes always took priority.
But precisely because of this, he has to acknowledge this relationship. Only with the help of King De's power can he become stronger and better protect his sister.
Prince De nodded with satisfaction, and looked up at Mu Hao with a warning look, letting him know what was going on.
He gently stretched out his big hand. Yu Mu knew that he had difficulty moving, so he took two steps forward on his own initiative. Prince De smiled even more deeply and gently patted his round little head.
Although he had never been a father, he tried his best to imitate the demeanor of a loving father and said gently, "You have done very well. It was not easy for my sister to raise you, and you are grateful and know how to respect my wishes, which is also good. Even after knowing my identity, I didn't see any intention of clinging to me in your eyes. At your age, it is rare."
In Yu Mu's short life, the role of father has always been absent. He is not used to this kind of closeness, but he doesn't hate it. He thought about it and decided to tell the truth, "...I also want to get close to him. Only if I become the son of King De can I better protect my sister. But please rest assured, I will take care of you in your old age."
The new father and son stood and sat, looking at each other. Yu Mu spoke bluntly, but his eyes were open.
"Hahahahaha, great! He's worthy of being Yixia's child, great!" King De suddenly laughed, and patted his little head a few times with satisfaction. His slightly red eyes made Shen Yu moved. If the original body's mother had married him, she would surely be very happy.
Seeing that the family was only concerned with loving each other, Mu Hao was so angry that his teeth itched and said, "Hey, I'm here to deal with the affairs of the Mu family and those noble families, okay? Don't take over the show!"
"What? Are you trying to show off your presence?" Shen Yu understood. This guy was definitely jealous! !
Lu Yingxing said calmly, "When King De left Luo City, this had not happened yet."
Mu Hao, "…………" The secret agency is so annoying! Are we allowed to keep secrets anymore?
This scene made old King Zhuo feel extremely sad. Look, his son didn't even look at him after he came in. He took the initiative to walk to Shen Hua and sit down, perfectly acting as an invisible man. After all, until now, he still felt embarrassed when he saw his daughter-in-law. Was he feeling guilty?
After introducing her brother to Prince De, Shen Yu looked at Mu Ruilin and Mu Hao again. She rolled her eyes and said, "Uncle Master, your kindness is really not rewarded. Am I not stalling for time to give you a chance to calm down?"
"Rui Lin, come here. This person's surname is also Mu..." She looked at Mu Hao uncertainly and asked, "If I remember correctly, uncle, you once said that you are from a side branch?" Shen Yu pushed her brother and sent him directly in front of the man.
Mu Hao reached out and supported the man. The sudden physical contact made them both choke. No matter how you put it, it was as if they had suddenly touched a ghost.
In this vast world, two orphans of the Mu family, one old and one young, met for the first time! !
They had mistakenly thought that they were the only ones left in the world, but with a twist of fate, they suddenly discovered each other's existence. Although the blood bond had become thinner and almost nonexistent over time, they were still of the same origin, and this feeling was wonderful.
It was like finally finding a fellow ship in the vast ocean, and the impact of "finally not being alone" came like a surging tide. There was excitement, nervousness, unfamiliarity, uneasiness, and helplessness, but more importantly, this connection gave them an unprecedented strong bond and sense of identity.
"Why are they suddenly looking at each other affectionately?" Fu Yunxiu suddenly leaned over and quietly asked the people who were sitting on the stone benches pretending to be dead.
Shen Hua glared at him unhappily. For the first time, he found this young man very annoying. Although the Mu Dynasty had let down their ancestors, this only child was the one that their Lu family had saved with all their efforts. He had been hiding in the Ji family with the Mu family, but knowing and seeing it with their own eyes were two different things.
He has been avoiding her these days. On the one hand, what happened back then has nothing to do with this little kid, and on the other hand, he doesn't know what attitude to take towards it.
Those so-called former aristocratic families, do they really think he doesn't know what they are up to? They were the ones who spread the rumor that the Ji and Su bloodlines opened the treasure, because they just couldn't stand the two families doing well. Now they found that there are still people from the Mu family, and they have a close relationship with these two families...
Shen Hua looked up at the sky, afraid that there might be some changes in this matter... No wonder the old fox of the Su family had clearly arrived in Zhuocheng but had not shown up yet, but their Lu family was not a soft persimmon that could be easily bullied!
Shen Yu looked at them and felt a headache coming from their visit. He tentatively asked, "How about...you go down and talk privately?"
Mu Hao was the first to react. He shook his head and said, "We are the only two left in the Mu family. We can talk about anything." If they really avoided the crowd and talked in private, it would be easier for others to talk about them.
He lowered his head and looked at the young man. Logically speaking, this young man was the true descendant of the family, and he was just a side branch. The man in front of him should be considered his master, but seeing his thin figure tense, he felt sorry for him. He was just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child...
He imitated the way Prince De had just done, gently stretched out his big hand, and tentatively placed it on his head. Seeing that he did not resist, he finally showed his first genuine smile of the day, "My family is a branch of the Mu family, belonging to the Shadow lineage, and has always been responsible for protecting the safety of the royal family. Would you... let me stay with you?"
Shen Yu was surprised. She thought that it was just for convenience that this man served as a guard beside Prince De, but she didn't expect that this was actually a family tradition.
The so-called shadow lineage of the royal family is different from the secret guards, nor the dragon guards. Their real use should be substitutes. The princes choose a person who is closest to their own shadow to grow up. The shadow is born to be the second life of the main person. If there is danger, he will go forward, and if someone has to die, the shadow will die first.
When Mu Hao said "stay by his side", he definitely didn't mean that. He probably just wanted to stay by his side and protect him.
Seeing Mu Ruilin suddenly looking at her with trust and inquiry in his eyes, Shen Yu sighed, "Uncle Mu, you don't have to be like this..." She walked behind her brother, put her hands on his shoulders, pushed him forward another step, and said with a smile, "Uncle Mu, our Ruilin is not short of guards now, and he is not short of relatives, but he is still short of a relative with the surname Mu. Excuse me, are you willing to take on this responsibility?"
