"Hey!"
Ziyue struggled for a while before Muchen subdued her.
But Ziyue didn't like that he smelled of sweat after he had been out the whole day, so he didn't do anything.
Muchen showered, and the two ate together before he said he was going to see Jueyin.
"I want to go too."
Ziyue had been planning on changing into her pajamas and resting, but she stood up at once when she heard that Muchen wanted to see Jueyin.
"No need. Wait for me to come back." Muchen pressed her shoulders gently. His expression was firm.
Ziyue's lips twitched, and she didn't move.
…
Although Jueyin broke his arm, it didn't affect his usual ways much.
When Muchen went to see him, he was flirting with a new female servant.
The female servant was a Country J native and wasn't all that new. She had been working in Mogwin Castle for almost a year.
"Massage this side for me. Just like that. Ooh… ah… that's the right amount of pressure." The female servant had great massage techniques, and Jueyin was at ease. He took advantage of her and groped her hand as he closed his eyes comfortably.
When he heard the words 'Master Muchen' outside the door, it was like he had been electrocuted. He sprang up at once.
It frightened the female servant who was massaging him.
The next moment, the door opened.
Muchen's tall figure appeared in the doorway.
His cold gaze swept the room and stopped on Jueyin.
The coldness in Muchen's eyes grew.
Then, Muchen strode toward Jueyin.
Jueyin couldn't help but gulp. With a smiling face, he said, "Ah, you… you've finished work, Muchen…"
He backed away as he spoke. It was evident he was terrified.
The female servants who served him stood at the side. They were intimidated by Muchen's demeanor and didn't dare to breathe too loudly.
Jueyin's attempt to win favor didn't improve Muchen's expression.
Muchen suddenly kicked Jueyin.
Thankfully, Jueyin was prepared, and Muchen didn't strike his broken arm.
But after that, Muchen kept kicking him. There was nowhere for him to hide.
Muchen kicked Jueyin's broken arm, and Jueyin wailed in pain.
The servants outside heard the noise inside, so someone went to look for Zheng.
After all, Zheng was the butler. They had to ask him how to deal with it.
Zheng, of course, informed Yuchuan.
Yuchuan didn't wait. He immediately hurried over with Zheng.
When he arrived, he saw Jueyin sitting on the floor, crying in pain. Yuchuan looked at Muchen, incensed. "What are you doing, Qin Muchen?!"
He looked furious and called Muchen by his full name.
Muchen raised his head and glanced at Yuchuan. Muchen had a cold and fearless expression. "You're here, Grandpa. These servants don't have great eyesight. I was just jostling around with Uncle Jueyin. Did they alert you about such a matter?"
When Muchen spoke, his gaze swept the room and fell on the female servant that was massaging Jueyin.
When Jueyin heard the words 'Uncle Jueyin,' his blood froze.
He looked like a sorry figure with his arm in a cast. He was clearly the one getting beat up. How could they be jostling around?
Before Yuchuan could say anything, Muchen walked over and helped Jueyin up. "Your arm is still broken. I already said it wasn't convenient to jostle, but you didn't want to listen."
Muchen paused momentarily and continued, "Don't do this next time. Sometimes I can't control my power."
Jueyin suffered in silence. This wasn't Muchen being unable to control his power. Muchen had been heavy-handed on purpose.
Jueyin felt like he couldn't move his other arm.
"Also…" Muchen seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He reached out and pulled the female servant that had been massaging Jueyin before throwing her in Zheng's direction. "Do as you see fit with this female servant, Mr. Qin. I haven't been here long, so I don't know how to deal with servants who neglect their duties and allow their masters to suffer such a serious injury."
His intention was clear. He wanted to make the female servant the main culprit of Jueyin's broken arm.
Jueyin couldn't help but turn his head. He couldn't bear to see Muchen lie shamelessly, but he didn't have the nerve to say that Ziyue had tripped him.
Otherwise, he would be the one to suffer, not the female servant.
He had known Muchen for quite some time, and they had an ordinary relationship, but he knew how vicious Muchen could be. With Muchen's return to Mogwin Castle, Muchen wouldn't allow Yuchuan to manipulate him easily.
Although Muchen spoke to Zheng, his gaze was directed straight at Yuchuan. Muchen's expression was incredibly piercing, as if he could see through Yuchuan's inner thoughts.
Yuchuan had come aggressively at first, but his expression couldn't help but weaken at the moment. He turned and looked at Zheng coldly. "Deal with the matters at home. Don't disappoint me."
Zheng bowed his head and said, "Yes."
After that, Yuchuan and Zheng left.
The two came and left in a rush.
Jueyin turned and looked at the other servants left trembling in the room. He said to them impatiently, "Get out.'"
It was as though the servants had received a great pardon. They quickly left and closed the door.
Only Jueyin and Muchen were left in the room. Jueyin told the ice-cold Muchen, "I didn't touch much of your wife. We were just having coffee in the coffee shop, but she made me break my arm. She's the one who went overboard!"
Upon hearing it, Muchen's eyes narrowed, and he said darkly, "Where did you touch her?"
"Um…" Jueyin felt he had said something he shouldn't have.
"Just her waist. It was just for a moment…" Jueyin saw that Muchen's expression was awfully stormy and couldn't help but take a few steps back. "Since I didn't expose her, let me off the hook just this once. Furthermore, this was the old geezer's idea. I was just going through the motions."
The first time he saw Ziyue, he felt she was breathtakingly beautiful, but he had never planned to do anything.
It was Yuchuan's idea for Jueyin to look for Ziyue today.
Muchen had taken Yuchuan for a ride at the banquet, so Yuchuan was annoyed about it. He naturally wanted to strike back.
Therefore, he thought of getting Jueyin to approach Ziyue to create rumors of her indiscretions.
But he missed out on something. Although Jueyin was attracted by beautiful women, he was more afraid of Muchen.
Therefore, he had just wanted to go through the motions. He hadn't actually wanted to make things difficult for Ziyue. He just wanted something to report back to Yuchuan, but he never imagined that Ziyue was such a vicious woman…
