Chapter 30: Second Master of Mu Pushed the Blame
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After being pampered for a while by Uncle He, Mu Ruishu finally stopped crying.
He wiped his face with his chubby hand and asked with a hopeful tone, “Is that true, Grandpa He? Is my tooth growing out very soon?”
“Yes it is true. It will grow out very soon,” Uncle He said cheerfully.
After receiving Uncle He’s confirmation, Mu Ruishu stopped being as sad.
Then he opened his mouth and showed the crack of the missing front tooth.
At this moment, Uncle He saw that what he had lost was the front tooth. That explained why he cried so loudly.
However, there was no blood in his mouth, so the tooth fell out in a natural way.
Uncle He wrapped up the front tooth with a handkerchief, consoled the young master for another while, and was about to leave.
Then he turned around and got stopped by a chubby hand.
“What more can I do for you, young master?”
Uncle He bent down and caressed Mu Ruishu’s fluffy head in an affable way.
“Grandpa He, she is a bad woman. Can you make her leave?” Mu Ruishu looked at the butler with his head highly raised, looking quite pitiful.
In the past, Uncle He would feel so worried about this young master when he showed that pitiful face.
But now, he was a young master with a missing front tooth, and suddenly, he found the whole image very funny. He almost burst into laughter!
But in order to not harm the young master’s heart, Uncle He had to restrain himself.
However, Uncle He made an embarrassed face at Mu Tianyan by the young master’s request.
He was the butler of the Mu Family, and Mu Tianyan respected him greatly. Yet, he knew exactly which position he was in, what he should care about, and what he should not.
Instead of answering the butler, Mu Tianyan turned to Lu Zijia who was busy eating cheerfully.
Lu Zijia, who had sensed his eyes upon her, looked up as she blinked, asking what was going on in a silent way.
“You caused the mess, so you should answer for that,” Mu Tianyan snapped coldly as he continued to eat with chopsticks.
Seeing Lu Zijia’s satisfied look, Mu Tianyan suddenly felt like eating something too.
Mu Tianyan did not restrain himself from being affected by others. Instead, he let himself get dominated by the feelings.
But he could not figure out what made him behave that way.
Lu Zijia, who received that straight gaze from the young master and the butler, turned speechless.
What did he mean that she had caused this mess? She had been the victim, right from the beginning, okay?
Inwardly, she was extremely annoyed, but Lu Zijia still started to try to do something about it.
She was not in her own home! Also, Mu Tianyan was almost her savior.
“Uncle Butler, you have to believe me! I am innocent! Your young master came biting me and lost his front tooth!” Lu Zijia said as she raised her left arm and showed it to Uncle He.
Uncle He took a look at her arm, which was thin yet did not have any trace of being bitten, let alone a tooth print!
Lu Zijia noticed that too. She instantly withdrew her arm, feeling regretful inside – she should have saved some evidence!
But without the evidence, she still had a witness, right?
“I am recovering fast, so the tooth print is gone. But I have a witness that can prove what your young master did to me.”
“Right, Second Master of Mu?”
Lu Zijia said to Uncle He casually before turning to Mu Tianyan.
Mu Tianyan stopped staring at the traceless left arm of hers, and his face sank. It was impossible to figure out what he was thinking at the moment.
Instead of answering Lu Zijia, Mu Tianyan did not deny anything either. Obviously, he admitted that in silence.
“See, I told you!” Lu Zijia showed her hands, expressing her innocence.
“But your young master shed so many tears… I will give him one fruit as compensation.”
As he was speaking, Lu Zijia pretended to reach for her pocket whilst actually digging out one of the Qingling Magica Fruits from the Ancient Space.
“Here you are, don’t shed any more tears. You are a man, so don’t act like a girl by shedding tears.”
Lu Zijia moved a little and stuffed the Qingling Magica Fruiti into his chubby hands.
