mu yichen nodded ever so slightly. ” i understand. it seems like your sister is very possibly living in T city. i’ll help you investigate this matter. ” if you need anything, be it manpower or information, you can tell me. i’ll do my best to cooperate.”
young master mu agreed very quickly.
whether it was from the perspective of the relationship between the two families or from the perspective of political interests, he had no choice but to help.
fu linchen heaved a sigh of relief and said sincerely, ” “then i’ll thank you in advance. as long as you can find my sister, my father and i will definitely reward you handsomely.”
mu yichen waved his hand nonchalantly. ” you’re treating me as an outsider by saying that. ” with the relationship between our two families, your sister is no different from my sister. it’s only right for me to help you find her. “
hearing this, fu linchen’s expression relaxed a little. he looked at him and smiled.
“it’s not the same, how can it be the same? yichen, have you forgotten? back then, our two families had a good relationship, and my mother and your mother often kept in touch. when my mother was pregnant with my sister, madam mu even said that it would be better for our two families to have an arranged marriage, and let my sister marry you when she grows up …”
“speaking of which, if … if these accidents didn’t happen, you would be my brother-in-law now.”
“this … cough cough!”
mu yichen was holding a cup of tea and drinking it. he almost spat out the tea in his mouth when he heard that.
“what … what brother-in-law did you say?”
he choked and coughed for a while before he recovered. he quickly corrected fu linchen.
” young master fu, you’re wrong. what happened back then was just a joke made by the elders of the two families. how can it be true? “
fu linchen smiled. ” it’s not a joke. our families are so close. in order to maintain the alliance, it’s normal for marriage to happen. ” besides, my father also said that you were very willing to do so in the past. every time she comes to our house, the first thing she does is to look at my mother’s stomach. she even said that she wanted to wait for my sister to give birth and marry her!”
mu yichen’s incomparably handsome face blushed in embarrassment. he hastily lowered his head to cover his mouth and coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment.
“i was young and ignorant back then, so please don’t take it to heart, young master fu. i’m a man with a daughter now.”
he didn’t want to continue dwelling on this issue, so he quickly changed the topic. ” by the way, young master fu, you said that you came to T city because you have two things to do. finding your sister is one of them, what about the other?”
fu linchen’s serious attitude changed and he lazily pointed at the young woman who had been sitting next to him without saying a word.
“oh, the second thing is much simpler,” he said casually. this is my cousin fu jiatong, you’ve met her a few times at the ball before. i wonder if young master mu has any impression of her?”
mu yichen furrowed his brows ever so slightly and shook his head. ” i … i’ve never noticed that. “
fu jiatong sat up straight and stared unblinkingly at mu yichen’s perfect side profile. her face was filled with anticipation.
her expression turned gloomy after she heard mu yichen’s reply.
fu linchen also choked.
this cousin of his was the most famous socialite in the imperial capital. not only did she come from an amazing family background, but she also did not lose to anyone in terms of beauty and talent.
