Chapter 312 Go to find Ying Hua
The food was served quickly.
The roasted venison is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Mu Yunyun didn't have much of an appetite, but she was happy to see him come in person and ate quite a bit.
"I'm planning to go to Fenglin. I'm afraid you'll have to work hard during this time."
Farming is a major undertaking.
If we don't reclaim the wasteland soon, planting will be delayed.
Do this sooner rather than later.
If she couldn't get any news, she had to go there in person.
"Go on with your business." Qi Yue didn't want her to delay important matters.
Mu Yunyun was still a little worried.
"You won't be gone for long. The cubs will be cared for by wet nurses, so you don't have to do everything yourself."
"Also, you've just finished your postpartum period and your body hasn't fully recovered yet, so you shouldn't be exposed to drafts or get chilled."
"It's too hot today. Even if you don't have an appetite, you should still eat something. I'll have Bai Sang'er stay. Her cooking is more to your liking."
"Oh, right, and..."
Qi Yue interrupted her as she continued rambling on and on.
"Alright, stop nagging. Go on your way. You don't need to worry about things at home."
"I'm not worried about home, I'm worried about you."
"you!"
Qi Yue glared at her.
Bai Sang'er tacitly walked out and closed the door.
Mu Yunyun took his hand and said, "I was worried about you."
She repeated the sentence, her eyes sincere and earnest.
"You tend to keep everything to yourself, and you always try to be strong and don't like to trouble others. I'm always worried about you after I leave, which is why I'm giving you a few more words of advice."
Her eyes were too intense.
Qi Yue, unusually, did not pull her hand away when Qi Yue was being stared at like that.
Mu Yunyun squeezed his hand.
"Did you hear me?"
"Okay, I heard you."
Mu Yunyun breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he had agreed.
She wrapped her arms around his waist and asked abruptly, "The cub isn't weaned yet, is it?"
Upon hearing her words, Qi Yue instinctively wanted to pull her hand back.
Mu Yunyun didn't give him a chance, leaning over him and whispering in his ear, "I'll help you one more time, hmm?"
"you!"
......
Western Sea Territory.
Fenglinzhou.
Fengyang City.
This place is adjacent to Wanxuan Mountain.
It is the place inside the belly of the phoenix and the unicorn.
Mu Yunyun visited once; the trees were very lush.
Fenglin reveres divine birds and forbids the capture of birds and beasts, which is why Shaoyi chose to live in seclusion here year-round.
On the streets, one can even see divine bird totems everywhere.
Among them, the Yingzhao clan emblem is the most prominent.
With the body of a horse, the face of a human, tiger stripes, and bird wings, it was majestic and awe-inspiring
"I've heard that the spring water in Phoenix Mountain is as good as wine. Since the clan leader is here, would you like to try some?" The young females asked with curiosity.
The male Nightbirds travel the world, trading far and wide, so they've seen it all. But this is the first time these little females have ventured so far.
Along the way, they were overwhelmed by the sights and sounds, and everything was new and exciting.
“The clan leader has come to Feng Lin to handle important matters,” Bai Sang’er reminded him.
She originally intended to stay in the clan, but Lord Qiyue wouldn't allow it, so she came along.
Upon hearing this, the little females looked disappointed.
Mu Yunyun is a little soft-hearted.
"Once we're done with our work, we can go for a good look around together. It won't take up much time anyway."
The little females' eyes lit up.
"Of course, the clan leader has important business to attend to. Once we find Lord Yinghua, all difficulties will naturally be resolved."
"That's right, with Lord Yinghua personally involved, there's definitely no problem."
"Once Lord Yinghua takes charge of Yuanzhou, let's see if those old guys still dare to bully us."
While everyone was chattering away, Mu Yunyun felt a little uncertain.
I don't know why, or maybe she's just overthinking it, but it doesn't feel as easy as they make it out to be.
Sure enough, when they found the main branch of the Yingzhao family, the gatekeeper was suddenly stunned.
"Dijiang clan?"
The young boy, dressed in an indigo short-sleeved shirt, had a very honest and simple appearance. He scratched his head and thought about it carefully.
"The day before yesterday, Lord Yinghua came to a banquet, but left without staying overnight."
what!
The little females looked at each other, not understanding what he meant.
What do you mean by leaving without staying overnight?
Mu Yunyun's heart skipped a beat, and she took a step forward.
"Lord Yinghua left the day before yesterday?"
“That’s right. Our young patriarch hosted a grand banquet the other day, and Lord Yinghua came to present his gifts and then left.” He added, “Is the lady from Yuanzhou? Should we ask our young patriarch?”
He shouldn't have said that.
Not just anyone can meet their young clan leader.
However, seeing Mu Yunyun looking travel-worn and anxious, he couldn't bear it and asked her another question.
As for whether it's enough, see the young clan chief.
That's not something he can decide.
Bai Sang'er quickly took out a pearl from her sleeve and handed it over.
"Please help us announce that we are from the Mu family of Yuanzhou, and we have urgent business to attend to."
"Wha...what!"
Yuanzhou!
Mu family!
"You are the Mu clan of Yuanzhou!"
The boy's voice cracked from shouting.
"The Mu clan of Yuanzhou who forged divine weapons?"
Forging divine weapons?
Mu Yunyun was a little embarrassed: "It's not a divine weapon, it's just an iron tool."
"Why wouldn't it count?"
It is well known that the feather swords forged by the Mu clan are popular throughout the Nine Provinces. The swords are light and the blades are sharp. The women of the clans are all fighting tooth and nail to get their hands on them.
And then there's the Panlong Spear, which is even more imposing and awe-inspiring, making him quite envious.
Moreover, the young clan leader has yet to have an heir, and the Yingzhao clan's status in Fenglin is far less than before.
Thanks to this cooperation with the Mu clan, they have regained their confidence. They have held no fewer than dozens of banquets this month alone. Clans that had been drifting apart have started to interact again, and ambitious clans in Fenglin Continent have gradually taken over and are not daring to make any moves.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Mu family of Zunyuanzhou were honored guests of the Yingzhao family.
"Please come in quickly, young clan leader. He will be overjoyed if he knew you were coming."
"and many more."
Suddenly, a voice stopped everyone.
The boy stopped, and upon seeing the person who had arrived, quickly bowed.
"Lord Tianji."
Mu Yunyun also looked at her.
The newcomer was about seventeen or eighteen years old. His eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Ying Rong's, but he had a sharper look that made him seem unapproachable.
Yingyu looked Mu Yunyun up and down.
To be precise, they were examining the feather skirt woven from dragon silk that she was wearing.
The dragon silk woven by the ancient mermaids was dazzling and extremely extravagant.
Jiang Shuiqi stopped weaving silk two years ago, so the fact that she can wear such a heavily woven feather skirt is enough to show her status.
However, Ying-yu didn't care about any of that.
"How rude of you! Who are you to expect to see my mother-in-law without even a formal invitation?"
Mother-in-law?
Mu Yunyun suddenly realized.
So this is the child that Yingrong mentioned, the one her cousin was about to be adopted by.
The boy clearly hadn't expected this mishap.
He quickly explained, "Reporting to Lady Shenji, the Mu family of Yuanzhou has come to pay their respects. It is alright even if they do not have a formal invitation."
"Yuanzhou Mu Clan?" Yingyu wanted to laugh: "So what? They are just outsiders who only have some honor because of my Yingzhao Clan. They come to my ancestral home without even greeting me. It's really rude of them to come uninvited like this."
"Lord Tianji!"
Upon hearing this, the boy was so frightened that his soul almost left his body.
What does it mean that the Mu family only received some honors because of the Yingzhao family?
Without the Mu clan, those old clans of Fenglin would have been eyeing them covetously, wanting to divide them up completely long ago!
"This lady is a distinguished guest of the young clan leader. Lady Shenji should treat her with the utmost courtesy."
"What do you mean by treating her with courtesy? I've heard that the Mu clan is merely a first-tier Snow Weasel clan. With such a status, she dares to ask me to treat her with courtesy? What a joke!"
"Young! Shut up!"
Hearing the commotion, Yingrong rushed over, and upon hearing these words, her face turned green with anger.
"You have no manners! This is how I've always taught you. Apologize right now!"
"Apologize! What do I need to apologize for!" Yingyu exploded. "Don't think you can order me around just because you're my mother. My mother is still here. Who do you think you are!"
If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have been separated from her mother.
She hates her, despises her, and just wants to make things difficult for her.
She wasn't stupid; of course she knew the Mu family's place in her heart. She wanted to offend them completely and see how long they could be so smug.
Yingrong's face darkened.
Mu Yunyun stepped forward and took her hand: "Alright, it's all a misunderstanding. I have something urgent to discuss with you. It's not convenient to talk here. Why don't we go to a private room to discuss this?"
With this explanation, Yingrong's expression softened, and he gave her a grateful smile.
"Alright."
Once they arrived at the main courtyard and dismissed everyone, Yingrong finally showed signs of exhaustion.
"You're making fun of me. That's just her personality. She's full of bad ideas, and I can't do anything about it."
"It's nothing, just a small matter." She understood that being a mother-in-law wasn't easy.
“You don’t know, she hates me to the core. According to clan rules, adopted children should live in the main family, and the birth mother should go to the territory to avoid suspicion. She hates me for separating her from her mother and for making me unhappy at every turn. I don’t know how many people she has offended.”
Mu Yunyun was a little unsure how to respond.
"Who was that boy who came to my Mu family last time to deliver the pearl?"
She heard from the Eagle Clan that the old patriarch gave that boy a Panlong Spear, and that the boy also called Yingrong his "mother."
"You mean Yingxu?" she explained, "He and Yingyu were born of the same mother, but his father's family was prominent, and my mother was afraid that something might happen, so she adopted him as well."
this......
"There's no other way. Even though my cousin and I are from the same mother, we still have to be on guard. This is quite common among clans."
Mu Yunyun sighed, "That's true."
"Alright, let's not talk about that. What important matter has happened that requires you to come in person?"
When it came to serious matters, Mu Yunyun didn't intend to hide anything.
"You know about the farming incident. There was a harvest a while ago, and all the clans wanted to cultivate the wasteland. However, the division of territories is giving me a terrible headache. I wanted to discuss it with Lord Yinghua, but he came here instead, so I rushed over."
That's what it was for.
Ying Rong understood.
"It's a small matter. I'll have my men investigate Ying Hua's whereabouts. If they have any news, they'll let you know immediately. You can stay here for the next few days, keep me company, and talk to me."
"Then trouble you."
Yingrong smiled reproachfully: "What are you saying? What trouble or not trouble? I am the mother of your cub, what kind of relationship do we have?"
