Chapter 491: Chapter 491: What a Heartless Woman

After all, they were both from the Mu Family, so Xu Zhiqiang would surely follow Mu Chen’s instructions.

Yet when she later noticed Mu Huaner’s gaze flickering, she didn’t think too much of it.

But whether it was Mu Huaner or Mu Chen, once Mu Chen’s crimes, the mastermind behind the murder of her mother, were exposed, the truth would gradually surface.

Seeing Yan Qianyi so determined, Mu Yunlie no longer opposed her. “All right, but you must promise me to be careful and inform me immediately if anything happens.”

He really didn’t want her to handle such matters while pregnant.

But now that he understood her personality, nothing could stop her if she wanted to do something; she would sneak and do it anyway.

It was better to just support her directly.

Yan Qianyi nodded happily, “No problem! For this period, you assist the Commander with the Morris Empire’s affairs, and leave the Mu Family’s matters to me. Let’s sleep!”

After speaking, Yan Qianyi’s body slid down and she burrowed into the bedcovers.

Mu Yunlie embraced her soft body as a flame ignited within him once again.

Thinking of her pregnancy and that it was not good for her to be overly agitated, he suppressed his urges with difficulty and held her as they peacefully fell asleep.

The next day, when Yan Qianyi awoke, Mu Yunlie had already left the house.

After she freshened up and went downstairs, Aunt Xue saw her smiling face, “Miss, you and the son-in-law came back together this time, are your feelings restored?”

In the morning when Mu Yunlie left, Aunt Xue had noticed that he was beaming.

And Yan Qianyi’s mood seemed very good too.

Yan Qianyi said, “Our feelings have always been great, why would there need to be any restoration?”

Aunt Xue smiled and nodded, “Yes, Miss and the son-in-law have the best relationship.”

Aunt Xue was sincerely happy that the young couple had reconciled.

“By the way, Aunt Xue, make some delicious food for lunch. I’m inviting Chu Hua over to eat.”

“Sure, you should go have breakfast quickly; it’s already past ten.”

Yan Qianyi sat at the dining table, eating while she sent a voice message to Yan Chuhua.

She knew that Yan Chuhua was staying in the Royal Palace during the winter break, and since she had nothing else to do, had been clamoring to visit her every day but had been refused.

Once the voice message was connected, Yan Qianyi asked, “Do you have time today?”

Yan Chuhua exclaimed with joy, “Ah, does Her Majesty the Queen finally have time to grace me with her presence?”

“I need your help with something tonight.”

“What is it?”

“Come over first, then I’ll tell you.”

“Okay, I’m setting off now. Should I call Ziyu along?”

“There’s no need; this isn’t something he can help with,” Yan Qianyi was saying when something suddenly occurred to her, “Bring Xiaoguang and Yun Mu as well, I’ll need their help too.”

“Got it! I’ll let them know.”

After finishing the voice message with Yan Chuhua, Yan Qianyi sent another to Old Master Mu.

After politely inquiring about his wellbeing, she told Old Master Mu that she would be visiting the Mu Family to see him that evening.

Old Master Mu was very pleased and told her to come over early.

Having arranged everything, a smile of strategic planning appeared on Yan Qianyi’s lips.

She had made a point of letting Old Master Mu know in advance that she would be visiting the Mu Family that evening because she knew that whenever she and Ah Lie went back, in order to cultivate their bond with the Mu Family, he would call the whole family together for dinner.

Tonight, in front of everyone, she would expose Mu Chen’s crime of plotting against his own brother!

“Aunt Xue,” Yan Qianyi called out, “we’ll need an extra meal at noon. Xiaoguang and Yun Mu will be coming too.”

“Ah, alright!” Aunt Xue responded from afar.

The reason for inviting Xue Xiaoguang and Yun Mu over was due to other arrangements.

After breakfast, Yan Qianyi went back to the lab to continue her research.

It wasn’t long before Yan Chuhua and the others arrived, even earlier than she had anticipated.

Xia Ziyu was also there.

Yan Qianyi was surprised, “Why are you here too?”

Xia Ziyu was annoyed, “You invite them over for a meal and don’t call me! If I hadn’t overheard Chu Hua and you on the phone just by chance, I wouldn’t have known!”

Upon hearing this, Yun Mu’s gaze suddenly swept towards Yan Chuhua and Xia Ziyu, “You were together this morning?”

Otherwise, how would Xia Ziyu happen to be right next to Yan Chuhua while she was on the call with Yan Qianyi?

Yan Chuhua paused, gave Xia Ziyu a glare, and then smiled, explaining to Yun Mu, “No, we were both out shopping and happened to run into each other.”

She absolutely couldn’t let Yun Mu know that she lived in the Royal Palace and ate with Xia Ziyu every day.

If Yun Mu found out about her arranged marriage with Xia Ziyu, her love hadn’t even sprouted and it would already be strangled in the cradle.

“Really?” Yun Mu smiled, “That’s quite a coincidence.”

“It is quite a coincidence,” Yan Chuhua quickly changed the subject and said to Yan Qianyi, “Qianyi, Ziyu shamelessly insisted on following me here.”

Xia Ziyu pouted, “You have a meal behind my back, don’t I deserve an explanation?”

Yan Qianyi helplessly said, “I have some things I needed their help with, so I invited them over for a meal.”

“I just did you a big favor, and you don’t invite me for a meal? Truly a heartless woman, only knows how to cross the river and tear down the bridge. Safe back home, and you don’t even tell me,” Xia Ziyu reprimanded.

Yan Chuhua and the others didn’t understand what Xia Ziyu was talking about.

Xue Xiaoguang asked, “Sis, you went on a long trip?”

“Yeah, I went to the Morris Empire.”

Yan Chuhua looked disheartened, “Then why didn’t you tell us? I’ve never even been to the Morris Empire, and I asked you to travel with me during the winter break. You said you didn’t have time. If you had told us earlier, we could have gone with you.”

“I wasn’t out for fun, I had to see my brother, and it wouldn’t have been convenient to take you all.”

“Alright,” Yan Chuhua still felt a bit disappointed.

This winter break, she had been living in the Federation Empire’s Royal Palace every day, with so many rules to follow, not only having to greet the King and Queen daily but also pretending to develop a relationship with Xia Ziyu.

Boring to death!

“Qianyi, what do you need our help with?” Yun Mu asked.

“Let’s go sit down first, Aunt Xue has already prepared the fruits and snacks,” Yan Qianyi led them toward the living room.

Once everyone sat down on the sofa, Xue Xiaoguang couldn’t wait to ask, “Sis, come on, tell us. I’m dying of curiosity.”

“I need you and Yun Mu to go to another planet to fetch someone for me,” Yan Qianyi pulled up Li Ying’s profile, “Her, a former nurse from Yan Hospital.”

“That’s it?” Xue Xiaoguang said in a bored tone, “I thought it was going to be some exciting big deal.”

“It’s not a trivial matter; this is very important. I don’t trust anyone else to handle it; you must bring her back safely,” Yan Qianyi insisted seriously, “There could be danger along the way.”

Now, Mu Huaner knew about the past as well, and who knows if she had told Mu Chen.

She was worried that Mu Chen, in order to hide his crimes, might harm Li Ying.

Hence, she couldn’t rest easy letting Li Ying come alone to be a witness.

Xiaoguang was fast, and Yun Mu had precognition abilities. The two of them had developed a good rapport, so safely bringing Li Ying to the Capital Star shouldn’t be a problem.
