Chapter 263: 253 Threats? Ying Zijin can handle it. [4 updates]
The auction was merely a platform provided by the Mu family and a few others; they weren’t truly the organizers.
Even if an antique was involved, Mu Heqing wouldn’t pay it much attention.
His heart was set on being a carefree hermit, just waiting to hand over the Mu family and drift away.
But because of Ying Zijin, Mu Cheng did pay special attention.
So, he too knew about the incidents that occurred at the auction.
Such matters, naturally, were not something Mu Cheng would bother Mu Heqing with.
But he believed that, with just a word from Ying Zijin, Mu Chenzhou would stand no chance of inheriting the Mu family.
It was only then that Mu Cheng came to ask.
Ying Zijin was sipping tea, and upon hearing him, she did not even pause, “Who?”
Mu Cheng: “…”
He had thought too much.
In Miss Ying’s eyes, sometimes even Mu Heqing was less important than snacks.
Let alone Mu Chenzhou.
How would she bother to hold someone unimportant in her mind?
That was quite pitiful.
Mu Cheng coughed and said earnestly, “No one, Miss Ying, let me open the snacks for you.”

Inside the private room.
After Fu Yunshen entered, he closed the door.
Mu Heqing chose this tea house partly because of its good soundproofing.
He sat cross-legged, thought for a while, and finally spoke, “I went to Shanghai City a few months ago and saw that your grandfather seemed to be alright, was it Xiao Ying who cured him?”
“Mhm,” Fu Yunshen replied indifferently, “I had already planned to give up.”
Not give up on Old Master Fu, but on himself.
“Luckily.” Mu Heqing sighed with relief, “Your grandfather was once under my command, it pained me to see him suffering from illness.”
The situation with Old Master Fu was different from his.
He had a series of health issues because he was shot in a place deviating from the heart.
Although Old Master Fu had also been injured on the battlefield, none were fatal, and at most he was just not as agile as an average person in his old age.
The thing that truly made life miserable for Old Master Fu was the overly domineering toxin.
Mu Heqing knew that Fu Yunshen had consulted doctors from the Ancient medical field, and they were among the most formidable ones.
Even Miss Meng who had been treating him previously couldn’t compare to them.
After all, some of these doctors were older than him, with experience and wisdom on their side.
And to get these doctors to leave the Ancient medical field was something he could not accomplish.
Especially the Meng Family, where direct lineage family members are known to be eccentric and would not give in to others’ requests.
Mu Heqing himself had asked Miss Meng to treat Mu Weifeng but was rejected.
Yet still, those extremely formidable doctors were not able to remove the toxin from Old Master Fu’s body.
Fu Yunshen’s eyelashes drooped, “Grandfather, it was for me.”
His lips curved slightly, still with that gentle arc, but his voice was cold, “Without me, he wouldn’t be like this.”
“The incident twenty years ago?” Mu Heqing frowned, “You were only two at that time, you couldn’t have stopped it.”
He took a deep breath, “It’s not just you. I wasn’t there, and just hearing about it later, even I developed a block in my heart.”
He couldn’t imagine how a two-year-old child managed to endure through that time.
Mu Heqing asked further, “Those people who went to the Fu family back then, have you not found them until now?”
“No,” Fu Yunshen chuckled lightly, “They haven’t come out again, but there are some traces.”
Mu Heqing frowned again, “If even you can’t find them, that’s not right…”
Twenty years ago, a large group of people had gone to the Fu family.
The toxin in Old Master Fu’s body appeared at that time.
He had also looked into the matter and came up empty-handed.
“Someone from the Ancient medical field is looking for you,” Mu Heqing shook his head, changing the subject, “Now that you have appeared in Imperial Capital, I guess it won’t be long before they come knocking.”
Fu Yunshen didn’t speak; his peach blossom eyes gazing down, the faint light flickered.
After thinking it over, Mu Heqing said, “There’s another thing I was hoping you could help with. When you go to the Ancient medical field, could you help me invite a doctor?”
“My grandson is not in the best of health and his condition has worsened recently.”
“Hmm?” Fu Yunshen’s lips curled up, “Isn’t Yaoyao there? The doctors from the Ancient medical field aren’t as skilled as her; she can do it.”
Mu Heqing waved his hand, “I don’t want to trouble her.”
Fu Yunshen didn’t refuse, “Alright, it can be done tonight. Let’s go together.”
