Chapter 311: Struck gold on March 11?

Mu Hanyan rolled her eyes, indeed, good news stays in, but bad news spreads far. Mu Siyi’s notorious reputation had even reached Xiaoyang City. However, it seemed that the news had only circulated among the major families, as ordinary citizens remained unaware. Otherwise, when she entered the city, the simple townsfolk would have been ready to greet her with rotten eggs and spoiled vegetables.

"What?" The steward was utterly confused. Heishi City’s number one playboy, Mu Siyi, followers—what was this all about?

"No one came back and told you? Ah, that’s right, you were recuperating. Let me fill you in then, I just lost a wager to him, this Mu Siyi, oh, no, I mean Mu Han Yan, Young Master Mu. From now on, I have to serve him, toil like an ox and horse for him. So, you’d better serve him well and not give me any trouble," Jiang Yuzhe said.

"What? This is outrageous, absolutely outrageous! You’re the Changsun of the Jiang Family, destined to inherit the family business. How could you possibly become someone else’s follower? No, absolutely not!" The steward finally understood and was so agitated he almost leapt up.

"Don’t forget your place. Is my business any of your concern!" Jiang Yuzhe’s eyebrows shot up in a stern rebuke.

Jiang Yuzhe seemed calm and gentle in front of Mu Hanyan just a moment ago, but once angered, his demeanor quickly turned fiercely violent and somewhat imperious. No wonder these sons of noble families could so easily earn the reputation of playboys. Their pride and arrogance were ingrained deep in their bones from birth.

"This subordinate has been impertinent. Please reconsider this matter, Young Master. Even if this were taken to Lord City Master, I doubt it would be acceptable," the steward, realizing his rudeness, hastily apologized and then pleaded with a heavy heart.

"I will explain everything once I return. You need not worry about this matter; just focus on resting and recuperating," Jiang Yuzhe said dismissively with a wave of his hand.

The steward wanted to persuade him further, but seeing his impatience made the steward not wish to embarrass himself further. He sighed and turned to walk away slowly, shaking his head subtly as he went.

"My apologies for the servant’s ignorance; please forgive us. Let’s continue our meal, and don’t be shy," Jiang Yuzhe said, bowing slightly to Mu Hanyan and the others.

Mu Hanyan glanced at Jiang Yuzhe, feeling slightly moved.

In her previous life, she only knew of Jiang Yuzhe when his Ghost Sword was renowned far and wide. To her knowledge, although he was from the Jiang Family of Zhongling City, he held no particular status within the clan—not a Family Head, not even an elder.

She had thought he was just another child born out of wedlock, ostracized like many other illegitimate children in noble families, and only after relentless self-improvement did he carve out his own realm. This was the very reason why Mu Hanyan had considered recruiting him.

However, after hearing the steward’s words, Mu Hanyan realized that she had oversimplified Jiang Yuzhe’s identity. The Changsun of the Jiang Family, the future family heir, couldn’t simply become her follower so easily—even if he himself was willing, his family wouldn’t agree.

It wasn’t that noble family’s sons couldn’t become followers of others. If one possessed enough strength, even a Beijing Family head would willingly serve as a follower. But at least for now, Mu Hanyan didn’t believe she had the strength or reputation that would make the Jiang Family willingly entrust their future leader to her.

She thought she had discovered a treasure, but it now seemed she had picked up trouble instead.

Suddenly, Mu Hanyan felt that Jiang Yuzhe’s readiness to honor the agreement might not be as simple as she had thought. Was she being duped by this man? A suspicion grew within her. No matter, she thought. I’ll face the coming challenges head-on. If he’s trying to trick me, he’ll find neither door nor window to do so!
