In Shanghai City, a prosperous area in the southeastern suburbs, a large house stands out among the crowded residential areas. The inside of the big house is splendid with golden walls and is extremely luxurious, but outside it is quiet and elegant, full of flowers and greenery, like a peach land.
This large mansion is located in a prosperous suburb, but it occupies a large area of land. The surrounding buildings have been cleaned up, and flowers and plants have been planted to return to nature. The level of luxury is outrageous.
But even the angry young people from Nan Piao who had to squeeze into a cramped rented house did not dare to openly complain about the owner of this big house. Even the arrogant upstarts worth billions did not dare to covet this big house. .
Because this big mansion is the "Prince's Mansion".
The reason why "Prince's Mansion" is in quotation marks is that this house was once the residence of a miserable prince who was exiled from the imperial capital to the south. However, the era of imperial power ended completely more than 1,500 years ago. The so-called "Prince", like "eunuch", has become history.
The era of imperial power was overthrown, and the last generation of the royal family would naturally suffer. Not to mention the tragic ending of the royal family, but what is interesting is that the prince, who was suspected of having improper blood because the queen cuckolded the emperor, was exiled to a place far away from the northern imperial capital. South and escaped.
What's even more interesting is that this prince endured humiliation, endured hardships, and secretly continued the bloodline of the royal family. After decades of hard work, he re-established a new family.
This family has continued to grow over the next 1,500 years, and is now one of the most prominent families in the Xia Kingdom. Although it did not dare to claim the name of a royal family in the democratic era, its family's strength is known as "Royal" is not an exaggeration.
This mansion witnessed the fall and re-emergence of the royal family, from a simple thatched cottage to a magnificent mansion. It really deserves the name "Prince's Mansion".
—The Li family of the Southern Emperor was the former royal family.
This large mansion is the prince's residence of Li Wuyu, the only heir to the Li family.
However, the number one young man in the Xia Kingdom, who was worthy of the title of "Prince" regardless of his family background, talent, or popularity, was currently lying in a sandalwood coffin in the hall of the Prince's Mansion and fell into a deep sleep forever.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening, and the night was getting darker. The mansion was brightly lit but unusually quiet.
In the spacious and bright hall, the sofas and tables used to receive guests have been vacated at this time, and only the coffin is placed. Even the mourning wreaths sent by various forces are not eligible to enter this temporarily arranged mourning hall.
Probably in order not to disturb Li Wuyu's "rest", the servants were sent away early, and those guests who came to say "condolences" were also turned away.
So that at this time, there were only some relatives of the Li family who were relatively close to Li Wuyu left in the mansion.
In the mourning hall, there were only two relatives who were closest to Li Wuyu—Li Wuyu's biological mother, Mu Chaorong, and his younger sister, Mu Lengxi.
Mu Chaorong is in her forties to middle age, but time has not left many traces on her face. Her beautiful face looks like that of a woman in her twenties, and she has beautiful silver hair like Mu Lengxi. But she cut her hair short and looked more energetic.
But at this time, Mu Chaorong was no longer as radiant as before. Her eyes were red and swollen, her face was full of tears, and she looked haggard. She leaned against the coffin and looked at the handsome young man sleeping in the coffin with dull eyes. I sobbed from time to time and seemed to have aged more than ten years.
Mu Lengxi stood next to Mu Chaorong, holding her hand tightly, with a sad expression, worried eyes, and red eyes.
In the Nine Transformations Transcendent Tower, she had been crying with Mu Yuesheng for three days. She originally thought that her tears had dried up and she would be able to face her grief more "calmly", but when Mu Chaorong saw her son's body, her tear glands burst and she started to cry. Crying loudly, Mu Lengxi's tears fell down in an instant.
Before this, Mu Lengxi had never seen her mother cry like this, and she had never even seen her weak side.
As the youngest helmsman of the Mu Group, Mu Chaorong can be said to be a strange woman who dominates the business world. She is calm and able to deal with the intrigues and intrigues in the business world. In just ten years in the position, the assets of the Mu family have fully doubled. He became the largest plutocrat in the Xia Kingdom, second only to the Xiao family.
When she first faced doubts and rejection from company elders, she never frowned.
When the Mu Group encountered its biggest crisis, shareholders rebelled, and there were internal and external troubles, she remained calm and composed.
She even smiled when she divorced the young "emperor" of the Li family who turned his hands into clouds and rain.
No matter what kind of dilemma she faced, Mu Lengxi never saw her mother show a trace of panic. But now, facing the pain of losing her son, Mu Chaorong was crying loudly, feeling more fragile and sad than anyone else.
She turned away relatives and visitors, probably because she didn't want people to see her weak attitude that was completely inconsistent with the "Queen of Business", right
Mu Lengxi felt sad, not only because of the death of her brother, but also because she felt sorry for her mother.
But she didn't know how to comfort her mother. She could only hold her hand and grieve with her.
Bang!
Suddenly, the closed hall door was pushed open forcefully.
Mu Lengxi turned her head in shock. Who suddenly disturbed her at this time near midnight
When Mu Lengxi could see clearly who was coming through the light, she breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart that had just dropped immediately became high again.
Suddenly the hall door opened, and the person who walked towards the coffin slowly and unhurriedly was a middle-aged man. The man was handsome and handsome, with starry eyebrows and sharp eyes. He looked mature and steady because of his expressionless face. For some girls who are controlled by uncles, It is an instant kill existence. His facial features are 70% similar to Li Wuyu's. He is obviously the biological father of Li Wuyu and Mu Lengxi, the "Emperor" of the Li family - Li Fuhu.
If Mu Chaorong is the queen of the business world.
Then Li Fuhu is the emperor in the political world. He became the Prime Minister of the State Council at the age of only forty-five. His skills are superb and awe-inspiring.
The combination of Mu Chaorong and Li Fuhu was a good story, and it also meant that the powerful Li family and the business giant Mu family joined forces.
But unfortunately eight years ago, when Mu Lengxi was five years old, the ten-year marriage between Mu Chaorong and Li Fuhu, which was forged out of family interests, ended in a hurry due to personality incompatibility. The two actually had a boy and a girl, so their respective After raising a child, Mu Chaorong simply changed his daughter's surname to "Mu", and Li Lengxi became Mu Lengxi now.
Mu Lengxi and her father Li Fuhu had not seen each other for eight years. In the impression left by her when she was young, she remembered that her father was an unsmiling and extremely serious person. She had never even seen him smile.
What impressed me even more was that his father rarely came home and was busy outside most of the time. During that time, he climbed one mountain after another in the political world, but he even forgot about his daughter's birthday.
As for the bad news of Li Wuyu's accidental death today, Li Fuhu had already learned about it in the afternoon, but he was still busy until ten o'clock in the evening, and he was late.
As a result, Mu Lengxi was not close to his father, and instead felt a little unfamiliar and resistant.
More importantly, she hid a secret and concealed a truth.
She couldn't let anyone know that Li Wuyu was accidentally killed by Shi Xiaobai who lost control. She couldn't let anyone know, including Mu Chaorong, especially Li Fuhu.
Li Fuhu and the Li family behind him will not let go of the murderer of the "Prince", no matter whether the murderer is unintentional or innocent.
Because this is related to the face of the Li family and the majesty of the "royal family".
Li Fuhu walked toward the coffin step by step with an expressionless face, not even looking at his former wife or his biological daughter who had the same blood.
Mu Chaorong did not raise his head, staring at Li Wuyu who was sleeping peacefully, as if he didn't hear Li Fuhu's approaching footsteps.
Mu Lengxi lowered his head slightly and clenched his little hands tightly, feeling extremely nervous.
Can she keep it a secret
