She shouted "Ah!" three times in a row, each time louder than the last, her interrogation sounding so aggressive.
Luo Zhiheng slapped Luo Erduo on the head without any politeness, and said with a look of disdain, "Don't try to act cute with me, I'm not that girl Yu'er. Get out of here."
Luo Erduo was stunned for a moment, then collapsed to the ground with a thud, clutching her small body and rolling around. She started rolling around on the ground, her two small, white fists poking above her ears, howling and screaming. Everyone who had come down to rest was stunned by her sudden rolling around, and the scene became chaotic.
Luo Zhiheng said impatiently, "What exactly happened? If you don't tell me, I really won't care anymore."
Luo Erduo jumped up and grabbed Luo Zhiheng's leg, wailing, "That person bullied Xiaoli! He won't give Xiaoli any meat! Xiaoli wants meat! Meat!"
She firmly uttered the word "Rou Rou" one last time, pointing at Mu Yunjin standing to the side with a look of grief and indignation.
Luo Zhiheng hadn't initially thought much of it, but when she saw that the person being pointed at was Mu Yunjin, her anger flared up instantly. A wicked thought flashed through her mind. She glared fiercely at Mu Yunjin and said, "What's wrong with you? Why won't you feed my ears?"
Mu Yunjin was highly vigilant about Luo Erduo's appearance. He knew this person; he was a prisoner captured by Mu Yunhe. How could a prisoner be kept by his side? Not only was he not bound or imprisoned, but he was also provided with good food and drink? This was not treating a prisoner; this was treating an ancestor.
The thought of those scraps of paper that had just floated out of Luo Zhiheng's carriage filled him with rage, but he suppressed it. He refused to believe that Luo Zhiheng and Mu Yunhe were still alright. They couldn't be; if they were calm, they wouldn't have torn that letter to shreds.
Mu Yunjin was troubled by these two matters, and his expression grew even colder. His voice became even lower as he said, "We don't have much food left. We still have two more days to go before we reach the Mu Dynasty. Although we can buy food along the way, we still have an afternoon before we reach the next village, so we shouldn't waste it. Besides, this person isn't one of us. She's a prisoner, so we shouldn't give her meat!"
What a despicable person! How dare he speak so shamelessly and so confidently? Does he really think Luo Zhiheng is easy to bully? She hasn't even settled the score for trying to ruin their relationship with her husband through scheming and trickery, and now Mu Yunjin dares to bully her little ears so arrogantly. He's asking for a beating!
"I really didn't know that a dignified young general would start meddling in these women's business like this? Don't you think you're ruining your image? At least to me, you really look like you've abandoned your military career to become a chef, no longer a general. Besides, a real man doesn't concern himself with trifles. Why cling to a piece of meat like that? Her ear is mine. If she eats it, it's the same as me eating it. Are you openly challenging me and slapping me in the face by doing this?" Luo Zhiheng openly challenged him without any politeness, her words full of contempt and sarcasm, directly accusing Mu Yunjin of being effeminate.
Mu Yunjin's handsome face instantly lit up with a dazzling array of colors. His hand, gripping the meat, almost crushed it. He sneered, "What a sharp tongue! I'm only thinking of everyone's best interests. She's just a prisoner; her presence has already wasted too much food. There's absolutely no need to keep someone like her in this group. Besides, her origins are unknown, so she shouldn't be kept by Mu Yunhe's side at all."
Mu Yunjin's tone shifted sharply, and she addressed the Pharaohs with righteous indignation: "My lords, Mu Yunhe's status is different now. For his safety, this vixen must be executed. Otherwise, who knows what trouble she might cause? We cannot let Mu Yunhe's excessive pampering of his wife cloud our judgment. To put Mu Yunhe in danger because of the whims of a brainless woman who only cares about her own pleasure is, in my opinion, extremely inappropriate."
The pharaohs, after all, didn't know Lo'er's origins, and this enchantress had truly shocked them that day, so they didn't know what to do. Mu Yunhe probably knew what was going on, but they were genuinely worried about his safety. It was truly a dilemma.
"Stop arguing! How about we get Luo Erduo's food from my caravan? I have plenty of food with me." Yu'er saw her favorite sister Heng'er arguing with the young general and suddenly felt conflicted. But she loved Luo Erduo so much and couldn't bear to see such a cute little girl go hungry, so she offered to help.
Mu Yunjin shot him a sharp look and said in a sinister tone, "No need for you to bother."
Yu'er's face paled, and a look of disappointment crossed her face.
Luo Zhiheng never expected Mu Yunjin to be so despicable, actually using Mu Yunhe as a shield to achieve his own selfish desires. He even dared to be mean to her friend.
"You're a grown man, arguing with a woman over such trivial matters. Don't you think that's beneath you? Or is your skin so thick that even knives and spears can't penetrate it? Otherwise, how could you be so shameless as to use your own brother?" Luo Zhiheng said angrily.
"Did I take advantage of Mu Yunhe? I was just showing concern for him as his brother. Is that wrong?" Mu Yunjin said with a matter-of-fact smile, but there was a hint of provocation and anger in his smile.
"I don't need anyone else's concern. I know what I've done. I ordered Luo Erduo to stay, so I know whether she's in danger or not. I don't need anyone else to worry about her." Mu Yunhe's cold voice rang out from behind the crowd. Mu Yunhe strode over, not even glancing at Mu Yunjin, and pulled Luo Zhiheng into his arms, scolding, "If something like this happens again, just tell me. Why are you wasting your time talking here? Aren't you tired?"
One is me, and the other is the king. The difference in their relationship is obvious.
Everyone knew how much Mu Yunhe disliked his half-brother. Their gazes towards Mu Yunjin were now filled with schadenfreude and contempt.
Luo Zhiheng understood Mu Yunhe's meaning and immediately snuggled into his arms, saying aggrievedly, "I am the owner of my ears, shouldn't I stand up for them? I really didn't expect that your Mu family has such a thrifty man, more considerate than a woman, it's hilarious! I can always buy that piece of meat, can't I? I have plenty of money!"
Luo Zhiheng's words made Mu Yunjin's face turn pale and then red. In that instant of carelessness, she felt a sharp pain in her hand as Luo Erduo snatched the meat away. Mu Yunjin instinctively tried to grab it but failed. Luo Erduo, having secured the meat, darted behind Luo Zhiheng, peeking out with half her head peeking out, swaggering around with the meat, her face full of provocation.
Even that little vixen knows how to bully others by relying on their master's power!

Chapter 327 Revenge! Beat the dog when it's down! (Bonus chapter for 21,500 comments)
Updated: 2013-09-14 15:37:33 Word Count: 3342
The farce passed quickly and seemed to be over, but Mu Yunhe knew very well that his woman would not let Mu Yunjin off easily.
Sure enough, Luo Zhiheng made a move the following evening.
Because they were traveling until dawn and would arrive in the capital that afternoon, they stayed at an inn. That night, the clouds were light and the moonlight gentle. In the stillness of the night, Mu Yunhe opened his eyes and watched Luo Zhiheng tiptoe out of the room. He propped himself up, squinting at her, a playful smile on his lips, his gaze full of affection.
As soon as Luo Zhiheng left the room, Luo Erduo suddenly appeared, a mischievous fox with a sly smile. She tilted her chubby little face up, looking both ingratiating and excited, and said, "Master, shall we go and deal with him now?"
Luo Zhiheng slapped Luo Erduo's head without hesitation and scolded in a low voice, "Shut up! Do you want everyone to know if you're yelling so loudly? You better behave yourself so I can help you get revenge, understand?"
Luo Erduo pouted pitifully, her little head drooping. Then Luo Zhiheng handed her a packet of medicine. She blinked curiously, her eyes revealing a pure yet unknowing charm.
"This is a sleeping potion. Find a way to get Mu Yunjin to drink it, or even just smell a little bit. That way we can deal with him. Once he's unconscious, we can do whatever we want with him, right?" Luo Zhiheng said coldly, her eyes sinister.
Luo Erduo suddenly became excited again, forgetting that she had just been patted, and her soft voice turned sharp again: "No need to mask it, the sweat medicine..."
Luo Zhiheng's eyelids twitched violently. She quickly covered her mouth and whispered angrily, "You idiot, moron, little fool! Can't you remember to keep your voice down? Are you asking for a beating? If Mu Yunjin finds out, forget about revenge. We might even get bitten back by that mad dog. Don't expect me to help you then. Keep your voice down, you hear me?"
Luo Erduo nodded aggrievedly. Luo Zhiheng let go of her hand, and she whispered carefully, "No need for sleeping potion, Erduo has a way to make that bad guy die instantly, hahaha."
Luo Zhiheng's eyelids twitched: "What method?"
"Go kill him, Ear! You'll be able to do it without anyone noticing!" A bloodthirsty expression suddenly appeared on Luo Ear's pretty and cute little face. Her scarlet little tongue involuntarily licked her lips, her face full of anticipation.
Without hesitation, Luo Zhiheng slapped her again. Luo Erduo covered her head with her small, frightened hands, staring pitifully at Luo Zhiheng. Her timid and angry expression made Luo Zhiheng want to torture her to death. Pointing at her nose, she angrily said, "Are you an idiot?! We're doing something shameful. Beating him up is fine, but if he dies, that'll be a problem. Although I'm not afraid of trouble, he is, after all, Mu Yunhe's brother, a member of the Mu royal family. Do you think the Mu royal family will let him off easily if he dies? You moron!"
"What should we do then?" Luo Erduo asked blankly, her voice filled with grievance. 17281768
"You can kill him directly, so can't you make him pass out? That way, you don't need to use a sleeping potion, and it'll be even more discreet. Even if he knows it was us, he won't dare do anything to us without evidence." Luo Zhiheng's eyes lit up as she whispered to Luo Erduo.
Luo Erduo's eyes were also sparkling. She suddenly realized that she liked this master a little. At least this master was not like ordinary women who would swallow their grievances and suffer in silence.
After discussing it for a while, the excited Luo Erduo went ahead to try and knock Mu Yunjin unconscious, while Luo Zhiheng waited outside the courtyard. When Luo Zhiheng heard Luo Erduo's meowing, she went in and, sure enough, saw Mu Yunjin fast asleep, completely unsuspecting.
She gently pushed Mu Yunjin, but he didn't react. She slapped him hard, but still no reaction. She was truly exasperated!
"How did you do that? That's pretty impressive." Luo Zhiheng was amazed, looking Luo Erduo up and down. Yun He's little pet had this ability? Wouldn't that make things much easier and more discreet for her in the future? This Luo Erduo was like an invisible treasure chest! She could play with it and tease it when she was bored, and sometimes she could use it as a weapon or throw poison at it—it was so much fun!
Luo Erduo and her master have one thing in common: they are both opportunistic and shameless. If anyone praises them, they will be very happy and proud.
Seeing that her owner finally praised her, she immediately tilted her chubby little face up, twisted her body, and said coquettishly, "Your ears are such a big book, it's a waste of your talent to be your pet."
Luo Zhiheng narrowed her eyes: "So you don't want to be my pet?"
Uh! Luo Erduo suddenly became alert. She wasn't afraid of Luo Zhiheng, but she was afraid of Mu Yunhe, who really liked Luo Zhiheng. She couldn't afford to offend Luo Zhiheng. She quickly said, "No, Erduo likes Master so much, and is so happy to be Master's pet. It's truly Erduo's great fortune, a blessing from her ancestors, and she's overjoyed, like Fan Jin passing the imperial examination..."
Luo Zhiheng was both amused and exasperated. This little fox's flattery was so over the top, it was all a jumbled mess. She quickly interrupted the little fox, "Quickly get Mu Yunjin outside, to that forest we passed through earlier. Fighting here definitely won't be pleasant."
The two were completely in sync, and quickly carried the person away. When they got to the grove behind the house, Luo Erduo threw Mu Yunjin to the ground and said in a vicious voice, "Master, tell me how to deal with this big bad guy and avenge Erduo?"
Luo Zhiheng rolled her eyes, thinking to herself that this guy was even more narcissistic than she was. She was taking her anger out on Mu Yunjin because this bastard dared to play tricks on her and Mu Yunhe; she couldn't quell her anger without getting her revenge. Her delicate little foot stomped on Mu Yunjin's face, grinding it forcefully. Without any mercy, she stomped back and forth with a force almost enough to knock out Mu Yunjin's teeth. Soon, Mu Yunjin's handsome face was covered in dirt and bruises.
Upon seeing this, Luo Erduo's eyes widened. He thought to himself, "I underestimated Luo Zhiheng. She actually dared to hit Mu Yunjin? How cool!"
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and vent your anger! Don't hold back, beat her to a pulp, but as long as you don't kill her, it's fine." Luo Zhiheng called out to Luo Erduo, her purpose being to vent her anger. But how could Luo Erduo know the ruthlessness of her master? She thought her master was wholeheartedly seeking revenge for her, so she was very moved and thought Luo Zhiheng was a very good person.
Luo Erduo knows martial arts, and she's very skilled at it. Her kick is definitely not something Luo Zhiheng can compare to. This kick made Mu Yunjin groan. Although she didn't wake up, the fact that she kicked someone who was unconscious showed how powerful the kick was.
Luo Zhiheng even heard the sound of bones breaking. Startled, she quickly said, "Slow down! Don't stomp on someone and kill them. Do you think everyone is as thick-skinned as you monsters?"
Luo Erduo stuck out her tongue, then, imitating Luo Zhiheng, the two girls punched and kicked Mu Yunjin. Not satisfied with just that, they jumped on Mu Yunjin's stomach a few times. From the quiet grove, a chaotic series of banging and clanging sounds rang out, along with sounds like heavy breathing.
The two of them beat Mu Yunjin for a full half hour, but how could half an hour allow Luo Zhiheng to vent her anger? Mu Yunjin was wicked, and because of his actions, she and Mu Yunhe almost faced a crisis, which enraged Luo Zhiheng. She wanted nothing more than to cripple Mu Yunjin, but ultimately had to show mercy because he was Mu Yunhe's brother.
After hitting her for a long time, she was tired, but Luo Erduo was still happily hitting people randomly. Luo Zhiheng said, "Go ahead and hit, just don't kill them."
Luo Erduo was having a great time, nodding repeatedly, and then started jumping around on Mu Yunjin's body.
Luo Zhiheng, having recovered from her rest, hurriedly urged Luo Erduo to leave quickly. Luo Erduo bit her finger and asked blankly, "What about this guy?"
“Just leave him here. It’s almost dawn. Don’t worry about him. His confidants will come looking for him when they find out he’s missing tomorrow. Let’s hurry up and go.” Luo Zhiheng pulled Luo Erduo, who was like a peach blossom.
Mu Yunjin was beaten and abandoned outside that night. Covered in wounds, he lay motionless on the cold earth, as the darkness gradually gave way to the first light of dawn. Finally, day broke, and the innkeepers began to stir, finally noticing his absence.
Luo Zhiheng smiled and took Mu Yunhe's arm as they went downstairs for dinner. The pharaohs were already seated there. Upon seeing the two of them come down, the pharaohs immediately stood up to greet Mu Yunhe, no longer addressing him as a prince in name only, but as "Your Excellency!" They called Mu Yunhe "Your Excellency" and Luo Zhiheng "Madam." This was a sign of respect, and even more so, a sign of recognition.
The elderly people never acted arrogantly because of their age, which pleased Luo Zhiheng, making her even more affectionate towards them. Mu Yunhe, because of Luo Zhiheng, was also friendly towards the elderly people.
As soon as they sat down, Luo Erduo listlessly snuggled up to Luo Zhiheng's feet, ignoring the horrified looks from everyone, and began to snore loudly next to Luo Zhiheng. The sight of a grown woman sleeping on the floor truly astonished everyone in the inn.
Luo Zhiheng maintained a polite smile, but her feet seemed to want to kick Luo's ears a few times.
They had just started eating when they heard hurried footsteps. Mu Yunjin's trusted chief bodyguard rushed over: "Have you all seen our young general?"
Everyone exchanged glances and said no, but Luo Zhiheng showed no sign of anything amiss, continuing to eat and drink as usual. Only when Mu Yunhe looked at her did his gaze contain a mixture of affection and warning. Luo Zhiheng then pouted at him playfully.
When Mu Yunjin was found, he was carried back, covered in blood, with a bruised and swollen face, and on the verge of death.
Second update! That's all for today. I'll keep working hard tomorrow. Still asking for recommendation votes, comments, and monthly tickets! Group chat, muah!
328 A ten-mile-long red carpet, with hundreds of officials kneeling in unison! Two young girls come to greet them!

Inside the carriage, Luo Zhiheng hummed a little tune with great joy. Beside her, Luo Erduo looked on with a fawning expression, gazing longingly at the string of bright green, tender beads in Luo Zhiheng's hand. She clenched her two little hands into hollow fists, rested them on the edge of the table, and propped her chin on her two little paws, her big eyes filled with longing.
Unfortunately, Luo Zhiheng was a heartless person. The more pitiful the other person looked, the more indifferent she seemed. She ate while laughing, and occasionally gave Mu Yunhe a few grapes, but she just wouldn't give any to Luo Erduo, making the little guy scratch his ears and tear up in frustration.
Mu Yunhe suddenly pulled her waist close, pressing her against his chest. His warm chest was growing stronger every day; one day, it would become a strong chest that belonged only to Luo Zhiheng, a chest she could rely on and trust.
"Have you been naughty enough? You almost caused a huge disaster, do you know that?" It was hard to tell if he was blaming or scolding Mu Yunhe. His voice was low and deep, with his usual smile. When he wasn't being difficult, he had no childishness at all, only a captivating charm that made people swoon.
Luo Zhiheng's smug expression froze for a moment before returning to normal. She should have realized this sooner; she couldn't hide it from Mu Yunhe, no matter who he wanted to know. What secrets could there be in this world if he wanted to know them?
She turned slightly, carefully examining Mu Yunhe's expression. Unable to discern his emotions, she smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck, softly saying, "I just can't swallow this. Why does he have the right to question our relationship? Why does he have the right to interfere and destroy it? What he's doing is immoral and shameful! If we don't teach him a lesson, he'll only get worse. I'm upholding justice and ridding the world of a scourge—it's only right and proper!"
She spoke with such righteous indignation and fierce momentum that she seemed like a warrior born for justice.
Seeing the smugness and joy on her tender little face, how could Mu Yunhe bear to scold her? He hugged her tightly, biting her ear in exasperation, before sighing, "Then next time you won't need to do it yourself. Even though Mu Yunjin deserves to die, Father has high expectations for him, and I don't want to go against him. But you don't need to worry, in this world, no one can compare to you. In my heart, you are the most important."
Luo Zhiheng felt sweetness in her heart when she saw that Mu Yunhe not only didn't blame her, but also said such things. However, she also felt heartache.
No one can live without family; it's an emotion we experience from the very beginning. But sometimes, family ties are too fragile, unable to withstand the slightest temptation or erosion of self-interest. Mu Yunhe did have family ties before he met Mu Qingya.
He naively believed that this older sister was as gentle, lovely, and beautiful as he remembered. But as time passed, her beauty remained, but her kindness and gentleness were gone. She became Mu Yunhe's nightmare, a nightmare that Mu Yunhe could never have imagined.
