My Mysterious Doctor and Blessed Little Wife Is Such a Tease

1050 The Hidden Trap

Qin Xi had long implanted a backlash talisman on the Mu family members. Should anyone dare to harm them, they would pay a painful price.

Of course, this wasn’t her only strategy. Utilizing Jiang Yi’s identity, she had already alerted a higher authority, who was likely en route by now.

She was convinced that the Mu family’s current predicament was orchestrated by the Su family. “The old foxes are indeed cunning,” she thought. They could clearly use their connections to force the Mu family to submit, but they still used a sinister method to deal with the Mu family.

Now, the Su family was in disarray—some dead, others fallen. The fall of this elusive ancestor was only a matter of time.

Mu Tianzheng watched as his sons were taken away. Qu Hong’s eyes red with urgency. “Dad, what on earth did Sheng and Wen do?”

Mu Tianzheng shook his head. “You know them. They’ve done nothing wrong.”

“Then why…” Qu Hong’s lips trembled, fear evident in her voice.

Mu Tian sighed. “To impose a crime, one needs no excuse.”

“Are you saying Sheng and Wen are being framed? I have a bad feeling about this!”

Qu Hong’s heart was pounding. She felt that this matter was not simple. There seemed to be a huge conspiracy, and it was a conspiracy against the Mu family.

“Eldest Aunt, don’t worry. This matter will be resolved soon. You should go back and rest! Perhaps Eldest Uncle will come back in the middle of the night!” Qin Xi said.

Mu Min leaned against Chu Yi’s chest and patted her worried wife. “Don’t worry. You have to believe in Xi. She won’t let anything bad happen to the Mu family!”

“Yes!”

Mu Min was about to nod when she suddenly realized that Han Shi, who never left Qin Xi’s side, was not around at the moment. She asked curiously, “Xi, where’s Stone? Didn’t he come down?”

“Yeah, where is he?”

Old Master Mu frowned slightly. Although Han Shi did not have much of a presence normally, he knew that Han Shi was willing to give up everything for Qin Xi.

Qin Xi smiled and said mischievously, “Of course he’s protecting our family!”

The Mu family immediately understood. Although they did not know Han Shi’s strength, they were relieved when seeing Qin Xi’s confident expression.

Qin Xi looked at Qi Xiong. “Uncle Qi, leave the door open tonight. They’ll be back soon!”

Qi Xiong said respectfully, “Alright, Miss!”

Qin Xi pretended to be sleepy and yawned. She turned around and waved at everyone. “Grandpa, Eldest Aunt, Mom, Dad, I’ll go to bed first. You guys should rest too. Don’t worry, with Stone around, nothing will happen to them!”

Mu Tianzheng waved his hand. Although he trusted Qin Xi, it would be a lie to say that he was not worried. “Hurry up and go. You are pregnant. Don’t tire yourself out!”

“Alright!”

Looking at Qin Xi’s departing figure, Qu Hong wanted to say something, but Mu Tianzheng interrupted her.

“Go back and rest. It’s useless to be anxious. I’ll call the higher-ups now to ask about the details. I’ll tell you later.”

A trace of melancholy and worry flashed across Qu Hong’s eyes. She pursed her lips and went upstairs silently.

Chu Yi said with a solemn expression, “Dad, you should rest too. Since Xi said so, she must have her own plans. However, this also means that the person behind the scenes has monstrous power. At the very least, he has to be stronger than the Mu family.”

“Yes, I have more or less guessed who it is. If it’s really that person, this matter won’t be easy to deal with!”

Mu Min’s heart trembled violently. She seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said in shock, “Dad, do you mean the Su family?”
