Chapter 986 It's all about means
Just as he was leaving in a swaggering way, the chamberlain who had been waiting beside him for a long time immediately stopped him.
“Bai Hanlin, the Holy One has spoken to you in the Wende Hall.”
“It’s time to work,” Xiao Wu turned around and followed the chamberlain along the corridor to the Hall of Wende.
Everyone saw this and felt envious for him. He openly offended the Mu clan and was not afraid of being torn apart.
Old Prime Minister Mu looked at Xiao Wu's back, the corners of his lips pursed tightly, and a coldness flashed across his eyes.
“Your Majesty, Prime Minister…”
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Prime Minister Mu, "Let's talk after we go out."
In the private room, Mu Zhuolan sat behind the table, playing with the tea set in his hands. With a set of smooth operations, a cup of fragrant tea was served to the opposite side.

Prime Minister Mu is their leader. If he retires and returns to his hometown, and there is no suitable person to take over, what should they do?
Under any circumstances, others will not pity you and let you go just because you are weak. Instead, they will choose to kill you while you are weak.
“It seems like the Mu family has hit a brick wall this time.”
"I have always wanted to seek revenge and complain. You and I are both daughters of a noble family in Kyoto, and our family upbringing has been carried out since childhood. You and I are familiar with the face in front of others, the nature of others behind the scenes, and the secret calculations in the back house. Fight. The only thing is the means, and in the end, the winner will be the winner and the loser. Regardless of winning or losing, we will retain our dignity. This is our dignity and pride."
Bai Family, Banyan Tree Hall,
“Did someone cover the rumor, or was it aimed at the Mu family?”
She finally had the opportunity to trample her under her feet, forcing her to bow her head.
Everyone pursed their lips and watched the old prime minister tremblingly walking out with his hands behind his back. A few of them looked at each other and followed him silently. They were about to find a tea shop to discuss the next strategy.
“Do you know who it is?”
Mu Zhuolan stared into her eyes and shook his head.
The Mu family is a well-established family with a profound foundation. If you are unsure or have a lower status than the Mu family, you will not dare to be so tough.
Their family is still too weak and cannot afford to make mistakes now. Strength is something that must be played steadily and not drift.
Princess Hehui looked at the quiet man opposite her, with a calm and gentle expression, her eyebrows were slightly curved, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
Kyoto, Yulin Pavilion,
“You are right, I agree.”
"You have always been a good player. You practice hard every day. If you don't make progress, wouldn't you be angry to death?" Princess Hehui held the tea cup, smelled it, curled her lips, and said,
“Compared to last time, it has indeed improved a bit.”
It turned out that she was overthinking everything, and when her ideals met reality, she was just being too sentimental.
"If a servant really offends me, what should you do?"
They don’t have to get involved in the fight between clans. If an innocent person is hurt, who will she go to to reason?
"No need, just pay attention. When two tigers fight, there will always be an injury. When the time comes, there is no need to check, it will surface."
Only targeting students, letting rumors ferment among students and arousing public opinion, smart.
“Yes, it’s very offensive to name someone directly.”
Bai Yunxi was sitting on the Arhat bed and was stunned when he heard the news that Wenyou brought back.
Otherwise, it is easy to get into trouble.
"You will retaliate and will not suffer any loss."
Hearing this, Mu Zhuolan frowned almost imperceptibly, with this gun-and-stick tone,
"What's going on? Which servant made you unhappy and took it out on my tea soup?"
“There are times when you are soft-hearted and you are being bullied right in front of your eyes. If you still act like a soft persimmon, you will bring it upon yourself.”

She happened to see the two of them meeting privately that day, and she wanted to suppress it with public opinion. She knew how much Taishi Ning valued He Hui, his granddaughter. Regardless of whether it was Bai Hanlin's fault or not, as long as he harmed He Hui's reputation, he would rather kill him by mistake than let him go.
Two pairs of eyes collided in the air, sparks crackling, until Mu Zhuolan looked away and cleared his throat.
“…You are right, I lost this round.”
"You are bound to lose. Nothing out of the blue can't hurt me. Your Mu family is afraid of Bai Hanlin and wants to get rid of him quickly. There are thousands of ways to do it, but you have chosen the most difficult one. If you want to kill someone with a borrowed knife, you have to look at it. I disagree."
Grandfather and father mentioned Bai Hanlin more than once, saying that he was a strong enemy of the Mu family. It was easy to deal with him, but it was difficult to explain to the officials.
Unexpectedly, she pulled away quickly without any nostalgia.
Mu Zhuolan smiled slightly, took a sip from the tea cup, and relaxed his brows slightly.
The law of the jungle has always been like this.
I hope the other party will fight hard to the end and dampen the Mu family's prestige.
Listening to Wenyou’s analysis, Baiyunxi rubbed her little finger,
“Targeting the Mu family directly by name is a tough move.”
As Princess Hehui spoke, she leaned slightly on her chair, staring into Mu Zhuolan's eyes, but every word struck her heart.
Once upon a time, this man told her that if one day in the future, she meets the person she likes, she will definitely fight for her at all costs without leaving any regrets in her heart.
It has to be said that the person who started the rumor is either really bold, or he has grasped the other party's leverage and directly injected strong medicine.
Mu Zhuolan: “…”
"I checked, and the rumor came from the Jinqiu teahouse, where a large number of students often gathered. The teahouse was a stage for them to discuss knowledge and debate eloquence."
"Ha~, aren't you usually the most kind and soft-hearted? What's wrong today? It's not like you to shout and kill." Princess Hehui looked at her and raised her eyebrows.
Princess Hehui looked at her and sneered in a low voice,
“Aunt Bai, do you want to check?”
This is a poetry club favored by noble ladies in Kyoto. It has nine winding corridors, stone forests, small bridges and flowing water, and an elegant style.
"Princess, please give it a try. Can you make any progress?"
"You and I have grown up together and know each other well, but you have overlooked one thing. I am indeed curious about Bai Hanlin, but it is just curiosity."
"You are a high-ranking princess, just a maidservant. You can sell it if you are not satisfied. Why worry about such a trivial matter?"
"I am a person who has never been offended by others, and I do not offend others. If someone is offended before my eyes, I will definitely not forgive him lightly."
Unexpectedly, Grand Master Ning did not take action or say anything, and there was no movement in the entire Ning family. On the contrary, Wen Quxing made a fuss.
She was reckless and should have waited.
Other comments, when referring to something in particular, were all insinuations, but no one dared to be so explicit.
“Must be the enemy of the Mu family,”
Before she could find out the source of the rumor, Jinqiu Tea House criticized her grandfather's age.
In order for the younger generation to have enough time to grow up and continue the glory of the Mu family, my grandfather devoted all his efforts to recommending those disciples. Unfortunately, those few disciples were not able to make a splash in the court because they were not able to do their best.
Talent is indeed not something that just anyone can have. (End of chapter)
