"Why the sudden reassignment to Lindong?" Lian Family tightened her grip on the teacup.
Mu Yuanmou sat down by the table and said, "Military reassignment is a significant matter. They've probably been discussing it in the Imperial Study Room for some time. Lian Xiao has been keeping it a secret. If you hadn't asked today, we wouldn't have known until the official document arrived."
Mu Liancheng's face was somber.
Lian Family turned her head slightly and asked Mu Yuanmou, "Do you mean that Lian Xiao is deliberately keeping it from us?"
"Perhaps it's not to be publicized before the decree, or maybe it's intentional," Mu Yuanmou replied coldly, his gaze dark and brooding.
Lian Family snorted, "I think it's Lian Xiao's wife stirring up trouble behind the scenes. She's guarding against us."
Mu Yuanmou remained noncommittal.
Mu Lianhui turned a page of her book and said while reading, "What have you done, Mother, that Yunluo noticed and felt the need to guard against you?"
