Chapter 1365: Side Story: Mu Bowen (3)
Mu Yangling and Qi Haoran had just returned from Nanyang a few days ago. When she heard that her brother was here, she got someone to bring out the gifts she had brought back for him to choose from.
However, Mu Bowen was in a daze. When he entered the house, he was looking down at his toes.
The corners of Mu Yangling’s mouth twitched twice. She went forward and led her brother to the study, then arranged for him to sit on a chair covered in animal skin. As she asked someone to burn the brazier, she shook her head and left when she saw him lowering his head in deep thought.
Whenever his younger brother was trying to solve a difficult problem, he would be like this. Sometimes, he would be in a daze and not react even if someone attempted to kidnap him. Once, when he was walking on the street, he suddenly thought of a water conservancy issue. As he was too engrossed in his thoughts, he subconsciously walked all the way home. However, when he reached the door of his house, he wandered all the way to the King’s Residence. Then, he slowly walked towards the Ministry of Works from the King’s Residence...
By the time he came back to his senses, he had already been brought home by his manservant.
Because of this, Mu Yangling felt very guilty towards her sister-in-law, and would always help out with her brother’s inner estate matters as long as she could.
As Mu Bowen was obsessed with the water conservancy projects, he had to rely on his sister-in-law for almost everything in the Mu Residence. Not only was Mu Bowen her younger brother, but she had also raised him single-handedly. Hence, she could not help but feel guilty about this.
Fortunately, Mu Bowen was not someone who would forget about his family just for work. He would also specially take time out to accompany his family and educate his children.
Sometimes, he would even take his wife out on a romantic date to spend some alone time with her.
In Madam Fang’s heart, other than not earning her the title of the Lady of the Imperial Command, her husband was not inferior to other men. In fact, she was more blissful than most women in the world.
When Mu Bowen came back to his senses, it was already dark outside. He walked to the reception pavilion to take a look. His wife, Madam Fang, was sitting on the couch with Mu Yangling, choosing from a dazzling array of gemstones.
When Mu Yangling saw her brother, she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Come over and give your opinion on which gem’s color suits your wife the best."
