"What are you saying? I cannot do that. You should find someone else to do it." Mu Feng shook his head negatively.
"Bro, you the best of the best. None can surpa.s.s your acting ability." Mu Lan tried to pursue him.
Mu Feng was resolute. "I know that I"m the best but I can"t do it without knowing what you are plotting. And also, I"m going to sacrifice my stomach and acting ability, you need to bribe me something good."
Right after he came back, Mu Lan asked for Mu Feng and they met in her study room after lunch. Having a feast, Mu Feng was greatly satisfied until he heard Mu Lan"s request.
Mu Lan asked for him only one thing. "Bro, after dinner, you have to take Liang Liang in your private bar. You two can talk important stuff. Meanwhile, give him the most alcohol which will make him drunk to the point that he won"t wake up till the sun come up."
Mu Feng found her request was not only a bit of weird but also suspicious. Thus, he said "no" with a straight face.
And now, Mu Lan had to pester him.
Mu Lan was stunned hearing him asking for bribe. She put her hands on her waist. "I prepared a feast for your stomach. What else do you want?"
Mu Feng chuckled. "Sis, is this how you are supposed to bribe me?"
"Fine, I will let you have half of my dinner which mother will cook for me." Mu Lan pouted in dissatisfaction.
Because of Mu Liang and Jing Sheng"s pampering, she still couldn"t eat the head chef"s cooking. She had to depend on what Mu Liang or Jing Sheng would cook specially for her.
Mu Feng narrowed his eyes. Since she was so desperate even to give away half of her dinner, he was really suspicious now. "And why would you go so far to make him drank? Do you have some kind of perverted thoughts?"
In his eyes, he still though of his big brother as a saint. If he only knew Mu Liang"s true color…
Mu Lan"s face was red. She glared at him. "Who is pervert? You are pervert! Perverseness is in your blood. Liang Liang is also the same. If he didn"t plan on making me stay up till the morning, do you think I would tell you to do it? I"m not fully recovered yet; my body cannot take his torture."
She cleverly turned the table and accused both of the brothers.
Mu Feng scratched his head. "Who are you talking about? My big brother isn"t like that." He protested.
"Oh really? Do you actually know your beastly brother? Can"t you tell by observing when he takes me to the duplex house beside the lake, you cannot find any of us for days?" Mu Lan"s face was bright red when she mentioned it.
Mu Feng remembered the time and realized that what Mu Lan said was right. He still had doubt. But in the end, he agreed. "Fine, I will do it to save you tonight. But I can"t do it all the time."
Mu Lan said, "No worries. Just let me sleep properly tonight. Other night, I will take care of it."
Thus, Mu Liang was sold by his wifey.

After dinner, just as planned, Mu Feng took Mu Liang and Mu Chen to his bar and they drank till half past ten. When it came to alcohol, none could be compared to Mu Feng. While he was still sober, Mu Chen was already snoring and Mu Liang was a little drowsy. His guard was down and his eyes were becoming heavy.
"Well, big brother, I will take you back." Mu Feng carried Mu Liang in his chamber.
When Mu Feng entered Mu Liang"s bedroom with his big brother, he noticed that Mu Lan was already sleeping.
Mu Feng whispered, "Big brother, do you want to take a bath?"
Mu Liang nodded. "Take me to the bathroom. I can bath myself." His tone slurred.
Mu Feng said, "Fine. I will tell the maid to bring you something to sober up." He took his brother to the bathroom.
Mu Liang said, "I just want to sleep…."
Mu Feng replied, "Oh, okay. I will stay with you till then." Seeing how sloppy he was, Mu Feng help him to take off his clothes. Before he left, he said, "I will be outside the bathroom. Don"t fall asleep in the bathtub."
Mu Liang nodded, but said nothing.
Mu Feng was still worried but didn"t say anything. "Maybe I had gone overboard." He said to himself. However, looking how peacefully Mu Lan was sleeping, he rejected the idea.
"Nope, for sis, this is a simple task." He thought to himself.
After Mu Liang had a bath, Mu Feng helped his to go to the bed and tucked him under the comforter. "I will tell the maids to bring you a hangover soup tomorrow morning." He whispered.
Mu Liang nodded and said, "…Sounds good." Then he closed his eyes.
Mu Feng soundlessly closed the door.
At the middle of the night, Mu Lan opened her eyes. She wasn"t sleepy at all. She pretended to fall asleep and fooled the two brothers.
She turned around slightly to see that Mu Liang was in dreamland. He didn"t move after he was taken to the bed. He fell asleep immediately.
Thanking Mu Feng in her mind, Mu Lan soundlessly got out of the bed and walked out if the room after wearing a warm outerwear. It was cold outside at night.
She sent to her study room and used the secret pa.s.sageway to get out of the castle without meeting any guard.
Mu Lan walked towards the lake. Her blood was boiling in excitement. Not from very far, she saw a solitude standing beside the lake.
She knew that person very well.
Mark Anthony.
Mu Lan came forward and said, "I am here just as you said. Now tell me everything."
