Chapter 42

"Does Qingqing still need help?" Young Master Rong Jiu asked with his head tilted.That look of helplessness is simply saying clearly that my father has many people and powerful people, come and kill me quickly.Mu Qingyi nodded with a smile and said: "Need, it's already late, please leave my room, Mr. Ninth." Rong Jin looked at Mu Qingyi resentfully, "Qingqing, you are so cruel."

"Didn't the ninth son just say that the most poisonous woman's heart is?" Mu Qingyi glanced at him lightly.Rong Jin shrugged helplessly, got up and said: "Okay, I won't disturb Qingqing's rest anymore? But, Qingqing really doesn't need me to help you spread the news? It's too late, but it's too late now. In the capital, besides me, who else is willing to work hard for Qingqing?"

Mu Qingyi finally couldn't help rolling her eyes, "Yes, no, yes!" Naturally, many people rushed to spread the news, and it would be a bit overkill for Rong Jin, a prince from outside, to do it.

The next day, when Mu Qingyi got up, Mu Changming had already gone back to the capital with Mu Chen and Mu Ling.As for the young lady named Sapphire, of course no one cared about his ending.But based on what Mu Qingyi knew about Mu Changming, that Sapphire was probably dead.Although such a big thing happened, since Mu Changming didn't ask her to go back, Mu Qingyi didn't plan to go back right now.The Mu family must be in a mess now, isn't she going back at this time to rush to hit Mrs. Mu's anger?
In Baoguo Temple, Mu Qingyi was leisurely praying for blessings and making incense, but the Suchenghou's mansion was full of desolate wind and rain.

Back at Suchenghou's Mansion, Mu Changming immediately grounded Mu Ling, and even Mrs. Sun was not allowed to visit.Although Mu Changming immediately sealed the mouths of the servants of Suchenghou's mansion, but it was not only the servants of Suchenghou's mansion who were present that night?Before the next morning, the news had already spread throughout the capital.Not to mention, a letter from the eldest princess who had lived in seclusion for ten years was sent directly to Emperor Hua, suing both Mu Ling and Mu Changming.Sue Mu Changming for being useless in teaching children, and sue Mu Ling and the people of humble origin for polluting the holy place of Buddhism and misbehaving.His daughter became a widow at a young age, and Hua Huang felt very guilty about this beloved daughter.As soon as he saw the eldest princess's note, he was furious, and immediately dismissed all the official positions on Mu Ling and ordered that he would never be hired.Even Mu Changming, whom Hua Huang always valued, was fined for three years.To Mu Changming, the three-year salary was nothing, but the key was that he was severely slapped in the face.

As soon as he got home, Mu Changming didn't care about anything else, and beat Mu Ling severely again.Mu Ling, who was still injured, was afraid that she would spend another half a month in bed.

What made Mu Changming even more angry was the news that Mu Chen came back from a secret investigation, that the sapphire was brought out by Mu Ling's closest confidants and family members to the Qingfeng Hall.After bringing it out, Mu Ling took him directly to Baoguo Temple. It was pure nonsense that he just came to serve him a few days ago.Taking a person who came out of that kind of place to the monastery, and was found lying on the bed, Mu Changming didn't want to be crooked.

"This evil! This evil!" Mu Changming slammed the letter in his hand on the table, and said angrily.

"Father..." Mu Chen said in a deep voice.Mu Changming squinted, stared at him and said, "What else do you want to say?"

Seeing him like this, Mu Chen couldn't help but feel cold, and said in a low voice: "Second brother has always acted well, this time I'm afraid... I was confused and provoked by the people around me. The master did something wrong. If people don’t talk and persuade, there is no one who can find someone for the master. Father must teach those nasty things a lesson. Not to mention the second younger brother, the third younger brother is only eleven years old, if he is also misleading..."

Mu Changming suddenly remembered seeing his third son, Mu Ke, who was 11 years old but couldn't even memorize a few articles. Instead, he was messing around in the garden with the people around him. Now, these servants are really shameless and should be tidied up. You should go back and rest first, and you should take more care of the internal and external affairs in the past few days."

"Yes, baby retire."

Mu Chen nodded respectfully and said goodbye, Mu Changming missed the sneer on his lips due to his drooping face.

After leaving Mu Changming's study room, Mu Chen stood under his eyes and looked up at the sky.Although his face was peaceful, his heart was secretly sweating.When the fourth sister said that, although he heard it in his ears, he didn't really remember it in his heart.But just now in the study, the moment he met his father's cold eyes that contained anger, the words of the fourth sister rang in his ears again, making him forcefully swallow back what he was about to say.If it weren't for... Mu Chen's heart trembled secretly, and the palm hidden under his sleeve was also tightly held.If not, I'm afraid that everything he has done these days will be in vain, right?

"Chen'er."

"Ma'am." Mu Chen turned his head and saluted Mrs. Sun respectfully.Mrs. Sun frowned slightly. Although she was not a madam who had been appointed by the emperor, Mu Chen had always called her mother in recent years.But now... did she really go with that girl Mu Qingyi?

Sun's expression was gloomy, and he said lightly: "Is Lord Hou here?"

Mu Chen nodded and said, "Father is inside. But...Father may not be in a good mood."

Sun's expression became even more ugly, what else could make Mu Changming feel bad these days?Naturally, it was Mu Chen's business.Seeing Mu Chen's solemn expression, Sun became more and more convinced that what Mu Chen said about Mu Ling in front of Mu Changming was bad.A somewhat ferocious smile appeared on his lips, and he said, "Understood, thank you, Eldest Young Master."

Mu Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Madam, you are polite, Mu Chen will leave."

As soon as Mu Chen walked out of the courtyard, he saw the housekeeper hurried over.

"Housekeeper, what's the matter?"

The housekeeper hesitated for a moment, and said, "Back to the eldest son, the eldest son of the Li family is here, and he said... he said he wanted to divorce Miss Li." Mu Ling had already made an appointment with Miss Li's family at the beginning of the year.Although the Li family doesn't have a title, but the master of the Li family is now the left minister in the court, and he can be counted among the best.Mu Ling's marriage with the Li family is very good for his reputation and career, and more importantly, the princes in the court are now secretly fighting endlessly.The ministers were also busy standing in line, the only ones who remained unmoved were these clear streams.It is obviously more beneficial to Prince Gong if the Mu family and the Li family get married.

The Li family prides themselves on being clean, and the most important thing is face.It had been so many days before someone came to the door, Mu Chen felt a little surprised.

Raising his eyebrows, Mu Chen said: "Go and greet Mr. Li, I will report to father."

The butler also secretly heaved a sigh of relief. The Hou Ye had a bad temper these two days, almost everyone in the mansion had been scolded, and he didn't want to report such news in person.It would be even better if the eldest son is willing to do it for you, "Thank you, eldest son." The housekeeper thanked gratefully.Mu Chen smiled indifferently, turned around and entered the yard he just came out of.
