Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

On the other side, in Rong'an Prefecture.

Several imperial physicians have already examined and treated Mu Xiding and the others.

The imperial physicians all shook their heads solemnly. "The eyes of these young masters and ladies have been severely irritated by the intense light, damaging the retina. We can prescribe some medicine for application, but whether it can be cured is up to fate."

Mu Changqing's face was extremely ugly.

After the imperial physician left, Mu Changqing asked the others, "Are you sure that white light came from the Mu residence?"

"Father, we're sure, there's no mistake." Mu Xiding roared, his face flushed and veins bulging on his neck.

Seeing his excitement, Mu Changqing no longer had any doubts.

"Father, how was the attitude of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion when you went there today?" Mu Nanwu asked in a gentle tone, not losing her composure despite being blind.

Mu Changqing's expression was solemn. "The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is taking a hard line. That old woman is indeed protecting Ying Yufu."

Mu Dongxu sneered: "As expected, you are just her cousin, how can you compare to her own granddaughter?"

Moreover, Ying Yufu is the future Crown Princess.

A cold glint flashed in Mu Changqing's eyes. "Since she is ruthless, then she can't blame me for being unjust."

"Father, there's no need to get angry. It's just a family of dead people. They'll be dead in three to six months at the latest."

Mu Nanwu said softly.

Mu Changqing nodded, "That's true, but the most urgent task is still to keep an eye on you guys."

"I wanted Ying Yufu to come and treat your eyes personally, but I didn't expect her to refuse."

"Father, our eyes will get better," Mu Nanwu said confidently.

"Does Wu'er have any ideas?" Mu Changqing asked hurriedly.

Mu Nanwu sighed, "Father, brother, you are both too impatient. What we need to do now is to please the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, not to be hostile to them."

Mu Changqing pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Wu'er is still the most composed."

The Imperial Palace.

After Ying Yufu and the old lady finished recounting Mu Changqing's treason, the old lady knelt down to beg for forgiveness.

"Your Majesty, such a traitor has emerged from the Mu family! I am guilty!"

Emperor Cangxuan personally stepped forward to help the old lady up. "Old lady, please don't do this. I regard you as an elder. When we were on the battlefield, you and the Empress Dowager were like sisters, and you treated me like your own son."

The Mu family's rebellion has nothing to do with you. Since this has happened, go and resolve it; don't let it upset you.

The old lady's face was covered in tears. "I am ashamed."

Ying Yufu stood aside and said, "Grandmother, there's no need for that. I'll clean up the mess."

Emperor Cangxuan laughed and said, "Madam, did you hear that? Fu'er is right. Mu Changqing can't cause any trouble."

Now, what you should be most concerned about is the marriage between Fu'er and the Crown Prince.

Don't let these trivial matters affect your wedding.

The old lady said, "What His Majesty says is very true."

At this time, there were only three days left until the Crown Prince and Ying Yufu's wedding.

The wedding was scheduled for March 28th. On the evening of the 27th, Mu Changqing brought his four children to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion again.

"Madam, Mu Changqing has arrived, and he has brought many gifts."

The gatekeeper reports.

"So many formalities?" the old lady exclaimed in surprise.

The gatekeeper said, "There were forty-eight loads."

"Forty-eight loads? Is he getting his daughter married off?" Shangguan Hong walked in.

The old lady's face darkened, and she turned to the gatekeeper and said, "Let them in."

Before long, Mu Changqing entered with his four children and forty-eight loads of gifts.

"Aunt, Changqing's words and actions were inappropriate a few days ago. Changqing felt very guilty and uneasy after returning home. Today, Chuiqing has brought four children to pay their respects to you."

The four Mu children lined up in a row from oldest to youngest, each with their faces covered by a black band.

The old lady's gaze swept over the four people and landed on the forty-eight bearers of gifts.

"Changqing, what's going on here?"

Mu Changqing said, "Aunt, tomorrow is the wedding of the family head and His Highness the Crown Prince. The forty-eight loads of gifts here are my dowry for the family head."

"A dowry?" the old lady said. "Even with the Mu family's wealth, we have never seen such a generous dowry."

Mu Changqing said, "Aunt, actually, besides these forty-eight loads of dowry gifts, there is another gift."

"Oh?" The old lady looked at him.

Mu Changqing pulled Mu Nanwu out and said, "Aunt, this is Nanwu. This child has a hard life. She is blind and not young anymore. I was thinking of having her accompany the head of the family as part of her dowry and enter the Crown Prince's residence together."

Although she is blind, she is still a member of our Mu family.

With her by the side to assist the head of the family, even if His Highness the Crown Prince takes a concubine in the future, the head of the family will still have a reliable person by his side.

"My nephew also has his own selfish motives. With Nanwu's eyesight, it might be difficult for her to get married now. Staying by the head of the family's side will give her some support."

The old lady's eyes were as cold as ice.

"Oh, I could hear you making those abacus beads from far away." Shangguan Fei strode in, spear in hand.

She glanced at Mu Changqing and Mu Nanwu, "You two certainly know how to give gifts, sending them directly to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. If you really wanted to give gifts, why not send them to the Mu residence?"

Mu Changqing was taken aback. "What do you mean by that, niece? Does the head of the family not intend to marry into the Zhenguo Duke's mansion?"

Shangguan Fei scoffed at him, then walked up to Mu Nanwu and lifted her chin.

Mu Nanwu spoke gently, "Cousin Shangguan!"

Shangguan Fei sneered, "No, I can't be your cousin, it sounds disgusting."

"What do you mean by that, cousin? What did Nanwu do to offend you?" Mu Nanwu's voice trembled slightly, clearly showing her great confusion and unease.

"I can't afford a cousin like you who's eyeing the Crown Prince, and neither can Fu'er."

Mu Nanwu's face turned pale instantly. "Cousin, you've misunderstood. Father and I had no such intention. Nanwu is good at business and her original intention was to be the head of the family's assistant and serve her. She had absolutely no intention of coveting the crown prince."

Besides, Nanwu is blind; how could she possibly have any other thoughts?

Mu Changqing also looked remorseful. "Aunt, it was Changqing who was confused and caused such a misunderstanding. Changqing had no intention of doing so."

The old lady said coldly, "Mu Changqing, I watched you grow up. I know you are unwilling to accept that I will pass the position of family head to Fu'er."

Mu Changqing's pupils contracted. What did the old lady mean by this?

"Aunt, Changqing was initially somewhat resentful, but that resentment has long since transformed into submission to the head of the family."

The old lady stared at him coldly. "Leave your things, and take your men and get out."

Mu Changqing's performance was frozen on his face.

"Don't make me say it a second time. If you dare to cause trouble in front of Fu'er, don't blame me for being ruthless."

After the old lady finished speaking coldly, she said to the gatekeeper, "Show the guest out."

Mu Changqing left with his four children, looking bewildered.

They were all dumbfounded, never expecting the old lady to stop pretending.

The old lady stared coldly at their departing figures, gritting her teeth, "If it weren't for Fu'er's wedding, I would never have let them off today!"

Shangguan Fei said, "Grandmother, don't be angry. They'll have their turn to cry."
