If you truly care for Shuxiang and Chenjing, then plead with the Emperor to rescind their titles and allow them to marry into ordinary families.

"Mu Chenyu! You've ruined my plans again!"

Shen Yu looked in the direction of the sound and saw Chen Jing rushing over aggressively. She slapped Shen Yu across the face, pointed at her nose, and cursed, "Mu Chen Yu, you're a discarded woman with two burdens. You're unhappy, so you can't stand to see me doing well. You're despicable, shameless, and vile..."

"shut up!"

Old Madam Mu, leaning on her cane, walked over unsteadily, pointed at Chen Jing, and said breathlessly:

"You're like a dog biting Lü Dongbin, not recognizing a kind heart. Don't you know that serving a ruler is like walking on thin ice? If your father were alive, he wouldn't want you to enter the harem."

Have you forgotten how your father died? The court was rife with infighting and deceit; instead of learning from this, you continue to follow in his footsteps?

"Mother!"

Yang Hua interrupted Old Madam Mu and stepped forward to argue:

"If we stand still, we will only be bullied by others. Why has Nanfeng always been a second-rank general? Isn't it because our Mu family is isolated and helpless in the court?"

Now that my brother has become emperor, our Mu family's opportunity has arrived! Shuxiang and Chenjing will enter the palace, Chenyu will marry Prince Jing, and our three sisters will marry into high positions. What could be better?

I hope Mother will hand over the reins of the Mu family so that I can take full control of the family business, allowing Mother to focus on her health.

Old Madam Mu pointed at Yang Hua, trembling and unable to speak. "Pfft!" She spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted!

At this moment, Gu Erlang rushed into the courtyard and shouted, "Seventh Sister, the murderer who killed the cripple has been caught, and Master He has taken the murderer to Guhe Village to identify the scene."
