Mu Jin, the legitimate daughter of a military family, is a woman who is disdained by her husband and driven out of the house. When she returns, she learns that her husband has taken a new lover. On...
"Is there any news about my elder brother?"
Su Yi turned to look at Mu Jin, but his expression was not the usual playful one he had with Mu Jin. Instead, there was a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.
He turned and walked towards Mu Jin: "Let's go inside and talk."
Mu Jin stepped aside to let Su Yi enter his room. After she closed the door, she turned back and hurriedly asked Su Yi, "Did something happen to my older brother?"
Su Yi took Mu Jin's hand and led her to the tea table to sit down.
Su Yi looked into Mu Jin's eyes and said, "Mu Yan has already returned to the Eastern Yue camp."
Upon hearing this, Mu Jin immediately exclaimed happily, "Really? That's wonderful!"
But her happiness didn't last long; she seemed to realize something. She stopped smiling and looked at Su Yi.
"No, it's a good thing that my elder brother has returned to the Eastern Yue camp, so why are you acting like this?"
Su Yi seemed to find it difficult to speak. He lowered his head, somewhat unable to look Mu Jin in the eye. After all, he had promised Mu Jin that he would rescue Mu Yan, and it was his men who failed to rescue Mu Yan ahead of time.
Mu Jin urged, "Just say it already."
Su Yi looked up, met her eyes, and spoke with difficulty.
"Ah Jin, no matter what happens, I hope you can stay calm."
Hearing Su Yi say this, Mu Jin became even more nervous: "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and say it."
It turned out that when Su Yuntian went to the Beiqi camp for peace talks, he agreed to end the dispute between the two countries by returning the three cities that Dongyue had seized from Beiqi last year, as well as 100,000 shi of grain to help Beiqi overcome the crisis of last year's snow disaster.
Of course, Mu Yan also returned to the Eastern Yue camp with Su Yuntian after the peace talks between the two countries ended.
Mu Jin said anxiously, "Isn't this a good thing? The peace talks between the two countries have ended, my brother has returned to the Dongyue camp, and everyone is happy."
A cold glint appeared in Su Yi's eyes as he said in a deep voice, "After Mu Yan returned to the Dongyue camp, Su Yuntian obtained evidence from Beiqi that the Mu family army was colluding with Beiqi."
“Now, not only your father and your brother, but also some of the generals of the Mu family army have been temporarily imprisoned on charges of treason and collusion with the enemy. They will be escorted back to the capital for trial tomorrow.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Jin's eyes immediately turned red. She shook her head in disbelief, her voice trembling as she said, "This is impossible!"
