Meanwhile, Han Ziwei was also facing immense pressure. As soon as she stepped off the carriage, she was slapped hard across the face by her father, Han Bingmo.
"You unfilial daughter, how dare you come back? Look at the state you've ruined for your sister Ruyi! Don't you understand the principle of shared honor and shared disgrace? Now that your sister's reputation is ruined, are you proud of yourself?"
"Ziwei, your mother has treated you well, how could you do this to Ruyi? How is she going to live the rest of her life now! Waaah..."
Princess Huaiyin, Mu Xue'er, sobbed like a modern-day innocent lotus flower, while "Blood Purple Rose" sneered.
"I've said it before, I only have one mother, and that is my first wife, Wang Shuqing. Who do you think you are?"
Furthermore, what has Han Ruyi done? She has something on her mind. Before criticizing others, you'd better ask your precious daughter first. Don't just condemn others blindly; if you offend someone you shouldn't, you'll regret it.
"As expected of a merchant's daughter, she has no manners at all; she even talked back to her parents."
A sinister voice came from the side, causing "Blood Purple Rose" to furrow her beautiful brows.
"And who are you, you mad dog? Who gives you the right to speak here?"
Seeing that this person bore an eighty percent resemblance to Princess Mu Xue'er of Huaiyin County, "Xue Ziwei" immediately made the connection.
"Mu Xue'er's brother, Mu Xi, the son of the Prince of Jingnan."
"Ziwei".
Mother Wang Shuqing shook her head and lowered her voice.
"He is Mu Xi, son of the Prince of Jingnan, and a young general. He came today because he heard that Han Ruyi had been wronged and he wanted to seek justice for her."
"Sister, don't be afraid, I'll protect you."
The younger brother, Han Ruobin, supported by his maid Caiyun, stood in front of "Blood Purple Rose," and then gave a deep shout.
"Anyone who bullies my sister will have to get past me first."
"You little brat, you're asking for it."
Seeing this, Mu Xi kicked her younger brother Han Ruobin hard.
"ah……"
With a scream, everyone saw Mu Xi collapse to the ground in agony.
"Young General, Young General..."
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd as Mu Xi's legs began to turn black at an alarming rate.
"If we don't detoxify the young general quickly, I'm afraid he might lose his leg."
The "Blood Purple Rose" floated lightly, startling the Second Madam, Mu Xue'er.
"Quickly, summon the imperial physician."
After shouting for a while without any response from the servants, he let out another fierce roar.
"Are you all deaf? This princess is ordering you to summon the royal physician."
In her haste, Mu Xue'er displayed the dignity of a princess.
"Reporting to the Princess, since the First Madam took over the household, she dismissed the family physician, saying that since the physician could not cure her and the young master's illnesses, he was a quack and keeping him around would only waste the family's money."
The old nanny beside Mu Xue'er spoke up.
"Wang Shuqing, you good-for-nothing wretch who's good for nothing but ruining things."
Mu Xue'er pointed at the First Madam, Wang Shuqing, in a frenzy, but then heard "Blood Purple Rose's" cold voice say...
"It seems that the Second Madam has forgotten what it's like to eat excrement, and dares to point her finger at my mother."
Next time, believe me, I won't even let you eat shit!
"you……"
Upon hearing this, Mu Xue'er immediately withdrew her hand.
"Young General Mu, if you don't hurry back to your residence for treatment, I guarantee that you will soon lose your manhood."
Following the hand of "Blood Purple Rose," everyone looked over and saw that Mu Xi's poison had almost spread to the root of his thigh, turning it pitch black. Even those who didn't know medicine could tell that he had been poisoned.
"Let's go, let's get back to the manor quickly. Hurry..."
At this moment, Mu Xi panicked completely and roared.
"Brother, brother, didn't you want to get justice for Ruyi?"
Seeing her brother about to leave, Mu Xue'er hurriedly grabbed his hand, but then she heard the name "Xue Ziwei" floating lightly behind her.
"It's truly pathetic. You were so eager to seek justice for your niece, but now that you're poisoned, no one cares. Your sister only cares about her promiscuous daughter. You, her brother, are nothing more than a tool she uses to deal with me."
"Han Ziwei, stop trying to sow discord."
Before she could finish speaking, Mu Xue'er was slapped hard across the face by Mu Xi.
"You vile woman, I was even willing to stand up for you, but now that I'm poisoned, all you can think about is your daughter. If anything happens to me, I won't let you off the hook."
"No, brother, how could you say that to your sister? That's not what I meant..."
Mu Xue'er, who had been slapped by Mu Xi, choked back tears and cried. Mu Xi left, and the area outside the Prime Minister's residence immediately fell silent.
"Master, sob sob...you must do justice for me!"
At this moment, Mu Xue'er transformed into a delicate, fragile woman. Prime Minister Han Bingmo tenderly embraced her, then shouted at "Xue Ziwei,"
“You wretched girl, are you satisfied now? Yesterday you offended the Empress Dowager, and today you injured General Mu and offended Prince Jingnan. If they investigate, don’t say I won’t protect you.”
"Ha ha……"
Upon hearing Han Bingmo's words, Xue Ziwei burst into laughter, then raised her eyes.
"Father, you must be joking. Protect me? Just now, others came to your door to bully your son and daughter, and you didn't dare to utter a sound. Now you say you'll protect me? Don't you find that ridiculous?"
Having said that, ignoring Han Bingmo's anger, he walked up to his mother, Wang Shuqing, and his voice softened.
"Mother, let's go home."
"I'm home."
Han Ruobin, the younger brother, was extremely excited.
"I thought I was in grave danger, but I didn't expect it to be resolved so easily. It's all thanks to my sister. She's amazing."
Caught up in Han Ruobin's excitement, the servants at "Meilan Garden" also chatted and laughed.
"Young Miss is really amazing. If we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, we wouldn't have believed it."
"That's right. I used to think that Miss was stupid and was always being played by the Second Miss, but now it seems that she was just pretending."
"In short, I like this kind of lady."
...
Behind her, Mu Xue'er angrily broke off two of her long fingernails, her phoenix eyes flashing with cold light, her voice as icy as ice.
"Han Bingmo, I'm telling you now, one day I will kill your daughter. Don't blame me for being ruthless then."
"How could that be! As long as you're happy, I've disliked this wretched girl for a long time."
He's been a sycophant his whole life, and Han Bingmo is a complete lackey.
Back at "Meilan Garden," Wang Shuqing, the mother, dismissed everyone, then took Han Ziwei's hand, her face grave.
"Ziwei, your father is indeed a scoundrel, but he is right about one thing: yesterday you offended the Empress Dowager, and today you offended Mu Xi, which is equivalent to offending the entire Mu family. Prince Jingnan will not let you off the hook. How are you going to live from now on!"
"Sigh! We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Mother, don't worry about me, I'll handle it."
"Blood Purple Rose" was very confident, but Wang Shuqing was still worried.
"By the way, Ziwei, tell your mother the truth: why didn't the prince come today? Did you two have a fight?"
If the prince were here today, they probably wouldn't dare to be so arrogant. A woman needs a man to protect her throughout her life.
If this man loves you, then you will be happy; otherwise, you will find it difficult to move forward.
Ziwei, listen to your mother's advice. When you return, you must win over the prince's heart. Only if he is on your side will the Mu family and the Empress Dowager have anything to fear..."
The mother, Wang Shuqing, kept nagging, but "Xue Ziwei" could hear the care in her voice and felt a warmth in her heart.
But throughout her life, "Blood Purple Rose" never needed anyone's protection, especially that man who, after marrying her, immediately took a younger sister-in-law, which was truly disgusting.
Just as "Blood Purple Rose" was lost in thought, a startled cry came from outside the door from her maid, Baihe.
"Miss, Miss, come out quickly, something's happened..."
