Came with me? Did he hear everything? Mother Zhao turned pale with fear and collapsed to the ground.
You are not very courageous, how dare you dare to touch the earth on the head of Tai Sui? Mu Wanqing snorted coldly, "My second brother is simple and easy to coax, but I am not simple."
As your status and position rise, many people come to you with ulterior motives, but deceiving other people's feelings is too much.
Her second brother had no love experience, was kind and optimistic by nature, and was young and passionate. How could he withstand the calculations of those with ulterior motives?
The beauty trap has been the most effective strategy since ancient times, and even emperors and generals could not escape it.
Miss Zhao's mind went blank, she was flustered, and subconsciously scolded, "Even if you are the Princess of Qingping County, it is very rude to come in without invitation. Do you have the power to do whatever you want?"
Mu Wanqing smiled ostentatiously, "Yes, call someone to arrest me."
Who dares to arrest her? She is the second in command of Xiliang.
Miss Zhao knew the importance of power early on, so she was particularly eager for power.
For this, she is willing to give everything.
She was quick-witted, "Princess Qingping, the Second Young Master and I are in love with each other, and he said he would marry me."
This is to make Mu Wanqing cautious and careful.
Unfortunately, Mu Wanqing hated being threatened the most. "Oh, I don't agree."
There was a flash of annoyance in Miss Zhao's eyes. She had wanted to sneak around and win over Mu Ziang before the Mu family found out, so that Mu Ziang would marry her, even if it meant going to war with his family.
Parents who truly love their children will eventually compromise.
This is the only way for her to marry into the Mu family.
However, unexpectedly, Mu Wanqing discovered the matter as soon as there was a sign of trouble.
She had no other choice but to control the Second Young Master Mu. "You can control everything, but can you control your brother's marriage? Aren't you afraid that it will get out and become a laughing stock?"
This is useful for ordinary people, but Mu Wanqing has seen everything. She doesn't buy it.
"As the clan leader, it is my duty to manage the marriages of the clan members. Without my permission, I will see how you can enter the house."
Miss Zhao's expression changed several times, and she almost forgot that she was still the patriarch of the Mu family.
Damn it! Since this couldn't be resolved peacefully, she wouldn't be polite.
She suddenly raised her voice and shouted, "Help, there are robbers breaking in and killing people."
The noise alarmed the neighbors, who all ran over with their weapons in hand, asking, "Where is the robber?"
"You're so brave to come here and kill someone."
After a lot of trouble, they still couldn't find the robber. Everyone followed the Zhao mother and daughter's infatuated gaze and finally saw the girl in white sitting on the wall.
A scream of surprise broke out in the crowd, "Isn't this Princess Qingping? Princess, why are you here?" Still in this style.
"County Lady, Young Master Mu has also been here. Are the Zhao family your relatives?"
Mu Wanqing has a huge influence in Liangcheng. Everyone is so excited as if they have seen an idol, and they are all trying to talk to her.
Mu Wanqing chatted with them with a smile.
Mother Zhao finally made a move, with a smile on her face.
"County Lady, I didn't expect you to think so highly of my Ting'er and come to visit me. The Zhao family is overjoyed. I can guarantee that my Ting'er is a good girl who is suitable for a family. After entering the Mu family, she will be filial to her parents-in-law and her husband's sister-in-law. Ting'er, please promise me quickly."
She also has great acting skills, and her acting is very realistic.
Miss Zhao blushed, feeling extremely embarrassed, and didn't even dare to raise her head. "County Lady, I will be a good daughter-in-law and sister-in-law."
This is a forced sale.
The scene was silent for a moment, and then there were exclamations, "Oh my God, it turns out that the two families are going to get married, congratulations."
"County Lady, congratulations on having a second sister-in-law. It's a great joy to have another person who loves you."
"When is the wedding? We neighbors are going to have a drink at the wedding."
The atmosphere has become so tense that it would be difficult to end the relationship without getting married.
The Zhao family's mother and daughter were secretly proud in their hearts, knowing that the Mu family was a sure thing.
Miss Zhao thought to herself that it didn’t matter if Mu Wanqing didn’t like her. Once she became the second young lady of the Mu family, she would have plenty of opportunities.
As long as she can please her parents-in-law, win their favor, and have a few more grandchildren, she can secure her position as the second young lady.
No matter how domineering Mu Wanqing is, she is a girl who will get married eventually. As a person from a different family, how can she be the head of her natal family?
At that time, she will find a way to squeeze out the eldest daughter-in-law and let her own children inherit the Mu family, so that they will have a lifetime of wealth and glory.
He can also take advantage of the Princess Qingping and win without any effort.
Of course, when one person succeeds, everyone around him will benefit. When she gained power, her family naturally benefited as well and completely turned around.
She had thought of every step and was looking forward to decades of a better life.
Mu Qingqing's surprised voice rang out, "Hey, Miss Zhao knows my second brother? I am here because I am tracking down a spy."
As if a basin of ice water was poured over their heads, the Zhao mother and daughter raised their heads abruptly and looked at her in disbelief.
What is she talking about?
The neighbors were also shocked and buzzed. "What? Spy? What's going on?"
Mu Wanqing frowned slightly. "Someone bribed my servants to find out the preferences and whereabouts of everyone in our family. Is this to ambush us? Or to poison us? Look, we followed the clues all the way and found the Zhao family."
She was not talking nonsense. Miss Zhao had indeed bribed a servant and extracted a lot of information from her.
For example, knowing Mu Ziang's whereabouts in advance would make it easier for her to create an encounter.
Everyone gasped and took a few steps back. They didn't expect that the weak and fragile Zhao mother and daughter were spies. It was impossible to tell at all.
Yes, if you can see it at a glance, why would you be a spy?
They hid it so well. When I think about my usual interactions with the Zhao family, everyone’s faces were unhappy. I couldn’t help but wonder, what information did they get from it?
After all, this alley is inhabited by minor officials. Although their official positions are low, they are well-informed.
Miss Zhao was in a bad mood. She thought her plan was perfect, but Mu Wanqing broke it with just one sentence. "County Lady, I am not, I didn't."
She was a little furious, "I know, you didn't want me to marry into the Mu family, so you accused me of such a deadly crime."
Her eyes were red and two bean-sized tears rolled down. She looked pitiful, like a poor little girl who had been bullied.
"County Lady, I know I am not worthy of the Second Young Master. Please forgive our Zhao family. I can do anything, but my mother is old and in poor health. How can I bear to watch her suffer? Our Zhao family has lived a clean and honest life and treated others kindly, but we all did not have a good ending. Please open your eyes, God."
She knelt down with a plop, her whole body trembling, "County Lady, please, I kowtow to you."
Zhao's mother also reacted and rushed over, hugging her daughter and crying bitterly.
Their singing, reciting, acting and fighting were so miserable that they made people feel sympathy. Even the soft-hearted women were shaken. Perhaps there was some misunderstanding?
Princess Qingping is a good person and it is impossible for her to frame a weak woman. It can only be a misunderstanding.
Mu Wanqing raised a cool smile, "Your father raped and killed a commoner girl, and was exiled to Liangcheng in May of the year before last. Your brother fled for fear of the crime and his whereabouts are unknown. He is a wanted criminal of the court. Well, the Zhao family is innocent."
Her sarcastic tone, coupled with her disdainful expression, was particularly eye-catching.
It was like a bolt of thunder, stunning everyone present.
Isn't it said that he was ostracized, suppressed and framed by his opponents? Isn't it said that he was an honest official who would rather break than bend, and dared to fight against the powerful for the people?
However, there is no need for Princess Qingping to lie. If you inquire carefully about these things, you can still find out.
So, they were all deceived? It was a waste of their care for them. Damn, I'm so angry.
Miss Zhao's eyes went dark and her body was staggering. She had not expected to be exposed so early.
She didn't dare to deny it, nor could she deny it. She could only scream hysterically, "My father was framed. He is innocent."
Unexpectedly, Mu Wanqing said lightly, "Are you saying that the emperor is old and confused and can't distinguish right from wrong?"
Miss Zhao was going crazy, her face was ashen, "No, no, no, that's not what I meant."
She has always been proud of her intelligence, and she can fool everyone with her mouth. However, when she met the truly smart people, she realized how big the gap was.
All-round rolling.
Mother Zhao was sweating profusely and shaking all over, as if she had some serious illness.
Mu Wanqing looked at the mother and daughter calmly, "The Zhao family is a major suspect. Don't run around without the permission of the government. Stay at home and wait for the result. If you go out, it means you have automatically admitted your guilt."
She bowed to the others and said, "Everyone, if there is any movement in the Zhao family, please tell the patrol officers nearby."
Everyone returned the greeting, extremely respectful, "Yes, yes, don't worry."
A hot-blooded young man glared at Miss Zhao with disgust. He actually treated such a woman as a fairy, giving her small gifts and helping her with the rough work.
"County Lady, why don't you just put him in jail?"
The fans turned to haters and stepped back, which was extremely destructive.
Hate lasts longer than love.
Mu Wanqing's lips curled up slightly, "Play the long game to catch the big fish."
Everyone was confused but didn't dare to ask. How could they know such military secrets? "I understand. The county lady is wise."
Mu Wanqing raised her hand, and a woman in tight clothes appeared out of nowhere, hugged Mu Wanqing's body, bounced a few times, and disappeared in front of everyone.
Only a guilty and terrified mother and daughter and their neighbors who hate them are left. Tremble.
Inside the carriage, Mu Wanqing picked up a piece of crispy candy and started eating it to fill her stomach.
Li Dong, who was sitting next to him, hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously, "County Lady, why did you take care of them all in one go? That woman looks very cunning and will not be willing to fail like this. What if... she finds a chance to run out and find the Second Young Master..."
Mu Wanqing stuffed the last bite of crispy candy into her mouth, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Although our Mu family has experienced exile, we haven't suffered much. My two brothers have never seen the darkest side since they were young. They have been smooth sailing all the way and have never been beaten by society. They are kind and innocent, and don't guard against others. Alas, you can blame me for being too capable and powerful."
It is easy to change the country, but difficult to change one's nature.
The eldest brother is better. He is the eldest son and has high hopes from his parents. He has a steady personality, loves reading, and likes to use his brain when encountering problems.
But the second brother is a man of strong limbs, simple mind, and not very scheming. He always sees the good in others and is particularly easy to make friends with. He can talk to people from all walks of life.
Each has its own merits.
Lidong's mouth twitched. Both of his young masters were excellent and each had his own strengths.
To be honest, she prefers the second young master, who is kind, easy-going and not arrogant. The eldest young master, on the other hand, has a sense of distance and is intimidating.
"What do you want?"
Mu Wanqing said calmly, "Since someone has offered to serve as a whetstone, let Second Brother hone his skills. It is better to suffer a small loss now than to suffer a big loss and lose his life in the future. With me watching over them, nothing big can happen. But I can't watch over them forever. They have to be independent eventually."
Both abilities and character need to be honed, neither can be neglected.
From now on, they will have to rely on their own abilities to survive in this world, and she can't always protect them.
As her status rises, more and more people pay attention to her and also target the people around her.
There will be no shortage of conspiracies and tricks. She can protect for a while, but not for a lifetime. Everyone must be able to protect themselves, and the blacksmith must be strong himself.
Li Dong spoke weakly, "You can directly point it out and let the second young master see the truth, which can also temper him."
Mu Wanqing picked up another pancake and ate it. "If you don't experience it yourself, you won't feel the same way, let alone the pain. If you don't fall hard, you will never learn your lesson. This can be regarded as frustration education. You have to go through it every time."
If you can't be ruthless now, you will be sad in the future.
"But, if it affects the relationship between the Second Young Master and you, it will be more trouble than it's worth." This is what Lidong is most worried about. The Mu family has a particularly good family atmosphere. They love each other and have deep feelings for each other.
"That woman will sow discord."
A cold light flashed in Mu Wanqing's eyes. "If he is easily deceived, then the cheap brother-sister relationship is better off gone."
She is not a saint who gives without asking for anything in return.
Having said that, Lidong didn't dare to say any more. He sighed silently and said, "Second Young Master, you're on your own. I can't help you."
Mu Wanqing didn't mention anything when she returned home. She just chatted and laughed with her family as usual.
He still goes out early and comes back late, busy with official duties.
Mu Ziang is a responsible man. Although he doesn't dare to mention the marriage directly to his parents, he tried to mention it in a roundabout way once, but was scolded by Mrs. Mu.
He really had no choice but to ask his sister for help. He wanted to have a good talk with Mu Wanqing, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity.
On this day, Mu Wanqing received a tip-off that Miss Zhao found the right opportunity to sneak out through the back door and find Mu Ziang.
The two met? Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows, "Keep watching, don't show up until the critical moment."
"yes."
The time to test Mu Ziang has come.
