Only then did Mu Hanyan realize that there was another reason why Mu Zexian was abandoned by his family, and she felt a little sympathy for him.
Then again, Mu Hanyan was rather disapproving of the Grand Elder's actions. While it wasn't a bad thing to be strict in teaching younger generations, ruining someone's future over such a small matter was a bit too much. Even if this wasn't his intention, didn't he understand his position within the Mu family? Didn't he realize how devastating his scolding would be to the younger generation?
This Supreme Elder either has bad intentions or is simply senile and muddleheaded! It might be a bit disrespectful to say this, but Mu Hanyan really thought so.
"Then I won't go." After hearing what Han Yun'er said, Mu Hanyan naturally wouldn't make herself unhappy and try to please someone else.
As she spoke, Mu Hanyan pushed open the gate, but did not see Aunt Xiu.
"Young Master, you're back. I'll prepare dinner right away. The Grand Elder just came out of retreat, and the head of the family and all the elders and servants went to greet him. I was also called to serve, so I was delayed in cooking for you." At this moment, Aunt Xiu hurried back, jogging and apologetically speaking to Mu Hanyan.
Although Mu Hanyan adopted Han Yuner as her sister and never treated her as a servant, she did not dare to be impolite.
"It's okay, we have already eaten, Aunt Xiu, you should take a rest too." Mu Hanyan said with a smile.
"Brother Hanyan just took us to Yingfeng Tower. It really deserves to be the number one restaurant in the capital. The dishes are so delicious." Han Yuner said happily to her mother.
"Why are you making the young master spend money again, you greedy girl." Aunt Xiu certainly knew what Yingfeng Tower was. She also knew that if Han Yun'er hadn't been so nosy, Mu Hanyan probably wouldn't know about this restaurant. She said nervously.
"Aunt Xiu, you're too kind. Yun'er is my sister. It's no big deal to have a meal with her. Besides, this meal doesn't cost much money." Mu Hanyan said with a faint smile.
"Yes, yes, it's only over one hundred taels." Han Yuner said with a smile.
"More than one hundred taels?" After so many years in the Mu Mansion, Aunt Xiu has some experience. Of course, she knows how much it costs to have a meal in Yingfeng Tower. She was slightly stunned after hearing Han Yuner's words.
But when Han Yuner told Aunt Xiu about what happened before, even she was a little bit amused and helpless: This young master has a really big reputation, he is simply feared by everyone!
Seeing that it was getting late, they chatted for a while and then went back to their rooms.
After returning to the room, Mu Hanyan was about to wash up and go to bed early, but when she glanced around, she suddenly exclaimed, and saw an ancient-looking short sword placed on the bedside.
Compared with ordinary long swords, this sword is half as short and half as wide, which makes it look unusually solemn. In fact, it looks more like a huge badge.
Mu Hanyan picked up the dagger casually and took a closer look. There was a word "Mu" engraved on the front of the dagger, and a word "Ling" engraved on the back. It seemed to be a real token.
It’s strange, how come there is such a token in my house?
Mu Hanyan was just about to find Aunt You to ask about it when she heard a deafening roar filled with anger, followed by a burst of rapid alarm bells.
Could something big have happened? Mu Hanyan didn't think much about it and rushed out immediately. Hua Yue and others also noticed something was wrong and left the room and came to the yard.
"What happened?" Mu Hanyan asked Aunt Xiu in confusion.
"I don't know either, but something big must have happened. This is the bell used by the clan to sound an alarm. This is the first time I've heard it in all the years I've been in the Mu family." Aunt Xiu answered nervously.
"I'll go out and take a look." Mu Hanyan said as she walked out.
"By order of the head of the family and the elder, all the disciples and servants of the main family must stay in the courtyard and are not allowed to leave. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!" However, before Mu Hanyan could leave the courtyard, two guards blocked his way.
Mu Hanyan was shocked. What had happened that made her grandfather and the Supreme Elder who had just come out of seclusion feel like they were facing a formidable enemy?
The strength of the two guards in front of her was not very strong, at least they could not kill her, Mu Hanyan, but Mu Hanyan knew the weight of the order from the head of the family and the supreme elder. No matter who violated the order, they would be the enemy of the entire Mu family and would definitely die without a burial place.
"What happened?" Mu Hanyan quickly stopped and asked.
"The order of the elders of the Grand Elder was stolen. It is said that it should still be in the mansion. Now the elders and ministers are searching for it with all their might." The guard did not hide it and said to Mu Hanyan.
The order of the Supreme Elder was lost. Anyone with a little common sense would know that it had nothing to do with the descendants of the Mu family. The reason for issuing this order was simply to prevent the thief from escaping from the mansion by taking advantage of the situation, so there was no need to hide anything.
"The Supreme Elder's token has been stolen!" Mu Hanyan's mind seemed to flash with lightning, and she immediately remembered the token that inexplicably appeared in her room. Then, she remembered the two familiar figures just now.
She'd been tricked! Mu Hanyan's heart sank. They'd actually framed her!
"You are so bold that you even dare to steal the order of the Supreme Elder. You are so audacious." Of course, Mu Hanyan would not show it and cursed with a face full of righteous indignation.
"Yeah, it would be fine if he just stole something else, but he even dared to steal the elder's order. I don't know where this stupid thief came from. Isn't he courting death?" A guard also cursed.
"It's fine if he wants to die, but why drag us into it? Once the elder's order is found, we don't know how severe the punishment we will face." Another older guard said with a sigh.
After hearing his words, the guard's face changed. He had forgotten that someone had sneaked into the Mu Mansion and stole the token of the Supreme Elder. The guards were to blame for it. Now they were busy looking for the token and no one paid attention to them. Once they found it, it would be their bad luck.
"By the way, how did you know the token was still in the mansion?" Mu Hanyan asked, feigning curiosity. She couldn't care less about their anxiety; in fact, her heart was in turmoil.
Someone left the Supreme Elder's Order in her room, which was clearly a frame-up, but who could testify for her? Once the "dirty thing" was found, she would not be able to explain herself even if she jumped into the Longyan River.
Even if she is not killed, she will definitely be kicked out of the clan. If she is unlucky, she may not even be able to keep her cultivation.
This method is too despicable and too cruel!
"I heard that the token of the Supreme Elder is bonded with blood. As long as you spend some effort and use some spiritual power, you can feel it." Although the elderly guard was also confused, he was still calm.
