Chapter 235 He is not dead
The old lady sneered: "Mr. An, do you know how your father died?"
With the words "Mr. An", everyone fell silent.
There was panic in Mu An's eyes.
Gu Huan was surprised. Could there be some hidden story?
Mu An then angrily said: "My father saved the life of Duke Yong, otherwise, how could he have inherited the title? How did you get the honor of being a first-rank lady?"
"Mu An, be careful with your words!"
Gu Huan was angry that someone dared to disrespect the old lady.
The old lady didn't care. She patted Gu Huan's hand and looked at Mu An with a calm tone: "Your father was impatient and eager for quick success. He disobeyed military orders and attacked without authorization, which led to him being surrounded. It was Mu Junyan who led the Black Armor Guards into the encirclement and rescued him.
During the evacuation, he was shot by an arrow from the enemy. He happened to be next to Mu Junyan at the time. Mu Junyan protected him behind him and was also hit by an arrow. Fortunately, the two of them evacuated safely under the protection of the Black Armor Guards. ”
Everyone present was stunned when they heard this.
The old lady said it very clearly. It was clear who saved whom.
"Before his death, your father entrusted you to Mu Junyan, hoping that he would help him raise his only son. Mu Junyan took into consideration the brotherhood between him and Mu Junyan, who had followed the old Duke to fight on the battlefield since childhood, and your father was also a strong man who had bravely killed countless enemies. Their relationship had always been like that of brothers, so he took you back to Bianjing without hesitation."
"Ask yourself, since you came to the Duke's Mansion, have we all treated you as a proper young master? You live a life of luxury, but how did you do it? You said you didn't want to join the army and didn't want to have to tie your head to your belt like your father, so Mu Junyan sent you to the Imperial College."
"But you said you didn't like reading, saying your bloodline was military and you couldn't read. And we indulged you, letting you do whatever you wanted."
"But, we were all wrong. You were blinded by the prosperity of Bianjing, which made you forget that you have the strong character of your father, and turned you into such a despicable playboy! You are dissolute, eating, drinking, gambling, and even killing people!"
"I don't like Jun Yan's indulgence of you. I think you will become a disaster for the Duke's Mansion one day, but he has no time to take care of you. I have been suffering from dementia for many years and it is inconvenient for me to take care of you. No one in the mansion dares to take care of you."
"I asked for you to marry Miss Gu because Mu Junyan had met Gu Huan and knew she was a kind girl. He hoped that with her company and influence, you could become a useful person. Unfortunately, Gu Huan was replaced and mistakenly married to Gu Wanru, who is as selfish as you."
Wang Linyi's face was filled with shame.
Looking at Gu Huan, he felt somewhat fortunate, otherwise it would have been Gu Huan who married the beast Mu An.
The old lady suddenly smiled and said, "Thanks to Huan'er's intelligence and bravery, otherwise, she would have been ruined by you! You let me have such a lovely daughter-in-law."
Only then did Gu Huan understand how complicated the matter was.
It turned out that she had never understood why Mu Junyan indulged Mu An so much. She simply thought that he was doing it for show to outsiders so that they would think that Mu Junyan had no successor.
"Mu An. Go back and reflect on yourself. If you can become a person like your father and carry forward the An family, you can still be saved."
After the old lady finished speaking, she waved her hand, and several guards who had been waiting on the side came forward, picked up the man and dragged him away.
"I don't believe it, you're talking nonsense! Mu Junyan received a great favor from my father, and you're just ungrateful! You're so ungrateful... woo woo."
Gu Huan held the old lady's hand and said, "Mother, I'm sorry to have frightened you."
Then he looked at Wang Linyi: "Are you okay?"
Wang Linyi nodded: "I'm fine."
Gu Huan helped the old lady walk into the house and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "It was Ziyuan's idea to seal the door."
The old lady nodded: "That child is just thinking of General An's kindness."
“In fact, he is a soft-hearted person.”
The old lady turned her head to look at him, and they smiled at each other.
"Don't worry, he is not confused about important matters."
"Um."
For half a month, the emperor rarely showed his iron fist and cut the Gordian knot, replacing the entire Ministry of War, confiscating, dismissing, and even exiling.
The situation was turbulent, and Mu Junyan was worried that the Jiang family would harm Gu Huan, so he told her not to go out unless necessary.
Occasionally, at the hour of Xu, Mu Junyan would return to the house from the secret passage and tell Gu Huan what progress had been made. Gu Huan, who had never left the house, knew what was happening outside.
Yuan Zhongyong was dismissed from his post and sent back to Yuan’s army in the northwest.
At this point, the highest-ranking official of the Jiang family in the Ministry of War was removed from office.
The main gate to Zuimoxuan had been repaired, and the Mu family no longer cared about his coming in and out.
He was provided with a carriage and servants, and was allowed to come and go as he pleased.
Mu An, who had been feeling depressed for several months, went to the Jiaofangsi as soon as possible.
After the Yichunyuan incident, all the private brothels in Bianjing were closed down, and dignitaries could only go to the Jiaofangsi if they wanted to have fun.
Seeing Mu An looking completely depressed, Jiang Jingchuan said with a smile, "Shall we give you a few more to whet your appetite today?"
Mu An looked at him lazily: "Prince Jiang, I have been locked up for several months and you can still laugh."
Jiang Jingchuan smiled and hooked the chin of a prostitute beside him: "Why don't you go and pour some wine for the eldest son of our Duke's Mansion?"
The prostitute smiled sweetly and walked towards Mu An: "Mr. Mu, I will drink with you."
Hearing Jiang Jingchuan's sarcastic words, Mu An angrily retorted: "Prince Jiang, weren't you confined to reflect on your mistakes? You went to the Jiaofang Bureau to enjoy yourself. Aren't you afraid that someone will impeach you? Your Jiang family was almost wiped out, and you are no better than me."
Jiang Jingchuan sneered: "My Jiang family is a century-old family of scholars and officials. What does a mere setback mean? Isn't my father still firmly in the position of Prime Minister, my eldest aunt is still a concubine, and my aunt is still the current empress dowager."
Mu An looked at him and felt aggrieved.
He took the wine from the prostitute's hand and drank it in one gulp without swallowing it. He clamped the prostitute's mouth and poured the wine into her. The prostitute choked and tried desperately to break free, but she was no match for the man's strength.
Mu An was still not satisfied, so he reached into her collar and pinched her hard.
The prostitute screamed and was then released.
The prostitute hastily pushed him away with red eyes, stood up angrily and bowed to Jiang Jingchuan: "Master Jiang, I cannot serve this young master. I will report and ask for someone I like to serve you."
Saying this, he was about to leave.
Mu An was furious that even a lowly prostitute dared to look down on him.
He grabbed the prostitute's feet and dragged her to the ground. He then sat on her and started to tear off her thin dress.
While tearing it apart, he cursed: "I'll fuck you in front of them, let's see if you have any shame!"
The prostitute screamed and cried and struggled: "Let me go, let me go!"
Jiang Jingchuan smiled: "Look at you, you don't know how to be gentle with women. The prostitutes here are all official prostitutes, not those private prostitutes you can bully at will."
Several young men who were playing together quickly went over to pull the person away.
All the prostitutes in the Jiaofangsi were official prostitutes, some of whom were kept by high-ranking officials. It would be difficult to explain if there was too much trouble.
What's more, Jiang Jingchuan is still under house arrest.
Mu An was pulled away by several people, and the prostitute ran away crying.
Jiang Jingchuan personally poured him a glass of wine: "There is only an old widow left, what are you worried about? The Duke's Mansion will be yours sooner or later."
Mu An took the wine glass and said angrily: "You don't know, that bitch actually dared to seal the door of the courtyard where I live now, separating my place from the main courtyard of the Duke's Mansion. What do you think she wants to do? She just wants to dominate the Duke's Mansion!"
"Ah, she is pregnant and has a posthumous child. If she gives birth to a son, the Duke's Mansion will indeed have nothing to do with you."
Mu An couldn't stand hearing this and drank the wine in depression.
Jiang Jingchuan winked at the young masters, and they left tactfully.
He hooked his arm around Mu An's shoulders and said, "I'll tell you one thing. If you can do this, I'll make sure you get everything in the Duke's Mansion."
Mu An's eyes lit up: "What's the matter?"
"We suspect that Mu Junyan is not dead."
Mu An's eyes widened: "What did you say?"
Jiang Jingchuan smiled lightly with a haze in his eyes: "The Jiang family suffered a heavy blow because there is a black hand behind the scenes manipulating all this. Looking at the entire Daliang, the only one who can mobilize the six departments to fight against our Jiang and Yuan families is Mu Junyan. Those bastards who impeached our Jiang family are all people who are on good terms with him."
Mu An felt a chill down his spine.
Jiang Jingchuan said slowly: "If it is confirmed that he is not dead, Mu Junyan will be guilty of deceiving the emperor."
