"Cousin, please don't embarrass me."
Liu Zhang said solemnly, "Young Master is now responsible for the defense of Lin'an. We cannot afford to make any mistakes. Young Master has already issued strict orders. If you want to leave the city, I will not stop you. If anyone else follows you, they will be killed without mercy."
"presumptuous."
A nameless rage rose in her heart, and Ye Wanshu shouted angrily, "Do you know who is standing beside me? Aren't you afraid that your words will chill the hearts of the soldiers guarding the border?"
"That's why I have to be more cautious."
Liu Zhang said, "The northern defense is unstable now. There are rumors that the Mu family army is colluding with the northern bandits. This is a matter concerning the safety of the country. Without a clear order, as the person most closely connected to the Mu family army, I will never let the Marquis leave the city. I hope my cousin will forgive me."
"That's nonsense."
Ye Wanshu felt even more frustrated after hearing this. Little Zhang was so enthusiastic, but she was accused of treason based on just a few words from them.
Thinking of Gu Tingchen still unconscious in Cuiweitang, Ye Wanshu suddenly had an idea and said, "Liu Zhang, Miss Mu is an honored guest of the Duke's Mansion. I brought Miss Mu out, and neither my uncle nor the young master tried to stop me. Yet you acted recklessly. Aren't you afraid of having to explain yourself when you get back?"
"this......"
Liu Zhang also felt something was strange. The young master had clearly told him to keep an eye on the mother and daughter, so why did he suddenly let this little girl out?
I racked my brains but couldn't figure it out, and was speechless for a moment.
Seeing this, Ye Wanshu hurriedly said, "Aunt, every move you and the Mu family army make is tied to the Gusu Zhang family and the Yongning Palace. Since you have already submitted your resignation to His Majesty, why not take Qingqing to Yuezhou first and discuss matters later?"
After saying this, he motioned for the mother and daughter to get on the carriage together.
As soon as Xiao Zhang took a step forward, Liu Zhang and his soldiers drew their swords.
"Cousin, please don't embarrass me."
Liu Zhang said, "Since the young master has allowed us to go, please bring the Marquis' wife and Miss Mu with me back to the Duke's Mansion. If there is indeed no problem, I would like to apologize to you."
Xiao Zhang really wanted to follow the Mu family army north, but her only worry was her daughter's safety. Now that Qingqing had been taken out of the city by the princess, she no longer had any worries in her heart.
"Princess."
She was about to speak up to persuade him, but Ye Wanshu protected her and glared at Liu Zhang, "What if I don't agree?"
Liu Zhang sneered, "I would never dare to hurt my cousin, but I can't say the same about the wife of Marquis Dingyuan and Miss Mu."
At this moment, a low voice suddenly came from behind the sergeant: "What? Are you going to use force at the foot of the Imperial City?"
When everyone heard the sound and looked, they saw a tall figure walking down from a luxurious golden carriage.
"Master Prime Minister?" Mu Qingqing glanced at Ye Wanshu subconsciously: "Sister Wan, it's your father."
