Today, Lord An came to visit for the first time.
As soon as he entered the door, he expressed his dissatisfaction with himself.
"Ayue, although the Marquis' Mansion treated you unfairly in the past, that was all without our knowledge. It must have been caused by those servants who pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed."
"But your mother truly loves you. Ever since she found out the truth, she's been crying every day. She doesn't even dare to see you, for fear of remembering how she ignored you in the past."
"As a child, how can you really hold a grudge against your parents? Ah Yue, no matter how angry you are, you should stop. Not everyone can indulge you. Only we, your family, are willing to tolerate you regardless of past grudges."
Oh, he really spoke as if he had committed a heinous crime. All the sufferings that the original owner had experienced since childhood seemed so light and insignificant when he spoke of them.
"Father, why did you come to see your daughter today?"
Perhaps thinking that he still cared about his father, Lord An immediately put on the airs of a father.
"I asked you to arrange a task for your eldest brother, but you didn't explain it clearly to the prince. As a result, the prince has already left for the war, and the matter is still unresolved."
"Forget it, let's just forget about this."
"Your eldest brother can just endure it and go to Silver Moon City to be a prefect. However, if your eldest brother wants to get this job, there are still many things he needs to take care of."
"You know, the Marquis's Mansion has spent almost all of its money preparing your dowry. How can we have any extra money left now?"
Oh! I get it. He wants me to pay. I don't know where he got the nerve to ask me for money.
You really think you are being taken advantage of. What kind of sweet dreams are you dreaming about?
Su Moyan said in an embarrassed tone.
"Father, it's not that I don't want to help my elder brother. You know that the prince took away a lot of supplies on this expedition, so of course he should take more silver as well."
"The money given by the palace is not much. If we want to win the war with Cangling Kingdom, Your Highness will have to pay for it out of his own pocket."
"This time, the prince went on the expedition and took away all the funds that the palace could mobilize. Even my dowry was exchanged for supplies for the prince to take away."
"I was thinking of returning to the Marquis' Mansion in a few days and asking you to borrow some for emergency use. Well, who knows, you don't have any either. Well, I'll think of other ways."
Mu Yunchen did take away a lot of supplies, and she gave him most of her dowry. It was well known that Mu Yunchen was not favored by the emperor.
Of course, the emperor was unwilling to support him more on the surface, and no one knew how much support he could provide in secret.
So on the surface, all the supplies used for the war were paid for by Mu Yunchen himself.
When Lord An heard his daughter say she had no money but was still unwilling to give up, he turned his calculating eyes and continued.
"Although the prince is not in the capital, the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who is on good terms with him, and the second son of the Zhenbei Palace, aren't they all in the capital?"
"You are Princess Zhan, and they have been good friends with the prince since childhood. Yue'er, can you please ask them to help your eldest brother get this assignment?"
What a calculation! You know they are good friends with Mu Kuichen, but what does that have to do with you? You are not familiar with them.
"Father, you are such a joke. I don't even know these two young masters, let alone asking them to do something for my eldest brother."
"Besides, my eldest brother has no talent or virtue. Why should he be sent to Silver Moon City as the prefect? He can just stay at home and eat and drink, and when you are old, he will inherit your title. Why does he have to fight for that position when he doesn't have the talent or virtue?"
Lord An glared at his daughter in front of him angrily and wanted to step forward and teach her a lesson.
"You are a heartless ungrateful person. I have worked so hard to raise you. I would never have let you marry into the prince's palace if I had not relied on the status of the marquis' mansion."
"Now that you've become the high and mighty Princess Zhan, you've turned your back on me, right? You want to kick our Anhou Mansion out? I tell you, forget it."
Before his raised hand could reach Su Moyan's face, Su Moyan slapped him hard in the face.
Ouch, this guy is so shameless that his hand hurts from hitting himself.
"Evil girl, you dare to hit your own father! Don't think that just because you are a princess, I won't dare to deal with you. Even if you are a princess, you are still my daughter."
Su Moyan raised her hand and called the guards to throw him out of the house.
There were many people watching outside the palace, and Su Moyan pretended to wipe away her non-existent tears.
"Father, please stop forcing me. I really don't have the ability to ask my brother to become the prefect of Silver Moon City!"
"Now that the prince is away at war, his life or death is uncertain. As his wife, your daughter recites scriptures and prays for him every day in the mansion, hoping that he will return safely soon."
"But not only do you not feel sorry for your daughter or care about your son-in-law, you even come here to force your daughter to use your connections to benefit you. Your daughter is truly heartbroken!"
When the onlookers heard her say this, they all pointed their fingers at Lord An.
"The prince is a great hero of our Beiling Nation. Now the Cangling Nation is coming again with such force. Even an ordinary citizen like me prays for him every day, hoping that the prince can return victorious soon."
"Yes, I just went to the Wanfo Temple a few days ago to pray for the prince's safety and blessings. I hope he can return victorious soon."
"I really don't know how this father can be. Even at this time, he still hopes that the prince will help him find benefits. How can his son be an official?"
Even though Lord An argued with everyone outside the door, it was of no avail. The emperor was furious when he heard the news.
The title of Marquis An was taken back, and they were demoted to commoners. Of course, the mansion they currently lived in was also taken back.
