In the courtyard of the old lady of the Mu Mansion.
Mousse went to his mother's yard as soon as he came back from outside. He had beaten up Prince Ding today. Although it was for his niece, he had to apologize to his mother. Even if he was punished by his mother, he would not regret it.
"Madam, the Second Master is kneeling at the gate of the yard!" When the servants around the old lady saw their Second Master kneeling at the gate of the yard, they knew that the Second Master was in trouble again.
The old man had just finished dinner and was a little upset when he heard the report from the servants. His second son had been restless all day. He didn't know what trouble he had gotten into today that he was kneeling at the gate of the yard so consciously.
"Go and call the Second Master in. Don't embarrass yourself by kneeling outside the courtyard gate." The old lady was helpless. They were all officials in the court. It was inappropriate for them to kneel outside the courtyard.
"It's the old lady." The servant hurried out and called his second master in.
Mousse was very self-conscious. He knelt down in front of his mother after he came in and said, "Mom, my son made a mistake again!"
The old lady didn't even look at him. She picked up the tea and took a sip slowly before asking, "Tell me, what did you do this time?"
"I just beat up Prince Ding." Thinking back on it now, Mousse still feels that he didn't hit too hard.
"What? Why do you hit him for no reason? His grandmother and father are both confused and protective of their children." Although the old lady hated the Prince Ding, she really didn't want to cause trouble.
When he heard that his second son was beating Prince Ding, it was as if the fatal voice of Prince Ding's grandmother immediately rang in his ears, and his head began to hurt unconsciously.
"He asked Shu'er to be his concubine in the street. He is not worthy of it. I will not only beat him today, but also beat him every time I see him in the future." Mousse now blames himself for not performing well. The more he thinks about it, the angrier he gets.
"Asshole, he can only covet my Shu'er. Good fight, beat him up again next time I see you. You get up first, you did nothing wrong today, you have done a great job."
When the old lady heard that Prince Ding was planning to target her granddaughter, she was furious. She felt that the beating her second son had not been too lenient and she herself wanted to beat Prince Ding up.
"Shu'er, are you okay? I want to go see my dear granddaughter. She must have suffered so much injustice." The old lady was about to go see her precious granddaughter, but was stopped by Mousse and her personal servants.
"Mom, Shu'er is fine. When I arrived, Third Master Wen and Er Zhu protected Shu'er. Now she has returned to Ningyuan to rest. Mom, it's getting late, so let's not disturb Shu'er."
"Send someone to the Wen Mansion to express gratitude. Erzhu will be rewarded for his meritorious service in protecting the master. Send Shu'er a cup of calming tea." The old lady is a crazy dote on her granddaughter. She likes anything that is good to her granddaughter.
"Mom, you are really the best grandmother in the whole capital." Mousse was very happy. With his mother's support, he would go and beat up Prince Ding tomorrow.
"Such a big thing happened, where is your elder brother?"
"Mother, my eldest brother hasn't returned yet. I have asked someone to wait at the door. As soon as my eldest brother comes back, I will go to him to discuss going to court tomorrow to sue Prince Ding and Prince Ding's son."
"My daughter has been bullied. If he, as a father, doesn't vent his anger for her, I will break his legs." The old lady became furious when she thought that her eldest son didn't know about it.
"Mom, don't worry. Big brother will never let that Prince Ding go. It's getting late. You should go to bed early. I'll go to the study to wait for big brother. I promise to help Shu'er vent his anger tomorrow. If not, I will break into Prince Ding's mansion at night and beat up Prince Ding again."
Seeing that his mother was about to get angry, Mousse hurried forward to comfort her, fearing that his mother would vent her anger on his eldest brother, who was truly wronged.
"Don't go alone. Take your elder brother and Sishu with you. They are better at martial arts and stronger than you. They will definitely be more capable of beating Prince Ding." The old lady said worriedly.
Mousse was shocked. Was this still her mother who always told her family not to cause trouble? She even despised him for being useless. Mousse was very hurt and decided to beat the prince up again to prove himself.
"Okay, don't stay here with me anymore. You did a great job this time. You are a good son to your mother. Go and wait for your elder brother. Venting for Shu'er is a big deal."
It was rare for the old lady to praise Mousse, and it was because of a fight. Mousse felt a little flattered. As expected, Shu'er was his little lucky star. Even fighting was praised by her mother. He was happy.
"Hey, mom, you take a rest first. I'll go wait for big brother." Mousse came nervously and went back happily.
On the way, she met Rong Qing who was rushing over. Seeing her husband's happy look, Rong Qing anxiously asked, "Husband, did you make your mother-in-law angry again? The servants said you were kneeling in front of the gate of my mother's yard. Why are you back?"
"Hahaha, my madam's mother asked me to get up, and my mother even praised me." Mousse was showing off to his wife at this moment.
"Husband, what on earth happened?" Rong Qing became more and more confused the more he listened.
Seeing that his wife was anxious, Mousse told Rong Qing the whole story. Rong Qing was so angry that he trembled.
"Prince Ding is so brave. My husband, please go and wait for my elder brother. I'll go see Shu'er."
When Rong Qing heard that his little niece was bullied, he went straight to his sister-in-law's yard and told her about it. Song Wei was so angry that she smashed a vase, and sent someone to send a letter to the Duke of Song's Mansion overnight to impeach Prince Ding at the morning court the next day.
Song Wei calmed herself down before going to Guiningyuan with Rong Qing to see her daughter. She was now terrified. If her second brother had not arrived in time, she didn't know what would have happened to her daughter. Fortunately, there was the Third Master Wen, Erzhu, and Xiaotao.
Song Wei and Rong Qing stayed in Murong Shu's yard until very late before going back. Seeing that Murong Shu really didn't take it to heart, the two sisters-in-law went back with peace of mind.
Murong Shu sent the two to the door. Seeing their worried eyes, Murong Shu held his mother and second aunt's hands and said, "Mother, second aunt, Shu'er has the ability to protect herself. The master has taught Shu'er self-defense. I have self-defense powder on me. The only unlucky ones are others."
Song Wei and Rong Qing then remembered that Murong Shu knew medicine and that self-defense powder was a good thing, and they felt much better.
"Aunt, please thank uncle for me." Murong Shu felt warm in his heart when he thought of Mousse's selfless protection. His uncle and aunt had always been 100% sincere and loving to her.
"You uncle and nephew are not into these things. Besides, this is the first time that your second uncle has been praised by your grandmother for fighting. Maybe he is thanking you in his heart!" Rong Qing couldn't help laughing when she thought of her husband's smug look just now.
When Mu Shi returned home and learned about this, he was so angry that he wanted to break into Prince Ding's mansion at night and break Prince Ding's legs, but was stopped by Mu Si.
"Brother, I beat him up severely this afternoon. If you beat him up again now and kill him, we will file a complaint with the emperor tomorrow. You should be patient for a day. After you file the complaint tomorrow, we will beat him up at night. This way, if anything happens to him, it will have nothing to do with us."
But Mu Shi was unwilling to give up, so he asked his second brother to demonstrate to him how to beat the prince. At the end, he pointed out many unprofessional aspects of his attack and how to use force to beat him more miserably.
Mousse was confused, "Brother, are you polite? You still have to correct homework after fighting!"
