Chapter 148 It's all thanks to the Crown Princess again.
The man sighed heavily, turned to Xiao Qingyuan, knelt down and kowtowed to him: "Shi Hong thanks Your Highness for the great kindness of A-Ge's deceased parents. I heard that Your Highness saved my niece from the thieves and then took her in to live in the Prince's mansion. A-Ge is truly fortunate to have Your Highness's protection."
“As A-Ge’s uncle, I can’t let her stay in the Prince’s mansion forever. I came here today specifically to bring my niece home. My mother cried for a long time after hearing about my sister and brother-in-law’s passing, and now she’s been waiting and hoping for her granddaughter to come home!”
Xiao Qingyuan nodded: "Since he's my maternal uncle, I should naturally take Mu Ge back with me, then..."
Before he could finish speaking, Mu Ge knelt down as well: "Your Highness, he's not my uncle, you can't let him take me away!"
Shi Hong hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I really am her uncle. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to inquire. We are from Stone Town. A-Ge's mother is named Shi Xiang, and she is a famous beauty in our surrounding area! If I were not A-Ge's real uncle, and if I didn't truly love this niece, why would I brave such a heavy rain to come to the Prince's Mansion to take her home?"
Mu Ge burst into tears: "Your Highness, don't listen to his nonsense. I don't know this person at all. Someone must dislike me and doesn't want me to stay in the Prince's Mansion anymore, so they found me a fake uncle and used the excuse of taking me home to kick me out!"
She was sobbing uncontrollably when someone walked in from outside.
Xiao Qingyuan was slightly taken aback after seeing his face clearly: "Yancheng? What are you doing here?"
Yancheng stood ramrod straight: "Your Highness, the Prince has already sent people to investigate. This Shi Hong is indeed Mu Ge's maternal uncle. The Prince sent his subordinates to inform Your Highness that Miss Mu should be reunited with her family. Forcibly keeping someone else's daughter in the mansion will incur divine retribution."
Xiao Qingyuan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. His father was so afraid that he would be punished by heaven if he kept Mu Ge.
Did he really want to keep Mu Ge alive? He just didn't want to waste Mu Ge's life.
However, now that Mu Ge's own uncle has come to demand her return, he naturally has no more reservations: "Alright, there's no need to say anything more. Shi Hong, take Mu Ge and leave!"
Shi Hong was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
Mu Ge was both shocked and furious. She hurriedly rushed forward and hugged Xiao Qingyuan's leg: "Your Highness, please don't send me away. If I go out, I'll be dead. That thief won't let me go. I'm only safe in the Prince's mansion!"
Xiao Qingyuan kicked her away in disgust and said coldly, "You clearly have relatives alive, but you lied to me and said you didn't! This person is clearly your own uncle, yet you refuse to acknowledge him! I don't think you can tell a single truth from your mouth, and your heart is black!"
Mu Ge's face turned deathly pale: "I didn't, everything I said is true. Your Highness, please have mercy and let me stay in the Prince's mansion for a few more days. I promise I will behave myself!"
Xiao Qingyuan didn't look at her anymore. He turned to look outside and said, "Although you imitate Yan Luo in every way, you are not even as good as a single hair on her head. Yan Luo would never be so humble and beg for mercy. As a person, you should be like her, with backbone and pride."
Mu Ge's head was about to explode. What kind of time was this? Why was he praising Chu Yanluo again?! If he didn't want to keep her, he didn't want to keep her, but why did he have to stab her in the heart?
Xiao Qingyuan, unaware of Mu Ge's thoughts, called out, "Mo Ji, see the guest out!"
Mo Ji stepped forward: "Gentlemen, please! Our young master has other matters to attend to, you should leave now!"
Shi Hong stood up and dragged Mu Ge out.
In no time, the news that Mu Ge had been taken away by her uncle spread throughout the entire Prince's mansion.
Because of the heavy rain, the servants in the mansion stopped working and gathered in twos and threes, chatting idly.
"You've all heard, right? Mu Ge left, and she cried so bitterly that it was unbearable. Anyone who didn't know better would think she'd been kidnapped by human traffickers!"
"Oh, is that really her uncle? Didn't they say she didn't have any relatives?"
"Of course it's her own uncle. The Crown Princess helped her find him, how could that be fake?"
"Oh dear, since it was the Crown Princess who helped find it, it must be perfect!"
"That's right, that's right. Since the Crown Princess took charge of the household, we haven't seen her make a single mistake. She can even read the celestial phenomena. If she says it will rain, it will rain. You can't argue with that!"
"Wasn't Mu Ge just lying to people before? Her uncle is clearly alive, but she insisted that her whole family was dead and that she was all alone."
"Tch, if she didn't say that, would the young master have kept her? Of course, she had to make her background sound as tragic as possible. She's taking advantage of our young master's soft heart!"
"That's great! There are no more cats and dogs in our manor. The prince and princess can finally be a loving couple."
"The Crown Princess's move to cut off the source of the problem is brilliant! Mu Ge had previously tried to climb into the Crown Prince's bed, attempting to become his concubine. Now, she has angered the Crown Princess and sent her away!"
"So everyone, be smart. It's better to offend the Crown Prince than the Crown Princess, or you'll be completely finished!"
...
Shaoguang Academy.
Upon hearing the news about Mu Ge, Princess Ning's weary expression, which had been lingering for several days due to illness, began to fade. She couldn't help but ask again, "Granny, is Mu Ge really gone?"
Granny Quan beamed, "Your Highness, she's really gone."
"That bastard agreed to let her go?"
"I heard that this time it was the Crown Prince himself who ordered them to leave!"
Princess Ning sat up abruptly, somewhat incredulous: "How could this be? Last time, he argued with me like a hothead over that Mu Ge, and even said he wanted to take her as a concubine in order to keep her! How could he release her so easily this time?"
Granny Quan whispered, "Before, when you were ill, there were some things I didn't tell you. A few days ago, that Mu Ge impersonated Chu Yanluo and climbed into the young master's bed. The young master was in a daze and almost fell for her trick. After he sobered up, he threw a huge tantrum!"
"The Crown Prince was just getting tired of Mu Ge when the Crown Princess brought Mu Ge's uncle over. Mu Ge's uncle asked the Crown Prince for her, so the Crown Prince naturally handed her over quickly."
“Mu Ge has relatives still alive, and more than one or two, but she keeps saying she has no relatives left. The young master feels that he has been deceived by Mu Ge, and he is still sulking in his room right now!”
Princess Ning listened in a daze. After a long while, she finally reacted: "So this time, it was the Crown Princess's doing again? She found Mu Ge's uncle and exposed Mu Ge's lie, which is why Yuan'er drove him away in a fit of anger?"
Granny Quan nodded repeatedly: "That's right, the Crown Princess is really amazing. Even in this storm, she managed to find people. It's clear that she has been keeping this matter in mind."
