Chapter 65: Warning I’m warning you, don’t get out of control.
A quarter of an hour later, Mu Xingchen arrived at the lobby.
This time, just like last time, the lobby was filled with several staring eyes and silence, and of course, there was also a certain amount of resentment mixed in.
Mu Xingchen followed the gaze and looked. Who else could it be but Mu Feitian?
These days, a group of low-level killers would appear in her yard from time to time, but before they even entered the yard, they were killed by the six gourd brothers hanging on the tree.
Mu Xingchen curled the corners of her mouth. He wanted to kill her so badly, but he couldn't touch her at all. She liked this feeling the most, where he couldn't stand her but couldn't kill her.
"Mu Qing! What are you looking at me for? You've done something shameful yourself, and you've even implicated Sister Yao." He looked at Mu Qi with hatred and accused him harshly, "Uncle, you absolutely cannot let her go. Otherwise, how can you be worthy of Sister Yao? You absolutely must stand up for Sister Yao."
Mu Lin and Mu Qingtian exchanged a glance, then watched the farce in silence. Mu Futian also subsided into his usual nonchalant demeanor, watching the show with a blank expression. Mu Qinxin, on the other hand, gave her a friendly smile.
This scene is really strange and bizarre, everyone has their own thoughts.
Seeing that she wasn't looking at him, Mu Qi slapped his hand downwards, breaking the corner of the chair he was sitting on. He pointed at Mu Xingchen's face and shouted angrily, "Rebellious girl! What have you done?"
Mu Xingchen turned around and said innocently, "Dad, I don't know anything."
Mu Qi was so angry that he almost gasped. "You! You know nothing!" He laughed out loud, his black beard twitching. "Let me ask you, when Prince Yan came to see you that day, did you personally agree to marry him as his concubine?"
Mu Xingchen said aggrievedly, "Father, Prince Yan barged into my courtyard that day. With his power, how could I resist him? Father, you know Prince Yan's temperament. I was definitely threatened. Please understand." She glanced at the butler and added, "If you don't believe me, you can ask the butler."
The butler paused, glanced at Mu Xingchen, then bowed to Mu Qi and said, "Master, that is indeed the case."
Mu Xingchen's smile deepened. This old man was indeed helping her.
She suppressed her smile and continued, "I thought father could guess all these things. After all, father is the imperial tutor of a country. How could he suspect that his daughter was deliberately causing trouble because of these things?"
Mu Qi narrowed his eyes and looked at Mu Xingchen with a complicated expression. When did his daughter become so eloquent?
Mu Xingchen said sincerely, "Prince Tianyan has been causing trouble for me time and time again, and he has undoubtedly trampled upon the dignity of the Imperial Tutor's Mansion. I beg father to make a decision for my daughter and my third sister."
Ge Yun rubbed her temples, clearly annoyed by the situation. She coldly asked, "Then let me ask you, Prince Yan clearly wanted to marry you that day, so how did he choose Mu Yao instead?"
Mu Xingchen said in panic, "Mu Qing doesn't know! I just remember being knocked unconscious, and when I woke up it was already night."
"You're lying!" Mu Feitian shouted bitterly, "You clearly just can't stand Third Sister and are deliberately trying to make trouble for her!"
"That's not the case!" Mu Xingchen immediately raised his head and said sternly, "If Third Sister doesn't want to, I will go to Prince Yan's Mansion and get her back."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole hall fell silent.
"Enough!" Mu Qi said coldly.
What a joke! Sending a concubine's daughter to be a concubine wasn't enough, and now he wants to use his legitimate daughter to exchange the concubine's daughter for her. If this matter gets out of hand, he, the imperial tutor, can be dismissed and go home tomorrow.
"Ge." He turned his head and looked at Ge Yun coldly, "The bottom line is that you didn't supervise strictly. As the mistress, how could you watch all this happen?"
Ge Yun sneered faintly, "The incident happened suddenly that day, how could I know Prince Yan's movements in advance? Besides, Master forgot that you didn't allow me to interfere in anything regarding Mu Qing in the mansion. I can still sit here and ask a few questions, which means I have fulfilled my responsibilities as the mistress."
Mu Qi's face turned dark in an instant.
Ge continued expressionlessly, "Master, instead of blaming me here, why not ask Aunt Zhou for her opinion?"
Xiao Qi reminded in the bracelet: "Mu Yao's mother's surname is Zhou."
Mu Xingchen followed the direction of everyone's gaze and saw a woman dressed rather simply and with an extremely gentle and elegant face standing quietly next to Mu Feitian.
Mu Xingchen raised an eyebrow. This was different from the character she had imagined. She thought it was the gorgeous type...
"I have no objection," Aunt Zhou said gently. "Since Ayao is already married, there's no point in replacing the eldest lady. Let's leave it at that." He then bowed to Mu Qi and said, "Master, please don't embarrass the eldest lady any further."
At this moment, everyone's faces were a little strange. Although the concubines in the mansion seemed to have good tempers, the one who disliked Mu Qing the most was the one in front of them.
Xiao Qi: "It's a bit weird. This guy used to be the most treacherous towards Mu Qing."
Mu Xingchen raised an eyebrow: "She can't stand Mu Qing?"
Xiao Qi explained, "Because she entered the mansion at the same time as Mu Qing's mother, if it weren't for Mu Qing's mother, she might have become the main wife. She is the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. In fact, if you put it this way, it was really Mu Qing's mother who interfered and disrupted her status. I guess that when Mu Qing was bullied by the side branch in the past, it was probably because of this person's instructions."
I see.
So what is she doing now? If this were to be known to others, it would be a deep hatred, so why would she still help her out now?
Xiao Qi said in a complicated tone, "Anyway, I feel it's related to Mu Yao's series of unnatural actions. Anyway, things have become a little complicated in the Mu Mansion now, so you should be careful."
Mu Feitian's eyes widened and he said jokingly, "Auntie Zhou, are you crazy? She caused Sister Yao to become a concubine, and you actually excused her!"
Aunt Zhou smiled and said gently, "Don't blame the eldest lady for this. It's all an unprovoked disaster."
Mu Feitian's eyes almost popped out of his head. No, what did this mean? How come everyone was leaning towards Mu Qing after such a short while?
"What the hell did you do, you bitch?" he said angrily to Mu Xingchen.
Mu Xingchen's mouth turned slightly cold. Some people's tongues will be cut tonight.
"Alright." Ge Yun said coldly, "The matter of Prince Yan ends here. But Mu Qing, since you are no longer engaged, then your engagement with Xiao Su will continue."
Mu Xingchen raised an eyebrow and subconsciously asked, "Didn't the mistress say not to interfere in anything I do?"
Ge Yun narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly, "How dare you!"
Mu Xingchen pretended to be startled. She looked at Mu Qi pitifully, "Father, Prince Yan just helped me break off the engagement the day before yesterday. Now that I haven't married into Prince Yan's mansion, I want General Xiao to fulfill the engagement. Isn't this just stepping on General Xiao's face? Father, General Xiao commands a large army after all. Doing this will only make our Mu family look too much."
Ge Yun sneered directly, "Don't worry, General Xiao won't mind. Don't you know, Mu Qing, that day Li Yan came to ask Xiao Su to break off the engagement, but Xiao Su refused?"
Mu Xingchen's heart sank. He hadn't agreed. No wonder Li Yanjian had taken such an unconventional approach, arriving in a sedan chair at noon, taking advantage of the moment when no one was prepared. But while Xiao Su hadn't verbally agreed, he hadn't stopped him either. He must have known what Li Yan was doing and was just watching the show. The outcome wouldn't affect him anyway.
Mu Xingchen smiled and said, "If the mistress doesn't think it will have any impact, then I have no objection."
Okay, then she will come and stir up this muddy water. If the Mu family is willing to make enemies, how can she not help?
But after she finished speaking, she felt inexplicably colder. She trembled and said, "Xiao Qi, someone is sending coldness towards me. It's summer, how come it feels like zero degrees."
Xiao Qi: "Hehehe, someone is squatting on the roof."
Mu Xingchen sniffed, it seemed that he would have to coax her again at night.
Mu Qi said in a deep voice: "The wedding is at the end of next month, so you should prepare well."
Mu Xingchen nodded and smiled sweetly, "Yes."
The moment she walked out of the lobby, she inexplicably felt even colder. Mu Xingchen looked at the sun suspiciously, but it was shining brightly outside.
She was speechless: "No, I'm the only one who can feel the cold, right? The others can't feel it???"
Has this person’s cultivation level improved to a higher level? Damn!
Xiao Qi: "You are right to doubt it."
She didn't take many steps.
"Mu Qing." Mu Lin called her from behind.
Mu Xingchen turned around and smiled slightly, "What's the matter, second sister?"
Mu Lin walked forward, then with a sneer on her face, she leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I'm warning you, don't get carried away."
Mu Xingchen's smile froze: "What did my second sister say?"
Mu Lin took her hand, handed her the hairpin in her hand, and then whispered: "Put your things away, and keep your best mouth shut."
Mu Xingchen's brows flickered as she looked at the petal in her hairpin. It was a petal that had fallen from Mu Qing's hairpin, which was made of a magnolia velvet flower. Because it was missing a petal, Mu Qing had kept it in her box. Since she came into this world, she had never worn the hairpin with the missing petal...
"And," Mu Lin continued coldly, "You've been pretending to be stupid all these years, hiding yourself quietly in the Mu Mansion. I don't care what your purpose is, but you'd better not threaten me and the Mu family." She turned her head slightly to look at Mu Xingchen's profile, then curled her lips and said softly, "Otherwise, I will definitely not let you go."
Mu Xingchen looked puzzled and said, "I don't know what Second Sister is talking about. The petals on this hairpin have been lost for a year."
Mu Lin sneered: "Pretend, keep pretending, I want to see how long you can pretend." After saying that, she left with a sneer.
Mu Xingchen looked at her back and subtly restrained his smile, "Someone is framing me."
Xiao Qi: "I don't understand. What on earth did Mu Qing threaten them with that would warrant such a fuss to get rid of her? The hairpin that was lost for a year actually turned up again, and at this time."
Mu Xingchen looked at the velvet flower in her hand. To be honest, she didn't really understand. But the purpose behind it was obvious: to kill Mu Qing without making a sound.
