But just then, Lord Mu's sharp voice rang out.
"How dare you, Mu Yazhi! You unfilial daughter, how dare you threaten the Prince and even threaten to kill yourself! You have utterly disgraced me!"
Lord Mu shouted loudly, then strode into the temple.
Mu Yazhi froze, looking at Lord Mu in disbelief.
Feng Ji stood still, a barely perceptible smile flashing in his eyes.
Mu Quan already felt somewhat guilty for coming to the temple alone, especially since Mu Yazhi was also present.
Therefore, Feng Ji believed that Mu Quan would come here soon.
And that's how the scene just now came about.
Mu Quan stormed forward and slapped Mu Yazhi across the face. Mu Yazhi lost her balance and was knocked to the ground.
Immediately following was the Prime Minister's anxious voice.
“My lord, there is no need to be so angry. After all, the third young lady is someone you have watched grow up. Even if the third young lady’s behavior is somewhat improper, my lord does not need to be so ruthless.”
Seeing the situation before him, the Prime Minister had already lost his composure, saying whatever came to mind without thinking.
Mu Quan didn't hear anything else. Right now, the only word on Lord Mu's mind was "misconduct".
Lord Mu felt utterly humiliated by being ridiculed by the Prime Minister.
Moreover, there's a carefree prince standing here.
That's incredibly embarrassing.
In the temple, Mu Yazhi actually forced the Prince of Xiaoyao to marry her. This was truly immoral and disgraceful, not only insulting the ancestors but also the Bodhisattvas in the temple!
How shameful!
Lord Mu grew angrier and angrier, and even considered taking action. Prime Minister Shen, who was standing nearby, hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Lord Mu's arm.
"My lord, you mustn't hit her anymore. The Third Miss is a girl. If this continues, what if something happens to her?"
"Let me go! I'll beat this unfilial daughter to death today!"
"No, my lord, you must not act impulsively. Calm down, you must calm down!"
Prime Minister Shen spoke very loudly, but he still couldn't suppress Mu Quan's burning anger.
In addition, Mu Quan was tall and burly, while Prime Minister Shen was just a scholar. In comparison, Prime Minister Shen's strength was much weaker than Mu Quan's.
After a few tugs of the fist, Prime Minister Shen was drenched in sweat and panting heavily.
Seeing that the commotion was almost over, Feng Ji suddenly spoke.
“My lord, there is no need to be so angry. The Third Miss is quick-witted and outspoken, which has broadened my horizons. We have already made things clear, and I believe the Third Miss will not have any other thoughts.”
Seeing that Feng Ji finally spoke, Lord Mu sighed helplessly.
"What a misfortune for my family! How could I, Mu Quan, have such a daughter?"
Lord Mu was heartbroken and shook his head repeatedly as he spoke.
Mu Yazhi was taken aback, her heart leaping into her throat.
What did my father mean by saying that? Did he not believe I was his daughter? Otherwise, why would he say such hurtful things in front of so many people?
"Father, what are you saying? If I'm not your daughter, whose daughter would I be? How could you say such a thing?"
Mu Yazhi stared wide-eyed at Mu Quan, her face full of astonishment.
Just moments before, Mu Quan's anger had subsided considerably, since the parties involved were no longer pursuing the matter, and Mu Quan believed that a few words would quell the situation.
