The atmosphere around them grew increasingly heavy.
The extremely ugly expression on Prince Wei's face clearly showed his anger at that moment.
Lu Wei and Mu Yazhi stood to the side, a cold smile unconsciously curving their lips, waiting to see a good show.
This Mu Chenshuang is truly arrogant. She humiliated Wei Xu in front of the old Prince Wei. Does she really think she's so great just because she's a princess? Even a marquis would have to give the old Prince Wei some face.
But they waited for a long time, and Prince Wei remained silent with a sullen face, not saying a word.
Seeing his father remain unmoved, Wei Xu grew anxious and called out, "Father."
He clearly looks like a useless person who cried after being scolded and went to his father to complain about his grievances.
Seeing this, Mu Yazhi stepped forward and confronted Mu Chenshuang, "Sister, you are underestimating Prince Wei. Is Prince Wei really as useless as you say? You don't understand him at all. You've only met him a few times. How do you know he doesn't care about the Prince Wei's mansion and Prince Wei? He is often worried and can't sleep at night thinking about these things. You know nothing, yet you are here reprimanding Prince Wei with such certainty."
"Just because you've distinguished yourself on the battlefield and received rewards from the emperor, you look down on the Wei Prince's Mansion. Have you forgotten the great contributions the Wei Prince's Mansion made to the Tianzhao Kingdom?"
Mu Yazhi's heartfelt words deeply moved Wei Xu; indeed, Yazhi was the one who truly understood him.
"So all Wei Shizi can do is impress himself without taking any real action?" Mu Chenshuang scoffed disdainfully.
"You..." Wei Xu's slightly better mood was instantly shattered by Mu Chenshuang's cold water.
Mu Yazhi wanted to add fuel to the fire.
Prince Wei suddenly slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "Enough!"
Mu Yazhi was startled, but seeing his furious expression, she felt extremely smug. She said in a wronged tone, "Your Highness, actually, the Heir Apparent of Wei has always been thinking about the Wei Prince's Mansion."
Prince Wei stared intently at Mu Yazhi with a terrifying gaze, which made Mu Yazhi feel guilty and quickly lower her head.
Seeing this, Lu Wei stepped forward to comfort him, saying, "Your Highness, Shuang'er went too far today. Since the young master is alright, could you please let this matter go? I will come to apologize in person another day."
What sounded like magnanimous words actually hinted at Mu Chenshuang's "malice".
Prince Wei withdrew his gaze and looked at Mu Chenshuang. He saw her proud and unyielding aura from beginning to end, and her arrogant and domineering eyes could intimidate everyone, making her no less than a man.
At this moment, he didn't know how to get angry at her. Although her words were cruel, they were the truth. He was disappointed in his only son and often worried about what would happen to Wei Xu after his death, and how the former glory of the Wei Prince's Mansion would continue.
“Your Highness, I have said all I have to say. The matter of the Heir Apparent has nothing to do with my maid. Only the Court of Justice can investigate this matter and find out who dared to deliberately frame my maid while I was away from the mansion.”
Mu Chenshuang spoke calmly and forcefully, glancing coldly at the mother and daughter out of the corner of her eye.
Prince Wei closed his eyes and said, "Since the person is alright, let's leave it at that."
If this matter is reported to the authorities, not to mention the impact of Wei Shizi being drugged in the Marquis's residence on the family, the more significant consequence is that Wei Shizi, a man, spends all his time visiting women's residences and almost had a relationship with a maid. If this gets out, Wei Xu, who is already infamous and looked down upon, will only become a laughingstock.
Seeing that Prince Wei was letting it go so easily.
Wei Xu was not the only one who couldn't believe it; Lu Wei and Mu Yazhi were even more incredulous.
Previously, Wei Xu had a fight with the son of the Minister's family. Wei Xu was no match for the other and was beaten black and blue. In order to protect Wei Xu, Prince Wei did not hesitate to take the matter to the emperor, who then ordered the son of the Minister's family to be imprisoned for a few days.
Today, Mu Chenshuang humiliated Wei Xu so much, belittling him to the point of worthlessness. This was clearly a slap in the face to Prince Wei. Yet, Prince Wei let Mu Chenshuang off so easily, and even his anger gradually faded.
What exactly happened?
The mother and daughter instantly became extremely anxious.
Wei Xu was furious: "Father, you..."
"Aren't you ashamed enough?" Prince Wei interrupted him with a stern rebuke. Wei Xu stared at his father with wide eyes in disbelief.
Are we just going to let this go today?
