The legitimate daughter returns, and the princess goes crazy

"It was her, the Mu family's aunt surnamed Qin, who ordered me to do it. I just took her money to do the work. I don't know anything else."

At that time, he met two people, one was Liu and the other was Qin. But now, he could not give anyone up and was afraid that he would not be able to leave this door. His son was in Liu Wenmei's hands, so he could only kill one of them so that his son could live.

Yes, he had a son. A few years ago, when he was practicing outside the temple, he accidentally fell off a cliff and was rescued by a farmer. The farmer had a daughter. He recuperated in the farmer's home for several months, and they developed a deep friendship, which also resulted in bad consequences.

When the mother and son went to the capital to look for him, they were spotted by Liu Wenmei and were threatened by her, which led to today's drama.

Qingxiu also got the signal from Liu Wenmei's eyes at this time, and knelt on the ground with a plop, "Master, please understand, I was forced by Qin Xiaoniang to slander the young lady."

"Mrs. Qin said that the eldest lady is Young Master Mu Zhao's biological sister. If something happens to the eldest lady, it will inevitably cause him to lose the favor of the master. Then, Young Master Muran will be able to inherit the Mu family and become the head of the Mu family."

She had already received Liu's instructions that if the matter was ever exposed, all the blame would be put on Qin Xiaoniang.

Qin Xiaoniang was stunned and her mind started to go blank. She didn't expect things to get out of control like this. She was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat and waved her hands quickly.

"Master, no, it's not me."

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Liu Wenmei.

"Qin, I didn't expect you to do such a thing. What will Master Ran think of you when he grows up and knows the truth?"

Liu Wenmei looked at Qin Xiaoniang, her eyes filled with disappointment, but a hint of warning flashed deep in her eyes.

Qin Xiaoniang immediately understood and slumped on the ground, "Yes, I hired someone to frame the young lady. I did everything. Please punish me, my lord."

Mu Yan did not miss the fear and panic that flashed across Qin Xiaoniang's eyes after Liu Wenmei said this. This look was definitely not a fear of the matter being exposed. Instead, it was a panic as if someone had a fatal handle on her.

What on earth could have made Qin Xiaoniang so frightened that she didn't even dare to argue and directly confessed her guilt? You have to know that Qin Xiaoniang didn't even have the documents to take a concubine and was just a lowly concubine. If she committed an offense against her superiors with this status, she would be executed according to the Mu family rules.

What on earth is more frightening to Qin Xiaoniang than death?

Before Mu Yan could think about it, she was startled by Mu Jun's scolding. He looked majestic and angry, and shouted angrily.

"Someone! Take this treacherous woman out and beat her to death with sticks."

"Master, Master, please spare my life. Please spare me just for the sake of the Third Young Master."

Qin Xiaoniang knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, and soon her forehead turned red.

"Hurry up and drag this bitch away." There was a hint of impatience in Liu's voice.

"Wait!"

A crisp rebuke stopped the servant's actions, and everyone looked at Mu Yan.

"Father, I'm sure Miss Qin was just confused for a moment, please spare her life."

Liu's face was filled with anxiety. "Miss, you can't do that. How can you let Miss Qin off when she made such a big mistake? Otherwise, the Mu family rules will be just for show. How will you discipline the servants in the future?"

Seeing Liu so panicked, Mu Yan became more certain of what he was thinking. Qin Xiaoniang must have some leverage in Liu Wenmei's hands, and Liu Wenmei had been using this matter to control Qin Xiaoniang and even took Qin Xiaoniang's son for herself.

Now Liu used this incident to get rid of Qin Xiaoniang, and then went to beg the old lady. Then Muran could be adopted under her name as a matter of course, and she would have found a scapegoat for herself, which was simply killing two birds with one stone.

But how could Mu Yan let Liu Wenmei's plan succeed?

"Father, Randi is still young and has a high fever. Dealing with Qin Xiaoniang now may be detrimental to his condition. My mother died early. When Yan'er was sick as a child, he was thinking, how nice it would be if my mother was still there?"

Mu Yan's almond-shaped eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red, with a trace of tears in the corners of her eyes, which made people feel pity.

Mu Jun was stunned for a moment. Ever since her mother passed away early, her daughter had always shown a strong temper in order to protect herself and her younger brother. He had never seen her weak side.

Seeing this now, Mu Jun's heart trembled slightly, and he felt even more guilty towards her.

"Okay, since Yan'er has spoken, I will spare her life, but I can spare her the death penalty, but I can't escape the punishment of living. Take this criminal woman out and give her thirty lashes."

"But my Lord..."

Liu Wenmei wanted to say something but was interrupted by Mu Jun, "No need to say more, don't interrupt Yan'er's decision."

Liu Wenmei was angry and embarrassed when she was criticized, but she did not dare to contradict Mu Jun. She knew how important Han Yunyan's children were in Mu Jun's mind.

Mu Yan sneered, "Madam Liu, don't worry about breaking the rules. Madam Qin let her off because she has a son. But Qingxiu is just a servant. She actually dared to help others betray her master. It's simply treasonous. Why not beat Qingxiu to death according to the family rules and let all the servants in the courtyard see what the fate of betraying their master is?"

Qingxiu was frightened so much that her face turned pale and she knelt on the ground, "Miss, please don't do it. Miss, please spare me. I won't dare to do it again. I won't dare to do it again."

Mu Yan has never been a kind person. She kept Qin Xiaoniang alive in order to find out the secret she was hiding, and Qingxiu must die. She wanted everyone to know what the consequences of betraying her would be.

Mu Jun looked at Mu Yan, his kind eyes filled with a hint of appreciation. He spared your life because this person had made contributions to the Mu family, but he took your life to uphold the dignity of the Mu family's family rules.

After receiving the instructions, the servants turned around, put Qin Xiaoniang down and dragged Qingxiu to the yard. After a while, bursts of miserable cries were heard from the yard. Gradually, the cries became weaker and weaker until there was no sound anymore.

"My Lord and Madam, Qingxiu has passed away."

Madam Mu turned the Buddhist beads in her hand, closed her eyes and said, "Although Qingxiu made a serious mistake, considering that she has been in the Mu family for many years, returning the body to her family and leaving some funeral expenses can be considered decent."

Old Madam Mu has been a vegetarian and chanted Buddhist scriptures for many years, and she still has a bit of compassion in her heart. Now that Qingxiu is dead, let the past be wiped out with her death.

"What is the taste?"

"Why did Master Xichen wet his pants?"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone looked at Xi Chen.

I saw him kneeling on the ground with his legs shaking uncontrollably. A yellow liquid wet his trouser legs, emitting a foul smell of urine.

puff-

Everyone burst into laughter, and a feeling of humiliation rushed to Xi Chen's head. His face instantly turned as red as pig liver, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

No one expected that Xi Chen, who usually looked like a Taoist immortal, would be in such an embarrassing state today. It was a disgrace to Buddhism.
