The legitimate daughter returns, and the princess goes crazy

Mu Wan was already one of the most famous beauties in the capital. She wore a light pink dress that made her skin look even whiter. She wore a pomegranate pearl hairpin on her head and two butterfly-decorated earrings on her ears. The butterfly's antennae could even flutter, like a blooming hibiscus.

"big sister!"

When Mu Wan saw her, she quickly ran up to her and took her hand, her face full of sincerity. If she hadn't experienced her previous life, she would have really thought that Mu Wan had a deep sisterly love for her.

Mu Yan subconsciously withdrew his hand with a cold expression.

Mu Wan was stunned for a moment, but soon recovered her composure: "Sister, I'm glad you're okay. When I heard about your accident, my legs almost went limp with fear. I immediately went to the ancestral temple and knelt for several hours to pray for the ancestors' blessing. Fortunately, you're okay. If you really were in trouble, I would rather be the one in trouble."

Those bright and beautiful eyes were now filled with tears, which made me feel even more pitiful. Everyone present couldn't help but sigh that the second young lady was really kind-hearted.

But Mu Yan had already sneered at her hypocritical behavior and didn't even want to look at her.

"Why, Third Sister, do you want something to happen to me?"

"How could that be? Of course I hope my sister is safe."

Mu Wan's heart tightened, and her eyes were filled with guilt.

"Don't be nervous, third sister. I was just joking with you." Mu Yan said lightly, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her lips.

Mu Wan instantly felt relieved, thinking that this idiot had noticed something.

"Wan'er is such a good child. I know you haven't eaten all day because you were worried about your elder sister. Yan'er is also tired from the long journey. Come on, let's prepare a family dinner to welcome the eldest lady."

When Liu Wenmei saw Mu Yan returning safely, her back teeth were almost broken. She cursed in her heart that group of losers for their incompetence and inability to even deal with a weak woman, but she still had to save her face.

"Aunt Liu is thoughtful."

Aunt?

Once this title was uttered, it was equivalent to slapping Liu Wenmei in the face in public. Aunt is a concubine. Concubines are of low status and are involved in business, so concubines cannot be considered real masters. However, Liu often regarded herself as a lady in public and had long forgotten her true identity.

Liu Wenmei's face was slightly stiff. Ever since Madam Mu passed away, she had been in charge of the entire household. The servants all respectfully called her Madam Liu. However, Mu Yan actually called her aunt in public, which made her lose face and she felt even more resentful towards Mu Yan.

“Why is my eldest sister wearing a veil at home?”

In order to relieve her mother's embarrassment, Mu Wan stepped forward and asked.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned their attention to Mu Yan's face.

"Yes, Yan girl, we haven't seen each other for such a long time. We are all family. Why are you still wearing a veil? Do you treat us as outsiders?"

The person who spoke was Sun Moyu, the aunt from the second house. She had a hot temper and loved to stir up trouble all the time.

"Yes, Yan'er, take off your veil quickly and let your father take a good look at you."

Mu Jun hadn't seen his daughter for two years, so naturally he wanted to see if her appearance had changed.

Mu Yan pretended to be embarrassed as she took off her veil bit by bit. The hideous wound on her face made everyone gasp. Suddenly, the hall, which was filled with clinking glasses, became so quiet that one could see a pin drop.

There were expressions of concern, fear, and ridicule. Mu Yan took in all of their expressions.

"Oh, how come Yan's face is so injured? Hurry, go get a doctor."

Sun Moyu's shout broke the silence.

When Mu Jun saw the wound on Mu Yan's face, he felt extremely distressed: "Yan'er, was your face injured by those bandits?"

Mu Yan nodded, her almond-shaped eyes filled with mist, which made Mu Jun feel extremely distressed. This was what she wanted from him.

"These bandits are so inhumane. How could they be so cruel to the young lady?"

Liu Wenmei's eyes suddenly lit up, and she adjusted the butterfly hairpin on her head, trying her best to suppress the excitement in her heart.

His daughter's talent and appearance are top-notch in the entire capital, but it's a pity that she is a concubine's daughter. If something happens to Mu Yan, Mu Jun will definitely pay more attention to Mu Wan, and her status will naturally be different.

Compared to Liu Wenmei, Mu Wan's acting skills are much better than hers.

Although Mu Wan was ecstatic inside, she still looked extremely distressed. She covered her mouth with her hands, looking as if she couldn't believe the fact, and tears kept falling down. Even Mu Yan admired her acting skills.

"Big sister, how could this happen? These thieves are too cruel. Daddy, you must not let them go."

"Girl Yan is injured so badly that she will probably be disfigured in the future. Brother, you must not let these people go, otherwise they will think that our Mu family is easy to bully." Second uncle Mu Hong, who had been silent all this time, also spoke.

"Don't worry, Yan'er. Your father will definitely help you. I will immediately report to the court and send troops to encircle and suppress these bandits."

He had heard a long time ago that there was a group of bandits robbing near the capital, but the bandits' stronghold had complex terrain and was easy to defend but difficult to attack. They would also provide relief to some poor people on weekdays, so the government turned a blind eye to them. But now they were openly robbing the children of officials and injuring his daughter like this. How could he just sit back and watch?

Mu Yan grabbed him.

"Dad, if it was my daughter's bad luck that caused me to encounter those bandits, then I won't blame anyone. But if someone deliberately arranged it, I absolutely cannot accept it. I hope you can give me justice."

"Why did Yan'er say that? Is there something else going on?"

Mu Jun frowned. He believed his daughter and would not say such things for no reason.

"Ling Yu, bring the person in."

Ling Yu brought in the bandits that were tied up today.

When Nanny Feng, who was beside Liu Wenmei, saw this man, she was terrified and her palms were immediately covered with cold sweat. She recognized this man. He was one of the bandits she saw that day.

Mu Yan could see her expression clearly, and a hint of sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Father, Ling Yu is the maid that my grandfather arranged for me. She is very good at martial arts. Fortunately, she is here today so that my daughter can come back alive. We captured a bandit alive and learned from him that my daughter's current situation was not due to bad luck, but was deliberately arranged by someone."

She is still young and inexperienced, so she temporarily conceals the fact that she knows martial arts and takes all the credit on Ling Yu.

The bandits kneeling below had never seen such a scene before, and they immediately recounted the whole story in detail, not daring to omit a single word.

"This is simply outrageous. Who on earth has such a deep hatred for our Mu family to be so cruel?" Mu Jun slammed the table and stood up instantly.

Mu Yan turned around and looked at the bandit and asked, "Take a good look to see if the person you traded with that day is in this hall."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Liu Wenmei's pupils shrank sharply, and her heart suddenly jumped: "Miss, what do you mean by this? Are you saying that it was us who did this to you?"
