The legitimate daughter returns, and the princess goes crazy

As early as when Mu Wan's face was scratched, Mu Yan asked Ling Yu to get something, but she didn't expect Ling Yu to be so efficient.

As expected, he has been with me for a long time, and even his martial arts skills have improved a lot.

Mu Yan handed an exquisite small porcelain bottle to Mo Xingchen.

"Your Highness, Prince Wei, please give this to my third sister."

Before Mo Xingchen could ask, Mu Yan said, "This is a good medicine for treating external injuries. It will be good for the wound on her face. Although she did something wrong, we are sisters after all. I can't bear to see her suffer. But she has a deep misunderstanding of me now. If I say it's from me, I'm afraid she won't accept it. Please keep it a secret for me, Your Highness."

This "ointment" was the one that Mu Wan gave her that year, but she asked Ling Yu to change the bottle.

Now she is using someone else's talent to pay tribute to Buddha, letting Mu Wan reap what she has sown and experience the pain of her wounds festering again and again.

Mo Xingchen was quite moved when he heard this, and clasped his fists and said, "Princess Pingting is such a kind person. She is so tolerant towards her concubine sister. I really admire her."

"..."

Mo Yuche, who was standing by, pinched his brows and sneered when he heard the words. If she was a kind person, there would be no cunning little foxes in the world.

Mu Yan saw his reaction and glared at him fiercely.

Fortunately, Mo Xingchen didn't notice anything from the eye contact between the two.

Today was a busy day and it was getting dark. Mu Zhao was released and Mu Yan said goodbye to the two princes.

Mo Yuche offered to send the two siblings away for the first time, but was rejected by Mu Yan without a doubt.

He curled the corner of his mouth, what a vindictive little fox.

When Mo Xingchen saw that even Mo Yuche was frustrated, he immediately felt better and thought that he was not the only one who was embarrassing himself in front of Mu Yan.

……

On the way back, Mu Yan told Mu Zhao everything that happened today.

Originally, she didn't want Mu Zhao to be involved in these conspiracies at such a young age, but what happened today made her feel that she was wrong. If he could have discovered Mu Wan's thoughts earlier today, he would not have been framed so easily.

Harmfulness is not allowed, and defensiveness is indispensable.

"Sister, I understand. I must be more careful in everything I do in the future." Mu Zhao took Mu Yan's arm and leaned his chubby face on Mu Yan's shoulder.

It was then that Mu Yan realized with surprise that Mu Zhao was taller than her.

He will always have to grow up and will not live under his protection forever.

As the sun sets, only a ray of light remains, and the silhouettes of the brother and sister are stretched very long by the remaining light and shadow.

……

It was the time of early morning dew, and the air was filled with the sweetness of grass.

Mu Yan pushed open the exquisitely carved window, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and exhaled all the foul air of the whole night.

"Hey, Yan girl, are you awake yet?"

Mu Yan couldn't help but frown when she heard the voice.

The person didn't arrive, but the voice came first. It was either her second aunt or someone else.

Sun Moyu was wearing a dark purple gown with gold thread patterns on the cuffs and an exquisite gold hairpin on her head. She looked very wealthy. It seemed that she had been living a very comfortable life since Liu fell from power.

Before Mu Yan could speak, Sun came in on her own initiative, with a flattering look on her face, "Oh, Yan'er, you haven't gotten up yet. If I had known, Second Aunt would have come a little later."

Mu Yan raised her eyes and said with a half-smile, "Second Aunt came so early, there must be something going on."

Then he went back to the table, poured a cup of tea and motioned for her to sit down and talk.

"Or I'll just say that Yan'er, you are the smartest. I don't need to be too direct when talking to you."

Then she paused for a moment, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Ever since Liu was put in solitary confinement, the old lady has been chanting Buddha's name all day, and no one has taken care of the big and small matters in the mansion. I have no choice but to help take care of it, but many things require the seal and key of the housekeeper to do. I am always not in the right position, and I am always hindered in doing things."

Mu Yan understood what Sun Moyu said. The old lady had been unwilling to hand over the power of housekeeper to someone else. She must be still pinning her hopes on Liu, thinking that she would be able to come out one day.

"Second Aunt, do you want me to go find my father and ask him to ask my grandmother for the right to manage the household?"

Sun smiled awkwardly. She didn't expect Mu Yan to be so straightforward. "Yes, your father has always loved you the most. As long as you ask, half of the matter will be done."

Sun Moyu had no other choice. Every time she went to ask the old lady for the power of housekeeper, she would make excuses and change the subject to other places. Otherwise, she would not be able to bring herself to ask a junior for help.

Now the people below laugh at her for only doing work but not having real power, which makes her face turn green with anger. After she gets the power of housekeeper, she will definitely teach those servants who gossip about her behind her back a lesson.

Mu Yan played with the teacup in her hand, curled her lips and said, "But even if father asked for it, the old lady would not give it willingly."

Then she thought for a moment, stretched out her hand to signal Sun Moyu to lean his head over, and then whispered a few words.

Sun Moyu's face suddenly became overjoyed, and a strong murderous intent appeared in his eyes. "You are right. Only by finding a way to make Liu Wenmei disappear completely, will the old lady give up the thought in her heart."

At present, Liu Wenmei's biggest support is Mu Wan. Although Mu Wan is now imprisoned, as long as she is not sentenced, there is still a chance for her to turn things around. Besides, there is also Concubine Yi. Only by killing Mu Wan first can the Liu family be eliminated.

Thinking of this, Sun Moyu's body couldn't help but tremble.

There was actually a hint of fear in the look she gave Mu Yan at this moment. How come she hadn't realized before that her niece was so vicious? She secretly swore in her heart that she would never go against her so easily in the future.

The wind in the capital city blew swiftly, and within a day the whole city became bustling.

Shi Ying ran in excitedly from outside, "Miss, there are rumors outside that the third young lady impersonated and rescued Concubine Yi from falling into the water. Concubine Yi was furious and demanded that the emperor remove her from the position of county lady."

But Mu Yan didn't look surprised at all, as if she had known about it for a long time.

Sun Moyu's sister-in-law ran a study in the capital and reprinted several novels overnight. The novel was about a noble lady who fell into the water and was rescued, and then a passing young lady from an official family impersonated her and said she was the one who saved her.

Although it is not stated directly in the book, any discerning person can guess that it is referring to Mu Wan.

Moreover, Mu Wan said in public that day that she couldn't swim. Princess Qi Ning already hated her to the core. After seeing this novel, she spread the word that the person in the book was referring to Mu Wan, and then added fuel to the fire, making the matter even more serious.

Mu Yan raised her eyes and asked, "Has father returned home?"

After hearing the negative answer, her eyes revealed a hint of understanding.

Sure enough, everything went according to plan.
