In danger, he traveled through time to save her, and the black-bellied prince doted on her

Mu Jinan raised a smile and said:

"My father returned to the Mu family and married my mother. My mother was a princess, so he could not take a concubine. After my mother passed away, he wanted to take Rong Niang as a concubine, but Rong Niang died. My father was deeply saddened, so he married Xiao later."

"Dad doesn't like Wurong, but the face that looks more and more like her aunt Rongniang."

"It was the same tea-making technique. A few months ago, Li Heng came to the mansion and Wurong served tea. Dad took only one sip and his expression changed. There was shock and joy in his eyes."

Mu Jinan closed the book, stood up, and said with emotion:

“The one that people love most is the one they cannot have.”

"Even after ten thousand years, Bai Yueguang's beauty trap will still be the most effective."

Meiluo whispered: "My lady, since Xiao Shi killed Rong Niang, why did they let Wurong stay in the mansion?"

Mu Jinan shook his head and said, "The attitude of a winner is that he gets carried away and forgets to be cautious from beginning to end. Then he will not fail, but will be defeated by the little person she despises."

"It's easy to play with your cards, but hard to defend against a hidden attack. She was too careless."

Meiluo said, "Madam, with the old lady here, Xiao may escape."

Mu Jinan knew that the aristocratic families supported each other, and Xiao Wan was not completely useless. There were many connections behind her, otherwise he would have divorced her on the first day Mu Chen returned home.

He seemed to be protecting Mu Jinan, but in fact he was just waiting for the right opportunity. Mu Chen was even more optimistic about the marriage with the Lu family. He had met Lu Yanci, who was upright, hardworking and studious, and had a bright future.

How could Mu Jinan tolerate the person who killed her to escape like this? He kept her in the backyard because he didn't want her to die quickly, and he didn't want to let the tiger go back to the mountain.

What she wanted was for Xiao Wan's reputation to be ruined, for her to become a stain on Mu Yun, and for her life to be taken.

There was a hint of evil in her eyes, and she said:

"To cut the grass at its roots, I will send her on her final journey"

He looked outside the house again and said with a smile, "Light the lamp."

Inside the Qingyue Hall, Wurong looked at the elephant-headed Vajra incense burner in front of her and poured boiling hot tea into it.

Fu Yu's fragrance soon dissipated, and her fox eyes were no longer as charming as before, but had a hint of determination in them.

I thought to myself: "Aunt, that vicious woman will die soon."

There was a Kongming lantern floating in the sky above the Mu Mansion, and the woman looked up.

She walked straight to the door of General Huaihua's mansion and knocked on it: "Open the door, I am the fifth lady of the Mu Mansion, the daughter of General Mu."

The guard heard someone outside the door and shouted from inside, "Who is it at this late hour?"

The woman said loudly: "I am General Mu's daughter, Mu Shiyi. I have a token in my hand. Please open the door, sir."

The guard asked a symbolic question: "Wait for me to report to the general."

Inside Mu Ning's room, candlelight was bright. The two men were kneeling on the ground. Mu Chen was pacing back and forth with anger on his face.

He heard those words outside the backyard and knew that Xiao Wan might have been having an affair with Zhang Si a long time ago. He asked angrily:

"Whore, were you two having an affair before I married you?"

Zhang Si shook his head and said quickly: "General, Wan'er married you innocently. It's all my fault."

Old Madam Zheng came hurriedly. She had already gone to bed and didn't know who made the noise on the roof. She said there was an accident in the backyard.

Mu Chen looked at Madam Zheng and asked in surprise, "Mother, why are you here?"

Madam Zheng looked at the two people in front of her, her hair was loose, and she understood the reason. She hit them with the cane in her hand:

"You are such a slut, you are so stupid. How can you still live in this world with dignity after doing such dirty and filthy things?"

Xiao Wan seemed to have seen a life-saving straw. She grabbed Madam Zheng's clothes and cried loudly, "Madam, please save your daughter-in-law. I will never dare to..."

Mu Chen was so angry that he couldn't stand up straight, and pointed at her: "Shut up!"

Madam Zheng shook her head, her expression changed, and said:

"Chen'er, spare her life and send her to a manor outside the city."

Mu Chen supported Madam Zheng. He knew that he was not as favored by his mother as his second brother, but in such a big matter, she did not even defend him at all.

Mu Chen suppressed his anger and said: "Mother, she made her son lose face, how can I let her off easily?"

Madam Zheng pondered for a moment and advised: "Right now, Lu intends to marry Yun. If something happens to her mother and the news spreads outside the mansion, which noble in Chang'an City will tolerate her?"

"Marrying into the Lu family is the most important thing right now."

The noise in the mansion was getting louder and louder. Lights were on in every room, and people were hurrying around. Second uncle Mu Xiang and several younger generations thought there were thieves in the house, so they came to Mu Ningzhai one after another.

Mu Yun had already gone to bed, but her maid Qiuyu hurriedly told her that Xiao Wan was in trouble, so she rushed to Mu Ningzhai anxiously.

Mu Yun ran into the house and saw Xiao Wan kneeling on the ground with a red and swollen neck. She said in horror: "Mother, mother, what happened to you? Why is there a scar on your neck?"

Xiao Wan looked at Mu Yun. She stroked her daughter's face, tears streaming down her face. She was afraid that she would not see Mu Yun again in the future, so she asked worriedly:

"Yun'er, what do you think of your cousin Lu? Listen to your mother and marry him."

Mu Yun looked embarrassed. She didn't like Lu Yanci at all and wanted to marry Prince Rui Li Heng wholeheartedly.

Seeing that she was still stubborn, Xiao Wan continued as if to explain her last wishes:

"Don't marry King Rui. The royal family is dangerous. King Rui's mind is hard to guess. He is not a good match. All my dowry is left to you. Don't be greedy for that little bit of wealth. Aristocratic family is the long-term plan."

Mu Yun hugged Xiao Wan and cried, "Mother, don't say this for now. You have done something wrong. Apologize to Father!"

At this time, the gatekeeper came into the house and saluted, saying, "General, there is someone outside the mansion claiming to be your daughter, Lady Wu, and she said she has a token and wants to see you."

Xiao Wan suddenly became nervous, trembling with fear and her eyes flickering.

Mu Chen turned around, lowered his eyes, and asked in shock: "Fifth Lady?"

Second uncle Mu Xiang said from the side: "Is it the fifth girl who has passed away?"

Mu Chen looked at Xiao Wan and saw that she was panicking and asked, "Isn't she dead?"

Mu Qingyin's eyes were blurry, but she also wanted to join in the fun, so she said loudly: "Uncle, why not let her come in to question her?"

Mu Chen nodded and said quickly: "Bring him in quickly." The guard left the house and ran towards the gate.

Mu Chen looked at Xiao Wan and walked closer to her. He couldn't believe all this. The dead could come back again. He vaguely felt that this matter was related to Xiao Wan, just like the assassination of Mu Jinan.

He asked Xiao Wan: "You wrote to tell me that the Fifth Lady died of illness."

Xiao Wan stepped back in fear, not daring to look Mu Chen in the eye. She lowered her head and said, "General, she is a liar. The Fifth Lady has indeed passed away a long time ago. General, please believe me."

Mu Jinan stood at the back of the house, listening to all this.

Mu Yun was kneeling beside Xiao Wan in the house. She was in a hurry and didn't notice it. Suddenly, she saw a strange man and asked in surprise, "Why is there a stranger in the house? Who are you?"

Zhang Si looked up at Mu Yun, not daring to say a word, then lowered his head and slumped.

Xiao Wan also lowered her head in shame, stammering and unable to say anything. Mu Yun looked at them with their hair loose, kneeling here again.

She was somewhat suspicious and unbelievable. Could it be that... She looked at Xiao Wan and asked, "Mother, who is this?"

"Mother, please speak."

Madam Zheng didn't want the younger generation to hear this, so she asked Nanny Chu to help Mu Yun up and said quickly, "Brothers and sisters, go back to your room first."
