Originally, some court officials suggested that Mu Yunyao should not leave the capital at this time, and that she should be recalled to observe mourning and another envoy should be sent to the Queen's Kingdom. However, all suggestions were suppressed by the emperor.

Since Mu Yunyao already knew that Mu Jinnian was going to kill his mother and had made it clear that she was powerless to change the situation, and she deliberately chose to leave early at this time, the emperor already knew what she was thinking.

How could he listen to the opinions of those ministers?

Not only did the emperor not order anyone to bring Mu Yunyao back, he also gave Old Lady Mu the title of "Anren".

Old Lady Mu had been begging for an imperial decree all her life, but she never expected that it would come true after her death.

When Mu Yunyao heard the news, she thought that the emperor was really good at hurting people's hearts.

However, this is none of her business. She has already left the capital and will not look back.

Mu Jinnian originally planned to have Mu Yunyao come back.

She already knew his secret and couldn't do anything in the capital, so he decided to send her off quietly after leaving the capital.

To this end, he emptied out all of Old Lady Mu's private savings, even the banknotes she hid in the spittoon.

In order to be absolutely sure, he spent a huge amount of money this time and hired the best killer organization in the world.

Ask their landlord to take action personally.

He had heard that the master of Qianxue Tower had never failed in any mission he had taken on.

But he never expected that his grandmother would also pass away. He submitted several memorials, but the emperor showed no intention of recalling Mu Yunyao.

He had no choice but to use his trump card, but in the end he failed to bring Mu Yunyao back.

Instead, the nails he had planted before were pulled out one by one.

Mu Jinnian felt like vomiting, but there was nothing he could do.

We can only place our hopes on Qianxue Tower.

After the funeral of Old Lady Mu, the coffin was kept in the Prime Minister's Residence in the capital for seven days before being carried back to the hometown and leaving the capital.

He had already figured out a way to escape and leave Da Qi after dying.

He originally thought that with his status, there would be many people coming to pay their respects and perform ceremonies.

This way, he could still make some money in the end.

As a result, the prime minister's residence was deserted. Not only did those who used to be in the same camp with him not show up, even those who were related to his family did not come.

Before the person left, Mu Jinnian experienced firsthand what it meant to be forgotten by the person after he left.

He was so angry that he had a tantrum at home, but there was nothing he could do. It was the last day of the old lady's funeral.

Someone from the Shen family came, but the person who came was not the master of the Shen family, but a manager.

He came here to take over the house on the orders of the head of the Shen family.

This prime minister's residence in the capital was not given by the emperor, but belonged to the Shen family.

In order to take his self-esteem into consideration, the house was given to him through the emperor.

In fact, the title deed to this house has always been in the hands of the Shen family.

At first they didn't want to take it back, but that was because they thought Mu Junsheng was their grandson.

Even though she was disgusted by what he had done, she would not let him become homeless for the sake of her daughter.

Later, after knowing that he was not their daughter's child at all, Mu Yunyao came back. She was the daughter of the Mu family, so she had to get married here.

The people in the Shen family also knew that even if they didn't come to take over the house, he would not be able to sell it without the title deed, but they just wanted to disgust him.

Mu Jinnian looked at the land deed in the servant's hand, and his eyes instantly became bloodshot.

"This is impossible. This is the Prime Minister's residence bestowed by His Majesty. How could it be the Shen family's residence?"

The Shen family's steward looked at his face full of disbelief and said.

"Prime Minister, you may have forgotten that when you moved into this house, you were not yet the Prime Minister. That person was just a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Works.

You have been the left prime minister for so many years, have you ever seen His Majesty grant such a large house to a fifth-rank official?"

Although it is such a big deal, even granting houses to officials is a very rare thing.

It was impossible for him to be a first-rank official, let alone the fact that he was only a fifth-rank official at that time.

"That's because I have done a great job in flood control."

As soon as he said this, the man laughed even more happily.

"My Lord, don't you know clearly whether it is you who has made the contribution to flood control or my young lady?

The relief money and food were provided by my Shen family, and the flood prevention and disaster relief measures were proposed by my young lady. Can you tell me what you have done?

The steward could be said to have trampled on Mu Jinnian's face.

Mu Jinnian was extremely grateful at this moment that no one came to pay his respects, otherwise, if someone heard these words, how would he save face?

He felt that this person was deliberately trying to disgust him, but there was nothing he could do.

He was about to leave here, and nothing could go wrong at this critical moment.

The people in the Shen family were also puzzled as to why the old man would do such a thing in the end. He shouldn't be so childish.

The old man is certainly not naive, he does this for a purpose.

But this was what Mu Yunyao told him before she left. He would not feel at ease if someone like Mu Jinnian just left the capital.

He will definitely make a way out for himself.

She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to find him when the time came, so naturally she had to leave something on him.

The old man took out the letter Mu Yunyao gave him, and the people of the Shen family were suddenly enlightened.

Shen Yu immediately said, "Grandfather, leave this to me. When he returns home with his coffin tomorrow, I will follow him secretly."

Mr. Shen shook his head.

"No need, His Majesty's men might take action, and it would be bad if you were discovered.

Yaoyao did this just to be on the safe side."

If he escapes, we can always find him again, right?

Shen Yu, who was eager to try, could only give up after hearing this.

But I was thinking in my heart, my cousin is really something. Since she has calculated everything, why didn’t she bring her own people with her this time?

He was no longer her dear cousin.

Not long after being depressed, Shen Yu was captured by his father.

"Since you are so free, go check out the shops and prepare the dowry for your cousin."

Before, because the wedding date was too tight, they hadn’t been able to prepare much.

This time, the old woman passed away, and according to the rules, the grandchildren could not get married for at least one year.

Then they will have at least one year to prepare the dowry. This time they must prepare a grand wedding for her.

The dowry would definitely not be less than her mother's. After all, her mother's dowry was prepared since she was born.

Mu Yunyao didn't know what happened in the capital. She brought gifts prepared by the Ministry of Rites and rushed to the Queen's Kingdom with three thousand female soldiers.

The Queendom borders both Da Qi and Nanzhao. She will first go to the southwest to see her elder brother and then go to the Queendom.

I don’t know if my brother will get used to it over there.

Mu Yunyao was just thinking about this when a big hand stretched out in front of her, holding a freshly peeled orange.

Mu Yunyao lowered her head and bit it, and the sweet juice filled her entire mouth.
