Mu Mingzhu certainly played the trick of "putting aside the facts" very clearly.

She looked like she hadn't said anything, but she actually said everything.

It was nothing more than that the parents favored Mu Yunyao, and even the servants followed the wind and sided with the eldest lady. Anyway, they just wanted to put the blame on Mu Yunyao.

Anyway, those testimonies were given by the servants, not her own admissions, so what can they count for?

Even if she asked her father to testify, she was not afraid because she knew her father would only side with her.

Mu Mingzhu was full of confidence. Moreover, everyone saw that Mu Yunyao bullied her and the servants around her did not take her seriously.

"How dare you do such a thing, you rebellious girl?"

At this moment, a figure rushed into the room quickly and raised his hand to slap Mu Yunyao in the face.

Mu Yunyao had guessed that Mu Jinnian had gone up the mountain when Mu Mingzhu said those words, so she was not at all surprised to see him appear at this time.

After all, Mu Mingzhu planned all this just to push herself to the Third Prince and get her into the Third Prince's mansion.

But she knew that doing this would make the Third Prince angry with her. What should she do if the Third Prince got angry and refused to agree to the marriage exchange?

Someone must help her make this happen. No matter how stupid Mu Mingzhu is, she would never pin her hopes on Old Lady Rong.

Firstly, she was just an outsider. It was okay for her to witness the physical intimacy between herself and the third prince, but she could not decide the marriage of the daughter of the Mu family.

The only one who can make the decision is the master of their Prime Minister's Mansion. Shen Qianjiao is only a successor and her status is not high enough, so besides Mu Jinnian, the only one who can go to the Prime Minister's Mansion for her is Mu Junsheng, her eldest brother.

Originally, Mu Junsheng was the most suitable person for this matter, but it was a pity that he was disabled.

Mu Yunyao raised the corners of her lips. Now that everyone was finally here, the show could begin.

But Mu Yunyao was not someone who would suffer a loss. Seeing that Mu Jinnian’s slap was about to fall on her face, no one could react in time.

Old Madam Rong widened her eyes and had no time to react.

Just when Mu Yunyao was about to teach him a lesson he would never forget, a figure moved faster than her.

He kicked the man more than two meters away with one kick, and with a "bang", he fell on the bluestone slab in the yard.

Xiao Qianmo looked coldly outside the yard and sneered.

"How dare you to assassinate the Crown Prince in front of him. Capture him now."

"Yes."

A sound as loud as a bell rang out, and the black-armored army moved upon hearing the order.

Mu Jinnian, a mere scholar, had never been treated like this before, but before he could say anything.

Someone pressed his head to the ground.

Although everyone had guessed his identity from what he had just said, no one dared to speak at this time.

The prince knew that Xiao Qianmo was deliberately using him as a target, but he was not angry.

Instead, he said very cooperatively, "This man is very bold. Lord Governor Xiao, please interrogate him carefully for me."

The implication was that he was indeed frightened, and this gave Xiao Qianmo an opportunity to take action.

He seemed to have heard that Xiao Qianmo had clashed with Mu Jinnian before, and even the eldest son of the Mu family was sent to the Ministry of Punishment by him.

If it weren't for that old bastard Prime Minister Mu, who shamelessly ran to the emperor and cried, I'm afraid Young Master Mu would still be in jail.

Originally, he was a little confused. Xiao Qianmo always had his own principles in doing things, and his principle was to obey his father's orders.

Normally, he would not meddle in other people's business unless his father gave him the order. So why did he take the initiative to provoke the Mu family this time?

Now he finally understood, he was afraid that his father might also have some intentions in this.

Mu Jinnian has become more and more confident in his successful career in recent years, and his two fathers have really put a lot of thought into his life.

Not only that, they dared to target them, but their father was still in his prime, so they started to think about taking sides.

Knowing that the Seventh Prince's mother wanted Mu Junsheng to be his study companion, he used this method to shirk his responsibility.

Do you really think that people from his royal family are easy to bully? Although his father also minds that important officials have too close contacts with princes, the Seventh Prince is still his son after all. He can forbid Mu Junsheng from being the Seventh Prince's study companion, but he will not allow them to bully him in this way.

Fortunately, the people from the Ministry of Punishment confirmed that Mu Junsheng's leg was really broken, otherwise...

The prince looked at Xiao Qianmo. He felt that this guy had a thousand ways to make him more completely useless.

Just when everyone was thinking about their own things, the third prince suddenly spoke.

"Brother Crown Prince, that seems to be Prime Minister Mu?"

The prince rolled his eyes secretly and thought, everyone here knows it, so it seems like you have a big mouth, right?

But the Third Prince had already said this, and the Crown Prince could no longer pretend to be ignorant.

"Really? Bring it up here and let me see."

The black-armored soldiers did not move, and the prince was not surprised. Instead, he turned his gaze to Xiao Qianmo.

Xiao Qianmo nodded, then gave instructions to his men.

"Bring him up here. The prince wants to question him."

Xiao Qianmo's kick was not light and hit Mu Jinnian right in the heart. If he was not afraid that he would really kick him to death and Mu Yunyao would have to observe mourning for him for three years, he would probably have gone to see the King of Hell by now.

Although they had shown mercy, Mu Jinnian still couldn't catch his breath. He was dragged into the house like a dead dog by several black-armored soldiers and then thrown to the ground.

They didn't care whether this man was the Left Prime Minister or not. They always listened to the orders of only two people, one was their governor and the other was the emperor.

When Mu Jinnian was thrown to the ground, his head was facing downwards and he hit the ground hard. When he raised his head, his face and nose were bruised and swollen.

"This old minister greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

Although Mu Jinnian was angry, he did not forget the rules and greeted the two princes first.

The prince raised his hand and signaled the people around him to help the man up.

Then he looked at it carefully for a long time before he spoke slowly.

"So it really is the Left Prime Minister. I thought he was an assassin."

The prince's words stopped Mu Jinnian from complaining.

He could only admit his defeat and bow his head to apologize, "It was my fault that I disturbed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Upon hearing this, the prince looked at his unrecognizable face again, pulled the corners of his lips, and said generously.

"That's fine, but you'd better be more careful next time. It's okay if you bumped into me today, but if you bump into me in front of the emperor someday, I'm afraid that Governor Xiao won't be able to hold back."

What he meant was that Xiao Qianmo didn't kill him outright just now and was showing mercy.

Mu Jinnian swallowed his saliva when he thought of Xiao Qianmo's cruelty.

He knew that what the prince said was true and that the nunnery man was really capable of doing it.

I don't know how I have offended him, and he has been targeting me lately.

The more Mu Jinnian thought about it, the more scared he became, and he began to blame Mu Mingzhu.

She can't even handle such a small matter, and now I have to clean up the mess for her. I'm really useless.

But it was not appropriate to say this in front of everyone, so he could only bow to the prince in agreement.

"Yes, thank you for your advice, Your Highness."

He had to thank someone after being beaten. There was probably no one in the world more aggrieved than Mu Jinnian.

The prince waved his hand, "It's okay, but why did Prime Minister Mu go up the mountain at night? Doesn't he need to participate in politics tomorrow?"
