The daughter of the prime minister died tragically and was reborn to kill people everywhere

Mu Jinnian had already thought of an excuse for this.

"Tomorrow is the anniversary of my late wife's death. I am here to pay my respects to her. I have already asked for leave from Your Majesty."

The prince looked at him for a long time without saying anything. He knew that Mu Jinnian was pointing at him.

Now, regardless of whether he is the crown prince or the king, he, as the left prime minister, does not have to report everything to the crown prince.

If it were another prince, perhaps after understanding Mu Jinnian's words, he would give him some face and stop getting involved in these matters.

But Baili Jing is different. He knows better than anyone what he, the prince, represents.

Not to mention that he has a poisonous body since birth. Now he looks no different from an ordinary person, but if the poison really breaks out, he may not be able to survive his father.

Therefore, he never thought about inheriting the throne from the beginning, and after sitting on that seat, he naturally did not need to win over ministers.

He didn't care about Mu Jinnian's suggestive words, which instead aroused his rebellious psychology.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he felt as if he was going to rip open the top of his head.

"The left prime minister's family is very strange. Since it is the anniversary of the death, shouldn't they go to the grave to offer sacrifices?

Why are they all coming to the temple to pray? Could it be that the remains of the prime minister's wife were not buried in the Mu family's ancestral tomb?"

Mu Jinnian's temples throbbed at his question. Didn't everyone in the capital know that his wife was not buried in the Mu family's ancestral tomb?

Mu Jinnian knew that the prince was not easy to fool, so he just laughed it off.

"I am mainly worried about Yun Yao. I am afraid that she might cause trouble, so I came here to check on her."

Mu Jinnian had no choice but to bring the topic back to Mu Yunyao, trying to divert the blame.

"The Left Prime Minister was able to predict that Miss Mu would cause trouble in the palace? He is indeed very smart. No wonder he is valued by the emperor."

When the Third Prince heard the Crown Prince's repeated evasiveness, he could no longer bear it and spoke up to defend Mu Jinnian.

"Brother Crown Prince, Prime Minister Mu is Mu Yunyao's father. Since he said so, it means that Mu Yunyao has always been of bad character. In my opinion, Mingzhu is right. Was all this planned by her?"

"Oh? So the Third Prince is saying that you don't believe the results of my investigation?"

"It's normal for Governor Xiao to make mistakes occasionally."

The third prince was obviously more willing to believe Mu Jinnian's one-sided statement.

Xiao Qianmo didn't argue with him, but nodded in agreement.

He was playing with a triangular nail in his hand and said with a playful look in his eyes.

"That's right. After all, what I have said is solid evidence, but it's not as brilliant as Prime Minister Mu's."

Everyone present was smart, and when he said this, someone immediately thought of what had happened just now when Mu Jinnian rushed in and was about to hit Mu Yunyao.

If he had no prior knowledge of the incident and just happened to go up the mountain, why did he conclude that it was Mu Yunyao's fault without asking any questions and even wanted to hit her?

This is not favoritism towards Mu Yunyao, it is clearly favoritism towards Mu Mingzhu.

Moreover, he was so cruel that he convicted Mu Yunyao without any investigation or knowledge of the whole matter. He put the blame on her without any evidence. With such a father, Miss Mu was really unlucky.

Seeing that everyone's eyes on Mu Jinnian had changed, Xiao Qianmo immediately delivered another piece of bombshell news.

"I have also found some very interesting news here."

Since Governor Xiao said it was interesting, it must be very interesting. The prince's curiosity was immediately piqued.

"What news? It's interesting to hear that from Governor Xiao. I'm also very curious."

Seeing that the prince was so supportive, Xiao Qianmo did not refuse him and cooperated very well.

"Before she entered the prime minister's residence as a second wife, the second wife of the Mu family was once the concubine of the second branch of the Shen family.

Sixteen years ago, when Madam Shen was pregnant with Miss Mu, the second wife was driven out of the Shen family. According to reliable sources, it was because she got pregnant before marriage.

After finding out, Master Shen II asked her to tell him who the man was and to abort the child. Madam Mu II refused to tell him, and Master Shen II was so angry that he kicked her out of the house overnight.

Later, the second wife was taken away by a mysterious person and sent to Jingxin Temple to take care of her pregnancy. Nine months later, she gave birth to a baby girl.

The room was filled with silence when Governor Xiao finished speaking, and one could almost hear a pin drop.

Everyone's eyes were filled with weirdness.

If they remembered correctly, sixteen years ago, Mu Jinnian was sent to serve as an official in a remote area, and the place where he was sent was exactly where his wife's family was located.

At the beginning, Madam Shen and Prime Minister Mu lived directly in the Shen family.

Among them...

No one dared to think about it.

If Mu Jinnian really took advantage of the time he was staying at his father-in-law's house to have sex with his first wife's half-cousin...

The prince couldn't help but gasp.

The melon seemed a little too big and it was a bit overwhelming for him.

Mu Jinnian didn't expect that Xiao Qianmo could find out about this matter, even though his father-in-law had never suspected him.

"Master Xiao, please stop talking nonsense. My wife went to Jingxin Temple to pray for my cousin, not for what you said."

The reason why Mu Jinnian dared to say this was because he knew that the Shen family would not dare to disclose this matter even for the sake of their unmarried daughter.

As long as the people of the Shen family kept their mouths shut, he would have dealt with those who knew the inside story at Jingxin Temple long ago, and no one would be able to testify.

"And the reason why I married her as my second wife was not my wife's intention. She and the second wife have a deep sisterly relationship, and I believe she can take good care of our child."

Mu Jinnian's explanation was pale and powerless. After all, if this was really the reason, the Shen family should have been very supportive of this marriage, and would not have cut off ties with the Mu family after Shen Qianjiao entered the family.

Old Lady Rong sneered even more rudely.

"I watched Nianci grow up under my care. She has always been dignified and polite. When did she develop a sisterly relationship with a concubine's daughter who was born of a lower class?"

The Great Qi Dynasty still attached great importance to the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children. In some families with strict rules, illegitimate children were no different from slaves. There were also some children whose mothers were of low birth who were born to serve their legitimate sisters.

What's more, Shen Qianjiao is not the illegitimate daughter of Shen Nianzhi's father. If it weren't for the holidays or family gatherings, it would be difficult for them to even see each other. In this case, how can they talk about deep sisterly love?

Princess Miaoshan was the type of person who only cared about food and not about beatings, so she jumped out immediately.

"Could this Mu Mingzhu be the daughter of the Second Madam? She is older than me and looks somewhat similar to the Second Madam Mu?"

After hearing her say this, Mr. Zhuang also looked at Mu Mingzhu's face carefully.

Not to mention that she really looks 40% like Shen Qianjiao.

I heard people say before that she was more like the late First Lady, and the Second Lady and the First Lady were sisters, so it was normal that the two looked somewhat alike.

But now it seems that this is not the case. After all, the eldest daughter of the Mu family and the doctor's biological daughter does not resemble Mu Mingzhu at all.

If this Miss Mu doesn't resemble her biological mother at all, how can the Mu family be sure of her identity?

When Mu Mingzhu heard what Princess Miaoshan said, her face turned pale and she angrily scolded, "What are you talking about? The Second Madam is my aunt, so what if I look a bit like her? What makes you infer that I was born to the Second Madam?"

In the past, she called Shen Qianjiao "mother" affectionately, but now she didn't dare to call her mother at all.
