"That's right. When I went to visit the eldest master that day, I found that there was no one serving in his courtyard. I was worried that something might have happened, so I took the maid in to check.

I found that it was exactly as Governor Xiao said, the Second Madam and the eldest son were indeed very close, just like a real mother and son."

"You, you... a rebellious girl."

"Why are you so excited, Lord? Didn't you ask me to say that?"

Mu Yunyao looked innocent.

"Besides, I wasn't the only one who saw this. Didn't Lord Zhou, the Jingzhao Yin, and many of your colleagues, the Zuo Xiang, also see it?"

Now even the Third Prince was no longer upset about the possibility that Mu Mingzhu was a concubine's daughter. He stared at Mu Yunyao closely with a gossipy gleam in his eyes.

Mu Jinnian was speechless. After all, this matter had already spread in the court.

I also felt a little more resentful towards Shen Qianjiao and Mu Junsheng.

Can't they just avoid these people? Why do they have to make it known to everyone and make him lose face?

Mu Jinnian was so angry that his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Xiao Qianmo glanced at him indifferently, and someone immediately came forward and lifted his eyelids to check.

After making sure that he was indeed fainted, he turned around and bowed, "Prime Minister Mu is really fainted."

Upon seeing this, Mu Mingzhu did not immediately care about Mu Jinnian, but instead blamed Mu Yunyao.

"Mu Yunyao, you are so unfilial that you actually made your father faint from anger."

Mu Yunyao rolled her eyes.

"You are so filial, why didn't you think of asking a doctor to see him?"

There was actually a monk who knew how to treat patients in the Huguo Temple. No one mentioned it when Mu Mingzhu fainted just now because everyone saw that she was pretending.

Mu Yunyao's words hit the nail on the head, leaving Mu Mingzhu speechless.

Xiao Qianmo, however, found it a bit boring.

"Miss Mu, you still don't seem to know your own identity. How can a person with an unknown background be so arrogant here?"

After saying that, he glanced at the third prince beside him.

"Third Prince, this is your woman, take her home and discipline her yourself? Don't pollute the holy land of Buddhism."

The third prince waved his hands repeatedly when he thought of Mu Mingzhu's questionable background.

"Master Xiao, you are joking. You all saw that he was the one who molested me. I did nothing.

If this is what I am responsible for, then in the future, if anyone wants to enter my palace, they just need to rush over to me."

After saying this, he looked at the prince meaningfully.

The prince just picked up the teacup to drink some tea, but when he saw the meaningful look of the Third Prince and the eagerness of Princess Miaoshan, he suddenly felt his hair stand on end and immediately put down the teacup and said seriously.

"What Third Brother said makes sense. This kind of thing must not be tolerated. If everyone follows suit, it will be disastrous. Lord Governor Xiao should arrest the man first.

As for what crime it is to molest the prince, let the Dali Temple official take a good look at the law code."

Mu Mingzhu was stunned when she heard that. She just wanted to give Mu Yunyao some medicine, and then make her and the Third Prince happy so that she would have to marry into the Third Prince's mansion.

But why have things developed to this point?

Molesting the Third Prince? If she was really detained on this charge, would she still be able to hold her head up high in the circle of noble ladies in the capital?

"No, that's not the case."

Mu Mingzhu could no longer hold back and yelled, "I didn't molest the Third Prince, I just had someone put some drugs in Mu Yunyao's food.

This is just a matter between us sisters, it has nothing to do with others."

After saying that, he looked at Mu Yunyao, who was always protected by Old Lady Rong, and pointed at her like a madman.

"It's all her, it's all her, she must have known about it a long time ago, and that's why she used the trick to scheme against me.

She must have put the drug in the incense burner. She wanted to harm me and the Third Prince, otherwise why would she go out when Chuntao had already given her tea with drug in it? "

After saying that, he seemed to remember something and rushed towards Mu Yunyao with his fangs and claws bared, but was held back by the two servants beside Old Madam Rong.

Mu Mingzhu still shouted unwillingly.

"Tell me, have you discovered it a long time ago?

Where is Chuntao? Did you arrest Chuntao?"

Mu Yunyao was just about to praise her in her heart when Mu Mingzhu finally showed some smartness.

But suddenly he found something wrong. The corners of Mu Mingzhu's eyes were red and her eyeballs were bloodshot. Looking at her, she seemed to be overly excited.

No wonder, she felt that with Mu Mingzhu's personality, she shouldn't have said those words just now.

Mu Yunyao subconsciously looked towards Xiao Qianmo, but saw that Xiao Qianmo was drinking tea with his head down and not looking at her.

The suspicion growing in Mu Yunyao's heart began to waver.

'Is it really not him who did it?'

Little did he know that when her gaze fell on him, Xiao Qianmo was also extremely nervous. There was no tea in the teacup long ago, but he didn't notice it at all.

The prince looked at him and didn't dare to say a word.

I felt mixed emotions in my heart, 'Didn't Governor Xiao realize that he was holding his own teacup?'

Mu Yunyao retracted her gaze and asked coldly to Mu Mingzhu who was going crazy and exploding.

"Mu Mingzhu, do you know what you are talking about?"

As Mu Yunyao finished speaking, Mu Mingzhu seemed to react.

Her eyes widened in horror, she couldn't believe what she had just said.

She rolled her eyes and wanted to try the same trick again, but Xiao Qianmo put the teacup in his hand heavily back on the table.

"It's too late. Miss Mu has already confessed."

"Someone, ask her to sign."

A man dressed in blue, dressed like a clerk, appeared out of nowhere, holding a confession with the ink not yet completely dry, and walked up to Mu Mingzhu.

Behind him was a guard holding cinnabar.

Mu Mingzhu stepped back in fear, shaking her head like a rattle.

"No, no, I won't sign."

Mu Mingzhu glanced at the unconscious Mu Jinnian and knew that he could not help her, so she could only look to the Third Prince for help.

"Third Prince, please seek my brother's favor. Mingzhu doesn't want to do that. Mingzhu won't do that again. Mingzhu will definitely love you well and be your Third Prince's consort."

The third prince suddenly felt that the color on Mu Jinnian's head floated to his head and slowly turned into a huge hat, which was about to be put on his head.

He shuddered all over and raised his hand to disperse the green cloud.

He looked at Mu Mingzhu with a scrutinizing look.

"Then tell me, did you lead me there on purpose?"

Mu Mingzhu subconsciously wanted to shake her head, but hesitated when she saw the third prince's cold eyes.

The Third Prince also warned at the right time, "Mu Mingzhu, this prince will only give you this one chance, you'd better think it over before you speak."

Mu Mingzhu knew Baili Xun too well. When she saw his cruel eyes, she couldn't help but shudder.

He shrank his neck and dared not look at her, and twisted his handkerchief for a long time before he was forced to admit it.

"Yes."

The sound is like the roar of a grave, and you can't hear it at all if you don't listen carefully.

After saying that, she secretly looked up at the Third Prince. Seeing that his face was as gloomy as water and he looked like he wanted to tear her apart, Mu Mingzhu quickly tried to make amends.

"But Mingzhu likes you too."
