Mu Jinnian tried to discuss it with her again, but was rejected by Mu Yunyao.

“No need for anything else. I can’t stay in the mansion for many years. I just want to learn how to manage the household.

If it is inconvenient for you, you can buy me a house outside and I can manage it myself."

Mu Yunyao was determined not to give in, and Mu Jinnian was furious.

"You are unreasonable."

Which family would kick out the eldest daughter because of an adopted daughter? Would it be acceptable if this got out?

This wasn't a discussion at all; it was clearly an attempt to embarrass him.

It was late at night and Mu Yunyao's patience had run out.

"I am asking for your advice. If the Prime Minister is unwilling, I don't mind handing this matter over to the Ministry of Punishment."

Mu Quyao looked at Xiao Qianmo as she spoke, only to see that he had his eyes half-closed, seeming to be very much looking forward to taking over this matter.

"Are you threatening me?"

Mu Jinnian’s face turned pale.

Mu Yunyao rolled her eyes in her heart, thinking, isn't this obvious?

But he still looked friendly.

"I'm discussing this with you."

With so many eyes staring at him, Mu Jinnian knew that today's matter would not be easily resolved if she didn't give in. But this stubborn girl refused to listen, and he really had no idea what to do with her for the time being.

In the end, I could only grit my teeth and nod.

"Okay, I promise you."

Isn't it just a stewardship? He can give it out today and take it back tomorrow.

Mu Yunyao knew what he was thinking, so she turned around and bowed to the two people who were the least fearless at the scene.

"I'd like to trouble the Crown Prince and Governor Xiao to be witnesses."

The prince naturally had no objection. He admired Mu Yunyao's personality very much and nodded in agreement.

"No problem."

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Xiao Qianmo again, and Mu Yunyao also followed his gaze.

Xiao Qianmo still looked lazy, but his sitting posture had changed.

Looking at Mu Yunyao, he spoke with a rare seriousness in his tone.

"You really won't pursue this matter?"

"It's still necessary to keep a criminal record, in case someone regrets it later."

Mu Yunyao's words pleased Xiao Qianmo.

Xiao Qianmo thought about it and agreed.

"it is good."

When Mu Jinnian saw that she was still playing the same trick on him, he was immediately furious. He wanted to say something but was afraid that Mu Yunyao would go back on her word and bring up the matter again.

As long as she gives in, Mu Jinnian will not worry about the Third Prince. The Third Prince cares more about his face and his own interests.

If he has already lost face, he will naturally grab any benefits he can get.

After reaching a consensus, Mu Jinnian took Mu Mingzhu down the mountain overnight.

However, Mu Yunyao did not leave with them. She came to perform a ritual for her mother. Even if someone had already lit a perpetual lamp for her, it would not affect her from performing a ritual to commemorate her mother.

As for Mu Jinnian and Mu Mingzhu, they might have already forgotten the purpose of this trip.

After everyone had left, Old Lady Rong took Mu Yunyao's hand with a loving look on her face.

"Girl, why bother getting involved in the muddy waters of the Mu family?"

How could a young girl like her, who had just reached the age of 15, be a match for an old fox who had been immersed in officialdom for decades, even though she had the upper hand today?

That was nothing more than a contest with Mu Mingzhu, and it just so happened that the people on the mountain today were the Crown Prince and Governor Xiao. If it had been anyone else other than them, she would have been the only one to be captured today.

Mu Yunyao knew what the old lady was worried about and comforted her with a smile.

"Don't worry, Aunt Grandmother. The Mu family is not a dangerous place for me. If Mu Jinnian still has some shame, he won't attack me openly. The only thing they can control about me is my marriage."

"Ugh……"

Old Lady Rong sighed deeply and patted her hands helplessly.

"Silly girl, this one thing is enough for you to bear. In our previous lives, we women depended on our fathers and brothers, and after we get married, we depend on our husbands. If they really marry you into those awful families, how are you going to live the rest of your life?"

Mu Yunyao was not worried about this at all.

Mu Jinnian is a person who simply puts profit above all else. Even if the person is the murderer of his father, he will immediately turn the enemy into a friend as long as it is beneficial to him.

And she and Mu Mingzhu were just tools for him to consolidate his power.

The reason why he is on Mu Mingzhu's side now is simply because he feels that Mu Mingzhu is more valuable to him.

Of course, she wouldn't be stupid enough to prove her worth to Mu Jinnian.

Mu Yunyao comforted Old Lady Rong in a soft voice.

"Don't worry, Aunt Grandmother. I have already made plans for this matter. The housekeeper power is in my hands. It is not that easy for Mu Jinnian to plot against me. Besides, I have to get something back for my mother."

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Old Lady Rong said nothing more and just held her hand, refusing to let go.

Old Madam Rong wanted her to move back to her own courtyard with her, but Mu Yunyao refused.

"There's more than one room in this courtyard. It's only one night, so I can just stay in the east wing."

It was already too late and the old lady was not very well rested. If she followed her back, it would definitely disturb Old Lady Rong's rest.

After seeing off the old man who kept looking back every few steps, Mu Yunyao rubbed her stiff shoulders and went back to the house.

The main house could no longer be lived in. Thinking of the two people who had just been in there, Mu Yunyao couldn't help but feel nauseous as she recalled the scene in her previous life when they had performed a live pornographic act in front of her and forced her to watch the scene.

Since these two people like to perform in public so much, how can she enjoy it alone?

I just don't know what the third prince feels like now that he has experienced the feeling of being powerless.

After all, if the drug didn’t work after all, the Third Prince himself would probably doubt that he was dying, right?

Mu Yunyao did not rest immediately after returning to the east wing, but whispered a few instructions to Qingyun.

Not long after, Qingyun led Xingchen into the house.

"Miss, Mu Jinnian is not someone who goes up the mountain."

Xingchen threw these words at her as soon as he entered the room, causing Mu Yunyao's face to change slightly.

"Who else?"

No matter who he came with, that person never showed up from beginning to end, which can only be said that his purpose was not simple.

Xingchen shook his head. "It was too dark, so I didn't dare to get too close. Besides, there were many experts around that person."

Mu Yunyao nodded in agreement. "You did a good job. Next time you encounter something like this, just watch from a distance. Safety is the most important thing."

"Yes, master."

Mu Yunyao put this matter aside and thought of another thing.

"When did Governor Xiao go up the mountain?"

She didn't know that Xiao Qianmo was on the mountain before, and she even asked Master Yuankong to set up a longevity tablet for someone. If the real owner happened to run into her, wouldn't it be so embarrassing?

Mu Yunyao felt her face getting hot as she thought about it.

Suddenly, she thought of another person.

The owner of the building, Xiao, who said he wanted to watch a show, never showed up.

Mu Yunyao frowned slightly. This shouldn't happen.

Xingchen didn't know what she was thinking, and when he saw her expression change, he immediately said.

"Lord Xiao should have been at the Huguo Temple before we went up the mountain."

Xingchen was not sure when he went up the mountain, but he knew who entered the Huguo Temple after they went up the mountain.

Mu Quyao also knew that Xingchen could only find out a limited amount of information by himself, so she didn't say anything.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Later, contact the people from Qianxue Tower. The amount of money is not important. Ask them to find out who went up the mountain with Mu Jinnian."

I don't know why he always feels that this person's appearance is very important.
