I'm shocked! After breaking off the engagement, the emperor's uncle wants to have a fake m

"Then let Yunxi go. Doesn't Prince Yong like to collude with the Yi people? I will give him this opportunity."

Queen Qin knew that this was not His Majesty's true intention.

Although he didn't like the Queen Mother, he was still very caring towards his brothers and sisters.

Defending the country is a man's job, and he disdains to sacrifice a woman in exchange for temporary peace. The reason he said this was to take this opportunity to force King Yong to take action.

Outside the palace, Mu Qingyan had already boarded the carriage. Yuan Xiao came here on horseback, so naturally he would ride on horseback as well.

The palace was not a place to talk. Although he had many questions to ask this niece whom he had never met, now was not the right time.

The carriage drove to the door of the Gu family. After the doorman went in to report, the two men walked in slowly.

Gu Yunhe and his wife sat at the top, his sons and daughters-in-law sat in a row according to their age, and his grandchildren all stood.

Yuan Xiao strode in, "The son-in-law greets his father-in-law and mother-in-law..."

"You've been traveling so long, don't be so polite." Gu Yunhe said.

But Yuan Xiao was a considerate person. He nodded slightly and then bowed to his brothers-in-law as equals, "Hello, brothers and sister-in-law..."

Finally, he looked at his wife, "Madam..."

Madam Yuan came over with tears in her eyes, "You are safe, which is better than anything else..."

Madam Gu said, "Since it's a family reunion, we should celebrate it. My son-in-law has come all the way back to Kyoto, and he must be exhausted. Go wash and change your clothes first. We will hold a banquet to welcome you in the evening."

After Yuan Xiao and his wife left, Madam Gu waved to Mu Qingyan, who walked over obediently, "Grandma..."

"Kid, I never see you. What do you do every day?"

Mu Qingyan glanced at Xulin who was standing between the cousins. The two siblings smiled at each other, and then Mu Qingyan said, "It's just some things to kill time in the morning, nothing worth mentioning. Grandmother, uncle and cousin have returned safely, and even if all the worries of aunt are gone, she will get better in the future, you don't have to worry..."

She had already experienced the death of a young person, and she couldn't bear it a second time...

"Okay, okay, after the morning court today, His Majesty specifically kept your grandfather to talk, saying that your wedding date is set for half a year. You don't have to worry about the dowry. Your grandmother will definitely let you marry in style."

Mu Qingyan didn't care at first. Anyway, between her and Prince Ling... well, let's not talk about it. Marrying him was just a title, and it wouldn't become a reality. What was the point of having so much dowry?

But in front of the elders, she could only lower her head shyly, "Grandma... there are so many people here... why are you bringing this up..."

Madam Gu laughed, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it, let's not talk about it, just know it in your heart, your brothers are all disappointing, they didn't even get me a granddaughter-in-law..."

The young masters present all lowered their heads in embarrassment. They were all fighting, so who would want to get married...

Xu Lin secretly felt lucky that he was not affected. However, the next moment, Madam Gu spoke again, "Lin'er, your sister is getting married soon. As her brother, you have to be more careful... You are not young anymore..."

Xulin gritted his teeth and forced a smile, but he didn't know how to respond.

He used to think that he was alone, without any relatives or friends. Even though he had so many brothers and sisters in the Xiaoyao Sect, he often felt very lonely and didn't know where he came from.

Now that he had finally found his roots, he was extremely happy, but his identity could not be exposed. After all, his parents' marriage could not be exposed to the public, fearing that it would be criticized by the world.

He was fine, but his sister Mu Qingyan was in trouble.

She would have to bear the identity of the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion all her life, and was rejected by the Duke's Mansion... She was in trouble everywhere and had a hard time.

It was rare for the brother and sister to be alone together, so Xulin said, "If you want to leave the mansion, I have a way. Are you willing to give it a try?"

Mu Qingyan smiled and shook her head, "Brother, have you forgotten? I am now the future princess consort granted by the emperor, and I can only live with this identity for the rest of my life... As for the matter of recognizing my ancestry, for the sake of my mother's reputation, I still can't make it public. I think my grandparents also mean this."

"But you are in the mansion..."

"It doesn't matter. They can't do anything to me now, and they can't make me angry. Besides, I will take revenge for my mother's hatred and my own hatred myself." She paused and said, "Are you used to living in the Gu family?"

Everyone in the Gu family knew his identity, but the servants did not. They only thought that he was a close friend of the young masters and was a guest staying at the Gu family.

This identity can never be revealed to the public.

Xulin seemed to be indifferent. "My grandparents and uncle are all very good people. They are also very warm to me, but..."

"Often urging marriage?" Mu Qingyan thought.

Xulin blushed and said nothing.

"Brother, do you have a crush on someone while you're out there? Or, do you have a little sister in the Xiaoyao Sect who you've known since childhood?"

Xulin seemed to have thought of something, his face turned redder and redder, he lowered his head, found a lame excuse and left quickly.

Yuzhan saw him leave, then she walked closer, "Miss, what did you say to the eldest master? You even made him embarrassed..."

Mu Qingyan never expected that her brother was so thin-skinned...

She smiled and said, "Nothing, I just asked him if he had a crush on someone. Who knew he would be even more shameless than a girl..." Then she changed the subject and asked, "Is there any news from Lan Hui?"

Seeing that she was serious, Yuzhan naturally didn't dare to smile as usual, and immediately said seriously, "Yueban is watching her. My cousin just lost her child, so I guess she doesn't have the energy to do anything..."

Mu Qingyan raised her eyes, "You are wrong. What she wants to do happens to be at this moment. If she doesn't take action first, someone else will."

Yuzhin was smart and understood it immediately.

Since the wife of Marquis Xiangning had aborted her pregnancy, she naturally would not let her go.

If Lan Hui died during the miscarriage, that would be fine. But if she survived by chance, the wife of the Marquis of Xiangning would not let her go easily.

After all, there is no better excuse than dying from weakness after a miscarriage.

Of course Lan Hui also understood this principle, so she made preparations early on.

Not only did she not touch the food sent by the main courtyard, she even refused to accept clothes, not to mention doctors. On the day of the miscarriage, she had no one to turn to for help, and now Liang didn't care about her.

After all, a woman who has just lost a child, no matter how strong her temper is, is still very weak.

But she underestimated Lan Hui's hatred for her.

She had always thought that she could control Lan Hui and let her die quietly in the backyard. She had even chosen the next wife for her son...

She is the direct descendant of the Liang family, and should be called the niece of her aunt.

But, in the end, it was she who lost her life silently...
