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

The second wife Rong also said, "Isn't it? Huaiyang is so far away. If you leave, I don't know when we will meet again..."

Madam Ning held Yuan Ying's hand and said, "Speaking of which, Ying'er has reached the right age to get married. She has been to many banquets these days. Let's take a look around and decide which young man is good. With the Gu family around, no one will dare to bully her... Didn't my younger sister say that she couldn't find a suitable family in Huaiyang? If we don't decide for a long time, won't it be a waste of time?"

Madam Gu was quite open-minded. "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. If they stay in Kyoto and separate their flesh and blood, it is not a good idea. It would be better for them to go back with their son-in-law as soon as possible."

Madam Yuan looked at Mu Qingyan, full of guilt, "It's a pity that I can't see you get into the bridal sedan..."

Mu Qingyan walked over with a smile, squatted down and leaned on her legs, and said coquettishly, "Aunt is well now. If you miss me, please write to me. If there is nothing serious in Beijing, I will fly to Huaiyang to see you. As for whether you want to see me get married, if you can't bear to see it, then when the day comes, I will go to Huaiyang to pick you up and bring you to Beijing, how about that?"

Madam Yuan burst into laughter and said, "You only know how to make me happy. How can a bride who is getting married run around? Will the prince allow you to act so foolishly?"

"If he doesn't allow, I won't marry—" Before she could finish her words, Madam Yuan covered her mouth.

"Silly girl, getting married is a lifelong event, don't say anything unlucky. Your aunt has lived in the palace for some time, and you can see that the prince's love for you is real. It's easy to get a priceless treasure, but it's hard to get a lover. You must cherish it, understand?"

Mu Qingyan's mouth was covered and she could only blink blankly.

After chatting with the elders, Mu Qingyan felt a little overwhelmed and winked at Yuan Ying.

Yuan Ying spoke up in time and rescued her from the pile of instructions from her elders.

When she reached the corner of the back garden, she could no longer hear any sound from the main hall. She looked back nervously, then patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

It's pitiful when there's no love, but too much love can make people overwhelmed...

Yuanying covered her mouth and laughed.

Mu Qingyan tapped her forehead and said, "You're still laughing. I'll see if you can still laugh after your marriage is settled."

Yuan Ying touched her forehead and said, "Cousin, the prince is really good to you. In my life, I don't ask for great wealth and honor, but I hope to find someone who treats me wholeheartedly and treats me well in the future, and not to have a bunch of concubines sleeping with me to make me angry."

Mu Qingyan sighed and naturally took her hand, "It's really not easy to find a sincere person. As for Prince Ling... well... who can predict what will happen in the future? Let's just go and see..."

Even if there is some affection now, who knows how long it can last?

Although she said that after marrying her, he couldn't have other women, but he was a prince, if he really wanted to take a concubine, she wouldn't dare to stop him, right? After all, being jealous was also a violation of the seven grounds for divorce.

As Mu Qingyan lowered her head in silence, Yuan Ying looked at Jinqiu walking towards them from afar and said, "Cousin, Aunt Jinqiu seems to have something to talk to you about. I'll go down first so as not to disturb your conversation. Let's talk about it another day..."

Yuanying has always been very sensible and never asks questions that are not necessary.

"it is good."

Jinqiu hurried over, with an indescribable look on her face, "Miss, I was just thinking of telling Madam Yuan that I was going to look for you, but I didn't expect you to come back to the Gu Mansion..."

She now lives with Madam Yuan in the Gu family.

Qin Yu, the daughter, is a capable person. Now, with the care of Madam Yuan, she has set up a small stall selling wontons on the streets of Kyoto. I heard that the business is pretty good. Jin Qiu is not good at showing up in public because of her status, and she rarely helps, but she can handle it herself and has a good profit.

"Aunt Jin, do you have anything to tell me?"

"My daughter Xiaoyu has been doing good business these days. I was afraid that she would be too busy, so I thought of covering my face to help her. But when I got there, I saw a familiar figure sneaking away from Xiaoyu's stall. I followed her all the way to the north of the city, and found out that she was Nanny Tan who was with the old lady back then—"

At this point, Jinqiu was a little excited. "Miss, the old lady didn't die of illness. She was poisoned... The person who poisoned her was Lan... After the lady was killed by her, the old lady had always disagreed with the Duke's decision to make her his wife, saying that she had evil intentions, so she was so cruel... Nanny Qin didn't serve the old lady personally at the beginning, but she was deeply in love with the old lady. After accidentally hearing the conversation between Lan and Nanny Zhang, Lan wanted to pretend that there was a fire and burn her to death. She was lucky enough to escape, and the person who was burned to death was the cook in the old lady's courtyard... But her face was also burned by the fire, and she was treated as a monster. Now she can only stay in the poor alley and beg for a living..."

If she murders her mother-in-law, Mu Sinian will never tolerate her again.

She was just worried about not having a breakthrough! Great! She could finally let out some anger!

She murdered her mother-in-law, killed the Marquis's first wife, and harmed other people's children. Even if she had a great background, she could not avoid death.

"Can you convince her to testify in court?"

Jin Qiu nodded seriously, "I have already tested her when I came to her today. She was able to survive because of the great kindness of the old lady. She has been hiding for these years with no clothes to wear and no food to eat. If it can bring the murderer to justice, she will naturally be willing."

"Okay, then let's choose an auspicious day to send the Lan family off!"

A cold light flashed in Mu Qingyan's eyes.

Today, Jingzhao Prefecture is under the control of Prince Ling, but to be safe, she still has to find someone to ask.

"Aunt, please don't go out for the time being, so as not to attract attention."

"Okay, as long as the girl needs me, I will go to court and seek justice for the lady and the old lady!"

After Mu Qingyan said goodbye to her elders, she left the Gu family and went to a restaurant, a restaurant that Yang Yi must pass by when going to and from court.

She watched from the upstairs window, secretly calculating the time when Yang Yi would be off duty. When she saw his carriage from afar, she asked Yuzhan to go downstairs and wait.

"Mr. Yang, my daughter invites you."

Yang Yi often went in and out of the Qin Mansion, so naturally he recognized the jade hairpin.

Without hesitation, he got out of the carriage and went upstairs.

"Miss, I am here to ask you, but what can I do for Sang Bai?"

Mu Qingyan stood up and made a gesture to invite him to sit down. "Sang Bai is fine and is still teaching in the school. I will go to pick her up later. But today, I have some questions about criminal law that I would like to ask the eldest master."

Yang Yi followed suit and sat down.

In order to avoid suspicion, Mu Qingyan sat down two stools away and asked Yuzhan to watch at the door, which was ajar.
