This girl looks carefree, but she is actually very fragile and sentimental inside.

Prince Ling knew that the two sisters had something to say, so he did not keep them for long. He just sent them there and left.

Mu Qingyan knocked on the door and took her in.

Qin Sangbai has been sent back safely by Yang Yi.

Seeing Mu Yingyu coming, she was obviously a little surprised, but she didn't show it. She just told the maid to serve tea.

She just served tea and went into the house to give the two sisters space to talk.

Mu Yingyu didn't speak for a long time. She held the teacup in both hands until she felt a chill in her palms, and then she let go.

He drew his hands down and placed them on his legs.

"You came to Qin's house to look for me so late, but what happened?"

Mu Yingyu curled her lips and said, "Today, my mother asked someone to find a match for me, saying that she wanted me to get married, and my father also agreed..."

She paused and continued, "I'm not unhappy with my parents' arrangement. I'm just unhappy that Mu Ruge helped me choose this marriage. The other party is also the son of a duke, but he is disabled... I don't understand the affairs of the court, but I also know that she wants to use my marriage as a bargaining chip to win over the court officials..."

"I had a quarrel with my parents and ran away, but I had nowhere else to go except to find you. Did I cause trouble for my sister?"

Mu Qingyan held her hand and said, "No, no matter when you come to me, I won't think it's a bother. If you don't want this marriage, I can help you turn it down, but you must be prepared. Since they have set their sights on your marriage, I think in the future, it will be either a duke's mansion or a marquis' mansion. Anyway, as long as it can bring help to Mu Ruge, they will push you out without hesitation. If you don't want to be used as a pawn, then you have to stand up on your own and not be restricted by them..."

When Mu Yingyu looked up, her eyes were red.

She leaned on Mu Qingyan's shoulder, and her whole body seemed to be broken, looking very pitiful.

"Sister, I want to find someone to marry, but I'm afraid that the person I find is powerless and will bring him a fatal disaster..."

"Then you should get over this hurdle first, and wait until he is successful and famous, and no longer someone who can be crushed to death by anyone, then you can marry him."

After a moment of silence, Mu Qingyan suddenly said, "Ayu, there is something I must explain to you first."

Hearing her serious tone, she felt that the matter must be complicated, so Mu Yingyu straightened up and said, "Sister, go ahead and talk. I'm listening."

She could probably guess who what she wanted to say was related to, and that day would come sooner or later.

"Your mother not only killed my mother, but also almost killed me and my brother. Later, in order to take the position of mistress, she killed my grandmother. I must avenge myself for all these things. If you... But, she is your mother after all. If you have any grudges..."

"Brother? You have a brother?"

"Yes, my mother gave birth to twins. She was worried that my brother would compete with her son for the position of Crown Prince in the future, so she wanted to drown my newborn brother. Later, he was rescued by a loyal servant, and she sent people to hunt him down... The servant put my brother in a dilapidated temple, and he himself hugged a pile of straw and pretended to be holding a child, and jumped off the cliff, and the matter was dropped..."

She believed that Mu Yingyu was not the same person as Mu Ruge and Lan.

She can distinguish right from wrong, as well as reason and justice.

But whether she could understand it or not, she had to do it.

"If these things were made public, your mother would be sentenced to death..."

Mu Yingyu was trembling all over, but she didn't say a word for a long time.

Until she calmed down, she said, "Your mother's life is also a life, and your grandmother's life is also a life. If you do something wrong, you should be punished. Sister, I won't blame you... I know that you were exiled when you were young and suffered a lot. All your suffering was caused by my mother... And, your brother, he is still alive today, it's because he is lucky... Not because my mother let him go..."

"I'm glad you think this way. If you still have grudges, you can just pretend that you don't have a sister like me in the future. Anyway, I will definitely do this..."

Mu Yingyu shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Mother doesn't treat me as her own child. She only has my brother and second sister in her heart. If you hadn't saved me last time, I would have become a wronged soul in the Duke's Mansion... Just do whatever you want to do, don't worry about me, even if I can't help, I won't cause you any trouble... In fact, if you need a witness, I can go to court..."

Mu Qingyan said hurriedly, "No, you can't show up. No matter whether you recognize this mother in your heart or not, she is your mother in the eyes of the world. It is a great rebellion for a son to sue his mother. You can't live in disgrace because of a person with blood on his hands. Just pretend that you know nothing, okay?"

Mu Yingyu's eyes were filled with tears. "I will listen to my sister..."

She is still one's mother after all. No matter how much resentment one has towards her, there is still blood relationship.

She was sad and scared, and rightfully so.

He sent someone to pass the message to the Duke's Mansion, and after discussing it with Qin Sangbai, he let her stay in the Qin Mansion.

Anyway, the Lan family would not go to the trouble of sending someone to pick her up.

After Mu Yingyu fell asleep, Mu Qingyan was still sitting in the flower hall in a daze. Qin Sangbai came over with hot tea and sat down beside her. "Once you have made a decision, don't look back."

Mu Qingyan finally smiled knowingly.

"you're right."

There were some things that she hadn't told Qin Sangbai, but she hadn't concealed them either. With her intelligence, she was sure to be able to guess a thing or two.

Just like today, when Yang Yi went to pick her up, although he would not tell her about the case, as long as he said that they had met, Qin Sangbai could roughly guess why she was looking for Yang Yi.

"It's just that, poor Ayu... She is younger than you and me. But, the Duke's wife..."

She was not a gossiper, so she stopped here, but everyone knew what she meant.

Originally, Mu Qingyan wanted to wait a little longer, but they actually wanted to push Mu Yingyu into the fire pit. This matter had to be done as soon as possible, and the Lan family had to be brought down before the marriage agreement was finalized.

Now that the Lan family has collapsed, Mu Ruge should give up this idea for the time being.

So she wrote a petition overnight, had it delivered to the Marquis of Xiangning's Mansion, and handed it to Yang Yi personally.

After the Qin Mansion suffered a night attack, things were a little calmer the next day, but Mu Qingyan still didn't dare to relax. When Old Master Qin and Qin Sangbai went out, there must be someone secretly protecting them.

Today, Yang Yi will go to court to file a complaint. Regardless of whether Emperor Jianning will personally hear the case, she, the victim, will be summoned to the palace. Therefore, she must prepare to enter the palace.
