She didn't mention King Chong because she didn't want to alert the enemy.

Upon hearing this, Mu Sinian naturally didn't dare to say anything more.

Although Mu Qingyan is just a woman, she has a very powerful mouth and a quick mind.

If he revealed his true colors and let her know that he was actually Prince Chong's man, he would be in trouble with His Royal Highness Prince Chong.

So, I could only watch people leave.

There is no mistress in this mansion, and the concubines in the backyard now follow Mu Qingyan's lead.

All the children born were daughters and were of no use.

After all his scheming, will he end up without any descendants?

Mu Qingyan brought the people back to Taoyuan and asked Yuzhan to apply medicine to Aunt Qin while she took care of Mu Yingyu.

Mu Sinian was a military commander with some experience in martial arts. Fortunately, he was wearing thick clothes in winter, otherwise he would have been beaten to death.

But even though she was wearing thick clothes, she was still beaten to a pulp. It was obvious that he really wanted to beat her to death.

Mu Yingyu lay on the bed, not saying a word, her little face full of grievance.

"Cry if you want to. Didn't I give Yueban to you? Where is she?"

Mu Yingyu stopped sobbing. "I, I almost forgot to tell you. When it was getting dark today, the school caught fire for some unknown reason. The children were locked in the classroom and almost suffocated to death. I was afraid of another accident, so I asked Yueban to stay in the school and didn't let her come back..."

"Is anyone injured..."

"Yueban was smart and found it in time. There were no casualties, but the children were frightened. The gentlemen were also very scared."

"I understand. Don't worry about it. Just take care of your injuries. I'll have someone send you to live in my small courtyard tomorrow. Don't come back."

Aunt Qin had already applied the medicine, put on her clothes and came over. Seeing that Mu Yingyu's back was covered with bloody whip marks, her eyes turned red again, "It's all my fault that I'm incompetent and didn't protect the third lady well..."

"Don't say that, Auntie. You were also whipped for protecting Ah Yu."

Aunt Qin wiped her tears and said, "The Duke has accepted the betrothal gifts, so why did he suddenly change his mind and let the third girl marry someone else? That man could be the third girl's father, and I heard that he has had several wives who have died..."

As for matters concerning the imperial court, Mu Qingyan was not in a position to say much to Aunt Qin, and only said, "If you can use your daughter's marriage to consolidate your position, why not do it?"

Aunt Qin was terrified when she heard this.

"The three girls..."

"Aunt, I will protect Ah Yu. It's getting late, you should go back and rest early... Remember to ask the maid to apply the medicine Yuzhan left for you."

Aunt Qin knew that she could not help much and it was useless to say more, so she nodded and left Taoyuan.

Mu Yingyu was probably beaten too badly, and after taking the medicine, she fainted.

In the second half of the night, she developed a high fever again. Mu Qingyan hurriedly asked Yuzhan to boil some medicine to reduce the fever. After drinking it, she fell asleep in a daze. The fever did not subside until dawn. After all this tossing and turning, she lost half her life.

"Miss, let's just take the person away like this. Will the master agree?"

"No, just demolish the Duke's Mansion. I don't know who dares to stop me."

At this time, Jiu Niang hurried in from outside, looking solemn, "Miss, there is a sedan chair outside, saying it is from the Wenchang Marquis' Mansion, coming to pick up the third lady..."

Mu Yingyu was dying. Upon hearing this, she grabbed Mu Qingyan's hand and said, "Sister, save me..."

Mu Qingyan patted her hands, "Jiu Niang, you take good care of her."

Jiu Niang responded.

"Yuzhan, let's go!"

The Wenchang Marquis Mansion was once prosperous.

The current wife of Wenchang Marquis is the daughter of the former Prince Ji, Princess Pingyang. According to seniority, His Majesty should call her the Imperial Aunt.

Her son, Marquis Wenchang, was over forty years old, and his previous wives all died at home under unclear circumstances.

He has no children left so far.

Mu Sinian's brain must be broken!

Only then would she marry her daughter to a man of the same age as him!

In front of the Duke's Mansion, many people had gathered to watch the commotion caused by the people from the Wenchang Marquis' Mansion.

The person who came to pick up the bride was none other than the Marquis Wenchang, whose hair had already turned gray.

He was tall but skinny, and his bright red wedding dress hung loosely on his body, like a sack.

His eye sockets are sunken, his cheekbones are protruding, and he has a pointed face and monkey-like chin.

The moment he saw Mu Qingyan, he grinned, revealing a row of big yellow teeth.

"I didn't expect that the third daughter of Duke Fuguo would be so beautiful..."

Mu Qingyan didn't say anything, but Yuzhan had already spoken, "How dare you! My girl is the future Princess Ling! If you keep looking at me, be careful or the prince will dig out your eyes!"

No matter how high he is as a marquis, he is never greater than a prince!

Yuzhan thought about it and straightened her back again.

Upon hearing this, Wenchang Hou showed a trace of panic on his face, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, "I am sorry for my rudeness, I hope you will forgive me..."

Mu Qingyan was not polite, "The Marquis has one foot in the coffin, but he still wants to marry my third sister. What a big face!"

When the Duke of Fuguo heard the servants report that Mu Qingyan had arrived at the gate of the mansion, he hurried out and happened to hear these words.

He was so angry that he wanted to jump up and down, "Rebellious girl! Who are you talking to!"

Mu Qingyan turned her head and looked over. Her eyes were as cold as ice in winter, which made Mu Sinian shiver.

"You, how dare you look at your father like that! Marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmakers' words since ancient times. I can't make the decision for my own daughter!"

He appears to be strong on the outside but is actually weak on the inside, and it is obvious that he is guilty.

The voices sound hollow at the end.

Mu Qingyan stood in front of Wenchang Marquis and said loudly, "I am standing here today. If anyone from Wenchang Marquis's mansion dares to come in, I will kill him, regardless of master or servant!"

Wenchang Hou was no longer afraid. He jumped up and cursed, "Who do you think you are! My mother is a princess. Even the current emperor and your future husband have to call her aunt! How dare you be so disrespectful! Not to mention that you haven't married into the palace yet, even if you do in the future, my mother is still your elder! When will it be your turn to be arrogant!"

Mu Qingyan sneered, "My Lord, you are already this old, but you still keep talking about your mother. Could it be that you are still not weaned?"

The people who were watching the fun couldn't help laughing.

Marquis Wenchang's face turned red with embarrassment.

"You! You little bitch! How dare you humiliate the current marquis like this! I will definitely write a memorial to the emperor and report you! You are so disrespectful and incompetent, you are unworthy of marrying into the royal family!"

Mu Qingyan's expression remained unchanged, "Okay! Lord, please report quickly! Otherwise, His Majesty won't know that you, a man half buried in the ground, want to marry a little girl who can be your daughter as a concubine. How shameless! It's a good opportunity for His Majesty to check how your previous wives died!"
