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

Mu Qingyan patted her shoulder and said, "Okay, you take care of her. I'll ask the kitchen to make some food and send it over."

Mu Qingyan originally thought that with the imperial edict from Emperor Jianning, the matter of Mu Yingyu was settled, but she did not expect that there would be more complications.

Princess Pingyang filed a complaint with the Queen Mother and also dragged the Grand Princess to plead her case. The two of them sang the same tune and seemed determined to send Mu Yingyu to the Marquis of Wenchang's mansion.

Queen Mother Lan was troubled by the quarrel between the two people. "Your Majesty has issued an imperial decree not to force her to marry. Your Majesty is serious about his words. What can I do?"

The eldest princess was very dissatisfied with Emperor Jianning and Prince Ling because of her son's imprisonment, so she wanted to go against them and cause trouble for them.

Who Mu Yingyu marries or not has nothing to do with her. Her goal is to make the emperor and Prince Ling unhappy.

Princess Pingyang is even more so.

Her son can marry anyone he wants!

This Mu Qingyan is just a court lady, and she hasn't even married into the royal family yet! She dares to speak ill of her. If she really becomes a princess in the future, she, as an elder, will have to pay respect to her!

Thinking of that bitch's disrespect to her, she became even more furious. "As the Queen Mother, don't you have the right to choose a daughter-in-law that suits your heart? Didn't you see how arrogant Mu Qingyan was today? It was as if she was going to marry the Emperor instead of Prince Ling in the future, and become the Queen and the mother of the country! She even insulted me in front of so many people. No one has ever dared to talk to me like this in my life! She doesn't take me seriously, which means she despises the royal family! You let such a woman marry in, you are slapping me in the face!"

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Lan just wanted to roll her eyes.

It's not that others don't take you seriously, but that you take yourself too seriously.

Not to mention that the Prince Ji's Mansion had long been in decline and had lost its incense, even if Prince Ji was still alive, he would be a clan relative separated by many generations.

She was just a princess, but she relied on her seniority to put on airs and offended so many noble families!

If her son was a capable man, why did he lose one wife after another and not even have a child? Now he is already old, and still wants to marry a young girl who has just reached the age of 15!

Although Lan was dead, she had truly loved her niece.

Although she didn't like Mu Yingyu, after all, she was still her niece! How could she watch her jump into the fire pit?

It didn't matter how much dissatisfaction she had in her heart, she couldn't say it out loud, and could only smile, "Aunt, although I am the empress dowager, I am not the emperor's biological mother after all. There are many things that I can't say... Besides, the emperor has already issued an imperial decree, and this matter is already ironclad. Even if you say it to the sky, you can't make the emperor take back the imperial decree, right? Mu Yingyu is now popular among the people, has been rewarded, and has the rank of a county lady. She is not a dough that we can knead and flatten at will..."

Her words were meant to remind Princess Pingyang not to think of dirty ideas when she couldn't do anything openly.

If something happened to the county lord who was enthroned by the emperor's decree, it would be a true disrespect to the royal family.

Who among those who can sit here is not a smart person?

Although Princess Pingyang was domineering and overbearing, she was not really stupid and she understood what Empress Dowager Lan said.

But she refused to give in. "Humph! I know that Mu Yingyu is your great-niece. Your good niece was sentenced to death, and it also implicated your Mingyuan Marquis's Mansion. Now you have become a toothless tiger in this palace. Who knows, one day, you will have to live your life depending on the mood of that little bitch Mu Qingyan..."

After Princess Pingyang finished speaking, she stood up and left without looking back.

Empress Dowager Lan was so angry that she wanted to kill him.

Seeing that there was nothing left for her to do, the eldest princess naturally left in disappointment.

However, when she reached the door, Empress Dowager Lan stopped her and said, "If you want to achieve your wish, stay out of the Wenchang Marquis's Mansion. The water here is very deep, be careful not to drown!"

The eldest princess smiled and turned back, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. No matter how deep the water is in Wenchang Marquis's Mansion, it can't flood my eldest princess's Mansion. What I want is for my son to live well. If anyone dares to stop me from doing this, I will fight him to the death!"

After the eldest princess left, Queen Mother Lan sneered, "Okay, your son is dead, so you want to fight to the death with others, right? Then fight! Let's see who can win... Humph..."

The next day, in Taoyuan of the Duke's Mansion, Mu Qingyan changed the medicine for Mu Yingyu and put clothes on her.

"Your wound, it's best not to move. It will easily split if you move. It's winter now, and wounds heal slowly. You have to be careful. Otherwise, it will easily leave scars..."

Mu Yingyu nodded, "Sister, I'm sorry to have troubled you..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I am your sister. If I don't take care of you, who will? You should just stay in the mansion and recover from your injuries. This matter involves the powerful and wealthy, so it is not appropriate to involve Zhang Song, otherwise he might be in danger of death. So I won't tell him. When you are better, you can talk to him yourself."

Mu Yingyu lay on the pillow, looking lonely, not knowing what she was thinking...

"You're all right, I have to go to the school to check."

The fire was not an accident, there must be a conspiracy behind it.

"Yuzhan, you stay and take care of the Third Miss. If anything happens, let me know. If you can't leave, find a way to ask Aunt Qin for help. Don't delay!"

"Yes, girl...but the girl can't be alone..."

"It's okay, Yueban is still in the academy, don't worry about me."

Jiu Niang was taking care of her mother in the courtyard, Yueban and Yingpo were in the school, Yunai and Mujin were in the Qin Mansion, and none of the five secret guards assigned to her by Prince Ling was by her side.

Mu Qingyan went out alone and went to the school. It was already noon when she left the house. For some reason, her heart kept beating fast along the way and she couldn't calm down at all.

When she entered the school and saw that the fire was not serious and there were no casualties, she felt relieved.

"Where's Mr. Zhang? Why didn't I see him today?"

Yue Ban was shocked to realize that he seemed to have been out for a long time and had not returned. "He heard some rumors yesterday and came back, and was anxious to go to the Duke's Mansion to look for someone, but was stopped by my subordinates. This morning, he said he had a headache and wanted to go out to see a doctor. My subordinates saw that he looked really bad, so they did not stop him, but after he went out, he never came back..."

Another teacher came over and said, "He usually has a very regular schedule. Even if he has to go out for something, he won't be away for so long. He has two classes today, and I taught them for him. He never behaved like this before. Could something have happened?"

Mu Qingyan was just thinking of something when she was interrupted by a shout from outside, "Miss, Miss! Something bad has happened!"
