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

"What do you want from me?" As soon as Mu Qingyan entered the study, she sat down on a chair beside her.

Seeing her disrespect for her elders, Duke Fuguo was furious, "Didn't anyone teach you the rules?"

Mu Qingyan turned her face away and said, "If you have nothing else to do, I will leave. If you want to play a loving father and filial son drama, I'm sorry, I don't have time."

"Rebellious girl! Do you still have me as your father in your eyes?" Duke Fuguo was so angry that he slammed the table and accidentally hit the teacup next to it. The teacup tilted and the tea spilled out. The teacup rolled to the ground and made a crisp sound when it broke.

"Where were you when I was starving and naked in that remote village? Where were you when I was bullied by your good step-wife? Now you want to act like a father to me, are you worthy? That cowardly and vulnerable Mu Qingyan has been pushed into the water by Lan Hui and others and drowned!"

The Duke Fuguo was so angry that his face turned red.

After a long while, he finally replied, "You should ask your good mother why I treated you like this!"

"Okay, let her come back to life, and I'll go ask right away!"

Although she had suspected that the original owner might not be the flesh and blood of Duke Fuguo, otherwise he would not treat his own child like this. Even if he didn't have much tenderness, he wouldn't be so heartless, right?

Duke Fuguo's words planted a seed of doubt in her.

The father and daughter parted unhappily again. Mu Qingyan returned to Taoyuan, had a simple meal, and locked herself in the room. Tomorrow she would use her internal energy to detoxify Prince Ling, so she had to regulate her breathing first, otherwise she would easily go crazy if she was not careful during the process. By then, not only would she not be able to save Prince Ling, but she would also lose her life.

After Yuzhan quietly cleaned up the dishes, she stayed at the door without leaving.

After Yulan left, she became the top maid in Taoyuan.

Moreover, her bond was in the girl's hands, so she no longer had to worry about being sold by the lady.

Mu Qingyan didn't know how long she had been meditating and regulating her breathing. When she stood up to stretch her muscles, there was no sound outside. Perhaps it was already late at night.

She opened the door and saw Yuzhan leaning against the door frame, asleep.

“A jade hairpin…”

“A jade hairpin…”

She patted Yuzhan's shoulder, and Yuzhan suddenly woke up and hit her head on the door. She cried out in pain and stood up quickly, "Miss, why are you up? Is there anything I can do for you?"

"It's cold at night, why don't you go back to your room and sleep?"

"I was afraid that the young lady would give instructions in the middle of the night... so I stayed here to guard..."

Mu Qingyan touched her face which still had some baby fat, "Silly girl, you don't have to keep watch in the future. You can go to sleep when I go to sleep. Even if I need to get up, you don't have to do anything. Go to sleep! Let's go to a good place tomorrow!"

She had to take the jade hairpin with her and go out to get to know the place and get familiar with the people there, otherwise if something really happened in the future, she would not have anyone to call for help.

In fact, the reason she saved Prince Ling was not because of any high-sounding excuse like a compassionate doctor, but because she really wanted to find a backer for herself.

Although she had great military power, in this era of imperial power, with nobles everywhere in Kyoto, anyone could come out and step on her. If she had no one to rely on, what good would it do to have great military power?

If the identity of the legitimate daughter of Duke Fuguo was useful, the original owner would not have lost her reputation and her life because of Lan Hui.

Therefore, she not only had to find a backer for herself, but also had to build up her own power. She didn't seek fame and success, she just wanted no one to bully her.

Although I am not used to the feudal system of this era, I cannot complain since I am already in it. The original owner is dead, and whether I can live a decent life in the future depends on myself.

Yuzhan is a loyal girl, and she has to bring her out well.

She couldn't use the carriage in the mansion, so she could only walk there on foot, and she didn't know how far it was.

She recited to herself as she walked out.

But as soon as I stepped out of the gate, I saw A Shu standing at the door waiting, and there was a relatively low-key carriage beside him.

"Hello, young lady. The prince has ordered his servants to pick you up." As soon as Ah Shu saw her coming out, he bowed hurriedly.

Mu Qingyan thought to herself, he still has a conscience!

After pulling Yu Zan onto the carriage, she took out the bottle of good stuff and looked at it. After confirming that it was still alive, she put it back. It had been hungry all night, but now it was still active!

As soon as the carriage left, the person who was watching inside the door hurried back to the backyard to report the news.

"Mother, why did you send someone to keep an eye on my elder sister?" When the surveillance person came to report the news, Mu Yingyu just walked in. Today, Lan was going to take her into the palace.

"What big sister? You only have one sister! That bitch doesn't deserve her!"

Mu Yingyu pursed her lips and said nothing, but her expression showed dissatisfaction.

Lan glanced at her, seeing nothing outstanding about her, and nodded in satisfaction, "You have reached the age to discuss marriage. If the Queen Mother can grant you a marriage, it will be the highest honor. You must fight for me and not embarrass your brother and sister! Do you hear me!"

"I know..." In her mother's eyes, she only brought shame to her older brothers and sisters.

They are children of the same mother, so why are there such big differences?

Every time she entered the palace, she was not allowed to wear brightly colored clothes, for fear that she would steal the limelight from her sister.

In fact, she was not as good-looking as her sister, and she had no talent, so her mother didn't have to worry about her at all. But since she was a child, her mother didn't allow her to excel in anything. Other noble ladies from aristocratic families, although they may not be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, they must know some of them, but her mother didn't allow her to learn them. Apart from knowing a few words, she really didn't know anything.

Even if I can marry into a good family in the future, who would want a woman who knows nothing to be the head of the family?

On the other hand, Sister Ruge is proficient in everything from playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and no one in the whole Kyoto can match her.

A mother can only have one outstanding daughter, and the other one is used as a foil. She uses her stupidity to foil the other daughter's intelligence.

With a nervous mood, he boarded the carriage to the palace.

At this time, Mu Qingyan had already arrived at Prince Ling's Mansion.

Prince Ling was waiting for her arrival in his bedroom.

Doctor Yan was very curious about what kind of woman could dare to boast that she could cure the poison in Prince Ling's body. At his age, he was proud of his medical skills, which were unmatched in the world. What kind of ability could a young girl who had just started out have?

"Your Majesty, Miss Mu is here..."

The two people in the room turned around at the same time.

After seeing the face clearly, Doctor Yan was stunned and even blurted out a name, "A Li..."

After Mu Qingyan came in, she bowed slightly to Prince Ling and then looked at the old man with white hair and beard, thinking that this man should be the doctor who had been prolonging Prince Ling's life. She leaned forward slightly and nodded as a greeting.
