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

"In compliance with the Will of Heaven, the Emperor of Da'an Jianning promulgates an edict: I have heard that the daughter of Duke Fuguo, Mu Qingyan, is virtuous, intelligent, and outstanding in appearance. The Empress Dowager and I are very pleased to hear this. Now that Prince Ling Junye has passed the age of twenty, it is time to marry, and we should choose a virtuous woman to be his match. Mu Qingyan, who is still waiting to be married, and Prince Ling Junye are a perfect match. In accordance with the Empress Dowager's benevolent order, you will be betrothed to Prince Ling as his principal wife. All the ceremonies will be handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Observatory, and a good date will be chosen for the wedding. This announcement will be made for everyone at home and abroad. I hereby decree -"

Mu Qingyan was slow to respond.

The eunuch was impatient, "Ms. Mu, please accept the order..."

Mu Qingyan could only stretch out her hands and raise them above her head, "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, I accept your order and thank you for your grace!"

After receiving the decree and standing up, she looked back at Yuzhan, who took out the purse from her sleeve pocket very tactfully and placed it in the palm of the eunuch who announced the decree, "My daughter would like to invite you to have tea, thank you very much..."

The eunuch weighed the purse in his hand and raised his eyebrows in satisfaction, "Okay, okay..."

After the eunuchs left, Lan circled around her, her eyes full of mockery and pride, "With your status, it is a blessing to be able to be married by the Queen Mother. But you must remember that this blessing is given to you by me! In the future, if you marry someone high up, you must be careful at every step, so as not to fall to pieces..."

Mu Qingyan didn't say anything, but when Lan walked behind her with her back to her, she stretched out her foot and kicked her hard in the butt.

Lan screamed and fell forward, her nose hitting the bluestone slab, which immediately scratched a layer of skin, and blood oozed out.

"lady……"

"Mother……"

Lan covered her nose and climbed up, tears streaming down her face from the pain, "You——"

Mu Qingyan sneered, "I want to see who is the one who was smashed to pieces! Humph!"

Mu Yingyu felt that she was caught in a dilemma. One was her mother, and the other was her sister who was not well-received in the mansion but was the only one who would listen to her seriously. She didn't know which side she should stand on...

It was obviously my mother who instigated the Queen Mother's arrangement of the marriage.

She wanted Mu Qingyan to die tragically before her wedding like those women before her...

After asking a doctor to treat her injuries, Mu Yingyu wandered around in the backyard and unknowingly ended up in Taoyuan.

But after standing at the door for a long time, she didn't go in.

Until Yuzhan came out with a basin of water, "Third Miss, why are you here? The eldest lady is in the room, do you want to come in..."

Mu Yingyu originally wanted to leave, but for some unknown reason, she stepped into the gate of Taoyuan.

"Are you here to call me to task?" Mu Qingyan sat on the couch, with the bright yellow imperial edict lying quietly beside her.

She had a lot of questions she wanted to ask Mu Qingyan, but when she saw the imperial edict, she suddenly felt that she couldn't ask them. "You, you really want to marry Prince Ling?"

"I'm going to disobey the order and run away, but you will be beheaded. Are you afraid?"

The little girl who always chirps like a sparrow is now as silent as a lamb. She lowered her head and sat down beside him. As soon as she sat down, she leaned her head on Mu Qingyan's shoulder, "Big sister..."

Mu Qingyan was already confused by her action. She still called her Big Sister? Did she take the wrong medicine? Didn't she call her by her full name before?

"Do you hate my mother? When I was a child, there were many old people in the mansion. I heard them gossiping secretly, saying that your mother was drugged by my mother, which is why she died of hemorrhage after giving birth to you..."

"Later, the elderly people who knew about the incident died one after another. Some of them jumped into the well, some hanged themselves, or some ate arsenic... I saw it all. It was Aunt Zhang who pushed the people into the well... After she pushed the people in, she threw rocks in. At first, you could hear screams, but later even the screams stopped..."

The more Mu Yingyu spoke, the more her body shook.

Finally, he curled up into a ball, his little face turning pale.

Although Mu Qingyan had suspected the cause of death of the original owner's mother, it was still hard for her to accept the reason when she suddenly learned it.

She spoke with difficulty in her throat, "If you tell me all this, you and I will become enemies. Aren't you afraid that I will take revenge on your mother and kill you too?"

Mu Yingyu's face was pale and her eyes were red like a rabbit's.

"I don't know. Although I often bullied you with my cousin before, I never thought of killing you... My mother has three children. My elder brother is the prince's companion, and my elder sister is a second-rank female official. I am the only one who has accomplished nothing. I am stupid and useless. She never cares about me. Only you will listen to me seriously..."

Yes, in the original owner’s faint memory, after she fell into the water, everyone on the shore was laughing, and no one went into the water to save her.

It was not until Mu Yingyu also jumped down and tightly grasped the original owner's hand that the people who rescued her were forced to pull the two of them ashore.

"Go back first, have a good sleep, and don't think about anything."

Hearing that Mu Qingyan was chasing her away, Mu Yingyu stood up with a look of loss on her face, her hands hanging in front of her, twisting her handkerchief, and lowering her head, "Big sister, can I still come to play with you in the future..."

"Sure, don't you still want to learn Kung Fu from me?"

The frustrated and cautious person's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he nodded happily, "Yeah!"

After the person left, Mu Qingyan's expression turned cold.

It turns out that the person who had a mortal feud with the original owner was not only Lan Hui, but also her good aunt!

Great, we can kill two birds with one stone!

She looked at the imperial edict with a cold light in her eyes. "Lan family, oh Lan family, if you knew that Prince Ling would be able to be so vigorous and powerful in the future, you would probably regret it so much, right?"

The imperial decree granting marriage arrived at the Duke's Mansion and Prince Ling's Mansion.

Prince Ling had just been detoxified, and his face looked really ugly due to excessive blood loss.

The eunuch who announced the imperial edict wished he could finish reading it immediately and let him get up and lie down. If Prince Ling died before the imperial edict was finished reading, he would be held responsible.

"Your Highness, I have finished reading the imperial edict. Please get up and lie down. I have to go back to the palace to report, so I will not disturb your rest..."

Ah Shu helped Prince Ling back to his room and lay down, with a worried look on his face, "Prince, the wife of Duke Fuguo entered the palace today. The imperial decree granting marriage came so suddenly, I'm afraid it has something to do with her..."

Prince Ling leaned against the soft pillow, feeling very depressed. "Fortunately, I sent a letter to my brother the day before yesterday, and he knows the whole story. I was just afraid that she would think that I did it on purpose and get angry with me..."

Ah Shu thought to himself, you are not even afraid of His Majesty, so why are you afraid of Miss Mu...

"The eldest lady is very smart. She will understand the intricacies of this matter after a little consideration and will not make things difficult for the prince."
