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

"What? Are you worried about me?" He had just hurriedly followed her into Qin Garden and happened to hear her say, he is your nephew-in-law...

Somehow, this originally empty heart seemed to be filled with something.

Mu Qingyan glared at him and said, "I'm not worried about you. I'm worried that if you die, I'll have to be buried with you!"

Prince Ling sneered, "You have no conscience!"

He glanced behind him, and soon a man came out from the corner. He clasped his fists and saluted Mu Qingyan, "I am Ah Shang, nice to meet you, young lady."

Ah Shu, a grape vine...

Suddenly, a line of lyrics popped up in my mind...

"If I need to find you in the future, I will ask Ah Shang to pick you up and recognize your face."

"I know. You should be careful. I don't know how serious this case is, but I'm afraid it will involve many people. Now that your aunt is in Prince Ling's mansion, you can't just stay out of it. I'm the one who implicated you. I owe you a favor."

Prince Ling seemed a little unhappy. "You and I are engaged couple. Although we are not officially married, our status is determined. Do you have to make it so clear with me?" He didn't know where his dissatisfaction came from, but deep down, he just didn't like her being polite to him everywhere.

Mu Qingyan was helpless. "Okay, whatever you say is what I will do. My aunt is in the palace, so I'll leave her to you. When Yuzhan comes back with the medicine, I'll watch my aunt drink it and then go back."

Yuzhan knew that the illness would worsen, so she didn't dare delay for a moment.

He hurried out to get the medicine and then returned to the palace. Cuihe and Cuiping prepared the ingredients for boiling the medicine, lit the charcoal fire, and then went to wait at the door.

But no matter how anxious you are, the medicine still needs to be simmered on low heat for half an hour before it can take effect.

By the time the medicine was ready and sent to Madam Yuan's room, it was already dark.

Madam Yuan slept for nearly two hours, and her mental and physical strength had recovered a little. Yuan Ying, who had rested well, also came over to serve her.

After watching her finish drinking the medicine, Mu Qingyan gave her a few instructions and left with the jade hairpin.

Prince Ling sent other people to escort him, and also sent secret guards to accompany him, just in case.

"The defense of the mansion needs to be strengthened. We must not let anyone take advantage of the opportunity. We will set out for Huang County tonight. When we return from suppressing the bandits, we may have new gains." Prince Ling held a jade pendant in his hand, a jade pendant that belonged to the princes of their generation.

Ah Shang agreed to all of them, "My Lord, why didn't you tell the young lady that you were going to fight the bandits?"

Prince Ling packed up the evidence brought by Madam Yuan and her daughter and put it into a secret compartment, then locked it and disappeared into thin air.

"It's just a bandit suppression. No need to make a fuss. Let's go."

Of course, Ah Shu and Ah Shang were not the only ones around him, but on weekdays, they were the only two who walked in front of people the most.

The secret guards are to keep their existence secret so that the enemy will not know your strength. If you display all your strength in front of others, then you will be doomed.

Madam Yuan didn't know that the owner of the mansion had left. In fact, no one knew about it except the secret guards in the mansion.

His men are also on duty at the city gate tonight, so no one will know that he has left the capital.

The entourage had already gone out in batches during the day to prepare. Prince Ling went there just to find an answer, an answer that had been lingering in his mind for a long time.

At the Duke Fuguo's Mansion, Mu Qingyan was stopped outside the gate again.

However, this time, there was one more person from the Lan family present.

The couple stood on the steps, looking down on people with an overbearing attitude.

It was dark and the alley was silent except for the occasional barking of dogs.

A gust of wind blew, and the lanterns in front of the mansion gate were swaying left and right. The candlelight inside flickered, and it seemed that it was about to go out, but the flame jumped up again in an instant.

"As a girl from the boudoir, you dare to obstruct the investigation of the Jingzhao Prefecture! How many heads do you have? Not only that, but you often stay out and don't come home at night! Kneel down in front of me!"

Mu Qingyan was unmoved and looked at Lan. "Madam, if you are still worried about your surname Lan, why don't you ask to leave the family and go back to be the eldest daughter of your Mingyuan Marquis's mansion!"

"You, master, look at her..." Lan looked as if she was about to cry, which made Mu Qingyan feel nauseous.

"You are so presumptuous! You disrespect your stepmother and don't even take me, your father, seriously! How could I, Mu Sinian, give birth to a daughter as disobedient as you! Someone, come here! Mu Qingyan is interfering with official duties. Tie her up and send her to Jingzhao Prefecture! Let the prefect decide her fate!"

The servants were ready to go forward and arrest the man.

Mu Qingyan sneered, "Did you think it over, Lord and Madam? I can't guarantee what they will say when I enter Jingzhao Mansion. By then, not only the Duke's Mansion, the Mingyuan Marquis' Mansion, the Xiangning Marquis' Mansion, but even your reputation as the pride of heaven will be gone..."

"How dare you threaten me!"

"My Lord, it's too serious, not a threat. Anyway, I won't be staying in this house for many days. If we can live in peace, I don't want to make your life uneasy. But if I am wronged, I will drag everyone down with me. If I don't live well, no one else will live well! So, you'd better not mess with me!"

He looked at the couple standing at the door and the group of servants behind them.

"If you don't want me here, I'll find another place to stay! I just don't know if the gossip about the Duke's Mansion abusing the daughter will affect your career tomorrow? Oh, no! You are already a duke, and your career has come to an end! If you want to go higher, you have to rebel--"

"Rebellious girl! Shut up!"

Mu Sinian's heart trembled when he heard this, and he regretted very much that he had stopped her here tonight and took advantage of the situation!

"If you let me in, I'll shut up. If you don't let me in, I'll take a loud speaker and sing all over the street tomorrow. Have you heard of a saying? Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Fame and fortune are what you people care about most, and you can't afford to lose! But I have nothing, but I can afford to lose! Do you dare to bet?"

Seeing Duke Fuguo's face flushed with anger, Lan thought to herself that this damn girl was really reckless! Just by talking like that, she could scare someone to death!

Can the word "rebellion" be mentioned so casually? It doesn't matter if she has lived long enough! Is she going to cause everyone in the mansion to be buried with her?

The farce at the door eventually came to an end, and Mu Qingyan successfully entered the gate and returned to Taoyuan.

Yuzhan helped her wash and comb her hair, but she hesitated and didn't leave.

"Girl, what do you want to say?"

Yuzhan then spoke hesitantly, "Miss, you are doing very well now... But after all, you still have to live in the mansion, and your future marriage will inevitably be arranged by the mansion. If things get too awkward, you will be the one who suffers..."

Mu Qingyan pinched the two lumps of flesh on her face, "Silly Yuzhan, even if I accept everything, I won't necessarily have a good life. What's wrong with this? They are ruthless, so I am ungrateful. If someone hits me, I will kick him twice. It's a matter of reciprocity. We are all human beings, and I don't owe anyone anything. Why am I always the one who gets beaten?"
