"You disgraceful thing, get out of here!" Mu Xun glared at Mu Hongliao fiercely and shouted in a low voice.

Mu Hongliao has a stubborn personality and was raised by Jiang since she was a child. Not only did she not learn the rules well, but she was also taught to be fearless.

Even at this point, she still didn't understand why King Cheng was angry? Why did her father blame her?

She looked at Mu Xun with an innocent face and asked aggrievedly: "Why did my father ask his daughter to get out? My sisters are all here, why can't my daughter?"

Liu lowered her head and gently tugged at Mu Hongliao's dress, signaling her to stop talking.

She rarely appeared on such occasions. As the concubine of the fourth lady of the Mu family, she had no sense of presence in this mansion, even less than the confidants around Mu Xun. If Jiang had not asked her to come today, she would probably still be hiding in the yard.

Mu Hongliao didn't understand what Liu meant at all. She turned her head and glanced at Liu with disgust, saying with great disdain: "Auntie, why are you pulling my clothes? Can you afford to pay for it if it's damaged? I prepared this specially for meeting His Royal Highness King Cheng!"

Mu Xun's old face was as gloomy as dead water. He wished he could throw Mu Hongliao out immediately, but because King Cheng was there, he had to suppress his anger and winked at Jiang.

Mu Baiying knew that Mu Hongliao was about to do something bad, so she should get rid of Mu Hongliao first. So she turned around and said to Liu with a smile: "Aunt, the fourth sister has gone insane and is talking nonsense. Why don't you take her back and take good care of her."

After hearing what Mu Baiying said, Liu immediately agreed. She wanted to escape from this situation immediately. "The eldest lady is right. I will take the fourth lady back right away!"

After saying this, Liu pulled Mu Hongliao and tried to walk out.

Mu Hongliao didn't understand what was going on. When she heard Mu Baiying say that she was going crazy, she immediately became angry and yelled at Mu Baiying, "Big sister, how could you curse me? You are the one who went crazy."

Liu was short in stature, and when Mu Hongliao started to act recklessly, she had no way to deal with her at all. During the struggle, she accidentally made her fall to the ground.

"Nonsense! You're getting more and more outrageous. What are you doing? Hurry up and help Aunt and Fourth Miss back!" Jiang was so angry that her lungs were about to explode, but she still had to pretend to be a good wife and mother because she was the mistress of the family.

They said she was helped down, but in fact she was dragged down by several maids!

"In my opinion, the things that the fourth young lady is wearing are only the empresses and princesses in the palace are qualified to wear. Prime Minister Mu, please talk to me, how did these things end up on the fourth young lady? Especially the golden-winged phoenix hairpin, which is the empress dowager's favorite!" Li Shanglu asked coldly, folding his hands.

Mu Baiying was full of suspicion. These were clearly given to Mu Lanfeng, so how did they fall into the hands of Mu Hongliao, a fool? She even took the brocade and made it into clothes. The most annoying thing was that it was the latest style at the time.

She couldn't help but look back at Mu Lanfeng, only to see Mu Lanfeng standing there with a dazed expression, as if she was just brought in to make up the numbers.

Mu Xun was so frightened that his face turned pale. If he was to be held responsible, it would be considered disrespect, a serious crime that could cost him his life. Even worse, if he was held responsible, his entire family would be implicated!

He couldn't let his entire family be harmed just because of Mu Hongliao.

King Cheng didn't say anything before this. He only attacked after he got rid of Mu Hongliao, which means there was still room for maneuver.

King Cheng wanted to do him a favor on purpose, and now all he had to do was to make up a plausible excuse to get away with it.

Thinking of this, he knelt down in front of Li Shanglu. Seeing this, everyone knelt down as well.

No matter what, you still have to have the attitude of admitting your mistakes!

"Your Highness, my wife is the niece of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was grateful for my wife's filial piety, so she gave her that hairpin as a commemoration. I think Hong Liao thought it was pretty, so she secretly took it and wore it." Mu Xun explained tremblingly.

"Since the fourth girl stole it herself, you must keep it well in the future. Think about it, just look at it, and don't take it out!" It was obvious that Li Shanglu intended to let her go.

If nothing unexpected happens, this marriage must still take place, so as not to embarrass Mu Xun.

"Yes, yes! We will definitely keep it well, we will definitely keep it well!" Mu Xun and Jiang Shi hurriedly apologized with a smile.

Li Shanglu glanced at the people kneeling down and leaned over to help Mu Xun up, "Prime Minister Mu, please get up quickly. Everyone, please get up quickly!"

Mu Xun was flattered and quickly invited Li Shanglu to take a seat, and everyone else followed suit.

Is this the end of the show?

Didn’t King Jinduan see it?

This water is really good!

Mu Lanfeng covered her face and smiled, with a hint of evil in her eyes.

It’s such a good deal for them. The show needs to continue to be interesting!

After getting rid of Mu Hongliao, there is still Mu Lanxue. She is not as easy to deal with as Mu Hongliao. At least she still has brains!

Jiang's wishful thinking was only half right. These people could set off Mu Baiying, but they could also cause trouble for her. The mess alone was enough for her to clean up.

Although Li Shanglu was a little angry, at least the matter was over. He held up the teacup with a straight face, tasted it, and praised, "Good tea. I have been eyeing the young lady for a long time. If Prime Minister Mu agrees today, I will ask my father to grant the marriage as soon as I return, okay?"

"I am so lucky to have the love of His Royal Highness King Cheng. Everything is up to His Royal Highness!" Mu Xun replied with an apologetic smile.

Mu Baiying was not very happy. Ever since Jiang brainwashed her, she had been dreaming of becoming the future queen. Although Prince Cheng was not the most favored, he was the easiest prince to control.

"Big sister, you are still a girl in the boudoir. You should be more reserved, otherwise you will reveal your true colors and King Cheng will not like you!" Mu Lanfeng reminded her with false kindness.

The sound was not loud, but it was loud enough for the people in front to hear clearly.

Mu Baiying's face immediately turned red with shame, tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked so pitiful that anyone would feel sorry for her.

"Big sister, please don't misunderstand me. I am just giving you a good reminder. As a family, we all prosper and suffer together. This concerns the reputation of the Mu family!" Mu Lanxue said seriously.

Her favorite thing to do is to make trouble for Jiang mother and daughter.

"Lan Xue, what are you talking about? Your elder sister is so angry with you. If she loses her composure in front of His Royal Highness Prince Cheng, then..." Aunt Xiao added fuel to the fire.

Mu Baiying cursed Aunt Xiao and her daughter thousands of times in her heart, but she had to pretend to accept it humbly on the surface. She wanted to suppress all the anger in her heart, and after she became a princess, she would settle accounts with them one by one.

"What my sister said is true. I will definitely keep it in mind!"

Mu Lanxue glanced at Mu Baiying and whispered, "The sisters in the Mu family have all reached marriageable age. Although my father has chosen my younger sister, we still have to see who our Prince Cheng likes!"

She doesn't like to become a king, but as long as she can step on Mu Baiying and make things difficult for her, she thinks it's not bad!

Mu Baiying was shocked.

Could it be that Mu Lanfeng also wanted to compete with her for the position of Princess Cheng?

"Second sister, please stop joking with me. His Royal Highness King Cheng has already set his sights on me. This is a fact that cannot be disputed. Sister, please don't waste your energy and bring shame upon yourself!"

"That may not be the case. Before you marry into Prince Cheng's Mansion, everything is still unknown. You'd better be careful! I'm not as easy to fool as Mu Hongliao!" Mu Lanxue said with a smile.

"You..." Mu Baiying was furious. "Now is not the time to argue with my sister. Just wait and see if you can do it!"

Mu Lanxue just smiled slightly. This was the result she wanted...
