Looking at the unfinished food on the table, Mu Xun had lost his appetite. His face was as cold as frost, and he said to Jiang coldly: "Let them leave!"

Jiang looked at Mu Xun guiltily and advised softly, "Master, at least eat something!"

Mu Xun had a gloomy face, trying his best to suppress his temper, and said lightly, "I'm full!"

People are already full, what else is there to say!

Jiang was too embarrassed to say anything after getting so frustrated. She controlled her emotions and waved to the servants to leave.

Mu Xun stood up, waved his sleeves and walked towards the throne in the main hall.

His face was as gloomy as ink. He sat on the armchair with eyes as sharp as cold light, staring straight at Wang Wei.

"Manager Wang, think carefully. If you confess before calling Lan Feng, there is still hope," Mu Xun said in a low voice, with a powerful presence. "If you lie and try to make trouble and frame her, you should know the consequences. I will not tolerate any dirty things in my house, let alone treacherous villains like you who act recklessly!"

Wang Wei was sweating profusely when he heard this. He suppressed his inner fear and trembling body, straightened his back and said with a stiff face: "Sir, everything I said is true. There is absolutely no falsehood. I swear to heaven that if I tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"

After saying that, he reached out to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, pretended to be calm, looked up at Mu Xun, and quickly lowered his head.

"Forget it, Mu Zhong, go and invite the fifth lady over!" Mu Xun said expressionlessly.

……

The door of Ziyunxuan was closed. Mu Zhong knocked on the door several times, but there was no response. He leaned against the door and listened, but there was no movement at all.

Just as he was thinking about going back to report to Mu Xun, the door opened. It was Mrs. Zhou who opened the door. Because she was old, she woke up early.

When Mrs. Zhou saw Mu Zhong, she greeted him with a smile, "Butler Mu, why are you here so early?"

Mu Zhong seldom comes to Ziyunxuan. Mrs. Zhou knows that no one comes for no reason, so his coming must be for no good reason!

"Where is the fifth lady? The master wants her to come over!" Mu Zhong was quite kind. He never acted arrogantly or bullied servants of lower rank than him.

"I wonder what the master wants to see the fifth young lady about?" Mrs. Zhou asked carefully.

"I don't know! We servants should know what not to ask others, so as not to get into trouble. You should tell the fifth girl to be careful, as those who come have bad intentions!" Mu Zhong reminded with a serious face.

Mrs. Zhou was shocked and knew that it was definitely not a good thing. She replied, "Yes, thank you for the reminder, Butler Mu!"

Mu Zhong shook his head and left helplessly.

Let Mu Zhong go and invite Mu Lanfeng. Mu Xun has his own plans. Mu Zhong is a smart man, how could he not understand his master's thoughts!

Half an hour later, Mu Lanfeng appeared in the main hall of the Mu Mansion.

In the main hall, everyone was silent, each with their own thoughts.

Mu Xun and Jiang sat in the main seats in the main hall. Mu Baiying came over at some point and stood beside Jiang. A group of maids and old women stood behind her. Wang Wei stood with his head down in the main hall next to Jiang.

Mu Lanfeng was wearing a lavender brocade cloak with a circle of fine and soft white fox fur on the collar. The fur made her face look even more delicate. Under the cloak was a lilac-colored padded jacket.

She walked up to Mu Xun and Jiang, bowed slightly, and said, "Lan Feng greets father and mother."

Her expression was calm and natural, her eyes were clear and bright, and she had the demeanor of a daughter of a wealthy family.

Mu Xun nodded slightly, changing his previous gloomy expression, and said in a gentle voice: "Lan Feng, no need to be polite!"

When Mu Lanfeng stood up, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle and generous, and his manners were elegant and decent.

Jiang was feeling upset. She didn't know why Mu Xun suddenly changed his attitude towards Mu Lanfeng, which caught her off guard.

Jiang's face was gloomy. She stared at Mu Lanfeng and asked arrogantly, "You bold girl, who are you? Why are you pretending to be Lan? Tell me what conspiracy you have?"

Mu Baiying pressed Jiang's shoulder and tried her best to persuade her not to act too hastily!

Mu Lanfeng raised her head, chin slightly raised, eyes as sharp as torches, and refuted fearlessly: "Mother, do you have any evidence for your groundless accusations? Lanfeng is upright and has a clean background. How can you slander me at will!"

Before Jiang could speak, Mu Xun spoke first: "Do you recognize the person standing below?"

Mu Lanfeng only took a glance and said, "Of course I recognize him. He's an old acquaintance, Manager Wang from Tianyuan Manor!"

Wang Wei subconsciously raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Mu Lanfeng. When he saw this, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

How can a dead person come back to life?

He was clearly buried in a mass grave with two of his men. Even if he was not completely dead, how could a child of ten years old survive in such an environment?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Wang Wei was muttering to himself: At this point, even if she is Mu Lanfeng, she cannot admit it. What he has to do now is to insist that she is a fake!

"Manager Wang, can you see clearly, is she the Fifth Miss?" Jiang asked in a fake tone.

"This person is not the Fifth Miss!" Wang Wei raised his head and looked at Jiang who was sitting above him, not daring to meet Mu Lanfeng's eyes!

"You are such an ignorant girl, what are your intentions? Tell the truth!" Jiang scolded harshly without allowing Mu Lanfeng to argue.

Mu Lanfeng sneered, looking at the defeated Jiang in the main seat, without the slightest fear in her eyes. She said slowly, "Why is mother so impatient? You should give me a chance to defend myself!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Mu Xun who was full of worry and asked, "Father, isn't that right?"

Mu Xun frowned, as if he was weighing something. After a moment of silence, he turned to look at Jiang and said in a low voice, "Madam, don't worry, just listen to what she says!"

Jiang's face became even uglier when she heard this, but she couldn't say anything more. She knew that this matter couldn't be rushed. "Let me hear how you refute it."

Mu Lanfeng turned and walked towards Wang Wei, saying calmly: "I think Manager Wang is old and his memory is not very good. Do you want me to help you recall what happened in Tianyuan Manor?"

"Fifth sister, if you want to defend yourself, just do so. Why are you threatening Manager Wang like this?" Mu Baiying was busy helping Wang Wei out of the predicament.

She had seen how powerful Mu Lanfeng was. She was very wary of him because of his clever words and eloquence, let alone a manager with poor psychological quality.

"Big sister, you're anxious! A man of integrity is not afraid of his own shadow. If Manager Wang has not done anything shameful, would he be afraid of my intimidation?" Mu Lanfeng smiled and looked at Jiang's mother and daughter.

"Why are you looking at me and my mother? Is there anything wrong with what I said? With your eloquent mouth, you can even bring the dead back to life!" Mu Baiying was a little anxious.

She had been a little impatient lately, so it would have been fine if she hadn't made any excuses, but this excuse seemed deliberately targeted.
