The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?
Chapter 115 Mu Weian’s Little Thoughts
The Marquis of Chang'an's wife connected all these events and spoke to him, "Master, do you think there's any connection between these things? Ying'er's hair was shaved by a thief last night, and few people in our mansion knew about it. How did it spread so quickly outside?"
Shao Shuying almost went crazy after hearing this. She screamed, "It was Mu Xiyue, it must be Mu Xiyue, Father. It must have been Mu Xiyue who stole the treasures in our house. She is a witch."
The Marquis of Chang'an was no fool. He calmed down and thought carefully, realizing there must be something he didn't know. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Ying'er, tell me honestly, were you responsible for the rumors about Mu Xiyue? Don't try to lie to me. If you did anything, the people around you must know about it. Don't let me torture everyone around you."
Shao Shuying didn't dare to hide it any longer and told him how she had fueled the rumors. "Father, I just can't stand that Mu Xiyue. How can a country bitch be the Princess of Jin?"
Marquis Chang'an raised his hand and slapped her in the face, "Rebellious girl, who Princess Jin is has nothing to do with you. No matter how unbearable Mu Xiyue is, it was the Emperor who granted her marriage. How can you criticize the future princess?"
What else could Marquis Chang'an not understand? Prince Jin must have discovered what this rebellious girl had done. The theft from the storehouse was likely Prince Jin's doing. How many people in this world could pull it off without leaving a trace? Then think about how the Second and Third Princes had been dragged to hell by Prince Jin. Marquis Chang'an was so eager to strangle his daughter to death that he couldn't have offended anyone else but Prince Jin.
Mu Xiyue: Let me show you my strength.
Rumors were spreading in Shangjing City, and the three protagonists at the center of the rumors became the focus of people's attention and discussion after dinner.
Before the rumors spread, Ji Lifan was informed by someone from Prince Jin's Mansion, and he was portrayed as a victim. He was also praised by the people as the most handsome man in the capital, and he became flattered. Although it was not a very good reputation, it was at least no longer a bad one.
So Prince Ji went out to show off. When someone asked him about what happened at the flower-viewing banquet, he admitted that it was Miss Mu who admired him. He had no feelings for Miss Mu, but he did not expect that Miss Mu would drug him and send her maid to his bed.
Ji Lifan only knew the rumor about Mu Xiyu, but he didn't expect to hear in the restaurant that the second daughter of the Marquis of Chang'an was deeply in love with him, and even wanted to become a nun to resist her family's intention to marry her to the prince.
Ji Lifan was stunned. Everyone in the capital knew that he was a womanizer, a lover of brothels, and a man who was not serious about his job. No noblewoman had ever fallen in love with him before, but he had never expected this Second Miss Shao to be so deeply in love with him. However, despite his idleness, Ji Shizi was still sane. He knew that Shao Shuying wasn't a good person at heart, so while he was touched, he secretly made up his mind: even if the Marquis of Chang'an came to him to ask for her, he would never marry such a woman.
After being sold to a brothel, Mu Xiyu's maid, Qiulan, resented Liu Mei'er and Mu Xiyu. Qifeng had her redeemed and given her fifty taels of silver, offering her a chance at a new life. Qiulan then confirmed the rumors, exaggerating them and claiming that Mu Xiyu had connections with many of the palace's guards. She also revealed that Marquis Anyuan and his wife had repeatedly harmed the eldest daughter, forcing her to sever ties with the Mu family.
Mu Xiyu rarely went out since she was divorced by Ji Lifan. When the rumors outside spread back to Anyuan Hou's Mansion, she smashed all the decorations in the room and even beat to death a maid who told her the rumors.
Mu Wei'an stood at the door of Mu Xiyu's room, looking at the mess on the floor. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Second sister, I will leave the management of the household to you. You should know how difficult it is for our Anyuan Marquisate right now. Since my father passed away, the shop in the Marquisate has become less profitable, and the expenses of the mansion are huge. Can you change your habit of smashing things at the slightest provocation?"
Mu Xiyu's eyes were red. "An'er, is it possible that you can't tolerate me anymore? The shop isn't profitable because the slaves are bullying the owner. You are the heir of a marquisate, and you will inherit the title in less than three years. Why are you mad at me instead of punishing the evil slaves?"
Mu Weian felt that his sister was becoming more and more ignorant. He was too lazy to argue with her anymore. Both his father and mother were gone. He was afraid that Aunt Xu would take advantage of them since they were young and ignorant, so he handed the household affairs to his sister. Unexpectedly, she was not as capable as Aunt Xu.
Mu Weian was so angry that he flicked his sleeves and left the yard. After thinking for a while, he turned to the old lady's yard. Since Mu Fengnian and Liu Mei'er passed away one after another, the old lady seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and her spirits were not very good.
In the old lady's room, she looked at her eldest grandson sitting below her and sighed, "An'er, it's hard for you, at such a young age, to support such a large mansion. Alas, grandmother told you at the beginning that your concubine Xu still has some skills and will not be too bad at managing the household. Yu'er has undergone such hardships and her character has changed greatly. It is not appropriate for her to be in charge of the household."
Mu Weian also regretted it. He had wanted to take control of the Marquis' Mansion in his own hands, but he never expected that his second sister was a hopeless person.
"Grandma, I was mistaken before. Now it's not right to ask my second sister to hand over the household chores to Concubine Xu. I'm thinking, Grandma, could you help me out a little? I'll hand over the household chores to you first. You're old and shouldn't work too hard, so I can let Concubine Xu take care of it. This way, I won't offend my second sister."
If the old lady still had something to understand, she would hand it over to Concubine Xu again. Mu Weian couldn't save face and was worried, but with Concubine Xu under the old lady's pressure, he didn't dare to do anything.
The old lady didn't respond, but instead asked, "Even though I don't go out, I know all the rumors outside. An'er, tell me honestly, were you responsible for those rumors about Mu Xiyue?"
Mu Weian shook his head. "No, it was Second Sister who sent the message. But I knew about it at first. I thought this little fight would help Second Sister vent her anger and prevent her from becoming depressed and sick. So I didn't stop it. Who could have imagined it would develop like this later?"
The subsequent rumors about Mu Xiyu directly trampled the reputation of Anyuan Hou Mansion into the ground. If it is allowed to continue, it will probably be difficult for him to get married in the future.
The old lady was very disappointed. "Grandmother has long told you not to provoke Mu Xiyue. With that girl's temper, it's impossible for you to make peace with her again. For the sake of the Marquis' Mansion and your future, even if you can't make peace with her, you must never offend her again."
Mu Weian was a little sad. He felt that it was too difficult for him to support the family at the age of fifteen, especially since he had a sister who was a worry.
"What does the grandmother think her grandson should do?"
The old lady sighed again, "Send your second sister back to the farm and raise her. Tell someone to keep an eye on her. Don't let her leave the farm, and don't let anyone on the farm do anything for her. If you disobey this order, you will be beaten to death."
After all, she is his biological sister, so Mu Weian still feels a little reluctant, but he knows that what his grandmother said is the best solution at the moment.
