Shen Shuangyue, Mo Linqing and the fifth abstinent prince all picked up their teacups and took a sip to hide the smiles on their lips.

General Murong held the teacup tightly in his hand, his face ashen.

He knew that his second son was unreliable, but he didn't expect that he was also interested in the county lady.

He watched countless operas and mocked the emperor and the prime minister in his heart many times, but he never expected that the stage would be set up in his own home.

Murong Ying's expression cracked for a moment when she saw her father in the main hall.

He pretended to be calm and put his hands on his buttons, but when he saw Mo Linqing and the fifth prince, he put his hands down again.

He said calmly, "Father is well, the Fifth Prince is well, and the County Lady is well."

General Murong noticed his son's actions and his expression darkened. He couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you cold wearing so little?"

"Thank you for your concern, Dad. I'm strong and healthy, so I'm not cold." As he said this, he rolled up his sleeves and showed off his muscles.

Shen Shuangyue raised her eyebrows slightly and her eyes fell on her biceps.

Because he wanted to ask Murong Ying for help with something, he spoke up to help him out: "Second Master Murong, I came here today to ask for a favor."

"It's rare that Shuangyue comes to me for something." Murong Ying walked naturally to Shuangyue's side, kicked Mo Linqing and the stool aside with his foot, and moved a chair to sit next to Shuangyue.

General Murong was so angry that he slammed the teacup on the table and shouted angrily: "Murong Ying, don't be rude."

"General Murong, I don't mind. The second young master has something to ask the county lady, so he should sit next to the county lady." Mo Linqing had to rescue Murong Ying. After all, he came to visit for Mo Linming.

General Murong's anger was fueled even more. Mo Linqing must be trying to drag his son into this!

Boys and girls at the age of seven sit at different seats, so how can it be normal for them to sit next to each other?

The abstinent Fifth Prince glanced at Mo Linqing, who had no fighting power, and slowly said, "General, calm down. I got the best Da Hong Pao yesterday. I will give it to you to try tomorrow."

General Murong was silent, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

He absolutely would not admit that Dahongpao was more important than his son, but the Fifth Prince had already spoken to try to mediate, so he had to endure it even if he didn't want to.

What's more, he really shouldn't scold his own bastard in front of outsiders.

The atmosphere became harmonious, and Shen Shuangyue stated her purpose: "Murong Ying, I came here today to ask you to persuade your junior brother to perform a play with us. The price is negotiable."

"Shuangyue, my junior brother won't come out easily." Murong Ying secretly hooked her little finger with Shuangyue's finger under the table, "But I have a way to make him agree, the condition is..."

He glanced at his father guiltily, "I also want to live in the County Lord's Mansion. How can you live with only Mo Linqing protecting you? Besides, it would be inconvenient for the Fifth Prince to buy things for you. I have a way to get in and out through the main gate without damaging your reputation."

The abstinent Fifth Prince frowned slightly, "How did you find out what happened in the mansion?"

Murong Ying did not hide it: "Of course you had an extra ear in the study last night. I said that the guards in the mansion are not good enough. Even your secret guards are just decorations in front of me."

Mo Linqing: "Then how do you convince your junior brother?"

"I originally took this position just to get closer to Shimotsuki, so it's time to give it back to him."

In other words, it means exchanging the position of leader of the Killer Alliance for cooperation with Dark Night.

Shen Shuangyue felt complicated for a moment. If this happened, Anye would return to the position of leader and the plot would be back on track.

She took a sip of tea, calmed down, and then pinched Murong Ying's fingertips, "As long as your father agrees, I have no objection. Anyway, the fifth courtyard is empty."

"Murong Ying, do you think I can agree to this?" General Murong almost blurted out these words through his teeth.

Murong Ying suddenly grasped Shuangyue's hand, raised it to her lips and kissed it, "Father, you don't know, I've been Shuangyue's for a long time. We once lived under the same roof for seven days and seven nights."

Shen Shuangyue: “…” He is indeed a cross-dressing man with a rebellious nature.

General Murong took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. "If that's the case, our General's Mansion is not irresponsible. We will send a matchmaker to visit on a chosen day."

The abstinent Fifth Prince's expression turned cold. "General Murong, you have to be a first come first served person. I once lived with Shuangyue in the palace for several months."

General Murong was shocked: "The Emperor actually allowed you to do this!"

He looked at Shen Shuangyue again, his lips opened and closed again, and finally he sighed, "County Lady, you are really not afraid of what people say!"

Shen Shuangyue's impression of General Murong instantly improved a little.

He didn't directly accuse her of seduction, but instead took a considerate approach for her.

She glared at Murong Ying and said, "Jia Hua, aren't you going to tell your father about this?

I think your father cares about you a lot. Even though he was angry for a long time, he didn't force you to do anything."

Murong Ying was silent for a moment, "Father, I was actually seriously injured once, and Shuangyue saved my life, so I wanted to protect Shuangyue.

During those days, I had a lot of contact with several princes and the three brothers of the Mo family, and I realized that Shuangyue was the only one who could change their fate of death. They probably came to ask me for help for this matter.

You can report this to the Emperor. I believe the Emperor will agree to let me hide my identity and enter the County Lady's Mansion.

Currently, the County Lord's Mansion has four princes and the three Mo brothers living there, so one more of me wouldn't be too much. Furthermore, there are many secret passages under the County Lord's Mansion that lead to various places. This would not only protect Shuang Yue's reputation, but also save some face for the Emperor."

He still chose not to tell his father about his fate, for he was afraid that his father would go to war on his behalf.

Shen Shuangyue guessed Murong Ying's thoughts and simply suggested, "This matter is indeed too sudden. Why don't you give General Murong a few more days to think about it?"

General Murong nodded, a flash of doubt in his eyes.

At this time, the doorman came hurriedly, "General, the eunuch De who is with the emperor is here."

Everyone stood up to welcome Eunuch De.

After exchanging greetings, Eunuch De conveyed the emperor's message: "Fifth Prince, General Murong, and County Lord Shen, the emperor invites you."

In this way, the three of them took two carriages to the palace.

Royal study room.

The emperor looked at General Murong, who shared the same fate, and said softly, "Prime Minister, please come out."

The Prime Minister came out of the side room, bowed, and then teased with a smile: "Congratulations, General Murong, for also understanding the situation that the Emperor and I are in."

"You old bastard, you've become even more talkative now that you've stopped being prime minister." The emperor scolded with a smile and beckoned to General Murong, "General, please take a seat. I want to hear you admit that you want to marry your son off."

General Murong was stunned and looked at Shen Shuangyue, "Murong Ying will also face death, right?"

Shen Shuangyue and Xiao Jinyu looked at each other helplessly and nodded at the same time.

General Murong immediately stood up, opened the door to the imperial study, and ordered the accompanying guards, "Hurry back to the mansion and tell Murong Ying to pack her luggage. Bring the dowry I prepared for our eldest daughter from my storeroom to the county lord's residence. Tell the wet nurse to prepare another set for our eldest daughter, and prepare a few more sets this time."

The abstinent fifth prince, the emperor and the prime minister's faces suddenly turned extremely ugly when they heard this.

When did the world become a place where whoever is most willing to sacrifice face is the winner?
