The peerless and dark princess

At this time, no one cared about Shen Xinyue who was still in the woodshed. She was greedy and cruel, but she was worthy of the two children, Mu Ruohan and Mu Yucheng. At least she was a good mother.

"Mu Heng, let's get a divorce."

"Don't even think about it, Qiao Yan. Since you have already married into my Mu family, don't even think about getting a divorce. Didn't you wait for me in the beginning? Why do you want a divorce now after seeing me like this?..." Mu Heng's distorted look at this moment was completely different from his hypocritical look before. This was the real Mu Heng, the cruel, greedy and heartless him.

Everyone was silent at this moment, as if waiting for someone to speak.

"Who is Shen Xinyue?"

The prefect who was brought to the Mu Mansion was sweating profusely. This was the Shangshu Mansion, and Mu Heng's official position was higher than his. But he had to take action in the current situation. The people of the Qiao family accused Mu Heng's concubine of murdering their daughter. As the prefect, he couldn't just ignore it, and he couldn't afford to offend anyone.

"Sir, that's the one inside."

"Thank you, Master Qiao," the prefect glanced at the embarrassed Mu Heng, "Sir Mu, please let me move aside and take Shen Xinyue away."

At this moment, Qiao Yan made a decision and knelt down immediately. "Your Excellency, I am suing Minister Mu Heng and my concubine for the murder of my late wife, as well as the murder of Yang Dafu's family of five in Shanghe Village twenty years ago."

The prefect's foot froze when he was about to step over Mu Heng, cold sweat pouring down his face. He really wanted to faint at this moment and sue the Shangshu Mansion. Was he trying to kill himself? There was also Miss Mu Wange, and she had the Prince of Yan's Mansion behind her.

"Haha, Madam Mu, stop joking."

"Prefect, you don't have to worry about me. Since it was my father's wife who reported the case, I naturally won't interfere with your investigation. Besides, didn't Qiao just mention that my mother was murdered by Shen..."

The prefect is catching horses now, what should we do in this situation? Just when we were at a loss, Chu Lianyao and others arrived. Mu Wange arranged this trap and asked A Mei to go to the Prince of Yan's Mansion and come back if she saw any movement from the officials under the jurisdiction of the capital.

“Prince!!”

"Well, as my sister's brother, I ask you to capture Shen Xinyue and Mu Heng."

The prefect was shocked. What should he do? But that was the prince. How could a small prefect like him do anything? Just now, it was Mu Heng's concubine that he could do it reluctantly, but now the one he caught was the dignified Shangshu.

"Okay, don't worry about this matter. I've brought people here. It's finally okay to go to the Imperial Court now."

"Sir, of course it's possible. But what about Minister Mu's concubine who plotted to murder Madam Mu, Qiao?"

"It's okay. Since the Qiao family is also involved, I will take them to the Imperial Court."

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you, Prince."

The prefect could only return empty-handed. Since the matter had come before the emperor, there was no need for a small official like him to deal with it. None of them could be offended. In the capital, anyone they met were powerful and influential, so they could only let them solve it themselves. After studying hard for so many years, he couldn't let his family members offend them because of this. He could be said to have no integrity, but could integrity ensure that his family members had enough food and drink and did not suffer?

Shen Xinyue never thought that she would be able to enter the palace again in her life. Even though she was a prisoner and a witness who exposed Mu Heng, it was worth it. She had been scheming all her life, and in the end, she even calculated her own life.

Chen Yu had not gone to bed yet at this time. When he heard that Chu Lianyao, Mu Wange and others came to see him, he almost asked the palace servants to bring them into the palace without thinking.

In fact, Mu Heng already knew that the situation was hopeless at this time. Now Chu Lianyao was accusing him of Chu Wanran and the Yang family's affairs in Shanghe Village. Going to the palace was just a formality. Anyway, the Mu family was finished.

"Qiao Aiqing, Prince, what are you doing?"

"I am suing Minister Mu for murdering the family of five of Yang Dafu, a villager from Shanghe Village, twenty years ago. Yang Dafu is my uncle... Furthermore, Minister Mu's concubine, Shen, poisoned and murdered my late wife, Chu Wanran."

Chen Yu was already burning with rage when he heard this, but he was the emperor now and could not randomly accuse Mu Heng of a crime. He was at most an accomplice who knew about Shen's poisoning of Chu Wanran and could not do anything to him. Besides, Mu Wange's biological father was still Mu Heng, so he had to consider him. As for the Yang family in Shanghe Village, he didn't know whether the evidence could be found.

"My dear, if that is the case, then this matter will be handed over to the Crown Prince for supervision and the Dali Temple for investigation."

"Your Majesty, I have a request. Since my father was involved in my mother's death, I would like to divorce him in my mother's name. From now on, my brother Mu Haolin and I will be the children of Chu Wanran, the daughter of the Chu family. We will have no connection with Mu Heng. Please allow me, Your Majesty."

"Prince Chu, what do you think?"

Chen Yu hoped that Mu Wange's surname was not Mu, but now people still didn't know that she was not Mu Heng's daughter, and her life experience could not be made public. At this moment, he could only patiently ask Chu Lianyao.

"My father and his family are willing to return to the Chu family with a funeral song. I also implore Your Majesty to allow this."

When Qiao Yang heard Mu Wange's request, he naturally wanted to ask his sister Qiao Yan for a divorce.

"I, Qiao Yang, also wish to seek a divorce for my sister, Qiao Yan, from Mu Heng. However, Mu Heng is the murderer of my uncle's family. How can my sister still be his wife? Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to grant my sister a divorce from Minister Mu."

"Qiao, what do you think? You said you waited for Mu Heng for many years. Are you willing to divorce him now?"

"I love him, but I also know propriety and honor. He is now a suspect in my uncle's murder. Even though I love him, I agree to a divorce. From now on, I am willing to bind my hair and cultivate in a temple, no longer interfering in worldly affairs."

Chen Yu naturally knew that they all wanted to distance themselves from Mu Heng, but he also took a closer look at Qiao Yan. She was quite a smart person. As for the means behind it, it was fine. He was really afraid that they would find out that she was involved with his daughter Wange.

"Mu Heng, this matter?"

"Your Majesty, I have no objection."

What else could Mu Heng say? As the emperor, Chen Yan was simply venting his anger on Chu Wanran's behalf. Even if he disagreed with the divorce, so what? And how could Shen withstand the punishment at the Dali Temple? If it weren't for these people guarding him, he would have wanted to bang his head against the wall and die, even though he was still afraid of death.

"Then I will allow Mu Wange to divorce her husband on behalf of her mother. From now on, the two siblings will live in the Prince of Yan's mansion and return to their mother's surname. Qiao Yan and Mu Heng will divorce and have nothing to do with each other's marriages from now on..."

Qiao Yan originally wanted to point out that she was the only blood of the Yang family left in the world, but Qiao Yang stopped her, saying that otherwise she would be criticized for marrying Mu Heng as a daughter of the Yang family. Now with Shen Xinyue from the Shen family around, and if they could find some more evidence, it would not be difficult to avenge the Yang family.
