Good luck in pregnancy, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion has a soft waist

When the emperor left, he prepared an inconspicuous carriage with a green cloth cover for Shen Muxue without saying another word.

Seeing this, Qingyi grumbled privately, as if she felt the arrangement was too simple. She scratched her ears and said with an apologetic smile, "Alas, the young master left in a hurry and didn't have time to make more arrangements..."

Shen Muxue's fingers gently stroked the "Han" logo engraved on the side of the carriage, and she smiled gently: "I understand what you are thinking, sir."

Qingyi muttered in her heart: Ah this?

Well, there's no point in saying more.

The coachman drove the carriage into the city gate in just the time it took to stick of incense.

What they heard along the way was all about the heated discussions about the marriage between the Anping Marquisate and the Xiangfu. They all praised the Second Miss Shen Leyao and the Anping Marquisate's Prince Ling Fan as a perfect match made in heaven, with equal family backgrounds and a perfect match made in heaven.

The topic naturally turned to Shen Muxue's elopement, accusing her of being ungrateful, frivolous, and not knowing how to make choices.

Qingyi hurriedly pulled down the curtain, looked at Shen Muxue's expression, and said soothingly, "Miss, don't take it to heart. These are just people who don't know the inside story and are talking nonsense."

Shen Muxue's face was as gloomy as water, neither refuting nor agreeing.

She knew very well that the higher people were praised, the harder they would fall in the future.

Take it slow and everything will become clear.

"We've arrived at the Prime Minister's residence—"

The carriage stopped in front of a magnificent mansion gate.

Qingyi went to knock on the door.

The door was slightly opened, and after the announcement, the servant's face changed several times in an instant, and finally with a bang, the door was closed again.

Qingyi was so angry that she almost wanted to kick the door open.

Shen Muxue leaned back in the car, closed her eyes and rested, not surprised at all by this scene.

The father values ​​his reputation the most, so it will naturally take time for him to adjust his mentality after his disgraced daughter returns.

As for whether he can stay at home, it depends on the attitude of his father and stepmother Jin.

After the couple had finished their discussion, the door opened again.

A group of guards armed with sticks surrounded the carriage as if they were facing a great enemy. Passersby who didn't know the truth might have thought that they were going to deal with some bandit.

The leader was Liu Ma, a close confidant of stepmother Jin. She was tall and strong, with a fleshy face and a manly demeanor.

She sneered, "My dear young lady, the master has issued an order. You have disobeyed the rules of marriage and eloped, bringing disgrace upon the family. If you wish to enter this gate, you must first be punished with twenty strokes of the cane to set things right."

The corners of Shen Muxue's mouth rose slightly, and she sighed in her heart: He is indeed my biological father, his hypocritical acting skills are really amazing.

What he meant by setting the record straight was not just to show the world his integrity and selflessness.

Shen Muxue suddenly opened her eyes, lifted the carriage curtain, and peered through the crowd into the mansion: "Elope? How can you say that? I'm sure my father made a mistake. Once I enter the mansion, I'll explain everything."

Shen Muxue wanted to go to the mansion, but was stopped by Aunt Liu: "Miss, isn't what this servant said clear enough? If you want to enter this door, you will be beaten with a stick first."

"What if I don't want to?"

"We are only following orders. If you don't cooperate, don't blame us for being ruthless."

Nanny Liu reached out to grab Shen Muxue's arm, but unexpectedly, before her fingertips touched, her wrist was firmly clamped.

"You dare to touch my young lady? You must be tired of living!"

Qingyi twisted it hard, and with a snap, Liu Ma's outstretched wrist was instantly broken.

Then, she kicked Liu Ma Ma away, and she crashed directly into the stone lion beside the mansion gate, and she couldn't get up for a while.

Seeing this, the guards rushed forward.

Qingyi asked Shen Muxue to step back, and she rushed into the crowd, using both fists and feet. Her movements were swift and neat, and all the onlookers were amazed.

This scene was a one-sided crushing.

But in the blink of an eye, all the guards were lying on the ground, groaning in pain, unable to fight back.

Shen Muxue thought to herself, no wonder the emperor didn't assign anyone else to her, Qingyi alone is enough to replace ten people.

On the side, Nanny Liu was spitting blood, holding her chest and staggering away into the mansion.

Shen Muxue saw it, but had no intention of stopping it.

In just a cup of tea's time, Prime Minister Shen and Jin appeared angrily.

He glanced at the struggling guards, then at the unperturbed Shen Muxue. The veins on his forehead popped, and he angrily shouted, "You rebellious girl, how dare you come back? Tell me, what do you want to do now? Are you determined to tear down our home?"

Family?

Shen Muxue found this word particularly ironic.

This is the home of Prime Minister Shen and his second wife, Jin. It is Shen Leyao's home, but it does not belong to her.

In this so-called home, who else could be like her, facing scolding and humiliation at any time, living a life worse than pigs and dogs?

"They falsely accused our daughter of elopement. Shouldn't they be punished, father?"

Shen Muxue looked directly at Prime Minister Shen with a frank gaze, without any intention of avoiding the question.

Prime Minister Shen was speechless for a moment.

A heart full of blame came to my lips, but I couldn't say it.

"Xue'er, you're finally back. Your father has been so worried about you that his hair has almost turned white."

Jin pretended to wipe her tears, "We know that you must have been young and ignorant, and you were bewitched by others to make such a mistake. Don't worry, your father and I will take care of it for you."

These words clearly confirmed her crime of elopement.

Jin, good tricks!

Shen Muxue tilted her head, feigning confusion. "So it was the Jin family who spread the rumor. No wonder it's spreading like wildfire in the capital. But, I wonder who I eloped with in the capital? Jin is so certain about it, could it be that she saw it with her own eyes?"

Jin originally thought that Shen Muxue was dead, so she naturally threw dirty water on her without any scruples.

Now that the truth is out in the open, how can she find the fictional adulterer?

Jin didn't answer. Instead, she asked, "If you didn't elope, where have you been these days? Why didn't you send a message home?"

"Madam, do you really want me to come back? I thought you had already given all the dowry that mother prepared for me to my second sister."

Shen Muxue stared at Jin, but there was no smile in her eyes.

There was a light in those clear eyes that made people dare not look directly at it.

Jin was frightened by the look on her face. What happened to this little girl?

He used to be timid and submissive, never fighting back when beaten or retaliating when scolded, but now he actually dares to openly confront her?

Jin suddenly became angry.

She pulled the Prime Minister and said aggrievedly, "Master, listen to what you are saying. I was worried about her, but now it's my fault."

Prime Minister Shen was also very angry.

He scolded, "Rebellious girl, why don't you kneel down and apologize to your mother?"

Apologize?

In the past, she always chose to apologize to avoid arguments.

But now, she is unwilling to endure humiliation anymore.

She smiled and questioned, "Father, what exactly did I do wrong? During the month I was missing, not only did you not look for me, but you actually accused me of something I didn't commit. I'm still married, have you ever considered your daughter's innocence and reputation?"

Shen Muxue felt sad.

She took a deep breath and continued, "Let's put all that aside. My engagement with Ling Fan was arranged by mother before she died. Why did it become my second sister's? Father, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Prime Minister Shen's face turned pale and blue. This was the first time in his forty-plus years of life that he was being questioned in person by someone, and that person was his own daughter.

He felt his fatherly authority was greatly challenged and roared, "How dare you speak to me like that? Even if you were innocent, I would never marry you into a marquisate, lest you bring harm to others. Come, bring the family rules! I'm going to teach this rebellious son a lesson!"
