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

Liu stood up to greet her, led her to a seat, and smiled gently: "It's okay, come and take a seat."

She sat next to Han Luwen. As soon as she sat down, Han Luwen held her hand and whispered, "Sister Xueer, no matter what happens, I will stand by you."

Why would you say such a thing?

Someone under the table gently kicked Shen Muxue's calf. She looked up and happened to see Han Chenghe making an encouraging gesture to her.

Shen Muxue frowned slightly.

Did something happen here in her absence?

Just as she was about to ask Han Luwen beside her, the old lady's words rang in her ears: "Xue'er, I know what you've been going through recently. As long as you can correct it, it's a good thing. No one will dare to bully you under the protection of the Han family in the future. But the key is to rely on yourself to be strong. If you always immerse yourself in self-doubt, others will look down on you. Do you understand?"

The implicit warning behind these words made Shen Muxue feel extremely heavy.

It seems that we can't have too high expectations of anyone.

The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

She quickly glanced at Mo Yueshi and saw that she was serving glutinous rice snacks to the old lady and seemed indifferent to what was happening around her.

However, Shen Muxue knew in her heart that this strange atmosphere was related to her.

Rumors about her spread easily.

Just a few words of exaggeration could completely damage her image in the old lady's mind.

The name Mo Yueshi sounded particularly ironic at this moment.

On the surface, he seems generous and free-spirited, but in fact, he is playing tricks in the backyard.

In fact, this matter is not serious at all. It may be forgotten if you just casually agree with it. After all, the old lady did not specifically point out the target of criticism.

But what is this for?

These people never gave birth to her, and the help they provided over the years was limited. Why did they so publicly direct her life?

Although he longs to integrate into the Han family circle, it does not mean that he can be easily exploited.

After all, it’s hard to say who needs support more.

Think of this.

Shen Muxue said calmly, "Please explain, old lady. I don't understand what I did wrong. What do you mean by these words?"

When she said the word "old lady", it was as if she was drawing a clear line in front of everyone.

They distanced themselves from each other.

Han Chenghe was worried that Shen Muxue would offend the elders, so he kicked her again.

He then stood up to ease the situation: "Today is a rare auspicious day. Please raise your glasses and celebrate!"

Unfortunately, no one responded.

Han Tingzhou interrupted with a sneer, "Second brother, please sit down first. Since she wants to understand the cause of her mistake, it's perfectly appropriate for me, her eldest brother, to ask her the details."

Han Tingzhou looked at Shen Muxue, his handsome face full of sarcasm.

"Shen Muxue, I heard that you disappeared because you eloped. Is this true?"

Before Shen Muxue could answer, he continued, "Perhaps the outside world doesn't know the truth, but we, the Han family, know that you didn't return home to be cared for because you were sick. Instead, you were away for a month. So where were you during this time?"

When Liu heard this, she hurried to pull Han Tingzhou. She was shocked when he gave her the task to assist.

Later she speculated that Shen Muxue might have been hiding with the emperor for a month.

She originally thought that Shen Muxue would be brought into the palace soon, but she never expected that the emperor's plan would be kept secret from her.

Therefore, in the entire Han family, no one knew her except her.

At this moment, she had no idea whether the emperor had changed his mind.

She didn't even dare to ask about the secrets of the royal family.

I had to pretend that I was completely unaware of all this.

But Han Tingzhou insisted on bringing up these sensitive topics.

Shen Muxue chuckled lightly, her face expression indifferent. "Are you still planning to question me further? For example, saying that I deliberately ruined the engagement between Ling Fan and Shen Leyao? Or that I stole the limelight at the Duke's Mansion and embarrassed my stepmother? If that's what you really want to ask, then I have something to ask as well. In what capacity do you question me? And what answer do you expect from me?"

"Should I admit that I am indeed such a scheming and vicious person, or should I kneel down and beg for mercy, expressing regret for my past actions?"

Shen Muxue's voice was cold and powerful.

Every word pierced the audience's heart like a sharp knife.

This made Han Chenghe, who was clenching his fists, extremely angry.

This is true.

If you really treat Xueer as a family member, isn't asking this question a deliberate humiliation to her?

What is the purpose of doing this, brother?

Mo Yueshi said in a gentle voice, "Grandma understands my personality. I'm always straightforward and say whatever comes to my mind. I never expected that these words would make Sister Xue'er hold a grudge against me.

I haven't seen her for such a long time, I wonder if she will be angry about this?"

Han Luwen comforted her, "No, Sister Xue'er may look gentle, but she's actually very sincere and straightforward. Sister Yao is worrying too much."

"Ah, maybe I just believed some gossip and mistakenly thought she was just like the rumors said..."

In this way, inadvertently, the story about Shen Muxue's past spread and became a topic of discussion among everyone.

Before this, although Han Chenghe felt that something was wrong, he did not think of it in a bad way. He thought that Mo Yueshi did this because she was innocent.

It was not until I heard Shen Muxue's explanation that I realized that Mo Yueshi and Han Tingzhou were obviously deliberately provoking and exposing each other's shortcomings.

The only difference is that one person strikes openly while the other one trips up the opponent secretly.

Anger forced Han Chenghe to his feet. "Brother! How could you say that about Xue'er? Did you lose your mind fighting at the border? Xue'er is actually very kind. She didn't mean to do what happened before. Why are you targeting her like this?"

Facing the accusation, Han Tingzhou seemed unconcerned and only smiled coldly: "I'm afraid only someone as naive as you could be easily deceived by her."

Seeing the two brothers arguing over her, Mo Yueshi was secretly delighted, but on the surface she pretended to persuade them, "Brothers, please stop arguing. This is entirely my fault for causing this commotion. I'm sorry, Sister Xue'er, please don't be so mean to me and forgive me just once."

As soon as these words came out, Han Tingzhou immediately had a strong desire to protect him.

He raised his voice and shouted, "Why do I need to apologize? I'm just telling the truth. It has nothing to do with you!"

Then he turned around and looked at Shen Muxue with wide eyes, "Is this the result you wanted?"

However, Shen Muxue just sneered.

Obviously, she was not satisfied with what was happening.

Since things have evolved to this point, we might as well just get it over with.

She raised her eyebrows, stared at Han Tingzhou and said, "It seems that you have never really considered me as a family member."
