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

Han Tingzhou: "I don't have an embarrassing sister like you. You will only ruin our reputation."

"very good."

Shen Muxue smiled faintly. "Since you don't want to acknowledge me, then we are just strangers with no connection. In that case, I will go to the emperor to seek justice. What is the legal punishment for the Han family guards humiliating the county lady? And what is the punishment for Mo Yueshi spreading false accusations and framing me?"

After saying that, Shen Muxue stood up and left.

Finally, the old lady could no longer sit still.

Her old voice came: "Mu Xue, wait."

He sighed and said with a hint of instruction, "I'm just giving you some good advice. If you think it makes sense, then make some changes. If not, then encourage yourself. Why get so worked up?"

"So, old lady, you want me to compromise and give in? But haven't you always said that I'm a suspicious and petty young lady? Is that really who I am in your mind?"

"Since you know my personality, why did you remain silent when Han Tingzhou accused me? It's because you agree with him, right?"

When looking into the old lady's eyes, the clear and determined look in Shen Muxue's eyes made her think of her daughter who once knelt on the ground and decided to leave home.

At that time, that strong woman had stared at her with the same sharp eyes and asked, "Is it right to act according to your values? You say you're doing this for my own good, but have you ever truly understood the struggles and hardships I've gone through? Do you desire a real family, or a puppet who will always obey your will?"

These sharp questions seemed to have touched the old lady's heart again after more than ten years.

This made the old lady feel a little sad.

"This child is just like your mother, she never loses when it comes to her words."

The old lady forced a smile, her words full of affection, "Excuse me for being rude. We are family after all. Come back and sit down."

Seeing this, the mother quickly grabbed Shen Muxue's hand and whispered to her in a soothing voice, "Xue'er, forget it. Let's stop here, okay? Don't insist on this."

But Shen Muxue gently moved her hand away, saying seriously, "This is a matter of my personal honor. I can't just let it go like this."

Then he turned to the old lady and slowly said, "Perhaps you have some misunderstandings about me. In fact, I came here today not because I want to rely on or depend on the reputation of the Han family, but because I regard you as family. My second brother Lu Wen and mother told me before that you are a very kind person."

"The past days have been extremely lonely and desolate, lacking the nourishment of family. I thought that once you returned, I would have the company of loving elders. Now I realize that my wishful thinking may have been wrong."

As soon as the words fell, several people present almost cried.

Han Chenghe, in particular, slammed his hand on the table and shouted with red eyes, "No matter how others see you, at least in my heart you are still my sister! I will always support you!"

Shen Muxue nodded and bowed to everyone around her, "No need to see me off, I'll say goodbye now."

Then he turned and walked out the door.

Seeing her daughter's resolute attitude, the old lady stood up in panic and asked, "Where are you going?"

She was answered with a clear and powerful answer: "The Imperial Palace."

At this moment, Han Tingzhou's face turned pale, and he stared fiercely at the back of Shen Muxue who was walking away, as if he wanted to burn a hole in her.

A trace of panic flashed in Mo Yueshi's eyes.

She originally thought that Shen Muxue would choose to endure all this silently, but she didn't expect that she would be so stubborn.

They even completely ignore the pleas of their elders and take extreme actions to resist.

What a stubborn woman.

Lu Wen, who had been holding back for a long time, could no longer suppress her inner urge and resolutely stood up and said, "Sister, please allow me to go to the palace with you."

She was about to get up and leave when Mo Yueshi hurriedly tried to stop her: "Lu Wen, I definitely didn't do this on purpose. You should know what happened just now. I was just being straightforward."

"Hmph, don't use your bluntness as an excuse. If you didn't want to hurt Sister Xue'er, how could you have forced her into this situation? I no longer consider you a friend. Give me back the candy."

As the two of them argued, the old lady suddenly picked up her cane and hit Han Tingzhou fiercely: "You insulted the county lady and bullied your sister. You really deserve a lesson."

Han Tingzhou did not dodge and took the two blows head-on.

He was very strong, and these blows did not hurt him at all.

Liu then advised, "Muxue, look, your grandmother has already done justice for you. Don't bother His Majesty anymore."

Shen Muxue snorted contemptuously: "Isn't this just acting?"

Seeing this, Liu sighed helplessly.

I thought to myself: This child looks fragile, but he is so determined and unshakable.

Are you ready to completely sever ties with the Han family?

The old lady said nothing more. After putting down her cane, she shouted, "Bring up the military stick!"

Everyone hoped that Shen Muxue would step forward to stop this and leave everyone a way out, but she did not move at all.

They just watched Han Tingzhou kneel down in the yard and be punished in front of everyone.

Mo Yueshi hurriedly ran forward, crying and trying to stop it, which showed that their brother and sister relationship was deep and further highlighted Shen Muxue's indifference.

However, Shen Muxue's heart was as clear as a mirror.

She knew very well that the old lady did this to save Han Tingzhou's face.

After all, he had just returned from the border. If he was punished by the emperor, he would inevitably be looked down upon by outsiders.

But if he is not punished, there will be rumors outside that there is discord within the Han family.

If someone else takes advantage of the opportunity to interfere, things will become even more difficult.

The smart Shen Muxue had already seen everything clearly.

She knew that all this was just for show.

After this punishment, his relationship with the Han family might become distant.

But she was no longer willing to compromise in order to please others.

Since there was a gap between the two sides' positions at the beginning, blindly accommodating them would only lead to greater humiliation in the end.

At this moment, a guard, holding his chest, rushed into the yard in a hurry and fell to the ground.

He managed to speak: "Oh no, someone broke into the treasure house..."

"How dare you be so bold! We must find out which bandit leader dared to come to the General's Mansion and act so presumptuously!"

After saying this, Liu asked the old lady for instructions and hurried to the treasure pavilion with several guards.

Who would have thought that as soon as the guards dispersed, dozens of masked assassins suddenly rushed out from all directions.

They were very skilled, and several servants nearby had their throats cut and fell to the ground before they could even defend themselves.

Except for a few women, almost no one here is able to protect themselves.

The only one who could find the answer was Han Tingzhou, who had experienced the baptism of war and witnessed the struggle of life and death.

Although he was bleeding from many injuries from the beating he had just received, he still held the sword tightly in his hand and fought hard against the men in black without showing any weakness.

At the same time, Han Chenghe protected a group of women and slowly retreated. One of the two brothers was responsible for fighting against foreign enemies; the other was focused on protecting the safety of everyone behind him.
