You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

The old man returned the greeting to everyone.

"Thank you all for your concern for the General's Mansion!"

As he spoke, his face darkened and he raised the imperial edict in his hand: "This is the edict issued by the Emperor this morning to cancel the engagement. The marriage between our General's Mansion and the Duke of Yongguo's Mansion is cancelled. Please be a witness."

Mu Yunge took the imperial edict and handed it to Annan. Annan unfolded the edict, walked in front of the people, and let everyone read it one by one.

After everyone had seen it, the old man waved back again.

A secret guard came out holding a tray, and the old man explained loudly.

"This is the engagement document and token returned by the Duke of Yong's Mansion. From now on, our General's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion have no further ties, and marriages are no longer related to each other."

The people applauded and cheered, "Great! This is the spirit that a general's mansion should have!"

The old man raised his hand to calm the applause and cheers. "I hereby declare that our General's Mansion and the mother and daughter of the Mu family's second branch will have no contact with each other until death."

"Good!" The people applauded and cheered again.

"Uncle!"

"Grandfather!"

Two loud shouts of disbelief interrupted everyone's applause and cheers.

Everyone turned their attention to the source of the sound, and to the mother and daughter kneeling on the ground.

"Why are you barking like dogs? You have done such shameless things, and you still want to cling to the general's mansion?" Some people spoke sharply.

Mrs. Li stiffened her neck. "No one is perfect. Uncle, Xue'er did something wrong, but you don't have to cut off contact with her forever, right? Is that why you can't tolerate her?"

"Hey, that's a bit strange. Your daughter stole someone's fiancé, and he doesn't want to see your ugly faces anymore. How can you say you can't tolerate her? Don't put the blame on the General's Mansion."

"That's right, your daughter has been stealing men and even her future brother-in-law. People think you are dirty and disgusting."

Li's chest heaved with rage. "This is our Mu family's affair. What does it have to do with you? Get out!"

Anxi curled his lips. "How is it none of their business? This is called seeing injustice and speaking out for justice."

Besides, our young lady has already requested permission to cancel the engagement and no longer has a fiancé. You won’t gain anything by coming along, as there’s no brother-in-law to steal.”

Mu Yunge glanced at Anxi, who was standing with her hands on her hips like a little hot pepper, and almost laughed out loud.

This girl!

Mu Qinxue wiped away her tears and said, "Grandfather, sister, Xue'er was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I won't do it again!"

Anxi is firing on all cylinders.

"Hey, you're still thinking about the future?

Shouldn't you be pestering your brother, the Crown Prince, to marry you and make him his wife, so that the gossips would be silenced? What's the point of pestering the General's Mansion? Are you still trying to plot against our young lady?

You are being so hypocritical here. It is impossible for our young lady and you to coexist peacefully. It is better not to come and disgust us."

"You, you guys..." Mu Qinxue covered her face and ran away crying.

Seeing this, Li took on the posture of a shrew scolding on the street, "Anxi, you little bitch, how dare you meddle in the master's affairs?

And you, Ge'er, you don't have the ability to keep your man, and you blame others for thinking about you?

Besides, sisters are always better than strangers, right? You will suffer in the future if you don't care about family affection."

Mu Yunge laughed angrily: "Third Aunt, I'm calling you Third Aunt for the last time, how dare you mention the word kinship?

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talking about this marriage, you and Mu Qinxue are the most concerned, lobbying in various ways and trying your best to bring them together.

He and I got engaged as you wished, and now we are about to get married, but Mu Qinxue climbed into his bed right under my nose.

Judging from all the signs, Mu Qinxue and him should have been together for a long time, right? What are you doing? Is this what you call family affection? "

Li was speechless after being asked this question.

"There's actually this hidden secret. What is the second branch of the Mu family going to do?"

"Mu Qinxue is quite vicious, pushing her lover onto her own sister."

"Bah, shameless!"

"The people in the General's Mansion are concerned about family ties and don't punish them. We can't stand it, so we punish them..."

The onlookers were angry and approached Li step by step.

"Just wait and see, you'll be in trouble!" Seeing that the situation was not right, Li lifted her skirt, yelled, and ran away in a panic.

Mu Yunge bowed deeply to the onlookers: "Dear uncles and aunts, thank you for speaking my fair words!"

"Ms. Mu, you don't have to thank us. Your family guards the border and is the backbone of the people of Dayan. How can we watch you being bullied?"

"That's right, from now on you should keep your eyes open and stay away from those bad people who say one thing and do another."

Mu Yunge bowed again, "Yes, thank you very much, everyone, please go away!"

After watching the onlookers disperse, Mu Yunge helped the old man back to the main courtyard.

"Grandfather, what we're doing today is completely breaking off relations with them, mother and daughter. Will this have an impact on my father and brother?"

The old man smiled and said, "You forgot, I was only talking about Mu Qinxue and her daughter, but not the other people in the second house.

Even if the news reached the border, they would just think it was an ordinary quarrel in the inner house.

Counting the days, your father and brothers will receive your letter in a few days, don't worry, nothing bad will happen!"

Guo Shu looked at the grandparents with a smile: "I finally got rid of my anger today! But from what I know about them, they won't do anything on the surface, but they will definitely use shady tricks in secret."

Mu Yunge repeated what Annan and Anxi had heard: "Mother, we have to be careful."

Xianyunju.

Mu Yunge looked at the sky, wrote down briefly the plans of Zhao Hongyi, Lin Jinhao and others, as well as the farce outside the mansion today, and handed it to Annan.

"Let Huihui and the others make another run. For safety's sake, we should inform the prince about this matter. He might have connections in the palace."

After giving Annan the order, he called Anton over and said, "Spread the news about the scandal of that adulterous couple in Puhua Temple. I want everyone in the capital to know what they did before tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow morning, send a message that the eldest prince has taken a fancy to a house in Liuxiang, North City, and forced the family to buy it, causing the family to be ruined.

And the story of the Second Prince drinking wine in Cuihonglou and competing with someone for a girl at a high price, and finally beating someone to death."

An Bei gave a thumbs up and said, "Miss, this is a brilliant move. Let them fight each other and stir up trouble in the capital."

Mu Yunge smiled and reminded Anton, "Do it cleanly. We can't let them find out it was us who did it."

"Don't worry, miss. Our people will disguise themselves and go out. No one will be able to trace us back." Anton happily agreed and went to make arrangements quickly.

Night falls.

Ling Feng visited Xianyunju again.

"Miss Mu, the prince sent a servant to deliver a letter to you."

Mu Yunge read the contents of the letter. Zhao Jingchen had written a long and eloquent letter, telling her not to worry about the palace banquet and that someone would secretly protect her.

They praised her for asking for permission to cancel the engagement, saying it was a very pleasing move, and said that without the constraints of marriage, she could now focus on dealing with her enemies.

Mu Yunge also wrote back, saying that as for spreading the news, he asked Zhao Jingchen to just watch the fun and either not attack at all, or kill him with one blow if he did.

After sending Ling Feng away, Mu Yunge looked out the window at the night, looking forward to the bustling city tomorrow...
