You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

Mu House.

After Mu Qinxue returned home, she smashed everything in the boudoir and beat the maid who came in to clean up until she was bruised and swollen. Only then did she calm down.

When Li came back and saw the mess in the room, she was so angry that she slapped her in the face.

Mu Qinxue covered her face and burst into tears: "Mother, they bullied me, and you beat me, wuwu... I won't live anymore!"

"How dare you seek death? Everything you've endured today was all your own fault. You've made a fool of yourself by letting those bitches laugh at you."

Mu Qinxue cried while secretly glancing at Li's expression. Seeing that she was furious, she gradually stopped crying.

"Mother, my brother the Crown Prince and I couldn't help our feelings. We thought everything was safe. If it weren't for the First and Second Princes' men causing trouble, how could this have happened?

Moreover, I didn't expect Mu Yunge to be so resolute and act so quickly to ask for permission."

Mu Qinxue's mind raced, "I was thinking that if I begged her kindly, acted pitiful, and humbled myself, I could calm her anger.

And my great-grandfather, under normal circumstances, shouldn't he have scolded me, beaten me, made me kneel, and that was it? Why was he so tough? This is really unacceptable."

Li also calmed down, "Yes, after this happened, everyone would be angry, it's normal for them to lose their temper.

But that little bitch Anxi said we were plotting against them. Could it be that they knew our plan?"

Mu Qinxue shook her head and said in a comforting tone, "Don't scare yourself, we did it so secretly, there's no way they would know.

The calculation they were talking about was probably that I wanted to get close to Mu Yunge and become a concubine in the Duke's Mansion. Humph, who wants to be a concubine! "

Li said worriedly, "But, after what they did today at Puhua Temple, the news will spread very quickly.

Mu Yunge broke off the engagement and the news spread. If the Concubine Xian’s birthday banquet is successful, it would be fine and everything can go according to the original plan. But what if it fails?

Will Prince Lin be responsible for you? Will the Duke's Mansion marry you? If they don't acknowledge it, your life will be ruined."

Mu Qinxue was stunned, as if trying to convince herself, or to comfort Li, "Brother Crown Prince will never betray me. He has deep feelings for me."

"Deeply in love? A man's words in bed are the worst to be trusted. And that Duke's wife, it's obvious she's not someone you can easily get along with."

Mu Qinxue was so upset by Li's nagging that she yelled, "Mother, don't you want to think of me as good? You keep saying discouraging things, are you trying to piss me off?"

Mrs. Li lost her temper after being yelled at. "Mother is worried about you! Well, after what happened today, we are all in a bad mood. Mother will not say anything more. You should take a rest and cool down."

After saying that, he walked straight out of the house and returned to his yard with a heavy heart.

In fact, she had another worry in her heart. She was afraid that what happened in the past two days would spread to the border and affect her husband. If the plan failed, her husband would have to make a living under the control of the eldest wife.

The mother and daughter each had dinner in their own yard.

That night, Li thought about many things all night long. It was almost dawn when she took a nap in a daze and slept until noon.

Seeing that she was still not getting up, the maid could no longer wait and went to call for help: "Madam, Madam, wake up quickly, something has happened!"

Li woke up instantly and sat up suddenly: "Something happened? What happened?"

"Madam, Old Man Li, who went out to do some shopping, came back and said that everyone in the capital is talking about it..."

"What do you want to say? Can you finish it in one breath?" Li asked impatiently.

"Everyone's talking about the young lady. They say it was told by people who went to Puhua Temple to appreciate the flowers. They say it's so convincing."

"Get out!" Li angrily picked up a pillow and threw it at the maid.

Yes, there were so many people going to Puhua Temple to appreciate the flowers, and when they came back, the news spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Plus, with the commotion in front of the general's mansion, it was normal for the news to spread like wildfire.

Now that Cher’s reputation is completely ruined, what should we do?

It’s all that bitch Mu Yunge’s fault. If she had considered family ties and not asked for permission to cancel the engagement, this matter would have been much easier.

Li rubbed her hair irritably, then stood up and sat in front of the mirror.

Li's dowry maid heard the noise and came to help her change clothes and wash up: "Madam, don't be upset, everything will work out in the end.

Let's see what the Yongguo Mansion and Prince Lin have to say. At this moment, we shouldn't make any moves. Otherwise, we'll just be adding fuel to the fire, falling into someone else's trap and ruining the nobles' plans."

Mrs. Li nodded continuously as she listened. "Madam is right. We need to keep our composure. Anything we do now will be wrong. It's better to just ignore it and keep quiet."

"That's exactly what's going on!" Mammy said comfortingly as she worked. "We should eat and sleep as usual. We shouldn't go out for the time being. People outside can say whatever they want. We won't hear them anyway."

A smile appeared on Li's face. She packed up and left the yard to see Mu Qinxue.

When we arrived, Mu Qinxue was still fast asleep.

She didn't get a good rest that night at Puhua Temple. She was exhausted from the long journey yesterday and went to the general's mansion to apologize. She came back and smashed things up like crazy. She was really exhausted.

Seeing that she showed no signs of waking up, Li ordered Xiao Cui, "You must take good care of your young lady. If she wakes up, watch your mouths. If anyone dares to gossip, I will skin her alive."

Xiao Cui responded with lowered eyebrows.

Watching the people walk away, Xiao Cui sighed almost imperceptibly.

Xiao Cui was an orphan that Mu Yihui rescued on his way back to the capital ten years ago. He originally wanted Mu Qinxue to learn Mu Yunge, but unfortunately, neither Mu Qinxue nor Xiao Cui were suitable, so he had to give up.

Xiao Cui has always been loyal to Mu Qinxue and the Mu family.

However, she was a little confused by the behavior of the lady and the young lady in the past few months. She felt that they were like possessed and always did things that went against common sense. Shouldn't they have a good relationship with the eldest wife?

I tried to persuade him several times, but I was just a servant and my words were powerless, so I had to give up.

I thought that I would wait until the next time the master came back and talk to him even if it meant taking the risk of being disrespectful.

"Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui, what are you thinking about, you damn girl?"

Mu Qinxue's curse brought Xiao Cui back to reality. "Miss, I'm here. Do you want to get up?"

"I said I was thirsty, are you deaf?"

"Coming! Right here!" Xiao Cui hurriedly poured some water and handed it to Mu Qinxue's mouth, asking her to drink it before preparing to wash up.

Mu Qinxue sat in front of the mirror, watching Xiao Cui braid her hair. "I'm hungry, so be quick."

"Yes!" Xiao Cui quickly packed up, walked to the door and waved outside.

The other two maids came in tremblingly carrying trays.

Xiao Cui looked at the things on the tray and said, "Miss, this morning we have your favorite crystal buns and bird's nest porridge..."

Mu Qinxue looked listless and had no interest in anything.

"Someone go tell my mother I don't have much of an appetite and I want to have some of her spicy chicken for lunch."

Xiao Cui bowed and asked, "How about some sweet and sour pork?"

Mu Qinxue stared at Xiao Cui, "Did you receive any letter after I went to bed?"
