Destroy the scumbag husband, beat the bitch, the reborn legitimate daughter overturns the entire cap

Upon hearing this, Mu Chang'an and the old man immediately understood what was going on!

This was clearly a carefully planned scheme, and the soldiers guarding the city had been bribed beforehand! It seems that this was no accident, nor was it that simple!

"If it weren't for that benefactor, I'm afraid my daughter and Ah Xuan wouldn't have been able to come back!" Mu Xin Nuan still felt lingering fear when she thought of the extremely dangerous situation at that time, and her face turned even paler, as if she was quite afraid.

Madam Li quickly pulled her daughter closer to her and comforted her, "My dear Nuan! It's alright, it's alright! We're back at the manor now, nothing will happen anymore. Don't worry, no one will be chasing after you to kill you anymore."

Li's words, seemingly meant to comfort her daughter, felt to Mu Chang'an like a knife slowly slicing through his flesh! These were his own two children! They had been secretly plotted to be killed outside the capital, and the guards had even been bribed. It seemed that if this wasn't aimed at him, Mu Chang'an, then someone else saw him and his sister as a thorn in their side!

The old man's eyes flickered, but he simply stroked his beard calmly, and his gaze toward Mu Chang'an was already somewhat complicated.

"Don't worry, Nuan Nuan. Father will definitely find someone to investigate this matter thoroughly, give you and your brother justice, and also give the Mu family an explanation."

Mu Xin Nuan shook her head and said, "Father, there's no need to be busy anymore. That noble person has already been investigated. All of them have been sent to the Jingzhao Prefecture. An additional charge has been added: that they startled the noble person. Moreover, it seems that they will be investigated for whether they intended to assassinate the noble person."

Hearing this, everyone felt somewhat relieved. With that benefactor's help, the matter would likely be resolved faster and more thoroughly than if they had intervened themselves!

After this ordeal, Mu Chang'an ordered Mu Qingxuan to be accompanied by two more skilled servants, ensuring that he would always have help wherever he went. Upon hearing of this, the old lady of the Zhenguo General's Mansion not only personally visited them but also sent a large amount of tonics, saying it was to calm the two children's nerves.

Mu Xin Nuan's uncle, Li Feng, went even further, directly ordering several skilled guards from his own residence to be sent to the Mu family, specifically requesting that they protect his nephew.

Although Madam Mu felt that Li Feng's actions were somewhat inappropriate, after consulting with the master and considering Mu Qingxuan's safety, she decided to keep him to prevent a recurrence.

The old lady was originally the daughter of a military family. She had intended to have someone teach Mu Xinnuan martial arts, but the Mu family had been a scholarly family for generations. It was already quite good that they could teach Mu Qingxuan martial arts! How could they possibly let their eldest daughter practice swords and spears?

Helpless, the old lady had no choice but to have her daughter-in-law select two skilled maids to send to Mu Xinnuan.

Mu Xin Nuan was extremely pleased with her grandmother's kindness. Having two skilled maids would make things much easier in the future. Moreover, she did indeed need some capable people by her side; she was afraid she wouldn't be able to do anything well on her own.

The old lady was naturally displeased with the Li family's blatant attempt to send people to the Mu residence, but since they had made it clear that they were only there to protect the two young masters, what could she, an old woman, say? Although her grandson and granddaughter bore the surname Mu, it didn't change the fact that they were grandsons of the Zhenguo General's Mansion!

How could anyone turn away someone sent by their in-laws? Besides, the old man completely approves of their arrangements! Forget about face and reputation; in his eyes, nothing is more important than the lives of his grandchildren!

Just a few days later, Mu Chang'an went to Rongyuan with a gloomy face. Since that day, the old lady seemed to have fallen ill and had exempted everyone from the morning and evening greetings, refusing to see anyone! As for the old master, he had been resting in the outer courtyard for several days in a row and had not stepped into the back courtyard!

When Mu Xin Nuan heard the news, she just smiled faintly, "It seems that person's methods are indeed brilliant. Although he didn't openly touch the Song family, in reality, it has already made people think that the person behind the scenes is from the Song family!"

Upon hearing this, Rongyue felt a chill run down her spine. "Miss, you mean the Song family? Is that the old lady's family?"

Mu Xin Nuan nodded, then shook her head. "The old lady is already old and has been married for many years. The Song family is no longer the old lady's family. The one in charge of the Song family now is Song's own brother! It should be said that it is Song's family."

Rongyue finally breathed a sigh of relief. She knew it! No matter how much the old lady disliked the young lady and the eldest son, she would never lay a hand on her own grandson! But if it were Madam Song, then it would be perfectly normal!

Rong Yue's injuries have mostly healed, and now she just stays by Mu Xin Nuan's side, keeping her company and talking to her. She doesn't need to do any specific serving duties.

"Miss, I never imagined that this Madam Song would be so despicable! Shouldn't we remind Madam?"

“Mother is a smart woman, why do you and I need to remind her? Father only spoke to the old lady alone, and his intentions are already clear. He only gave her some face because of the old lady’s connections! Moreover, the Song family also has other masters backing them up. It won’t be so easy to take down the Song family in a short time.”

"Miss, are you saying that they all wanted to kill someone, and that's not enough to convict them?"

Mu Xin Nuan sneered, "Who can prove that it was Song's brother who ordered it? What proof do they have? They're not fools! The so-called proof was probably destroyed at the very beginning of the arrangement! The people who went in now can at most prove that they are servants of the Song family. Who can prove that they were ordered by Song Tao?"

Rong Yue was immediately disheartened and said dejectedly, "So, it turns out we were just disappointed?"

“How could that be? Think about it, how could a mere fifth-rank official, a councilor of the Court of State Affairs, be able to bribe the city gate commander that day? If you say that Song Tao doesn’t have any other master behind him, who would believe it? What I can think of now, I’m sure my father and grandfather have already thought of as well.”

"Reporting to Miss, the two young masters have returned from school together and are already inside the courtyard."

The announcement from the maid outside the door allowed Mu Xin Nuan to temporarily put these troublesome matters aside!

"Rongyue, go and have someone prepare some snacks that the two young masters like. Send them to the pavilion in the courtyard."

"Yes, ma'am."

Mu Xin Nuan straightened her clothes slightly. As soon as she stepped out of the house, she saw her two younger brothers walking one after the other. Mu Qing Xuan's expression was clearly gloomy, while Mu Qing Yuan behind him looked dejected and defeated.

Without even asking, Mu Xin Nuan could tell that the two of them had probably had another argument along the way!
