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

The siblings entered the house together and saw the old lady sighing with a worried expression, while Mu Xinyao knelt on the ground with red eyes.

After the two greeted the old lady, Mu Xinnuan went up to help Mu Xinyao up, saying, "Sister, what are you doing? The ground is cold, get up quickly."

Mu Xinyao shook her head and reached out to grab Mu Xinnuan's hand. "Sister, Auntie is all alone in the plum garden, without anyone to serve her. Please have pity on me and beg Mother to release Auntie."

Upon hearing this, Mu Xin Nuan looked troubled. "Good sister, please get up. It's not that I'm unwilling to help you, but I'm just a child, and what I say doesn't count!"

"How could that be? Father and Mother have always loved you the most. If you just ask, they will definitely be willing to release Aunt. Sister, please, sister! You have always loved A-Yuan. Do you really want to watch A-Yuan miss Aunt every night?"

Mu Xin Nuan frowned, remaining silent. Instead, she removed Mu Xin Yao's hand from her own and took a step back. "Sister, I've said everything I needed to say. If you insist on this, there's nothing I can do. However, asking me to beg Father and Mother is absolutely out of the question!"

"Why? Sister, everyone says you are kind and generous. Could it be that all of this is just a lie?"

Mu Qingxuan's expression changed slightly; this was clearly using her sister's reputation as leverage!

Unexpectedly, Mu Xin Nuan's eyes reddened. "Grandmother, if there's nothing else, then I'll take my leave now. I still need to pay my respects to Mother."

After saying that, without waiting for the old lady to speak, she directly pulled Mu Qingxuan away.

The old lady was about to speak, but there was no one in front of her.

Seeing this, Mu Xinyao didn't forget to sow discord, "Grandmother, look, my sister actually...?"

The words were left unsaid, but the effect was better than if they had been said!

The old lady's face darkened. "Hmph! Isn't it just because Chang'an dotes on her? She's becoming more and more ill-mannered! She's even forgotten the proper etiquette of paying respects."

"Grandmother, what about that concubine?"

"Don't worry! Your aunt has already been promoted to Consort, hasn't she? Once the news of her pregnancy is confirmed and the good news is announced, we won't need to say anything. Your father, out of respect for the Crown Prince's residence, will release your aunt."

"Yes, grandmother."

The next morning, Rongyue rushed into the bedroom. "Miss, the rumors have already started to spread everywhere. I'm sure Master and Grandfather have heard about them as well."

"Hmm. How's the thing I asked you to do going?"

"Miss, everything you instructed has been arranged."

Mu Xin Nuan's eyes held a smile, much like the full moon, radiant with boundless light. Mu Xin Yao, Madam, isn't your plan to use Song Pei Ci's pregnancy to force Father to release the Song family? Hmph! I'd like to see how you'll handle this situation.

Noon, in the flower hall.

Mu Xinyao brought up the old matter again and knelt on the ground. Mu Xinnuan stood quietly to the side, as if she had seen and heard nothing.

Mu Chang'an naturally knew that Mu Peici had been promoted to Consort by the Crown Prince's residence. Thinking about it, even if it was for the sake of the Crown Prince's residence, Song Shi could not be kept locked up forever. Otherwise, if that Consort whispered in the Crown Prince's ear, wouldn't she be putting herself in a precarious position?

You should know that at this time, the Crown Prince is highly valued by the Emperor, and many important court affairs are handled by the Crown Prince.

However, Mu Chang'an felt somewhat annoyed whenever he thought about what Song had done! He subconsciously glanced at Li Shi and saw that she was calm and showed no emotion. He knew that she must also know the consequences of what was going on. He figured that even if she was angry, she was helpless to do anything about it!

Looking at her mother again, she saw a face full of expectation, as if if Mu Chang'an still didn't agree this time, she, as his mother, would have to swallow her pride and beg him!

Mu Chang'an sighed inwardly. Reality was just like that. Even if he disliked Song Shi, didn't he still take her in back then? Didn't she still bear him children? This time, even if he didn't want her to come out, he had no choice but to let her come out. Who could blame him when her family had climbed up to the Crown Prince's mansion?

The old man's eyes flickered slightly as he glanced at Mu Chang'an, shook his head gently, and then narrowed his eyes to rest.

"None of you are allowed to stop me! If I don't kill that Song woman today, what kind of man am I? This is simply outrageous! At worst, when the Crown Prince's Mansion blames me in the future, I'll just pay him with my life!"

A series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door, along with Mu Qingxuan's very angry voice, and at the same time, the servant's words of comfort.

Mu Chang'an's brow furrowed, while Li Shi looked worried and straightened up slightly, clearly indicating that she was about to become restless.

The old lady's face remained impassive, but her eyes were filled with smugness. She clearly felt she had caught Mu Qingxuan red-handed and was waiting to give him a stern reprimand later!

Mu Qingxuan stormed in, his face contorted with rage. As soon as he entered, he lifted his robe and knelt down in the room. "Father, rumors are circulating that my sister and I were attacked outside the city that day, and that it was all the work of the Song family. Father, today I just want to know the truth of this matter."

Mu Chang'an was taken aback. They had only suspected this matter before, since there was no real evidence. Now that they had received the news that Song Peici was to be promoted to the rank of Consort, it seemed that, most likely, it was the Crown Prince's people who protected the Song family and smoothed things over.

"Nonsense! Where did you hear this from?" Mu Chang'an glanced at the old lady, who was already angry, and quickly rebuked her.

“Father, if this matter is truly false, why are people outside spreading it so widely? And they are saying it with such detail and evidence. Father, it's not that I doubt your words, but I understand the principle that there's no smoke without fire.”

Mu Chang'an was stunned, clearly not expecting his son to say such a thing. Then he saw Mu Qingyuan running in breathlessly. As soon as he entered, he saw his brother kneeling there and knelt down beside him without saying a word.

Mu Qingxuan, however, looked disgusted and shoved him away. "Get away from me! Mother and sister have treated you so well, but your aunt actually conspired with the Song family to kill me and my sister. I don't have a brother like you!"

Caught off guard, Mu Qingyuan fell to the ground when pushed by his brother. Perhaps he was hurt, or perhaps he felt wronged by being pushed by his brother, he burst into tears!

Mu Xin Nuan quickly stepped forward, "A Yuan, don't cry. Your brother is just in a bad mood, it has nothing to do with you. A Yuan has always done a good job. Whatever Aunt Song did has nothing to do with you! She is her, and you are you, don't cry!"

Mu Qingyuan shook her head, "I don't blame my brother. I heard those rumors too. Sister, are they all true? They said that Aunt hired assassins to kill you and my brother, and not only that, she also sent people from the Crown Prince's residence to put pressure on the Mu family!"

One sentence immediately shocked Mu Chang'an!
