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

Sun Ruoxiang is not a thoughtful person, and since she is still young, she didn't think too much about it. Instead, she chatted with Mu Xinnuan, who is the same age as her!

After eating two pieces of mung bean cake, Duanmu Chuze sipped a few more sips of tea, said a few innocuous words, and then turned and left!

No one noticed that while the Fourth Prince was eating mung bean cake, Zi Yi's eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets!

Meanwhile, Mu Xin Nuan was also somewhat shocked! She had heard that this Fourth Prince was extremely picky and had a severe case of mysophobia, but today, he was not only sitting here drinking tea, but he even ate two pieces of pastry? This was too unexpected!

The other young ladies were all feeling a pang of sadness at the thought of their incomparably handsome Fourth Prince leaving, so they couldn't think of anything else. Besides, they probably didn't even know that the Fourth Prince had a phobia of germs! After all, Mu Xin Nuan only found out about it after she married Jin Hui in her previous life.

After the Fourth Prince left, some of the young ladies who had been speaking somewhat tactfully earlier could no longer hold back and began to find fault with Mu Xinyao.

"Oh, it's the Fourth Prince! I wonder if Miss Mu would also like to play a tune on the zither for us sisters?"

"Yes, Miss Mu Er boasts of her superb zither skills, doesn't she? Although she's about as good as those five-copper-a-night players outside, she's still a daughter of an official. It's truly an eye-opener for her to play the zither in this teahouse!"

“Hey, Sister Luo, how can you say that?” Sun Ruoxiang leaned closer. “They were playing the zither, and we were just listening. It’s not that we were having our eyes opened, it’s that we were having a feast for our ears!”

The one addressed as Sister Luo smiled sweetly, "Sister Ruoxiang is right!"

Yang Yu'er saw that the group had teased Mu Xinyao enough, and seeing that Mu Xinyao was only nine years old, she was afraid that even if she wanted to marry the Fourth Prince, the Fourth Prince and the Empress would not allow it!

"Alright, it's getting late, let's go."

Just then, Mu Chang'an entered. The young ladies bowed and took their leave one by one.

As soon as they left, Mu Xinyao immediately went up to Mu Chang'an and started crying.

Mu Chang'an couldn't quite hear what she said either. He turned to look at Mu Xin Nuan and saw that she seemed somewhat helpless. "Father, let's go back to the manor and talk about it. There are too many people here, and it might not be good for our family's reputation."

Mu Chang'an frowned. This daughter of his had always been extremely sensible and well-behaved. Seeing the worry on her face, he feared that things were more troublesome than he had imagined. So he immediately ordered someone to bring a carriage over, and the group quickly returned to the mansion.

Upon returning to the manor, Mu Xin Nuan simply recounted the events in general terms, without embellishing them. She also omitted mentioning the Fourth Prince's invitation to play the zither, only stating that Mu Xin Yao's zither playing had drawn the displeasure of the young ladies.

Mu Xinyao gradually calmed down, secretly thinking about Mu Xinnuan's words at the inn, "It's detrimental to the family's reputation," and felt a surge of resentment in her heart!

After Mu Xin Nuan finished speaking, Mu Xin Yao couldn't hold back anymore. She raised her little face, her eyes red, and said with extreme grievance, "Father, it was the Fourth Prince who said he wanted to listen to the zither first. Does that mean I have to disobey the Fourth Prince's wishes?"

Mu Chang'an thought about it and agreed; it was the Fourth Prince's will, and Mu Xinyao had no choice. But at this moment, Mu Qingxuan muttered softly, "How dare you say that? The Fourth Prince clearly said he wanted to hear Eldest Sister play the zither. Who told you to rush to play?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Chang'an glanced at his eldest daughter, then at Mu Qingyuan, and asked, "Qingyuan, you tell me what exactly happened?"

Mu Qingyuan glanced at his two elder sisters and whispered, "Father, my eldest sister did not tell the truth earlier."

Mu Xinyao was secretly delighted. It seemed that her younger brother was indeed her brother, and he would still side with her in this crucial moment. Mu Xinnuan, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, showing no change in her emotions.

“Uh, that’s not right either!” Mu Qingyuan scratched his head and said, “It should be said that the eldest sister concealed the fact that the Fourth Prince had asked her to play the zither. At first, the Fourth Prince said that he wanted to hear the eldest sister play the zither, but before the eldest sister could speak, the second sister said that she had just learned a piece called ‘Ode to Plum Blossom’ and wanted to play it for the Fourth Prince.”

Mu Chang'an frowned. He was in the next private room and had naturally heard the piece, but he hadn't expected it to be played by his own daughter! After all, there was no zither in that room, and the siblings hadn't brought one with them when they went out. So, he hadn't expected that the piece they were playing today, which sounded like a love song, "Ode to Plum Blossoms," was actually played by Mu Xinyao!

"Xinyao, is what your brother said true?"

Mu Xinyao was secretly annoyed. She glared at Mu Qingyuan hatefully, then knelt down with a thud, only crying and saying nothing.

Mu Xin Nuan knew that her crying, without making any further explanation, had greatly calmed her father's anger!

“Father, I originally intended to refuse the Fourth Prince. After all, it was a teahouse, not the residence of any nobleman. Perhaps the Fourth Prince didn’t consider anything when he said that, but I couldn’t help but think about it. But my second sister spoke first, so I couldn’t refuse anymore. However, my sister is still young, so I don’t think it will cause any gossip.”

The children couldn't understand what was wrong with what he said, but Mu Chang'an did!

What do you mean, "too young"? If he were truly young, how dare he play "Ode to Plum Blossoms" in a teahouse in the bustling city? Moreover, who is the Fourth Prince? He is the apple of the Emperor and Empress's eye! He is the Emperor and Empress's youngest son, a legitimate royal heir!

He was just a minor Vice Minister of Works. If word got out, people might say some nasty things. They might say he was currying favor with the Fourth Prince and was only after wealth and power. That would be the best he could say!

If it were to evolve further, it might completely change its meaning by the time it reaches the Crown Prince!

Mu Chang'an grew increasingly alarmed and frightened as he thought about it! It seemed that he was just a concubine's daughter who played a tune on the zither outside, which only attracted criticism or jealousy from a few young ladies. But in reality, the trouble it caused him was far greater!

Having lived two lives, Mu Xin Nuan naturally sensed her father's worry. With a wink, Mu Qing Xuan took her younger brother's hand and went outside, while she herself signaled for someone to help Mu Xin Yao up and wait in the corridor for her father's decision.

Only the father and daughter remained in the room. Mu Xin Nuan bowed and asked, "Father, are you worried about the trouble that today's events may have caused?"

Mu Chang'an rubbed his temples. "Does Anuan have any good ideas?"

"Father need not worry. Just speak and act normally! His Highness the Crown Prince is a reasonable person and would never doubt you over such a trivial matter."
