The carefree sixth prince, my father respectfully invites me to ascend the throne.

"I heard that group of people came for Mu Jinse, but unfortunately Mu Jinse ran too fast and we couldn't track her down."

Yang Ling raised an eyebrow and curled her lips into a smile: "Mu Jinse will be fine."

"Huh?" The guard looked up in surprise. "Your subordinate is dull-witted."

“If she really dies, the Mu family will definitely come after me. After all, I have a close relationship with Mu Jinse, and she is my junior sister. How can I just watch her die? I will not sit idly by!”

The guard was stunned: "Master, aren't we going to kill her this time?"

"Why would I kill her?" Yang Ling shrugged. "She is Mu Jinse's daughter, so she is destined to serve her. If she wants to die, let her die."

Anyway...

What did her death have to do with him?

"Yes, master."

The guard lowered his head and respectfully responded.

"Also..." Yang Ling pondered for a while, "Send some people to protect Mu Ya. I always feel that this girl is too stubborn, and I'm worried that she might do something stupid."

The guard was taken aback and asked, "Master, although Miss Muya is willful and capricious, she will not harm others."

"What do you know?" Yang Ling glanced at the guards. "I'm just having people keep an eye on her. If she does anything to harm the Mu family or any member of the Mu family, kill her immediately!"

He must save the Mu family.

Even if he hates Mu Jinse!

"Furthermore, Mu Ya has bullied Yun Shang quite a bit over the years. Since she dared to humiliate my people, I must seek justice!"

"Yes, master."

Yang Ling narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze turning cold.

He's determined to marry Yunshang! Anyone who stands in his way will be destroyed!

……

Mu family.

As soon as Mu Ya entered the courtyard, she saw the woman standing there.

Mu Ya was taken aback: "Auntie, you were looking for me?"

Mu Jinse turned to look at Mu Ya, her brows furrowing slightly: "Ya'er, you don't need to follow that man anymore. From now on, you will stay in the Mu family and wait for your wedding."

"Auntie, why won't you help me?"

"Ya'er, you are the eldest daughter of the Mu family, with a noble status. Your marriage naturally requires the consent of your parents and the words of a matchmaker."

Mu Jinse gave a bitter smile. The old folks in the Mu family had always disliked her, a concubine's daughter, so why would they be willing to arrange her marriage?

"But Aunt, my cousin is no ordinary person. He is the son of the Prince of Zhennan and a martial arts master," Mu Ya gritted her teeth. "He is more worthy of me than any other young master from a noble family! I only beg you, Aunt, to help me snatch my cousin away!"

A look of determination flashed across her eyes.

She refused to believe that with Mu Jinse's looks, she couldn't win over a man!

No matter how extraordinary Yang Ling was, he couldn't resist the charm of a beautiful woman, especially since she was quite attractive.

Mu Jinse's face turned ashen, and she snorted coldly, "How could our Mu family possibly arrange a marriage with a merchant? Don't even think about it!"

Mu Ya's expression changed, and she clenched her fists tightly: "Auntie, I don't care, this is my only hope, you must help me!"

Mu Jinse's face turned ashen: "Ya'er, whatever you want to do, I will support you, but I have a piece of advice for you: the Yang family is not suitable for you."

Her words were cruel, but they were the truth.

“Yang Ling and I have known each other since childhood, and he can be considered my friend. That’s why I wanted to win him over and get his help. But he refused and looked at me warily, so I had no choice but to back down.”

Mu Ya looked blankly at Mu Jinse, puzzled: "Aunt, what did you say?"

Mu Jinse indifferently withdrew her gaze: "What I mean is, you and Yang Ling are not suitable. You absolutely cannot marry into the Yang family, otherwise you will destroy the entire Mu family!"

Mu Ya's eyes widened in surprise: "But Yang Ling is the son of the Prince of Zhennan!"

The Prince of Zhennan is the most powerful person in the royal family. If she marries Yang Ling, she will be the Princess Consort of Zhennan!

Such a status is more than enough to match her.

“Yang Ling is indeed the son of the Prince of Zhennan, but he is born out of wedlock,” Mu Jinse said sarcastically, “The Prince of Zhennan’s mansion has more than just him as a son.”

"You mean the Princess Consort of Zhennan?" Mu Ya was stunned. "But isn't she good to my cousin?"

Mu Jinse chuckled twice: "She is quite good to her cousin, but she doesn't like illegitimate sons, especially Yang Ling, because he is an illegitimate child."

"But my cousin is exceptionally talented and has a bright future! Aunt, I don't want to marry a good-for-nothing!"

"Ha!" Mu Jinse laughed. "There are plenty of people with extraordinary talent, but no matter how extraordinary their talent, in the end, they are still trampled underfoot by others!"

These people are all useless.

But Muya actually thinks these good-for-nothings are amazing!

Mu Ya lowered her eyes, concealing the ruthlessness within them.

"I'm not resigned to this. I'm not resigned to living my whole life as a good-for-nothing."

Looking at the distraught Mu Ya, Mu Jinse's eyes showed pity: "Ya'er, you should go back first. Your father doesn't allow me to interfere in the Mu family's affairs. I will handle this matter for you, so you don't need to worry."

Mu Ya bit her lip, her eyes reddening: "Auntie..."

"Okay, go back quickly."

Mu Ya knew that once Mu Jinse made up her mind, no one could change it. Not wanting to stay any longer and embarrass herself, she turned away angrily and returned to the Mu family with a belly full of grievances.

As soon as I entered, I saw Mu Ling coming towards me.

"Third sister!"

Mu Ling quickly walked up to Mu Ya, a gentle smile spreading across his handsome face. He reached out and patted her head: "You're back. You must be exhausted today?"

Mu Ya's lips twitched a few times, and she impatiently slapped the man's hand away.

"Third sister, what's wrong?" Mu Ling looked at Mu Ya in surprise.

Mu Ya pursed her lips and remained silent.

She couldn't very well tell Mu Ling that she had been frightened to tears by Yang Ling, which was why she had rushed back to the mansion.

Mu Ling frowned, her gaze grave: "Third sister, you've been wronged. I've already arranged for people to go and settle accounts with those bastards tomorrow!"

"No need!" Mu Ya shook her head, her eyes dark. "I made this decision on my own. It's not their fault. I forced them to agree."

Mu Jinse's attitude has already shown that she will not make decisions for her.

"Third Sister!" Mu Ling's face darkened. "You're too kind. If you can't bear to hurt those people, they won't be grateful to you."

“Brother,” Mu Ya smiled, “these people have been unkind to me, how can I be unkind to them?”

Mu Ling sighed, her eyes filled with worry.

"Third sister, don't worry, I'll send men to arrest those bastards tomorrow!"

"Hmm," Mu Ya nodded, "Big brother, I'm sleepy and want to go to sleep."

"Okay, you go and rest first. Remember to call me if you need anything."

Mu Jinse glanced at Mu Ya, then turned and walked into the house.

As Mu Ya watched Mu Jinse's disappearing figure, her gaze gradually hardened.

"Second sister, I won't lose, I will succeed!"

The next day.

After finishing her morning exercise, Yang Lingchen prepared to go to the inn to find Gu Shi.

As soon as I opened the door, I heard a quarrel coming from next door.
