"Xiao Qi, don't say anymore. Grandmother will uphold justice for you." The old mistress' face darkened. She coldly interrupted Mu Bingyue's words, saying that it was a fair act, yet her tone was neither light nor heavy. "Men, suppress the Ninth Miss and the Sixth Miss. After three days, the marriage will be released!"
"Grandmother, I'm not convinced. This little slut, she …" "She is a monster. She will make the Mu family restless. Grandmother, you must believe me!" The ninth Miss retorted unwillingly, completely unaware of the madame's painstaking efforts.
Enough! If it wasn't for Mrs Liu who came in and heard your screams, I'm afraid that not only would that lowly man see all of you, but also destroy your innocence. The old mistress hollered.
Mu Bing Yue lowered her head to cover the mockery in her eyes, she wasn't surprised by the madame's words.
She was the one who let Mother Liu in. She only wanted to punish them lightly and not ruin their entire lives.
On the surface, the madame's words were to maintain the fairness and punish the six or nine misses. In fact, it was to protect their reputation. They were all identical granddaughters, so how could there be such a huge difference in treatment?
However, Mu Bing Yue really didn't have much feelings for an old lady she had never met before, so she naturally wouldn't be sad.
After everyone had left, the old lady beckoned Mu Bing Yue over and said gently, "Xiao Qi, I have truly wronged you."
Mu Bing Yue knew that this was just a formality so she tactfully shook her head: "It's alright. Madam, did you sleep well last night? "
At this point, the old mistress' eyes lit up. "I only got up four times last night, and the intervals are very regular too. Your medicine …" That's great! "
Looking at Mu Bingyue's tired and delicate face, she felt that it was a pity. If she wasn't that person's daughter and if she hadn't been born in a coffin, perhaps she would have fallen in love with her as well.
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but say, "Xiao Qi, if your medicine is really useful … Grandmother will see to it that you have a good marriage, what do you think? "
Mu Bing Yue raised her head and looked at the old lady in astonishment.
The old mistress confided in him, "You've grown up in the countryside since you were young. I'm only afraid that you might have the identity of a prince …" It's not something you can match! It's fine if you grow up in the countryside, but you also know that your mother was completely dead when she gave birth to you. You are a child carried in a coffin.
Mu Bing Yue's eyelids jumped as she heard the old lady continue, "To bring you back is your grandfather, which is also the old general's wish. Although you fulfill the conditions of the imperial edict, if the emperor knew of your situation … Because of this, our Mu family will probably be criticized and displeased by the Emperor … A family of subjects that the Emperor doesn't like will never have a future! "
Mu Bing Yue lowered her head, as though she had been taught a lesson. She looked a little wronged, as though she was seriously considering the madame's words.
She knew that given her situation, it wouldn't be so easy to send her to the election. The madame was waiting for her! It was no wonder that the clothes and accessories he used to wash her clothes and makeup were of inferior quality. This was not because he didn't think that she would be chosen, but rather that he was completely unwilling to send her!
It was just that he couldn't change the old tutor's intentions, which was why he put in the effort on the surface!
