"Mother, son, tell the truth. The greatest responsibility of why Chen Bi caused the consequences today lay with herself. Even if the Yu Clan was at fault, it's only a small mistake. Why would they need to suffer such a heavy punishment? "
Although Mu Xiangguo had an extremely calm personality and rarely argued with others, he was not a person without a temper.
Since Mu Taijun hadn't changed his mind due to their kind words, he was still angered.
"Moreover, even if you want to deal with this matter, why are there only punishment? "Isn't it true that the person who should be educated the most should be the one who would do such a thing?"
On this matter, even though Mu Xiangguo believed Jiang Chenbi's words and believed that she had been forced to do so by Han Xiangyuan, he still had a bad impression of her.
After all, she was a lady who had been raised in a noble family. Even though she had been drugged, Meng Lang's behavior was still an extremely humiliating matter.
Mu Taijun was immediately silenced by Mu Xiangguo. She didn't think that the Mu Clan would contradict her mother because of the Yu clan. Her emotions, which she had finally managed to calm down with great difficulty, were once again stirred.
"You! Deep Jade was just an ignorant child. This matter must have been caused by someone else. She didn't do anything wrong. Why should I punish her? "
Mu Chengbai rose from his seat and bowed to Mu Taijun. He lowered his head and said solemnly, "Mother, in our son's heart, the Yu Family did not commit any heinous crimes. We need to make her kneel in front of the ancestral hall."
Having said so, Mu Chengbai turned around and walked toward the door. Everyone present was shocked by this action. They didn't expect the filial Mu Chengbai, who was known for his filial piety, would do such a thing.
Mu Yu Ting reacted very quickly. After saluting Mu Taijun, she chased after Mu Xiangguo and headed towards the ancestral hall.
There were two attendants standing guard at the entrance of the ancestral hall. When they saw Mu Chengbai rushing over with a threatening attitude, they became timid and did not dare to stop him.
However, they couldn't do anything as they were afraid that Mu Taijun would punish them for their lack of work. They swallowed their saliva and braced themselves to step forward to block the entrance. "Master, you can't go in."
Mu Xiangguo glanced at the two attendants as he sent a strong pressure towards them. "What? Who gave you the guts to stop me?"
The two servants trembled, but they still held on. "Master, the Grand Lord ordered that only those who have obtained her permission are allowed to enter. No one else is allowed to enter."
"Hmph." At this time, Mu Yu Ting also followed along, snorting coldly, "What are you saying? Is daddy an outsider in your hearts? Could it be that right now, father's authority is not as great as you two? "
The two attendants were groaning in their hearts. They were only a guard who followed the orders, so how did they get involved in this dispute?
"What? Are you guys really planning to rebel?" Mu Yu Ting saw that the two attendants didn't move and her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. A dangerous aura was constantly emitted from her body.
"This servant doesn't dare!" The two attendants hurriedly knelt down. They could not afford the high hat. Compared to the pressure that Mu Taijun had exerted, they were even more afraid of Mu Qiantang.
Mu Yu Ting glanced at the two attendants and then looked worriedly at Mu Xiangguo. "Daddy, it's not worth wasting time with them here. Mother has already knelt for an entire day, let's quickly go in and bring her out. "
Mu Xiangguo nodded as he thought about Yu Qingye's condition. Worry flashed across his eyes as well. He hastily pushed open the doors to the ancestral hall and entered.
"Master." When Yu Qingye saw Mu Chengbai barging in from outside, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes. "Why are you here?"
Mu Xiangguo's complexion turned slightly pale as he saw the night. His forehead was covered in cold sweat as the tender feelings in his heart began to surge. He quickly stepped forward and pulled Yu Qing Wan up from the ground. His tone couldn't help but soften.
"It's late, we've been tired all day. Let's go back and rest."
Yu Qingye and Mu Xiangguo looked at each other for a moment. They had already guessed the ins and outs of the matter, and their minds were slightly moved. The corner of her mouth curved into a faint smile as she shook her head.
"Prime Minister, I'm fine. I can still kneel here for a while, don't worry about me."
Mu Taijun had never been happy at night, but now that Mu Xiangguo had forcefully taken her out of the ancestral hall, the relationship between Mu Chengbai and Mu Taijun would most likely be at a standstill.
Mu Xiangguo stared at Yu Qing Wan's glimmering eyes. Naturally, he guessed her reason for rejecting his offer. He felt his heart ache as he tightened his grip on her. With an unquestionable expression, he said, "Qing Ye, let's go."
If Mu Xiangguo didn't even have the right to protect his beloved girl, what ability would he have to be the Prime Minister of a country?
The two of them had just reached the door when they saw Mu Taijun, supported by the crowd, walking towards them with an ugly expression on her face. "Evil son, you actually dare to contradict me because of this sinful woman!"
"Mother, just like my son said. Even if the Yu clan was guilty, it wasn't a heavy crime. Her housekeeper was at a disadvantage and did not seal off the good news. It is enough to punish her to kneel in the ancestral hall for one day. " Mu Xiangguo stood in front of Qing Ye, his voice neither servile nor overbearing.
"If mother wants to continue punishing her, her son will be punished as well. After all, the reason the Yu Clan would do something wrong and anger their mother is because their son isn't strict with them. "
Mu Chengbai and Mu Taijun looked at each other for a few seconds. Even though Mu Taijun was trembling in anger, he couldn't go against Mu Chengbai's words. This made them unhappy, so they had no choice but to compromise.
Watching Yu Qing Wan gradually disappear into the distance under the protection of the Mu siblings, a dark light flashed across Mu Taijun's eyes. She felt even more disgusted with Yu Qing Ye.
During the night, Mu Taijun was still unable to sleep because of the incident that happened during the day. When the night jade saw this, she served him a cup of Spirit Calming Tea. "Why do you feel unhappy about that, Grand Master?" "Be careful and make sure your body is in trouble."
Mu Taijun sipped her tea and snorted coldly. Her mind was still preoccupied with Mu Xiangguo contradicting her. "The son that I raised with great difficulty is actually going to quarrel with me for this wretched, jealous woman!"
Yu Qingye, this vixen, had done a lot to sow discord between them. However, he didn't know what bewitching soup she had given to Mu Xiangguo to make him lose his head.
"Grand Monarch, if Madam makes a mistake because of this, it would not be good for your reputation. Master must be taking your reputation into account."
After being with Mu Taijun for so many years, she naturally knew her well. With just a few words, she had successfully coaxed her into slumber.
CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE WARNING OF DISEASE
"Qianting, when Daddy goes to the court in a bit, Mom will ask you to take good care of him." Mu Xiangguo lovingly caressed Mu Yu Ting's head, a deep doting look in his eyes.
Mu Yu Ting nodded. She stretched out her hand to help Mu Xiangguo tidy up his clothes and comforted him, "Dad, don't worry. I will definitely take good care of mother with my daughter here."
Actually, Mu Chengbai didn't need to tell her that she would do the same thing.
"Daddy is relieved to hear that." Mu Xiangguo looked at Mu Yu Ting with a hint of gratification in his eyes. It turned out that unknowingly, his daughter had already grown up, and was able to start to take up the challenge.
"Alright father, it's getting late. You should hurry up and leave!" Mu Yu Ting waited until Mu Xiangguo's horse carriage had left before returning to her mansion.
As soon as Mu Yu Ting stepped into the courtyard, she heard Jiang Chen's voice coming from the room. She couldn't help but pause for a second, and her eyebrows raised slightly.
Why did Jiang Chen come to visit the Qing Ye at this hour? Was she not afraid that being too intimate with the Qing Wan would attract the hatred of Mu Taijun? Or could it be that she came here to make Mu Taijun's hatred towards Qing Wan rise to a higher level?
"Miss, what's wrong?" When the Blue Luan saw Mu Xuanyin suddenly stop in her tracks, it looked at her in confusion. A trace of worry could be seen in its eyes.
Earlier, the Blue Luan had heard Jiang Chen's voice as well. It was obvious that she was afraid that Mu Luting would be unwilling to enter because of Jiang Chen.
Mu Yu Ting shook her head, indicating to the Blue Luan that she was fine. She restrained the emotions in her heart, and with a faint smile, she lifted her foot and walked into the room.
"Mother, what is little sister talking about with you?"
Hearing Mu Lutong's voice, Jiang Chen immediately walked towards her and intimately held her arm, "Big sister, I heard that First Madam's body isn't very well, so I found a doctor for her."
Mu Yu Ting looked in the direction that Jiang Chen had pointed. As expected, she saw a doctor standing on the side with his head lowered. Noticing Mu Yuting's gaze, he hurriedly bowed to her.
Mu Yu Ting glanced at the imperial physician in front of her. She could see that he wasn't some common doctor of the imperial household. His appearance was ordinary, and he looked extremely ordinary.
In his previous life, Yu Qingye was also sick at this time. Because at that time, her relationship with Yu Qing Wan was not that good, the two of them seemed cold and distant like strangers, so she did not understand this.
In her memory, she only remembered that Jiang Chen was also the doctor that Jiang Chen found for Yu Qing Wan. However, she did not expect that Yu Qing Ye's illness would be so severe that he did not seem to have improved after a few years and even died two years later.
Jiang Chen noticed Mu Qiusheng's gaze and guessed what she was thinking, "Big sister, don't worry. This doctor was the one who treated little sister's body in the past. His medical skills are outstanding and reliable."
Mu Yu Ting nodded and shifted her gaze away from the doctor. The people who helped Jiang Chen treat his body were all found by Mu Xiang and had excellent medical skills.
In her previous life, Jiang Chen had gotten Yu Qing Ye's good opinion of him through this matter, and he treated her like his own from then on. Presumably, the reason she was doing this was only to get a good impression of him.
"The person my sister invited is naturally reliable. "It's just that my sister was so considerate for my mother, to the point where it seems like I am indifferent towards my mother." Mu Yu Ting escaped from Jiang Chen's arms without leaving a trace, and then sat down beside Yu Qing Ye.
She pretended to shake hands with Qing Wan, but in reality, she helped her take a pulse. She was sure that she was just overworked from yesterday, and that her body was a little weak. She was fine with everything else, so she let out a sigh of relief.
"How can big sister be jealous of little sister?" Jiang Chen pulled back his stiff and empty hand and smiled as he sat down in front of her.
"My sister knew that the eldest wife had always been at loggerheads with the matriarch, so she asked for a doctor to help her. "Firstly, I can use my unhealthy health as a reason to not pay respects to the Grand Emperor and secondly, I can avoid being punished for angering him."
"As expected from my little sister. I should really learn from my little sister in this aspect." Mu Yu Ting leaned on Qing Wan's chest, looking at Jiang Chen Bi Chen with a smile in her eyes.
In the eyes of outsiders, the two of them looked like a pair of sisters who had a very good relationship with each other. They were kind, so how could they have imagined that their hearts were surging with emotions?
"However, little sister can't just care about mother's body. You should care more about your own body." The smile on Mu Yu Ting's face became even more obvious, and a trace of calculation flashed in her eyes.
Jiang Chenbi didn't notice that something was wrong with Mu Qiantang. She thought that Mu Yuting's words were purely due to concern for her. "Thank you elder sister for your care. I will definitely take good care of my body."
"Then little sister will practice the five birds' play that I taught you a few times." The smile in Mu Yu Ting's eyes became wider. However, this smile didn't reach her eyes, "I only taught my sister Hu last time. I haven't taught the other four beasts yet."
Jiang Chen thought to himself, "Isn't Jiang Chen in good spirits?" Then she would help her vent her remaining strength and see if she still had the strength to use her brain.
"There's no need to trouble elder sister about this!" When Jiang Chen saw Mu Lutang about to stand up from her chair, he hurriedly stood up, "I still have other things to do. I'll come again another day to accompany the First Wife and Big Sis!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she jumped into the house along with Dong Ping, afraid that Mu Qiuting would capture her and continue her practice. The humiliation of pretending to be a wild beast crawling on the ground was something she would never experience again in her life!
Jiang Chenbi walked out of the courtyard and headed for Mu Taijun's room. She remembered that she now had a backer by her side, so she couldn't help but straighten her back a lot. "I will definitely make you pay for the hardships I've suffered in the past few days."
Yu Qingye had been sitting silently at the side the entire time. She watched as the wind blew between Mu Yuting and Jiang Chenbi, but did not interrupt. It was only after Jiang Chen had watched her leave that she caressed Mu Yuting's hair tenderly. Just as she was about to open her mouth to speak, she was interrupted by Mu Qiuting.
Mu Yu Ting looked at Yu Qing Wan and glanced at the doctor who was standing not far away.
Yu Qingye quickly understood what she meant, and turned to look at the doctor, nodding slightly, "Doctor, you should go back first, you can check my pulse in the morning."
The doctor breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the medicine box beside him, and bowed to the two before leaving Yu Qing's courtyard.
Seeing that the imperial physician had left, there were no outsiders left in the room, only the mother and daughter pair. However, you must be careful of the people Jiang Chen and Bi'er send here. "
