There were tears in Jiang Chen's eyes, making her look delicate and pitiful, "Bi'er was even more muddle-headed about that matter, please forgive me sister."
"Sister, why must you say that? I naturally believe that you are innocent." Mu Yu Ting revealed a sincere expression, but she was actually laughing inside.
Wasn't it just playing emotional cards? Who wouldn't know that?
"Bi'er was drunk. She misjudged the Third Marquis' hurtful older sister and was determined to not let her older sister be affected by the vicious people. She did not think that she would cause her older sister any damage to her reputation, so she shouted."
Mu Taijun didn't say anything. He just sipped the tea in his hand, unable to read his thoughts. "Continue speaking. Then why do you keep trying to bring this bad reputation onto Qiantang again and again?"
She was old, but not stupid. Yesterday, Jiang Chen had brought the public opinion against Mu Yuting more than once, and he had even been scolded by Mu Xiangguo.
"Bi'er is really confused about this matter. In order to save some face, I have to subconsciously deny the truth." Crystalline tears slowly rolled down her face. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Mu Qiuting.
"Sister, please forgive Bi'er this time, alright?" Her voice was earnest, and even more piteous because of her sobs, as if refusing her request was a crime.
Mu Yu Ting nodded, "I will naturally forgive my sister for her unintentional actions. After all, it's only human nature. It's already good enough for my sister to be brave enough to say so."
Mu Taijun sighed. She raised her gaze towards Jiang Chen Bi Bi, the look in her eyes gentler than ever. "Since you've sincerely admitted your wrongs, and Baiting forgave you, then let's let this matter pass."
Jiang Chenbi noticed the change in Mu Taijun's expression and was delighted. She hurriedly thanked him. "Grand Emperor, your mother isn't feeling well. Bi'er won't be accompanying you right now. Why don't you go visit your mother first?"
With Mu Taijun's permission, Jiang Chen and Dong Ping thanked each other several times before heading to the courtyard Madame Jiang lived in.
"Mother, daughter is back." Jiang Chen's eyes were downcast, and his face had a faint look of sorrow written on it.
Seeing this, Madame Jiang's heart tightened. She got up from her seat and faced Jiang Chen. "Bi'er, didn't you ask for Mu Taijun's forgiveness? Why did you show such an expression? Did you encounter some difficulty?"
"Mother!" Immediately, Jiang Chen threw himself into Madame Jiang's arms, sobbing softly. He looked extremely wronged.
When Madame Jiang heard her sobbing, it was as if she had been enduring it for a long time. Her heart clenched, and she could only gently caress Jiang Chen's back, saying gently, "What's wrong, Bi'er, be good and tell mother. Mother will definitely think of a way to help you deal with it."
Jiang Chen's sobs gradually died down. It was as if he was trying to suppress the emotions in his heart.
"Mother, Bi'er just apologized to the Emperor. She did not expect to meet her elder sister there. At first, the Grand Master wanted to forgive Bi'er, but he was angered by his elder sister's words. "Bi'er doesn't know what to do. I don't know why elder sister is always against me …"
Jiang Chen took a peek at Madame Jiang. Seeing that her face was quite dark, he chuckled to himself, but still maintained a pitiful appearance, "Mother, elder sister also said that the eldest lady should tell her not to touch me again on this matter. She also said that I …"
Saying this, Jiang Chen once again choked with sobs. Her words made it easy for people to imagine.
"Bi'er, in order to stabilize her position, Mu Qiushan started to curry favor with Mu Taijun. As long as she can get a good impression of him, I think she can try any method." "Just encourage her so that she can make Mu Taijun's favorite food everyday and send it over."
Madame Jiang muttered to herself irresolutely before a dark glint appeared in her eyes. "At that time, as long as you do something with your food, you can easily destroy two enemies."
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up. As expected, he still had to ask for Madame Jiang's opinion on this matter. After all, the older Jiang Chen was, the more shrewd he would be. "Thank you, mother, for your advice on behalf of my daughter."
"You are my daughter, what is this?" Madame Jiang hugged Jiang Chen Bi tightly. The coldness in her eyes grew as she thought of Jiang Chen's earlier attitude towards Yu Qing Ye.
Yu Qingye, since you are so heartless, don't blame me for being unjust.
"Miss, something bad has happened. I heard that Madame Jiang ran into the eldest wife's room in a rage. Do you think she will have any conflict with the eldest wife?" The Blue Luan hurriedly ran into the house and looked at Mu Qiantang, clearly a bit worried.
Mu Yu Ting slightly frowned. The brush in her hand paused for a moment. What was Madame Jiang planning to do now? She and Jiang Chenbi were truly a mother and daughter. They only knew how to stir up trouble everyday, and it really did not allow anyone to calm down for even a second.
"Miss, you've finally come. Right now, Madame Jiang is still inside. She chased us all out without knowing what's going on inside. Quickly go and take a look!" Yu Qingye's personal maid Cui Yu's eyes immediately lit up when she saw Mu Yuting.
"How long has it been since Madame Jiang arrived?" Mu Qiushan's brows furrowed even more as she looked at Yu Qingniang.
Cui Yu pondered for a moment before replying, "It should be enough time for an incense stick to burn."
Mu Yu Qing Ting nodded and walked towards Yu Qing Wan's room. Just as she was about to push open the door, she heard Yu Qing Wan's voice from inside: "Little sister, you can't say that. I also think that what she did was wrong."
Mu Yuting's raised hand froze in midair, her eyes lowered as she continued to listen to the conversation in the room.
"Since elder sister knows what she did was wrong, why didn't you discipline her properly? Do you know how much of an impact this has had on our Bi'er? " Madame Jiang laughed coldly a few times. She came first, but did not take in Yu Qing Ye's words.
"Then what does little sister want?"
"My request is very simple. I only want Mu Yuting to apologize to Bi'er in front of everyone and tell everyone the truth!"
Mu Yu Ting's heart tightened. It was as if there was something in her heart that was hooting, and she was looking forward to this answer.
"Alright …"
Mu Qiuting only felt as if her heart had shattered at that moment. Something had been dropped into the abyss, and the pain was suffocating her. The corner of her mouth curled up into a self-deprecating sneer. In the end, she didn't have the strength to push open the door and leave.
It turned out that in her mother's heart, she still resented her over this matter and did not agree with what she said.
"Alright, I agree with that." Yu Qingniang stared fixedly at Madame Jiang, "But you, Jiang Chen, must also apologize in front of everyone!"
"What?" Madame Jiang appeared somewhat surprised.
"Do you really think that I don't know what she did to me? Do you really think that I can let her frame Yutang yesterday? Could it be that Jiang Chen is your treasure, and you don't want me to falsely accuse you?
