C70 Contention

"Grand Lord, that maidservant was dissatisfied with Miss Mu and purposely poisoned her porridge. What do you think of this matter?" Nightfall lowered her eyes and gently placed her hand on Mu Taijun's shoulder.

She had just told the Grand Monarch about what had happened in Mu Yu Ting's courtyard.

Mingyu readily admitted to her crimes, and Jiang Chenbi easily executed her. But on account of her courage to take responsibility, she ordered that her family be taken care of.

Mu Taijun closed his eyes. There was no trace of happiness or anger on his face. He muttered to himself, "Was that maid really poisoned because she was dissatisfied?"

How much abuse would a maid have to endure by Mu Yu Ting before she could have the idea of poisoning her master? If Mu Yu Ting had really done this before, how come there was no news of her at all?

"Yes, Mingyu did indeed explain it this way." "Mhm." Ning Xuemo nodded slightly. She had followed Mu Taijun all her life, so she could tell that something wasn't right.

Every detail in this matter was worth considering. After all, everything seemed too coincidental.

"Mingyue said that she knew Miss Jiang wanted to demonstrate the art of making medicinal porridge for Miss Mu, so she guessed that Mu Qiuting would go and have a taste of the porridge and use the opportunity to poison her."

"Although the licorice and Gan Zizai are at odds with each other, because the maidservants don't serve much, they are not fatal and need to be eaten before they can do anything. If this maidservant really wanted to kill Mu Qiantang, wouldn't she just directly raise her status? "

If the maidservant wanted to poison Mu Qiushan to death, how could she guarantee that she would eat the congee everyday? Could it be that she could force Mu Ru Yue to eat it?

"Maybe she just has this evil heart and doesn't have the courage to do it? It's just that I want to give Miss Mu some discomfort, not kill her. " After hesitating for a moment, Night Jade slowly said.

Mu Taijun slowly opened his eyes, which were sharp. "Even if the servant girl secretly swapped the herbs, how could Jiang Chenbi not know? When she washed the medicinal herbs and boiled them into porridge, did you not even know that the medicinal herbs were not right? "

Night Jade did not say anything. After all, even she did not believe the reason she had just told him.

"Hmph, this little servant girl was just pulled out to pay for Jiang Chen Bi Bi." Mu Taijun's face turned cold, and the majesty in her eyes sent chills down one's spine.

"Most likely, Jiang Chen Bi wanted to harm me, and Qiushan Ting knew about this, but she didn't stop me. Instead, she called you over and had you pass on this matter to me."

After all, she had spent her entire life in the backyard, so what hadn't she experienced? Even if they hadn't experienced it personally, the number of people who had witnessed it couldn't be counted.

Mu Taijun sighed and said helplessly, "Late Jade, why do you think they want to learn all this? Do sisters not support each other well? "We have to fight to the death like this and kill each other."

When she was old, she only wished for the children under her knee to be harmonious, to be able to live a peaceful and happy life, and to have no other requests.

Seeing the juniors fight like this, Mu Taijun was powerless. There was nothing he could do. He watched as they walked down the same path again and again.

"Grand Monarch, perhaps things are not as you think. I think Miss Mu is a good person." Nightfall said softly as she thought about Mu Yu Ting's sincere appearance in the morning.

After her conversation with the Blue Luan and Mu Yuting in the morning, Night Jade's heart unconsciously turned to Mu Yuting's side.

At that moment, a maidservant hurried in from outside. She bowed and said, "Grand Lord, Miss Mu requests an audience."

Mu Taijun's already slightly creased eyebrows scrunched together. She closed her eyes tiredly, feeling uncomfortable. "Call her back. I'm tired today, so I don't want to deal with all this."

The reason why Mu Qianyu had come over here today was likely because she wanted to add fuel to the fire by making Jiang Chen look like a jade to her face. And right now, the things she didn't want to hear the most were these things.

The maidservant accepted the order and ran out the door in small steps, telling Mu Qiuting about Mu Taijun's orders.

Mu Yu Ting wasn't surprised. She understood that when Mu Taijun heard the news, he must be angry. She lowered her eyes and raised her voice, "Grand Monarch, my granddaughter knows her wrongs. She's here to apologize to you. I hope that the Grand Lord can meet up with my granddaughter. "

Mu Yu Ting's voice was very loud, so much so that even Mu Taijun could hear her clearly from outside. Mu Taijun was stunned. Acknowledge your wrongs?

"Grand Lord, there are too many people outside now. Young miss is after all, the direct descendant of our Mu Clan. If those servants who love to gossip listen in and advertise everywhere, that wouldn't be good. It would damage our Mu Estate's reputation." Although Nightingale was somewhat puzzled by Mu Qiuting's purpose in coming here, she quickly reacted and comforted her softly.

Mu Taijun nodded. "Xianyu, call her in to speak."

Night Jade quickly brought Mu Qiuting in from outside. As soon as they entered, Mu Yu Ting knelt down in front of Mu Taijun, kowtowing heavily and performing a grand bow.

"Grand Monarch, ever since this matter had occurred, my granddaughter had carefully considered it and realized that she had committed a grave mistake."

Mu Taijun's eyes flashed. She looked at Mu Yuting and said coldly, "I don't know what you did wrong. Tell me everything."

Mu Taijun had lived for so long, and had seen countless scheming and scheming, but she had never seen someone stand out and apologize for his actions.

"My granddaughter called Senior Servant over just now. She did indeed do it on purpose. The so-called inviting Senior Servant to taste tea is only for a reason and not a real reason. " Mu Yu Ting lowered her head.

Mu Taijun nodded, but neither happiness nor anger could be seen. "Mm, continue."

"My granddaughter knows that the Grand Monarch still has a little sister in his heart. She is just a little disappointed because she did something wrong recently. My granddaughter can't bear to see the Grand Lord and my younger sister separated because of this. "

Mu Taijun's eyebrows creased. The light in his eyes deepened when he looked at Mu Yuting, but he didn't say anything.

"The reason my granddaughter called Senior Servant Huang over is because she's interested in my being a popular person by Grandmother's side. What I've said has a huge impact on the Grand Monarch." Mu Yu Ting lowered her head, showing a bit of guilt and self-blame.

"So you called Nightjade over to persuade her to let go of her grudge and make peace?" Mu Taijun finally spoke, but her voice was calm, so it was hard to tell what she was thinking.

"Yes, your granddaughter intentionally took advantage of your sister's time while she was preparing a medicinal meal for the Emperor to call you over silently. She wants to see your painstaking efforts, so she can come back and say a few words to you."

Mu Yu Ting looked up at Mu Taijun. Her body was trembling slightly and her tone was extremely sincere. But soon, she lowered her eyes again, looking uneasy.

"However, my granddaughter did not expect that my younger sister would do such a thing and cause a mishap. Instead, my original plan was disturbed."
