C71 What a Fool

After saying this, Mu Qiuting lowered her head, as if she was seriously reflecting on her own fault.

Mu Taijun looked at Mu Yu Ting with a serious expression, not showing any sign of grief or happiness. She didn't say anything and only quietly stared at Mu Yuting, thinking about what she had said in her heart.

"Mu Yuting, answer me honestly. Was what you said true?" The Grand Lord lowered his voice, but that neither fast nor slow voice made everyone's heart tighten.

Mu Yu Ting's eyes remained lowered, her expression calm, and she said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant, "Granddaughter swears to the Grand Emperor that every word that granddaughter said earlier was from the bottom of her heart. If Grandmother doesn't believe me, Granddaughter can swear. "

At this moment, Mu Yu Ting raised her gaze and looked fixedly at Mu Taijun, making eye contact with her for a while.

Mu Yu Ting's hand, which was hidden in her sleeve, was tightly clenched into a fist. Her palm was ice-cold.

Mu Taijun remained silent. She still did not believe Mu Qiusheng's words. After all, this idea was too different from what she had guessed just now. It was also too different from her previous image of Mu Qiusheng.

However, Mu Yu Ting's expression didn't seem like she was lying.

Mu Taijun tilted her head to the side and looked at Nightjade with a questioning expression.

After following the matriarch for so many years, she naturally understood her meaning. She nodded, took a step forward, and spoke softly, "Sovereign, this servant feels that Miss Mu isn't lying. This servant has spoken to her servant in the courtyard, and it's the same as what she said."

Mu Taijun nodded and closed her eyes in thought for a moment. Then, she looked at Mu Luting once again. The sharp look in her eyes had disappeared. "Evening Jade, go and help her up."

Mu Yu Ting was overjoyed upon hearing his words. She understood that he believed her. However, she still maintained a respectful expression on her face, as if she was still blaming herself.

"Qiantang, I won't pursue this matter any further. It can be considered turning the page, but you still have to be careful in the future. I don't want to hear about this sort of thing happening again." Mu Taijun sighed, her expression calming down.

Mu Qiuting walked up and sat down beside Mu Taijun as usual, her small face filled with seriousness. "Yes. Next time, before I, Mu Yuting, speak good words for my little sister, you must be on your guard. Don't make things difficult for me!"

Mu Taijun was stunned. She looked at Mu Qiantang's black eyes that were shining. She didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. This girl usually seemed to be quite smart, but why did she seem so silly at this time? Could it be that she couldn't even tell that someone was trying to frame her?

"You can't have the heart to harm others, but you can't let your guard down. There are some things that you don't want to do, but they can be blamed on you. "

Even though Mu Taijun's body was strong and healthy, he was still a bit old. His mood fluctuated a bit, but he could not catch his breath. Nightingale hastily ordered her maidservant to pour a cup of tea for the Grand Emperor.

Mu Yu Ting blinked and a look of confusion flashed in her eyes, "I understand this logic, but why did Grandmother mention it to me at this time? Is it related to this matter? "

Mu Taijun was originally sipping her tea, but after hearing Mu Qiuting's words, she almost choked on her tea. She gazed at Mu Qiantang's eyes for a few seconds. She saw that there was nothing unusual about it and it didn't seem like she was lying. Helplessness rose in her heart. The anger that had just been suppressed seemed to be provoked once again.

"Qiushan Ting, have you ever thought about why Chen Bi would be so attentive and help you this time? Moreover, why did she do it so coincidentally and even do something to the things you wanted to give me?"

These words of hers were especially obvious. She was just about to directly tell Jiang Chen about the fact that Jiang Chen was harboring evil intentions in his heart and wanted to frame Mu Qiuting.

"Isn't it because of our sisterhood that my sister helped me?" The puzzled expression on Mu Qiuting's face became even more obvious. "As for this matter, it's definitely just a coincidence!"

Mu Taijun looked at Mu Yuting with a disappointed gaze. She actually couldn't say anything for a long time.

She really didn't know whether to say that she was too naïve and believed that everyone in the world was kind. Or should she say that she was too stupid and didn't have any other doubts towards the actions of others?

Xiao Yu was startled and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She noticed that Mu Taijun's expression wasn't right, so she hurried over to help him. She said meaningfully, "Young Mistress has never suspected anyone else before, right?"

Mu Yu Ting hesitated for a second, but quickly shook her head, "I believe in my sister. The relationship between sister and me is so good, why would you think of ways to harm me? It must be that Mammy is overthinking things. "

When Nightfall saw how certain Mu Yu Ting was, his face was full of seriousness, as if he was unwavering in his determination. He suddenly didn't know how to start.

Mu Taijun had originally hoped that her grandson would be more honest and less distracting, but after this conversation with Mu Lutong … His previous thoughts immediately changed.

It turned out that it was not good to be too naive and too trusting of others made him a fool! How could she have such a granddaughter? Even if she was killed by others, no one knew.

"I'm tired, so I won't waste my time talking to you anymore. Go back to your courtyard and think about what I've said today." Mu Taijun rubbed his glabella and felt his heart being blocked by Mu Yuting.

Mu Yu Ting was a little surprised, as if she didn't understand what Mu Taijun was saying. "Then Grand Master should rest well. Your granddaughter will come to see you tomorrow."

As soon as she walked out of Mu Taijun's courtyard, the pure and innocent expression on Mu Qianyu's face completely disappeared. She turned around and looked in the direction of Mu Taijun, a faint smile hanging at the corner of her mouth.

The Grand Lord is a wise man, after all. He sees through everything." It was a rare fortune for her to be able to point out such a similar method to Jiang Chen and make her live in a place like Jiang Chen's.

Just as Mu Yuting left, Mu Taijun choked on her anger a few times. Night Jade quickly patted her back to help ease her anger.

"There's no need to be so angry, it might not be a bad thing for Miss to be so simple." She comforted him slowly.

"It's not a bad thing?" "She grew up in the backyard of this mansion, but she didn't have any intention of defending herself against others. This is the act of courting death."

"Didn't the Grand Master still hope for Miss to obtain more innocence and less scheming? Why did she change her mind now?" A trace of a smile flashed across Nightfall's eyes. The Grand Monarch really did care about Mu Yuting.

If the grand emperor still didn't like Miss Mu, he wouldn't be angered by her lack of comprehension and worry.

"There's a limit to everything, it's not good if you're too naive." The matriarch shook her head, a look of worry flashing across her eyes.

"Then what does the Grand Master intend to do with Miss Jiang? Are we still going to let her continue like this?"

Mu Taijun's eyes darkened. He snorted coldly. "Send someone to keep an eye on her. Don't let her cause any more trouble."
