C78 Self-inflicted Suffering

Mu Yu Ting was overjoyed. This coincided with her original plan. He didn't think that he would think the same way as the matriarch.

Even though Mu Yu Ting was happy to believe it, her expression was still one of concern. She raised her face to look at Mu Taijun worriedly, "But, my Lord, will this really not affect our family?"

She did think of a way to push Jiang Chen to the abyss, but she didn't want the Mu Manor to harm itself. For such a person, no matter how small of a loss it was, it wasn't worth it.

"Don't worry, if Jiang Chen is willing to take the antidote, then it would be the best way to calm things down. But if I have to take the second option, it doesn't matter. " Mu Taijun's eyes flashed, his gaze filled with dark experience.

Although she was already old, the aura she emitted still caused Mu Qiushan to tremble. This was an aura that was acquired through the accumulation of time and the vicissitudes of life.

Mu Yu Ting slightly frowned. "Why? "My granddaughter is stupid. She still doesn't understand. After all, our younger sister had an accident at the Mu residence. Aren't we going to be criticized by the people here?"

"Then let me ask you," said Mu Taijun, "Were we the ones who forced her to take this medicine?"

Mu Yu Ting shook her head.

Mu Taijun asked again, "Let me ask you, when she was sick, didn't we ask a doctor to look at her carefully? Are we harming her by inviting the royal doctors to treat her illness? "

Mu Yu Ting continued to shake her head.

Mu Yu Ting flicked her forehead, the sternness in her eyes gradually dissipating.

"That's good. We have tried our best to be friendly with her, and what does it have to do with us that she would walk on this path? Instead, we went as far as getting close as possible to her and invited her for an imperial physician. Could it be that we did something wrong? "

"So that's how it is. Looks like granddaughter still needs the monarch's guidance in the future!" The smile on Mu Qiuting's face was as brilliant as the April sun. It was beautiful but not dazzling, making people feel very comfortable when they looked at it.

Mu Taijun's eyes darkened. His last bad impression of Mu Yuting had changed along with this matter. He reached out his hand and patted it, "Alright, I've told you everything I need to say. You'll have to settle the rest yourself."

Mu Yu Ting nodded. She understood that Mu Taijun's guidance was already the greatest help to her.

She helped Mu Taijun up and slowly walked to the door. When she opened the door, she was surprised to see Madame Jiang standing there.

Madam Jiang's face was covered in tears. Perhaps it was because she had been crying all day, but her complexion appeared somewhat pale. Her figure appeared somewhat thin, as if it could easily be blown away by the wind.

"Lan Ting, can you at least tell me the truth now?" Madam Jiang stepped forward and tightly gripped Mu Qiuting's hand. Her voice was very loud, almost sounding like she was shouting. Mu Qiushan estimated that those standing outside the courtyard might have heard her shout.

As expected, another group of servants quickly arrived when they heard the commotion. They stood in the distance and looked in the direction of Lady Jiang and Mu Yuting, whispering something to each other.

"Lan Ting, you are Bi'er's elder sister. We all trust you like this, so you must tell us the truth. "No matter what, Bi'er is your little sister. No matter how many foolish things she did before, she should at least save her life!"

Madame Jiang seemed to be incoherent, but in the eyes of others, it was all because she was concerned about Jiang Chen.

Mu Yu Ting looked at the begging woman in front of her. Once she thought about how disgusting she looked when she was praised by others, the smile on her face became wider.

She said, "Madam, you are wrong. My sister had done some wrong things before, but because she was young and didn't know her place, I didn't put it in my heart. Madam, why do you keep mentioning your sister's mistake to me? "

"I …" Madame Jiang stared blankly for a moment, but her expression quickly returned to normal. "Am I not afraid of your heart?"

"Oh, I see." Mu Yu Ting put on an understanding expression, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became even wider. "Ke Ting even thought that Madam thought it was me who harmed my little sister."

Madame Jiang gave an awkward laugh. "Qiantang, don't let your imagination run wild. How could I suspect you? "

Although Madame Jiang was smiling, her heart was filled with hatred …

It had only been a few years since they last met, why was this girl so eloquent? She remembered the last time she saw Mu Qiushan. She was just a person that was at the mercy of others. She didn't expect her growth to be so fast.

"I know that Madame doesn't have it. It's just a joke. Why are you so nervous, madam? " Mu Yu Ting smiled lightly, but this smile was filled with mockery in Lady Jiang's eyes.

"Lan Ting, don't try to change the subject. Please understand that as a mother, I am extremely concerned about the safety of Deep Jade. " A flash of pain appeared in Madame Jiang's eyes. "Please tell me the truth."

If it wasn't for the circumstances not allowing it, Mu Qiantang really wanted to cry out in admiration for Madame Jiang's acting skills.

With regards to things like the cold poison, how could a woman like Jiang Chen, who didn't even set foot outside the door, possibly have access to it? She didn't believe that Madame Jiang didn't know about this matter.

"My little sister is the mistress's daughter. The madam loves my little sister because she understands." It's just that Madam, why do you have to ask so hard? If Zhu Ting thought that she should tell you, why would she hide it from you? " Mu Yu Ting's delicate eyebrows creased slightly.

"Lan Ting, it doesn't matter if you can't diagnose me, but why do you keep on fooling me with the wrong timing?" Madame Jiang slowly shook her head, as if she had already determined that Mu Qiuting was lying.

"Qian'er, is Chen Bi your child?" Mu Taijun, who had been standing by the side silently all this time, cast a dark glance at Madame Jiang. The good feeling she had towards her was about to be completely wiped away.

Madame Jiang was stunned. She had not expected Mu Taijun to suddenly open his mouth and ask such a stupid question. For a moment, she was at a loss. "Yes …" "Yeah."

Mu Taijun snorted coldly. "Since she's your daughter, how come you don't know her physical condition? Why don't you go and find an outsider to continue asking?"

The sarcasm in her words could not be any more obvious. Madame Jiang's expression immediately changed, her eyes filled with astonishment. "Sovereign, you …"

Mu Taijun had always liked her, so he never used such words to ridicule her!

Mu Taijun didn't even look at her. Her voice was slightly cold as she said, "Evening Jade, let's go."

Mu Yu Ting silently watched the back of the Grand Monarch as he left. Her beautiful eyes narrowed as her mood improved. She praised the words of the Grand Monarch.

It looked like Mu Taijun had already seen the true appearance of the mother and daughter pair. Otherwise, how could he say such things?
