Chapter 26 Shooting yourself in the foot

Mu Qingqing was punished, but it was just house arrest, which was not a serious punishment. She didn't even have to attend the palace banquet.

A few days later, on New Year's Eve, everyone in General Mu's mansion was in motion. Except for Mu Qingqing who was still sleeping in, everyone else wore new clothes and prepared to attend the palace banquet.

Madam Mu was in a bad mood, with a gloomy face, and ignored everyone along the way.

When they arrived at the palace, many women came up to her and wanted to make some sarcastic remarks, but they were all retorted by Madam Mu.

Mu Qingqian followed Madam Mu all the time, and came forward to support her from time to time.

Some people sighed that the two young ladies of the Mu family are really like heaven and earth, one is spoiled to the extreme, and the other is so sensible.

Now, if something happens in the Mu Mansion, the news will spread quickly throughout the capital, and many families will use it as a negative example.

Even the emperor would feel happy every time he heard it.

Prince Han sat in the position below His Majesty, and opposite him were several princes of the Emperor, and after them were General Mu and other close ministers.

Mu Qingqing has been making such a big fuss recently, so King Han naturally knew the news.

When Chen Yao told his master about it, he was completely trying to smear the person.

Unexpectedly, the master was not angry, but laughed instead.

"This girl is quite clever!"

Chen Yao's eyes almost rolled out of his head. "Master, your tinted glasses are too obvious. It's over. When a man pays too much attention to a woman, it must be interesting."

Chen Yao doesn't like that stupid woman Mu Qingqing at all. Recently he has been asking people to secretly collect portraits of beautiful women. Maybe one of them will catch his master's eye.

Prince Han held the wine glass and watched His Majesty laughing and teasing General Mu. General Mu had a gloomy face and looked frustrated, wanting to get angry but not daring to, which made him laugh.

Everyone in the Mu family is very smart. Look at those young masters. Even Madam Mu occasionally rolls her eyes and looks at General Mu in anger.

"I am a bad steward. I am a bad steward."

Madam Mu wanted to go up and give him a beating, it was so stupid.

Several sons were being harassed by someone, and the other party was being sarcastic. Several of them had a common goal and fought back.

At this point, everyone realized that the Mu family doted on their daughter excessively. Except for General Mu who hated her for not fighting for her, everyone else treated Mu Qingqing as a idol.

This is strange, because other families prefer boys to girls, but his family is the opposite.

But there were also normal people. Mu Qingqian blinked her big innocent eyes and said that her sister didn't mean it, while covering her hands from time to time to feel the pain.

When someone asked her about it, she looked at Mrs. Mu with tears in her eyes and said that her sister didn't mean it.

Everyone knew what happened when Mu Qingqing caused trouble at the girls' school. Many young ladies from noble families were injured, including Mu Qingqian.

When it came to the singing and dancing segment, there were usually many girls performing, but this time it was surprisingly quiet.

One of the ministers could not help but say, "Your Majesty, Miss Mu overturned the girls' school that day, and I sprained my waist, so I really can't dance!"

"And my sister's hand was cut, so she can't perform the piano!"

As they watched the officials making excuses for their daughters, sisters, and nieces, the girls lowered their heads and dared not look at His Majesty.

Mrs. Mu, feeling somewhat guilty at being glared at, lowered her head and took a sip of tea, while General Mu wished he could leave the table and go back to give Mu Qingqing a beating.

His Majesty laughed out loud, "Ms. Mu is a true person, she didn't mean it. You don't have to perform today, we can just watch the show."

After that day, Mrs. Mu came in person with gifts to apologize. Although she saved some face, Mu Qingqing's reputation was completely spread out.

By the way, Mu Qingqing is thirteen years old now, so it’s time to discuss marriage, right?
Those who had intended to marry into the Mu family before, now dared not talk to Madam Mu. If they were targeted, how could they refuse? They did not want to marry a troublemaker. This was exactly what Mu Qingqing wanted.

When everyone came back from the palace and saw Mu Qingqing, General Mu immediately frowned and asked, "How dare you come to eat?"

Mu Qingqing retorted, "Why not? Today is New Year's Eve, and you won't even let me eat the reunion dinner?"

General Mu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. How could his daughter become so disobedient when she used to be so well-behaved?
They are all ladies, and they looked at Madam Mu with resentment.

Madam Mu ignored him and pulled Mu Qingqing, "Ignore your father, let's make dumplings later."

Seeing General Mu being humiliated, his two daughters-in-law covered their mouths and laughed. General Mu had no choice but to hold his two grandchildren and set off fireworks in the yard.

Mu Qingqian didn't see Mu Qingqing being punished, and felt uncomfortable, but she could only smile and make dumplings with everyone, then have a reunion dinner, set off fireworks and firecrackers, and New Year's money was indispensable.

Mu Qingqing also gave each of her two nephews a small gold lock. When Mu Qingqian saw this, she could only give each of them some New Year's money.

At this New Year's Eve dinner, everyone was very happy except General Mu who was drinking alone.

Mu Jingyi poured a glass of wine and a cup of tea for his younger sister, "Little sister, I'll toast you."

I respect you for being so sensible. For the sake of a few unpromising brothers, you are willing to hide yourself and bear the infamy.

Mu Qingqing knew what big brother meant, and clinked glasses with him with a smile, "Thank you, big brother."

Next came Mu Jingyang and Mu Jingchao, and everyone toasted.

General Mu was a little drunk and didn't notice anything unusual at the dinner table. Although Mu Qingqian was jealous, this matter was started by her brothers. If she told others about it, would it make her seem immature?
Madam Mu was also very distressed about her daughter. She choked up while picking up some food for Qingqing, "Yes, Qingqing, don't you like jewelry? It's just right for your third brother to earn money for you. Earn a lot of money, and I'll give it all to you in the future."

Mu Jingchao nodded quickly, "Yes, little sister, from now on, leave everything to Third Brother. Look how much money Third Brother will make for you."

Mu Qingqing smiled and nodded.

Master Lu was the only outsider at the table. She said nothing, but the Mu family would not forget her and would offer her a glass of wine from time to time.

Mu Qingqian forced a smile and found the meal tasteless.

I always feel that the people in the Mu Mansion are different. Each of them is weird, but they are harmonious everywhere.

After dinner, they stayed up all night. General Mu got drunk and was sent to his room.

All the members of the Mu family were here except for the sister-in-law and young nephew. Mu Qingqian suddenly looked sad, "Mom, I'm going to bed first. I miss my parents."

She wanted to say it at this moment to annoy everyone present.

Unfortunately, her wish did not come true. "Go ahead. Take some time after the New Year to visit their graves. That's thoughtful of you."

Mu Qingqian's expression froze and her face twisted instantly. She felt disgusted by burning paper for the dead during the New Year.

Is it okay to stay now?
"Okay, Mom, I'll go down first."

Looking at the man's pale face, Mu Qingqing couldn't help laughing. She wanted to annoy others, but she ended up annoying herself. What was this? Shooting herself in the foot?
Seeing his little sister laughing happily, Mu Jingyi tapped her head with his fingertips, "What are you laughing at? So happy?"

"nothing!"

Several people sat together and talked about the future path, and what Mu Qingqing wanted to achieve and how to do it.

Mu Jingchao suddenly asked, "What should we do with Mu Qingqian? Are we going to watch her step on you to get to the top?"

He can't bear to see Mu Qingqian doing well now.

Mu Qingqing snorted, "Of course not. If I don't live well, she won't live well either."
