Chapter 32 Casting a wide net

General Mu was completely panicked. Could it be that his Mu family, which had been loyal for generations, was going to produce a second-generation descendant? And a girl?
In the court, General Mu was secretly laughed at by the emperor, the third prince and the court officials, and his face turned sour.

He rode his horse home in a hurry, and the way he looked seemed as if he wanted to fly back immediately.

The servants and maids watched as General Mu jumped off his horse and ran towards the room where his wife was.

"Ma'am, did you know that Qingqing was whipping people in the street? She is really going too far."

Mrs. Mu raised her eyebrows slightly. Roaring every day will keep you healthy.

"What happened to my Qingqing? What's wrong with beating someone up on the street? Besides, have you ever asked Qingqing why she beat someone up?"

"That man beat his wife and daughter and wanted to sell his daughter. My wife took on customers to pay off his gambling debts!"

"Why, do you want to learn from him? Why don't you try it yourself?"

With every word Madam Mu spoke, she moved a little closer to General Mu.

At first, General Mu seemed to be justified, but later he felt completely guilty.

He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. His wife was still so tough. "My wife, you have wronged me. I dare not hit you. If I hit you, my three sons will not forgive me."

How could he dare to blame Qingqing for beating someone in the street? He just apologized again and again, "I'm sorry, my wife, I was wrong. I shouldn't have blamed Qingqing without asking the reason clearly. Qingqing beat him well. I was not there, otherwise I would have beaten him first."

Yes, if he was there, how could he watch his daughter do it? He would definitely do it himself, and his daughter wouldn't have to bear the blame.

Madam Mu rolled her eyes at him, this fool. She rolled her eyes and continued to act, "My poor Qingqing, that Third Prince is such a piece of shit. And Mu Qingqian, we raised her for thirteen years and gave her all the good things. But in the end, she snatched Qingqing's marriage. What an ungrateful person."

General Mu couldn't help but say, "The Third Prince was not a good person to begin with. It was right that Qingqing didn't get together with him."

Madam Mu grabbed his neck and said, "Do you think I don't know? But our daughter has never wanted anyone else, how could she be played with by others?"

"Your Majesty, you are the same. You fined him three months' salary and confined him for one month. What are you doing? You are just sending him away like a beggar!"

General Mu didn't dare to say anything at all. If his wife asked him to go to His Majesty to reason, he wouldn't dare!

Madam Mu said she was tired and pushed him out, "You sleep in the study today!"

General Mu had a bitter face. He had slept in the study many times recently. He left with his hands behind his back, worried.

He has less and less status in this family.

Madam Mu listened to the footsteps leaving and said to the inside, "Come out!"

Mu Qingqing walked out, looked at Madam Mu and laughed.

"Mom is still the best, she can control Dad!"

Mrs. Mu felt warm in her heart when she thought of General Mu. General Mu was a rare good man.

He is a homebody, doesn't drink wine and doesn't take concubines. His only shortcoming is that he is henpecked, but he is really great with his wife and children.

Madam Mu is truly happy in this life.

People outside heard that General Mu and his wife Mu had a quarrel, and General Mu slept in the study for several days.

Mu Qingqing was not punished at all and was well protected by Madam Mu.

Many people outside say that Madam Mu is confused and does not dare to be as decisive as before. She is overly indulgent towards her children and is actually overpraising them.

General Mu had a straightforward temper, and he could always fight back against all the sarcastic officials in the court.

Even His Majesty was criticized by him in a neither light nor heavy manner.

His Majesty knew that he was in a bad mood, so he was not angry at all. Instead, he comforted General Mu.

There was no war in the court, so General Mu naturally did not need to go to the border, and his sons were all staying well in the capital. On the contrary, Prince Han stayed at the border for several months.

To see the King of Han coming back from the border, the King of Han is the country's god of war, more popular than General Mu, after all, General Mu is old, while the King of Han is noble and good-looking. On the day he returned to Beijing, the streets were lined with people. The King of Han did not show up and stayed in the carriage the whole time.

Chen Yao rode his horse in front, still expressionless.

When they arrived at Prince Han's Mansion, no one dared to watch the fun in front of Prince Han's Mansion.

The gate opened, and Prince Han's carriage drove directly into the yard.

Chen Yao lifted the door curtain, "Your Majesty, we are home."

"okay."

A cold figure jumped down from the carriage. Under the sunlight, his handsome face seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light, sacred and beautiful.

However, King Han’s face was extremely pale, and although he tried his best to keep his body steady, he still almost staggered.

Chen Yao's heart tightened and he wanted to go forward to help, but he pulled his hand back abruptly.

"Your Majesty, we don't have to come back at this time. It doesn't matter if we come back later in the evening!"

Where in Beijing is the border safer? It's just that this time it will take a little longer.
King Han snorted coldly, "How many people are hoping for my death? Even my brother wants me to die at the border."

Chen Yao stopped talking. The prince had a hard time. He just wanted to defend his country but too many people envied him. He even had to be cautious when returning to the capital.

When they arrived at the study, the butler stepped forward and told the prince about recent events in the mansion. He was about to leave after the prince nodded.

"How is Mu Qingqing doing lately?"

The butler was stunned. It was the first time he heard the prince care about a woman.

So he told her everything that had happened to Mu Qingqing recently.

King Han sneered, "Chu Hongyuan is still so stupid, picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons."

"Isn't it stupid that such an obvious plot could be successful?"

Chen Yao spoke with disdain. Mu Qingqian was a very capable woman, but she was too stupid after all. In this way, even if she could marry into the Third Prince's Mansion, she could only be a concubine at best.

King Han picked up the teacup and took a sip, his eyes full of smiles, and sighed, "These are not what Mu Qingqian, that woman, would think of!"

Chen Yao pondered for a while and nodded, "I'm afraid someone else has done something to me here, but I don't know if it's Mu Jingyang or Madam Mu."

Chen Yao never thought about Mu Qingqing from beginning to end. In his impression, Mu Qingqing was a fool like Mu Qingqian, and she even whipped people in the street. Wow, she was really a female tyrant.

King Han's eyes deepened slightly. He felt that this matter was most likely done by Mu Qingqing. He believed in his intuition.

The red figure appeared in his mind, and he suddenly wanted to meet it. It should be interesting!

When Prince Han returned to the capital, His Majesty naturally held a banquet and many officials would attend. Prince Han thought he could see Mu Qingqing, but he didn't even see her shadow. Instead, the second Miss Mu appeared. It was obvious that she had a bad relationship with the people in the Mu Mansion and she had almost no communication throughout the whole process.

She looked at the Third Prince with a pair of pitiful eyes, but the Third Prince never looked at her once. Instead, he was very attentive to Miss Yang.

His nonchalant look is disgusting. He was pursuing Miss Mu before, and was caught having a tryst with Miss Mu Er in private.

Now he's targeting Miss Yang again. What does that mean? Is he casting a wider net?

But Miss Yang still had a shy look on her face, and even the Minister of Rites had a smile on his face, obviously very satisfied.

General Mu swept a gloomy look over the few people, as if he was about to overturn the table at any time. Fortunately, Madam Mu kept holding down his arm.

Mu Qingqian naturally saw it. She wished her parents could stand up for her. Unfortunately, Mu Qingqian always remembered Madam Mu's words, "The one who runs away will be a concubine." If you really want to marry the third prince, you can only be a concubine, and you won't even have a dowry.

When Madam Mu said this, she just wanted to wake up the daughter she had raised for more than ten years!
