Su Yuntian looked at Shen Rong with a gloomy face. His mother, who came from a merchant family, had lived in the imperial palace for many years, but that did not allow her to broaden her horizons. Not only did she have a narrow vision, but she also often made things worse. With such a mother, how could Su Yu like him?

"Mother, can you please let me know before you do anything in the future? If I knew you were using Su Yi and Mu Jin to set up a trap, I would never let you do it. Do you think you can deal with Su Yi with such a clumsy trap and hide it from father?"

Su Yuntian contradicted Shen Rong in front of Shen Qianqian, and Shen Rong's face was not much better. She said unhappily.

"Mother also wants you to get divorced from Mu Jin as soon as possible. And Su Yi, that dandy waste, is blocking your way. If you get rid of them both, you will kill two birds with one stone. Wouldn't that save you a lot of trouble?"

Su Yuntian was very upset when he heard Shen Rong's words. He turned his head to look at the man lying on the ground and asked Shen Rong.

"Then was this person arranged by Mother?"

Shen Rong felt really wronged about the man lying on the ground, and she didn't understand where this man came from. She saw that the palace maid successfully drugged Su Yi's wine not long after Mu Jin left, and she watched the palace maid help Su Yi out, and then she happily called Su Yu and Su Yuntian to catch the adulterer.

It's no wonder that Shen Rong felt aggrieved. How could she understand the man lying on the ground? He was just a low-ranking guard in the palace. He had just taken advantage of a palace banquet to have an affair with a young palace maid, but he went to the wrong place and was knocked unconscious by Mu Jin, who mistook him for the one who harmed her.

"From now on, you don't need to interfere in my affairs with Mu Jin anymore. Mu Jin and I are not going to divorce. In addition, Su Yi is not as useless as you think. You just need to think about how to regain your father's love for you. I will do the rest."

Shen Qianqian heard the conversation between Su Yuntian and Shen Rong, and when she knew that Su Yuntian didn't want to divorce Mu Jin, her face turned pale. She paused for a long time before she managed to force a smile, and she stepped forward and pulled Su Yuntian's sleeve.

"Your Highness, please don't be angry with me. I am only doing this for your own good."

Shen Qianqian's words somewhat eased the tense atmosphere between the mother and son. Shen Rong could also see that Su Yuntian was really angry this time, so she didn't dare to say anything more, and her tone also softened.

"Okay, okay! Mother will no longer be involved in your affairs. Your father is waiting anxiously, so hurry back to the Imperial Garden."

After saying this, Su Yuntian had the unconscious man on the ground dragged out and dealt with, then he returned to the palace banquet in the Imperial Garden with Shen Rong and Shen Qianqian.

As soon as the three of them stepped into the Imperial Garden, they saw Mu Jin and Su Yi, brother and sister, sitting in the seats in front of them, toasting and chatting. Their smiles seemed like a sharp knife stabbing into the eyes and hearts of the three of them.

After watching the three people sit down together, Su Yi smiled and said to Su Yuntian.

"Third brother has been gone for so long. There was a dance performance just now, and it was a wonderful performance. It's a pity that third brother didn't see it."

Su Yuntian was feeling annoyed at the moment and didn't want to pay attention to Su Yi, so he said casually: "I've had too much to drink, let's go out for a while."

Su Yi smiled and said, "Oh, Concubine De, Third Brother, and Little Sister-in-law have such a good relationship that they even go to the toilet together."

Then he turned his head and glanced at Mu Jin and continued, "Why didn't you invite the third sister-in-law?"

When Su Yuntian heard Su Yi's teasing, he was stunned, and then looked at Su Yu. At this time, Su Yu did not stop Su Yi's inappropriate joke. He suppressed the anger in his heart, but his expression did not show it.

"Fifth brother is joking."

Su Muxue didn't know the story behind it. She glanced at Su Yuntian and Shen Qianqian and muttered to Su Yi, "Even if we call Ah Jin, Ah Jin won't go with us. Isn't what Fifth Brother said nonsense?"

"Well, what the princess said is right."

Su Muxue didn't expect Mu Jin to answer what she said casually. She was happy and toasted Mu Jin again.

Several people were talking at the same time, but Su Yu didn't hear much of what they said. He kept looking at Su Yi and his sister, especially Su Yi, who looked like his mother. Every time he looked at Su Yi, he would always think of their mother Nan Yu through Su Yi's face.

Su Yi has always had a grudge against Su Yu because of Nan Yu's death. The two father and son have not seen each other for a long time and they can only say a few words when they meet.

Shen Rong was unhappy when she saw Su Yu looking at Su Yi in a daze. After all, in her opinion, Su Yuntian was much stronger than Su Yi. On weekdays, Su Yi only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and he did not share anything for the Dongyue Kingdom or Su Yu. On the contrary, her son Su Yuntian had done things that were praised by many court officials. Thinking of this, she wanted to ridicule Su Yi.

"Yier hasn't been back to the capital for a long time. How many capitals have you visited during this period? Have you met any girls you like?"

Su Yi glanced at Shen Rong with a half-smile: "How did Empress Defei know that I went to visit the capital?"

This question made people think a lot. It was possible that Shen Rong knew the whereabouts of King Yi.

Shen Rong was speechless for a moment after hearing Su Yi's question, but she quickly reacted.

"I just said it casually. I think you are lucky. Unlike your third brother, you work so hard every day to complete all the tasks for your father. You should also be considerate of your father and come back to the palace more often. At your age, you should have married a princess and settled down in the capital."

When Su Muxue heard that Shen Rong was actually stepping on her fellow woman Su Yi in order to support Su Yuntian, she instantly became unhappy.

"Your Highness, you should eat more vegetables and worry less. Your father hasn't said anything, but you are unhappy. You have so much free time, why don't you let your third brother marry a few more wives and give birth to a bunch of grandchildren for you to raise."

Shen Rong was not willing to be scolded by the junior. She was about to teach Su Muxue a lesson but was interrupted by Su Yu.

"Okay, okay, this palace banquet is not for you to nag at the children."

Su Yu's favoritism towards Su Yi and his sister made Concubine De even more unhappy. She wanted to retort, but when she saw Su Yuntian's eyes telling her to shut up, she shut up angrily.

When Su Muxue saw that Shen Rong was helpless with her, she gave her a provocative smile, which made Shen Rong even more furious.

Mu Jin saw all of this and understood even more clearly the status of Su Yi and his sister in Su Yu's heart. She thought about the importance of building a good relationship with the brother and sister.

This time, Su Yu also gave gifts to the younger generations of each family at the banquet, and the banquet was coming to an end.

Mu Jin stood up along with the others at the banquet and secretly yawned a few times as she saw the emperor off.

Su Muxue saw this scene.

After Su Yu left the Imperial Garden, she went to pull Mu Jin's hand and said, "Ah Jin, are you sleepy? The journey back home is too far, why don't you stay in my Fengyang Palace tonight."

When Mu Jin heard that she had to stay in the palace to rest, she immediately sobered up a lot! Just as she was about to refuse, she heard Su Muxue say, "You stay tonight, and tomorrow morning I will accompany you to ask for the royal decree for a divorce, okay?"

When Mu Jin heard Su Muxue recommending him to go to the emperor to ask for a divorce, the words of refusal that were on the tip of his tongue could not be uttered.

Mu Jin finally said, "Okay."

Of course, when Su Yuntian learned that Mu Jin wanted to stay in the palace to rest, he was firmly opposed. But his opposition was ineffective, because Su Muxue only informed him and did not wait for his reply, and dragged Mu Jin away quickly from the Imperial Garden. This was also due to Shen Qianqian holding Su Yuntian back and not letting him chase Mu Jin back.

In Shen Qianqian's opinion, she only wanted to stay with Su Yuntian. Without Mu Jin, she could walk hand in hand with Su Yuntian and ride in the carriage back home with Su Yuntian. She imagined that the officials' wives and noble ladies would look at her with envy along the way, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.

It's no wonder that she was complacent about standing next to Su Yuntian. After all, even if Su Yuntian already had a princess, there were many noble ladies who wanted to be Su Yuntian's concubines because of his appearance and power.
