When Mu Yan saw his current fate, she felt that he deserved it. In his previous life, when he helped others destroy his reputation, did he ever think that he would end up like this?

Mu Jun stared grimly at the man in front of him who almost ruined his daughter's reputation. If he was not from Tianxuan Temple, he would have beaten him to death with a stick. Fortunately, he had been immersed in officialdom for many years and still retained a trace of rationality.

"Come here, send this fraudulent monk back to Tianxuan Temple, inform the abbot of the temple of this matter in detail, and let the abbot deal with it."

After hearing this, Xi Chen's heart sank deeply and his face turned dead silent. Originally, he still had the qualifications to run for the next abbot, but now he was afraid that his long dream would be shattered. It was too late to regret now. A cold dark light flashed in the corners of his slender eyes.

After Xi Chen was taken away by the servants, the hall fell into silence. Everyone had different thoughts. Finally, it was Madam Mu who spoke up and broke the silence.

"Spring is about to begin, and the Queen's Hundred Flowers Banquet is getting closer. You children should prepare well, so as not to lose your manners and bring shame to the Mu family."

"Madam, didn't we get a piece of fine jade the other day? The eldest daughter has just arrived in the capital and I'm afraid she hasn't prepared the most fashionable jewelry in her jewelry box. Why don't we give her this jade to make jewelry so she can wear it at the spring flower-viewing party." Nanny Tian stepped forward and said.

"You, an old woman, understand my heart best. Just take out the jade stone and use it to make jewelry for Yan."

Old Man Mu was very satisfied with this suggestion. Nanny Tian was indeed her confidant. She knew what she was thinking before she even spoke.

The gift of this jade was not only to appease Mu Yan, but also to help Liu Wenmei make amends. Old Madam Mu understood the importance of Mu Yan in Mu Jun's heart.

She could guess a little about the ins and outs of the matter, not to mention the thoughtful Mu Jun. As long as Mu Jun calmed down and thought about it carefully, he would guess that this matter must be related to Liu Wenmei.

Old Madam Mu was very dissatisfied with what Liu did this time. It was not because of Mu Yan, but because it was too obvious. But after all, she was her own niece. She had watched her grow up and had always treated her as her own daughter.

"Yan'er thanks grandma."

Mu Wan almost broke the embroidered handkerchief in her hand when she heard this. The jade stone her grandmother got was of top quality. She had originally wanted to find an opportunity to ask her grandmother for it to make jewelry, but now Mu Yan got there first.

Why did she come back? Why didn't she die outside?

Liu Wenmei was also extremely angry at this time. Not only did she fail to trip this little bitch today, but she also let her get the reward. Instead, she lost both the wife and the army.

This girl is really his nemesis. Ever since she came back, nothing good has happened to him. Not only was his power as housekeeper taken away, but he also lost a lot of his confidants.

Ever since she was stripped of her power as housekeeper and put into confinement these days, she clearly felt that the wind in the mansion had changed. These servants were used to changing their attitude according to the wind, and they treated her less respectfully than before, and even dared to neglect her during meals.

Fortunately, she has the old lady's support, and the servants dare not do anything too excessive. When she regains control of the Mu family's housekeeper, she will make sure those servants who have neglected her have a good taste of her power.

Liu Wenmei couldn't help but show anger towards Mu Yan. After feeling this gaze, she looked towards Liu Wenmei, and when no one was paying attention, she gave her a severe warning with her eyes.

Liu Wenmei was frightened by this sudden look, and quickly lowered her eyes and retracted her gaze, with hatred in her heart deepening.

Night, Qiyun Pavilion.

Mu Jun stood at the window, crossed his hands behind his back and asked, "Yan'er, what do you think about today's incident?"

Mu Yan looked at her father's back, her eyes couldn't help but become moist. In her previous life, when she last saw her father, his shoulders were not as straight as they are now, and his back also revealed an old air.

"I wonder what father is referring to?"

"Haha, you."

Mu Jun turned around and looked at Mu Yan. She knew exactly what he was asking and had already guessed the ins and outs of the matter. Qin Xiaoniang was of low status and had no chance of contacting Xi Chen, so how could she bribe him?

However, Liu often followed Madam Mu to Tianxuan Temple to worship Buddha and had contact with Xi Chen. Moreover, Qingxiu was the girl that Liu personally selected for Mu Yan when she left the Mu family and went to the border.

Mu Yan smiled faintly without saying anything.

"Father knows that what happened today has wronged you, but..."

Mu Jun didn't finish his words, but Mu Yan understood. Although Mu Jun had doubts about Liu, there was no definite proof that this matter was related to Liu. Moreover, Liu had the old lady's support and was kind to Mu Jun, so it was not easy for him to make trouble for her.

"Father, don't worry. My daughter hasn't suffered any substantial harm. I have punished Qin Xiaoniang and sought justice for her. This matter is over. After all, my daughter just came back, and I don't want to cause unrest in the Mu family."

How could she not know that her father was in trouble? In her previous life, although her father had cut off ties with her on the surface, he had always been silently caring for her in secret and had made many concessions for her. Now, let her be tolerant again for her father this time.

Moreover, today's incident not only overturned Liu's usual virtuous and gentle image, but also made Mu Jun feel resentful towards her.

The only people Liu and her daughter rely on are Mu Jun and the old lady. If they lose Mu Jun's trust, it will be the greatest punishment for them.

There is a long time to go, and we need to slowly settle the accounts. Instead of giving them a quick death, it is better to exploit them bit by bit.

Mu Yan's words made Mu Jun feel a little dazed. Her impression of her daughter was still stuck on two years ago. At that time, Mu Yan was arrogant and willful, always quarreling with him. She was not as sensible as she is now.

Mu Jun hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his rough hand and touched Mu Yan's head, and said with relief, just like he did in childhood.

"In two years, Yan'er, you have grown up."

Mu Yan gave him a peaceful smile.

It's not two years, it's been many, many years...

The price she paid for her growth was her father's eyes full of disappointment, her brother's dried bones, the execution of the entire family of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and the blood of 300,000 Yanyun soldiers shed in the Kunlun Mountains.

These lives and tens of thousands of souls reminded her all the time to grow up. The countless blood turned into sharp blades on the ground, making her realize that she must think twice before taking every step.

Since her rebirth, she has been awakened by nightmares countless times. In the dreams, Mo Xingchen and Mu Wan were laughing wildly, and under their feet were countless white bones.

She swore that she would make these people pay the price they deserved. She would destroy everything they had, bit by bit, and make them wash away their sins with their blood.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew in from the window and Mu Yan felt a chill. Only then did she come to her senses and realize that her father had left at some point.
