The legitimate daughter returns, and the princess goes crazy

After this incident, apart from a few polite words from the Mu family masters occasionally, the entire hall was unusually quiet during the lunch. There was an awkward atmosphere, and everyone was thinking about their own things, and had no appetite.

When they had almost finished eating, Madam Mu was the first to put down her chopsticks. She was so upset during this reunion dinner that even the look in her eyes when she looked at Mu Yan was filled with resentment.

Mu Yan pretended not to see it and continued to eat with gusto. After her rebirth, she knew that repeatedly trying to please and tolerate others would not win back the respect of others or the old lady's sincerity, but would only make others take advantage of her. So, there was no need to endure it anymore, and she didn't need to consider other people's emotions.

If she is unhappy, no one else will be happy.

Moreover, a meal at Yuelaiju costs a lot of money, and the dishes cooked by the chef there are very much to her taste. In the previous life, Mu Yan originally wanted Tang Wen to spend a lot of money to recruit him to Huamanlou, but the chef of Yuelaiju was unmoved. It was said that the boss behind Yuelaiju had done a favor to the chef, so Mu Yan did not force him later.

In addition to Mu Yan, Sun Moyu was also overjoyed. She was the legitimate mistress of the Mu family, but had been living under a concubine for so many years. Now that all the suffering had paid off, it was finally her turn to be the head of the family. Now that the Liu family had fallen, according to the order of seniority, it should be her turn to be the head of the family.

But she didn't know that Zou, who had just arrived, also had her own ideas. Seeing how generous Liu was on a daily basis, she knew how much money the housekeeper had.

After Madam Mu left the table first, Mu Jun and Mu Hong also left the banquet on the grounds of being busy with official business, so today's welcoming banquet ended early.

Mu Jun also knew that this matter had wronged Mu Yan, so before putting Liu Wenmei under house arrest, he had already instructed housekeeper Wang to turn her Chunhui Garden upside down. Not only did he return Liu's mother's dowry over the years to her, he also sorted out the account books of Liu's housekeeper over the years and confiscated all the money she had deposited in the silver shop.

It is said that after Liu found out about this, she yelled at the maid in the house. Mu Jun simply dismissed all the maids in Chunhui Pavilion and let Liu deal with it on her own.

Mu Jun even went to see Old Madam Mu, and specifically emphasized that the Mu family had no say in Han Yunyan's dowry, and left it to Mu Yan to manage herself.

Although the old lady disagreed in her heart, she was too embarrassed to interfere after this incident. After all, it was she who gave Liu the power, which allowed Liu to do such sneaky and treasonous things.

The first thing Mu Yan did after taking over her mother's dowry was to dismiss all the people who had been sent to the shop by the Mu family and call back the old people who were loyal to the shop. She has always been clear about right and wrong. She will get back what is owed to her one by one, but she will never treat those who are loyal to her unfairly.

As for those who were in the same boat with Liu, such as Shopkeeper Zhou, Mu Yan did not intervene, because she knew that Mu Jun would not give them a chance to speak again.

"The madam's dowry has finally been recovered, but it's a pity that some of the things were sold privately by that bitch Liu, and no one knows where they are."

Nanny Lin said with a look of regret.

What Mu Yan was worried about was not that these things could not be found, but that they would fall into the hands of someone with ulterior motives and be used to make a big fuss.

When Liu asked Manager Zhou to sell these items, she was afraid that the Mu family would investigate, so neither party knew the other's specific identity during the transaction.

This is difficult to handle...

Since the downfall of the Liu family, Mu Yan smiled a little more often, and the entire Qiyun Pavilion was filled with joy. In comparison, Qin Yi Pavilion was much quieter.

Ever since being beaten thirty times by Mu Jun, Qin Xiaoniang has been recuperating in Qin Yige, and Mu Jun has never visited her once.

In the past, those childless concubines surrounded her and tried to curry favor with her, but now they keep their distance from her as if she were the plague.

Qin Xiaoniang's status in the Mu family was not high, and she was only able to receive some preferential treatment from Mu Jun because she had children. Now she has angered her master, which is equivalent to falling out of favor. Those servants all do things according to their master's wishes, so when Mu Yan came to Qin Yige late at night, she didn't meet any maids or old women. She probably didn't know where they had gone to slack off and have fun.

"crunch-"

The half-open door made a long sound.

"Suju, are you willing to come back, you damn girl? Why hasn't the tea I ordered come yet?"

Qin Xiaoniang was lying on the bed. She struggled to get up and cursed, but when she saw who was coming, she was shocked.

"Miss?"

She paused for a moment and asked doubtfully, "I wonder what brings you here so late, Miss?"

Mu Yan did not answer. He turned around and sat on the chair next to him, staring at Qin Xiaoniang. Qin Xiaoniang felt guilty being stared at.

She didn't go in alone just to break Qin Xiaoniang's psychological defenses. This was the experience she gained from hunting in her previous life. If she attacked the prey directly and failed to hit it in one shot, the prey would be aroused with a stronger desire to survive and break through its own limits, which would make it more difficult to catch.

If you just surround it, you can slowly break down its psychological defenses. Once it panics, it will easily reveal its flaws. If you attack it at this time, you will have a better chance of winning.

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Yan finally spoke slowly, "Two days ago, Auntie was punished and stayed in the house to recover from her injuries. Just then, someone from your mother's family told you that something was going on at home. I was afraid that you couldn't get away, so I stopped the person and didn't tell you. I sent someone to your mother's house to check on you. But don't worry, your family's problems have been resolved."

"Thank you very much, Miss."

Although Qin Xiaoniang was puzzled as to why Mu Yan was so kind, she still thanked her.

Mu Yan smiled meaningfully and continued, "I heard that the teacher in your country school has a handsome appearance but has never married. Auntie, why do you think that is? It is said that this teacher has a close relationship with you."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Qin Xiaoniang's heart tightened and she refused to admit what she had done.

Mu Yan didn't want to beat around the bush with her, so she just threw a stack of letters in front of her. These were the letters between the teacher and Qin Xiaoniang that the people she sent found in the teacher's room.

The teacher and Qin Xiaoniang were childhood sweethearts, but she was willing to marry into the Mu family in order to enjoy wealth and glory. On the other hand, she couldn't let go of her childhood sweetheart, so they had been communicating through letters for so many years. This matter was accidentally known by Liu Wenmei, so she has been using it to blackmail her.
