The legitimate daughter returns, and the princess goes crazy

"I guess my elder sister has no other choice but to vent her anger on me. After all, the person who died is Young Master Qi. I'm afraid it won't be long before he pays for his life, and by then his head will fall to the ground..."

"Snapped--"

Before she could finish her words, she heard a crisp sound and a slap hit Mu Wan's face hard. She instantly felt her head buzzing and waves of pain on her face.

This slap was extremely insulting and trampled Mu Wan's self-esteem directly on the ground.

"Mu Yan, you are so insolent. I am the county lady appointed by the emperor himself."

Mu Wan's chest was heaving with anger, her eyes were red, and she raised her hand to fight back.

But how could a girl like her, who was brought up in a greenhouse, be a match for Mu Yan?

Mu Yan grabbed her wrist with his backhand and twisted it hard.

"Click."

Mu Wan suddenly felt like her entire wrist was about to break.

"So what if I am a county princess? I am the princess appointed by the emperor."

Then he raised his right hand and slapped Mu Wan's hypocritical face several times.

"what--!"

"what--!"

Following two screams, Mu Yan's cheeks swelled up visibly, and blood oozed from the corners of her mouth.

"You, you, you, I'm going to tell father." Mu Wan's eyes widened with anger, she covered her face with one hand and pointed at Mu Yan with the other hand with trembling fingers.

It seemed as if he couldn't believe that Mu Yan was actually so arrogant.

Mu Yan glanced at her coldly with obvious disdain in her eyes, "Go, see if your father cares about you now that something big has happened at home. If he doesn't care about you, you can go find your grandmother. She loved you the most before."

She deliberately emphasized the tone of the first two words, as if she was mocking him.

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Mu Wan, and her father naturally would not stand up for her.

Ever since the incident with her mother, her grandmother deliberately distanced herself from her. Even when she went to pay her respects, she was turned away several times on the grounds that she was not feeling well.

Mu Wan covered her face and bit her lips tightly, hatred rising from her heart.

Mu Yan glanced at her coldly. She had no intention of continuing to deal with her at this moment. She would settle the accounts with Mu Wan one by one.

He turned around and strode out of the lobby. After all, the most important thing now was how to rescue Mu Zhao.

-

Outside the Dali Temple.

"Sir, just take it. We'll just meet and we'll be out in a moment. Oh, just take it."

"Well, sir, take it. We'll be in for a cup of tea."

Shi Ying kept stuffing silver into the hands of the jailers at the gate of Dali Temple, begging them to let them in.

"Go, go, go, go quickly! Our Lord has ordered that Mu Zhao killed the young master of the Duke of Qi. He is a serious criminal of the court and cannot be seen by anyone."

The jailer looked at the silver in his hand and swallowed. Finally, he closed his eyes, pushed the silver away cruelly, and drove the men away without mercy.

"Forget it, Shi Ying, let's go first and think of another way." Mu Yan frowned slightly and said helplessly.

She was eager to meet Mu Zhao. This matter was of great importance and she was afraid that it could not be let go.

Therefore, you must ask him clearly about the whole incident, because other people may not pay attention to some details, and perhaps a trivial matter may become the key to whether the case is convicted or not.

But Zhou Zheng, the Minister of Dali Temple, is a disciple of the Duke of Qi. The Duke of Qi must have said something, so he doesn't allow anyone to meet Mu Zhao. I think Mu Zhao will definitely not have an easy time here.

Mu Yan felt a pang of pain in her heart when she thought of this, Mu Zhao was her weak spot, but Dali Temple Prison was a strictly restricted place and she couldn't break in in broad daylight. If she forced her way in, it would only aggravate Mu Zhao's crime.

"Princess Pingting."

The moment she turned around, a familiar voice made Mu Yan stop immediately. She took a deep breath, concealed the hatred in her eyes, and spoke lightly.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei."

Mu Yan suppressed the nausea in her heart and performed a perfunctory greeting. It was really a narrow road for enemies to meet.

Even though she had seen Mo Xingchen many times since her rebirth, Mu Yan couldn't help but feel murderous every time she saw him. She wanted him to die, and even more so, she wanted him to live a life worse than death.

"I guess the princess is here to see your brother. I'm here just for this case."

Mu Yan raised her eyes, frowned, and looked at him in confusion.

Mo Yuche raised the corner of his mouth, walked to Mu Yan and stopped, "This case is related to the son of an important official in the court. It is of great importance. My father sent me to preside over this case."

Mu Yan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, without any fluctuation on his face.

"Your Highness the Prince of Wei has worked really hard."

Mo Xingchen was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He didn't expect Mu Yan's reaction to be so calm. Shouldn't she rush to please him and beg him to be lenient with Mu Zhao after knowing this?

Then I can use this opportunity to get close to her, make her feel good about me and be devoted to me.

How could Mu Yan not know what he was thinking, but this case was of great importance and could not be decided by just him, a prince, so it made no difference whether she pleased him or not.

In fact, being the chief judge is not an easy job.

Because the deceased was the young master of the Duke of Qi's Mansion, and Mu Zhao was the grandson of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and the case involved two important officials of the court, the emperor would definitely send a prince to preside over the trial.

If the job is done well, it is what you should do; if it is not done well, it is easy to offend people. Either the Duke of Qi's Mansion or the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion will offend one of them.

So I think the case fell on him because both the Crown Prince and King Xuan tried to shirk responsibility.

Although Mu Yan's expression was cold, Mo Xingchen still tried to show off.

"Don't worry, Princess. I will thoroughly investigate this matter. If Young Master Qi's death has nothing to do with your brother, I will give him justice."

Mu Yan was not interested in listening to his high-sounding words and was just trying to find an excuse to slip away.

Then Mo Xingchen said softly, "My princess, did you want to go in and see your brother? Although Mu Zhao is a serious criminal and cannot easily see his family, I may be able to help you fulfill your wish."

Mu Yan glanced at Mo Xingchen's hypocritical face, pursed her lips, and a trace of conflict flashed through her heart. She was indeed eager to meet Mu Zhao, but she didn't want to owe him a favor.

Mo Xingchen looked Mu Yan up and down, and was overjoyed when he saw her hesitant expression.

He thought that Mu Yan's hesitation was because she didn't know how to ask him for help. After all, with his status, let alone other women, a disfigured woman like her should be able to come over by just beckoning him.

I guess she was deliberately cold to him during the previous two meetings in order to attract his attention. Oh, women are always using these tricks to play hard to get.

"In that case..."

He was just about to open his mouth to give Mu Yan a way out and demonstrate his gentlemanly demeanor.

"I didn't expect that the entrance to the Dali Temple Prison would be so busy..."

The two turned around at the same time. Mo Xingchen frowned when he saw the person coming. Why did he come here?
