Rongwangfu carriage

A family of three sat in the spacious carriage, each with their own thoughts.

Mu Zhen and Li Wanru, mother and daughter, looked at each other and understood each other.

"Mom, do you think my cousin's wife is okay?" Li Wanru looked at Mu Zhen with a worried look on her face.

Hearing this, Li Maoan turned his head sharply and looked at her, "What happened to Pan Yue?"

His eyes were full of anxious worry.

"Father, don't you know?" Li Wanru looked at him in confusion. "Didn't your second uncle and eldest cousin tell you? Weren't you with them just now?"

"What happened? Tell me quickly!" Li Maoan's tone became heavier.

"Why are you yelling at the child!" Mu Zhen glared at him angrily, "You scared the child!"

Li Maoan: “……!”

Taking a deep breath, he tried to speak in a calm tone, "Wanru, tell father, what happened to Panyue? What happened to her?"

"My eldest cousin's wife had a miscarriage." Li Wanru said slowly, "It seems that she had a conflict with Mu Zhi, and then my eldest cousin attacked her..."

"What?!" Li Mao'an stood up suddenly, and then his head hit the roof of the carriage with a "bang", causing him to grimace in pain and gasp.

"This damn Mu Yiwen! He actually dared to attack Yue'er and even caused her to have a miscarriage! Who gave him the courage!" Li Mao'an gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing with rage, and he looked like he wanted to cut Mu Yiwen into pieces.

"Father, why are you so angry?" Li Wanru looked at him with a puzzled look on her face. "If you don't know, you might think your cousin is your daughter. Father, did you get the wrong person? It was Xu Panyue who had a miscarriage, not Wanying."

Mu Zhen also looked at him with a very complicated and somewhat inquiring look.

Li Mao'an was stunned for a moment.

"I... I'm just... concerned about each other as friends." He touched his nose awkwardly and sat down a little unnaturally. "Besides, Panyue grew up under our care, and we love her like our own daughter."

Then he glared at Li Wanru, "What are you talking about! You and Panyue are as close as sisters, I am just concerned about her. How can she be my daughter? I only have you and Wanying as my two daughters."

"Madam, you can't doubt me." He moved closer to Mu Zhen, with an uncomfortable flattery on his face, "The person I love most in my life is you, and the ones I love the most are Wanru and Ah Heng. I... just..."

"Of course I believe you." Mu Zhen interrupted him, smiling gently, "The prince was just in a hurry at the moment, and he only regarded Panyue as his daughter. Naturally, she can't be compared with his own daughter."

"Otherwise, the prince would not have angered Lord Xu and Madam Xu and insisted on letting Wanying enter the Mu Mansion."

"I……"

"Okay, Your Highness, there is no need to be so nervous. The most important thing for us now is to arrange the marriage of Li Jing and Wanying." Mu Zhen said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Mao'an nodded repeatedly, but the smile on his face was so fake and so stiff.

Along the way, Li Maoan was absent-minded. In his mind, he kept repeating, "Xu Panyue had a miscarriage, and she was beaten by Mu Yiwen."

Mu Yiwen, you little bastard, you really deserve to die!

You have hurt my two daughters! Just wait and see how I will punish you!

As soon as he returned to the palace, Li Maoan found an excuse and hurried out.

"Mom, is he going to...see Gigi Ruan?" Li Wanru asked with a look of disdain.

"Oh!" Mu Zhen snorted coldly, "Besides meeting Ruan Lizi, what else is there to do?"

Li Wanru gritted her teeth in hatred, "Doesn't he care about your feelings at all?"

"No need!" Mu Zhen said calmly, "He can no longer affect my emotions. For me, as long as you and Ah Heng are fine, that's enough. He is not important."

Li Wanru nodded heavily, "Yes! He is not important at all! Go and kill yourself!"

"Buyan, go and tell Concubine Shu that Xu Panyue had a miscarriage and that the prince went out to meet Ruan Lizi." Mu Zhen said in a deep voice to Buyan.

"Yes! I'll go right away. Don't worry, Princess. I will definitely see to it." She responded without saying a word and left.

"Princess, Princess, the old lady of the Xu family sent someone a note, asking the Princess and the Princess to meet at Shiyunzhai." Buyu walked up to the two of them with a visiting card and said respectfully.

"Mother, what does it mean that Old Madam Xu wants to meet us at this time? Shouldn't she have just left the Marquis' Mansion?" Li Wanru looked confused.

Mu Zhen took the visiting card, opened it and took a look.

The corners of his lips curled up into a faint smile, and he said slowly to Bu Yu, "Go back to the Xu Mansion, the princess and I will be there on time."

"Yes!"

"Mom, could it be that Mrs. Xu... wants to cooperate with us?" Li Wanru asked uncertainly.

Mu Zhen nodded, "She just wants to cooperate with us. After all, last time at Fufeng Courtyard, she and Xu Chongshan already knew about the affair between Li Maoan and Ruan Lizi."

"Mom, I always feel like this mother and son are acting weird lately." Li Wanru's brows knitted slightly, as if thinking about something. "Haven't they always loved Xu Panyue the most?"

"But what he did these few times seemed to push Xu Panyue away."

"Just like today, if it was in the past, they would have supported Xu Panyue to vent their anger! But now, this old lady Xu doesn't even have any intention in this regard."

Although the mother and daughter were not in the west courtyard of the second house at that time, they did not witness the incident with their own eyes.

But she did send Buyu to watch secretly.

Then he told her what he saw word for word without saying a word.

This surprised her greatly.

Could this old lady from the Xu family be a fake? Otherwise, how could she treat Xu Panyue like this?

"It's really surprising." Mu Zhen nodded in agreement, "You'll know when you see him in person."

"Mom, do you think there is a possibility..." Li Wanru looked at her seriously and swallowed hard, "This old woman can also... hear my cousin's voice?"

After saying this, Mu Zhen was stunned. His brows knitted slightly, as if thinking about something.

If that's the case... then it's a bit difficult.

After all, Xu Chongshan stands on the side of the second house.

Wouldn’t that... harm Big Brother’s family?

……

Shiyunzhai, private room

Old Madam Xu sat on a chair, accompanied by her personal assistant, Mother Li, with a solemn expression as she waited for the arrival of Mu Zhen and Li Wanru, mother and son.

The door of the private room was pushed open, and the mother and daughter stepped into the room.

"I greet Princess Rong and the princess." The old lady quickly stood up and saluted.

Mother Li naturally followed suit and bowed respectfully.

"Madam Xu, please don't be so polite." Mu Zhen helped her up.

"Shuanglan, go guard outside the door and don't let anyone get close. I have something to discuss with the princess and the county lord." The old lady said to Mother Li.

Mother Li went out.

"I have made an appointment to meet with the princess today because of the matter between Ruan and Prince Rong." The old lady went straight to the point.
