"Gigi Lai and my prince?" Mu Zhen looked at her with confusion, "What does the old lady mean by this? What is going on between Gigi Lai and my prince?"

Li Wanru also looked at the old lady with a bewildered look on her face, "Yes, old lady, what's going on between my father and Aunt Ruan?"

Hearing this, the old lady did not rush to speak, but looked at the mother and daughter patiently, with a faint smile on her face all the time.

It was as if everything was under her control, without any anxiety or irritation.

At this moment, it’s a competition of who has more patience.

Naturally, Mu Zhen and Li Wanru, mother and daughter, knew this very well. They also understood why Old Madam Xu asked them to meet.

Therefore, the one who should be more anxious should be Old Madam Xu, not them.

Thinking in this way, the mother and daughter naturally felt more at ease.

Li Wanru even picked up the exquisite teapot on the table, then took a teacup, and politely poured a cup of tea for Old Madam Xu, and then poured another cup for Mu Zhen.

"Madam, have some tea." He handed the teacup to the old lady with a smile.

The old lady looked at her lovingly. The more she looked, the more satisfied she became, and the smile on her face became even more intense.

"The princess is becoming more and more beautiful, and more and more beloved."

"You are too kind, old lady. In terms of beauty, Wanru is far inferior to my cousin's wife. In terms of popularity, she is also not as good." Li Wanru smiled and said modestly, "My cousin's wife is like a star surrounded by stars!"

"But it's also my cousin's sister-in-law who deserves it. Anyone with eyes can see the good in my cousin's sister-in-law. It's reasonable to love her."

"My grandmother and my uncle's family are really lucky. Especially my cousin, he must have accumulated blessings for three lifetimes to marry such a good wife like my cousin's wife."

"They say a virtuous wife brings prosperity to three generations! My cousin's wife brings prosperity to not only three generations, but generations to come."

When talking about Xu Zhimiao, Li Wanru simply couldn't stop. She kept talking "bababa" and wished she could talk about all the good points of Xu Zhimiao for three days and three nights.

"Don't blame me, old lady." Mu Zhen glanced at Li Wanru with a bit of helplessness, and said slowly, "This child is very close to Zhi Miao. Once he talks about Zhi Miao's good points, he can't stop talking."

"But what she said is true. Zhimiao is truly the best child in the world, bar none."

"It is truly a blessing for a young minister to marry her."

"Yes, yes, yes!" The old lady smiled and nodded repeatedly, "What the princess said is absolutely right. Zhi Miao is indeed a good child. In the past, it was our Xu family who treated her badly. It is our Xu family who owes her!"

"It's our fault that we are blind. We mistook fish eyes for pearls and pearls for dust."

"Whether it's Zhimiao or Li Jin, our Xu family owes them. Li Jin's life is also owed to me, an old woman."

"You..." Mu Zhen looked at her in surprise and didn't know what to say for a moment.

I never expected that Madam Xu would put it so directly and clearly.

He actually admitted that he was sorry to Li Jin and Zhi Miao, mother and daughter, and said that he owed Li Jin a life.

"I asked the princess to come out today because I wanted to tell her something from the bottom of my heart." The old lady said seriously.

"I'm already this old, and I don't want to beat around the bush with the princess, so I'll get straight to the point. I'm sure the princess already knows about the dirty relationship between Ruan Lizi and Li Maoan."

Hearing this, Mu Zhen's brows slightly frowned, and a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes.

Then he turned to look at Li Wanru and said in a deep voice, "Go out first. This kind of thing is not suitable for you to listen to."

The old lady reacted suddenly, with a look of self-blame and apology on her face, "Yes, yes, yes! It's my wife who didn't think it through. This is indeed not suitable for the princess to hear. The princess..."

"Mother!" Li Wanru interrupted her, looked at Mu Zhen and said, "I have grown up and have my own opinions and ideas."

"I can listen, and I want to listen. After all, it concerns my father. Mother, don't always think about protecting me behind you."

"I'm always facing it. It's better to know everything today than to be caught off guard later."

She held Mu Zhen's hand with a firm look in her eyes, "Mother, no matter what time it is, your daughter will stand by you and walk with you."

Mu Zhen took a deep breath, then let out a long exhale, "Yes, you have grown up. You will have to face these things eventually. I can't protect you forever."

"Okay, then stay and listen. As for what decision you should make, it's up to you. No matter what decision you make, mother respects and supports you."

Li Wanru smiled at her knowingly.

Madam Xu also showed a kind smile of relief, "The princess is so sensible, it is really a blessing for the princess."

"Thank you for your good words, old lady." Mu Zhen said in a deep voice, "Old lady, let's get back to the point."

"Yes, yes!" The old lady nodded, her expression serious. "A few days ago, the princess and the princess met at Fufeng Courtyard. If I am not mistaken, the princess should have gone there to catch them in adultery."

"Princess, please don't deny it yet." Seeing Mu Zhen about to speak, the old lady said seriously, "The reason why Chongshan and I went to Fufeng Garden was because of what Madam Mu had someone tell us."

"Before that, neither Chongshan nor I would believe that Gigi Nguyen would do anything to let my son down."

“But that day, we saw it with our own eyes.”

When she said this, there was a flash of viciousness and cruelty in the old lady's eyes, as well as obvious hatred.

He slammed the table heavily and gnashed his teeth, "Ruan Lizi, this slut, this vicious woman! She has been pretending very well over the years! We have been deceived by her for so many years!"

"It's my fault that I was blind. I didn't see her true nature back then! I still thought she was a good girl."

"If I hadn't been the one to bring them together, she wouldn't have married my son. No, to be more precise, if I hadn't invited her to our Xu Mansion from time to time, Li Jin wouldn't have gotten into trouble."

"Madam, what you mean is that Li Jin was killed by Ruan Lizi?" Mu Zhen looked at her in disbelief.

The old lady took a deep breath and closed her eyes tightly. Her face showed painful self-blame. "I don't have any evidence! But it's almost certain! This is all my fault! It's because of me that Zhimiao has been without a mother since birth, and lost such a good daughter-in-law."

"Oh!" Mu Zhen sneered disapprovingly, "Such a good daughter-in-law? Old Madam, isn't it a little late to say this now?"

"If I remember correctly, when Li Jin married into the Xu family, you looked down on her."

"It's all my fault! It's my fault!" The old lady burst into tears. "So now, I want to make it up to Zhimiao. I also want to ask the princess to give me this chance."
