Li Maoan, Mu Zhen and Concubine Shu hurried to the west courtyard of the Marquis's mansion.

When Concubine Shu saw Yunhe lying dead on the ground, her body stiffened and something flashed in her eyes.

This expression was seen by Mu Erjin and others, and it confirmed what Ying's mother said.

"Is this the sincerity of your Rong Palace?" Han glared at Li Wanying hatefully, and she really wanted to kill her.

"Mother-in-law, second uncle, is there... any misunderstanding?" Li Maoan asked.

He was still injured and didn't look very well.

Although the arrow shot yesterday did not threaten his life, it did cause him great damage.

Xu Panyue stared at him fiercely, her eyes full of hatred.

This man turned out to be her biological father! But he had never fulfilled his fatherly responsibilities.

This time, he just blindly protected the bitch Li Wanying. They were both his daughters, so why did Li Wanying get his favor? And she had nothing?

"Misunderstanding?" Xu Panyue snorted coldly, "Prince Rong and Concubine Shu really gave birth to a good daughter! Today is such an important day, and she is having an affair in public!"

"What? Is this the inheritance of your Rong Palace? You all like to steal people!"

"Xu Panyue, watch your mouth!" Concubine Shu glared at her, "I, Wanying, would never do such a thing!"

Then he said humbly to the others, "Old Madam, you can't wrongly accuse my daughter like this! You also watched Wanying grow up. She has followed Wanru to call you grandma since she was a child..."

"I don't deserve it!" The old lady interrupted her, "I don't deserve it! You can ask the people in your palace whether it's wronged or not!"

"I'm old and useless. I can't take care of the affairs of you young people." She sighed helplessly and said to Murjin, "Second brother, you can do it yourself!"

"I can't do anything about it. I can't do anything about it anymore. Mother Rong, help me go back to Qing'anju. Every day, one thing after another comes up. Are you complaining that I, an old woman, have lived too long?"

"Mother..." Murjin's face turned red and white because of what she said.

The old lady just waved at him, indicating that he didn't need to say more.

"Mu Zhen, you also have to accompany me back to Qing'anju. After all, the child is not born or raised by you, so naturally he or she cannot be close to you. You, the princess, are just a decoration! When will you realize this!"

"Mother-in-law..." Li Mao'an's heart was beating fast.

The old lady waved her hand again, "You don't need to say more. I know my own daughter well. You and your concubine should take good care of your good children! Ah Zhen, let's go."

Mu Zhen and Rong's mother helped the old lady leave, leaving only the people from the second room, Li Mao'an and Concubine Shu in the house.

"Father, Mother, I really didn't!" Li Wanying looked aggrieved.

But no one believed it.

……

"Mom, what's going on?" Mu Zhen asked softly, "Why would Li Wanying...cheat on someone? And today? Even if she really had something with that guy, she wouldn't be so stupid as to push herself into the fire pit today."

"Tell me first, what's the matter with that man named Yunhe. Is he from Prince Rong's Mansion?" asked the old lady.

Mu Zhen nodded, then shook his head, "He is Yunlai's brother, and Yunlai is Li Wanying's personal maid. But Yunhe is not a servant of the palace."

"And he is still a scholar. It seems that he has passed the examination for a tongsheng. He has a good relationship with the Yunlai siblings, because his family members are gone."

"He often comes to the palace to help with some things. He is quite diligent. I think he is a pretty good person and quite righteous."

"But why would he be with Li Wanying? Li Wanying has such high standards, how could she possibly like him? Could it be that she was framed by someone?"

"Yes," the old lady nodded, "Xu Panyue's twin brother did it."

Hearing this, Mu Zhen suddenly understood, "That makes sense. He wants to vent his anger on his own sister! He also wants to show Li Maoan his power!"

"Mother, Li Maoan is injured, do you know?"

The old lady nodded, "I know. Ruan Lizi was injured yesterday. The Xu family sent someone to take Zhimiao and Xu Panyue back yesterday. Ruan Lizi was not only injured, but also had a miscarriage."

"Miscarriage? The child... is Li Maoan's?" Mu Zhen was shocked.

"It's probably close to ten."

"What a shameless couple!" Mu Zhen gritted his teeth in anger, "I guess the assassin is most likely Ge Changsheng."

"This Concubine Shu is really brave!" The old lady's face darkened, "But these two deserved it!"

"After what happened today, if Li Wanying doesn't die in our mansion, she will just be a decoration. As for Han, I'm afraid she won't be able to stay for too long."

"It has nothing to do with us." Mu Zhen said disapprovingly, "They brought this upon themselves. But then again, do you think we should let my second brother and Mu Yiwen know that it was Xu Yufan who set up Li Wanying?"

"This matter still needs to be discussed with your elder brother and Shaochen." The old lady said seriously.

Mu Zhen nodded in agreement, and then thought of something else, "Mother, there is something I need to tell you. Madam Xu came to see me a few days ago."

Then he told the old lady everything he had talked about that day, without missing a word.

"You mean, that old fool suddenly changed his nature? Wants to compensate Zhimiao?" The old lady was very surprised. "Is she possessed by a ghost? Or is she having a moment of enlightenment before death?"

"Otherwise, how could he make such an abnormal move?"

"Yes!" Mu Zhen nodded, "I think it's abnormal too."

"There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary." The old lady said seriously, "Don't believe her too much, just observe first. After all, the Xu family has not been kind to Zhi Miao at all over the years!"

"Should we tell our elder brother about this?"

The old lady took a deep breath and said, "You can mention it, but don't let Miaomiao know yet. There's no need! We Miaomiao don't want such relatives. It's enough for her to have us love her."

"Yes, mother is right." Mu Zhen agreed.

……

East Courtyard, Muqing Garden

"Bah, bah, bah! This Li Wanying is so shameless!" Mu Anyan spat, "Fortunately, fortunately! I cut off all ties with her a long time ago and I won't play with her anymore!"

"Otherwise, I will also be contaminated by her!"

"But thinking about the green above Mu Yiwen's head makes me feel particularly happy!"

"Sister-in-law, tell me, who has the ability to crush Li Wanying to death today?"

Her clear eyes flickered as she looked at Xu Zhimiao, waiting for her answer.
