main hall

Gathered all the people from Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.

Li Jing was still kneeling on the ground, looking even more embarrassed now than when he first came to the Marquis' Mansion.

There were more obvious fingerprints on his face, and his cheeks were more swollen. There were also obvious blood stains on his clothes.

Of course, there were several more shoe prints on the chest.

"Everyone is here." The old lady sat in the main seat and looked around at everyone present.

"mother in law……"

"Since you still call me mother-in-law, let me, your mother-in-law, finish what I want to say." The old lady interrupted him with a cold expression.

"Yes, yes!" Li Maoan responded repeatedly, with a respectful look on his face, "The son-in-law always listens to my mother-in-law."

"Now that everyone is here, let's make everything clear and resolve it." The old lady looked around again and her eyes fell on Mu Yiwen.

"First thing." After a pause, he continued in a deep voice, "Yiwen, what is your decision regarding Panyue and Li Jing's affairs?"

Hearing this, Xu Panyue looked towards Mu Yiwen anxiously, her eyes filled with sorrow and pleading.

"No matter what decision you make, grandma will respect it," the old lady added.

Then wait for Mu Yiwen's decision.

At this moment, the huge main hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

[Oh, of course he couldn't divorce his wife! He must have said, 'Since Panyue and Li Jing were set up by someone, and there was no real fault, as a husband, I can't go too far' and saved Xu Panyue! ]

[After all, Xu Panyue is the daughter of Prince Rong! If Prince Rong disagrees, will the Second Branch dare to do so? ]

[If he divorces his wife, he will not only offend Prince Rong, but also the Xu family. Without the help of Prince Rong and Xu Chongshan, how could their second branch be a match for my husband's family! ]

[There's no need for my father-in-law and husband to work together, my husband can seduce all the members of the second room by himself! ]

Well, Mu Shaochen was in a good mood. Hearing his little wife praising him like this in her heart, he must have felt very proud.

However, at this time, you can't show it on your face.

"Grandma, I cannot divorce my wife." Mu Yiwen said solemnly, "This time, Panyue and Li Jing were also set up. They are both victims. And there was no actual fault."

"It's my grandson's fault too! If I had been with Panyue, she wouldn't have been framed. As a husband, I feel guilty."

After saying that, he gave Xu Panyue an affectionate look.

Xu Panyue was deeply moved when she saw his affectionate look mixed with a hint of self-blame.

He still has her in his heart, and at this moment, he still chooses to protect her.

Therefore, his indifference towards her these days was really because she did not do well enough and made him too disappointed.

Next, she had to do better. She had to make his wish come true and help him get rid of the first wife as soon as possible.

"My dear husband, thank you for your trust in me." Xu Panyue looked at Mu Yiwen lovingly, "I swear, I will never do anything to let you down in this life."

Mu Yiwen looked at her affectionate eyes at this moment and felt only disgusted.

But he had to pretend to accept it, and even held her hand tightly to show his deep affection for Xu Panyue.

Xu Panyue was so satisfied and proud about this.

He even cast a provocative look at Xu Zhimiao.

[Huh? Are you provoking me? Xu Panyue, are you mentally ill? What does this have to do with me?]

[Thank you both for locking them up quickly and don't put your dirty ideas on my husband! ]

[Oh, I almost forgot! Mu Shaochen, that bastard, just took Xu Panyue out. So... is he...?]

"hiss!"

As soon as this thought flashed through my mind, I felt someone scratching the palm of my hand.

And the force was quite strong, as if it was a punishment.

Then she saw Mu Shaochen staring at her without blinking, his eyes... um... a little... resentful? !

[Mu Shaochen, are you crazy? You're flirting with me at this time? Don't you even consider the occasion!]

then……

Xu Zhimiao seemed to feel several gazes directed at her.

Each of them looked... uh... a bit gossipy.

Especially Mu Nian'an and Li Wanru, they even winked at her with teasing eyes.

"Okay." The old lady quickly retracted her gaze and nodded in agreement, "Grandmother respects your decision. You chose this daughter-in-law yourself, so you naturally have responsibilities."

"It's rare that you are willing to take on the responsibility of being a husband. Grandmother is very pleased. You are right. If your wife makes a mistake, you as a husband cannot avoid the blame."

"Then, if Grandmother punishes you, do you have any complaints?"

When Han heard the word "punishment", she naturally felt dissatisfied.

However, when he received the warning look from Murjin, he swallowed his complaints.

"No." Mu Yiwen denied without hesitation, "My grandson has no complaints. Grandma punishes me for my own good. No matter how Grandma punishes me, I will accept it."

"Very good!" The old lady nodded. "Then Grandmother will punish you two to kneel in the ancestral hall for a full day and reflect on your mistakes to your ancestors."

"Thank you, grandmother. I will punish you."

"Thank you, Grandmother. Your granddaughter-in-law will be punished."

The two of them kowtowed to the old lady.

"Go!" the old lady said coldly.

Mu Yiwen and Xu Panyue stood up and walked towards the ancestral hall.

Han, on the other hand, was trying hard to hold back her anger. However, under her wide sleeves, she had already clenched her hands into fists, breaking several of her nails.

The old lady's eyes fell on Mu Zhi, "Now let's talk about Mu Zhi."

Hearing this, Mu Zhi couldn't help but shudder.

"Muzhi, now, tell grandma what you are planning!"

[What's her plan? Of course she's going to completely deny what she said before! If I'm not mistaken, she will definitely deny the affair with Li Jing now.]

[After all, the Rong Palace would never allow the marriage with Mu Nian'an to be cancelled at this time. This Li Mao'an still wants to climb up by stepping on his father-in-law's shoulders! ]

[She will definitely say: The baby in my belly has nothing to do with my cousin. It was when I was out playing with Nian An before, I fell in love with a young man and did something wrong in a moment of confusion.]

[I was afraid that if the truth was revealed and people pointed fingers at me, my reputation would be ruined, so I wanted to push the blame onto my eldest cousin. Even Cuizhu said this on purpose at my instigation.]

"Grandma, the baby in my belly has nothing to do with my cousin." Mu Zhi said in a sad and pitiful voice, "I don't have any private feelings for my cousin."

"He is Sister Nian'an's fiancé, and I have always treated him as my brother. The child in my belly was the result of a mistake I made when I was out for fun and fell in love with a young man."
