The next day.

Mu Yunzhou packed his bags at home and went to school.

As soon as he entered the school, people started talking about him behind his back.

"Prime Minister Mu, you are collaborating with the enemy and committing treason."

"I didn't expect him to be this kind of person."

"Why wasn't Mu Yunzhou exiled?"

"I heard that he has the emperor's golden medal of immunity from death."

"The Emperor is his cousin. No matter what, we must protect him..."

These people were talking about him. In the past, he would have definitely gone up to them and started arguing with them, but now he didn't want to pay any attention to them at all.

Two classmates who used to be very respectful to him came towards him. When they saw Mu Yunzhou passing by them, they didn't even say hello and just walked away.

When entering the corridor of the school, someone bumped into Mu Yunzhou but did not apologize. The person sneered and left.

When Mu Yunzhou saw this, he immediately felt uncomfortable. You know, in the past, others always avoided him, and he had never been bumped into so blatantly.

The world is going downhill. These people are so snobbish. If they were not down and out, how could they know the fickleness of human nature?

Those people who had been chasing him in the past, now seeing that his family was in decline, actually took advantage of his misfortune. What's more, his former mortal enemy, Mu Yunzhou, had just passed by their class and started to sneer at them. Mu Yunzhou glared at them with murderous eyes, and those people stopped talking, but they still laughed at him in a low voice.

Mu Yunzhou endured the malicious and sarcastic looks from people around him and finally walked to his own class. Seeing Shen Qingxu, Lin Shuyao, Xu Xingyi and the others not coming, he sat back in his usual seat. He looked lonely and pitiful.

Before the bell and drum for class sounded, groups of students were gathered together talking. A few of them were louder, talking to themselves as if the classroom was their home.

"Eh? Why did our Master Mu come to the library alone today?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, are your companions ignoring you because of your father's matter?"

"I heard that Prime Minister Mu committed suicide in prison out of fear of punishment. Mu Yunzhou is the only one left in the Mu Mansion now."

"Mr. Mu is now alone and helpless, which is really pitiful."

"Hahahaha, I said he was so arrogant before, but there will be a day when he can't be so arrogant anymore. He no longer has the capital to be so arrogant so soon."

"When he was arrogant before, he didn't take anyone seriously. But now... I really feel sorry for him."

"Even the little followers from before are gone."

Someone saw Shen Qingxu and a group of people walking towards the class from a distance, and coughed twice, signaling others not to go too far.

Unexpectedly, the fearless man shouted even louder: "Look, Mu Yunzhou is all alone now. Even the princess doesn't want to play with him. How pitiful. Hahahahaha..."

Shen Qingxu walked in, followed by Cheng Xu, Xu Ran and a group of people.

"Hey, where did I get the dog? I heard him barking before I even entered the classroom!" Cheng Xu, a tall and strong man, stood there, making the man shut up.

"What qualifications do you have to talk about Mu Yunzhou here? It's okay that you're not as good as him in academics, and you're not as good as him in family background. After all, he is the prime minister's son. How can you have the right to talk about him here!" Shen Qingxu was dissatisfied when she saw her friend being bullied, and she immediately spoke back to bully him.

"Princess, you are joking. The prime minister has already committed suicide out of fear of punishment. Where did Daliang find a prime minister?" Another person who is not afraid of death has come!

Cheng Xu curled his lips. What is this person jumping about?

"Oh, I didn't know that. The news that the prime minister committed suicide out of fear of punishment, the imperial edict clearly stated that the prime minister was unwilling to be framed and took poison to prove his innocence. How come it became like this when you said it?"

"Look at my memory. I guess you won't be able to see the imperial edict. You should ask your relatives who are officials to find out why the prime minister took poison."

When that person saw Shen Qingxu and the others trying their best to protect Mu Yunzhou, he knew that he would not gain any advantage, so he left in disappointment.

Shen Qingxu sat down in the seat next to Mu Yunzhou.

"Mu Yunzhou, how are you?"

"It's fine! How can these little bastards affect me!" Mu Yunzhou flipped the book without paying much attention.

"Then how can you allow such a mean person to bully you?"

"I don't bother to pay attention to him. My family has fallen on hard times and I'm very upset."

"So what if our family has fallen into poverty? We are still here. Don't overthink it. I'll see who dares to speak rudely to you again."

Shen Qingxu raised his voice and made his position clear.

Mu Yunzhou felt warm in his heart. All he was thinking about now was how to help his father find evidence. He didn't have time to care about those who had taken advantage of his father's misfortune in the past. It was enough for him to have these good friends around him now.

Seeing that Mu Yunzhou was not in a good mood and his usually arrogant face had lost its luster, Cheng Xu comforted him and said, "Mu Yunzhou, don't be afraid. If someone bullies you in the future, just beat them back! We have our boss to support you!"

"Yes, we all believe that Prime Minister Mu is innocent, but we don't have enough evidence yet."

"Don't be discouraged. Hold on. One day, everything will come to light."

A group of people around him were comforting him.

Mu Yunzhou was deeply moved when he saw everyone defending him, but he also felt particularly ashamed. Everyone believed in his father's innocence, but he was still complaining about himself!

At this moment, the bells and drums rang!

The teacher also came to teach. The people who were originally gathering around him dispersed and everyone sat quietly in their seats listening to the teacher's lecture.

Mu Yunzhou was always thinking about finding evidence and taking revenge on the person behind the scenes. He didn't listen to a word the teacher said. He didn't even hear the teacher calling him to answer a question. It was not until Shen Qingxu called him that he came back to his senses.

He stood there in a daze. When the teacher saw Mu Yunzhou like this, he realized that the child was still in grief and it was really difficult for him.

After class, the teacher walked out of the classroom and listened to his fellow students talking about what they were doing.

"Mu Yunzhou used to be a good student, but he fell into depravity and was transferred from Heaven Grade A Class to Yellow Grade B Class. Now he looks like this, I guess he can't complete his studies, right?"

"What's the point of completing his studies when his family is in this state?"

"Can he redress his parents' innocence? Just because he is so ignorant and incompetent?"

The teacher shook his head. These students probably didn't know how glorious Prime Minister Mu was in the past. He was able to call the shots in the court and had a very high reputation among the people. How could his son be such a useless person?

Xu Xingyi had just entered the classroom when he heard people discussing Prime Minister Mu's family affairs. Most of them were talking about how miserable Mu Yunzhou was now, and how happy it was to see the people doing so.

"If you have the time to talk about Mu Yunzhou, why don't you let your parents work hard and become prime ministers? No matter how poor they are, they are not comparable to you useless people."

"Why do you speak so harshly?"

"What human language do you speak to a dog?"

"you......"

"Don't mess with him, go away!"

"You coward, what are you afraid of him for? Can he use force in the library?"

"You know that money is rich, right? When he saw Xu Xingyi, he walked around him respectfully. You messed with him, do you want to die?"

In the afternoon, after the martial arts class, Mu Yunzhou took a leave and went home.

Looking at the huge Mu Mansion, only his home is so deserted.

Mu Yunzhou ran to his father's study, trying to look for some letters or memorials to see if he could find any clues.

Mu Yunzhou looked at the study room full of books about preparing for the imperial examinations and felt overwhelmed. What was wrong with his study room? Why was it all about the imperial examinations? Who did this?

Who did it?

Where is his father's memorial?

Where is the desk where his father keeps his letters?

Mu Yunzhou was helpless. He sat at the door of the study, looking at the soil not far away. His parents were dead, and he couldn't even bring their bodies back for burial. His parents were really miserable.

Suddenly, he remembered that the emperor and empress had collected his parents' bodies personally. Would they know something, or had they discovered it already?

Thinking of this, Mu Yunzhou went to the stable, mounted his horse and headed towards the palace.

He wants to ask his cousin the emperor for an explanation!
