Xue Wenyu on the side didn't want to let the two of them continue to make trouble. It was enough after all the trouble they had endured until now.

As for what happened between him and this woman, he didn't want to share the process with others.

"Please introduce yourself. Who are you?" Xue Wenyu asked seriously.

"My last name is Mu, my name is Mu Yingbao, I'm sixteen years old this year. If today's wedding ceremony doesn't count, I'm unmarried." Seeing that Xue Wenyu only asked questions and did not force her to kneel down, Mu Yingbao was very content and answered in a good mood.

This is how people should be. If you respect me one inch, I will respect you ten feet!

Xue Wenyu was a little surprised as he didn't expect her to answer him so obediently.

"Well, just tell me directly how you got into the bridal sedan. Are you coveting the position of the prince's wife? Or is there some other hidden story? Don't be afraid, just tell me the truth. This prince will protect you and will never allow anyone to hurt you." Xue Wenyu wanted to sound fierce, but his tone was not that way when he spoke.

As soon as he said this, he wanted to slap himself in the face.

What are you doing? Isn't this an interrogation? Why does it seem like you are trying to trick or seduce a decent woman?

"Oh, it's like this, my uncle took me into the mansion, and my aunt and other sisters were all very nice to me, and they treated me well every day. Then, one day when we were walking in the garden, they talked about my eldest sister's marriage, the one who was originally going to marry you.

Then, I learned about the rumors outside that something had happened to you, the prince, and you might be dead outside and never come back.

The concubines in the mansion wiped their tears and said that my elder sister was pitiful, saying that she would be a widow as soon as she got married, and her life would be ruined. They also said that I was a nemesis, and that I had a bad reputation because my parents had died, so I couldn't get married, which was also quite pitiful.

They thought, if that's the case, why not turn a bad thing into a good thing? So they suggested that I marry in place of my elder sister. In this way, you can explain to your Xue family, my elder sister will have a new choice, and I will also have a good home. It can be regarded as killing three birds with one stone!

At first, my eldest sister disagreed, and my aunt also refused.

But later on, I don’t know what happened, my aunt also fell in love with her. I think it was probably because she felt sorry for my older sister.

They asked me directly, and I thought, my uncle's family is so good to me, and I have nothing, how can I repay them? Anyway, my title of being the unlucky one for my parents makes it difficult for me to find a husband.

Although my uncle's family treats me very well and can support me, I can't rely on them for the rest of my life, right?

So, after thinking it over, I decided to agree.

In this way, I not only repaid my great uncle's family, but also found a home for myself. So, I am here.

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. As for whether you believe it or not, that's up to you." Mu Yingbao told the whole story from beginning to end, picking out the key points, just like chatting with people.

There was no mention of her asking for ten thousand taels of silver, nor was there any mention of asking for Mu Jin's original dowry.

The rest was basically true, so she didn't need to lie, and she didn't feel any pressure at all. After she finished speaking, she hugged the round pillow and blinked her big eyes at Xue Wenyu.

"She lied. How could my Mu family be the kind of treacherous people? It's obvious that she coveted the position of the prince's wife and wanted to take his place to enjoy the wealth and glory." Mu Yongjie was very annoyed.

He really didn't expect that this person would actually tell the truth. Wasn't she worried that she would offend the Mu family by saying this?

Why didn't she think about it? Even if she entered the Xue family, the Xue family already knew that she was a fake, and they also knew her identity and saw her behavior. How could they possibly conflict with the Mu family to protect her? So, women are naive and stupid.

Do you really think that after marrying into his family and going through the marriage ceremony, you will become the prince's wife?

"I didn't lie. I can swear to God. What I said today is a lie. I will choke to death when eating meat, choke to death when drinking soup, fall to death when walking, get sores on my head, pus on my feet, I won't be able to have children when I get married, and if I do get pregnant, the children will be born without sperm. Anyway, I will not die a good death." Mu Yingbao swore without any guilt.

Of course, the vicious oaths all had a purpose. After all, she didn't lie just now, so the retribution would not fall on her.

"You, you, you." Mu Yongjie's face turned purple after listening to Mu Yingbao's extremely vicious oath.

But he felt guilty because he was the one who lied and deceived others, as was their shepherd family.

The oath was just a formality, not many people would take it seriously, otherwise many people in the world would have died from lightning long ago. However, who would feel comfortable being cursed like this? Besides, his eldest daughter, Mu Yongjie, was ten years old this year, and in three or four years she would be old enough to get married.

"My Lord, you all heard that I am an orphan. If he asks my concubine, maidservant or old woman to come out to testify, I think it's better not to bother. The result is unpredictable, and there will definitely be no one to stand on my side and testify for me.

"Oh, why am I so pitiful? I don't care. I have said everything I should say. You can handle this matter as you wish. There are so many people who died unjustly in the world. I am not the only one who can be wronged." After saying this sadly, Mu Yingbao looked at Xue Wenyu pitifully while holding the round pillow.

Handsome guy, I'm optimistic about you. You're a smart person, right? I can tell from your expression that you know what's going on in your mind, right? In terms of status, you're not lower than theirs. Don't compromise, don't bow your head!

Mu Yingbao really put everything on the line, so she didn't leave any way out for herself with the Mu family. She had analyzed that in this situation, she had no choice but to do so and not be indecisive. If she was lucky, she would have a chance of winning.

Otherwise, you will offend both sides and become cannon fodder.

Another reason why Mu Yingbao bet on Master Xue was that he was young, and the phrase "young and vigorous" was not without reason. The more capable Master Xue was in both civil and military affairs and the more calm he was in his work, it did not mean that he could tolerate any sand in his eyes.

What's more, the other party still thought that he was dead and would never come back, so he had other ideas.

If it were his father, Lord Xue, he might not have made long-term plans and would have kept things quiet for the time being and slowly settled the scores later.

As for young people, they are always more confident and conceited than older people! They think that even if they openly conflict with the Mu family, they can still settle it!

"This matter is really difficult to handle." Xue Wenyu laughed and looked at Mu Yongjie.

Mu Yongjie also came back to his senses at this moment. Why was he so excited and lost his composure? The more he was like that, the more it told these people that he was guilty!

"It's difficult, why not listen to what you think, Prince? What do you plan to do? I believe that if Prince wants to hear her tell the truth, there are plenty of ways to do it." Mu Yongjie simply kicked the ball to Xue Wenyu himself.

Mu Yingbao understood what he said. It was a provocation, meant to stimulate the prince to torture him and extract a confession!

Prince? Handsome guy?

Mu Yingbao sat cross-legged on the couch, one hand still holding the round pillow, and the other hand on her mouth, biting her fingers and looking at Xue Wenyu nervously...
