"Father-in-law."
Mu Yunchen bowed to Mu Jin and shouted.
Seeing this, Mu Jin quickly helped Mu Yunchen up and said, "Your Highness, you are too polite. Please sit down and talk."
Mu Yunchen responded and sat aside with a humble and polite smile on his face.
"Father-in-law, I have something I need your help with."
"Oh? Is there something that Your Highness the Crown Prince cannot solve? Why not tell me about it?"
Mu Yunchen raised his eyes and looked at Mu Jin. The look in his eyes was dark and unclear, which made Mu Jin feel a little uncomfortable.
"Father-in-law, what I want to ask is your family affairs. Although it is inconvenient, I hope you can forgive me."
Mu Jin's heart suddenly skipped a beat and she felt something was wrong. With a puzzled look on her face, she gestured to Mu Yunchen to continue.
"Although I was young at that time, I could already learn to read and write. I vaguely remember that it was widely said in the capital that my father-in-law and mother-in-law had a deep friendship, like a couple from heaven."
"When my father-in-law took a concubine, many aristocratic families questioned it. Even... even my father was very surprised."
"Of course, there is pressure from the regent, but mainly because of the rumor that my father-in-law only loves my mother-in-law, so..."
As Mu Yunchen continued speaking, Mu Jin's expression began to change.
Finally, I could only close my eyes helplessly and sighed: "Your Highness, what you asked is indeed inconvenient.
However, since Your Highness calls me father-in-law, we are family, and it is understandable for family members to speak in a friendly manner."
Mu Yunchen looked at Mu Jin with a hint of surprise. Everyone in the court thought that since he married Mu Mu, the Prime Minister's Mansion would naturally belong to him.
But he knew that Prime Minister Mu was a fair and selfless person, and it was impossible for him to be loyal to him just because he married Mu Mu.
All he wanted was for him to treat Mumu well. If he did something wrong, the Prime Minister might not bend the law for him.
Now when I hear such words from my own family, I feel very emotional.
Royal family affection has always been cold and indifferent. Although the emperor dotes on his children, he loves power more. He loves his sons but also doubts them.
Thoughts come back together.
"I have never changed my mind about you, Madam, and it is not because I am afraid of the pressure from the Regent."
"Back then, I was penniless and fell in love with the lady at first sight. Thankfully, the lady didn't abandon me, and the regent showed me love and married me to her.
Young couples have already promised to be together for life, so how could they take concubines? "
"But, in the end, it was me who made a mistake, drank too much, and failed my wife's love!"
As he spoke, Mu Jin couldn't help but wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes. In his life, he had lived up to his king and the people, but just in this one matter, he had let his beloved down.
the other side--
"Can we still find the midwife who delivered Aunt Ning?"
Hearing this, Mu Qingqing looked puzzled: "Why is Yun'er looking for this?"
Mu Peiyun took a deep breath, held Mu Qingqing's hand, and looked at her very seriously.
"Mother, Yun'er suspects that father has never betrayed your feelings. Mu Peiyao may not be born in the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"what?!"
Mu Qingqing was very surprised and immediately stood up from her chair. Matters of family and blood ties should never be spoken casually.
"Yun'er, you... who taught you to say this?"
What Mu Qingqing was more worried about was that someone was deliberately making trouble to set a trap for her daughter.
Even if she is the Crown Princess, she may be punished if she falsely accuses the bloodline of the Prince's concubine.
Yun'er has been spoiled since she was a child, and after getting married, she has become even more spoiled by the Crown Prince. She has such a simple mind and may be easily provoked.
If Mu Peiyun knew what Mu Qingqing was thinking at the moment, he would definitely hide and laugh secretly for a long time.
Mother, Yun'er is not simple~!
Mu Peiyun stood up and helped Mu Qingqing sit down, then said: "Mother, no one taught my daughter, it's just..."
Then, Mu Peiyun told Mu Qingqing the whole story.
Mu Jin looked at Mu Yunchen in shock. Over the years, whenever his wife thought of this matter, she would make a fuss, and he felt very guilty.
He once suspected that even if he was drunk, he knew what was going on and there was no way he would go into the wrong room.
But that time, after waking up in Suning's room, I had no memory of it at all.
But Su Ning was originally the lady's personal maid, all her family members had died long ago, and her indenture contract was in the lady's hands.
She had never had any contact with outsiders on weekdays, and how could she have gotten pregnant in this mansion except for that night?
Later, Mu Jin did not pursue the matter any further, and Mu Qingqing already resented Mu Jin for this matter.
Mu Jin was eager to forget about this matter as soon as possible, so why would she take the initiative to bring it up?
No one expected that Mu Peiyao was not Mu Jin's bloodline.
So back then, Su Ning, an unmarried little girl, stayed with Mu Qingqing all day long, but had an affair with someone else, and in the end Mu Jin became the scapegoat.
Mu Yunchen's eyelashes trembled, and he continued to ask: "Father-in-law, do you remember where the midwives were found back then?"
"I thought about how she had been taking care of me for several years, and childbirth is a life-threatening moment for women, so I found three or four midwives for her."
After saying that, Mu Qingqing rubbed her brows and thought carefully for a while.
"But it's been so many years, how can I remember it so clearly? I don't even know if he is still alive."
Immediately, both mother and daughter lowered their heads. If Aunt Ning really put such a hat on their father, Mu Peiyao would also have taken advantage of the Prime Minister's Mansion's years of hard work in cultivating her.
In the end, she framed her father and brother and put them in jail, and poisoned her mother. She would never forgive Mu Peiyao for these.
Suddenly, Mu Qingqing raised her head and said earnestly, "Why not arrest Shopkeeper Yao and ask him questions?"
Mu Peiyun shook her head: "Mother, since he has already met Mu Peiyao, he will definitely not admit it easily."
Mu Peiyun was still frowning, but Mu Qingqing didn't think so much and gently shook the handkerchief in her hand.
"That's nothing to be afraid of. Mother has lived to this age and has seen your grandfather's methods in the past. She will definitely find a way to make him speak."
Mu Peiyun became interested, her eyes shining with admiration. After all, her mother had experience and the words of elders were always useful, so she also needed to learn more.
"May I ask what solution mother has?"
Mu Qingqing looked at Mu Peiyun proudly, with a gleam of pride in her eyes.
Mu Peiyun looked at her intently, and she slowly said, "Catch him and beat him up!"
The smile on Mu Peiyun's lips froze instantly. As expected, her mother was the person who was pampered by her grandfather.
