Mu Xuanyi coaxed her well, then touched her head and went inside to see how Zheng was doing.
Zheng was indeed awake, her eyes were staring blankly at the top of her head, her eyes were filled with nothingness, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"You should stay here for the next few days. I am protected by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's guards in this courtyard. They will never do anything to you." Mu Xuanyi deliberately left Long Yi in the courtyard when he just went out.
, for fear that someone would find something to do with Xiao Long Bao.
Nowadays, in such a big Prime Minister's Mansion, Zheng is the safest place to stay.
Only then did Zheng's chaotic eyes regain focus. She held Mu Xuanyi's hand tightly: "You apologize to your father, and he will forgive you. Don't get angry with him."
"I didn't apologize to him, and I don't need to apologize to him." Mu Xuanyi looked directly at Zheng and spoke calmly.
"Originally, he spoiled his concubine and destroyed his wife first. If he doesn't abide by moral ethics, how can he let others respect him?" As Mu Xuanyi spoke, he had already taken his hand out of Zheng's hand.
"I don't care what you think, or how much true love you have for him, but that's all your business. Don't try to use this to restrain me. I'm just your daughter, not a puppet you trained.
, I need to be at your mercy in everything."
Mu Xuanyi stood up straight, his gaze unwavering: "If you are obedient, stay well in this yard, and I will slowly get you back all the things you were missing before, and I will never let you go again.
I was beaten and scolded by them."
"If you don't obey, get out of here. Even if you are beaten to death outside, don't think about any possibility that I will help you in the future."
"It's up to you to choose the right and wrong of this journey. I won't interfere with your thoughts. You can think about it yourself." Mu Xuanyi closed the door and walked out without waiting for Zheng to speak to her.
As soon as she went out, she saw Xiao Long Bao lying on the door eavesdropping. Seeing her coming out so suddenly, Xiao Long Bao quickly stood up straight.
"I just want to ask you, do you want to cook for him tonight?" Xiao Longbao said a lame reason, but Mu Xuanyi did not expose her.
"Let's do it. Then someone will bring her inside to eat." Mu Xuanyi nodded.
Xiao Longbao breathed a sigh of relief and held Mu Xuanyi's finger with his small hand: "What if she doesn't like it here and doesn't want to eat?"
"Everyone is free. I respect her choice. If she wants to starve to death, she can die here. Anyway, I still have enough money to pay for her funeral expenses."
"Hey, mother, how good are you?"
The sounds outside gradually faded away, Zheng pursed her lips, and two lines of thick tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
"Let me go and let me fight that bitch!"
"Mu Xuanyi, if you have the ability to be a coward, come out if you have the ability!"
Mu Xuanmei knew about this not too early, but she didn't wait until night before she rushed over with her men aggressively.
There were guards outside blocking her, but they didn't dare to take action against Mu Xuanmei, so they could only stop her weakly.
The unbearable insults could be clearly heard from the outside into the courtyard. Mu Xuanyi's heart did not waver, and she even poured herself a cup of tea.
"She scolds you so much, and you don't even want to go out?" Xiaolongbao held her favorite osmanthus cake in her hand and stuffed her mouth full.
"Are you going out for a beating? And even if I don't do anything, someone will help me deal with it." Mu Xuanyi didn't want to have anything to do with Mu Xuanmei. After all, she had already beaten Aunt Feng, and during this period
I also had a lot of bad temper.
"This is not like your style." Xiao Longbao muttered. Under normal circumstances, Mu Xuanyi would have rushed out to fight the opponent at this time. Of course, there is a high probability that Mu Xuanmei would not be able to deal with Mu Xuanmei at all.
What does Xuan Yi do?
She still believes in her mother’s eloquence!
Mu Xuanyi didn't say anything, just sipping tea by herself. But while she was sipping tea, her eyes always fell on the closed door, intentionally or unintentionally.
Mu Xuanyi was not wrong. As expected, not long after, someone came in a hurry and persuaded Mu Xuanmei to leave, who was making a lot of noise outside.
Mu Xuanmei didn't expect that Mu Xuanyi would go so far and openly go to their courtyard to beat people. Seeing Aunt Feng's dying state, she couldn't control the anger in her heart and wanted to teach Mu Xuanyi a lesson.
.
However, the other party acted like a coward at this time and refused to see anyone. Even his father, who usually doted on him the most, sent someone to persuade him to leave and not to cause trouble to her.
Mu Xuanmei didn't understand why everyone started to favor Mu Xuanyi at this time. She was clearly her father's favorite child, and she was about to get married to the third prince. In what way was she inferior to Mu Xuanyi?
"Dad, you can't be too partial to her! Look at how she beat my mother. As a daughter, how can I just watch my mother suffer this disaster?" Mu Xuanmei was persuaded to go back but she didn't do anything.
After returning to his residence, he went directly to find Mu Zhiyuan.
Mu Zhiyuan was sitting in the study, looking at his daughter's mournful look, and sighed heavily: "Did you know that someone sent someone to deliver the imperial edict today?"
"Even if there are people in the palace supporting her, she can't be allowed to act so rampantly, it's simply lawless!" Mu Xuanmei subconsciously thought that Mu Xuanyi had found a backer.
Mu Zhiyuan shook his head and took out the imperial edict: "They came with the imperial edict. You should read it first before talking."
Mu Xuanmei had never read the imperial edict, so she walked over to check it out with confusion. After seeing the contents clearly, her face turned pale.
"How is that possible? Dad, didn't you agree that I will be the concubine? No, I don't believe it!" Mu Xuanmei almost shook her head like a rattle.
She originally thought that by marrying the third prince, she would be able to soar into the sky and no longer have to look at other people's faces. But now it seems that the situation is not what she thought.
"How could she be a concubine? How could this happen?" Mu Xuanmei fell to the ground blankly, covering her face and sobbing softly.
She finally had no time to care about Aunt Feng's affairs. After so many days of planning and calculation, she finally lost to a piece of imperial edict.
"As a concubine, you don't have enough status. As your father, you tried your best to promote good things between you and the third prince, hoping to get things done as soon as possible. Who expected that you changed your mind midway and insisted on following the proper rules with him?
Three letters and six betrothals, now the matter has come before His Majesty. Since His Majesty has decreed a marriage, we cannot disobey it." Mu Zhiyuan sighed, no matter how powerful he was, he could not go against the imperial authority.
But at this point, Mu Xuanmei was so well protected by herself that she didn't see through it at all.
