After Jiang's death, Mu Yun stayed in the courtyard all the time, and Shangguan Rou went to enlighten her from time to time.
Facing Shangguan Rou's patient guidance, Mu Yun stared at her with hatred. Seeing this, Shangguan Rou sighed slightly, "The deal is done, you are the prince's daughter after all."
Mu Yun turned her head away and said indifferently: "She is just a concubine, how can she compare to Mu Qingyan."
Her tone was harsh, and Shangguanrou looked surprised. She was a little surprised that she would say such words. Her gentle face stiffened, and a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes. To be fair, she had never targeted Mu Yun.
But why are their mother and daughter so opposed to Yan'er? Even if she is tolerant and generous as a legitimate mother, no matter how tolerant she is, she will be selfish. Mu Yun and Jiang treat her daughter like this, so there is no need for her to go
waste time.
Seeing her unnatural expression, Mu Yun also felt the coldness coming from Shangguan Rou. She lowered her eyes and avoided her gaze, "Please come back, my aunt."
Shangguan Rou said no more, stood up and left the room.
When she reached the door, she stopped and told the guard at the door: "Without my permission, the second lady is not allowed to step out of the courtyard. If something goes wrong, you are the only one to ask."
It was rare for her to be so stern. The guard knew that the princess was angry, so he responded respectfully.
As soon as Shangguan Rou left, the room suddenly became much emptier. Mu Yun's face was slightly cold, and her hand holding the handkerchief gradually tightened.
Her mother is dead, why are you talking about this?
The maid behind her was so angry that she didn't dare to breathe. The young lady and the princess had this attitude for several days. It's no wonder that the princess was angry.
Although she is the young lady's personal maid, she feels that the princess is already very generous to her.
It turns out that the relationship between the young lady and the princess was not as frozen as it is now.
Really not wanting Mu Yun to go on like this, the maid mustered up the courage to speak: "Miss, I have a message."
Mu Yun glanced at her and said in a deep voice: "Speak."
The maid knelt down, barely daring to raise her head to look at her, and said hesitantly: "I know that the young lady is in grief, but it was indeed the madam who assassinated the third young lady first. The third young lady is the quasi-Crown Princess, His Royal Highness, he..."
They all know how much His Highness the Prince protects the Third Miss. If Madam targets her like this, the Prince will definitely take revenge.
"You also speak for her?" Mu Yun looked at her coldly, almost breaking her silver teeth.
The maid knelt on the ground and did not dare to look up at her, "I don't dare." But she felt that the young lady should not transfer her hatred to the princess.
The prince personally gave the order, and the princess had no right to interfere.
The princess treats servants like them well, she cannot be a ruthless person like Qing Ya.
Mu Yun looked away, her eyes dim and unclear. She naturally knew what the maid meant, but she couldn't overcome this hurdle.
The person who died was her mother, how could she pretend that nothing happened?
She got up and walked to the bed and sat down, staring ahead in trance. Her mother had been with her for sixteen years. She also knew that her mother had done a lot of wrong things in private over the years, but she had always been very good to her.
Even if her attitude is sometimes too tough and it always prevents her from learning something, it is all for her own good. Her mother is working hard to make her future better.
Mu Qingyan did not target their mother and daughter, and even ignored some things many times, and never belittled her, but...
Mu Yun was very confused. After all, her mother died in her hands. Even if the prince gave the order, it was for Mu Qingyan.
Anyway, there was no way she could continue to face Mu Qingyan calmly.
Even if we never interact with each other until we die.
——
As soon as Shangguan Rou returned to the courtyard, Mu Qingyan came.
"Mother." She smiled and led Fenxiang and others into the house.
Shangguan Rou just glanced at her and sighed: "Sit down."
Seeing Shangguan Rou's unhappy expression, Mu Qingyan pursed her lips and asked the maid beside her with her eyes.
The maid buried her head and whispered softly: "The princess just came back from the second lady's place."
Mu Qingyan's eyes narrowed, she sat next to her, put her hand on Shangguanrou's, and said comfortingly: "If she insists on refusing to look back, mother, don't persuade her. My daughter has already given them a chance. It's Jiang's
I don’t cherish it myself.”
At the end of the sentence, her voice was a little cold.
Shangguan Rou looked at her daughter distressedly, "But I don't want another Jiang family to come out."
If Mu Yun continues like this for a long time, she will definitely take revenge on Yan'er.
"Mother." Mu Qingyan leaned against her, "Don't worry, I can handle it. I have Mu Qi and the others around me, as well as Bailiyou."
"Yan'er?" Shangguanrou was startled by Bailiyou's words. She pulled Mu Qingyan to persuade her earnestly: "Even if the prince likes you, you can't call him by his name. If others hear him,
It’s going to be big trouble.”
Mu Qingyan blinked and nodded obediently, "My daughter, write it down so that she won't do it again in the future."
She wondered if she would be shocked if she told her mother about their private relationship.
After all, she never thought that she and Bailiyou would be like this.
"That's good, that's good." Shangguan Rou stroked her face lovingly, "The prince is pampering you, and my mother is also happy, but my mother hopes that you can be safe."
If the palace is not the prime minister's palace, it is just a place where people eat people without spitting out their bones.
"You have to remember that no one can be trusted in the palace. If you are wronged, tell us."
Mu Qingyan nodded and looked up helplessly, "Mother, I haven't married into the East Palace yet, and you are already getting upset."
"well--"
"It's not long before your wedding. How can I feel so relieved?" Shangguan Rou's eyes darkened. Once Yan'er became the Crown Princess, she didn't know how many people would target her.
Mu Qingyan pursed her lips and looked at her firmly, "Don't worry, mother, my daughter will definitely protect herself."
"You have really grown up." Shangguan Rou was somewhat pleased.
Mu Qingyan suddenly asked, "Mother, what would you think if I killed Mu Yun?" She was not kidding, and she would not be lenient if Mu Yun had any intention of dealing with her.
She wanted to protect the Mu family, but she had to live first.
There are some things that she must give up.
After hearing her words, Shangguan Rou was stunned for a moment and stared into her daughter's eyes. Then she suddenly realized that from some unknown time, her daughter's originally clear eyes had some things that she couldn't see clearly.
For a long time, she did not answer Mu Qingyan first, but hugged her gently, and her gentle words rang in her ears, "Mom, I believe you, you must have your own reasons."
Suddenly, Mu Qingyan's eyes turned red. In fact, she had changed a lot. Maybe grandpa and the others had noticed it.
Shangguan Rou hugged her and said, "You need to be well."
As long as she can be safe, she is content.
"Yes." It will definitely happen.
Not only does she want to be safe, but everyone in the Mu family wants to be safe, Mu Qingyan thought in her heart.
