Only today did he know that Mu Yun actually viewed Yan'er like this.
His gaze was so cold that Mu Yun trembled slightly and bit her lip in silence.
Seeing this, Mu Nanping sat back and looked at her coldly, "You are so disappointing. You are only jealous of others. Have you ever thought about your own fault? Don't you have nothing wrong at all?"
Hearing this, Mu Yun's expression froze. Indeed, she and her mother also did some wrong things.
"Yan'er is kind-hearted and forgives you mother and daughter, but instead of being ungrateful, you bite her back."
His voice became colder and colder, and Mu Yun finally panicked. Guang Guang stood up and knelt in front of him, "Father... my daughter knows she was wrong."
She was really scared, and she really regretted it. If she had stayed on her own terms, wouldn't these things have happened?
Mu Nanping lowered his head and saw the marks she showed when she stretched out her hand. A flash of pain flashed through her eyes. She was helpless! He sighed, "It's too late..."
She was also his daughter, so how could he bear to watch Yun'er suffer, but her innocence was ruined, and she was afraid she would never find a good family again.
No man in the capital would be willing to marry a woman who has lost her virginity.
Mu Yun raised her head and looked at him in disbelief, kneeling straight, "Father?" Why is it too late?
Mu Nanping leaned over to bring her up, and softened his voice, "Tomorrow, my father will go with Yan'er to meet the Holy Emperor to seek justice for you. But once the matter is exposed, you will never be able to find a good marriage again.
From now on, just stay in the palace peacefully."
"No" Mu Yun sat down, then immediately grabbed his sleeve and begged: "Father, please, don't tell anyone. My daughter is begging you."
"But you are willing to be insulted by a guard like this?" Mu Nanping suddenly scolded.
Mu Yun was frightened for a moment, and slowly let go of her hand, feeling a little dazed, "You all know-"
It must have been Mu Qingyan who said it. Everyone knew it. Mu Yun's hands were clenched so tightly that her nails were almost embedded in her palms.
Looking at her expression, Mu Nanping guessed what she was thinking, and immediately frowned tightly, "At this time, you still suspect that Yan'er is harming you. If she doesn't tell you, are you going to hide it from us for the rest of your life?
"
"No, it's not like that." Mu Yun shook her head, suddenly covered her face and started crying.
She didn't want to, who knew that Jiuqi would actually attack her, and she regretted it very much!
Mu Nanping turned his head and said, "Jiu Qi is under King Qi. Although he can't do anything to King Qi, Jiu Qi must pay the price, and Yan'er and His Highness the Crown Prince will also come forward."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince...Qingyan" They were actually willing to help her? Mu Yun was a little confused.
Mu Nanping shook his head, "Yan'er didn't do it for you, she did it for the Prime Minister's Palace. If it were you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to keep such a clear distinction between public and private matters."
Even he was a little surprised that Yan'er would be so generous.
Mu Yun was ashamed. She really couldn't do it. Although she was older, her thoughts were not as clear as Mu Qingyan's.
It was at this moment that Mu Yun truly realized the difference between herself and Mu Qingyan. Is this Qingyan's magnanimity as a legitimate daughter?
"Reflect on it yourself." After saying this, Mu Nanping turned and left.
Xiao Tao's voice sounded outside, "Best farewell to the prince." Then she pushed the door open and entered.
Walking straight towards Mu Yun, her face was full of worry, "Miss..." She seemed to have heard the prince's roar just now.
His eyes fell on Mu Yun's face, and sure enough, there was a bright red slap mark on the left side of the young lady's face.
Xiao Tao covered her mouth in surprise, "Miss, your face."
She turned around and ran out of the house. After a while, she brought a basin of cold water, soaked the brocade handkerchief and carefully helped Mu Yun sit up.
"Slave, I'll wipe it for you."
Mu Yun didn't refuse, or rather didn't respond, until the cold handkerchief touched her face, and she subconsciously let out a "hiss" sound.
Xiao Tao paused for a moment, then moved a little softer, with eyes full of love, "Your Majesty should take care of the health of these young ladies." How could he be so harsh? The young lady's health was not good to begin with, and the Prince still beat her.
Miss.
After finishing her words, Mu Yun looked up at her with a faint warning. Xiao Tao knew that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly knelt down.
"I know I was wrong." She was the one who talked too much. As a servant, how could she talk about the prince in private?
"Get up, I don't blame you."
Her mind is so confused now that she doesn't know what to think.
Should she think that Mu Qingyan was willing to help her seek justice regardless of past grievances, or should she think that her reputation was about to be ruined?
Seeking justice means that the Holy One will know about this matter, and then more and more people will know about it...
Mu Yun admitted that she did not have enough courage to face it, but she could no longer escape.
——
After Mu Nanping left Mu Yun's courtyard, he went to Liuyan Pavilion.
When she saw his figure, Mu Feng was stunned for a moment, and then quickly went into the house to report.
"Master, the prince is here."
Mu Qingyan and Mu Xuan looked at each other, and they immediately stood up and went out to greet them, just in time to see Mu Nanping step into the yard.
She greeted him, and Mu Xuan followed behind.
Fenxiang and others also quickly saluted, "Your Majesty."
Mu Nanping nodded, "Everyone, get up."
"Father."
Mu Nanping glanced at his son and said, "Xuan'er is here too."
"Daddy didn't bring a maid with him." Seeing that there was no one behind him, Mu Qingyan hurriedly walked over to help him.
Seeing her, Mu Nanping felt a little better, with a soft face, "Do you think dad is a pampered person?"
He was used to being alone and with a few guards, but he was really not used to having a few maids.
Several people entered the house, and Fenxiang immediately went to prepare some snacks and tea.
"Where is the maid that daddy brought back yesterday?" She looked at the maid with a strange face. She was sure that she was not from the palace.
Mu Nanping was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "That's from King Jin's side. Someone has been sent back."
Mu Qingyan couldn't help but laugh, well, it turned out to be Baili Jindai, and he was the only one who had the leisure to go out and not forget to take care of himself despite being flooded.
"I have to thank him." This time, I really should thank Baili Jin. I think King Jin must have taken care of his father a lot.
"My father just visited your second sister." Mu Nanping said.
Suddenly, the atmosphere fell silent.
Mu Qingyan was not surprised, "Did the second sister collide with dad?"
Her mood swings were too great during this period, and it was probably difficult for her to stay calm.
Mu Nanping sighed, "I didn't expect that so much happened during the days I left, which made you feel wronged."
He touched Mu Qingyan's head, his eyes full of love.
"My daughter is fine. With Mu Qi and the others here, her daughter is safe." Mu Qingyan curled her lips and smiled.
"Okay, okay, you all will be rewarded heavily!" Mu Nanping looked at Mu Yan and the others.
Everyone looked at each other, then they all saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Your mission is to protect the young lady. The rest can be put aside." Mu Nanping looked at them and lectured them.
Mu Qi nodded heavily.
Mu Qingyan couldn't help laughing, "Don't worry, dad. If you have to believe them, how should dad decide on the second sister's matter?"
Should I choose to settle the matter or seek justice?
Even if she wanted to suppress Baili Qi, she still had to look to her father to make the decision.
After all, it is related to the reputation of Prince Xiang's Mansion. If you are not completely sure, you can only give up with regret.
Mu Nanping's face darkened when he mentioned this, "Jiuqi must pay the price."
A little guard dared to touch his daughter. He couldn't swallow this feeling!
He and his father spent their entire lives for Bailishi, but in the end, his daughter was ruined by a guard.
It seems that dad has made up his mind.
"You come with me to the palace tomorrow."
Mu Xuan's eyes flickered, "Father wants to involve Yan'er?"
Originally it was just a matter between the Jiang family and Baili Qi. Yan'er was just a victim. He didn't want his sister to take risks for someone who wanted to kill her.
"Brother..." Mu Qingyan stopped talking.
Mu Nanping frowned slightly and looked up at him.
Mu Xuan continued: "Does father really intend to let Yan'er come forward? If she intervenes, wouldn't it be too unfair to her?"
Jiang wanted Yan'er's life many times and even drugged Yan'er. How come her own daughter couldn't bear it?
"Is this your attitude when talking to your father?" Mu Nanping looked at Mu Xuan with some displeasure, "As a father, of course he also wants your sister to be safe, but this matter is also related to her. If she comes forward, the Holy Spirit will not
No matter what."
In fact, he was very hesitant, but both of them were her daughters, so he could only weigh the pros and cons. He had been favoring Yan'er all along, so this time, he should regard it as making up for Yun'er.
Mu Xuan's face was slightly cold and he turned his head away, "So father is going to use Yan'er to get the prince to come forward?"
He was naturally happy to be able to attack Baili Qi, but if it was to take advantage of Yan'er, he would not agree.
"Yun'er is also your sister." After a while, Mu Nanping said in a deep voice, "We are the only ones left with her."
Mu Xuan had a cold face, trying his best to suppress the emotion in his heart that wanted to refute, and just replied expressionlessly: "I only have one sister, Yan'er, and all I have to do is protect her."
As for other people, as long as they have hurt Yan'er, he will not forgive them.
Not to mention that Jiang has done so many wrong things, and he will not defend Mu Yun.
Mu Yun is just his concubine, and Yan'er is the same mother as him.
"Xuan'er!" Mu Nanping suddenly raised his voice. Mu Xuan pursed his lips and looked directly at him without any fear.
Looking at this son who was already taller than him, Mu Nanping felt very complicated. Xuan'er cared too much about Yan'er.
He sighed, quite helplessly, "Xuan'er, you are the prince of the palace, you should know what is important and what is important."
Mu Xuan didn't answer. He would naturally think about the palace, but he didn't want to stand up for someone who hurt Yan'er.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little solid. Fenxiang stood behind and swallowed hard. The prince and the prince actually started to quarrel?
They, the servants, could only remain silent. They were not allowed to speak in this kind of situation.
Fenxiang looked worriedly, thinking about the sudden appearance of someone beside her.
She looked up and saw that it was Mu Feng. Mu Feng smiled at her.
Fenxiang silently withdrew her gaze, pursed her lips and said nothing, even a little speechless.
Mu Feng's face froze, looking slightly embarrassed.
"Ahem." Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more serious, Mu Qingyan had to cough lightly, "Brother, daddy, please stop arguing. It's giving me a headache."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two grown men looked at each other with nervous expressions on their faces.
Mu Qingyan was a little dumbfounded, "Brother, don't be angry, I'll go there tomorrow."
"Sister..." Mu Xuan's eyes darkened, he was unwilling.
Mu Qingyan smiled comfortingly, "The Mu family cannot bear such injustice, and must seek justice."
Mu Nanping felt both pleased and a little sad, "Good boy."
"My daughter is not here for my second sister." Mu Qingyan said.
The latter nodded, "Father knows that."
After talking for another quarter of an hour, Mu Nanping got up and left.
After seeing Mu Nanping off, Mu Qingyan turned her head to look at the expressionless Mu Xuan, and suddenly held his arm, "Brother is still angry?"
Mu Xuan tilted his head slightly and snorted coldly.
"Okay, brother, don't be angry." Mu Qingyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she could only comfort Mu Xuan in different ways.
After some coaxing, Mu Xuan was coaxed and the two giant Buddhas were sent away. Mu Qingyan sighed.
My heart is both sweet and helpless.
"Miss, you have to go to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit tomorrow. Let's rest early tonight." Fenxiang suggested.
Mu Qingyan's eyes flashed slightly, "Don't worry, let's go and meet the second sister."
Although Jiuqi is just a guard, he has Bailiqi's support behind him. It is not easy to deal with him. Even if he succeeds, he must prepare for the worst.
I'm afraid Baili Qihui will try every possible means to save his life.
Is the young lady going to see the second young lady again? Fenxiang opened her mouth, but in the end she could only shut her mouth and follow her obediently.
Whatever the lady wants to do, she supports it.
When they reached Mu Yun's yard, Xiao Tao ran over.
Looking at Mu Qingyan, she looked nervous and her tone was a little stuttering: "Three, Miss Three."
"Where is your young lady?" Mu Qingyan nodded and asked.
"Miss, you are resting." Before Xiao Tao could finish speaking, Mu Qingyan walked past her and entered the house.
Xiao Tao could only shut up.
As soon as she opened the door, Mu Yun raised her head and saw her coming, her expression instantly became stiff.
"What are you doing here again?" Mu Yun looked away, her tone lukewarm.
Fenxiang was a little dissatisfied, but she didn't say anything. She just felt that the second young lady was ungrateful. The young lady helped her, but the second young lady treated her like this.
Mu Qingyan walked to the table and sat down, and Fenxiang immediately poured her a cup of tea.
"Father has already looked for you." As he spoke, his eyes stayed on the left side of Mu Yun's face.
That slap was probably given by my father.
Mu Yun stiffened and said coldly: "What does it have to do with you?"
"Ah--"
Hearing this laughter, Mu Yun's heart tightened. Mu Qingyan had already stood up and walked to her, looking down at her.
"You are really as stubborn as your mother." Mu Qingyan said quietly.
Mu Yun raised her head fiercely. If her eyes could hurt, I'm afraid Mu Qingyan's body would have been burned by now.
"Whether you want to admit it or not, your mother Jiang is not a good person. She has repeatedly designed to harm me. This is a fact that cannot be changed."
Mu Qingyan's tone was calm, as if the victim was not her.
"Whatever you want, kill or chop him up as you please."
