Yuan Hao looked at Mrs. Mu, and then his eyes fell on Mu Xuechu.
The look in his eyes was like that of a hunter who has discovered his prey, with a hint of danger.
The daughter of the Mu family is not bad in terms of beauty or background, and the Mu family holds military power, which is of great benefit to him.
If I could marry the daughter of the Mu family...
Within a moment, the thought came to Yuan Hao's mind. Now that Mu Rufeng was in prison, General Mu was not in the capital.
His father handed the case over to him for trial. To others it was a hot potato, but to him it was a God-given opportunity.
Yuan Hao collected his thoughts and said politely: "Mrs. Mu, there is no need to be polite."
He asked: "Madam, are you here to visit Mu Rufeng? Don't worry, he is fine in Dali Temple. This case will be tried by the king. I will definitely find out the cause of the matter and give a satisfactory explanation to the Mu family and the Zhao family.
.”
Mrs. Mu didn't feel very relieved after hearing his words. On the contrary, she had a bad premonition.
But she didn't dare to show it, so she could only say thank you, and then left with her daughter.
Yuan Hao kept staring at Mu Xuechu's back, his eyes filled with determination to win.
Mu Xuechu noticed something. After leaving Dali Temple, she reached out and tugged on Mrs. Mu's sleeve and said, "Mom, I feel that His Highness Prince Ping has been looking at me."
Mrs. Mu was shocked. She patted Mu Xuechu's hand and comforted her and said, "Don't panic, even if he is the prince, he doesn't dare to mess around."
Mu Xuechu didn't think so. She always felt that Prince Ping and the eldest princess were not good friends. The eldest princess pestered her brother, and Prince Ping, who looked inconspicuous, was married to the Han family.
Feeling anxious and uneasy, mother and daughter got into the carriage and left Dali Temple.
There was a carriage parked not far away, and those in the carriage were Yuan Chen and Xiao Jialan.
Xin Ruyi and Ye Jinming were also there. They saw Yuan Chen's carriage when they left Dali Temple, so they got on it and told Yuan Chen and Xiao Jialan what Mrs. Mu had said about humiliating Xin Ruyi.
Later, when they saw Yuan Hao entering, they did not get out of the car.
Ye Jinming said: "Do you think Yuan Hao will take this opportunity to threaten Mrs. Mu and ask her to marry her daughter to him?"
Yuan Chen felt that this was a possibility, and said: "He will naturally not miss such a good opportunity. Although the Zhao family has a high status in the court, the Mu family holds military power.
However, his marriage to Han Leyi has been finalized a long time ago, and even if he really has this intention, he would not dare to do it openly, otherwise his father will kill him."
Ye Jinming nodded and said, "We'd better leave the Mu family's affairs alone and let Prince Ping make trouble inside."
Xin Ruyi was stunned, frowning and worried, then heard Ye Jinming say: "Mrs. Mu humiliates you like this, doesn't she think she is powerful? Then let her sacrifice her daughter to save her son.
, what should we worry about?"
Xiao Jialan felt that Ye Jinming was really defending his shortcomings. He just wanted to vent his anger for Xin Ruyi and make Mrs. Mu realize her mistake.
Yuan Chen agreed: "Okay, then forget about it. Let's go back to the house."
Xin Ruyi blinked her eyes and did not say anything to dissuade her. She knew that they were just talking and would not really leave her alone.
The four of them left Dali Temple in a carriage.
At this time, Yuan Hao had already arrived at the room where the prisoners were being interrogated, and not long after, Mu Rufeng was brought in.
Looking at Yuan Hao sitting on the chair, Mu Rufeng looked a little stunned and asked: "Why is His Highness Prince Ping here?"
Yuan Hao said: "Young Master Mu must not know yet, right? My father has handed over this matter to me for trial.
Tell me, what happened that day? How did you kill Zhao Jie."
