Mrs. Mu looked at Xin Ruyi, she could feel her sincerity, but this was a matter of life and death, and there was a malicious King Ping who was hindering it. Is her son really okay?
Just as he was thinking about it, Yuan Chen's voice came from behind him: "Ruyi is right."
Mrs. Mu turned back to look at the prince and bowed hurriedly.
Yuan Chen did not go to help her, but said: "Gu is helping her because of Ruyi's face. She is Jin Ming's sister and Gu's sister. After Gu and Jialan got married, this country
The government is not something that just anyone can afford."
As he spoke, he walked straight towards Xiao Jialan, sat down next to her, and held her hand.
Xiao Jialan knew that Yuan Chen was supporting Xin Ruyi, even if it was Mu Rufeng's mother, it would be useless. Yuan Chen would not give anyone face if he offended someone from their Duke's palace.
Mrs. Mu was horrified when she heard that once the third young lady married the prince, the status of the Duke's palace in the court would be unmatched. She had been fooled by lard before, but now it was too late to regret it.
She said: "It's my fault. I offended the second lady before. Please forgive me."
Xin Ruyi stopped her salute and said, "I was also wrong. I shouldn't have contradicted Madam. No matter what, Madam is still an elder.
I thought Madam was stubborn and would not bow her head and admit her mistakes with others."
Mrs. Mu felt a little ashamed and said: "After you left, Feng'er said something to me, but it made me wake up.
I have always been ashamed of my origin and felt that I had embarrassed the general, so I wanted to find a decent family for my children.
But I have forgotten that over the years, I have never suffered any grievances in the General's Mansion."
If so, she asked for it herself. The worst thing she did in her life was to choose a concubine for her husband when she was pregnant with a son.
Her husband originally refused to agree, but she forced him to agree.
The couple had conflicts over this, and later the concubine used some tricks to climb into her husband's bed, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a bastard in just one night.
Later, her husband kept guarding the southern border and came back less and less often.
Now that I think about it, it's all her fault. The couple can obviously be the envy of others, but it's her who is so mediocre that she always feels she's not good enough for him.
When Mrs. Mu thought about the past, she felt like she was awakening from a big dream. When you meet the right person in your life, you should cherish it instead of being timid and looking forward and backward.
It's a pity that it took her decades to understand such a simple truth.
Mrs. Mu held Xin Ruyi's hand and said, "You are a good boy. Feng'er is lucky to meet you."
Xin Ruyi smiled slightly and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has agreed, Madam, don't worry, Mu Rufeng will be fine.
It’s just that Prince Ping has already set his sights on sister Xuechu. In order to prevent Prince Ping from plotting secretly, it’s better to let sister Xuechu live in our Duke’s mansion.”
Mrs. Mu didn't expect Xin Ruyi to be so considerate. It's not safe for their Mu family now that they don't have a male.
She nodded and said: "Then I'll trouble you."
"No trouble."
In fact, this was what they had agreed upon, because the prince had long expected that Yuan Hao had set his sights on Mu Xuechu, and was afraid that the general's palace would not be able to protect her, so Xin Ruyi spoke up and kept this sister-in-law.
Yuan Chen said: "After Madam returned, she closed the door tightly and thanked the guests. No matter what news she heard, she didn't care.
Since I have promised you, I will not let anything happen to Mu Rufeng."
