Dugu Liancheng was chatting with his father and didn't seem to notice that Mu Xue was peeking at him.
At this time, her steps suddenly became a little heavy.
After entering the house, she was a little distracted when her mother talked to her.
The mother was worried that she would be wronged in the palace, and naturally some of the gossip in the palace inevitably reached her ears.
She comforted her mother with a few words, saying that those rumors should not be taken seriously.
"Has anything happened in the house recently?" After a pause, Mu Ci asked again: "Is Aunt Lin still in peace?"
Lin lives in the side courtyard, and she is Muxue's biological mother.
I think back then, Mrs. Lin was sent to the mansion after she was pregnant with Muxue. She was only six months old at that time.
When my mother knew the news, she naturally felt resentful and resentful, but later she succumbed to her fate.
Over the years, Lin and Muxue have been relatively honest and have done nothing out of the ordinary, but she can't look down on the mother and daughter, and she has to look down on them.
But they all endured it.
Later, as she grew older, she gradually accepted Muxue, but she could never get close to Muxue, even if Muxue called her sister.
"Isn't that all? You look like a very honest person, and your father is doting on you, what else can you do as a mother?" But over the years, she has always been hard-pressed.
She had also thought that her daughter would marry a dedicated man in the future. However, Mu Ci was the legitimate daughter of the Mu family, and she would inevitably end up in the palace in the end.
But she never expected that her precious daughter would become a new widow after just getting married.
"Mom, don't take it lightly. Aunt Lin doesn't dare to offend her mother. After all, her daughter is now the Queen Mother. If Mu Xue wants to enter the palace, she has to look at her daughter's face. How dare she offend her mother so easily?" Mu Ci said solemnly.
Speaking of which, Muxue had already grown hair half a month ago. This was not in line with his father's wishes. He could send Muxue to the palace as soon as possible.
The two mother and daughter talked with each other for a full hour.
After that, Mu Ci was called into the study by Mu Zhi.
She knew in her heart that as soon as she returned home, her father would have a long talk with her.
"Honestly, what's going on between you and the emperor?" Mu Zhi's face darkened as soon as he closed the door.
"Nothing happened." Mu Ci replied quietly.
"Then why do you keep getting into trouble, angering the emperor, and even being thrown into the sky prison? Do you know that the Mu family has been completely humiliated by you?!" Mu Zhi said, pulling out the long whip.
Mu Ci recognized it at a glance, it was the golden whip he used before, and it was a gift from Dugu Liancheng.
She didn't expect that this golden whip would fall into her father's hands.
"Does Mr. Mu want to lynch the Ai family?!" Mu Ci's eyes grew colder, and the majesty of a high-ranking person was naturally revealed.
In the past, she only thought that her father loved her and doted on her, but now she realized that what his father cared about was not her as a daughter, but the value she could create.
Because she couldn't help the Mu family shine, her father wanted to whip her.
Mu Zhi looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar daughter in front of him, and was unable to get off the tiger's back for a moment. His original intention was to teach Mu Ci a lesson so that she would remember it for a long time, but he forgot that this daughter was now the Queen Mother.
"The Ai family only gave Mr. Mu four words - the greatest prosperity will inevitably lead to decline." After Mu Ci finished speaking, he left the study.
Her father is a smart man and has been in the officialdom for many years. She hopes that her father will understand that he should not be too greedy.
Although Dugu Liancheng has just ascended the throne, he is not a soft persimmon and can be manipulated by others.
