Because of Mu Ci's noble status, no one in the Mu family dared to step forward to stop him, even though they were all members of Mu Zhi.
Mu Zhi did not dare to move rashly and watched helplessly as Yingchun and Sizhu dragged away Mrs. Lin.
Yingchun has always had a lively temperament. After entering the palace, she has been suppressing her temper in her life, fearing that she will cause trouble for her mother-in-law.
Now I have left the palace and arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion. As a popular person next to the Queen Mother, it is difficult for her to have the opportunity to let herself go. Of course, she can do whatever she wants.
Lin will die if he dares to harm his wife.
She kicked Lin's body, and Lin's body flew forward uncontrollably, and she fell to the ground instantly. Her hair was messed up, and her expensive clothes were torn.
Sizhu usually looked kind and calm, but this time she was also furious. She exerted another force and kicked Lin's whole body to the ground.
The two palace men looked at each other, and with a tacit understanding, one of them grabbed one of Lin's arms and dragged her away like an animal from under the eyes of everyone.
Mrs. Lin had lived the most noble life since she entered the Mu Mansion. How had she ever been wronged like this? What's more, her legs were rubbing against the stones on the ground, causing heart-breaking pain.
She screamed loudly and called for help: "Master, help me..."
It was okay that she didn't scream, but when she called Yingchun, she became even more angry and kicked her again, causing Ms. Lin to scream again.
Mu Ci did not stop the two palace men. If she took action herself, it would only be more ruthless.
But it's not the time yet.
Finally, Mrs. Lin was imprisoned in the firewood shed, and Mu was ordered to guard her in the spring. No one was allowed to visit Ms. Lin.
When Mu Ci returned to the main garden, Geng was already awake and eating. The moment he saw Mu Ci, Geng's nose felt sour.
"It was my daughter who was unfilial and failed to protect her mother." Mu Ci also felt uncomfortable.
She looked forward and backward, which made Lin even worse.
"No, it's because my mother is cowardly and it has nothing to do with my daughter." Mr. Geng's fever had just subsided and his voice was a little hoarse.
"How did my mother fall into the water last night?" Mu Ci brought up business.
Geng's mind was still a little dazed, but she still had some memories of what happened last night. It was late at night when she returned home, and she had to pass a pond on her way back to the main garden. At that time, her foot slipped and she fell into the pond.
Fortunately, the water in the pond was not deep, and it was Yujuan who rescued her.
"It's all because of the son's carelessness. If the son had sent his mother back to the main garden, her mother would not have suffered this disaster." Mu Tong's tone was full of self-blame.
"Even if my mother escaped last night, Mrs. Lin will not let her go easily." Mu Ci's eyebrows grew cold.
Hearing this, Geng and Mu Tong were dumbfounded at the same time.
"What does this matter have to do with Lin?" Geng asked hoarsely.
Just as Sizhu left and returned, he replied to Mu Ci: "I went to the pond and checked carefully. There are indeed oil stains. Although I have cleaned them up, there are still traces."
When Mu Tong heard this, he stood up and said, "I'll go and confront Aunt Lin!"
"Brother, I will handle this matter. The top priority is to find someone trustworthy to serve my mother. By the way, I also need to find two female guards to protect my mother closely." Mu Ci stopped his brother.
"Originally I had to deal with this matter today, but because my mother suddenly had a fever, the matter was delayed."
"Brother is busy with business and important things. Mom, I'm here to watch over you. Everything will be fine."
With Mu Ci's words, Mu Tong left with peace of mind.
Geng was still a little weak, and soon after eating, he felt sleepy again.
Mu Ci suddenly asked again: "Were Yujuan with her mother when the incident happened?"
