"Of course, she accompanied me into the palace and also accompanied me back to the main garden." Geng replied.
"Have you ever left during this period?" Mu Ci asked worriedly.
"No, did Ci'er doubt Yujuan?" Geng heard the deeper meaning in Mu Ci's words.
"Yujuan hasn't come back since she took the medicine. I don't know why." As soon as Mu Ci finished speaking, he heard someone running in in a hurry. It was Yujuan.
Yujuan was panting and holding three doses of medicine in her hand. When she saw Mu Ci, she was stunned before stepping forward to say hello.
"Why did you come back home just now?" Mu Ci looked gentle.
Yujuan said calmly: "Soon after my servant came out of the house, he was knocked unconscious. When he woke up, he found himself in the south of the city..."
"Come here and let Aijia see your injuries." Mu Ci ordered.
Yujuan stepped forward as instructed.
Mu Ci looked at the back of her head, and there was indeed an obvious new injury.
For now, she doesn't see anything wrong with Yujuan.
After retreating to Yujuan, she stayed in front of the bed to attend to his illness.
Not long after, Sizhu came and whispered to her: "Mr. Mu is outside asking for a meeting."
"The Ai family is very busy and has no time, so let him wait." Mu Ci sneered.
Is this because he feels sorry for his concubine who is locked up and wants her to be released?
When the mother had a fever and was unconscious, did the Mu people have any sympathy for the mother?
Mu Zhi did not expect that he would be turned away.
It was only when he begged the emperor in the palace that he encountered a soft nail. How dare the daughter he raised dare to ignore him as a father?
In a hurry, he broke into the main garden.
When Mu Ci heard the footsteps, he said without looking back: "Master Mu, if you dare to take a step forward again, don't blame the Ai family for punishing you with the crime of disrespect!"
"Ci'er, I am your father!" Mu Zhi stopped moving forward.
"The moment Master Mu decided to send Aijia to the palace, Master Mu lost a daughter. Furthermore, the daughter you love should be Mu Xue, not Aijia." Mu Ci turned back to look at Mu Zhi.
When she returned to Mu Mansion this time, her biggest feeling was that there was no one around her to help her.
The same is true in the palace.
So no matter in the palace or in Mu's mansion, no one took her as the Queen Mother seriously, and Mu Zhi was no exception.
Mu Zhi felt that there was no need to show off his rhetoric to Mu Ci, so he softened his tone and said, "Daughter, let your Aunt Lin go, she has done nothing wrong..."
"When my mother's fever persists, where is Mr. Mu?!" Mu Ci interrupted Mu Zhi and asked coldly.
Mu Zhi was stunned: "As a father, I didn't know that your mother was sick."
To be precise, he thought Geng's illness was just a minor illness and not worth mentioning.
"Do you not know, or have you never cared about my mother? The Ai family asks you, when was the last time you cared about my mother?!" Mu Ci's eyes suddenly became sharp when he looked at Mu Zhi.
Mu Zhi didn't know how to answer.
"Or did you forget about your first wife when you welcomed Lin into the mansion?" Mu Ci stood up and approached Mu Zhi.
"That's not the case. You are overthinking it. As a father, you respect your mother very much——"
"As a first-rate prime minister, Mr. Mu, don't you feel ashamed to tell such lies?!" Mu Ci shouted angrily.
At this moment, my mother's weak voice came from behind: "Ci'er, don't be rude to your father..."
When Mu Ci heard the sound, she looked back and saw her mother about to get up. She stepped forward to help her up, "Mother, the cold is still lingering. Please lie down well."
"Ms. Geng, this is the good daughter you trained!" Seeing this, Mu Zhi suddenly pointed the finger at Geng.
Geng looked blank and responded in a low voice: "My daughter is very good."
