Seeing her upright and unharmed appearance, Mu Shuyuan was dumbfounded, and her heart was aggrieved and angry.
She spent a lot of gold coins to buy Mu Yaqing's life, but in the end, the bamboo basket was empty, and her efforts were in vain, which was really hateful.
It's just that her father and a few ladies are present, and she can't have a casual attack, so she can only endure her anger and try to maintain a dignified and decent image of the eldest lady.
Su Moliang received Mu Shuyuan's sharp gaze, but as if there was no, he was calm and calm, and he could smile from time to time, hating Mu Shuyuan's teeth.
Although the other two ladies pretended to be very happy on their faces, the anger in their eyes couldn't deceive Su Moliang.
There was only one lady, who was really pleased to touch the tears in the corners of her eyes, and nodded vigorously: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." โ
Su Moliang couldn't help but glance at her, and found that this person's appearance was seven or eight points similar to Mu Yaqing, thinking that it should be her biological mother.
It's just that this third lady is the concubine of the head of the Mu family, and her mother's family has no background, so she is also the target of oppression in the Mu family, and even if her daughter comes back safely, she doesn't dare to lose her temper too much, what she is afraid of is angering the other two ladies.
When Mu Rong heard this, he frowned, and yelled at the maid who was kneeling on the ground: "Chunyan, you are so bold that you dare to make a rumor about Miss, if this spreads and ruins Miss's innocence, can you afford the consequences!"
This maid who knelt on the ground and was yelled at by the head of the Mu family was Mu Yaqing's personal maid Chunyan, although she followed Mu Yaqing to serve, but in private she was Mu Shuyuan's person, and she accompanied Mu Yaqing out shopping this morning, and deliberately took her to a remote alley, so that the gangsters could take advantage of it.
And she herself pretended to be panicked and ran back to Mufu to report.
Speaking of which, she did see Mu Yaqing being kidnapped with her own eyes, and she really couldn't figure out how she could come back safe and sound, and what she said about going to the prince's mansion was just nonsense.
Now that she has been reprimanded and charged with the big crime of spreading rumors, Chunyan was so frightened that she immediately kowtowed, and cried and said: "The master spares his life, the slave and maid are wronged, the slave and maid really saw that the third lady was taken away by the gangsters, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have given the slave and maid a hundred guts, and she wouldn't dare to make it up, the slave and maid were really wronged!"
Seeing Chunyan kowtowing heavily, blood oozing from her forehead, her honest and loyal appearance made everyone present a little shaken, and they all looked at Mu Yaqing suspiciously.
Su Moliang received everyone's questioning glances, and also pretended to be extremely innocent, and scolded Chunyan: "Chunyan, why did you frame me, this morning it was obviously because you were greedy for fun and wandered around the street goods, so you were separated from me, and now you are making up the news that I was taken away in order to shirk the fault of poor service, you are really too vicious." โ
When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other, not knowing who was true and who was false.
Because Mu Yaqing's words also make sense.
Chunyan was afraid of being punished by the master because she lost her master, so she made up the robbery in a hurry, but she thought of the consequences of being exposed, which is also understandable.
When Chunyan heard this, she didn't expect that stealing chickens would not make rice, but now she was beaten upside down by Mu Yaqing, and she became a sinner who deliberately spread rumors in order to shirk responsibility.
"Miss, why did you frame the slave maid, the slave and maid definitely did not spread rumors, let alone frame Miss. The slave and maid have seen you taken captive by the robbers, and if there is half a lie, the slave and maid are willing to thunder and thunder in the sky, and they will not die well. Chunyan is also a clever person, crying and swearing, that look is really evil.
At this time, Mu Shuyuan's biological mother, Lou Biqi, the eldest lady of the Mu family, suddenly spoke: "Master, this matter is a little strange, the concubine is watching, this girl doesn't dare to lie, I'm afraid that someone is playing ghosts behind her back and deliberately framing our Mu family, so it's better for the master to investigate clearly." โ
Hearing this, Mu Rong nodded his head, frowned, and instructed Steward Sun who was standing aside: "Steward Sun, you bring gifts to the prince's mansion to check and see if there is such a thing." โ
Steward Sun nodded when he heard this, turned around and walked out of the hall.
And Su Moliang listened to it, but felt sorry for Mu Yaqing.
It stands to reason that Mu Yaqing is also his biological daughter, and his daughter came back safely, instead of being happy, he was suspicious, it seemed that he was worried that Mu Yaqing was really arrested by the gangsters, lost her innocence, and humiliated the Mu family.
Such a father is really chilling.

At this time, the palace was quiet, and the knock on the door outside Bei Hanyu's room was particularly abrupt and loud.
Bei Hanyu slept for a few hours, and the wine was almost awake, when he heard the voice, he woke up in a daze, and when he opened his mouth, he was hoarse after a hangover: "Come in." โ
At this time, Steward Chen of the palace quickly pushed the door in, carefully observed the prince's expression, and said in a low voice: "Lord, the Mu family's housekeeper Sun is here, saying that he has something to ask to see the prince." โ
Bei Hanyu frowned, and his face swelled with some doubts, why did the housekeeper of the Mu family come to him?
It's just that his brain hurts too much, and the pain is so painful that he doesn't have the energy to think, so he can only wave his hand: "Let him in." โ
When the words fell, Bei Hanyu got up from the bed, but who knew that as soon as his right foot hit the ground, a sharp pain suddenly swelled up.
He was shocked, and immediately opened his trouser leg, and found a bruise on the knee of his right leg, which looked like he had been injured with a hidden weapon.
He drank so well during the day, how could he suddenly have an extra scar?
Just when Bei Hanyu was shocked, Steward Chen had already brought Steward Sun in.
Steward Sun saw that the prince had rested so early, and he was terrified, and hurriedly saluted: "The slave should die, disturb the prince's rest." โ
Bei Hanyu was unwell, his mood was even more irritable, and he frowned impatiently: "Say something quickly." โ
Seeing that he was angry, Steward Sun asked in a trembling voice: "Lord Wang, I don't know if you have seen the third lady of my family today, Mu Yaqing." โ
Bei Hanyu's brows frowned deeper, as if he was trying his best to recall something, and he was silent for a long time, and finally had an impression.
"Well, I've seen it in the garden. The Mu family suddenly came to the door and asked this, what does it mean?" Bei Hanyu was confused by Steward Sun.
When Steward Sun heard this, he immediately smiled and waved his hand: "I don't mean anything else, I just heard that Miss came to the palace today, and I was afraid that Miss would be rude, so the head of the family sent a servant to apologize." โ
As he spoke, the head of the Sun family handed the gifts that had already been prepared to Steward Chen.
Many people are not to blame, and Bei Hanyu is not easy to embarrass him, so he only nodded suspiciously: "The master of the Mu family is polite." โ
"Since the prince still wants to rest, the slave will not bother and retire first. "Steward Sun asked Steward Chen just now, and now he has heard the prince admit it himself, so there will be no fake in this matter.
Bei Hanyu looked at the back of Steward Sun leaving, as if he thought of something, and suddenly looked down at the bruises on his knees.
He vaguely remembered that he saw Mu Yaqing and said a few words, but he didn't know why, and then there was a burst of pain, and then he fell.
Seeing the bruises now, Bei Hanyu's tangled face suddenly expanded, and his pupils instantly jumped in shock.
