"What? What is this? Why are there letters from the enemy country on top?" An official walked out, pointing at several letters with blackened marks but still legible contents in surprise.

  Is there a letter with the national seal on it?

  This sentence contains a lot of information and can represent big or small things.

  This news spread out, more people are puzzled and suspicious. As the owner of the study, Mu Xiong frowned.

  He knows what's in his study better than anyone else.

  However, he doesn't recall having seen these letters before.

  Under everyone's astonished gaze, someone had already curiously walked over, bent down to pick up those several letters that were being questioned from the ground and walked back.

  "There is the totem of the Tucheng royal family on this." The person who picked up the letter made a new discovery on the envelope. Tucheng and Qin had been at war for many years, how could they not understand everything about their enemy?

  Moreover, the envoys of Tu Guo are now in Luo Du. The leader among them is a member of the royal family of Tu Guo, and it's not hard to find decorations with the same totem on his clothes.

  Suddenly, there was a flurry of discussion among the crowd.

  If it is said that Murong had to study the Tu Guo script because of years of war with Tu Guo, or that there were some spies from Tu Guo who sent intelligence in the Tu Guo script that needed to be distinguished, then this can still be considered plausible.

  However, a letter bearing the crest of the Butcher Kingdom's royal family appeared in his study, tucked away so secretly between books that things were not as simple as they seemed.

  Mo Qing's gaze swept towards Bai Suoyue without leaving any traces.

  At this moment, she has hidden herself in the crowd, deliberately lowering her sense of existence. Her clear and pure face is expressionless.

  Only those eyes, silently observing everything, subtly revealing a hint of complacency.

  Mo Qingge withdrew her gaze, the corner of her eye gleaming with mockery as she glanced at Qin Jinhao. As if saying to him: 'Is this the kind of frame-up and trap that the person you hold in high esteem can come up with?'

  Qin Jinhao received this gaze and responded with the same gaze. It seemed to comfort Mu Qingge, since they were already allies, he would never let the Mu family have an accident at this time.

  That's right. When Mu Qing Ge said that "good" word to him, he revealed Bai Suoyue's plan entirely. At the same time, it also explained that he was opposed to it, but Bai Suoyue insisted on doing so.

  He could have stopped today's events, but was prevented by Mu Qingge.

  He could see that Mu Qingge wanted to take in Bai Tuyue, and in order to thoroughly win over the Mu family, sacrificing a mere Bai Tuyue was nothing.

  Bai Shaoyue is nothing compared to Mu family.

  So he was happy to go along with Mu Qing's song.

  Of course, he wasn't afraid that Bai Suoyue would bite back at him. Because, he wouldn't give her the chance!

  Bai Shaoyue was completely unaware that she had been betrayed by the man she loved and trusted most. At this moment, she just watched as everything developed according to her wishes, unable to contain her inner joy.

  Those who have been paying attention to her, in addition to Mu Qingge, also include Mu Lianrong.

  When she saw the excitement hidden in Bai Suoyue's eyes, her gaze dimmed slightly, as if she had lost a part of her soul.

  The interaction between Mu Qingge and Qin Jinhao did not surprise the people around them, but instead fell into the eyes of Qin Jincheng who was standing at the edge.

  He seemed to see through it, furrowed his brow, but didn't say anything.

  His eyes finally locked onto Mu Qing's body.

  "Sir, may I take a look at these letters?" The officer who picked up the letters thought for a moment and then asked Mu Xiong boldly.

  "Go ahead and look if you want to. I've never seen these things before either, and I'm quite curious myself."

  The frank answer made the official's eyes flash, and he looked down without speaking. However, his hands moved quickly, rapidly opening the letter, taking out the letter paper inside, and quickly scanning it.

  When he looked at the first letter, the content of the letter suddenly changed his complexion.

  He quickly pulled out several other letters, scanning the contents one by one, his face growing paler and more incredulous as he glanced at Mu Xiong from time to time.

  Shao Pangzi squeezed out of the crowd and finally managed to get beside Mu Qingge.

  He pulled Mu Qing's sleeve and whispered in her ear, "Boss, I think this old thing's expression is off! I reckon he's not up to any good, we'd better think of a way out."

  Mù Qīng Gē was somewhat unexpectedly impressed by Shāo Pàng Zǐ's quick wit.

  But it's better not to drag him into this matter.

  So she just replied in a low voice: "Don't worry, you'll be fine."

  A subtle reminder made Shao Chubby's small eyes turn around, and he suddenly understood. Knowing that his boss was going to cheat someone, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Okay, I'll just watch from the side as Boss shows off his mighty power!" After speaking, he quietly slipped away from Mu Qingge.

  Those agile movements are comparable to a loach. His plump body hasn't affected his speed at all!

  Admiringly gazing at Qing Ge, her eyes twitched with admiration, sincerely admiring from the bottom of her heart.

  After Shao Baozi slipped away, the official had already finished reading the letter. Ignoring the curious glances from his colleagues, he looked around in the crowd.

  Soon, he saw the location where Rui Wang Qin Jinhao was standing out with his outstanding appearance and extraordinary temperament.

  He quickly approached King Rui, his hand still trembling slightly as he clutched the letter.

  "Your Majesty, I have a memorial to present!" He walked up to Qin Ji Huang and bowed down with his hands clasped together.

  Seeing this, the joyful color hidden in Bai Suo's eyes became even more intense. It was as if her plan had already succeeded. She gazed at Rui Wang Qin with a deep and meaningful look, seemingly waiting for him to fly into a rage and order the arrest of the entire Mu family.

  Of course, she was just a lonely girl living with the Mu family, and even if she got involved, it would be over soon.

  Besides, she is also the woman of King Rui.

  At this moment, Bai Suoyue felt extremely fortunate about the decision she made back then. If it wasn't Rui Wang who was detoxified by her at that time, perhaps her whole life would have been ruined.

  Now she is a woman of Rui Wang, and she even saw that her future would be one level higher, the future of being a mother to the world.

  She was expecting it, but Qin Jinhao took over those letters with a calm face and scanned them down.

  Bai Shaoyue secretly looked at Qin Jinhao's expression, as if expecting him to praise her.

  But in her expectation, Qin Jinhao's face sank after reading the contents of the letter. His cold and stern expression became even more severe, highlighting his chilly aura.

  He brought murderous intent and angrily shouted: "Who dares to slander Old Master Mu like this!"

  That anger was not feigned. Even Bai Suoyue, who knew the inside story, was startled.

  She seemed somewhat puzzled by Qin Jinghuan's reaction, but immediately realized that perhaps he was just doing it for Mu Xiong to see.

  If it was intended to punish from the start, it seems to add to the suspicion of framing.

  After understanding, Bai Suoyue's heart slowly relaxed, silently waiting for Qin Jinhao's next response.

  She thought that she had already done her part in the prelude, and what happened next was up to him. The outcome of the Mu family's situation should be his responsibility now.

  How can a considerate woman steal the spotlight from her own man?

  As soon as Qin Jinhao opened his mouth, everyone fell silent, as quiet as a cicada in winter.

  He cast a cold glance around him, and everyone who met his gaze involuntarily lowered their heads and retreated.

  They were so innocent and had no idea what was happening!

  This time, the guests who came to Mu Fu to attend the coronation ceremony couldn't help but regret their trip today.

  That icy gaze also swept over Bai Xueyue. She knew that Qin Jinhao was just pretending, but she still felt a piercing pain as if she had been stabbed with a knife.

  Suddenly, a sense of panic spread from the bottom of her heart and quickly enveloped her entire being.

  "It's all right, it's all right! Today's big event has been accomplished, and she can also leave the Mu Mansion to throw herself into Rui Wang's arms with a clear conscience. The Mu Mansion owes her, and today everything will be settled!" After repeatedly comforting herself in her heart, Bai Tuyue finally felt a little better.

  Qin Jinghao's eyes scanned around and finally landed on Mu Xiong.

  He walked towards Mu Xiong with the letter in his hand.

  To an unknowing observer, this scene appears completely normal.

  But in Bai Taoyue's eyes, it was just the beginning of the entire plan. She was going to overthrow the entire Mu family today!

  However, she didn't notice that the official who first saw the contents of these letters took a step back with his eyes down after Qin Jingxuan stepped forward to Mu Xiong.

  It seems that this official who is well-versed in the ways of the government has already understood some of Qin Jinhao's true thoughts.

  Qin Jin Huan walked up to Mu Xiong's side and stopped, handing over the letter in his hand. His tone was serious as he said, "Old Master, take a look. Unexpectedly, there are actually people with ulterior motives who want to frame you."

  Mù Xióng's face turned solemn as he took over those letters, his eyes cast downward in contemplation, his lips pursed into a line.

  Bai Taoyue's heart made a "thud" sound, and she couldn't help but steal a glance at Qin Jingxuan with some confusion. She couldn't quite understand what Rui Wang was trying to do.

  Isn't this giving Mu Xiong a chance to refute? Those 'evidence' handed over to him, aren't they giving him the opportunity to destroy them?

  A feeling beyond control came over her, causing Bai Suoyue to forget to hide herself, revealing her true emotions.

  Mu Lianrong's heart ached secretly as she watched him, her eyes tinged with a faint sorrow.

  "Hum! A pack of nonsense!" Mu Xiong's tiger eyes glared, and with a shockwave from his palm, the letter paper in his hand scattered all over the ground, also revealing its true appearance to many people nearby.

  Those letters seem to be correspondence between Murong and a member of the Tu royal family. The content includes accusations that Murong secretly instigated infighting within the Qin imperial court, or even deliberately lost battles.

  Every word and sentence reveals Mu Xiong's rebellious heart.

  Those who have seen the contents of the letter are all pale in the face, as if they had learned some secret that they should not know, and their breathing is rapid.

  A strange and inexplicable atmosphere is spreading among the crowd.

  "I, Mù Xióng, have already achieved great success in the state of Qin and have formed an alliance with the Tū Guó. Can't they even give me a emperor to play with? Hmph!" Mù Xióng coldly snorted, and everyone dared not breathe loudly.

  No! This is not right!

  Bai Shaoyue watched this scene, her eyes somewhat flustered.

  In her mind, it shouldn't be that after the evidence of colluding with the enemy was exposed, under Qin Jinhao's instigation, everyone would condemn the Mu family and make them speechless.

  Why is it like this now?

  Muxiong didn't care at all, everyone was silent like a cicada in winter, even Rui Wang, who had clearly agreed, seemed to be standing on the side of Mu Fu.

  She subconsciously looked at Qin Jinghao, but found that he didn't look at her at all. As if he had never known this person before.

  "Someone is framing Grandfather?" a clear and cold voice cut in.

  Everyone noticed the young master of Mu's mansion, Mu Qingge suddenly walked out, bent down to pick up a few pages of letter paper from the ground, and roughly looked at them. The more she looked, the more a playful smile appeared on her mouth.

  "After she finished watching it, she gave her evaluation: "Immature.""

  Bai Shaoyue's face turned pale.

  She handed the letter to Rui Wang, Mu Qingge took a few steps and came to Mu Xiong's side, smiling lightly at him: "Grandfather, don't be angry. It's just some despicable people slandering, if you get angry, it would be giving them face."

  "Uh-huh, I'm not angry. Song'er, this matter is now in your hands, find out who that suspicious person is." After saying that, the old master waved his sleeve and really didn't care about it anymore.

  Mo Qingge smiled in her heart, Grandpa is cunning.

  He had obviously already guessed who was behind the commotion, but because of a thread of mercy in his heart, he turned a blind eye. As for Bai Suoyue's matter, after Rui Wang told her, she told Mu Lianrong. She didn't tell Mu Xiong because she didn't want to hurt him. After all, Bai Suoyue was the child he had personally brought back to the manor.

  So, even though she knew her grandfather was intentionally teasing her, she still accepted it gladly.

  Actually, Old Master's choice is also releasing a message to her. That is, in this matter, what the young master of the Mu manor says goes!

  Her eyes flickered, Mu Qing turned around and looked at Rui Wang, saying: "Your Highness Rui Wang, now that I'm having my coronation ceremony, someone is slandering my grandfather for secretly communicating with the enemy country. How do you think this matter should be resolved?"

  Bai Suoyue looked at Rui Wang with tension.

  However, Qin Jinhao turned to Mu Qingge and said, "How does Qingge want to resolve this?"

  No!

  How can you say that?

  Bai Shaoyue was so angry that she wanted to run out and grab Qin Jinhao's arm, telling him that things shouldn't have developed like this.

  At this time, why did Qin Jinhao still listen to Mu Qingge's words and indulge her so much?

  Doesn't this show his 100% trust in Mu's family?

  What is she then?

  What's the point of putting on this show again?

  "Of course, we must expose the person who set this trap, no matter who it is, and punish them severely." Mu Qingge said with a smile, but the tone of her voice sent chills down the spines of everyone present.

  Bai Shaoyue's heart skipped a beat, as if she felt Mu Qingge's gaze on her just now. It was as if he had already seen through everything and knew it was all because of her.

  "No! It can't be! She couldn't possibly know anything about me!" Bai Suoyue denied the guess in her heart.

  "Good! As you said, find out who is behind this and punish them severely." Qin Junhao's eyes seemed to be only on Mu Qingge at this moment. No matter what she said, he would agree with her.

  It's not just about accompanying Mu Qing singing and playing, but when he promised to stand by his side in the Mu family, he had a feeling of having one foot on that position.

  At this moment, he absolutely cannot afford to offend the Mu family!

  She smiled lightly and sang softly. That smile was full of sarcasm and disdain.

  Everyone's scalp is numb, and in their hearts, they secretly think: The young master of the Mu estate really has a piercing gaze that makes people's hair stand on end.

  Bai Suoyue felt that Mu Qing's smile seemed to be directed at her.

  Laughing at her childish foolishness, ridiculing her self-proclaimed cleverness.

  'Mingming...Mingming Rui Wang is actually the one who is with me. Why...why...now it seems like I'm the one being schemed against?'

  Bai Shaoyue kept shouting in her heart.

  He picked up the letter from Rui Wang's hand again. Mu Qing Ge swayed and teased: "Want to frame Mu's family for private communication with enemy countries, how can a few letters be enough? At least some evidence of collusion is needed. Or find one or two people who are responsible for contacting in secret. Human evidence, no evidence is indispensable. Just a few pieces of paper, thinking of framing Mu's family guilty. Do you think our Qin Emperor and all the civil and military officials in the court are fools?"

  The words left the officials of Qin State red-faced and speechless. The hidden meaning not only ridiculed them but also made them unable to refute.

  Because they had indeed been suspicious just now.

  Even if they believed for just one moment, it shows that they are not clever.

  For the first time, they had a taste of the sharp tongue of the young master of Mu's household. These officials who had been immersed in officialdom for many years all felt a sense of awe at his youthful vigor.

  What's more, he also has a grandfather who is renowned far and wide.

  Hundreds of thousands of Mo Family Army as his backer, who dares to jump out and contend with him?

  Mu Qing's mouth twitched with a hint of mockery as he continued, "The main thing is, what's the goal? The Mu family has abandoned its good reputation as the war god of Qin country, doesn't want the title of first-class duke, and has cast aside fame, power, and wealth. What exactly are they after? Money? The Mu family isn't lacking in that. Power? The Mu estate has even more of it. There must be some reason for killing people. Is the Mu estate planning to betray the country, shake hands with the enemy they've been fighting for decades, and scheme against their old master? What benefits could they possibly gain from this? It can't be just because they're bored and looking for excitement after eating their fill?"

  What benefits can Mu Xiong get from colluding with the Tujue?

  Establish himself as king? Does he still need to collude with the butcher country? With the prestige of the Mu family army, Mu Xiong wants to claim the throne, can Qin Huang stop him?

  Either be king or be emperor?

  This is even more impossible. If Mu Xiong had such a heart, the emperor of Qin State, where would the Qin family sit?

  Everyone in their hearts back and forth calculations, did not give Mu Xiong 'treason' find a reasonable explanation.

  The only reasonable explanation is that the imperial family has deceived people too much, forcing Mu Xiong to resist and protect himself. But who dares to say this? Are they afraid of having a hard neck or living too long?

  The crowd remained silent.

  And then, Mu Qing Ge spoke up again: "Moreover, this fire is really burning wonderfully! It's so coincidental that it started on my birthday. I'm puzzled, sir, how did the fire start in the study when there wasn't a single spark? And yet, it was so coincidental that these treason evidence were rescued."

  Those guards who risked their lives to move the undestroyed objects out of the study immediately knelt on one knee and said to Mu Qingge, "Young master, we entered the study amidst the raging fire and found that these items were not in the burning area, so we brought them out."

  "Oh?" Mu Qingge smiled with a hint of amusement, as if muttering to herself: "So this fire still understands human nature, knowing what to burn and what not to burn."

  This sentence fell into everyone's heart, and they all suddenly understood.

  Yes! If it was an accidental fire, how could these things be preserved in such a raging inferno? Except for being slightly charred, they were almost undamaged. Is there really such a coincidence in the world?

  Bai Shaoyue felt his hair stand on end.

  Her back was already drenched with cold sweat, and she couldn't help but shiver.

  Before Mu Qing sang this series of words, she still thought her plan was perfect and flawless, and could even give Qin Huang a reason to punish the Mu Mansion.

  But at this moment, she felt that her plan was full of loopholes and as simple as a child's game in Mu Qingge's teasing tone.

  No wonder! No wonder she said "childish" when she first saw those letters.

  Even she imitated Mu Xiong's handwriting so well.

  Why? Why... He can always reverse the entire situation with just a few words. Even if he can cultivate now, he is still a spoiled child, what right does he have?!

  A surge of jealousy spread from Bai Suoyue's heart, gradually replacing the fear that had been there.

  "It's too bad." Mu Qingge slowly shook her head, her tone disdainful: "It's so bad that I'm too lazy to continue talking about it."

  Is her meticulous design just 'immature' and 'clumsy' in her eyes?

  Bai Shaoyue's anger was almost bursting out of her eyes.

  "Su Yuemei, why are you looking at me like that?" Mu Qingge suddenly turned around, smiling at her.

  Bai Shaoyue was taken aback for a moment, and the hatred in her eyes dissipated instantly.

  But also fell into the eyes of many people.

  "Am I wrong in what I said?" Mu Qing Ge asked with a smile.

  "No, how would I know these things?" Bai Suoyue hastily covered up.

  Mu Qing Ge took two steps towards her, smiling with a raised lip: "I haven't thanked Sister Xi Yue yet. If it wasn't for your sharp eyes spotting those letters trying to frame my Mu family among a pile of books earlier, who knows what would have happened."

  "... Bai Shaoyue suddenly felt the scorching gazes around her turning towards herself, leaving her speechless.

  Mu Qing's voice sank a bit, and he spoke sincerely: "But I still want to tell you something. Once you discover it, you should take the initiative to speak out. Our Mu family is upright and honest, with nothing to hide from others. Your subsequent evasive actions only give people a sense of 'stealing a bell and then covering one's ears'."

  Bai Shaoyue forced out a smile, and in Mu Qing's stunning gaze, she trembled and said: "Yes, Shaoyue understands."

  Just as Bai Xueyue was about to collapse under Mu Qingge's gaze, Mu Qingge suddenly revealed a profound smile and shouted: "Mo Yang."

  As soon as she finished speaking, Moyang immediately led several Longyawei guards out of the shadows.

  They walked up to Mu Qingge with their eyes fixed ahead, paying their respects. The aura of killing intent emanating from their bodies caused many people to retreat a few steps back. Such excellent personal guards even made Qin Jinhao reveal an envious gaze.

  Young Master.

  Mu Qingge nodded calmly, then suddenly asked: "Today is my big day. I order you to arrange for the Longya Guards to be hidden inside and outside the Mu Mansion, to prevent any villains from sneaking in and causing trouble. Do you know what happened with the fire in Old Master's study?"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Suoyue felt her whole body go limp.

  Did Mu Qingge secretly send his own dark guard to hide in the Mu residence?

  And is there also near this study?

  Isn't it...

  In an instant, Bai Suoyue's face turned pale and she almost fainted to the ground.

  Suddenly, she had a feeling of wanting to escape. She looked at Qin Jingxuan, hoping to get his protection and take her away from here, away from the Mu Mansion.

  However, Qin Jinhao didn't even respond with a glance, as if he had abandoned her.

  "No! It can't be! What's going on?! Why is Your Highness ignoring me?!" Bai Suoyue was indignant and heartbroken.

  But at this time, she didn't dare speak recklessly.

  Because she knew that Rui Wang was her only hope.

  Mo Yang replied in a low voice: "The subordinates are ordered to guard the vicinity of the study. Today is the young master's capping ceremony, and most people in the mansion are busy in the front yard. The only person who entered the old master's study was Bai Gongzhu. She stayed inside for about an incense stick time, and after she left, the study caught fire soon."

  "Nonsense! I didn't!" Bai Suoyue hastily argued back.

  But those words of refutation seem pale and powerless.

  "Let you go first." Mu Qing Ge said to Mo Yang Dao.

  Mo Yang left with a nod. As for Bai Suoyue's words, he didn't take them seriously at all.

  At this moment, Mu Lianrong's eyes were already filled with painful colors, and the last thread of hope in her heart was also shattered. Even Mu Xiong's breath became a bit dull.

  Mo Qingge looked at Bai Suoyue and asked in a gentle tone, "Suoyue sister, can you tell me what you were doing in grandfather's study? Why did the study catch fire for no reason after you left? And why were you the first to discover these letters, as if you were familiar with them. You just glanced at them and knew they were unfavorable to the Mo family, wanting to cover them up in front of everyone."

  A string of questions left Bai Suoyue speechless.

  The onlookers who had been watching from the sidelines also suddenly understood all their doubts after Mu Qing's words, and their eyes fell on Bai Tuyue.

  "It seems that this frame-up of Old Master Mu is most suspicious on the part of this Bai young lady." Qin Jinghao spoke coldly, as if with one sentence, he had already determined Bai Suoyue's guilt.

  Bai Shaoyue looked up at him incredulously, but saw no emotional fluctuations under the cold and stern face that had been haunting her dreams.

  Heartless, ruthless...

  These four words suddenly appeared in Bai Qiuyue's mind, causing a sharp pain in her heart.

  "It's indeed so." Mu Qing sang softly, revealing a heart-wrenching expression.

  It seems like she was betrayed by someone trusted in her family, which hurt her feelings.

  She may be disguising her emotions, but Mu Xiong and Mu Lianrong's feelings for Bai Tuyet are genuine. At this moment, when Mu Qingge directs all the doubts at Bai Tuyet, the hurt and disappointment in their eyes are not fake.

  "Bring him in! Take this criminal down and lock him up in the Ministry of Justice's great prison. Wait for me to report everything to His Majesty today, then make a decision." Qin Jinghao's cold command shattered Bai Tuyue's heart.

  "No! It wasn't me! Why would I do such a thing? The Mu family has treated me with kindness as heavy as a mountain, how could I repay their kindness with enmity?" Bai Tuyue struggled desperately and shouted at Mu Xiong and Mu Lianrong: "Grandfather Mu, Aunt Lianrong, do you also think it was Tuyue who did it?"

  Mu Lianrong turned her head away and didn't look at her.

  Mu Xiong pursed his lips and closed his eyes tightly.

  Seeing the two of them like this, Bai Suoyue's hatred in her heart grew even deeper. She looked at Qin Jinhao with a desperate gaze and cried out: "Prince Rui, I am innocent! Please clear my name for me!"

  "Whether it's a miscarriage of justice or not, we will investigate clearly afterwards. If you are really innocent, there is no need to be so agitated, and you can rest assured to follow my guards away." Qin Jinhao said coldly.

  The words were comforting, but they also carried a warning, urging her not to drag him into the open with a desperate mindset.

  As expected, Bai Suoyue's heart reignited with hope upon hearing this. Her rebellious emotions also subsided greatly.

  But Mu Qing Ge was unwilling to let her have it so easy.

  She raised her head and let out a sigh, with a look of sorrow in her eyes, and said to Bai Suoyue: "Suoyue sister, why are you still so unrepentant at this moment? Have the Mu family ever wronged you all these years? You yourself have said that the Mu family's kindness to you is as heavy as a mountain. And what did you do? Green Branch, speak up."

  Bai Shaoyue suddenly turned her gaze towards the maid who had been silent all day, her eyes filled with disbelief.

  The summoned green branch, hung her head low and walked out, knelt on the ground, not daring to look at Bai Tuyet Nguyet, only softly said: "Miss, you have been in Mu Fu for so many years. The people of Mu Fu have always treated you with sincerity. Old Master Mu and Miss Mu regard you as their own daughter, and Young Master Mu regards you as his younger sister. I really can't bear to see that you always think it's Mu Fu's fault that your family was destroyed and you lost everything you should have had. You were supposed to be a proud girl of heaven, but now you're an orphan living under someone else's roof. You hiding your cultivation is one thing, but now you want to harm Mu Fu, disregarding the lives of everyone in Mu Fu. I really can't pass this hurdle with a clear conscience, please forgive me!" After finishing speaking, she desperately kowtowed to Bai Tuyet Nguyet, and after just two knocks, her forehead was covered in blood.

  "You wretched servant! What are you saying? You actually dare to betray your master and harm me?" Bai Suoyue thundered, a yellow glow flashing in her hand.

  However, Qin Jinghao's guard was Green Boundary, so how could she break free?

  Qin Jin Huang furrowed his brow.

  But he couldn't tell whether he was dissatisfied with Mu Qing's aggressive approach or unhappy about learning that Bai Suoyue had been hiding her true strength.

  Lu's words seemed to have given everyone a reason to believe that Bai Suoyue was trying to frame the Mu Estate.

  Suddenly, words of condemnation and criticism poured in on her.

  "There's actually such a vicious woman, she's simply a white-eyed wolf!"

  "Not repaying kindness is one thing, but to repay kindness with malice is truly wicked."

  "Tsk, tsk, having a woman like this at home is just like raising a venomous snake!"

  "Venomous snake? I'm afraid it's a harbinger of domestic unrest, like being haunted by an evil spirit."

  "She looks elegant and gentle, but I didn't expect her to have a heart as vicious as a snake. It's really true that you can't judge a person by their appearance."

  "This woman, I am going to avoid and retreat three houses, dare not provoke her!"

  “……”

  "Shut up, all of you! Whoever speaks again, I'll kill him!" Bai Suoyue seemed to have lost her sanity, gathering yellow spiritual energy in her hand and slamming it towards the place with the most discussion.

  However, he was stopped in time by Qin Jinhao's guards and did not cause any harm.

  "Knock her out and take her away." Qin Jinhao ordered in a low voice.

  He didn't want Bai Ruoyan to say something she shouldn't when her mind was muddled from being stimulated.

  The guard immediately took orders, slapped Bai Tuyue unconscious with a palm, and took her away. Mu Qingge, however, did not make a sound to stop him.

  Qin Jinhao looked at her, his sharp eyes scanning the trembling green branches kneeling on the ground.

  Mo Qing smiled coldly in her heart.

  What kind of loyal servants can someone like Bai Suoyue raise?

  She didn't even threaten the green branch, but just promised to remove her slave status and give her a large sum of money, and she chose to sell her master without hesitation.

  She will fulfill her promise, but whether the green branch has a life to enjoy it is none of her business.

  Bai Taoyue was taken away, and the farce came to an end.

  But because of this commotion, no one was in the mood to continue the previous banquet. They all found an excuse and bid farewell to leave. Qin Jinhao's reason for leaving was even more reasonable, he had to report today's events to the emperor, who could stop him?

  Shao Pangzi watched a good show, and was very satisfied. He said to Mu Qingge: "I knew that girl wasn't a good person! This young master's vision is not bad!" Then he was forcibly dragged away by the Shao family members.

  The play ended and Mu Xiong also left alone.

  Mu Lianrong didn't even have the heart to do anything else and left alone.

  After seeing off the guests, Mu Qingyu, the heir of the Mu Manor, suddenly realized that Xian Wang Qin Jincheng had not left yet.

  "Anything wrong?" Mu Qing Ge raised an eyebrow and asked.

  "Qin Jincheng's calm eyes asked: 'Why choose him?'"

  "Who will you choose?" Mu Qingge hooked her lips and asked back.

  "King Rui. Why did you choose to cooperate with him?" Qin Jincheng asked calmly, his tone revealing no hint of his thoughts.

  However, Mu Qingge unexpectedly understood.

  He seems to be blaming himself for choosing to side with the wolf, dragging himself or the entire Mu family into this maelstrom.

  "I didn't want to explain too much, but thinking of the person in front of me, who doesn't have any ill intentions towards me, I said: 'To make them perish, first make them go mad. I really want to see him fall into hell when he's just one step away from his goal.' This game, the Mu family can't escape. She hadn't forgotten how Mu Qingge had truly died. She hadn't forgotten the many times Qin Jinhao had secretly manipulated things behind the scenes, even sending people to take her life, nor had she forgotten his repeated plots against the Mu estate."

  Anyone who dares to provoke her must be prepared to die without a place to bury their body.

  If someone offends her, cut the grass and eliminate the roots!

  It is her guiding principle in life.

  Qin Jincheng's eyes flashed, and he said: "You are indeed a vengeful person."

  "It's too much praise. I've never been a good person anyway." Mu Qingge accepted this evaluation calmly.

  "Have you ever thought, with this move of yours, who should be the future ruler of Qin?" Qin Jincheng asked again.

  Mù Qīng Gē took two steps back, her eyes sizing him up for a few moments before she said with a half-joking tone: "I think you're not bad." After that, she turned around and left.

  "Me?" Qin Jincheng murmured, staring at Mu Qingge's back. Suddenly, he coughed a few times in a hurry, and after his breathing became smooth, he said: "I won't take that seat. I shouldn't, nor do I want to."

  ……

  Bai Shaoyue was taken away by Qin Jinghao, and Mu Qingge didn't pay attention.

  Because she knew that Qin Jingyu would not move her without getting her consent first.

  At this moment, she didn't even bother with Bai Suoyue's plan.

  Tonight is her night of adulthood as a man. Usually, on this special day, other men in the mansion would carry a carefully selected first-class concubine into their chambers, marking the final ritual of their coming of age, and from then on, she would be his concubine.

  However, Mu Qingge is a matter for women, and both Mu Xiong and Mu Lianrong are aware of it. So no one will prepare for this link, and others in the mansion will guess that it will be either You He or Hua Yue.

  Even more so, they set up gambling stalls for this matter.

  Put aside the things of the past and focus on the present.

  In the courtyard, Mu Qingge sat in the room, looking at the two maids covering their mouths and giggling, and said with a headache: "They are using you as bets outside, and you are still so happy. Don't you want to keep your reputation?"

  Hua Yue swayed her hips as she walked over, entwining herself around Mu Qing Ge like a water snake. Her eyes gleamed like silk as she said: "Young Master, we servants are yours to begin with, and our chastity is also yours. Tonight, why not let Hua Yue attend to you?"

  "You look so clumsy, I think it's better for me to serve the young master tonight. I've made a bet with myself of 100 taels, and in order not to let the servant lose this hard-earned silver, you should just indulge me." Yuhe also walked over with a smile, wrapping herself around Mocheng Ge's other arm.

  "Ah! You've also placed a bet on yourself? I've also placed a bet on myself, what should we do?" Hua Yue's eyebrows furrowed, making her look even more charming and alluring.

  "Good sister, let me win this time. If I lose, I'll compensate you for the money," said You He.

  "No way, no way." Huayue shook her head: "I've already promised the other young ladies that Young Master will choose me tonight."

  "How can you bear to watch your sister lose money and be ridiculed by those rough men?" Yōga lowered her eyes, on the verge of tears.

  The two women's words made Mu Qing's temples throb violently.

  She suddenly wrapped her arms around the two women, embracing their slender waists and pulling them into her bosom. With a wicked smile, she said: "Don't fight anymore. Since you both want to accompany this lord so much, tonight we'll have a double flight."

  "What is double flying?" Huayue asked curiously.

  Mo Qingge had a sly smile on his face, leaning close to her ear and whispering: "That's right, none of you should leave tonight, stay and serve me. This big bed is enough for the three of us to have a good time."

  As soon as these words came out, they suddenly made the two women so angry that their faces turned bright red.

  Although she knew she was just talking nonsense, she couldn't help but feel flustered and anxious.

  Especially at such a close distance, looking at Mu Qing's face that was so beautiful it transcended gender, their eyes revealed an even more enchanting and dreamy quality.

  Suddenly, both women's heads tilted to one side and lost consciousness, falling softly into Mu Qing Ge's arms.

  Mo Qing's eyebrow twitched as she raised her eyes, and when she did, there was already one more person in the room.

  After gently laying the two women on the bed, Mu Qingge smoothed out the wrinkles in her clothes and stood up, saying to the extra person in the room: "You really do like to come uninvited."

  He smiled faintly, and his stunning face radiated an aura that was breathtakingly captivating.

  He didn't notice the unwelcome tone in Mu Qing's voice and instead walked forward two steps, raised his right hand, and spread out his palm: "Here."

  "What is it?" Mu Qingge lowered her head to take a look, and saw that in Si Mo's large palm lay a blood jade hairpin. On its surface was intricately carved a bunch of flowers she had never seen before. The flower petals were delicate and charming, the carving lines casual yet realistic.

  The temperament of this hairpin seems to be similar to hers.

  "Do you like it?" Si Mo asked.

  Mu Qingge took the blood jade hairpin from his hand and examined it carefully. The pin seemed to have blood flowing through it, as if it were molten.

  "What's the point of giving me this? If you want to give gifts, it would be better to give me some heavenly battle techniques or spiritual flowers and fruits that are more practical." Mu Qingge tossed the hairpin into Si Mo's hand.

  "Don't you like it?" Si Mo's eyebrows furrowed slightly. His fingertips slowly rubbed the hairpin, saying: "If you don't like it, another day I'll remake one and give it to you. But today, you have to accept this hairpin."

  "Is this something you carved yourself?" Mu Qing Ge looked at him with some surprise. It seemed she didn't quite understand why someone would have the leisure to carve a hairpin.

  Why did she have to accept it?

  Cai Mo did not answer her question, but instead said to her: "If you were restored to your woman's body, two years ago, you should have been wearing hairpins and having the Ji Li ceremony. You should be wearing a hairpin, not a crown."

  Mu Qingge opened her big eyes and stared at him.

  She had completely forgotten about the hairpin, and even her family members didn't secretly prepare one for her. Although she didn't care about these things, after seeing Mr. Ogre do this, there was a kind of touching feeling in her heart.

  "Tonight, I'll adorn you with this," Si Mo said, lifting his hand to remove the feathered crown from Mu Qing's head and inserting a blood jade hairpin into her black locks.

  After doing all this, he stepped back two steps, admiring his masterpiece, nodding in satisfaction: "Looks extremely good." It's unclear whether he was referring to the hairpin or the person.

  Mochou woke up from her daze and met Si Mo's smiling peach blossom eyes. Subconsciously, she wanted to lift her hand to take down the hairpin, but stopped moving because of something he said next.

  "If you wear it, I'll send a few more Tianjie battle techniques to your Longyawei for training another day, and the Linghua Lingguo will not be less."

  Mo Qing's mouth twitched and he conceded defeat.

  Seeing the woman finally give up her resistance, Si Mo revealed a triumphant smile, his eyes curved like crescent moons: "Little Song is so clever!"

  Ouch!

  "Shut up! Shut your sister up!" Mu Qingge suppressed the urge to pull out her hairpin and coldly said, "Are you done delivering the hairpin? Why don't you leave?"

  "Is Xiao Ge'er tired and wants to rest?" Si Mo spoke as his eyes lightly swept over the two women lying on the bed.

  "Nonsense. I've been busy all day and I'm tired." Mu Qingge didn't even give a good face.

  It seems that tonight, Si Mo's intrusion has stimulated her rebellious nerve again, and she no longer has the 'gentleness' of that night in Yi City. Hmm, for Si Mo, that attitude is already Mu Qing Ge's warmth.

  The prickly Mu Qing song, as if it was what Si Mo was familiar with.

  "He nodded and said: 'Alright, then I'll leave first. Some unrelated people, I'll also help you take away.' As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared."

  Mu Qingge looked towards the bed and saw that there were still two figures of women there. Even the sheets they had slept on had been pulled to the ground.

  Mo Qing's mouth twitched and he gritted his teeth, saying: "This dead pervert!" You have a cleanliness habit, it's not like I do! Stop pulling my bed sheet! Roar~!

  ……

  A night passed, and there was no news from the imperial palace about Bai Suoyue framing Murong Yu.

  It wasn't until after Mu Qing woke up from her dream that she met Mu Xiong in the main hall. He told her that today they would be entering the palace to attend a banquet, mainly about the Butcher Country's envoy, and tonight they would be determining the candidate for the marriage alliance.

  Is the marriage settled? Are there other eligible princesses in Qin State?

  Mu Qingge sneered inwardly, disdainful of the hypocrisy of the Qin imperial family. Emperor Qin Cang had only two princesses, and apart from the grown-up Princess Chang Le, Princess Qin Yiyao, there was also Princess Yong Huan, Princess Qin Yilian, who was still half a year away from her hairpinning ceremony. This time, however, Tugu was going to take the princess who would be married off with him back to his country.

  Then, who else can be married besides Qin Yiyao?

  Moreover, in his conversation with Qin Jinghao, he also revealed that he hoped to marry his own sister and asked if he had any opinions.

  What opinion could she have? She's not a real man, able to take a wife and have children. Since that's the case, why get involved in Qin Yiyao's affairs? Maybe that Butcher Country prince is her true soulmate? Moreover, if Qin Yiyao isn't willing, this marriage might not go so smoothly either.

  In Mu Qing's impression, Qin Yiyao may not use drastic means to resist the well-arranged situation, but she also has her own way. If she is unwilling, this marriage will probably be just a nominal agreement.

  Digression
