âThis girl dared to be so reckless just because she has Little Nine on her side. What makes her think that I wonât do anything to save Little Nineâs reputation?
âRidiculous!
âI know my daughter well!
âLittle Nineâs servant has caused trouble outside. Of course, I wonât let this rude servant go!â
Dongfang Yuâs eyes grew colder as she gripped her sword tightly. However, someone suddenly spoke up ahead, making Dongfang Yu pause.
âMaiden Dongfang, itâs you?â
Sima Yan pushed through the crowd and rushed toward Dongfang Yu excitedly.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He caught a glimpse of Mu Yi, who was full of anger, and frowned. âMu Yi, why are you here? And Noble Lady... What are you doing here?â
Mu Yi was just about to order someone to arrest Dongfang Yu when he heard Sima Yan call out to him. His face stiffened.
âGeneral Sima and this servant know each other?â
Surprisingly, he even addressed her as a maiden?
General Sima was a great man. The officers always fought in the courtroom, and if Sima Yan were involved, there would indeed be some trouble.
âGeneral Sima...â Mu Yi forced a smile. âYou know this girl? â
Sima Yan smiled and said, âOh, you mean Dongfang Yu? She is the daughter of an old friend. Not long ago, my men saw her in the Imperial City. I did not believe it, so I sent people to investigate, but I did not expect that it was her.â
âThe daughter of an old friend?â
Mu Yi laughed coldly.
âIf her father could become Sima Yanâs friend, then he must be someone with power.
âMaybe this girl became a servant after she lost her family...
âNo wonder sheâs quite arrogant. Her previous lifestyle has made her so ill-mannered. How could such a servant stay by Little Nine, and how did Little Nine control her?â
âSo sheâs Sima Yanâs old friendâs daughter...â Mu Yi smiled. âThis girl hurt my old mother just now. I just want an explanation from her.â
âOh...â Sima Yan said with a smile, âSorry to say this, but your old mother was brutal. Look, are there any noble families in the imperial city who are willing to be friends with her? Even her previous husband left her and didnât want to see her for so many years.
âAnd look at those noblewomen. Which one of them has not been scolded by her? There was a common lady married into a noble family because of love. She went to the wedding banquet and said that the newlywed lady was shameless and called her a vixen!â
Old Lady Mu was once married to Mu Yiâs father, but Mu Yiâs father had long had a beloved girl. It was a pity that Old Lady Mu was his familyâs choice, and they forced them to get married.
Mu Yiâs father was a loyal man. After the marriage, he did not touch Old Lady Mu.
Old Lady Mu then bought a drug from somewhere and drugged Mu Yiâs father. After that, there was Mu Yi.
After he gained power, he finally made his family listen to him and continue his relationship with the woman he loved, and no one was able to stop him.
But...
He could not let the woman he loved become a concubine, so he divorced Old Lady Mu and married his lover.
