After Wang Yiping was brought back to the Generalâs Manor by Mu YingRui, Old General Mu (Shangguan LingRan) and Mu YingYi were soon alerted.
They went to Mu YingRuiâs study. Actually, they both werenât in the house earlier. After reverting back to his appearance, Shangguan LingRan had gone to his maternal grandfather, Left Prime Ministerâs fu.
Second Wangzi had come to find Zi You and Shangguan LingRan last night and talked to them for a long time before leaving.
After Second Wangzi found out about Shangguan LingRan and Zi You, he had been sad and disappointed. But he was also excited that they were willing to help him ascend to the throne.
His mood was very complicated. He really wanted to obtain Zi You, but he knew that Zi You didnât have any romantic feelings for him at all. Moreover, he really did want to sit on that throne. He had completely different ideals and aspirations from Shangguan LingRan.
At that moment, his mood was very contradictory. But he knew that even if he gave up that throne, Zi You wouldnât be his. He could only admit defeat. Compared to Shangguan LingRan daring to break into the Indian God Realm to bring Zi You back, Second Wangzi paled in comparison.
So, Second Wangzi, Shangguan LingRan, Mu YingYi, the old Prime Minister, Imperial Censor Lu, and a dozen civil and military officials were gathered in the Prime Ministerâs fu to have a discussion.
After receiving the news from a guard that Wang Yiping and Wang Shengmin were caught having an affair, Shangguan LingRan and Mu YingYi rushed back.
They went to Mu YingRuiâs study and saw Mu YingRui slapping Wang Yiping. While he slapped her, he scolded, âYou poisonous woman! I donât treat you badly...... For you, I didnât even pursue it when you caused the death of YouLianâs son. When you hurt Youâer, I also close my eyes. But youâre good. You not only made me a cuckold, but you also gave me medicine so that Iâm unable to have any more children. And you...... Youâre pregnant with your brotherâs deformed baby. Why donât you die? Iâm going to kill you!â
Mu YingYi grabbed his collar and angrily shouted, âWhat did you say? This woman caused Huiâerâs death? You clearly know that Huiâer was killed by her, so why did you persecute my wife and children? Youâre my big brother! How could you do this to me?â
Mu YingRui struggled hard and tried to push Mu YingYi away. But Mu YingYi was a martial artist and Mu YingRui was a scholar, so of course he wasnât Mu YingYiâs opponent.
So, he anxiously shouted, âYouâer, come help your father. Take this scoundrel who stole everything of mine away!â
âStole everything of yours?â Zi Youâs eyes were sharp. She walked over and pulled on Mu YingYiâs hand. She shook her head and smiled. âFather, are you dizzy from being angry at your wife? How can you scold uncle like that?â
âScold him? Cough, cough......â Mu YingRui was choked by Mu YingYi. He coughed a dozen times before it subsided.
He was only angrier and scolded, âHow can I not scold him? Since childhood, how many things has he stolen away from me? Fame, status, property, and you and your motherâs love.â
âShut up!â Zi You heard what her slag father said and went to tap Wang Yiping and Wang Shengminâs acupuncture points. They became temporarily deaf. Then she said coldly and angrily to Mu YingRui, âYouâre not worthy to mention my mother. If you werenât fickle and heartless, my mother wouldnât have left me. When I left, my mother told me that the only thing she did wrong was that she married you. Fortunately she gave birth to me. Otherwise, she would really commit suicide out of regret!â
