Chapter 430: Unspeakable

Translator: Vesper

After the news was spread, everyone knew about it except Prime Minister Mu, he only found out about it the next day when he was impeached in the royal court.

Prime Minister Mu’s expression was frighteningly gloomy, especially under Emperor Feng’s sharp gaze, if he did not take out the dowry, it would be hard to tell how things would turn out.

”Reporting to your majesty, Prime Minister Mu can’t even manage his own family affairs, how could he be a good Prime Minister? He even covets the dowry his deceased wife left behind for her children, nobody knows what other things he did over the years.”

”That’s right, your majesty, please investigate thoroughly.”

”Your majesty, please investigate thoroughly.”

The ministers were all kicking him when he was down, most of them were close to the Grand Tutor’s Residence.

Although Grand Tutor Lin’s family did not have a position as high as Prime Minister Mu, his network was many times stronger than Prime Minister Mu.

A few drops of sweat formed on Prime Minister Mu’s face, he hurriedly explained: “Your majesty, please perceives clearly, these are rumors spread by outsiders, someone is slandering me.”

”Prince from Xiao Empire, the Princess, the General, are all scrupulous people, why does the Prime Minister think someone is slandering you?” Emperor Feng was originally unaware of this matter.

Who knew that on the day before, Xiao Qi Tian suddenly entered the palace and told him about it which made him furious. Especially when he asked if the Prime Minister’s salary was not enough, which was why he had to covet his late wife’s dowry.

If it was a minor matter, it could be said to be Prime Minister’s Residence personal affairs, if it was made serious, was he implying that Empire Feng treasury wasn’t sufficient?

Prime Minister Mu’s expression became really ugly in an instant, could it be that they had spread the news?

”You’ve embarrassed yourself all they to Xiao Empire. Prime Minister Mu, it’s best you hurry up and give me an explanation, don’t wait for me to take action,” Emperor Feng’s expression was green from anger. When he looked at Prime Minister Mu, he really wished he could directly slap him to death.

”Reporting to your majesty, this old servant begs his majesty to allow the two children to break away from the Mu Family,” Grand Tutor Lin would normally not attend the royal court but he had attended today, he knelt on the ground and his voice was shaky.

”Grand Tutor, what are you doing? Hurry and get up, someone get the Grand Tutor a seat.”

”Yes.”

Grand Tutor Lin sat on a chair, he then told what Prime Minister Mu did that day: “He threatened the children right in my face, how aggrieved would the children be if they returned to the Prime Minister’s Residence? Over the years, the two children were cared for and pampered by our Lin Family, but they were bullied by the Mu family once they returned to the Prime Minister’s Residence. Because of my daughter’s dying wish, the two children had been tolerating everything in the Prime Minister’s Residence, but the people still wished the two children dead.”

Grand Tutor Lin said in tears: “My daughter left behind two precious children to this old servant, this old servant did not protect them and allowed them to be bullied, how can this old servant explain to my daughter after I die?”

”Impossible, Mu Chen and Mu Xue belong to the Mu Family, they will die as members of the Mu Family, don’t think of separating them from the Mu Family,” Prime Minister Mu directly retorted, it was not known if he had lost his mind.

”Members of the Mu Family? Have you ever treated the two children properly when they were in the Mu Family? They had their mother’s protection when their mother was still around. After their mother passed away, the two children had been bullied by that woman. If it wasn’t for us noticing it, those two children would be long dead,” Grand Tutor Lin had an angered expression, the gaze when he looked at Prime Minister Mu was as if he wanted to devour him whole.

Many ministers knew about this matter, at that time, Grand Tutor Lin and his son carried two bony children with shallow breathing to the throne, begging to take the children away from Mu Family and be raised in Lin Family.

They immediately felt disdainful towards Prime Minister Mu, he did not treat his children well but wanted them now, wasn’t it just because their current identities had reached a new height?

Grand Tutor Lin looked at Prime Minister Mu, he suddenly said: “If you agree to cut all ties with the two children, I will leave half of my daughter’s dowry to you. If you do not agree, you must take out all her dowry and not one item less.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The crowd looked at Prime Minister Mu, they wanted to see if he would choose the children or the massive dowry.
