After Wang Yiping was brought back to the General’s Manor by Mu YingRui, Old General Mu (Shangguan LingRan) and Mu YingYi were soon alerted.
They went to Mu YingRui’s study. Actually, they both weren’t in the house earlier. After reverting back to his appearance, Shangguan LingRan had gone to his maternal grandfather, Left Prime Minister’s 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 didn’t 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 wouldn’t 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 Minister’s 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 YingRui’s study and saw Mu YingRui slapping Wang Yiping. While he slapped her, he scolded, “You poisonous woman! I don’t treat you badly…… For you, I didn’t even pursue it when you caused the death of YouLian’s son. When you hurt You’er, I also close my eyes. But you’re good. You not only made me a cuckold, but you also gave me medicine so that I’m unable to have any more children. And you…… You’re pregnant with your brother’s deformed baby. Why don’t you die? I’m going to kill you!”
Mu YingYi grabbed his collar and angrily shouted, “What did you say? This woman caused Hui’er’s death? You clearly know that Hui’er was killed by her, so why did you persecute my wife and children? You’re my big brother! How could you do this to me?”
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 wasn’t Mu YingYi’s opponent.
So, he anxiously shouted, “You’er, come help your father. Take this scoundrel who stole everything of mine away!”
“Stole everything of yours?” Zi You’s eyes were sharp. She walked over and pulled on Mu YingYi’s hand. She shook her head and smiled. “Father, are you dizzy from being angry at your wife? How can you scold uncle like that?”
“Scold him? Cough, cough……” Mu YingRui was choked by Mu YingYi. He coughed a dozen times before it subsided.
He was only angrier and scolded, “How can I not scold him? Since childhood, how many things has he stolen away from me? Fame, status, property, and you and your mother’s love.”
“Shut up!” Zi You heard what her slag father said and went to tap Wang Yiping and Wang Shengmin’s acupuncture points. They became temporarily deaf. Then she said coldly and angrily to Mu YingRui, “You’re not worthy to mention my mother. If you weren’t fickle and heartless, my mother wouldn’t 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!”
