Dongfang Yu was a little hesitant. She looked at Sima Yan standing in front of her in silence and finally nodded.
“Alright…”
Hearing these words, Sima Yan quietly sighed in relief, and the smile upon his face widened.
He gestured invitingly and was about to bring Dongfang Yu away with him.
It was partial that Mu Yi saw that his mother had suffered so much; he did not want to let Dongfang Yu go, so he ordered the people of the emperor’s son-in-law’s manor to block their way.
Seeing the action of the guards, Sima Yan’s face gradually turned cold again.
“What are the guards doing here? You still don’t want us to leave?”
Mu Yi stiffened and said expressionlessly, “She must go back and apologize to my mother. Otherwise, she won’t be leaving today.”
As a son, no matter how his mother was, he could not allow others to bully her like this. Otherwise, he would embarrass his mother, who nurtured and brought him up over the years.
Besides, despite all her faults, his mother had worked hard to bring him up alone and had even not remarried for his sake.
His mother had suffered so much for so many years because of him.
This was his rightful repayment for her.
Old Lady Mu did not marry again because her bad reputation was known to the whole city that no one would marry her.
Of course, Old Lady Mu would not tell Mu Yi about that. She instead put herself in a miserable light to gain Mu Yi’s trust.
However, Mu Yi had always thought that he dragged the old lady down. So, he listened to the old lady and did not want her to suffer even a little bit of aggravation.
“Mu Yi, you think just because you are the emperor’s son-in-law, you can do whatever you want? If you have to stop Maiden Dongfang, then you should go back to the palace and talk to the emperor.”
Mu Yi was stunned. He hesitated after hearing these words.
‘This girl and the emperor know each other?
‘That can’t be right.
‘She’s a servant. Anyone who is acquainted with the emperor can never be demoted to a servant.’
“Uncle Sima…” Mu Qingya smiled reluctantly. “I know your intention of saying this. There is no need for you to lie to my father. He will see the truth once he goes to my grandfather and asks. Don’t worry. I won’t let my father make things difficult for this girl. She can go now. ”
She thought that Sima Yan said that on purpose, deliberately making his father believe that Dongfang Yu and her grandfather know each other, as a way to make Mu Yi let her go.
In truth, the emperor couldn’t know a little servant.
Unless there was only one possibility… This servant had worked as a palace servant in the palace before.
However, she had never seen her, and even if she had worked as a palace servant, would her grandfather punish her father for her sake?
As expected, hearing Mu Qingya’s words, Mu Yi’s expression relaxed a lot. He continued to make the guards block their way.
“Qingya, don’t meddle in this matter. This girl hurt your grandmother, and I just need her to apologize. If we do not receive even an apology, then she will not leave!”
“But…” Mu Qingya bit her lip.
Mu Yi’s face turned cold. “This is my decision.”
Seeing that Mu Yi’s words had come to this, Mu Qingya sighed and did not open her mouth again, but only looked at Sima Yan guiltily.
Sima Yan smiled coldly as he turned to look at Mu Yi. “Are you sure you want to do this? No regrets?”
“No regrets!”
Mu Yi’s expression was firm and unquestionable.
