Mu Jingrui's heart skipped a beat and immediately sank.
Mu Jingyan saw his brother's face change and guessed what he was worried about.
"What's the reason why you said Shangguan Yue framed my father?" Mu Jingyan asked.
Grand Tutor Sun sighed lightly, his eyes drooping in sadness.
"Once the emperor and the ministers are, this is something that every official knows in his heart. Therefore, when encountering a battle to fight for the throne, he will have to choose to take the team. If he chooses the right choice, his glory and wealth will continue; if he chooses the wrong choice, he will be lucky.
All he had was dismissed from office and was dismissed from his armor. Unfortunately, he might even be killed in the whole family."
"Shangguan Yue, as the prime minister, has always been the target of the crown prince and the second prince. He is an old fox and never refuses to express his opinion. He seems to be neutral, but in fact he is just waiting for an opportunity."
"Until more than a year ago, when you came to propose marriage and was rejected by Miss Shangguan, everyone knew that she belonged to the second prince. Shangguan Yue favored his daughter, so of course he would fulfill his wish. Naturally, there was no choice but to stand.
On the side of the second prince.”
"It happened that at that time, the barbarians at the border attacked, but your father was defeated one after another. He had a good relationship with Shangguan Yue, and Shangguan Yue knew very well that your father had been the supporter of the crown prince from beginning to end. That's why he colluded with him.
The Minister of War, bribed your father's subordinates and accused him of cooperating with the enemy and treason."
Grand Tutor Sun saw the Mu brothers and sisters' faces getting ugly, stopped telling, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Do you still want to continue listening?"
"Speak." Mu Jingrui's hand hidden in his sleeve clenched into a fist.
Grand Tutor Sun seemed very comfortable to see him trying his best to endure it.
"As for your father's death... he did die on the battlefield where he fought against the barbarians. No one knows whether he was plotted against or did he commit suicide by knowing that he could not escape after he came back."
As Mu Jingyan listened, tears quietly slid down in his red eyes.
"How did you know these things?" Mu Jingrui asked.
Grand Tutor Sun stood up and slowly walked to Mu Jingrui.
"I can take the position of the Taifu, not by luck. I am ordered to investigate this case. If I can't find anything, how can I explain to the emperor? However, when I found out about these, I knew that Shangguan Yue was standing.
The second prince’s side. Since that’s the case, why should I expose such a powerful Allied army?”
The words of Taifu Sun are reasonable.
But Mu Jingrui couldn't accept it. The person who really framed his father would be Shangguan Yue.
If it was him, then Shangguan Wanning...
"This is your one-sided statement, why should I believe you?"
"I didn't let you believe me. I just said whatever you ask. I just wanted to keep my son from being hurt by you. As for other things... If you want to know more, check it yourself."
Mu Jingrui forced his anger and left, and Mu Jingyan hurriedly followed him out.
The two walked silently on the quiet midnight street, and the bright moonlight stretched their figures.
After walking aimlessly for a long time, Mu Jingyan stepped forward and grabbed his brother's sleeve.
"Brother, are you okay?"
Mu Jingrui's thoughts instantly returned to his mind. He looked at his thin sister, squeezed out a smile in front of him, and gently patted her head.
"I'm fine, let's go back."
"Brother, where can we go? No matter where, we are, we are not our home."
Mu Jingyan's words completely defeated Mu Jingrui's last psychological defense line. He lowered his head and his chest kept rising and falling.
"Brother, if... the person who framed his father was really Shangguan Yue, would you kill him and avenge him?"
"Yes." Mu Jingrui answered firmly.
"Then...what should Shangguan Wanning do?"
This sentence deeply hurt Mu Jingrui's heart.
"Brother, I know you like her very much. She has helped us a lot these days. But why did she help us? She refused to fulfill her engagement at the time, but now she is so kind to you. Don't you think it's suspicious.
?”
These doubts of Mu Jingyan have always been the doubts in Mu Jingrui's heart.
However, he remembered Shangguan Wanning's bright smile and clear eyes, and he always felt that... the look she looked at him was sincere.
"Brother, you must stay calm and sober. This may be the conspiracy between the father and daughter, so you must not be deceived by them."
Mu Jingrui took a deep breath, and he held Mu Jingyan's hand and said, "Xiaoyan, don't worry, no matter what, parents' revenge must be avenged. However, we cannot be so arbitrary, just listen to Sun Taifu
The one-sided statement was determined to be done by Shangguan Yue.”
"Obe obedient, give me some time, I will follow this clue to investigate. I promise you that if it is found out that it was indeed the work of Shangguan Yue, even Shangguan Wanning... can't stop me from taking revenge. I will definitely kill it with my own hands.
he."
"Um."
Although Mu Jingrui said this, Mu Jingyan's heart was still hanging in the air, feeling a little uncomfortable.
After returning to the prince's mansion, the two went back to their rooms to sleep.
Mu Jingyan became depressed. She didn't know how Mu Jingrui would start investigating. She wanted to ask about the situation several times, but she always swallowed it back when she said something.
She walked alone on the street and relaxed, walked into a rouge shop, and the store warmly came up to introduce it.
"Girl, look at this jade powder, which is especially suitable for your skin tone. If you apply it on your face, you can make your skin tender. The price is not expensive, otherwise I will help you
You wrap it up?"
Mu Jingyan has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and has no interest in these rouge powders. He was about to turn around and leave when a voice came from the side.
"Shopkeeper, wrap it up for this girl, and then look at other suitable ones, and they will be settled in my account."
"Oh, Miss Shangguan, are you here?" The shopkeeper immediately went out and bowed, "How else do you have a trip in person? If you need to send someone to say hello, I'll deliver it to you."
Shangguan Wanning nodded and walked lightly to Mu Jingyan.
"Jing Yan, what else do you like?"
Mu Jingyan slapped the box in his hand on the counter, raised his lips and sneered: "Although our Mu family has a lot of family, I can afford it a box of rouge, and I don't need an official.
Miss, bother."
Mu Jingyan was not good at speaking, and Shangguan Wanning was a little surprised.
"Jing Yan, what's wrong with you?"
"No, I just don't want to have any involvement with your Shangguan family." Mu Jingyan turned around and left, walked to the door and stopped again, turned to look at Shangguan Wanning, and said contemptuously, "Since you are already crying and making a fuss."
Everyone knows that he refuses to marry my brother. Then please stay away from him in the future and don’t write to him at any time, wanting to see him. You are shameless, my brother wants it."
