At this time, I heard Li Shangshu say leisurely: "However, when the official made the marriage certificate, there was no official seal on it, but the official seal on it was indeed the seal of the Ministry of Rites, and even the phoenix seals of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother were also there.
, it’s really incredible.”
Princess Wei scolded him: "Master Li, can you speak clearly? One moment you say it's true, and the next moment you say it's not sealed, how can an unsealed marriage certificate count?"
Li Shangshu said again: "Princess, don't be anxious. Wait until the official finishes what he said. The official will feel strange. The marriage certificate has been invalidated by the official at that time, and the official saw it burned with his own eyes. Why does it appear here again?"
?”
Everyone was also puzzled. Not only did the original appear, but it was also stamped with the official seal. It was indeed strange.
Jun Ning pinched his fingers. What did Li Shangshu mean? The marriage certificate was clearly sealed at the beginning. Why did he say it was not sealed?
Could it be that his dignified Minister of Rites wants to protect...
If it was the Empress Dowager who ordered it, he would certainly have reason to cover it up.
"Jun Mohan" said in a deep voice: "Master Li, since the Ministry of Rites has already produced the marriage certificate, why should it be invalidated?"
This is exactly what everyone wants to ask.
"Your Majesty, because the official wrote it wrong, the official has to check it clearly before sealing it." What he said was clearly a lie. In order to confirm the truth and complete the procedures, the Empress Dowager made a special trip to see Aunt Pei Wan.
He does this.
Li Shangshu lied without blushing, and said: "Later, when I checked with the people above, I found that there was no such person, and there was no one in the Mu family who was called Mu Lingwei and whose birth date matched her.
It is related to the royal family, so the lower officials must be cautious and cautious, and strive for perfection, so I didn’t have time to seal it.”
Everyone thought that Li Shangshu was probably old and was so slow in doing things and speaking slowly.
Li Shangshu added: "When I checked, I found that there was only one person named Mu Lian in the Mu family, and as early as seven years ago, the name Mu Lian was also removed from the genealogy by the Mu family, and was adopted to a distant relative Wu."
Cicada is a girl, and she even wrote a black letter on the paper to prove it."
Jun Ning finally couldn't help it anymore and said in a cold voice: "It's ridiculous. Mu Lian is here. How could there be no Mu Lian? I'm afraid Mu Lingwei became the governor, bent the law for personal gain, and used his power to erase Mu Lian.
Traces of.”
Bai Changyan also said sarcastically: "Listen, everyone, even Princess Ning calls her Mu Lian, and she keeps claiming that she is Mu Lingwei."
"Miss Mu Lian, please don't insult my master's name. Her name is unique. Besides, with your appearance, King Anyang doesn't like you. You'd better leave quickly."
Jun Ning suddenly lost his words and had a confused look on his face.
At this time, Jun Mochen came and said: "The Empress Dowager Qizhen, Mu Minghuai, Mu Sheng, Boss Mu and others were also brought here."
The Empress Dowager said to him: "Since you are here, please bring people here. Although the Ai family is the Empress Dowager, she is also an old man who wants to accumulate some blessings. He does not want to see blood even if his body is half buried. Since everyone is here,
Yes, just make it clear."
She then said warmly to Pei Lie: "I heard that the Tianqi Kingdom governs the country with benevolence and righteousness, which must win people's hearts. If the Ai family learns from it today, it will not make Grand Master Pei laugh."
Pei Lie's lips twitched. If Long Yuan Kingdom hadn't had this ancestor sitting in charge, it would have been destroyed long ago. They were all unfilial descendants. They didn't need others to attack them, and they would have finished their own civil war.
Here, Jun Mochen said in a deep voice: "Yes."
Soon, people from the Mu clan arrived.
In addition to the Mu Sheng family, there are other eloquent elders of the Mu family in Laishui County and the patriarch of the Mu family.
Even Mu Lian's adoptive parents were invited.
Immediately, everyone in the Mu family also saluted.
The Empress Dowager pointed at Mu Lian and asked, "Do you recognize this girl? She calls herself Mu Lingwei and comes to the Anyang Palace to deceive and deceive. The Ai family is investigating her, so you came."
Mu Sheng listened and kowtowed quickly, without even looking at Mu Lian, and said: "The common people don't recognize it."
Mu Lian looked at him, was this still her grandfather?
She said to Mu Minghuai again: "Father, tell them that I am Mu Lingwei, and I am your and your mother's daughter. You gave your daughter this name."
Gu Qingying also said quickly: "Minghuai, tell them that she is your daughter Mu Lingwei."
Mu Minghuai glared at them and dared to come to Anyang Prince's Mansion to cause trouble. Gu Qingying and Lian'er either thought their lives were too long or they were not embarrassed enough.
So, Mu Minghuai said coldly: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, Cao Min has never had a daughter named Mu Lingwei. There is only one daughter, Mu Lian, who was adopted long ago. As early as seven years ago, she was no longer Cao Min's."
The daughter is the adopted daughter of Wu Chan, a distant relative of the Mu family, so she has also been removed from the Mu family tree."
"Because the common people were confused for a while, they bought a girl as a maid. Her name was Mu Lingwei. Later, she replaced Lian'er and stayed with Tian'e. It wasn't until Tian'e died of illness more than half a year ago that she returned
The common people of the Mu family also made mistakes, so they accepted her as their goddaughter. I didn't expect that it would cause so many misunderstandings."
As soon as these words came out, Gu Qingying and Mu Lian were dumbfounded and looked at him blankly.
Mu Lian cried: "Dad, you don't want a daughter anymore? I am your daughter Ling Wei! Why do you talk like this?"
Being removed from the clan, what a crime it was to have her removed from the clan!
"Lian'er, you are already Wu Chan's daughter. You also signed the adoption letter and pledged it. As long as your adoptive parents treat you well, you will provide for them until they die and be filial to them. Now you have come back.
How can you accept me as your father?" Mu Minghuai said.
So, Mu Minghuai took out the adoption deed again, and Jun Mochen handed the deed into the hands of the Empress Dowager, "Emperor Grandma, please read it."
After the Empress Dowager saw it, she said angrily: "Mu Lian, you keep saying that you are Mu Lingwei who congratulated King Anyang in Linzhou. You clearly signed a painting to identify your new parents seven years ago. Did you see it?"
Mu Lingwei became jealous when she became the princess, so she came back to recognize her!"
Mu Lian was stunned when she was told what she was thinking. She didn't know what to do, so she pretended to be the charming and charming Qiqi Aiai again: "That's not the case."
Wu Chan and his wife also said: "Lian'er, go home with your parents. Over the years, your father and mother have loved and cared for you in every possible way. If there is anything we haven't done well, tell us and we will change it."
Mu Lian stared at Wu Chan and his wife fiercely, and said angrily: "You are all good to me because my father gave you money. How can you, a carpenter, raise me? All these years, you have also spent my biological father's money.
"
Mrs. Wu said: "Lian'er, why do you talk like this? You came to our family voluntarily, and we adopted you."
"Back then, your family suffered a disaster and the whole family was imprisoned. We took you away quietly and fed you well. We never let you lack food or clothing. Later, your father sent you some money.
Come, but I only have five taels of silver every year to buy you clothes, shoes, socks, spring, summer, autumn and winter clothes. You are short of any of them, and five taels of silver is not enough."
"For you, we even bought a maid to take care of you. Why are you so heartless and say these things?"
It was common for Mu Lian to get angry at them. She didn't hold back and said, "It's not the same surname."
