Beichenye's prediction was accurate. The news that Mu Qianyu had a daughter spread throughout the imperial capital the day after the Changsheng Painting Boat docked.
In this era, not to mention people like Mu Qianyu who are hot topics, even ordinary women from good families who give birth to children out of wedlock will be widely circulated and used as a negative case to educate the majority of women.
Although Mu Qianyu had never hidden it in the past, the pressure on the disciples in the academy was quite high. Many of them did not leave the academy once in a year or two, and they did not have time to gossip outside the academy. Even if the news about a woman occasionally spread, only a few people knew about it.
But there were so many people on board this time that the news naturally spread like wildfire.
Everyone was speculating and discussing who the child's father would be, and even people who knew the Mu family came to ask questions.
The Mu family has been avoided by everyone since they were demoted. From that day on, it became inexplicably lively. Official wives who had nothing to do and had some friendships came to visit one after another.
Mrs. Mu was flattered. Looking at the eager eyes of seven or eight people in the room, she really didn't know what to say.
After all, she didn't know about it before the rumors started, and she had never seen Mu Qianyu's child, so the news was even worse than others.
She also asked the servants and Mu Yanyan who had a lot of contact with Mu Qianyu three or four years ago, but these people all affirmed that Mu Qianyu had never been around a man, let alone a pregnant woman. It was simply ridiculous to talk about it as a child.
But what was said outside was so mysterious, and Mu Qianyu admitted it, that the Mu family was puzzled.
But Mu Zhengting felt that this was an opportunity, so he did not say that he did not know about it, but was vague to the outside world, making it look like he had something to hide.
Once spread like this, everything will be covered.
Mu Qianyu was considered a pure land in the academy, and there was no discordant sound at Luo Yu Peak, so it did not affect her and Nannan's life.
Most of the house on the top of the peak has been completed, and only the roofing and later repairs are left. It will be completely completed in another month.
Mu Qianyu was still too lazy to practice. He spent all his time supervising work and spending time with his children, and lived a very leisurely life.
Compared with her, the young emperor Bei Chenrui was extremely irritable. He started to take action as soon as he learned that Mu Qianyu had a map. He first asked the people from the Jianshengyuan to find a way to lure Lu Yu into his use, and then asked Lu Yu to scheme.
Mu Qianyu.
During the half month that Changsheng Huafang was on the lake, he had been imagining the scene where people and figures would be together. He wanted Mu Qianyu to know his methods and make her surrender under him.
Whenever he thought of such a scene, his blood boiled with passion, and he tormented the concubine and the maid to no end.
However, when the boat finally docked and he thought everything had come easily, people from the Prison Prison came to report that his property had been burned down and Liu Fujiang's body was found inside.
Hearing the news, he was shocked and furious, and sent the Jianshengyuan to do all they could to find out what happened that day. However, it seemed as if a big hand had erased all traces, and he found nothing.
He was so angry that he almost vomited blood in the palace. Before he could find a place to vent his anger, Yan Guan jumped out again and admonished him that he should not frequent the harem, trust the eunuchs, or even go to bed before midnight.
To rest, one should imitate the founding emperor and be diligent in government affairs.
Facing these officials who were obviously looking for trouble, he was already exhausted mentally and physically, but what frightened him even more was what came next, and that was the pressure from his uncle Bei Chenye.
Beichenye reprimanded him for abusing the people in the Jianshengyuan, temporarily took back his leadership power, and decided whether to return to power or not depending on his subsequent performance.
The Jianshengyuan has always only obeyed orders and the emperor, but the regent of this dynasty is so majestic that even the Jianshengyuan feels that it is natural to be under its jurisdiction.
The little emperor was completely alone. He thought things couldn't get any worse, until he found that the map he had kept in his storage ring had been taken away without anyone noticing.
He was stunned at that moment, and a moment later he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell on the bed unable to get up.
The queen was so frightened that she summoned the imperial doctor in the middle of the night.
Rumors immediately spread in the palace, saying that the emperor fainted due to excessive sexual intercourse, and it seemed that he was really not in good health.
Fortunately, the little emperor fainted and didn't hear it, otherwise he would have been so angry that he died. He didn't understand. He usually had everything going smoothly, but how could he be so unlucky after getting involved with Mu Qianyu.
Equally unlucky was the Prime Minister's family. Su Yuyan's reputation as a virtuous and kind person before her last trip was completely ruined.
Auctions will drive up prices, and you won't be able to get the money before the transaction is completed.
She is obsessed with men and stands in front of their doors all day and night.
Any one of these things is enough to make people who want to see the excitement of the Prime Minister's house shout with joy, let alone two things combined.
Su Yuyan locked herself in the room and smashed everything she saw, but refused to leave the room.
Su Yuqing used to feel that she was the most embarrassing person in the world when she was defeated by Mu Qianyu, but now she suddenly feels that it's not that bad in comparison.
Mrs. Su had already fallen ill due to the last incident in the ring and her son being imprisoned, and this time her condition became even more serious.
The reputations of two children were ruined and her son was imprisoned. This was a heavy blow to her.
Even with Su Xiang's cunning, his hair had turned a few gray this time. He thought that with his eldest daughter's connections and calculations, he would be able to destroy Mu Qianyu. Unexpectedly, within half a month, his proud eldest daughter would be destroyed.
It became like this.
He also thought that one day the Su family would fall into trouble, maybe in the hands of the emperor or the regent, but he never expected that they would fall in the hands of a little girl.
Could it be that the Su family has really run out of strength? God sent such a little girl to end the glory of his family?
Su Xiang was helpless in the face of this mess. Compared with dealing with Mu Qianyu, his son who was in prison was more important. After all, his body was damaged due to his errant practice and he would not be able to have another son.
The only person in the Su family who still has energy is Su Yuqing, who has adjusted her mentality and has experience in fighting against Mu Qianyu. She took the initiative to find Mu Yanyan, who had been looking for opportunities but could not find any.
After the Mu family was demoted, the Korean government knew that it was useless. Han Mobai was no longer interested in Mu Yanyan after appreciating Mu Qianyu's unparalleled elegance. Although the engagement had not been broken off, there was little contact, so he must be looking for an end to the engagement.
timing.
Mu Yanyan knew very well that her talent was average, and now her family was in decline. If she didn't join the Korean government, she would have no chance of getting ahead in her life.
But when she was about to be desperate, Su Yuqing came to her. She was filled with joy, feeling that her chance to make a comeback was about to come.
This time, she must step on Mu Qianyu and climb to a high position again.
