After hearing this, Dongfang Yu quietly sighed with relief, and she knew what to do next.

***

The emperor’s son-in-law’s manor…

A beautiful woman sat within the main hall. She saw Mu Yi and Mu Qingya walking in from outside. She stood up and walked toward the two with a smile.

This beautiful woman did not look very old. Perhaps only around thirty and above, but less than forty. She was graceful and elegant.

Her face did not have any wrinkles, and her skin was flawless.

“Qingya, you’re back?” She smiled warmly.

Mu Qingya nodded. She seemed like she wanted to say something, but she did not say anything in the end.

Mu Yi looked at Princess Qingluo, pondered for a moment, and said, “I’m a bit tired, so I’ll go rest first.”

He did not say anything about Little Nine. If the Mu family’s old lady knew about it, he was afraid that she would start making a fuss again.

Mu Yi had a bit of a headache as he thought about the old lady’s bad temper. He rubbed his temples and walked to the backyard.

Qingluo watched Mu Yi leave, and the smile upon her face gradually disappeared.

For many years, Mu Yi had always treated her with respect, so she had already gotten used to him treating her like this.

But, she was still a bit unhappy. Why was that woman able to get his gentle treatment when she was with him, but not her?

“Qingya, did you have something to say to me just now?” Princess Qingluo turned to look at Mu Qingya; her face sank.

Mu Qingya pursed her lips. “Just now, when I was outside, I met a girl. That girl was a bit rude and hurt me.”

“What?” Qingluo’s face changed dramatically. Her expression turned cold. “Who is that girl? How dare she hurt my daughter!”

“Mother…” Mu Qingya smiled bitterly. “Father came to avenge me, but…”

She paused and lowered her gaze helplessly.

“But that woman was Little Nine.”

‘Little Nine…’

This name was so familiar to Qingluo.

Familiar to the point that her gaze sank and was filled with a wave of monstrous anger.

Her whole face turned cold.

“You mean, he doesn’t care about you being bullied because of Little Nine?”

Her daughter was her everything. Who dared to shout rudely in front of her daughter?

It was even more outrageous that Mu Yi did not help Qingya.

He must still be thinking about that woman!

Princess Qingluo hid the coldness in her eyes and said furiously, “Qingya, you must tell your grandmother about this. The only one person who can subdue your father is her.”

She was a high-ranking princess, but she loved Mu Yi and was unwilling to punish him. At this time, she could only make the old lady of the Mu family settle this.

Mu Yi would always listen to his mother.

“I’m going to meet Little Nine.” Princess Qingluo lifted her chin and sneered.

Mu Qingya was a little surprised. “Mother, why do you want to see her?”

“She must have a purpose coming here this time. She may want to follow Mu Yi to this manor to take all the glory and wealth. How can I allow her to do so? Your father has always been soft-hearted. He might agree to give it all to her after seeing her crying a few times. But I will never allow the daughter of another woman to enter this place!”
