"It's too late to say anything now. If the rumors outside reach the Emperor's ears, everything will really be over." Mrs. Gu said angrily.
Arriving here first, Mrs. Gu walked faster and soon entered the room, where she saw Ning Jiuwei and Qi Lexuan.
"A lonely man and a widowed woman, you two are so shameless, do you really want to enter the Mu family?" Mrs. Gu raised her hand and slapped Ning Jiuwei.
The slap was caught off guard, and Ning Jiuwei, who had no strength to begin with, was hit to the side. If it weren't for Qi Lexuan's support, she would have fallen to the ground.
"You shrew, what are you doing? Are you sick? If you are sick, I will help you cure it." Qi Lexuan was so angry that she pulled Ning Jiuwei and pointed at Mrs. Gu's nose and cursed.
"You...are you still reasonable? You, a dignified woman, shamelessly ran into Qingchen's room. You are simply shameless." Mrs. Gu raised her hand to give Qi Lexuan another slap in the face.
But after what happened to Ning Jiuwei, Qi Lexuan was already prepared. How could she let Mrs. Gu succeed? She grabbed Mrs. Gu's wrist and threw it away hard.
"I'm telling you, once and for all, there will never be three or four. If you are taking action, then give it a try." Qi Lexuan said coldly.
Ning Jiu, who had been silent, covered her face slightly and stared at Mrs. Gu for a moment. She felt a constant buzzing in her ears, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her lips. She looked like this again, like this in her previous life.
"Mrs. Gu, besides slapping, do you do anything else?" Ning Jiuwei looked at Mrs. Gu and asked in a cold voice.
"What?" Mrs. Gu raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Ning Jiuwei.
Ning Jiuwei broke away from Qi Lexuan's arms, walked towards Mrs. Gu step by step, and then asked: "Why do you hate me so much? In other words, why do you hate me coming into your Mu family so much?"
"You have the nerve to ask, why do you have the nerve to ask me why I hate you after doing such a shameless thing?" Mrs. Gu looked at Ning Jiuwei with a mocking look on her face.
"I have no shame. Yes, I just have no shame. What's wrong? I have no shame because of my parents' upbringing. You raised your hand and slapped me, so what's the matter? Mrs. Gu, if you do this, you are not afraid of spreading the word. Do people say you have lost your grace?" Ning Jiuwei said word by word.
Especially when the word "parents" was mentioned so hard, Mu Xiaoxiao on the side trembled in her heart. Could this Ning Jiuwei know something
Impossible. If she knew about it, she would definitely come to recognize him. How could she make such a fuss with Mrs. Gu? She couldn't scare herself or get into trouble.
Hearing Ning Jiuwei's words, Mrs. Gu's chest heaved slightly. Originally, the emperor had already made a decree on Gu Qingchen's marriage, and it was none other than the fifth princess Qin Mo. But now at this juncture, the impact of this matter would be huge if word spread. It was too big, let alone what people outside said, it angered the emperor, and the Mu family couldn't eat it and carry it around.
"Let me ask you, did anything happen between you and Gu Qingchen?" Mrs. Gu asked with a frown.
Qi Lexuan on the side felt a chill when she heard Mrs. Gu's words, and said in a cold voice: "Do you think Gu Qingchen is just a flower or grass that everyone likes? If you really want something to happen, you need to wait until now? I beg you. You, Mrs. Gu, do you have to have a certain level of narcissism?"
"Really?" Mrs. Gu's hanging heart relaxed slightly.
Ning Jiuwei looked at Mrs. Gu, frowned and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"Auntie, even if nothing really happened between the two of them, the matter has been spread out. Is it just getting darker and darker just to explain it like this?" Mu Xiaoxiao said softly.
Hearing Mu Xiaoxiao's words, Ning Jiuwei glanced at her. According to Qi Lexuan, Mu Xiaoxiao saw them last night, so she told Mrs. Gu to come here.
"Xiaoxiao, what do you think we should do?" Mrs. Gu looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and asked.
"Since it's already been said like that outside, it's better to just admit it." Mu Xiaoxiao said.
Mrs. Gu frowned, looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and said, "In this case, where will you put the royal family's face? The emperor will definitely not let the Mu family go."
"Auntie, when I say recognition, I don't mean recognition between Ning Jiuwei and Qingchen. After all, there are three men in the Mu family." Mu Xiaoxiao said.
"You mean Chen Feng and Yun Xiao?" Mrs. Gu frowned, obviously unwilling.
Ning Jiuwei was really angry when she heard the discussion between Mrs. Gu and Mu Xiaoxiao. How narcissistic must they be to think that she would be at their mercy.
"Mrs. Gu, I think I should go and say goodbye." Ning Jiuwei said, enduring the pain in her body, and walked outside.
Seeing Ning Jiuwei about to leave, Mu Xiaoxiao hurriedly stepped forward, took her hand with a smile, and said: "Jiuwei, I think we may have some misunderstandings about what happened today, but it will affect your reputation anyway, right?" , so for the sake of both of us, we should clarify it."
"Sorry, I don't care about reputation, and I don't care about your Mu family, so I think your discussion just now is meaningless." Ning Jiuwei's face was as cold as ice.
Hearing Ning Jiuwei's words, Mrs. Gu's face became even more ugly. She was always the only one who disliked others. When would it be someone's turn to dislike the Mu family.
In fact, people are so strange. You can hate others and look down on others, but when you find that this person looks down on you, you will become inexplicably angry. This shortcoming is especially obvious in people who live a privileged life.
Just as Mrs. Gu was about to speak, a servant trotted in behind her. He was out of breath and sweating profusely, as if he had encountered something urgent.
"Madam, madam, it's not good..." the boy gasped for air.
"What's wrong? Can you say something auspicious so early in the morning? Why are you in such a panic? What happened?" Mrs. Gu was interrupted and said very unhappy.
The boy raised his finger and pointed behind him, and said: "Yes... the Fourth Master is here. He is now in the flower hall. The Master asked his wife to hurry over."
"What? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Why don't you leave quickly?" After hearing what the boy said, Mrs. Gu suddenly felt uneasy.
The fourth master came here at this time. It must be that the palace has received some news. The army has come to investigate, but it won't be so fast.
As soon as Mrs. Gu stepped down the steps, she looked up and saw Qin Lin, dressed in a black python robe, walking over with a gloomy face. The person following behind him was her husband Mu Nanfeng.
"My wife is meeting the Fourth Master. I wonder what the Fourth Master is here for this time?" Mrs. Gu saluted while looking at Mu Nanfeng behind her, hoping to get some hints.
When Mu Xiaoxiao saw Qin Lin, she lowered her eyes slightly, bowed her knees and saluted, and said in a voice as sweet and crisp as an oriole in February: "Fourth Master."
